         or voidable by only Tenant, and Tenant shall be entitled to a full
         refund for all amounts paid to Landlord within 30 days of the specified

         begin until the actual Commencement Date.

BASE RENT

         3.A.  Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, at such place as Landlord may
         designate, without demand, deduction or setoff:

                  (a) Rental of Sixty One Thousand One Hundred Thirty Four &
                  20/100 Dollars ($61,134.20) per year ("Base Rent"), payable in

<PAGE>   5

                  (c) Any sales, privilege, or rental tax now or hereafter
                  required by any governmental body on all Base Rent and
                  additional Rent amounts (as hereinafter defined) due from

                  paragraph 3.A.(a) hereinabove, and the Security Deposit (as
                  hereinafter defined), if any.

         B.    Tenant agrees that any adjustments to Base Rent under Paragraph
         5, and all other sums due Landlord from Tenant hereunder shall be
         considered additional rental ("Additional Rent") from Tenant and shall
         entitle Landlord to all remedies provided for herein or at law or
         equity because of Tenant's failure to pay rent.

         4.    Landlord agrees to perform work and make installations in
         Premises as set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made a part
         hereof. Such work and installations are referred to as Landlord's
         Initial Construction". All of the provisions of Exhibit "B" are
         incorporated herein by reference and shall be considered a part hereof.

ELECTRICITY
USED WITHIN THE
PREMISES

         6.    The Base Rent does include electricity for lights and outlets
         used by Tenant within Premises, provided, that Landlord may submeter
         Tenant's electrical usage and Tenant shall pay as Additional Rental on
         a monthly basis any amounts in excess of $.0625 per rentable square
         foot of electrical utility charges associated with Tenant's electrical
         usage. Such costs shall be billed to Tenant at Landlord's actual per
         KWH rate from Landlord's electrical utility provider. Tenant shall not,
         without the prior consent of Landlord, use or connect any electrical
         equipment or make excessive use of electrical wiring in the Building or
         interfere with the electrical use or reasonable electrical requirements
         of Landlord and other tenants in the Building. Landlord shall not be
         responsible in any way for any interruption, curtailment or failure or
         defect in the supply of electricity furnished to Premises by reason of
         any requirement, act or omission of any public utility company, or for
         any other reason.

USE

         7.    Premises shall be used for offices and for no other purpose.
         Premises shall not be used for retail sales (unless specified to the
         contrary) or for any illegal purposes or in violation of any regulation
         of any governmental body, or in any manner to create any nuisance or
         trespass, or to vitiate any insurance or increase the rate of insurance
         on Premises or the building. Tenant agrees to comply with all
         governmental rules, regulations, decrees or requirements applicable to
         the use and occupancy of Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit
         anything to be done in or about Premises which will obstruct or
         interfere with the rights of other tenants in the Building. If Tenant
         receives notice of any claim of violation of any law, rule or
         regulation applicable to Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice
         thereof to Landlord. In case of breach of any of the

                                       2
<PAGE>   6

         covenants contained in this Paragraph, Landlord may, in addition to all
         other remedies available to the Landlord under the Lease, elect to
         terminate this Lease by giving Tenant sixty (60) days written notice to
         vacate.

RELOCATION AND             *SEE SPECIAL STIPULATION, PARAGRAPH 38.1.
TERMINATION

REPAIRS TO PREMISES
AND REMOVAL OF
TENANT'S IMPROVEMENTS

         9.A.  Tenant accepts Premises in their present "as is" condition
         (subject to completion of the improvements required by Exhibit "B", if
         any). Tenant will, at Tenant's sole expense, take good care of Premises
         and the fixtures, equipment and appurtenances therein, and will suffer
         no active or permissive waster or injury thereof. Tenant agrees, at
         Tenant's expense, but under the direction of Landlord, to promptly
         repair (making replacements where necessary) any injury or damage to
         Premises and to the fixtures, equipment and appurtenances therein, and
         any injury or damage to the Building caused by Tenant, Tenant's
         employees, or by persons permitted on Premises by Tenant, or by Tenant
         moving in or out of Premises; all such repairs and replacements shall
         be of a quality equal to original installations. If Tenant fails to
         make such repairs or replacements promptly, Landlord may, at its
         options, make repairs or replacements, and Tenant shall repay the cost
         thereof to Landlord on demand. Landlord shall not be required to make
         any improvements to or repairs of any kind or character on the Premises
         during the Term, except as expressly provided herein. Landlord shall
         repair the Building plumbing, heating, ventilating or air-conditioning
         and electrical systems and shall make structural and mechanical repairs
         within the Premises arising from ordinary wear and tear or through
         causes over which Tenant has no control, except as otherwise provided
         in this Lease. Except as provided in Paragraph 12 hereof, there shall
         be no allowance, abatement or apportionment of rent payable by Tenant
         and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience,
         annoyance or injury to business arising from the making of any repairs,
         alterations, decorations, additions or improvements in or to any
         portion of the Building or Premises, or in or to fixtures,
         appurtenances or equipment, and no liability upon Landlord for failure
         to make any repairs, alterations, decorations, additions or
         improvements in or to any portion of the Building, or the premises, or
         in or to fixtures, appurtenances or equipment, or by reason of the act
         or neglect of Tenant or any other Tenant or occupant of the Building.

         B.    Tenant will not, without Landlord's written consent, which
         consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, make any
         alterations or improvements in or about Premises. Tenant shall be
         required to obtain all appropriate governmental permits and approvals
         at Tenant's expense prior to beginning any such work in Premises. All
         alterations, additions or improvements (including, but not limited to,
         carpets, drapes and drapery hardware) made or installed by Tenant or by
         the Landlord for Tenant's benefit to the Premises shall become the
         property of Landlord at the Expiration Date. Landlord reserves the
         right, however, to require, Tenant, at Tenant's expense: (x) to remove
         any improvements or additions made to the Premises by Tenant, or
         non-standard

                                       3
<PAGE>   7

         improvements made by Landlord for Tenant's benefit, at the Expiration
         Date: and (y) to repair all injury done by or in connection with
         installation or removal of said improvements or additions less ordinary
         wear and tear. On notice by Landlord, Tenant further agrees to do so
         prior to the Expiration Date, or within thirty (30) days after notice
         from Landlord, whichever shall be later, provided that Landlord gives
         such notice no later than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date.

         C.    No later than the Expiration Date, Tenant will remove all
         Tenant's personal property and Tenant shall repair all injury done by
         or in connection with the installation or removal of said property and
         surrender Premises (together with all keys to Premises) in as good a
         condition as they were at the beginning of the Term, reasonable wear
         and tear excepted. All property of Tenant remaining on Premises after
         the expiration Date shall be deemed conclusively abandoned and may, at
         the election of Landlord, either be retained as Landlord's property or
         be removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
         cost of removing the same, subject however, to Landlord's right to
         require Tenant to remove any improvements or additions made to premises
         by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraph.

         D.    In doing work of any nature in, to or about Premises, Tenant will
         use only contractor or workmen approved by Landlord. Tenant shall
         remove or appropriately bond any lien for material or labor claimed to
         be furnished to Premises on Tenant's or any sub-tenant's behalf within
         three (3) business days of its filing.

                  (a) Automatic elevator service in common with other tenants

                  one elevator shall be available at all other times.

                  (b) Heat, air conditioning and ventilation when, in the
                  judgment of Landlord, it may be required for comfortable
                  occupancy of the Premises shall be furnished during the work
                  day hours of 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Mondays through
                  Fridays, and from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. on Saturdays;

                  (c) Water for lavatory purposes;

                  (d) Common use restrooms;

                  (e) Nightly cleaning and janitorial service for office areas
                  in accordance with usual standards for offices, provided same
                  are kept reasonably in order by Tenant. Services under items
                  (a) and (b) for periods other than periods prescribed above
                  will be made available by Landlord for the benefit of Tenant
                  provided Tenant has given Landlord written notice at least 24
                  hours in advance. Tenant shall pay on demand as Additional
                  Rent Landlord's standard charge for such additional
                  services(s), and for the cost of removal of Tenant's refuse
                  and rubbish to the extend that the same

                                       4
<PAGE>   8

                  exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use
                  of demised premises exclusively as offices. If the premises or
                  any part thereof are not used exclusively as offices, same
                  shall be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant's
                  expense, and to the satisfaction of Landlord, and by persons
                  approved by Landlord.

         B.    Landlord shall in no way be liable for cessation of any of the
         services of this Paragraph 10 caused by strike, lock-outs, labor
         disputes, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of
         power, fuel shortages, restrictive governmental laws or regulations,
         riots, insurrection, was, injunction, court order, act of God,
         accident, breakdown, or other reason of like nature beyond the
         Landlord's control, nor shall Landlord be liable for damages from the
         stopping of elevators or elevator service, or any of the fixtures or
         equipment in the Building being out of repair, or for injury to person
         or property, caused by any defects in the electrical equipment,
         heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, elevators or water
         apparatus, or for any damages arising out of failure to furnish the
         services enumerated in this Paragraph 10. Cessation of any of the
         services of this Paragraph 10 shall not be considered to be an eviction
         or disturbance of Tenant's use of Premises, shall not entitle Tenant to
         any apportionment, abatement or set-off or rent payable by Tenant, not
         shall this Lease or any of the provisions hereof be deemed invalidated
         by such cessation.

         C.    Landlord's obligation to furnish light, heat and power shall be
         conditioned upon the availability of adequate energy sources. Landlord
         shall have the right to reduce services provided within the Building as
         required by any mandatory or voluntary fuel or energy savings,
         allocation or similar statute, regulation, order or program.

TENANT RISK

         11.   Tenant agrees that all personal property brought into the
         Premises by Tenant, its employees, licensees and invitees shall be at
         the sole risk of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof
         or of any money deposited therein or for any damages thereto; such
         theft or damage being the sole responsibility of Tenant.

DESTRUCTION OR
DAMAGE TO PREMISES

         12.A. If the Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other
         casualty without fault or neglect of Tenant, and Tenant shall give
         prompt notice thereof to Landlord, the damages shall be repaired by and
         at the expense of Landlord, and the Base Rent until such repair shall
         be made shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part
         of the Premises which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area
         of the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any damage
         to, or replace, any fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment or
         other property or effects of Tenant.

         B.    Anything in subsection A of this Paragraph 12 to the contrary
         notwithstanding, if the Premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly
         untenantable, and if Landlord shall decide not to restore the Premises,
         or if the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty, that,
         in Landlord's opinion, substantial alteration, demolition or
         reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not
         Premises shall have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then in any
         of such events, Landlord, at Landlord's option, may, not later than
         ninety (90) days following the damage, give Tenant a notice in writing

                                       5
<PAGE>   9

         terminating this Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, the
         Term shall expire upon the tenth (10th) day after such notice is given,
         and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to
         Landlord. If Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease, then upon
         the termination of this Lease under the conditions proved for in the
         next preceding sentence, Tenant's liability for rent shall cease as of
         the day following such damage.

         C.    In no event shall rent abate if the damage or destruction of the
         Premises, whether total or partial, is the result of the negligence of
         Tenant, its agents, or employees.

         D.    Landlord shall have no liability under any circumstances for any
         business losses of Tenant, or for any losses to Tenant's personal
         property or fixtures caused by any casualty occurrence as contemplated
         in this Paragraph 12. No damages shall accrue to Tenant, nor shall any
         termination privilege become operable against Landlord for delays,
         including but not limited to, adjustments or any insurance claims by
         Landlord.

         13.A. This Lease is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate to
         any ground or underlying lease(s) and to any first lien mortgage or
         deed to secure debt which may now or hereafter cover or affect such
         lease(s) or the land on which the Building is constructed or the
         Building and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
         replacements and extensions of any such underlying lease(s) mortgages
         or deeds to secure debt. This clause shall be self-operative and no
         further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, at any
         time and from time to time, Tenant shall execute promptly any
         certificate in confirmation of such subordination that Landlord may
         request.

         B.    If any such ground or underlying lease(s) or first lien mortgage
         or deed to secure debt is terminated or foreclosed, this Lease (at the
         option of the lessor under such ground or underlying lease(s) or the
         purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as the case may be), shall not
         terminate, nor be terminable by Tenant by reason of such termination or
         foreclosure, and Tenant shall (if requested) attorn to the lessor under
         such ground or underlying lease(s) or the purchaser at such foreclosure
         sale.

         C.    If in connection with obtaining financing for the Building, or of
         any ground or underlying lease(s), a recognized institutional lender
         shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to
         such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer
         its consent, provided that such modifications do not increase the
         obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect Tenant's
         leasehold interest or Tenant's use and enjoyment of Premises.

         D.    From time to time, within seven (7) days next following
         Landlord's request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written
         statement executed and acknowledged by Tenant in form satisfactory to
         Landlord, (i) stating that this Lease is in full force and effect and
         has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all
         modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which the Base Rent,
         Additional Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid, (iii)
         stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in
         default under this Lease and if Landlord is in default, setting forth
         the specified nature of all such defaults, (iv) stating the amount of
         Security Deposit deposited by Tenant with Landlord

                                       6
<PAGE>   10

         as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and (v) as to
         any other matters requested by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that any
         statement delivered pursuant to this subsection D may be relied upon by
         any purchaser or owner of the Building or the real property, or of
         Landlord's interest in the real property or the Building, or by any
         mortgagee or holder of a deed to secure debt, or by any assignee of any
         mortgagee or holder of a deed to secure debt.

RULES AND
REGULATIONS

         14.   Tenant will observe and comply with the "Rules and Regulations"
         attached hereto as Exhibit "C", and such further reasonable rules and
         regulations as Landlord may prescribe on written notice to Tenant as
         long as such further rules and regulations are uniformly applied and
         enforced to all tenants in the building.

         15.   Tenant shall not overload the floors, nor shall Tenant install
         any heavy business machines or any safes or heavy equipment of any kind
         without prior written consent of Landlord, which, if granted, may be
         conditioned upon moving by skilled licensed handlers and installation
         and maintenance at Tenant's expense of special reinforcings and
         settings adequate to absorb and prevent notice and vibration.

BANKRUPTCY

         16.   If at any time prior to or during the Term there shall be filed
         by or against Tenant in any court pursuant to any State or Federal
         statute a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or
         for appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of
         Tenant's property, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of
         creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement, this Lease
         may be cancelled and terminated by Landlord and in such event neither
         Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of
         any statue or of any order of any court shall be entitled to possession
         or to remain in possession of the Premises. If the Term has commenced,
         Tenant shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises, and Landlord,
         in addition to the other rights and remedies given by Paragraph 17 or
         elsewhere in this Lease or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, may
         retain as liquidated damages any rent, Security Deposit or monies

                                       7
<PAGE>   11

                  fail to remedy such default within ten (10) days after notice
                  by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is
                  of such a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within
                  said ten (10) days and Tenant shall not commence within said
                  ten (10) days, and shall not thereafter diligently prosecute
                  to completion, all steps necessary to remedy such default; or

                  (c) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance
                  of any term, covenant or condition on Tenant's part to be
                  observed or performed under any other lease with Landlord or
                  Landlord's predecessor in interest of space in the Building
                  and such default shall continue beyond any grace period set
                  forth in such other lease for the remedy of such default; or

                  (d) if the Premises shall become vacant, deserted or abandoned
                  but not when Tenant continues to pay rent; or

                  (e) if Tenant's interest in this Lease shall devolve upon or
                  pass to any person, whether by operation of law or otherwise
                  except as expressly permitted under Paragraph 18; or
                  (f) if the Premises are damaged by reason of the negligence or
                  carelessness of Tenant, its servants, employees, agents,
                  visitors or licensees, then, upon the occurrence of any such
                  Events of Default, Landlord, at any time thereafter, at
                  Landlord's option, may:

                           (i) Give to Tenant fifteen (15) days notice of
                           termination of this Lease and, in the event such
                           notice is given, this Lease and the Term shall come
                           to an end and expire (whether or not the Term shall
                           have commenced) upon the expiration of said fifteen
                           (15) days with the same effect as if the date of
                           expiration of said fifteen (15) days were the
                           Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for
                           damages a herein provided. Upon such termination by
                           Landlord, Tenant shall at once surrender possession
                           of Premises to Landlord and remove all of Tenant's
                           effects therefrom and Landlord may forthwith re-enter
                           the Premises and repossess himself thereof, and
                           remove all persons and effects therefrom, under
                           process of law.

                           (ii) Remedy such default for the account and at the
                           expense of Tenant without thereby waiving such
                           default.

         B.    In addition to and not in lieu of Landlord's foregoing rights,
         Landlord may, at its option, as Tenant's agent, without termination of
         this Lease, enter upon and rent Premises at the best price obtainable
         by reasonable effort, with or without advertisement, and by private
         negotiations and for any term Landlord deems proper, whereupon Tenant
         shall have no right to reenter or occupy Premises. Tenant shall be
         liable to Landlord for the deficiency, if any, between all rents
         reserved hereunder and the total rental applicable to the term obtained
         by Landlord on re-letting after deducting Landlord's expenses in
         restoring or altering Premises and all costs incident to such
         reletting, including without limitations, reasonable legal fees,
         reasonable advertising costs and reasonable brokerage commissions.

ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING

         18.A. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, tenant shall not
         assign this Lease or sub-lease Premises or any part thereof. If Tenant
         desires to sublease Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give
         Landlord written notice of such desire at least fifteen (15) days in
         advance of the date of which tenant desires to make such sub-lease.
         Said Tenant's notice shall be accompanied by the name of the proposed
         sub-tenant, a copy of the proposed sub-lease, and such financial
         information relative to the proposed sub-tenant's financial
         responsibility as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall have
         a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice and
         information to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either
         option (i), to cancel and terminate this Lease if the request is to
         sub-lease all of Premises; or, option (ii), if the request is to
         sub-lease a portion of Premises only (said portion being an entire
         floor or floors), to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to
         such portion; or, option (iii), to refuse to consent to Tenant's
         sub-leasing such space and continue this Lease in full force and effect
         as to the entire Premises; or, option (iv), to consent to the proposed
         sublease. Landlord's notice to Tenant, under options (i) and (ii) shall
         state an effective date of such cancellation and termination which
         shall be not less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred-twenty
         (120) days from the service of Landlord's notice. In no event should
         Landlord consent to any proposed sub-lease if Tenant is then in default
         under this Lease. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing
         of the election of options (i) or (ii) within said sixty (60) day
         period, Landlord will be considered to have elected option (iv) above
         subject to Paragraph 18.C. Any attempted sub-lease by Tenant in
         violation of the terms and conditions of this paragraph shall be void.

         18.C. Any attempted sub-lease by Tenant in violation of the terms and
         conditions of this paragraph shall be void.

         B.    In the event Landlord shall exercise said option (i) or (ii)
         Tenant shall surrender possession of the entire Premises or the portion
         which is the subject of the option as the case may be, on the date set
         forth in Landlord's notice in accordance with the provisions of this
         Lease relating to surrender of Premises on the Expiration Date. If this
         Lease shall be cancelled as to a portion of Premises only, the rent
         payable by terms under this lease shall be abated proportionately
         according to the entire Premises and "Tenant's Proportionate Share"
         shall be redefined and Landlord shall issue to Tenant a notice setting
         forth the new definition of "Tenant's Proportionate Share." Landlord's
         election of option (i) or (ii) shall not affect Tenant's obligation to
         pay adjustments to Base Rent for the period prior to the termination
         date.

         C.    In the event that Landlord shall not exercise option (i) or (ii)
         within 60 days after the receipt of Tenant's written request, then
         Landlord's consent to such request shall not be unreasonably withheld
         provided:

                  (a) the proposed sub-leasing is for purposes not inconsistent
                  with the manner of use permitted herein and is in keeping with
                  the then standards of the Building and does not violate any
                  negative covenants as used in any other lease between Landlord
                  and other tenants in the Building;

                                       9
<PAGE>   13

                  (b) the proposed sub-tenant is a reputable party of reasonable
                  financial worth considering the responsibility involved and
                  Tenant shall provide Landlord with proof thereof satisfactory
                  to Landlord;

                  (c) any proposed sub-lease shall contain a provision making
                  such sub-lease subject to the terms and conditions of this
                  Lease;

                  (d) such sub-leasing shall not release Tenant from the due,
                  prompt, and punctual performance of all the terms, covenants
                  and conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be
                  performed or observed and from the payment of the base Rent
                  and Additional Rent due and to become due under this Lease;

                  (e) Tenant submits a copy of the proposed sub-lease, executed
                  by the proposed sub-tenant, to Landlord for its review and
                  approval prior to execution by Tenant; and

                  (f) Tenant and the proposed sub-tenant shall execute
                  Landlord's standard form of consent to said subleasing and
                  shall pay all of Landlord's processing and reasonable legal
                  costs incurred in reviewing and approving said proposed
                  sub-lease.

         D.    In no event shall any sub-leasing to which Landlord may have
         consented release or relieve Tenant from its obligations to fully
         perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on its
         part to be performed.

         E.    If Tenant sublets the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
         an executed duplicate original of the sublease within seven (7) days of
         the date of execution and delivery thereof, and shall pay to Landlord a
         sum equal to (i) any rent or other consideration paid to Tenant by any
         subtenant in excess of the Base Rent then being paid by Tenant to
         Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and (ii) any other profit
         or gain realized by tenant from such subletting. The sums payable
         hereunder by Tenant shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent
         immediately upon the receipt thereof by Tenant.

         F.    Tenant covenants and agrees that in any case where Tenant claims
         Landlord is unreasonably withholding its consent, such dispute shall be
         determined by arbitration in the City of Atlanta in accordance with the
         rules and regulations then in effect of the American Arbitration
         Association or its successors. Any such determination shall be final
         and binding upon the parties. In no event shall Tenant make any claim
         against Landlord for damages resulting from said dispute.

RIGHT
OF
ENTRY

         19.    Landlord shall have the right to enter into and grant licenses
         to enter the Premises at any time for any purpose Landlord may deem
         necessary for any installation in or operation of the Building,
         including without limitation, the exhibiting or Premises to prospective
         purchasers, mortgagees or tenants. In addition, Landlord shall have the
         right to take all necessary materials and equipment into Premises and
         to store the same within, as necessitated by Landlord's work. Any entry
         and activity by the Landlord, as permitted under this Paragraph 19,
         shall not entitle Tenant to any rent abatement, shall not constitute an
         eviction of Tenant and shall not in any way violate the Lease or any
         provision thereof.

         Building stands or any estate therein is taken by virtue of eminent
         domain or is conveyed or leased in lieu of such taking, this Lease
         shall expire on the date when title shall vest, or the term of such
         lease shall commence, and any rent paid for any period beyond said date
         shall be repaid to Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of
         the award or any payment in lieu thereof. Provided, however, that
         widening of streets abutting the land on which the Building stands
         shall not affect this Lease, provided no part of the Building is so
         taken. Tenant shall not be prevented from pursuing any claim for
         business damages against the condemning authority, provided Tenant's
         claim will not diminish Landlord's award.

QUIET

         21.   Tenant, on paying the Base Rent and any Additional Rent and
         keeping and performing the conditions and covenants herein contained,
         shall and may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises for the Term

         25.   If Tenant remains in possession after the Expiration Date,
         without Landlord's acquiescence and without any distinct agreement
         between the parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at will, and such tenancy
         shall be subject to all the provisions hereof, except that the monthly
         portion of the base Rent then in effect shall be 150% for the entire
         hold-over period and there shall be no renewal of this Lease by
         operation of law. Tenant shall also be responsible to Landlord for all
         damage which Landlord shall suffer by reason of Tenant remaining in
         possession after the Expiration date, and Tenant hereby indemnifies
         Landlord against all claims made by any succeeding tenant against
         Landlord resulting from delays by Landlord in delivering possession of
         Premises to such succeeding tenant. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
         construed as a consent by Landlord to the possession of Premises by
         Tenant after the Expiration Date.

NO WAIVER
OR CHANGES

         26.   The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to
         insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of
         this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations herein or hereafter
         adopted by Landlord, shall not prevent a subsequent act or omission,
         which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all
         the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord
         of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease
         shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease
         shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver be
         in writing signed by Landlord. No act or thing done by Landlord or
         Landlord's agent during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a
         surrender of the Premises and no agreement to accept such surrender
         shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord.

         27.   The marginal notations in this Lease are included for convenience

         given, if delivered personally, upon delivery thereof, and if mailed,
         upon the mailing thereof.

         B.    Tenant hereby appoints as its agents to receive all dispossessory
         or distraint proceedings, the person occupying Premises, and if there
         is no person occupying same, then such service may be made by service

HEIRS AND ASSIGNS

         31.   The provisions of this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be
         binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and their respective successors,
         heirs, legal representatives and assigns; it being understood that the
         term "Landlord", as used in this Lease, means only the owner, or the
         lessee for the time being of the land and Building of which Premises
         are a part, so that in the event of any sale or sales of said property
         or any lease thereof, the Landlord named herein shall be and hereby is
         entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of
         Landlord hereunder accruing thereafter, and it shall be deemed without
         further agreement that the purchaser, or the lessee, as the case may
         be, has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and
         obligations of Landlord hereunder during the period such party has
         possession of the land and Building. Neither the shareholders,
         directors or officers of Landlord (collectively, the "Parties") shall
         be liable to the performance of Landlord's obligations under this
         lease. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord to enforce Landlord's
         obligations hereunder and shall not seek any damages against any of the
         Parties. The liability of Landlord for Landlord's obligations under
         this Lease shall not exceed and shall be limited to the value of
         Landlord's assets and Tenant shall not look to the property or assets
         of any of the Parties in seeking to enforce Landlord's obligations
         under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord's failure to
         perform such obligations. Should the land and the entire Building be
         served as to ownership by sale and/or lease, then the owner of the
         entire Building or lessee of the entire building has the right to lease
         space in the Building to tenants shall be deemed the "Landlord". Tenant
         shall be bound to any succeeding landlord for all the terms, covenants
         and conditions hereof and shall execute any attornment, agreement not
         in conflict herewith at the request of any succeeding landlord.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT
AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

         32.A. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto
         and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or
         otherwise, between the Landlord and Tenant not embodied herein, shall
         be of any force or effect.

         B.    Any agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be
         ineffective to modify, release or otherwise affect this Lease, in whole
         or in part, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by both
         parties.

LEGAL
CONSTRUCTION

         33.   If any of the provisions of this Lease shall be held to be
         invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstance
         shall not affect any other provision. This Lease shall be construed as
         if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
         herein.

BROKER

         34.   Tenant represents that, except for Eric Lemboris & Associates
         ("Broker"), Tenant has not dealt with any real estate broker, sales
         person, or finder in connection with this Lease, and no other real
         estate broker initiated or participated in the negotiation of this

                                       14
<PAGE>   18

         Lease, or showed the Premises to Tenant. Tenant agrees to indemnify and
         hold Landlord harmless from and against any liabilities and claims for
         commissions and fees arising out of a breach of the foregoing
         representation. Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of all
         commissions to Broker, and shall pay said leasing commissions pursuant
         to the terms of a separate agreement with Broker.

SECURITY

         35. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of $5,094.52 ("Deposit")
         as security for the performance of tenant's obligations in this Lease,
         which sum shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, within thirty
         (30) days after the 61st month of occupancy, provided Tenant has fully
         performed hereunder. If Tenant defaults in any of the provisions of
         this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, apply all or
         part of the Deposit for the payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent
         or for any sum which Landlord may spend or be required to spend because
         of Tenant's default, including any damages or deficiency in reletting
         of Premises whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after
         summary proceedings or re-entry by Landlord. Landlord shall have the
         right to apply any part of the Deposit to cure any default of Tenant
         and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, deposit with
         Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord shall have the full
         Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. In the event of a sale of
         Building or a lease of the Building, subject to this Lease, Landlord
         shall be released from all liability for the return of the Deposit and
         Tenant shall look to the new landlord for the return of the Deposit.
         This provision shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the
         deposit to a new landlord. The Deposit shall not be assigned or
         encumbered by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord and such
         assignment or encumbrance without Landlord's consent shall be void.

ATTORNEY'S
FEES

         36. In the event Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the
         provisions of this Lease and Landlord places the enforcement of this
         Lease, or any part hereof, or the collection of any rent due, or to
         become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession of Premises in the
         hands of an attorney, or files suit upon the same, or in the event
         Tenant shall make an unsuccessful claim against Landlord for alleged
         breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other cause of action
         relating to or arising out of this Lease, and Landlord shall incur
         legal fees in defense of said claim, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's
         reasonable attorney's fees.

PARTNERSHIP
TENANT

         37. If Tenant is a partnership (or is comprised of two (2) or more
         persons, individually and as co-partners of a partnership) or if
         Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be assigned to a partnership (or
         to two (2) or more persons, individually and as co-partners of a
         partnership) pursuant to Paragraph 18 (any such partnership and such
         persons are referred to in this Paragraph 37 as "Partnership Tenant"),
         the following provisions shall apply: (i) the liability of each of the
         parties comprising Partnership Tenant shall be joint and

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

         several, and (ii) each of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant
         hereby consents in advance to, and agrees to be bound by, any written
         instrument which may hereafter be executed, changing, modifying or
         discharging this Lease, in whole or part, or surrendering all or any
         part of the Premises to Landlord, and by any notices, demands, requests
         or other communications which may hereafter be given by Partnership
         Tenant or by any of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant, and
         (iii) any bills, statements, notices, demands, requests or other
         communications given or rendered to Partnership Tenant and to all such
         parties shall be binding upon Partnership Tenant and all such parties,
         and (iv) if Partnership Tenant shall admit new partners, all of such
         new partners shall by their admission to Partnership Tenant, be deemed
         to have assumed performance of all of the terms, covenants and
         conditions of this Lease on tenant's part to be observed and performed,
         and (v) Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the
         admission of any such new partners, and upon demand of Landlord, shall
         cause each such new partner to execute and deliver to Landlord an

         all assume performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of
         this Lease on tenant's part to be observed and performed (but neither
         Landlord's failure to request any such agreement nor the failure of any
         such new partner to execute or deliver any such agreement to Landlord
         shall vitiate the provision of subdivision (iv) of this Paragraph 37.

         this Lease for one (1) additional term of ten (10) years. The rental
         rate for the renewal period will be determined by the then existing
         market conditions but in no event shall it be less than the escalated

         month shall be subject to the additional payment of interest at the
         annual rate of ten percent (10%). Such interest shall be computed from
         the first day of each month for each unpaid monthly rental installment
         until paid in full. Any waiver of the collection of said service charge
         or said interest charge shall not prohibit the Landlord from collecting
         of such charges at some future date. All waivers of such charges shall
         be given by Landlord in writing to be effective.

         38.I. RELOCATION AND TERMINATION: Landlord reserves the right, upon

         costs of replacing Tenant's stationary and business cards with the same

         Landlord's relocation of Tenant. Upon the ninetieth (90) day after the
         exercise of Landlord's election to relocate the Premises, this lease
         shall be deemed to have been amended, and the substituted space shall
         for all purposes be the demised Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall
         cooperate in good faith in effecting such relocation as expeditiously
         as possible.

         38.J. COMMON AREAS: Landlord agrees to buildout a corridor and elevator
         lobby using building standard finishes on the 14th floor at its own

                                   EXHIBIT B-1

                              EXPANSION ALTERATIONS

1.       Landlord's Work. Landlord shall provide design and construction of the
work described in Schedule I to be attached hereto ("Landlord's Work"). As
further provided herein, Tenant shall be responsible for the incremental cost of
Landlord's Work in excess of the Maximum TI Allowance (defined below). The
certificate of Landlord's space planner that the work to be done by Landlord
pursuant to this Exhibit B-1 has been substantially completed shall be adequate
evidence that the Premises has been completed in accordance with the
requirements of the Lease and that possession thereof has been deemed delivered
to Tenant, for all purposes of the Lease, including the commencement of the
payment of rent.

2.       Cost and Allowance.

         2.1 Prior to commencing any of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall submit
to Tenant for Tenant's approval a written estimate of the cost of Landlord's
Work (an "Estimate"). Landlord may require Tenant to deposit that amount of the
amount of the Estimate which exceeds the Maximum TI Allowance with Landlord
within five (5) days after Landlord's written request therefor. Such deposit
shall be held as security for the payment of, and shall be credited, without
interest, against the sums payable by Tenant under this Lease.

         2.2 This Lease and the rental rates provided for herein are premised on
a total cost of Landlord's Work not to exceed $16.50 per square foot, or
$75,289.50 ("Maximum TI Allowance"). The "cost of Landlord's Work" includes,
without limitation:

             2.2.1 All costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord
pertaining to Landlord's Work, including, but not limited to, costs charged by
contractors, subcontractors and general and other conditions costs and expenses
in connection with preparation of the Premises for occupancy;

             2.2.2 All costs and expenses of preparation of the plans for such
construction, and site inspection and contract administration of Landlord's
consulting space planners and/or engineers;

             2.2.3 All costs of permits, licenses and other approvals required
for the performance of Landlord's Work; and

             2.2.4 A construction management fee to Landlord of five percent
(5%) of the total of all such costs under the foregoing Paragraphs 2.2.1, 2.2.2
and 2.2.3.

         2.3 If the total cost of Landlord's Work exceeds the Maximum TI
Allowance, the entire amount of such excess shall be borne by Tenant and shall
be paid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand as additional rent under the Lease.

<PAGE>   4

3.       Miscellaneous.

         3.1 Except as set forth in this Exhibit B-1, Landlord has no other
agreement with Tenant and has no obligation to do any work with respect to the
Premises. Any other work in the Premises which may be permitted by Landlord
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease shall be done at Tenant's sole
cost and expense and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease.

         3.2 All rights and remedies of Landlord herein created or otherwise
existing at law or equity are cumulative, and the exercise of one or more such
rights or remedies shall not be deemed to exclude or waive the right to the
exercise of any other rights or remedies. All such rights and remedies may be
exercised and enforced concurrently and whenever and as often as deemed
desirable.

         3.3 This Exhibit B-1 shall not be deemed applicable to any additional
space added to the original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether
by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original
Premises or any additions thereto in the event of a renewal or extension of the
original term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise.

4.       Recapture of Concessions. Tenant understands and agrees that in
entering into this Lease, Landlord is relying upon receipt of all the base rent
to become due with respect to all of the Leased Premises over the full term of
this Lease for amortization, including an interest factor of ten (10%) per annum
(the "Interest Rate") of the Concession Amount. For purposes hereof, the
"Concession Amount" shall be defined as the aggregate of the Maximum TI
Allowance and the brokers' commissions becoming due by reason of this Lease.

Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of
the Leased Premises leased hereunder shall be terminated as of any date
("Termination Date") prior to the expiration of the full Term hereof by reason
of a default of Tenant, there shall be due and owing to Landlord as of the day
prior to the Termination Date, as rent in addition to all other amounts owed by
Tenant as of such Date, the amount ("Unamortized Amount") of the Concession
Amount determined as set forth below; provided, however, that in the event that
such amounts are recovered by Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this
Lease, Landlord agrees that is shall not attempt to recover such amounts
pursuant to this paragraph.

For the purposes hereof, the Unamortized Amount shall be determined in the same
manner as the remaining principal balance of a mortgage with the Interest Rate
payable in level payments over the same full term of the Lease would be
determined; to illustrate, according to a standard mortgage amortization table
the principal amount outstanding at the end of the fifth year of a loan of
$1,000.000 payable in level payments with interest at 8% over ten years will be
$598.00 assuming all payments to that point are made as due.
