      USING
        REGUS BUSINESS CENTRES

      1.We
        are
        Regus (UK) Limited. These are our terms of business. They apply to the service
        agreement which you have signed (which we refer to simply as your agreement).
        Your agreement supersedes any previous agreement you may have with us for
        the
        same services and contains all terms we have agreed.

      

      STANDARD
        SERVICES INCLUDED IN YOUR STANDARD FEE

      2.
         Furnished
        office accommodation:
        We are
        to provide the number of serviced and fully furnished rooms for which you
        have
        agreed to pay in the business centre stated in your agreement. Your agreement
        lists the rooms we have initially allocated for your use. You will have a
        non-exclusive right to the rooms allocated to you. Occasionally we may need
        to
        allocate different rooms, but these will be of equivalent size and we will
        try
        to agree these with you in advance. 

      3.
         Office
        services:
        We are
        to provide during normal opening hours Monday to Friday the services listed
        in
        the relevant service description(s) and available on request. We are happy
        to
        discuss special arrangements for use of these services outside our normal
        opening hours. All of the optional services are subject to the availability
        of
        our centre staff at the time of any service request. We will endeavor to
        deal
        with a service request at the earliest opportunity, but will not be held
        responsible for any delay. 

      If
        in our
        opinion, we decide that a request for any particular Business Service is
        excessive, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee at our usual
        published rates based on the time taken to complete the service.

      YOUR
        AGREEMENT

      18.  The
        nature of your agreement:
        Your
        agreement is the commercial equivalent of an

      agreement
        for accommodation in a hotel. The whole of the business centre remains our
        property and in our possession and control. We are giving you no Interest
        In
        property just the right to share with us the use of the business centre so
        that
        we can provide the services to you. The agreement Is personal to you and
        cannot
        be transferred to anyone else. We may transfer the benefit of your agreement
        and
        our obligations under it at any time.

      19.
         Duration:
        Your
        agreement lasts for the period stated in it and will then automatically be
        renewed for successive periods of equal to the current term but no less than
        3
        months until brought to an end by you or us. All periods shall run to the
        last
        day of the month in which they would otherwise expire. The fees on any renewal
        will be the then market price. In all other respects your agreement will
        renew
        on the same terms and conditions.

      20.
         Bringing
        your agreement to an end: Either
        of
        us can terminate your agreement at the end date stated In It, or at the end
        of
        any extension or renewal period, by giving at least three months' notice
        to the
        other,

      However,
        If your agreement, extension or renewal Is for three months or less and one
        of
        us wishes to terminate it, the notice period Is two months or (If shorter)
        one
        week less than the period stated in it.

      21.
         Ending
        your agreement immediately:
        We may
        put an end to your agreement

      immediately

        you
        become insolvent, go Into liquidation or become unable to pay your debts
        as

        they
        fall due, 

      .
        you are
        In breach of one of your obligations which cannot be put right or which
