                          AT WILL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                          ----------------------------

          This  At  Will  Employment  Agreement  (this  "Agreement") is made and
entered  into  as  of _________________ by and between VSource, Inc. ("VSource")
and Michael Shirman ("Employee").  In consideration of the promises set forth in
this  Agreement,  VSource  and  Employee  agree  as  follows:

     1.     Employment.  VSource  hereby  employs  Employee and Employee accepts
            ----------
employment from VSource as Chief Technology Officer, on the terms and subject to
conditions  the  set  forth  in  this  Agreement.

     2.     Duties  and  Responsibilities.  Employee shall perform the following
            -----------------------------
specific duties on behalf of VSource:   Create and manage an "internet software"
development  organization that is capable of creating a robust scalable product;
responsible  for  product  architecture  and  design;  accountability to product
development  schedules;  and he shall perform such other duties as are necessary
to  carry  out the above enumerated duties or as may be reasonably designated by
the  President  from time to time. Employee shall devote his full time, efforts,
abilities,  and  energies  to  VSource's  business.  Employee shall use his best
efforts,  skill,  and  abilities to promote the general welfare and interests of
VSource,  and  any  related  enterprises  of  VSource.  Employee  shall loyally,
conscientiously,  and  professionally  do  and  perform  all  duties  and
responsibilities  of  Employee's  position,  as  well  as  any  other duties and
responsibilities  as  shall be reasonably assigned by VSource from time to time.
Employee  shall  strictly  adhere  to  and  obey  all  VSource  rules, policies,
procedures,  regulations and guidelines now in effect, including but not limited
to  those  contained  in  VSource's  Employee  Handbook  (as  they  may apply to
Employee),  as  well  any  others  that VSource may establish from time to time.

          During  the  period  of  employment,  Employee  shall  not directly or
indirectly render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature,
whether  for  compensation  or otherwise, to any person or business entity which
directly  or  indirectly  competes  with  VSource,  or  divert  any  business
opportunities  from  VSource  to  Employee  or  to  any other person or business
entity,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of the President of the VSource.

          Employee shall not at any time enter into any contract with any person
or business entity that will purportedly bind VSource, without the prior written
authorization  of  either  the  President  of  VSource  or whoever the President
designates  to  give  such  authorization.

          Employee  shall indemnify and hold VSource harmless from all liability
for  loss,  damage, or injury to persons or business entities resulting from the
willful  misconduct  and/or  gross  negligence  of  Employee.  VSource  shall

                                        1
<PAGE>
indemnify,  protect,  defend  and  hold Employee harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted  by  law,  for,  from  and  against any and all losses, claims, costs,
expenses,  damages,  liabilities  or  actions  related  to  or  arising  out  of
Employee's  employment with and services as an officer of VSource (except to the
extent  that  Employee  is  required  to indemnify VSource with respect thereto,
pursuant  to  the  preceding  sentence).

               Employee  represents that Employee did not bring any confidential
information  belonging  to  a  former  employer  (other  than Online Transaction
Technologies,  Inc.)  to VSource, and agrees that Employee will not use any such
confidential  information  while  employed  by  VSource.

     3.     Compensation.  VSource shall pay Employee, and Employee shall accept
            ------------
from VSource as full payment for the services rendered by Employee, compensation
at the rate of one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($125,000) per year,
which shall be payable semi-monthly.  In addition, Employee shall be entitled to
a bonus of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in respect of the fiscal year ending
January 31, 2001, which bonus shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the
date hereof; provided, that if Employee's employment with VSource terminates for
any  reason  (other than due to a termination by VSource without cause) prior to
January  31, 2001, Employee shall repay such amount to VSource upon termination.

     4.     Benefits.  Employee  shall  be entitled to participate in all of the
            --------
employee  benefit  programs (including, without limitation, medical coverage for
Employee  and  his dependants) for which other officers of VSource are generally
eligible  at  a  level  commensurate  with  Employee's  position  at  VSource.

     5.     Expenses.  During the Term, VSource shall reimburse Employee for any
            --------
expenses  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in furtherance of his duties hereunder,
including,  without  limitation,  travel,  meals,  and  accommodations,  and
memberships  in  and activities regarding professional associations pertinent to
VSource, upon submission of vouchers and or receipts and in compliance with such
rules  and  policies  relating thereto, including prior approval, as VSource may
from  time  to  time  adopt.

     6.     Directors and Officers Insurance. At all times while Employee serves
            ---------------------------------
as officer of VSource, VSource  will  maintain  directors and officers liability
insurance  at  levels  established  by  its  board  of  directors.

     7.     Stock  Options. VSource shall grant to Employee, effective as of the
            --------------
date  hereof, a non-qualified stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of VSource
common stock at an exercise price of $6.41 per share. Such stock option shall be
unvested  during the first twelve months following the grant date and shall vest
50,000  shares  on  the  first  day thereafter and thereafter in equal 4,166 2/3
shares  increments  over  the  next  twelve  months.  Such stock option shall be
issued  under,  and  shall  be subject to the terms and conditions of, VSource's
2000  Stock  Option  Plan.

     8.     Non-Disclosure  of  Confidential  Information.  During the course of
            ---------------------------------------------
employment, VSource may disclose to Employee, or Employee may learn, have access
to,  or  become  aware  of,  valuable  confidential  information  ("Confidential
Information")  concerning  VSource's  products,  services,  methods  of  doing

                                        2
<PAGE>
business,  and  customers,  including  but  not  limited  to: customer names and
addresses,  customer  preferences,  pricing  information,  marketing techniques,
strategies and programs, selling techniques, expiration dates of agreements with
customers,  product  costs,  operations  costs, methods of operation, accounting
procedures,  financial  statements  and information, labor relations strategies,
employee  compensation,  new materials research, pending projects and proposals,
proprietary  production  processes,  inventions,  research  and  development
strategies,  scientific  data,  formulas  and prototypes, technological data and
prototypes,  product  designs,  data, specifications, processes and methodology,
product  know  how, source code listings, programmer's notes, flow charts, logic
diagrams, software programs, experiments, and any other confidential information
of  any  kind,  nature or description, tangible or intangible, in whatever form,
relating  to  VSource.  Employee  acknowledges  and agrees that the Confidential
Information is proprietary, a valuable trade secret of VSource, and is and shall
remain  the  sole  and  exclusive  property  of  VSource.  Employee  further
acknowledges  and  agrees that if any Confidential Information were disclosed to
or  used  by  competitors or other third parties that it could cause substantial
and  irreparable  damage and injury to the business, reputation and good will of
VSource.

          Employee  will  not  at  any time, while employed by VSource or at any
time  thereafter,  use,  divulge,  disclose  or  communicate, either directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information to any person
or  business  entity,  or  remove  from the premises of VSource any Confidential
Information  in  whatever  form,  without the prior written authorization of the
President  of  VSource.

     9.     Non-Competition.  Employee  agrees  that  while  employed by VSource
            ---------------
Employee  will  not,  directly or indirectly, own an interest in, operate, join,
control,  participate  in,  or  be  an  officer,  director,  agent,  independent
contractor,  partner, shareholder, or principal of any person or business entity
which  directly  or  indirectly  competes  with  VSource.  Nothing  herein shall
prohibit  Employee from holding or being beneficially interested in less than 5%
of any single class of shares or securities of a corporation which are traded on
a  recognized  public  stock  exchange.

          Employee  agrees that while employed by VSource, Employee will not (1)
undertake  planning of or organization of any business activity competitive with
VSource's  business  or  combine  or  conspire with other employees or any third
party  for the purpose of organizing any such competitive business activity, (2)
interfere with or disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, any business
relationship,  contractual  or  otherwise,  between VSource and any other party,
including  clients  or  prospective  clients,  suppliers, agents or employees of
VSource,  and/or  (3)  solicit,  induce  or  influence,  or  seek  to  induce or
influence,  any  customer  or prospective customer of VSource for the purpose of
promoting or selling any products or services competitive with those of VSource,
directly  or  indirectly,  or  by  action  in  concert  with  others.

          Employee  agrees  that  after  Employee's  employment  with  VSource
terminates,  Employee will not at any time engage in any unfair competition with
VSource,  including but not limited to (1) the use or disclosure of Confidential
Information  to  any  person  or  business  entity  which directly or indirectly
competes with VSource, and (2) the use or disclosure of Confidential Information

                                        3
<PAGE>
to  directly  or indirectly or by action in concert with others, solicit, induce
or  influence,  or  seek  to  induce  or  influence, any customer or prospective
customer  of  VSource  for  the  purpose of promoting or selling any products or
services  competitive  with  those  of  VSource.

     10.     Non-Solicitation.  Employee  further  agrees that while employed by
             ----------------
VSource,  or  for  a  period  of  one  (1) year after Employee's separation from
VSource,  Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit, induce or influence,
or  seek  to  induce  or  influence,  any  person  who  is engaged as a regular,
temporary,  introductory, full-time or part-time employee, agent, or independent
contractor  by  VSource  to  terminate  his or her employment or engagement with
VSource  for  any  reason.

     11.     Assignment  of Invention Rights.  Employee promises and agrees that
             -------------------------------
Employee  will  promptly  and fully disclose to VSource all inventions, designs,
improvements,  discoveries,  ideas, concepts or themes that relate in any way or
are  similar  to  VSource's  business,  products  or  services  ("Intellectual
Properties")  that  Employee  conceives,  makes, formulates, develops, writes or
prepares  during  his  employment  with  VSource, whether on or off the job, and
whether  individually  or jointly in collaboration with others.  Employee hereby
assigns  to  VSource  any  rights  which  Employee  may have in any Intellectual
Properties  conceived,  made,  formulated,  developed,  written  or  prepared by
Employee  while  employed  by  VSource,  including but not limited to any patent
rights  and  copyrights  applicable  to  any  of  the  Intellectual  Properties,
provided,  however,  that  such assignment does not apply to any invention which
qualifies  fully  under  the  provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor
Code,  which  states:  "Any  provision in an employment agreement which provides
that  an  employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in
an  invention  to  his  or  her  employer  shall  not apply to an invention that
Employee  developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's
equipment,  supplies,  facilities,  or trade secret information except for those
inventions  that  either  (1)  relate  at the time of conception or reduction to
practice  of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer, or (2) result from any work
performed  by  Employee  for  the  employer."

          Employee  agrees  that any and all Intellectual Properties, except for
those inventions that qualify fully under Section 2870, that Employee conceives,
makes,  formulates,  develops,  writes,  or  prepares while employed by VSource,
either individually or jointly in collaboration with others, shall belong to and
be  the  sole  and  exclusive  property  of VSource.  Employee further agrees to
cooperate  with  VSource  in  obtaining  patents  or  copyrights  on  all  such
Intellectual  Properties that are patentable or copyrightable, and shall execute
any  document  necessary  to  obtain  patent  or copyright registration, to vest
VSource  with  full  and exclusive title, and to protect against infringement by
others.  Employee  will  make  every  reasonable attempt to insure that any work
performed  by Employee for VSource does not infringe upon any patent, trademark,
copyright  or  any  intellectual  property  interest  of  any  third  party.

     12.     Enforcement.  Employee  agrees  that if, at the time of enforcement
             -----------
of Section 8, 9, 10 or 11, a court holds that any restriction stated in any such
Section  is  unreasonable  under  circumstances  then existing, then the maximum
period,  scope  or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be
substituted  for  the stated period, scope or area.  Because Employee's services
are  unique  and  because  of  Employee's  access  to  Confidential Information,

                                        4
<PAGE>
Employee  agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach
of  Section  8,  9  10 or 11.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach  of  Section,  8  9,10 or 11 VSource may, in addition to other rights and
remedies  existing  in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
for  specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce,
or  prevent  any  violations  of, the provisions of Section 8 9,10 or 11 without
posting  a  bond  or  other  security.

     13.     Termination  At  Will.  EMPLOYEE'S  EMPLOYMENT  WITH VSOURCE CAN BE
             ---------------------
TERMINATED  AT  WILL,  WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AT ANY
TIME,  EITHER  AT  THE  OPTION  OF  EMPLOYEE  OR  VSOURCE.  NO  EMPLOYEE  OR
REPRESENTATIVE  OF  VSOURCE  HAS  THE AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THE AT WILL EMPLOYMENT
POLICY  EXCEPT FOR THE PRESIDENT OF VSOURCE, AND ANY SUCH MODIFICATION TO THE AT
WILL  EMPLOYMENT  POLICY  MUST BE IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY BOTH EMPLOYEE
AND  THE  PRESIDENT  OF  VSOURCE.  THE  PARTIES  AGREE  THAT THIS CONSTITUTES AN
INTEGRATED  AGREEMENT  WITH  RESPECT  TO  THE  AT  WILL NATURE OF THE EMPLOYMENT
RELATIONSHIP,  AND THERE ARE NOT NOW AND MAY NOT BE IN THE FUTURE ANY IMPLIED OR
ORAL AGREEMENTS THAT IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE AT WILL EMPLOYMENT POLICY.  EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY  PROVIDED  BY  SECTION 14 OR AS REQUIRED BY LAW, VSOURCE SHALL HAVE NO
OBLIGATIONS  WHATSOEVER  TO  EMPLOYEE  UPON  THE  TERMINATION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT.

     14.     Severance.  If  VSource  terminates  Employee's  employment without
             ---------
cause,  VSource  shall  continue to pay to Employee, as a severance payment, the
greater  of  (i) his base salary (as in effect but for such termination) through
the  first  anniversary  of  the date hereof (but only if the termination occurs
prior  to such first anniversary), or (ii) his base salary (as in effect but for
such  termination)  for  a  period  of  twelve weeks following such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall VSource be required to make any
severance  payment  unless and until Employee executes and delivers to VSource a
release  in  the  form  of  Exhibit  A  hereto  and  seven (7) days have elapsed
                            ----------
following  such  execution  and  delivery  without revocation of such release by
Employee.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the rights and entitlements set
forth  in this Section 14 are his exclusive rights and entitlements from VSource
upon  the  termination  of  Employee's  employment  for  cause.

          As  used  in  this  Agreement,  "cause"  means (i) the commission of a
felony,  (ii)  the  commission  of  any act or an omission involving dishonesty,
disloyalty  or  fraud  with  respect  to VSource, (iii) conduct tending to bring
VSource  into  substantial  public  disgrace  or disrepute, (iv) disobedience of
lawful  orders  or  directives  of  the President or the Board of Directors, (v)
gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct  in  the performance of his duties to
VSource,  (vi)  substantial  underperformance  in  carrying  out  his  duties to
VSource,  as  determined  by the Board of Directors of VSource in good faith, or
(vii)  a  material  breach  of  any  term  contained  herein.  VSource's  lawful
termination  of  Employee  due  to a disability shall not constitute termination
without  cause.

                                        5
<PAGE>
     15.     Return  of Confidential Information And Property.  Upon termination
             ------------------------------------------------
of  employment  with  VSource  or  when  requested by VSource at any other time,
Employee  shall  promptly  return  to  VSource  all  Confidential Information in
whatever form, as well as any other property of VSource, which is or has been in
Employee's  possession  or  under  Employee's  control.

     16.     Lock-Up. Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, encumber
             -------
or  in any other manner transfer (or enter into an agreement to transfer) Merger
Shares (as defined below) during the period described in the following paragraph
(the  "Lock-Up  Restriction"),  except  as  set  forth  therein  (and subject to
compliance  with  applicable  legal  and all other requirements for transferring
shares). The Lock-Up Restriction includes a prohibition on Employee, directly or
indirectly,  entering  into  any  hedging, short sale or other transaction which
could  require  Employee  to transfer Merger Shares.  Employee acknowledges that
the  Lock-Up  Restriction shall apply notwithstanding the fact that Employee may
have  certain  registration  rights  under  that  certain  Registration  Rights
Agreement  dated as of the date hereof by and among VSource and the shareholders
of  Online Transaction Technologies, Inc., and accordingly Employee acknowledges
and agrees that he shall not be entitled to exercise such registration rights to
the  extent  the  Lock-Up  Restriction  is  in  effect.

          The  Lock-Up Restriction shall be in effect until the end of the sixth
month  following the first anniversary of the date hereof.  However, the Lock-Up
Restriction  shall  automatically  terminate  if Employee is employed by VSource
through  the  first  6 months of the date hereof.  The Lock-Up Restriction shall
automatically terminate as to all Merger Shares if prior to the end of the sixth
month  period  (i)  VSource  terminates  Employee without cause, or (ii) VSource
merges  into  or consolidates with any corporation or other entity, or transfers
all  or  substantially all of its assets.  VSource may direct its transfer agent
to  decline to execute any transfer of Merger Shares which appears to contravene
the  Lock-Up  Restriction,  and  VSource  and  transfer agent shall not have any
liability  to  any  person for declining to execute any such transfer based on a
good  faith  belief  that  the  transfer  contravenes  the  Lock-Up Restriction.
Employee  agrees  that  all Merger Shares shall be registered in his name during
the  term  of  the  Lock-Up Restriction and that VSource shall have the right to
direct  its  transfer  agent  to  place a restrictive legend on the certificates
representing the Merger Shares, which legend will read substantially as follows:

     THESE  SECURITIES  ARE  SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN AN
     EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT DATED AS OF ______________, BETWEEN VSOURCE, INC. AND
     THE  REGISTERED  HOLDER.

          Upon  a  partial  or  complete termination of the Lock-Up Restriction,
VSource,  shall, at the request of Employee, direct its transfer agent to remove
such legend from the certificates representing the Mergers Shares that have been
released  from  the  Lock-Up  Restriction.  VSource  shall  bear the cost of the
removal  of  such  legend.

          As used in this Agreement, the "Merger Shares" means (i) the shares of
capital stock of VSource that Employee acquires (or has the right to acquire) in
connection with the merger of Online Transaction Technologies, Inc. with VSource
being  consummated  on  or  about  the date hereof, and (ii) any other shares of
capital stock issued as a stock split or stock dividend in respect of the shares
referred  to  in  clause  (i).

                                        6
<PAGE>
     17.     Arbitration.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary (but
             -----------
except  in the case of an action for specific performance or injunctive relief),
if  there  shall  be  a  dispute  between VSource and Employee arising out of or
relating  to  this  Agreement  (including  without  limitation  the  issue  of
arbitrability),  the  parties agree that such dispute shall be resolved by final
and  binding  arbitration  in  Los Angeles, California, administered by Judicial
Arbitration  & Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"), in accordance with JAMS' rules
of practice then in effect or such other procedures as the parties may agree to.
Each  party  hereby irrevocably consents and submits to personal jurisdiction in
the  State  of  California  for any arbitration contemplated by this Section 15.
Any  award  issued  as  a  result of such arbitration shall be final and binding
between  the  parties  thereto,  and  shall  be  enforceable by any court having
jurisdiction  over  the  party against whom enforcement is sought.  The fees and
expenses  of  such  arbitration  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) or any
action  to enforce an arbitration award shall be paid by the party that does not
prevail  in  such  arbitration.

     18.     Assignment.  VSource  shall have the right, but not the obligation,
             ----------
to  assign  this  Agreement, as well as its rights and obligations hereunder, to
any  corporation  or other entity with or into which VSource may hereafter merge
or  consolidate or to which VSource may transfer all or substantially all of its
assets  provided  such  corporation  or  other  entity  assumes all of VSource's
obligations  hereunder.  Employee  cannot  assign this Agreement, in whole or in
part,  because  it  is  a  contract  for  personal  services.

     19.     Severability.  In  the event that any one or more of the provisions
             ------------
of  this  Agreement  shall  be  held  invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in any
respect,  by  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way
be  affected  thereby.

     20.     Waivers.  Either  party's  failure  to  enforce  any  provision  or
             -------
provisions  of  this  Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of
any  such  provision  or  provisions,  or  prevent  that  party  thereafter from
enforcing  each  and  every  other provision of this Agreement.  A waiver of any
provision  of this Agreement shall not be valid unless such waiver is in writing
and  signed  by  the  party to be charged, and no waiver of any provision hereof
shall be deemed or construed as a waiver of the same or any different provisions
in  the  future.

     21.     Taxes.  To  the extent that any taxes become payable by Employee by
             -----
virtue  of  any payments made or benefits conferred hereunder, VSource shall not
be  liable  to  pay  or obligated to reimburse Employee for any such taxes or to
make any adjustment under this Agreement.  Any payments otherwise due under this
Agreement  to Employee shall be reduced by any required withholding for Federal,
state  and/or  local  taxes  and  other  appropriate  payroll  deductions.

                                        7
<PAGE>
     22.     Voluntary  Agreement.  The parties represent that they have had the
             --------------------
opportunity  to  consult  legal  counsel  of my own choosing with respect to the
execution and legal effect of this Agreement, and have not relied upon any other
representations  or  warranties  of  any  other  party  hereto.  The  parties
acknowledge that they have full authority to enter into this Agreement and to be
bound  by it, and that they have read and fully understand the provisions of the
Agreement  and  voluntarily choose to sign it. The parties acknowledge that they
are  sophisticated  and  have  carefully negotiated the provisions hereof.  As a
consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of California Civil
Code  Section  1654  and similar laws or rules relating to the interpretation of
contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this
Agreement  and  therefore  waive  their  effects.

     23.     Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
             -----------------
and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and  supersedes  any  and  all other agreements, communications, understandings,
promises,  stipulations  and  arrangements,  whether oral or written, express or
implied,  between  the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
including  but not limited to any implied-in-law or implied-in-fact covenants or
duties  relating  to employment or the termination of employment. This Agreement
cannot  be  changed, modified or terminated except in writing and signed by both
Employee  and  the  President  of  VSource.

     24.     Notices.  All  notices,  requests, demands and other communications
             -------
required  or  permitted  to  be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed  to  have been duly given (i) upon receipt, if delivered personally, (ii)
upon  confirmation of receipt, if given by electronic facsimile and (iii) on the
third  business  day  following mailing, if mailed first-class, postage prepaid,
registered  or  certified mail as follows: (A) If to VSource, VSource, Inc., 740
Ralston,  Suite  110,  Ventura,  California  93003,  Facsimile:  (805) 676-1193,

Hopkins  Ave.,  Hermosa  Beach,  CA  90254.  Any  party  may  by notice given in
accordance  with this Section 22 to the other party designate another address or
person  for  receipt  of  notices  hereunder.

     25.     Survival.  Sections  6 through 25 will survive and continue in full
             --------
force  in  accordance  with  their  terms  notwithstanding  any  termination  of
employment.

     26.     Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may  be  executed by the parties in
             ------------

                                GENERAL RELEASE

          This  General Release ("Release") is executed and delivered by Michael
Shirman  ("Employee")  to  and  for  the  benefit  of VSource, Inc. ("Company").

          Company  has  agreed  to  pay  certain  severance payments to Employee
pursuant  to  the  terms  of  that  certain  Employment  Agreement  dated  as of
_________________,  by  and  between  Employee  and  Company  (the  "Employment
Agreement").

          In  consideration  of  the  above,  the  sufficiency of which Employee
hereby  acknowledges,  Employee  hereby  agrees  not  to sue and fully, finally,
completely  and  generally  releases,  absolves  and  discharges  Company,  its
shareholders, predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, parents, related companies
and  business  concerns,  affiliates,  partners,  trustees, directors, officers,
agents,  attorneys,  servants,  representatives and employees, past and present,
and  each of them (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Releasees") from any
and  all  claims,  demands,  liens,  agreements,  contracts, covenants, actions,
suits,  causes  of  action,  grievances,  arbitrations,  unfair  labor  practice
charges, wages, vacation payments, severance payments, obligations, commissions,
overtime  payments,  Workers Compensation claims, debts, profit sharing or bonus
claims, expenses, damages, judgments, orders and/or liabilities of whatever kind
or  nature  in  law,  equity  or otherwise, whether known or unknown to Employee
which  Employee  now  owns  or holds or has at any time owned or held as against
Releasees, or any of them ("Claims"), including specifically but not exclusively
and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all Claims arising
out  of  or  in any way connected to Employee's employment with or separation of
employment  from  Company including any Claims based on contract, tort, wrongful
discharge,  fraud,  breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  attorneys'  fees  and  costs,
discrimination  in employment, any and all acts or omissions in contravention of
any  federal  or state laws or statutes (including but not limited to federal or
state securities laws, the California Unfair Practices Act or any similar act in
any other state and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), and
any  right  to  recovery  based  on  state or federal age, sex, pregnancy, race,
color,  national  origin,  marital status, religion, veteran status, disability,
sexual  orientation,  medical  condition,  union  affiliation  or  other
anti-discrimination  laws,  including,  without  limitation,  Title VII, the Age
Discrimination  in  Employment  Act,  the  Americans  with Disabilities Act, the
National  Labor  Relations  Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act,
and  Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, all as amended, whether such claim be
based  upon  an  action filed by employee or by a governmental agency; provided,
however, that Employee is not hereby releasing any Claims he has against Company
under  the express terms of the Employment Agreement or any written stock option
agreement  between  Company  and  Employee.

          Employee acknowledges and agrees that neither anything in this Release
nor  the offer, execution, delivery, or acceptance thereof shall be construed as
an admission by Company of any kind, and this Release shall not be admissible as
evidence  in  any  proceeding  except  to  enforce  this  Release.

                                       11

          Employee  acknowledges Employee may hereafter discover facts different
from,  or  in  addition to, those Employee now knows or believes to be true with
respect  to  the  Claims  released,  and  agrees the release herein shall be and
remain  in  effect  in  all respects as a complete and general release as to all
matters released herein, notwithstanding any such different or additional facts.
Employee  hereby  expressly  waives  and  relinquishes  all  rights and benefits
afforded  by  Section  1542  of the Civil Code of the State of California, which
states  as  follows:

          A  general  release  does not extend to claims which the creditor does
          not  know  or  suspect  to  exist  in  his or her favor at the time of
          executing  the  release,  which  if  known by him must have materially
          affected  his  or  her  settlement  with  the  debtor.

          If  any  provision  of  this  Release  or  application thereof is held
invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the
Release  which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
To  this end, the provisions of this Release are severable.  Employee represents
and warrants Employee has not heretofore assigned or transferred or purported to
assign or transfer to any person, firm or corporation any Claim herein released.

          NOTE:  THE  FOLLOWING  PARAGRAPH APPLIES ONLY IF EMPLOYEE IS AGE 40 OR
OLDER

                               NOTICE TO EMPLOYEE

          The  law  requires that Employee be advised and Company hereby advises
Employee  in writing to consult with an attorney and discuss this Release before
executing  it.  Employee  acknowledges Company has provided to Employee at least
21  days  within  which  to  review and consider this Release before signing it.
Should  Employee decide not to use the full 21 days, then Employee knowingly and
voluntarily waives any claims that Employee was not in fact given that period of
time  or  did  not use the entire 21 days to consult an attorney and/or consider
this  Release.  Employee  acknowledges that Employee may revoke this Release for
up  to  seven  calendar  days following Employee's execution of this Release and
that  it  shall  not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period
has  expired.  Employee  further acknowledge and agree that such revocation must
be  in  writing addressed to Company as follows:  VSource, Inc. at its principal
executive  offices, Attn:  President and received by Company as so addressed not
later  than  midnight  on the seventh day following execution of this Release by
Employee.  If  Employee  so  revokes  this  Release,  the  Release  shall not be
effective  or  enforceable and Employee will not receive the monies and benefits
described  above.  If  Employee  does  not revoke this Release in the time frame
specified  above,  the  Release shall become effective at 12:00:01 on the eighth
day  after  it  is  signed  by  Employee.

Dated:  _________________                           "Employee"

expire  on  the  Expiration  Date,  unless  sooner  terminated  pursuant  to the
provisions  of  this  Lease.

4.     POSSESSION  AND  COMMENCEMENT
       -----------------------------

     4.1     Delay  in  Delivery  of  Possession.  If  Landlord  cannot  deliver
             ---------------------------------
possession  of  the  Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date for any reason,
this  Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant
for any Liabilities resulting therefrom, and Tenant waives the provisions of any
Laws to the contrary.  In this case, the Lease Term and the regular installments
of  Monthly  Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant shall not commence until
Landlord  delivers  possession of the Premises.  If Landlord delivers and Tenant
accepts  possession  of  the  Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the Lease
Term  shall commence on the date Tenant accepts possession and all of the terms,
covenants  and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant's
obligation to pay the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent hereunder, shall commence
as  of  such  date.  If  Landlord  delivers possession of the Premises after the
Commencement  Date,  the  Lease  Term  shall commence on the date Tenant accepts
possession  and  the  Expiration  Date  shall be shifted accordingly so that the
Lease  Term  shall  remain  as  set  forth  in  Section  2(g).

     4.2     Delays  Caused by Tenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
             ------------------------
in  Section  4.1, if Landlord's failure to deliver possession of the Premises to
Tenant  on  the  Commencement  Date  results  from  Tenant's  (or its agents' or
employees')  acts  or omissions, the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent payable by
Tenant  shall commence on the date when Landlord would have delivered possession
of  the  Premises  but  for  such  acts  or  omissions.

     4.3     Commencement Date.  The term "Commencement Date" means the date set
             -----------------
forth  in Section 2(c) or the date when the Lease Term commences as described in
Section  4.1  above.  Upon  Landlord's  request,  Tenant  shall  confirm  the
------------
Commencement  Date  if different from the date set forth in Section 2(c) herein,
by  executing  a  confirmation  letter  (similar in substantial  form to the one
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  "B") convenient to memorialize such, but Tenant's
                      ------------
failure  to  do  so  shall  not  affect  the  commencement  of  the  Lease Term.

                                        2

     5.1     Monthly  Rent.  Tenant  shall  pay  to  Landlord,  as  rent for the

                                           ---------
payable  in  advance on or before the first day of the first full calendar month
of  the  Lease  Term  (the "First Month") and on or before the first day of each
successive  calendar  month  thereafter  during  the Lease Term, except that the
Monthly  Rent  for  the  First  Month  (and  for the period {if any} between the
Commencement  Date and the First Month) shall be paid upon the execution of this
Lease.  The  Monthly Rent for any period during the Lease Term which is for less
than  one  (1)  month  shall  be prorated based on a thirty (30) day month.  The
Monthly  Rent and all other rent hereunder shall be paid without prior notice or
demand,  without  deduction  or  offset, in lawful money of the United States of
America which shall be legal tender at the time of payment, at the office of the
Building  or  to another person or at another place as Landlord may from time to
time  designate  in writing.  The term "Additional Rent" means all other amounts
payable  by  Tenant  hereunder  (whether  or not designated as Additional Rent).

6.     SECURITY  DEPOSIT
       -----------------

     Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit
with  Landlord.  The  Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for
the  performance  of all of Tenant's obligations during the Lease Term. Upon any
default  by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to
use,  apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of
any  rent  in  default,  or  any other Liabilities which Landlord may incur as a
result of or in connection with Tenant's default. If any portion of the Security
Deposit  is  so used or applied Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written
demand  therefore, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore
the  Security  Deposit to its previous amount. Landlord shall not be required to
keep  the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not
be entitled to receive interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant complies with
all  of the provisions of this Lease, the unused portion of the Security Deposit
shall  be  returned  to  Tenant (or, at Tenant's option, to the last assignee of
Tenant's  interest  hereunder)  within  thirty (30) days after the expiration or
sooner  termination  of  the  Lease  Term and the surrender of possession of the
Premises  to  Landlord  in  the  conditions  required  hereby.

Comparison  Year,  Tenant  shall pay to Landlord, at the times and in the manner
provided  herein for the payment of Monthly Rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's
Share  of  any  increases  as  shown  by  Landlord's  statement.  If  Landlord's

pay Landlord the amount due for Tenant's Share of any excess of actual Operating
Expenses  over  amount  paid  by  Tenant  to  Landlord  on account of Landlord's
reasonable  estimate  of Operating Expenses.  Tenant shall have thirty (30) days
after  delivery  of  Landlord's  final  statement  to  object  in writing to the
accuracy  of  the  statement.  If Tenant does not object within such thirty (30)
day  period,  Landlord's  final  statement  shall  be  conclusive and binding on
Tenant.  Objections  by  Tenant shall not excuse or abate Tenant's obligation to
make the payments required under this Section 7.4 (or under Section 7.3) pending
                                      -----------           -----------

of  Tenant's  Share of any increases in the Operating Expenses shall be credited
against  the  installments  of  Monthly  Rent  next  coming  due.  However,  any
overpayment  for the Comparison Year in which the Lease Term terminates shall be
retained  by  Landlord  to increase the Security Deposit, and shall be refunded,
used,  applied  or  retained  as  set  forth  in  Article 6  above.

Tenant  in the Premises, or Tenant's Alterations, or Tenant's acts or omissions.
Tenant  shall  obtain  and maintain in effect during the Lease Term all licenses
and  permits  required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business in

judgment  of  any  court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in
any  action  or  proceeding (whether Landlord is a party or not) that Tenant has
violated  any  Laws  shall  be  conclusive  of that fact as between Landlord and
Tenant.

benefits.  Landlord  shall  have  no  duty  toward Tenant, nor shall Landlord be
deemed  to  have  made any representation of warranty to Tenant, with respect to

design  of  the  Alterations, the plans and specifications thereof, or any other
matter  regarding  the  Alterations.

connection  with  the  Alterations  or  any  other  labor, services or materials
provided  for  or  at the request of Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates, or any other
act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates, or persons claiming through or
under  them.  (Such  liens,  security  interests and encumbrances singularly and
collectively  are  herein  called  "Liens").  Tenant  shall not use materials in
connection  with  the  Alterations  that are subject to any Liens.  Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord and Landlord's Affiliates for, and hold Landlord and Landlord
harmless  from and against:  (a) all Liens; (b) the removal of all Liens and any
actions  or  proceedings  related  thereto;  and (c) all Liabilities incurred by

to,  payment  to  the claimant on whose behalf the Lien was filed.  Tenant shall
indemnify  Landlord  for,  and  hold  Landlord  harmless  from  and against, all
Liabilities  so  incurred  by  Landlord, without regard to any defense or offset

labor,  services  or  materials  done  for  or  supplied  to  Tenant or Tenant's
Affiliates,  or  by  any  person  claiming  through  or under Tenant or Tenant's
Affiliates.  Alterations  shall  be  performed  so  as not to interfere with any
other tenant in the Building, cause labor disharmony therein, or delay or impose
any  additional  expense on Landlord in the construction, maintenance, repair or
operation  of  the  Building.  Throughout  the  performance  of the Alterations,
Tenant,  at  its  expense,  shall  carry, or cause to be carried, in addition to

dedicated  circuit  or  which  will  in  any  way  increase the amount of water,
electricity  or  HVAC  normally  furnished  for  similar  space in the Building.
Landlord  may  condition its consent on, among other things, the installation of
additional  risers, feeders and other appropriate equipment as well as meters in
the  Premises  to  measure the amount of water and electricity consumed.  Tenant
shall  pay  to  Landlord  on  demand  the  cost of:  (a) purchasing, installing,
maintaining  and repairing such equipment and/or meters and units; (b) all water
and  electricity  consumed  as shown by said meters, at the rates charged by the
local  utility  company;  and  (c) any additional expense incurred in connection
with  the  foregoing.  If  a  separate  meter is not installed, the cost for any
excess  water  and  electricity  will  be  established  by an estimate made by a
utility  company  or electrical engineer selected by Landlord.  Tenant shall not
connect  any  apparatus,  device or equipment except through existing electrical
outlets  in  the  Premises.

     11.3     Janitorial  Services.  The  janitorial  services to be provided by
              --------------------
Tenant shall be provided five (5) days a week, Monday through Friday (except for
Building  observed  holidays).  Janitorial  services  shall be those customarily
furnished  for  similar  buildings  in  the  general  vicinity  of the Building.

     11.4     Hours  of Operation.  HVAC for the Premises shall be provided five
              -------------------
(5)  days  a week, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 o'clock a.m. to 6:00 o'clock
p.m.  (except  for  Building  observed holidays) and Saturdays from 8:00 o'clock
a.m.  to  12  noon  (except  for  Building  observed  holidays).

<PAGE>
     11.5     Extra  Hours.  If  during any other hours or any other days Tenant
              ------------
desires  to  have  any  services  or  utilities supplied to the Premises, and if
Landlord is unable to provide the same, Tenant shall pay Landlord such charge as
Landlord  shall  establish  from  time  to  time  for providing such services or
utilities;  provided,  however,  such  charge shall not exceed Landlord's actual
cost  or  expense  for  providing  such services or utilities.  Any such charges
which  Tenant  is  obligated  to  pay  shall  be  deemed  to  be Additional Rent
hereunder.

12.     ENTRY  BY  LANDLORD
        -------------------

Landlord  shall  at  all times have the right to enter the Premises in order to:
inspect  the  Premises; post notices of non-responsibility; show the Premises to
prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants; perform its obligations and exercise
its  rights  hereunder: and make repairs, improvements, alterations or additions
to the Premises for Building or  any portion thereof as Landlord deems necessary
or  desirable and to do all things necessary in connection therewith, including,
but  not  limited  to,  erecting  scaffolding  and  other necessary  structures.
Landlord  shall  retain  (or be given by Tenant) keys to unlock all of the doors
within  the  Premises,  including  doors to Tenant's vaults and files.  Landlord
shall  have  the right to use any and all means necessary to obtain entry to the
Premises in an emergency.  Landlord's entry to the Premises shall not, under any
circumstances,  be deemed to be a forceful or unlawful entry into, or a detainer
of,  the  Premises  or  an  eviction  of Tenant from the Premises or any portion
thereof.

13.     TENANT'S  INSURANCE
        -------------------

     13.1     Casualty  Insurance.  At  all times during the Lease Term, Tenant,
              -------------------
at  its  expense,  shall  maintain  in  effect  policies  of  casualty insurance
covering:  (a)  all  alterations  made by Tenant and all leasehold improvements;
and  (b)  all of Tenant's Property and other personalty from time to time in, on
or  about  the  Premises, in an amount not less than their full replacement cost
(without  deduction  for depreciation) from time to time during the term of this
Lease.  Such  policies  shall provide for protection against any perils normally
included  within  the  classification  of  "All  Risks",  and  shall  contain
endorsements  covering:  demolition  and  increased  cost of construction; water
damage,  vandalism  and  malicious mischief; liability for changes in Laws.  The
proceeds  of  such  insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the
property  so  insured,  except  that  upon termination of this Lease following a
casualty  as set forth herein, the proceeds applicable to the items described in
clause  (a)  above shall be paid to Landlord, and the proceeds applicable to the
items  described  in  clause  (b)  above  shall  be  paid  to  Tenant.

     13.2     Public,  Liability  and  Property  Damage Insurance.  At all times
              ---------------------------------------------------
during  the  Lease  Term,  Tenant,  at its expense, shall maintain comprehensive
General  Liability  Insurance  (including  property  damage) with respect to the
ownership,  maintenance,  use,  operation  and condition of the Premises and the
business  conducted  therein.  Such  insurance shall at all times have limits of
not  less  than  One  Million  Dollars  ($1,000,000)  combined  single limit per
occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability.  At
Landlord's request, these limits shall be increased from time to time during the
Lease  Term (but not more often than once every two years) to such higher limits
as  Landlord  or  its  insurance  consultant  believe  are  necessary to protect
Landlord.  The  amount  of such insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor
relieve  Tenant  of  any obligation hereunder.  Each policy shall contain cross
liability  endorsements, if applicable, and shall insure Tenant's performance of
the  indemnity  provisions contained in Section 22.2 and elsewhere in this Lease
                                        ------------
and  any  other  obligations  of  Tenant  to  Landlord  hereunder.

<PAGE>
     13.3     Other  Insurance  Required  by Law.  At all times during the Lease
              ----------------------------------
Term,  Tenant,  at  its  expense,  shall maintain any and all other insurance as
required by law, including without limitation workers compensation insurance and
state  disability  insurance.

     13.4     Policy  Requirements.
              --------------------

          (a)     All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall
be  issued  by  responsible insurance companies, qualified to do business in the
State  of  California,  approved  by  Landlord  and,  if required, by Landlord's
Mortgagee.  Copies of all policies and certificates therefore shall be delivered
to  Landlord  and  the  Landlord's  Mortgagee  at  least  ten (10) days prior to
Tenant's  occupancy  of the Premises.  Each policy shall provide that it may not
be  canceled  or  modified except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord  and  Landlord's Mortgagee named as an additional insured or loss payee
thereunder.  Tenant  shall  furnish  Landlord with renewals or "binders" of each
policy,  together  with  evidence  of payment of the premium therefore, at least
thirty  (30)  days  prior to expiration.  Tenant shall have the right to provide
insurance  coverage  pursuant  to  blanket  policies  obtained  by Tenant if the
blanket  policies  expressly  afford  coverage  as required by this Lease.  Each
policy  shall  provide  that all losses shall be settled in the name of Landlord
(or,  if  required,  Landlord's  Mortgagee)  only.

          (b)     Landlord and, if required, Landlord's Mortgagee shall be named
as an additional insured in each insurance policy and, if requested by Landlord,
they  also  shall  be named as loss payees.  The Comprehensive General Liability
Insurance  shall:  apply severally to Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee and Tenant;
cover  each of them as if separate policies had been issued to each of them; not
contain  provisions  affecting  any  rights  which any of them would have had as
claimants  if  not  named as an insured; be primary insurance and not considered
contributory,  with  any  other  valid  and  collectible  insurance available to
Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee constituting excess insurance; and be endorsed
as  necessary  to  cover  the  foregoing  requirements.

          (c)     Each  policy of All Risk Coverage which Tenant obtains for the
Premises  shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any right of
subrogation  against  the other party hereto to the extent that rights have been
waived by the insured party prior to the occurrence of injury or loss.  Landlord
and  Tenant  each  waive  any rights of recovery against the other for injury or
loss due to hazards covered by its own insurance, to the extent of the injury or
loss  covered  thereby.

     13.5     Tenant  Failure  to  Deliver Policies.  If Tenant fails to deliver
              -------------------------------------
copies  of  the  insurance policies and evidence of payment therefore within the
time required pursuant to Section 13.4, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated
to,  obtain  the  required  insurance,  and  the  cost thereof, together with an
administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500), shall be payable by Tenant to
Landlord  on  demand.  Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to be a waiver of
any  rights  or  remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in
equity if Tenant fails to obtain and deliver the required insurance policies and
evidence  of  payment.

                                       11
<PAGE>
14.     DAMAGE  OR  DESTRUCTION; EMINENT DOMAIN
        ---------------------------------------

     14.1     Landlord's  Restoration.  If  the  Building  or  the  Premises are
              -----------------------
partially  damaged  or  totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, and if this
Lease  is  not terminated as provided in this Article, Landlord shall repair the
damage  and restore or rebuild the Building or the Premises (except for Tenant's
Property  and  leasehold  improvements  which  are  above  the  standard  of the
Building)  after  Landlord  receives  notice  of  the  damage or destruction and
Landlord  receives  substantially  all  of  the insurance proceeds receivable on
account  of  the  casualty.  However,  Landlord  shall  not be required to spend
amounts  in  excess of the insurance proceeds actually received for such repair,
restoration  or  rebuilding.  Subject  to  Article 22, Landlord shall attempt to
                                           ----------
make  any  required  repairs  or restoration promptly and so as not to interfere
unreasonably with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, but Landlord shall
not  be  obligated  to  perform  such  work on an overtime or premium-pay basis.

     14.2     Rent  Adjustment.  Subject to Section 14.3,  if in Landlord's sole
              ----------------              ------------
judgment,  all  or  part  of  the  Premises are rendered completely or partially
untenable  on  account  of fire or other casualty, or if damage by fire or other
casualty to the Building deprives Tenant of access to the Premises for more than
five  (5)  consecutive  days, the Monthly Rent shall be abated in the proportion
that  the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the
total  Rentable Area of the Premises.  Such abatement shall commence on the date
of  the  damage  or  destruction and shall continue until the Premises have been
substantially  repaired  and  Tenant  has  reasonable  access  to  the Premises.
However,  if  Tenant reoccupies the damaged portion of the Premises prior to the
date that the Premises are substantially repaired, the Monthly Rent allocable to
the  reoccupied  portion  shall  be  payable  by  Tenant  from  the date of such
occupancy  in the proportion that the rentable area of the reoccupied portion of
the  Premises  bears  to  the  total  Rentable  Area  of  the  Premises.

     14.3     Exception  to  Abatement.  Monthly  Rent  shall  not  be abated or
              ------------------------
reduced  if:  (a)  the  Premises or a portion  thereof are rendered untenantable
due  to  damage  or  loss of access for a period of five (5) consecutive days or
less; or (b) Landlord provides other space in the Building reasonably suited for
the  temporary  conduct  of  Tenant's  business  (but  Landlord  shall  have  no
obligation  to provide such other space); or (c) because of acts or omissions of
Tenant  or Tenant's Affiliates either (i) Landlord (or any Landlord's Mortgagee)
is  unable  to  collect  all  of  the  insurance  proceeds  (including,  without
limitation,  rent  insurance proceeds) for damage or destruction of the Premises
or  the  Building, or (ii) the Premises or the Building was damaged or destroyed
or  rendered  completely  or  partially untenantable.  The collection of rent by
Landlord  under  the  circumstances  described  in  clause  (c)  above shall not
preclude  Landlord  from  seeking  damages  from  Tenant or exercising any other
rights  and  remedies  it  may  have  under  this  Lease or at law or in equity.

<PAGE>
     14.4     Election  to  Terminate.  Landlord  may  terminate this Lease upon
              -----------------------
written  notice to Tenant if: (a) the Building or the Premises are substantially
or  totally  destroyed or, in Landlord's sole judgment, rendered untenantable by
fire  or  other  casualty  or any other cause; or (b) the Building is damaged or
rendered  untenantable  (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed or
rendered  untenantable)  so  that  its  repair  or  restoration  requires  the
expenditure  (as  estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by
Landlord)  of  more than twenty percent (20%) of the full insurable value of the
Building  immediately  prior  to  the  casualty;  or (c) less than two (2) years
remain  in  the  Lease  Term  at the time of the damage or destruction or events
which  rendered the Building or the Premises untenantable and the time necessary
to  repair or restore the Building or the Premises would exceed ninety (90) days
(as  estimated  by a reputable contractor or architect designed by Landlord); or
(d) Landlord would be required under Section 14.2 to abate or reduce the Monthly
Rent  for  a  period in excess of sixth (6) month if repairs or restoration were
undertaken.  If  Landlord  elects  to  terminate  this  Lease,  its  notice  of
termination  shall  be  given within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the
date  of the damage, destruction or events causing untenatability and this Lease
shall  terminate  on  the  date  specified  in  such  notice.

     14.5     Eminent  Domain.  Landlord  may  terminate this Lease upon written
              ---------------
notice  to  Tenant  if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either the Premises,
the  Building  or  the Land is condemned, taken or appropriated by any public or
quasi-public  authority  under  the  power  of  eminent  domain, police power or
otherwise  (or in the event of sale in lieu thereof).  Whether or not this Lease
is so terminated, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income, rent, award,
or  interest  thereon which may be paid or made in connection with the taking or
appropriation,  and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of
any  unexpired  term of this Lease.  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease,
its  notice  of  termination  shall  be  given within sixty (60) days after  the
taking  or  appropriation.  If  such notice is not given or if Landlord notifies
Tenant  of  Landlord's  election  not to terminate, this Lease shall continue in
full  force  and  effect,  except  that the Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the
proportion  that the rentable floor area of the Premises which is taken bears to
the  total  Rentable  Area  of  the Premises.  Nothing contained in this Section
shall  prevent  Tenant  from  bringing  a  separate  action  or  proceeding  for
compensation  for  any  of Tenant's Property taken and Tenant's moving expenses.

     14.6     Business Interpretation.  Landlord shall not incur any Liabilities
              -----------------------
of  any type to Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates arising from or in connection with
any  damage  or  destruction  of  the Premises, the Building or the Land, or any
taking  or  appropriation  thereof,  or any repairs or restoration in connection
therewith,  nor  shall Tenant have any right to terminate this Lease as a result
thereof.  However,  in  such  event,  Monthly Rent shall be abated if and to the
extent  that  abatement  is  allowed  pursuant  to  this  Article 14.
                                                          ----------

     14.7     Waiver.  Tenant  waives  the  application  of  any  laws which are
              ------
contrary  to  the  provisions  of  this  Article  in connection with any damage,
destruction,  condemnation, taking or appropriation (or sale in lieu thereof) of
all  or  any  portion  of  the  Premises,  the  Building  or  the  Land.

15.     ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING
        ---------------------------

     15.1     Landlord's  Consent  Required.  Tenant  shall  not  voluntarily,
              -----------------------------
involuntarily or by operation of any Laws sell, convey, mortgage, assign, sublet
or  otherwise  transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this
Lease or the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance,
which  consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion except
as  otherwise  provided  in  this Article, and any attempt to do so without this
consent  shall  be  null  and  void.

     15.2     Landlord's  Right to Terminate Lease.  If Tenant desires to assign
              ------------------------------------
its  interest  in  this  Lease  or  to sublease all or any part of the Premises,
Tenant  shall  notify Landlord in writing.  This notice shall be accompanied by:
(a) a processing fee in the amount of $500.00; (b) a statement setting forth the
name and business assignment or sublease (and any collateral agreements) setting
forth  all  of the terms and the financial details of the sublease or assignment
which  shall  not  be  effective  less  than  ninety  (90) days from the date of
Tenant's  notice  (including,  without  limitation,  the  term, the rent and any
security deposit, "key money", and amounts payable for Tenant's Property and the
common use of any personnel or equipment); (d) financial statements certified by
an  independent  certified  public accountant and other information requested by
Landlord  relating  to  the  proposed  assignee  or subtenant; and (e) any other
information  concerning  the  proposed assignment or sublease which Landlord may
reasonably  request.  If  Tenant  proposes to assign this Lease or sublet all or
substantially  all  of  the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole
and  absolute  discretion,  to  terminate this Lease on written notice to Tenant
within  ninety  (90)  days  after receipt of Tenant's notice and the information
described  above  or  the  receipt  of  any  additional information requested by
Landlord.  If  Landlord  elects  to  terminate  this  Lease,  this  Lease  shall
terminate as of the effective date of the proposed assignment or commencement of
the  term of the proposed sublease as set forth in Tenant's notice, and Landlord
shall  have  the right (but no obligation) to enter into a direct lease with the
proposed  assignee  or subtenant, Tenant may withdraw its request for Landlord's
consent  at any time prior to, but not after, Landlord delivers a written notice
of  termination.

     15.3     Consent  by  Landlord.  If  Landlord  elects not to terminate this
              ---------------------
Lease  pursuant  to  Section  15.2,  or  if a proposed sublease is for less than
                     -------------
substantially  all of the Premises, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent  to  any  assignment  or  subletting  (for  purposes of this Section, an
assignment shall not include an assignment for security purposes, which shall be
governed  by  Section  15.1).  Tenant  agrees that the withholding of Landlord's
              -------------
consent  shall  be  deemed reasonable if all of the following conditions are not
satisfied:

          (a)     The proposed assignee or subtenant shall use the Premises only
for the Permitted Use, and the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is
consistent  with the other uses and the standards of the Building, in Landlord's
reasonable  judgment.

          (b)     The  proposed  assignee  or subtenant is reputable and has net
worth not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the net worth of Tenant on the
execution  of this Lease, has a credit rating reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
and  otherwise  has  sufficient  financial  capabilities  to  perform all of its
obligations  under this Lease or the proposed sublease, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment.

                                       14
<PAGE>
          (c)     Neither  the  proposed assignee or subtenant nor any person or
entity  that  directly  or  indirectly  controls,  is controlled by, or is under
common  control  with  the  proposed assignee or subtenant is an occupant of any
part  of  the  Building or has negotiated for space in the Building within a six
(6)  month  period  prior  to  the  delivery  of  Tenant's  written  notice.

          (d)     Tenant  is  not  in  default  and  has  not  committed acts or
omissions  which  with the running of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute  a  default  under  this  Lease.

          (e)     Tenant  has  complied  with  all  of  the  other terms of this
Article.

The  conditions described above are not exclusive and shall not limit or prevent
Landlord  from  considering  additional  factors  in  determining  if  it should
reasonably  withhold  its  consent.

     15.4     Corporate  and  Partnership  Transactions.  If  Tenant  is  a
              -----------------------------------------
corporation,  a  dissolution  of  the  corporation or a transfer (by one or more
transactions)  of a majority of the voting stock of Tenant shall be deemed to be
an assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Article.  However,
these provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with
which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant's
assets  are  transferred or which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control  with,  Tenant,  if a principal purpose of the merger or transfer is not
the  assignment  of  this Lease and Tenant's successors has a net worth not less
than the net worth of Tenant on the execution of this Lease.  Tenant shall cause
reasonable  satisfactory proof of such net worth to be delivered at least thirty
(30)  days  prior  to  the  effective  date  of the transaction.  If Tenant is a
partnership,  a  dissolution  of  the  partnership  (including  a  "technical"
dissolution)  or  a  transfer  of  the  controlling  interest in the Partnership
(including  the admission of new partners or the withdrawal of existing partners
having  a  controlling  interest)  shall  be  deemed an assignment of this Lease
subject to the provisions of this Article, regardless of whether the transfer is
made  by  one  or  more  transactions,  or  whether one or more persons hold the
controlling  interest  prior  or  after  the  transfer.

     15.5     No  Release of Tenant.  Notwithstanding the granting of Landlord's
              ---------------------
consent,  no sale, conveyance, mortgage, pledge, subletting, assignment or other
transfer  or  encumbrance  of  this Lease or the Premises shall release or alter
Tenant's  primary liability to pay rent and perform all of its other obligations
hereunder.  The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant
shall  not  be  a  waiver  by  Landlord of any provision hereof.  Consent to one
assignment  or  subletting  shall  not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent
assignment  or  subletting.  If  any assignee or successor of Tenant defaults in
the  performance  of  any  of  the  terms  hereof, Landlord may proceed directly
against Tenant without proceeding against or exhausting its remedies against the
assignee  or  successor.  After  any  assignment,  sublease or other transfer or
encumbrance,  Landlord  may  consent  to  subsequent  assignments,  subleases,
transfers or encumbrances, or amendments to this Lease, without notifying Tenant
or  any  other  person, without obtaining consent thereto, and without relieving
Tenant  of  liability  under  this  Lease.

<PAGE>
     15.6     Additional  Charges.  If  Landlord  consents  to any assignment or
              -------------------
sublease,  Tenant  shall  pay  the  following  to  Landlord  as Additional Rent:

          (a)     In  the  case of an assignment, all amounts paid or payable to
Tenant  by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including sums paid
or  payable  for  the  purchase  or rental of all or part of Tenant's Property).

          (b)     In  the  case  of a sublease, the amount by which the sublease
rental  exceeds the portion of the rent allocable to the sublease rental exceeds
the portion of the rent allocable to the sublease space hereunder throughout the
sublease  term.  In computing this amount, the sublease rental shall include all
rents, charges and other consideration paid or payable to Tenant under the terms
of  the  sublease and any collateral agreements, and sums paid or payable by the
subtenant  for  the purchase or rental of all or part of Tenant's Property.  The
rent  hereunder  allocable to the subleased space for any period shall equal the
total  rent accruing during such period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of  which  is  the  rentable  area of the subleased space and the denominator of
which  is the Rentable Area of the Premises.  This Additional Rent shall be paid
by  Tenant to Landlord as and when received by Tenant  or, at Landlord's option,
on  written notice to the assignee or subtenant, Landlord may collect all or any
portion of this Additional Rent directly from the assignee or subtenant.  Tenant
shall  receive  a  credit against this Additional Rent in an amount equal to the
net  unamortized  or undepreciated cost of any of Tenant's Property that is sold
to  the  assignee  or  sublessee in connection with such assignment or sublease,
determined  on  the  basis  of Tenant's federal income tax returns.  This credit
shall  be  prorated  over  the period during which this Additional Rent is to be
paid, in proportion to the amounts received by Tenant.  Landlord's acceptance or
collection  of  this  Additional  Rent  will  be  deemed  to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting or a cure of any default under this Article or the rest
of  the  Lease.

     15.7     Additional  Terms.
              -----------------

          (a)     Tenant  shall  pay  the  reasonable  attorney's fees and other
costs  and  expenses  of  Landlord in connection with any request for Landlord's
consent to any sale, conveyance, mortgage, pledge, assignment, sublease or other
transfer  or  encumbrance.  The $500.00 application fee (see Section 15.2) shall
                                                             ------------
be  applied  toward  the  payment  of  such  costs.

          (b)     A  sublease  will be null and void unless it complies with the
rest  of  this  Lease  and provides that:  (i) it is a conflict or inconsistency
between  the sublease and this Lease, this Lease will prevail; (ii) Landlord may
enforce  all  the  provisions of the sublease, including the collection of rent;
(iii)  it  may not be modified without Landlord's prior written consent and that
any modification without this consent shall be null and void; (iv) if this Lease
is  terminated  or Landlord re-enters or repossesses the Premises, Landlord may,
at  its option, take over all of Tenant's right, title and interest as sublessor
and,  at Landlord's option, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord, but Landlord
shall  not  be  (x)  liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the

                                       16
<PAGE>
sublease,  (y)  subject to any existing defense or offset against Tenant, or (z)
bound by any previous modification of the sublease made without Landlord's prior
written  consent  or by any prepayment of more than one month's rent; and (v) it
is  ineffective  until  Landlord  gives  its  written  consent  thereto.

          (c)     An  assignment  will  be null and void unless it complies with
the  rest  of  this  Lease  and  provides that:  (i) the assignee assumes all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease and agrees to be bound by all of the terms
of  this  Lease;  and  (ii)  it  is ineffective until Landlord gives its written
consent  thereto.

          (d)     The  sublease  or  assignment otherwise must exactly match the
proposed  sublease  or  assignment initially submitted by Tenant.  A sublease or
assignment will not be effective until a fully executed counterpart is delivered
by  Landlord  and  Landlord  delivers  its  written  consent  thereto.

          (e)     This  Article  is  binding on and shall apply to any purchase,
mortgagee,  pledgee, assignee, subtenant or other transferee or encumbrancer, at
every  level.

          (f)     Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary to this Lease, if
Tenant  or  any  proposed  transferee  of  Tenant  claims  that  Landlord  has
unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 15.3 or otherwise has
                                                   ------------
breached  or acted unreasonably under this Article, their sole remedies shall be
a  declaratory  judgment  and  an  injunction  for the relief sought without any
monetary damages, and Tenant waives all other remedies on its own behalf and, to
the  extent permitted under all Laws, on behalf of Tenant's proposed transferee.

16.     QUIET  ENJOYMENT
        ----------------

Provided  that Tenant pays all rent and performs all of its other obligations as
required hereunder, Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance or
molestation  by  Landlord,  or  any  person  lawfully  claiming through or under
Landlord,  subject  to  the  terms  of  this Lease and the terms of any Superior
Leases  and Mortgages, and all other agreements or matters of record or to which
this Lease is subordinate.  As used in this Lease, the term "Superior Leases and
Mortgages"  means  all  present  and  future  ground  leases, underlying leases,
mortgages,  deeds  of  trust  or  other  encumbrances,  and  all  renewals,
modifications,  consolidations,  replacements  or extensions thereof or advances
made  thereunder,  affecting all or any portion of the Premises, the Building or
the  Land.

17.     MORTGAGE  PROTECTION
        --------------------

          17.1     Subordination.  This  Lease  is  subordinate  to all Superior
                   -------------
Leases  and  Mortgages.  This  Section  shall  be  self-operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be required.  However, in confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that
Landlord or the lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any of the Superior Lease
and  Mortgages  may  request,  within ten (10) days after request (each of these
lessors,  mortgagees  or  beneficiary  is  called  a  "Landlord's  Mortgagee").

                                       17
<PAGE>
However,  if  Landlord,  Landlord's Mortgagee or any other successor to Landlord
elect in writing, this Lease shall be deemed superior to the Superior Leases and
Mortgages  specified,  regardless  of  the  date  of  recording, and Tenant will
execute  agreement confirming this election on request.  If Landlord's Mortgagee
or  its  successor  or any successor to Landlord succeeds to Landlord's interest
under  this  Lease, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Tenant shall attorn to
such  person  and  recognize  such  person  as  Landlord  under  this  Lease.

          17.2     Mortgagee's  Liability.  The  obligations  and liabilities of
                   ----------------------
each  Landlord  or  Landlord's  Mortgagees, or their successors under this Lease
shall exist only if and for so long as each of these respective parties owns fee
title  to  the  Land  and  the  Building  or  is the lessee under a ground lease
therefore.  No  Monthly  Rent  or Additional Rent shall be paid more than thirty
(30)  days  prior to the due date thereof and payments made in violation of this
provision  shall  (except to the extent that such payments are actually received
by  a  Landlord's  Mortgagee)  be  a nullity as against Landlord's Mortgagees or
their  successors  and Tenant shall be liable for the amount of such payments to
Landlord's  Mortgagees  or  their  successors.

          17.3     Mortgagee's  Right  to  Cure.  No act or omission by Landlord
                   ----------------------------
which  would  entitle  Tenant  under  the  terms of this Lease or any laws to be
relieved  of  Tenant's  obligations hereunder, or to terminate this Lease, shall
result  in  a  release  or termination of such obligations or this Lease unless:
(a)  Tenant  first shall have given written notice of Landlord's act or omission
to  Landlord  and all Landlord's Mortgagees whose names and addresses shall have
been  furnished  to Tenant; and (b) Landlord's Mortgagees, after receipt of such
notice,  fail  to  correct  or cure the act or omission within a reasonable time
thereafter  (but  in  no  event  less  than  sixty (60) days).  However, nothing
contained  in  this Section shall impose any obligation on Landlord's Mortgagees
to  correct  or  cure  any  act  or  omission.

18.     ESTOPPEL  CERTIFICATE
        ---------------------

Tenant shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord,
execute  and  deliver  to Landlord or any other person designated by Landlord an
estoppel  certificate, in a form satisfactory to Landlord, which certifies:  (a)
that  this  Lease  is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have
been  modifications,  describes them); (b) the expiration date of the Lease Term
and that there are no agreements with Landlord to extend or renew the Lease Term
or  to  permit  any holding over (or if there are any such agreements, describes
them  and  specifies  the periods of extension or renewal); (c) the date through
which  the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent have been paid; (d) that Landlord is
not  in  default  in  the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease
(or,  if  there  are  any such defaults, describes them); (e) that Tenant is not
entitled  to  any credits, offsets defenses or deductions against payment of the
rent  hereunder  (or,  if  they  exist,  describes  them);  and  (f)  such other
information  concerning  this  Lease  or  Tenant as Landlord or any other person
designated by Landlord reasonably shall request.  An estoppel certificate issued
by  Tenant  pursuant  to  this Article shall be a representation and warranty by
Tenant  which  may be relied on by Landlord and by others with whom Landlord may
be  dealing regardless of independent investigation.  If Tenant fails to execute
and  deliver  an  estoppel  certificate  as  required  hereunder,  Landlord's
representations  concerning  the  factual  matters  covered  by  such  estoppel
certificate,  as  described  above, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct
and  binding  on  Tenant.

19.     DEFAULT

                   ----------
fifteen  (15)  days  after  the  written  notice  thereof by Landlord to Tenant.
However,  if  the  nature  of these defaults is such that more than fifteen (15)
days  are  reasonably required to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
default  if  Tenant  commences  such cure within the fifteen-day (15) period and
thereafter  diligently  completes  the  cure  within  sixty  (60)  days.

          (d)     The  making  by  Tenant  or any guarantor of this Lease of any
general  assignment  or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the
filing  of  or  against  Tenant  or any guarantor of this Lease of a petition or

other  transfer or encumbrance, or any attempt to do so, in violation of Article
                                                                         -------

20.     REMEDIES  FOR  DEFAULT
        ----------------------

     20.1     General.  In  the  event  of  any  default  or  breach  by Tenant,
              -------
Landlord  may  at  any  time  thereafter,  with  or  without  notice  or demand:

          (a)     Terminate  Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful  means,  in  which  case  this  Lease  shall  terminate  and Tenant shall
immediately  surrender  possession  of  the Premises to Landlord.  In such event
Landlord  shall  be  entitled to recover from Tenant all liabilities incurred by
Landlord  or Landlord's Affiliates by reason of Tenant's default, including, but
not  limited  to:  (i) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
the  unpaid  Monthly  Rent and Additional Rent which should have been earned  or
was  payable at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award
of  the  amount by which the unpaid Monthly Rent and Additional Rent which would
have  been  earned  or  payable  after  termination  until the time of the award
exceeds  the  amount  of  such  rental  loss  that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably  avoided;  (iii)  the worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid Monthly Rent and Additional Rent which would have been paid for
the  balance  of  the  term  after  the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could  have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any
other  amount  necessary  to compensate Landlord for all Liabilities proximately
caused  by  Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which
in  the ordinary course of thing would be likely to result therefrom, including,
but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or
preserving  the Premises, the Building and the Land after such default, the cost
of  recovering  possession  of  the  Premises,  expenses of reletting, including
necessary  renovation  or alteration of the Premises, Landlord's attorneys' fees
and costs incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commissions paid
or  payable.  As used in subparts (i) and (ii)  above, the "worth at the time of
the  award"  is  computed  by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of
eighteen  percent  (18%)  per  annum,  or  such lesser amount as may then be the
maximum  lawful  rate.  As used in subparagraph (iii)  above, the "worth at time
of the award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one (1)
percentage  point.  If  Tenant  abandons  the  Premises, Landlord shall have the
option  of  (x) taking possession of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the
amount specified in this subparagraph, or (y) proceeding under the provisions of
subparagraph (b) below.  Efforts by landlord to mitigate Tenant's breach of this
Lease  shall  not  waive Landlord's right to recover damages as provided in this
Section  20.1(a).
----------------

          (b)     Maintain  Tenant's  right  to  possession,  in which case this
Lease  shall  continue  in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the
Premises.  In  such  event,  Landlord  shall  be  entitled  to  enforce  all  of
Landlord's  rights  and  remedies  under  this  Lease  and  at law or in equity,
including  the  right  to  recover  the  rent and other sums and charges as they
become  due  hereunder.

                                       20
<PAGE>
          (c)     Pursue any other right or remedy now or hereafter available to
Landlord  hereunder  or  at  law  or  in  equity.

     20.2     Redemption.  Tenant  waives  any  and  all  rights  of  redemption
              ----------
granted by or under any laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause,
or  if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by
Tenant of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.

     20.3     Performance  by  Landlord.  If  Tenant  defaults under this Lease,
              -------------------------
Landlord, without waiving or curing the default, may, but shall not be obligated
to,  perform  Tenant's obligations for the account and at the expense of Tenant.
Notwithstanding  Section  19(c),  in the case of an emergency, Landlord need not
give  any  notice  prior to performing Tenant's obligations.  Tenant irrevocably
appoints  Landlord  and  Landlord's  successors  and  assigns with full power of
substitution,  as  Tenant's  attorney-in-fact,  coupled  with  an  interest,  to
execute,  acknowledge  and deliver any instruments in connection with Landlord's
performance  of  Tenant's  obligations  if Tenant is in default, and to take all
other  actions  in  connection  herewith.

     20.4     Post-Judgment  Interest.  The  amount  of any judgment obtained by
              -----------------------
Landlord  against Tenant in any legal proceeding arising out of Tenant's default
under  this  Lease shall bear interest until paid at the maximum rate allowed by
law,  or, if no maximum rate prevails, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary contained in any Laws, with
respect  to  any  damages  that  are  certain  or  ascertainable by calculation,
interest  shall  accrue  from  the  day  that  the  right to the damages vest in
Landlord,  and in the case of any unliquidated claim, interest shall accrue from
the  day  the  claim  arose.

21.     HOLDING  OVER
        -------------

     Tenant  shall  not hold over in the Premises after the expiration or sooner
termination  of  the  Lease  Term  without  the express prior written consent of
Landlord.  Tenant  shall  indemnify  Landlord  for, and defend and hold Landlord
harmless  from  and  against,  any  and  all  Liabilities  arising  out of or in
connection  with  any delay by Tenant in surrendering and vacating the Premises,
including, without limitation, any claims made by and succeeding Tenant based on
any delay and any Liabilities arising out of or in connection with these claims.
If  possession  of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the expiration
or  sooner  termination  of  the Lease Term, in addition to any other rights and
remedies  of  Landlord  hereunder  or  at  law or in equity, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord for each month or portion thereof during which tenant holds over in the
Premises  a  sum  equal  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  percent  (150%) times the
then-current  Monthly  Rent  in  addition  to  all other rent payable under this
Lease.  If  any tenancy is created by Tenant's holding over in the Premises, the
tenancy  shall  be on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that
rent  shall  be  increased,  as  set  forth  above  and  the  tenancy shall be a
month-to-month  tenancy.  Nothing  in  this Article 21 shall be deemed to permit
                                            ----------
Tenant  to  retain  possession  of  the  Premises after the expiration or sooner
termination  of  the  Lease  Term.

or causes.  Nothing in this Section exempts Landlord for liability caused solely
by  its gross negligence or willful misconduct, but Landlord shall not be liable
under  any  circumstances  for consequential or punitive damages (including, but
not  limited  to,  damage  or  injury  to  persons,  property and the conduct of
Tenant's  business  ({and  any  loss of revenue therefrom}).  Tenant immediately

the  corporation  represents  and  warrants  that  he/she  is duly authorized to
execute  and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation, in accordance with
a  duly  adopted  resolution of the board of directors of said corporation or in
accordance  with the by-laws of said corporation, and that this Lease is binding

                                       24
<PAGE>
on  the  corporation  in accordance with its terms.  Tenant shall, within thirty
(30)  days  of execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord (i) a certified copy
of  a  resolution  of  the board of directors of the corporation (in substantial
form  to  the  one  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  "D")  and (ii) other evidence
                                          ------------
reasonably  satisfactory  to  Landlord authorizing or ratifying the execution of
this  Lease.

28.     RELOCATION
        ----------

     Notwithstanding  any contrary provision of this Lease, if Landlord requires
the  Premises  for  use  in  connection  with another suite or for other reasons
related  to Landlord's occupancy plans for the Building, then at any time during
the  Lease  Term  Landlord  shall  have  the  right, upon providing Tenant prior
written  notice  (the  "Relocation  Notice"), to provide and furnish Tenant with
space elsewhere in the Building comparable to the Premises and to move and place
Tenant  in such new space, at Landlord's sole cost and expense. Such space shall
be approximately the same size as the existing Premises and shall be improved by
Landlord  prior to Tenant's relocation with leasehold improvements comparable to
those  in  the  existing  Premises.  However, if the new space does not meet the
Tenant's  reasonable  and good-faith approval, Tenant may cancel this Lease upon
written notice to Landlord, which notice must be received by Landlord within ten
(10) days after delivery to Tenant of the Relocation Notice, and unless Landlord
withdraws  its  request  that  Tenant relocate, this Lease shall terminate sixty
(60)  days  thereafter  (as if such date were the natural expiration of the Term
hereof)  and  neither  party  shall  have  any  further  rights  or  obligations
hereunder.  Tenant's  failure  to  timely deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant's
election to cancel this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance by Tenant of the new
space  set  forth in the Relocation Notice, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises
in  accordance  with  said notice and/or the terms of any subsequent notice from
Landlord  to Tenant. If Landlord moves Tenant to such new space, then this Lease
and  each  and all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall remain in
full  force  and effect and be deemed applicable to such new space except that a
revised Exhibit "A" showing the location of the new space shall become a part of
        -----------
this  Lease  and  Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  promptly  thereafter  execute an
amendment  to this Lease containing such revised "Exhibit "A" and with the Basic
                                                  -----------
Terms  of  this  Lease,  as  contained  in  Article 2, amended, if necessary, to
                                            ---------
include  and  state  all  correct  data  as  to  the  new  space.

29.     REMOVAL  OF  PROPERTY
        ---------------------

     In  the  event  of  the  termination of this Lease, Landlord may remove any
property of Tenant from the Premises, the Building and/or the Land and store the
same  elsewhere  for  the  account and expense and risk of Tenant, and if Tenant
shall fail to pay the cost of storing such property after it has been stored for
a  period  of  sixty  (60)  days  or  more,  Landlord may sell any or all of the
property  at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places
as  Landlord,  in  its  sole  and  absolute discretion, may deem proper, without
notice  to or demand upon Tenant, for payment of any part of such charges or the
removal  of any such property, and shall apply the proceeds of such sale: first,
to  the cost and expense of such sale, including actual and customary attorneys'
fees incurred; second to the payment of the cost of charges for storing any such
property;  third,  to  the  payment of any other sums of money which may then or

conditions  or  provisions of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises the
Option  or  as  of  the  Expiration  Date;

          (b)     shall  not  have  assigned  its  interest  under  this  Lease;

          (c)     shall  not  have  sublet  any  portion of the Premises without

     Unless  all of the above conditions precedent have been satisfied, Tenant's
exercise  of  the  Option  shall  be  of no force or effect and the Option shall
lapse.  If  all  of the above conditions precedent are satisfied, then the Lease
Term  shall  automatically be extended for the Option Term and all of the terms,
conditions  and provisions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect

paid  by  Tenant  during  the  Option Term shall be equal to the then prevailing
rates being paid by other tenants in the building for new leases and renewals of
comparable  space,  including  but  not  limited  to provisions for concessions,
inducements,  allowances  and  periodic  adjustments.  If  Tenant  exercises the
Option,  Landlord  and  Tenant shall, on or before the original Expiration Date,
prepare and execute an extension agreement acknowledging that Tenant has elected
to extend and include a schedule setting forth the Base Year and Monthly Rent to
be in effect for the Option Term. The Option shall be personal to Tenant and may

receipt  of  Landlord's  written  notice to exercise the right of first refusal.
Except  for  rental rate, all terms and conditions for the expansion space shall
be  the  same  as  those  in the Lease. The rental rate fore the expansion space
shall  be  the  then prevailing rental rate in the Building. Tenant shall not be

fully  at  all  times  with  Landlord  and  to  abide  to  all  regulations  and
requirements  which  landlord  may  prescribe  for  the  proper  functioning and

for  the measured consumption under the terms, classifications and rates charged
to  similar  consumers  by  said public utilities serving in the neighborhood in
which the Building is located.  If a separate meter is not installed at tenant's
cost,  such  excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon Landlord

other  means  by  which  such  services  are  supplied, for the purpose of using
additional  or  unusual  amounts  of  such  services  without written consent of
Landlord.  Should  tenant  use  the  same  to excess, the refusal on the part of
tenant  to  pay, upon demand of Landlord, the amount established by Landlord for
such  excess  charge  shall  constitute  a  breach of the obligation to pay rent
current  under  tenant's  lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights therein
granted  for  such  breach.  At all times tenant's use of electric current shall
never  exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the rises or wiring
installation  and  tenant shall not install or use or permit the installation or
use  of  any  computer  or  electronic data processing equipment in the premises

meter  and  thereby measure tenant's water consumption for all purposes.  Tenant

thereof  and  throughout  the  duration of tenant's occupancy, tenant shall keep
said  meter  installation equipment in good working order and repair at tenant's
own  cost  and  expense,  in  default of which Landlord may cause such meter and
equipment  to  be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from tenant.
Tenant  agrees  to  pay  for  water consumed, as shown on aid meter, as and when
bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such
charges  and collect the same from tenant.  Any such costs or expenses incurred,
or  payments  made  by  Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes herein above
stated shall be deemed to be Additional Rent, payable by tenant, and collectible
by  landlord  as  such.
