released from any obligations and damages due under the lease prior to
termination, and the Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter the
leased premises and to remove all persons and property therefrom and this Lease

<PAGE> 12
court shall be entitled to the possession thereof. Upon the termination of said
Lease, Landlord shall have the right top retain as partial damages, and not as a
penalty, any prepaid rents and any security deposited by Tenant hereunder and
Landlord shall also be entitled to exercise such rights and remedies to recover
from Tenant as damages such amounts as specified in this section and as allowed
by law.
20. LATE CHARGES: All rental payments shall be due and payable at the
office of the Landlord on the first of each month and shall be considered late

shall also give Landlord ninety (90) days written notice that the Tenant intends
to quit the premises at the original date of expiration of the Lease or of any
renewal of the Lease term under the conditions of this paragraph.
21. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD: It is agreed that if the Tenant shall fail to
pay the rent, for period in excess of five business days after written notice
thereof or any installments thereof as aforesaid, at the time the same shall
become due and payable and/or any additional rent as herein provided although no
demand, or if the Tenant within twenty days after written notice thereof shall
violate or fail or neglect to keep and perform any of the material covenants,
conditions and agreements herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept
and performed or if the demised premises shall become vacant or deserted, then
and in each and every such event from thenceforth, and all times thereafter, at
the option of the Landlord, the Tenant's right of possession shall thereupon
cease and the Landlord shall be entitled to the possession of the demised
premises and to re-enter the same without demand of rent or demand of possession
of said premises and may forthwith proceed to recover possession of the demised
premises by process of law, any notice to quit, or of intention to re-enter the
same being hereby expressly waived by the Tenant. And, in the event of such
re-entry by process of law or otherwise, the Tenant nevertheless agrees to
remain answerable for any and all damage, deficiency or
- 10 -
<PAGE> 13
loss of rent which the Landlord may sustain by such re-entry, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and in such case, the Landlord
reserves full power, which is hereby acceded to by the Tenant, to relet the said
premises for the benefit of Tenant, in liquidation and discharge, in whole or in
part, as the cause may be, of liability of the Tenant under the terms and
provisions of this Lease.
In the event of a default on payment of rent by the Tenant, Landlord
has the option of (a) re-entering the premises pursuant to the above terms of
this paragraph and considering the Lease term terminated at which point the
Tenant shall remain responsible for any outstanding rent due, plus any damages,
or deficiencies suffered by the Landlord as a result of said re-entry, including
reasonable attorneys fee and court costs; (b) enter and re-let the premises
without considering the Lease terminated and apply said rentals received from
any new Tenant on the lease as a credit to be applied to the balance owed by the
original Tenant during the remaining term of the Lease; (c) seek no re-entry and
seek recovery of accrued rent in successive suits; or (d) after appropriate
written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant of said default, the Landlord, at
its option, may declare all of the rent for the then current term of the Lease
as due and payable, whether or not such rent has accrued, and Landlord, and its
agents shall have the right to re-enter and resume possession of the property,
and also to re-let the property as agent for Tenant for any unexpired balance of
the then current term and receive the rent arising from such re-letting. Under
this alternative, no such entry or re-letting shall constitute either a
surrender or termination of this lease except at the option of Landlord or
deprive Landlord of any other right, action, or proceeding for rent, possession,
or damages by statute or otherwise. However, if the Landlord does activate its
option to accelerate said rent, then any suit or litigation commenced under this
option shall be for recovery of this entire outstanding amount of rent for the
current term minus any credits for re-letting and Landlord will be barred from
seeking multiple suits to recover any outstanding rent.
- 11 -
<PAGE> 14
And it is further provided, that if, under the provisions hereof, a
seven (7) day summons or other applicable summary process shall be served, and a
compromise or settlement thereof shall be made, it shall not be construed as a
waiver of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained
and that no waiver of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement itself,
or of any subsequent breach thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed
to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by
Landlord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than
the monthly installments of rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other
than an account of the earliest stipulated rent nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent
be deemed in accord and satisfaction, and the Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to the Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.
22. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR CASUALTY: In case of damage by fire or other
casualty to the demised premises or any part thereof, the Landlord shall have
reasonable time within which to repair and restore the damaged portion of said
premises, then during the period that the Tenant is deprived of the use of the
damaged portion of said premises, the Tenant shall be required to pay rental
covering only that part of the premises that it is able to occupy, the rent for
the remaining space shall be that portion of the total rent which the amount of
square foot area remaining that can be occupied bears to the total square foot
of all the premises covered by this lease. If during the term of this lease the
premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty as to be untenantable,
then, unless said damage be repaired within ninety (90) days thereafter as
herein specified, either party hereto, upon written notice to the other party
given at any time following the expiration of the ninety (90) days after said
fire or other casualty, may terminate this lease, in which case the rent shall
be apportioned and paid to the date of said fire or other casualty. No
compensation, or claim or diminution
- 12 -
<PAGE> 15
of rent will be allowed, or paid, by Landlord, by reason of inconvenience,
annoyance, or injury to business, arising from the necessity of repairing the
demised premises or any portion of the building of which they are a part;
however, the necessity may occur.

or underlying leases and to all mortgages and/or deeds of trust which may now or
hereafter affect such leases or the real property of which the demised premises
form a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements

instrument of subordination should be required by any mortgage or trustee. In
confirmation of all such subordination Tenant shall execute promptly any
certificate that the Landlord may request. Tenant hereby constitutes and
appoints Landlord the Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate
or certificates for and on behalf of the Tenant. Provided, however, that

have the right to recognize this lease and, in the event of any foreclosure sale
under such deed of trust, this lease shall continue in full force and effect at
the option of the party secured by such deed of trust or the purchaser under any
such foreclosure sale; and the Tenant covenants and agrees that it will, at the
written request of the party secured by such deed of trust, execute, acknowledge
and delivery any instrument that has for its purpose and effect the
subordination of said deed of trust to the lien of this lease.
24. EMINENT DOMAIN: Tenant agrees that if the said premises, or any
part thereof, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose by any competent authority, Tenant shall have no claim against the
Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that
may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation; and all
right of the Tenant to damages therefore, if any, are hereby assigned by the
Tenant to the Landlord. And upon such condemnation or taking, the term of this
lease may be terminated by Landlord from the date of such governmental taking or
condemnation, and the Tenant shall haven o claim against the Landlord for the
value of any unexpired term of this lease.

Tenant beyond the initial term for one (1) three (3) year period upon Tenant
delivering written notice of such renewal to Landlord ninety (90) days prior to
the expiration of the initial term of this lease. All other terms, conditions,
covenants and provisions of this lease shall remain in full force and effect
during the option period. The rental rate shall be determined upon Landlord's
receipt of notice to extend the lease as herein described.
27. HOLDING OVER: If the Tenant shall, with the knowledge and consent
of the Landlord, continue to remain in the premises after the expiration of the
term of the lease, then and in that event, Tenant shall, by virtue of this
agreement become a Tenant by the month at one and one-half the rental per month
of the monthly installment of rent agreed by the said Tenant to be paid as
aforesaid, commencing said monthly tenancy with the first day next after the end
of the term above demised; and said Tenant shall give to the Landlord at least
ninety (90) days' written notice of any intention to quit said premises, and
Tenant shall be entitled to thirty (30) days' written notice to quit said
premises, except in the event of nonpayment of rent in advance or of the breach
of any other covenant by the said Tenant, in which event the said Tenant shall
not be entitled to any notice to quit, the usual thirty (30) days' notice to
quit being hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that in the event that
the Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the term hereby created, and
if the Landlord shall desire to regain possession of said premises promptly at
the expiration of the term aforesaid, then at any time prior to the Landlord's
acceptance of rent from the
- 14 -
<PAGE> 17
Tenant as a monthly Tenant hereunder, the Landlord, at its option, may forthwith
re-enter and take possession of said premises without process, or by any legal
process in force.
28. POSSESSION: If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the
demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof by reason of
the fact that the premises are located in a building being constructed and which
has not been sufficiently completed to make the premises ready for occupancy, or

if the Landlord is unable to give possession of the demised premises on the date
of commencement of the term hereof by reason of the holding over or retention of
possession of any Tenant or occupancy, or if repairs, improvements or decoration
of the demised premises, or of the building of which the demised premises form a
part, are not completed, or for any other reasons, Landlord shall not be subject
to any liability for failure to give possession on said date. Under such
circumstances the rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not
commence until the possession of demised premises is given or the premises are
available for occupancy by Tenant, and no such failure to give possession on the
date of commencement of the term shall in any other respect affect the validity
of this lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, nor shall same be
construed in any way to extend the term of this lease. If permission is given to
Tenant to enter into the possession of the demised premises or to occupy
premises other than the demised premises prior to the date specified as the
commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such
occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this lease.
29. RIGHT TO ENTER: The Landlord shall have the right to enter the
demised premises at all reasonable hours to examine the same as well as to make
any alterations and repairs to the demised premises or to the building, Landlord
covenants that such entry shall occur at such times as to cause minimum
interference with Tenant's business operations. During the last three months
preceding the termination of this Lease, the Landlord shall have
- 15 -

the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours to exhibit the same
for rental.
30. WRITTEN SPACE PLAN APPROVAL: It is agreed that the Tenant will
furnish to the Landlord its partition, electric, telephone and all other

submission of working drawings, the Tenant shall approve same in writing. In the
event Tenant fails to comply with either of the aforesaid by the date within the
time specified, any delay in completing the demised premises shall not in any
manner affect commencement date of this lease or the Tenant's liability for the
payment of rent from such commencement date, and under such circumstances
Landlord agrees to make the demised premises ready for Tenant's occupancy no
later than the commencement date of this lease, plus the number of days delay
resulting from Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
31. ENVIRONMENTAL CLAUSE:
(1) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be
brought upon, kept or used in or about the leased premises by Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors or invitees without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold as long as Tenant
demonstrates to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Material
is necessary or useful to Tenant's business and will be used, stored and
disposed of in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such
Hazardous Material so brought upon or used or kept in or about the leased
premises. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence,
or if the presence of Hazardous Material on the leased premises caused or
permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the leased premises, or if
contamination of the leased premises by Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for
which Tenant is legally liable to Landlord for damage resulting therefrom, then
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all
claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses
(including, without limitation, diminution in value of the leased
- 16 -

premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space
or any amenity of the Premises, damages arising from any advertise impact on
marketing of space, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees,
consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the lease term as a
result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant
includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any
investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or
restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or
political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or
ground water on or under the leased premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if
the presence of any Hazardous Material on the leased premises caused or
permitted by Tenant result in any contamination of the leased premises, Tenant
shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return
the leased premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any
such Hazardous Material to the leased premises; provided that Landlord's
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not
potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the
leased premises. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
(2) As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any
hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste, including, but not limited to,
those substances, materials and wastes listed in the United States Department of
Transportation Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101) or by the

amendments thereto, or such substances, materials and wastes that are or become
regulated under any applicable local, state or federal law.
(3) Disclosure. At the commencement of this Lease, and on
January 1 of each year thereafter, including January 1 of the year after the
termination of this lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord the names and
amounts of all Hazardous Materials, or any combination thereof, which were
stored, used or disposed of on the leased premises, or which Tenant intends to
store, use or dispose of on the leased premises.
- 17 -
<PAGE> 20
(4) Inspection. Landlord and its Agents shall have the right,
but not the duty, to inspect the leased premises at any time to determine
whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Lease. If Tenant is not in
compliance with this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediately enter
upon the leased premises to remedy any contamination caused by Tenant's failure
to comply notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease. Landlord shall use
its best efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business but shall not
be liable for any interference caused thereby.
(5) Default. Any default under this Paragraph shall be
material default enabling Landlord to exercise any of the remedies set forth in
this Lease.
32. WRITTEN CHANGES: It is understood and agreed that if the Tenant
requires extra facilities, finishes, or services above and beyond the
requirements for standard office space as shown in the Landlord's standard
allowances, the Tenant will be responsible for the payment of any additional
costs. It is further agreed that if the Tenant elects to provide the extra
facilities, finishes, or services in lieu of the Landlord's provision of
standard facilities, finishes, or services the Landlord will provide the Tenant
an offset allowance for the work not done by the Landlord. All such changes
shall be in writing signed by both parties.
33. GENDER: Feminine or neuter pronouns shall be substituted for those

suffered by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant. Should the entire
deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the

this lease, or upon earlier termination, or retaking by Landlord, and Tenant has
failed to keep and perform
