     7.  Compliance:  Indemnification.  Subtenant shall neither cause nor suffer
any act or  omission  that  would  cause the  Prime  Lease to be  terminated  or
forfeited  because of any right of termination or forfeiture  reserved or vested
in the Prime Landlord, and Subtenant will indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord
harmless  against  all  claims of any kind by reason of any breach or default on
the part of or by Subtenant's officers, agents, employees, contractors, invitees
or licensees, by reason on which the Prime Lease may be terminated or forfeited.
Subtenant  represents  that it has read and is  familiar  with the  terms of the
Prime Lease.

     Sublandlord agrees that Sublandlord will not (i) take any action or omit to
take any action  which would  constitute a voluntary  surrender  under the First
Sublease or a default  thereunder  resulting in the termination of this Sublease
and/or  Subtenant's  eviction hereunder or (ii) amend the First Sublease without
the consent of Subtenant. Sublandlord agrees to pay in a timely fashion the base
rent,  additional  rent and any other charges  payable by  Sublandlord  to First
Sublandlord  under the First  Sublease and to comply with all other  obligations
under the First Sublease and the Prime Lease.

     8. Hold  Harmless.  Subtenant  hereby agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold
Prime Landlord and  Sublandlord  harmless  against all costs,  damages,  claims,
liabilities  and  expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  attorneys'  fees)
suffered by or claimed against  Sublandlord,  directly or indirectly,  based on,
arising  out of or  resulting  from (i)  Subtenant's  use and  occupancy  of the
Premises  or the  business  conducted  by  Subtenant  therein,  (ii)  any act of
omission by Subtenant or Subtenant's agents, officers,  employees,  contractors,
invitees  or  licensees,  or (iii) any  breach or default  by  Subtenant  in the
performance  or observance of its covenants or  obligations  under this Sublease
(including the covenants and  obligations of the Subtenant under the Prime Lease
as incorporated herein).

     9.  Assignment:  Subletting.  Subtenant  shall not assign this  Sublease or
sublet  the  Premises  in whole or in part,  and  shall not  permit  Subtenant's
interest  in this  Sublease  to be  encumbered  or vested in any third  party by
operation  of law or  otherwise,  unless prior  written  approval is obtained by
Sublandlord, First Sublandlord and Prime Landlord.

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,  Subtenant shall
have the right (upon written notice to Sublandlord,  First Sublandlord and Prime
Landlord),  without the  requirement of obtaining any of such parties'  consent,
(i) to assign this Sublease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to an
entity which is the parent of Subtenant,  subsidiary of Subtenant,  affiliate of
Subtenant, or shall directly or indirectly control, be controlled by or be under
common  control with  Subtenant  and (ii) to assign this  Sublease in connection

(excluding  the option to terminate  pursuant to Section 13 of the Prime Lease),
shall be applicable to this Sublease Agreement with the same force and effect as
if  Sublandlord  were the lessor  under the Prime Lease and  Subtenant  were the
lessee  thereunder;  and in case of any breach by Subtenant,  Sublandlord  shall
have all the  rights  against  Subtenant  as would be  available  to the  lessor

     14. Binding Agreement.  The covenants and agreements herein contained shall
bind and insure to the benefit of Sublandlord,  Subtenant,  and their respective
executors, administrators, successors and assigns; however, this provision shall
not be deemed to authorize any violation of Section 9 hereof.

     15. Complete Agreement. All prior understandings and agreements between the
parties  are merged  within  this  Sublease  Agreement,  which  alone  fully and
completely sets forth the  understanding  of the parties,  and this Sublease may
not be changed or terminated  orally or in any manner other than by an agreement
in writing and signed by the party  against  whom  enforcement  of the change or
termination is sought.

     Sublandlord  represents  and  warrants  to  Subtenant  that the Prime Lease
attached hereto as Exhibit A and the First Sublease attached hereto as Exhibit B
are true,  correct and  complete  copies  thereof.  Sublandlord  represents  and
warrants to Subtenant that, to Sublandlord's  knowledge, (i) there is no default
by either Prime Landlord or First Sublandlord under the Prime Lease or by either
First  Sublandlord  or  Sublandlord  under the First Sublease and (ii) the Prime
Lease and the First Sublease are in full force and effect.

Sublandlord  a security  deposit in the amount of Seven  Thousand  Eight Hundred

for  the  payment  and  performance  by  Subtenant  of all  of its  obligations,
covenants,  conditions and agreements hereunder.  The Security Deposit shall not
be considered a prepayment of rent or a limit on Subtenant's liability under the
Sublease or as liquidated  damages. If there is an event of default by Subtenant
hereunder,  Sublandlord  shall have the right,  but shall not be  obligated,  to
apply the Security Deposit as is reasonably  necessary to cure such default,  in
which event Subtenant shall be obligated to promptly  deliver to Sublandlord the
cash amount  necessary to restore the Security  Deposit to its original  amount,
the  Subtenant's  failure to do so within  ten (10) days after  notice of demand
therefor  from  Sublandlord  shall  constitute  an event of  default  under  the
Sublease  entitling  Sublandlord  without  further notice to all of its remedies
under the Sublease;  provided,  however, such defaults and Subtenant's liability
under the Sublease  shall  thereby be  discharged  only pro tanto and  Subtenant
shall  remain  liable  for any  amounts  that  said  Security  Deposit  shall be
insufficient  to pay.  Sublandlord  agrees to return  the  Security  Deposit  to
Subtenant within fifteen (15) days of the Sublease Expiration Date. In addition,
Sublandlord  agrees to pay  Subtenant  all  accrued  interest  collected  on the
Security Deposit, net of taxes.

     17. Brokers.  Upon execution of this Sublease by both parties,  Sublandlord
shall pay to Grubb and Ellis a commission  as set forth in a separate  agreement
between  Sublandlord  and said  brokers,  for  brokerage  services  rendered  to
Sublandlord in this transaction.  Except as aforesaid, the parties represent and
warrant to each  other  that they have  dealt with no other  broker or finder in
connection with this transaction.

     18. Prime Landlord's and First Sublandlord's  Consent. It is understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that acceptance of this Sublease by the Sublandlord
shall be subject to the consent of the Prime Landlord  pursuant to Section 20 of
the Prime Lease and of the First  Sublandlord  pursuant  to the First  Sublease.
Sublandlord shall not be liable in any manner to Subtenant should Prime Landlord
or First  Sublandlord  reject the  Sublandlord's  request  for  approval of this
Sublease.  Subtenant shall use reasonable  efforts to cooperate with Sublandlord
to provide the  information  required  by Prime  Landlord  with  respect to this
Sublease.   Sublandlord   hereby   acknowledges  to  First   Sublandlord   that,
notwithstanding  this  Sublease,  Sublandlord  shall  in no way be  released  or
relieved,  in whole or part, from  Sublandlord's  covenants as "Subtenant" under
the First Sublease.  In the event Prime Landlord or First Sublandlord refuses to
consent  to this  Sublease,  then upon ten (10) days  following  written  notice
thereof from Sublandlord,  Subtenant shall vacate the Premises.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that Subtenant fails to vacate the Premises,  within
such ten (10) day period (i) Prime Landlord or Sublandlord may forthwith reenter
and take  possession of said Premises,  and (ii) Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord
an amount  equal to twice the monthly  payment of Basic  Monthly  Rent in effect
immediately  prior to the expiration of the Term,  however,  the foregoing shall
not be deemed to limit  Subtenant's  liability arising from any wrongful holding
over. This Sublease may be executed in two or more  counterparts,  each of which
when incorporated together shall constitute an original.
