      For July, 2001, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon execution of this
      Sublease and of the Lessor's consent an amount equal to $18,930.00. In the

      either the Sublessor or the Sublessee may cancel this Sublease without any

      Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor upon Lessor's consent to this
      Sublease $22,570 as a Cash Security Deposit, in accordance with Section 5
      of the Master Lease, and Sublessee shall also post, upon Lessor's consent

      Sublessee shall renew such Letter of Credit annually and provide Sublessor
      written confirmation of the renewal of such Letter of Credit no later than
      ninety (90) days

<PAGE>

      prior to its expiration. Any failure to renew the Letter of Credit or to
      provide such 90 days advance notice will be deemed an event of default
      under this Sublease. The Letter of Credit may be drawn upon only to cure,
      and only to the actual extent of an actual economic default of the
      Sublessee. Subject to the amount and time frame set forth above, the
      mechanics with respect to said Letter of Credit shall be in accordance
      with Sections 5.2 (a) and (c) of the Master Lease. Such Letter of Credit
      will be reduced on the first anniversary of such Letter of Credit to

      partial months shall be prorated on a per diem basis based on the actual
      number of days in the month in which the Sublease commences and ends. For
      purposes of this Sublease, "Base Year" shall mean calendar year 2000, and
      Sublessee's Tenant's Percentage shall be 8.4%. Sublessee's Tenant's
      Percentage is determined by dividing 10,345 of rentable square feet in
      Subleased Premises by 122,798, the rentable square feet of the Building
      and expressing the result as a percentage. Sublessee shall pay Sublessee's
      Tenant's Percentage of Direct Expenses and Utilities Costs in the same
      manner as set forth in, and pursuant to the terms of, Article 4 of the
      Master Lease. In no event shall Sublessee's obligation to pay Direct
      Expenses and Utilities Costs exceed Sublessee's Tenant's Percentage share
      of Direct Expenses and Utilities Costs due and payable by Sublessor under
      the Master Lease. Sublessee shall pay Sublessee's Tenant's Percentage of
      Direct Expenses and Utilities Costs as and when the same is due and
      payable to Lessor under the Master Lease and no earlier. Sublessee shall
      be entitled to its pro rata share of all credits, if any, given by Lessor
      to Sublessor for Sublessor's and/or Sublessee's overpayment of Direct
      Expenses and Utilities Costs. Sublessee shall be entitled to, and benefit
      from, any rental abatement granted Sublessor under the Master Lease for
      whatever reason to the extent that such abatement relates to the Subleased
      Premises and the Sublease term. Sublessee shall be permitted to request
      after-hours air conditioning services, and the actual amounts for such
      services that are charged to Sublessor will be paid by Sublessee.

8.    MAINTENANCE.

      Sublessee shall have all maintenance obligations of the tenant under the
      Master Lease applicable to the Subleased Premises. Sublessor shall have no
      maintenance or repair obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises.

9.    PERSONAL PROPERTY.

      During the Term of the Sublease, Sublessee shall be allowed to use the
      items of personal property (e.g. furniture, cubicles, etc.) currently
      located in the Subleased Premises and as listed and described on Exhibit
      C. Sublessee shall keep all such items in good condition and repair and
      return same to Sublessor at the end of the Term, subject to ordinary wear
      and tear. Any modifications to such items shall be subject to the prior
      written approval of Sublessor; provided, however, that in the event any
      such modifications are approved, such items shall be returned to Sublessor
      at the end of the Sublease Term with such approved modifications intact.
      The parties agree that $2,733 of the monthly Basic Rent shall be allocated
      to the lease of personal property referenced in this Section 9.

10.   OTHER PROVISIONS OF SUBLEASE.

      All applicable terms and conditions of the Master Lease are incorporated
      into and made a part of this Sublease as if Sublessor were the lessor
      thereunder, Sublessee the lessee thereunder, and the Subleased Premises
      the Master Premises. Sublessee assumes and agrees to perform the lessee's
      obligations under the Master Lease during the Term to the extent that such
      obligations are applicable to the Subleased Premises, except that the
      obligation to pay rent to Lessor under the Master Lease shall be
      considered performed by Sublessee to the extent and in the amount rent is
      paid to Sublessor in accordance with Section 7 of this Sublease. The
      parties agree that the Waiver of Subrogation set forth in Section 22(i)
      shall apply as between Sublessor and Sublessee notwithstanding anything to
      the contrary in the Sublease or Master Lease. Sublessee shall not commit
      or suffer any act or omission that will violate any of the provisions of
      the Master Lease. Sublessor shall exercise due diligence in attempting to
      cause Lessor to perform its obligations under the Master Lease for the
      benefit of Sublessee. If the Master Lease terminates for any reason
      other than a default by Sublessor as Tenant under the Master Lease, this
      Sublease shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of any further
      liability or obligation under this Sublease. If the Master Lease
      terminates for a default by Sublessor as Tenant under the Master Lease,
      this Sublease shall terminate except as otherwise agreed to by Lessor and
      Sublessee, and Sublessor shall not be relieved of any liability or
      obligation under this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
      Master Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Master Lease in
      the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of
      the Master Premises or the building or project of which the Master
      Premises are a part, the exercise of such right by Sublessor shall not
      constitute a default or breach hereunder. If Lessor seeks to terminate the
      Master Lease because of a default or alleged default by Sublessor under
      the Master Lease, Sublessor shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to
      maintain the Master Lease in full force and effect for the benefit of
      Sublessee and Sublessor and to reinstate the Master Lease and/or to claim
      and pursue any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture of the Master
      Lease (and as a consequence thereof any forfeiture of the Sublease) to
      which Sublessor may be entitled at law or in equity.
