The  parties  hereto  for  themselves,   their  heirs,  legal   representatives,
successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:


1.       USE OF OFFICE AND PROVISION OF SERVICES

         For the Term of this Agreement,  as hereinafter defined, and subject to

         (collectively the "Services").

2.       CONDITIONS OF USE

         (a)      The  Office  shall  be used by  Licensee  for  general  office
                  purposes  only  and such  other  use as is  normally  incident
                  thereto and for no other purpose, in accordance with the rules
                  and  regulations  attached hereto and which may be promulgated
                  for the  mutual  benefit  of all  parties  that shall have the
                  right  to  so  use  the  Property  or  any  portion   thereof.
                  Additionally,  Licensee  shall not offer at the Property or in
                  the Office any of the Services which DWSS provides or has made
                  available on the Property to its other users,  including,  but
                  not  limited  to, any of the  Services  provided  herein or as
                  described  in  Exhibits  "A"  and  "C"  attached  hereto;  and
                  Licensee shall, under no circumstances, assign any part of its
                  interest  under  this  Agreement  to  any  other  user  of the
                  Property. In the event Licensee breaches any provision of this

         (b)      Licensee  will  not make or  permit  to be made any use of the
                  Property,  the Office or any part thereof  which would violate
                  any  of  the  covenants,  agreements,  terms,  provisions  and
                  conditions of this  Agreement or which  directly or indirectly
                  is   forbidden  by  public  law,   ordinance   or   government
                  regulations  or which may be dangerous to the life,  limb,  or
                  property,  or which may  invalidate or increase the premium of
                  any policy of  insurance  carried on the  Property or covering
                  its operation,  or which will suffer or permit the Property or
                  any part  thereof to be used in any manner or  anything  to be
                  brought into or kept therein  which,  in the judgment of DWSS,
                  shall  in any way  impair  or tend to  impair  the  character,
                  reputation  or  appearance  of the  Property as a high quality
                  office  building,  or which will impair or  interfere  with or
                  tend to impair or interfere with any of the Services performed
                  by DWSS for the Property.

                           following: One speaker phone and two data lines.

                  The aggregate  Charges are payable beginning July 1, 1999. The
                  amount of Nine Hundred Nineteen and 00/100 Dollars  ($919.00),
                  plus a Retainer  in the amount of Nine  Hundred  Nineteen  and
                  00/100  Dollars  ($919.00),  is due  upon  execution  of  this
                  Agreement.  Thereafter, equal monthly payments of Nine Hundred
                  Nineteen and 00/100  Dollars  ($919.00),  each must be made in
                  advance  on the first  day of each  calendar  month  beginning
                  August 1, 1999.

         (b)      Should Licensee  commence using any portion of the Office on a
                  day other than the first day of the month,  the Charges  shall
                  be  prorated  for the first month as  follows:  The  aggregate
                  monthly Charges will be divided by 30 and the resulting number
                  will be  multiplied  by the  number of days  remaining  in the
                  month.

         (c)      If DWSS, for any reason,  cannot make the Office  available to
                  Licensee  to  use  on  the  commencement  of  the  Term,  this
                  Agreement  shall not be void or  voidable  nor  shall  DWSS be
                  liable to Licensee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom,
                  but there  shall be an  abatement  of  Charges  for the period
                  between the commencement of the Term and the time when DWSS is
                  able to make the Office available to Licensee.

5.       RECEIPT OF RETAINER

         Concurrent  with execution  hereof Licensee has deposited with DWSS the
         sum of Nine Hundred Nineteen and 00/100 Dollars ($919.00), acknowledged
         by DWSS,  to ensure the full  performance  by Licensee of the terms and
         conditions  of this  Agreement as well as for the cost of any repair or
         collection  of damages  to the  Office  occasioned  by  Licensee's  use
         thereof.  The Retainer or any balance  thereof shall be returned within
         forty-five  (45) days after  Licensee has ceased  using the Office,  so
         long as the same is in an  acceptable  condition  (following a personal
         inspection by DWSS) and  surrendered  all keys. If DWSS determines that
         any damage or injury  chargeable  to  Licensee  hereunder  exceeds  the
         Retainer,  DWSS,  at its  option,  may  retain  said sum as  liquidated
         damages or may apply the sum  against  any actual  damage or injury and
         the balance  thereof  will be the  responsibility  of  Licensee.  It is
         further  understood  that  the  Retainer  is  not  to be  considered  a
         prepayment of the last month's Charges due under this Agreement.

6.       ADDITIONAL SERVICES

         DWSS may make  available  certain  services  to Licensee in addition to
         those  described in Exhibit "A" which are included  within the Charges.
         Such  additional  services  shall be offered to Licensee  and all other
         users of the Property,  for a charge (depending upon the type and usage
         of the service) as published from time to time.

7.       SURRENDER

         Licensee  agrees to and shall,  on expiration or sooner  termination of
         this  Agreement or of any extended  term hereof,  promptly  deliver the
         Office to DWSS without demand therefore and in good condition, ordinary
         wear and tear  excepted.  DWSS  shall have the right to show the Office
         during  the sixty (60) day period  prior to the  scheduled  termination
         date of this  Agreement.  Failure  to  deliver  the  Office  to DWSS as
         required  herein may result in damages to DWSS which are  difficult  if
         not impossible to ascertain.  Accordingly,  if the Office is not timely
         delivered to DWSS, Licensee will pay as damages,  and not as a penalty,
         an amount equal to 175% of the last monthly  Charges due  hereunder for
         all or any part of any month during which Licensee continues to use the
         Office following  termination of this Agreement.  Failure to remove any
         personal  belongings  of Licensee  will be deemed  continued use of the
         Office.


                                                                 PLEASE INITIAL

8.       DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         (a)      Charges  are due in advance on or before the first day of each
                  month and become delinquent  thereafter and are subject to all
                  lawful late charges and/or interest.

         (b)      Licensee  shall not allow the  Charges to be in  arrears  more
                  than five (5) days after written notice of such delinquency or
                  if Licensee shall remain in default under any other  condition
                  of this  Agreement for a period of ten (10) days after written
                  notice,  DWSS may terminate  this Agreement and remove special
                  computer or  communication  lines installed for the benefit of
                  Licensee, without being deemed to have committed any manner of
                  trespass,  and may enter into an agreement  with a third party
                  for the use of the  Office  or any part  thereof,  at any time
                  thereafter,  with monthly Charges as DWSS may, with reasonable
                  diligence, be able to secure. DWSS will be entitled to collect
                  damages  equal to the  difference  between  the  amount  which
                  Licensee owed for the remainder of the term of this  Agreement
                  and the amount  which  Licensee  proves DWSS could  reasonably
                  receive  as charges  from a third  party for use of the Office
                  and  provision  of the  Services  for such period of time.  In
                  addition,   DWSS  will  be  entitled  to  recover  as  damages
                  following any such  default,  an amount equal to all costs and
                  expenses  incurred  in  enforcing  its  rights  hereunder,  in
                  entering  into a new  agreement  with a third party for use of
                  the Office, costs associated with making the office usable for
                  such third  party's use, plus interest on all of the foregoing
                  amounts  at a rate equal to 12% in excess of the prime rate of
                  interest  charged by Norwest Bank of Denver,  N.A. to its most
                  creditworthy  clients.  If  Licensee  has  left  any  personal
                  property  in the  Office,  DWSS  may take  possession  of such
                  personal  property and sell the same at public or private sale
                  after giving Licensee  written notice of the time and place of
                  any  public  sale or of the time and  place  after  which  any
                  private sale is to be made,  for such prices and on such terms
                  as DWSS deems appropriate. The proceeds of such sales shall be
                  applied  first to the  payment of any  Charges  past due under
                  this  Agreement and then to necessary  and proper  expenses of
                  removing, storing and selling such property, with the balance,
                  if any, to be applied against damages  suffered as a result of
                  Licensee's default hereunder.  All rights and remedies of DWSS
                  under  this  Agreement  shall be  cumulative,  and none  shall
                  exclude  any other right or remedy of law.  DWSS is  expressly
                  given the right to assign  any or all of its  interests  under
                  the terms of this Agreement.

         (c)      It is  expressly  agreed  that  in the  event  of  default  by
                  Licensee  hereunder,  DWSS  shall  have a lien upon all goods,
                  chattels or personal property of any description  belonging to
                  Licensee  which are placed in, or become  part of, the Office,
                  as  security  for  Charges  due  and to  become  due  for  the
                  remainder of the Term of this Agreement,  which lien shall not
                  be in lieu of or any way  affect any  statutory  lien given by
                  law, which shall be cumulative  thereof;  and Licensee  hereby
                  grants DWSS a security  interest in all such personal property
                  placed in the Office for such purposes.

         available  following a default hereunder,  and no acceptance of full or
         partial payment during the continuance of any default will constitute a
         waiver of any such default or any such term or condition.  No waiver of
         any  default  will  affect  or  alter  any  term or  condition  in this
         Agreement, and each such term or condition shall continue in full force
         and  effect  with  respect  to any other then  existing  or  subsequent
         default hereunder.

14.      EMPLOYMENT OF EMPLOYEES

         Licensee  agrees  not  to  offer  or  have  offered  employment  to any
         employees,  or to employ any  employees of DWSS during the Term of this
         Agreement  or any  extension  thereof  or for a  period  of six  months
         following the termination of this Agreement.  Because of the difficulty
         of ascertaining  exact damages,  there shall be payable to DWSS the sum
         of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00)  liquidated damages for each such
         breach.

15.      RULES AND REGULATIONS

         The rules and  regulations  attached to this  instrument as Exhibit "B"
         are made a part hereof by  reference  and are an integral  part of this
         Agreement.  Licensee,  its  employees,  contractors  and  agents,  will
         perform and abide by the rules and  regulations  and any  amendments or
         additions to said rules and regulations as DWSS may make. Failure to so
         comply will constitute a default hereunder.

16.      GENERAL

         This  Agreement  embodies  the entire  agreement  between  the  parties
         relative  to the  subject  matter  hereof,  and shall not be  modified,
         changed, or altered in any respect except in writing.

17.      RELOCATION OF THE OFFICE

         For the purpose of maintaining an economical and proper distribution of
         users  throughout the Property  acceptable to DWSS,  DWSS has the right
         from time to time  during  the term of this  Agreement  to  change  the
         office  designated  as the  Office for use by  Licensee  subject to the
         following terms and conditions:

         (a)      The size of the new  location  is  approximately  equal to the
                  existing  Office  (subject to a variation of up to ten percent
                  (10%)  provided the Charges  payable under this  Agreement are
                  not increased;  if the size of the new location varies by more
                  than ten percent  (10%),  the  Agreement may be amended by the
                  parties on such terms and conditions as they deem acceptable;

         (b)      If the then prevailing portion of the Charges  attributable to
                  use of the new  location  are less than the amount  being paid
                  for use of the existing location,  the Charges will be reduced
                  to equal the then prevailing Charges for the new location;

         (c)      DWSS shall pay the cost of providing any  improvements  in the
                  new location  comparable,  in its opinion, to the improvements
                  in the existing location;

         (d)      DWSS  shall  deliver  to  Licensee  written  notice  of DWSS's
                  election to relocate the Office,  specifying  the new location
                  and the Charges  payable  therefore  at least 30 days prior to
                  the date the relocation is to be effective.  If the relocation
                  of the Office is not  acceptable  to Licensee,  Licensee for a
                  period of 10 days after  receipt of DWSS's  notice to relocate
                  shall have the right (by delivering  written notice to DWSS to
                  terminate this  Agreement  effective 30 days after delivery of
                  written notice to DWSS).

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  DWSS and  Licensee  have caused this  Agreement to be duly
executed as of the date first written above.
