All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.

                             LANDMARK BUILDING LEASE



1. PARTIES. This Lease dated, for reference purposes only, July 20, 1993, by and
between LANDMARK INVESTMENTS,  LIMITED ("Landlord") and SOFTWARE PARTNERS,  INC.
("Tenant"), who agree as follows:

2.  PREMISES.  Landlord  leases to Tenant,  and Tenant  leases from Landlord the
office space  located in Mountain  View,  California,  94043,  described as 2013
Landings L\Drive, outlined in Exhibit "A" ("Premises").  Premises have an agreed
area o  approximately  One Thousand One Hundred and One (1,101)  rentable square
feet.

3. TERM.  The term of this Lease  shall be for three (3)  years,  commencing  on
September 1, 1993 and ending on August 31, 1996.

4. RENT.

4.1 Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord  as rent for the  Premises,  without  demand,
deduction,  or off-set,  the sum of One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred Six and 55/100
Dollars  ($1,706.55)  on or before the first day of each and every  month of the
term of this Lease, the first monthly payment to be made  concurrently  with the
execution hereof. If the commencement date is not the first day of a month or if
the  Lease  termination  date is not the last day of a month,  the rent  payable
hereunder shall be prorated,  based upon a thirty day month, at the current rate
for the fractional  month during which this Lease commences  and/or  terminates.
Any rent payable for a partial month directly  following the  commencement  date
shall be payable on the first day of the first full calendar  month of the term.
Rent shall be paid to Landmark  Investments,  limited,  at 2093 Landings  Drive,
Mountain View, CA 94043.

4.2 Rent  provided  for in 4.1 above  shall not be  subject  to  consumer  price
adjustments.

4.3 Late  Charges.  Tenant  hereby  acknowledges  that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder  will cause Landlord to incur costs
not  contemplated  by this Lease,  the exact  amount of which will be  extremely
difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include,  


                                        1
<PAGE>


but are not limited to,  processing  and  accounting  charges,  and late charges
which may be  imposed  upon  Landlord  by terms of any  mortgage  or trust  deed
covering the Premises.  Accordingly,  if any installment of rent or of a sum due
from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or  Landlord's  designees by 12:00
noon on the fifth (5th) day of each month of the term hereof,  then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount.
The parties hereby agree that such late charges  represent a fair and reasonable
estimate of the cost that  Landlord  will incur by reason of the late payment by
Tenant.  Acceptance  of such  late  charges  by the  Landlord  shall in no event
constitute a waiver of

Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount,  nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

5.  SECURITY  DEPOSIT.  On  execution of this Lease,  Tenant shall  deposit with
Landlord  $1,706.55 as a security  deposit for the  performance by Tenant of the
provisions of this Lease. If Tenant is in default, Landlord can use the security
deposit, or any portion of it, to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for
all damage sustained by Landlord  resulting from Tenant's default.  Tenant shall
immediately on demand pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the security
deposit  expended or applied by Landlord as provided in this  paragraph so as to
maintain the security deposit in the sum initially  deposited with Landlord.  If
Tenant  is not in  default  at the  expiration  or  termination  of this  Lease,
Landlord  shall,  no later than  fourteen  (14) days after lease  expiration  or
termination,  return to Tenant (or at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of
Tenant's  interest  hereunder),  the balance of the security  deposit.  Landlord
shall not be required to keep this  security  deposit  separate from its general
funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit.

6. POSSESSION.

6.1 If Landlord,  for any reason  cannot  deliver  possession of the Premises on
Tenant at the  commencement of the term hereof,  this Lease shall not be void or
voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom,  nor shall the expiration date of the above term be extended, but, in
that event,  all rent shall be abated during the period between the commencement
of said term and the time when Landlord delivers possession.

6.2 In the event that Landlord  shall permit Tenant to occupy the Premises prior
to the commencement  date of the term, such occupancy shall be subject to all of
the  provisions  of this Lease and said early  possession  shall not advance the
termination  date hereinabove  provided.  Rent shall be prorated and prepaid for
early occupancy at the current rate.

purposes  and for no other  purpose  without  the prior  written  consent of the
Landlord.

7.2 Uses Prohibited.

a. Tenant  shall not do or permit  anything to be done in or about the  Premises
nor bring or keep  anything  therein  which will  increase the existing  rate or
affect any fire or other insurance upon the building or any of its contents,  or
cause a cancellation of any insurance  policy covering said building or any part
thereof or any of its contents,  nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be kept used
or sold in or about said  Premises any articles or  substances,  inflammable  or
otherwise, which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire insurance.

which will in any way obstruct or interfere  with the rights of other tenants of
the building or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for
any unlawful or objectionable purpose.

c. Tenant shall not use the  Premises or permit  anything to be done in or about
the Premises  which will in any way conflict  with any law now in force or which

board  of  fire   underwriters  or  other  similar  body  relating  to  Tenant's
improvements or acts.

8.  ALTERATIONS  AND ADDITION.  Tenant shall not make or allow any  alterations,
additions or improvements of or to the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent.  Any such alterations,  additions or improvements,  including,  but not
limited to,  wallcovering,  paneling and built-in  cabinet  work,  but excepting
movable furniture and trade fixtures,  shall become a part of the realty,  shall
belong to the Landlord and shall be surrendered  with the Premises at expiration
or  termination  of the Lease.  If Landlord  consents  to any such  alterations,
additions or  improvements  by Tenant,  they shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's
cost, and any contractor or person  selected by Tenant to perform the work shall
first be approved  of, in  writing,  by  Landlord.  Upon  expiration,  or sooner
termination  of the term hereof,  Tenant shall,  upon written demand by Landlord
promptly remove any  alterations,  additions or improvements  made by Tenant and
designated  by Landlord to be removed.  Such removal and repair of any damage to
the premises caused by such removal shall be at Tenant's cost.

9. LIENS.  Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises
are situated  free from any liens arising out of any work  performed,  materials
furnished or  obligations  incurred by Tenant.  Landlord  may require  Tenant to
provide  Landlord,  at Tenant's  cost, a lien and  completion  bond in an amount
equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of any  improvements,
additions,  or alterations by Tenant,  to insure Landlord against  liability for
mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure completion for the work.

10. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.  By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall
be  deemed  to have  accepted  the  Premises  as being in good  sanitary  order,
condition and repair. Tenant shall at Tenant's cost, keep the premises and every
part thereof in good  condition and repair except for damages from causes beyond
the  control  of Tenant  and  ordinary  wear and  tear.  Tenant  shall  upon the
expiration  or sooner  termination  of this Lease  surrender the Premises to the
Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond
the reasonable control of the Tenant excepted.  Unless specifically  provided in
an addendum to this Lease,  Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel,
improve  repair,  decorate  or paint the  Premises  or any part  thereof and the
parties  hereto  affirm that  Landlords  has made no  representations  to Tenant
respecting the condition of the premises or the building  except as specifically
herein set forth.  Notwithstanding  the above provisions,  Landlord shall repair
and maintain the  structural  portions of the  building,  including the standard
plumbing,  air  conditioning,   heating  and  electrical  systems  furnished  by
Landlord,  unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by
the act,  neglect,  fault or  omission  of any duty by the  Tenant,  its agents,
employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable
cost of such maintenance and repairs.  Tenant shall give Landlord written notice
of any required  repairs or  maintenance.  Landlord  shall not be liable for any
failure  to repair or to perform  any  maintenance  unless  such  failure  shall
persist  for  an  unreasonable  time  after  written  notice.   Any  repairs  or
maintenance to  supplemental  cooling  equipment  required for Tenant's  special
needs are the responsibility of Tenant. Except as specifically herein set forth,
there shall be no  abatement  of rent or  liability of Landlord by reason of any
injury to or interference  with Tenant's business arising from the making of any
repairs,  alterations  or  improvements  to any  portion of the  building or the
Premises or to fixtures,  appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives the
right to make repairs at Landlord's  expense under any law, statute or ordinance
now or hereafter in effect.

11. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not, 


                                      4
<PAGE>

voluntarily or by operation of law, assign,  transfer,  or encumber its interest
under this Lease or in the Premises nor sublease all or any part of the premises
or allow any other  person or entity  (except  Tenant's  employees,  agents  and
invitees)  to occupy or use all or any part of the  premises  without  the prior
written  consent  of  Landlord.  Landlord's  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld.  Any such consent shall not release Tenant from  liability  hereunder,
and a consent  to one  assignment,  subletting,  occupation  or use shall not be
deemed a consent to any subsequent  assignment,  subletting,  occupation or use.
Any such  purported  assignment,  subletting,  or  permission  to  occupy or use
without  such consent from  Landlord  shall be void and shall,  at the option of
Landlord,  constitute  a  default  under  this  Lease.  Tenant  immediately  and
irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this
Lease,  all  rent  from  any  subletting  of all or a part  of the  Premises  as
permitted by this Lease, and Landlord,  as assignee and as attorney-in-fact  for
Tenant,  or a receiver  for Tenant  appointed  on  Landlord's  application,  may
collect  such rent and apply it toward  Tenant's  obligations  under this Lease;
except that,  until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant,  Tenant shall
have the right to collect such rent.

12. HOLD HARMLESS.  Except as to claims based on the sole  negligence or willful
misconduct  of Landlord,  its agents or  employees,  Tenant shall hold  Landlord
harmless  from any claims  arising from Tenant's use of the premises or from any
activity  permitted by Tenant in or about the Premises,  and any claims  arising
from any breach or default in Tenant's  performance of any obligation  under the
terms of this  Lease.  If any action or  proceeding  is brought by reason of any
such claim in which Landlord is named as a party,  Tenant shall defend  Landlord
therein at Tenant's  expense by counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to  Landlord.
Landlord and its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property entrusted
to employees of the building, nor for loss or damage to any property by theft or
otherwise,  nor from any injury to or damage to persons  or  property  resulting
from any cause  whatsoever,  unless  caused by or due to the sole  negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, or employees.  Landlord shall not be
liable for any latent  defect in the  Premises or in the  building of which they
are a part.  Tenant  shall give  prompt  notice to  Landlord  in case of fire or
accidents  in the  Premises  or in the  building  or of  alleged  defects in the
building, fixtures or equipment.

13. INSURANCE.

13.1  Coverage.  Tenant shall assume the risk of damage to any fixtures,  goods,
inventory,  merchandise,  equipment,  furniture and leasehold improvements,  and
Landlord  shall not be liable for  injury to  Tenant's  business  or any loss of


                                       5
<PAGE>

income therefrom relative to such damage.  Tenant shall, at all times during the
term of this  Lease,  and at its own cost,  procure  and  continue  in force the
following insurance coverage.

a.  Comprehensive  public  liability  insurance,  insuring  Landlord  and Tenant
against  any  liability  arising  out  of  the  ownership,   use,  occupancy  or
maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto.

13.2  Insurance  Policies.  The  limits of said  insurance  policies  shall not,
however,  limit the  liability  of the Tenant  hereunder.  Tenant may carry said
insurance under a blanket policy,  providing,  however, said insurance by Tenant
shall name  Landlord as an additional  insured.  If Tenant shall fail to procure
and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure
and maintain same, but at the expense of Tenant.  Insurance  required  hereunder
shall be in companies that rate B+ or better in "Best's Insurance Guide". Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord prior to occupancy of the premises  copies of policies
of insurance  required  herein or  certificates  evidencing  the  existence  and
amounts of such insurance with loss payable  clauses,  satisfactory to Landlord.
No policy shall be cancelable  or subject to reduction of coverage  except after
fifteen  (15) days prior  written  notice to  Landlord.  The minimum  acceptable
amount of comprehensive  liability insurance is $1,000,000 against claims in any
occurrence, and property damage insurance in an amount of not less than $100,000
per occurrence,  or combined single limit of $1,000,000  comprehensive liability
and property damage insurance.

13.3  Waiver of  Subrogation.  As long as their  respective  insurers so permit,
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the
other for any loss or damage occasioned to such waiving party or its property of
others  under its  control  to the  extent  that such loss or damage is  insured
against under any fire or extended  coverage  insurance  policy which either may
have in force at the time of such loss or damage.  Each party  shall  obtain any
special  endorsement,  if required by their insurer, to evidence compliance with
the aforementioned waiver.

14. SERVICE AND UTILITIES.

14.1 Landlord's  Obligations.  Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises during
reasonable  hours of generally  recognized  business  days to be  determined  by
Landlord, and subject to the Rules and Regulations of the building,  electricity

conditioning  required  in  Landlord's  judgment  for  the  comfortable  use and
occupancy of the  Premises,  janitorial,  window  washing and elevator  service.

<PAGE>

shall  also  maintain  the common  areas and keep  lighted  the  common  stairs,
gallerias,  entries and toilet room and the  parking  areas until late  evening.
Landlord  shall not be  liable  for and  Tenant  shall  not be  entitled  to any
reduction  of rental  by reason of  Landlord's  failure  to  furnish  any of the
foregoing when such failure is caused by accident,  breakage,  repairs, strikes,
lockouts or other labor  disturbances or labor disputes of any character,  or by
any other  cause,  similar  or  dissimilar,  beyond  the  reasonable  control of
Landlord.

14.2  Tenant's  Obligation.  Tenant  shall pay for,  prior to  delinquency,  all
telephone and all other  materials and  services,  not expressly  required to be
paid by Landlord, which may be furnished to or used in, on or about the Premises
during  the term of this  Lease.  Tenant  will not,  without  the prior  written
consent of Landlord and subject to any conditions which Landlord may impose, use
any  apparatus  or device in the  Premises  which will in any way  increase  the
amount of  electricity  or water  usually  furnished  for use of the Premises as
general office space If Tenant shall require water or electric current in excess
of that usually  furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as general office
space,  Tenant  shall  first  procure  the consent of  Landlord.  Wherever  heat
generating  machines or  equipment  are used in the  Premises  which  affect the
temperature  otherwise  maintained  by the  air  conditioning  system,  Landlord
reserves  the  right to  install  supplementary  air  conditioning  units in the
Premises and the cost thereof,  including the cost  installation,  operation and
maintenance  thereof,  shall  be paid by  Tenant  to  Landlord  upon  demand  by
Landlord.  Landlord shall not be liable for Landlord's failure to furnish any of
the  foregoing  when such failure is caused by any cause  beyond the  reasonable
control of Landlord.  Landlord shall not be liable under any  circumstances  for
loss of or injury to property,  however occurring, in connection with failure to
furnish any of the foregoing.

15. PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay before  delinquency,  all personal property
taxes levied or assessed and which  become  payable  during the term hereof upon
all Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and personal property located in the
Premise.  Landlord shall pay all property taxes on the land and building, except
should the California  Constitution be changed in a way that results in a higher
or lower tax on the Premises than the annual  increases now a matter of law, any
such increase or decrease  shall be passed through to tenant on a prorated basis
as an item separate from any CPI  adjustments.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord its
share of such taxes,  if any,  within  thirty  days after  delivery to Tenant by
Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes.

16. RULES AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant shall faithfully  observe 


                                       7
<PAGE>

and comply with the rules and regulations attached as Exhibit "B" to this Lease,
as well as such  rules and  regulations  that  Landlord  shall from time to time
promulgate. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make all reasonable
modifications to those rules which shall be binding to Tenant upon delivery of a
copy of them to  Tenant.  Landlord  shall not be  responsible  to Tenant for the
nonperformance of any of said rules by any other tenant.

17. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession  without  Landlord's  consent,
after termination of the Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise,  Tenant shall pay
Landlord for each day of such retention  one-fifteenth (1/15th) of the amount of
the monthly rental for the last month prior to such termination and Tenant shall
also pay all costs, expenses and damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such
retention,  including,  without  limitation,  claims made by a succeeding tenant
resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises.

18. ENTRY BY LANDLORD.  Landlord reserves the right to enter the premises at any
time to inspect the  Premises,  to provide  any  service  for which  landlord is
obligated  hereunder,  to submit  the  Premises  to  prospective  purchasers  or
tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility,  and to alter, improve,  maintain
or repair the  Premises or any portion of the building of which the Premises are
a part that  Landlord  deems  necessary or desirable,  all without  abatement of
rent.  Landlord  may erect  scaffolding  and other  necessary  structures  where
reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed,  but shall not
block entrance to the Premises and not interfere with tenant's business,  except
as reasonably required for the particular  activity by Landlord.  Landlord shall
not be  liable  in any  manner  for  any  inconvenience,  disturbance,  loss  of
business,  nuisance,  interference with quiet enjoyment, or other damage arising
out of Landlord's  entry on the Premises as provided in this  paragraph,  except
damage,  if any,  resulting from the negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord
of its  authorized  representative.  Landlord  shall  retain a key with which to
unlock all doors into, within and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults,
safes and files. In an emergency  Landlord shall have the right to use any means
which  Landlord  deems  reasonably  necessary to obtain  entry to the  Premises,
without  liability  to Tenant,  except for any failure to exercise  due care for
Tenant's  property.  Any such entry to the  Premises  by  Landlord  shall not be
construed  or deemed to be forcible or unlawful  entry into or a detainer of the
Premises or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

19. RECONSTRUCTION.  If the Premises or the building of which the Premises are a
part are damaged by fire or other peril covered by extended coverage  insurance,
Landlord agrees to make repairs and restorations to the extent and in the manner
possible  at a cost not  exceeding  the  proceeds of the  


                                       8
<PAGE>

insurance  received by Landlord.  If the cost of repair and restoration  exceeds
the amount of proceeds received from insurance,  Landlord may elect to terminate
this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within twenty (20) days after  determining
that the cost will exceed such  proceeds.  If Landlord  proceeds with repair and
restoration,  this Lease  shall  remain in full force and  effect,  except  that
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs
are being  made.  The rent  reduction  shall be based  upon the  extent to which
repair and restoration activity materially  interferes with Tenant's business at
the Premises,  provided, however, that if the damage was occasioned by the fault
or neglect of Tenant,  its agents or employees,  there shall not be an abatement
of rent.

20.      DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

20.1 Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default
by Tenant:

a.  Failure  by Tenant to pay the rent or other  monies  when  due,  where  such
failure continues or three (3) business days after written notice by Landlord to
Tenant.

b. Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

c.  Failure by Tenant to perform  any other  provision  of this Lease where such
failure to perform is not cured  within  thirty (30) days after  notice has been
given to Tenant;  provided,  however,  that if the nature of the default is such
that the same  cannot  reasonably  be cured  within said thirty (30) day period,
Tenant  shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant  shall within such period
commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.

d. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the
benefit of  creditors;  the filing by or  against  Tenant of a petition  to have
Tenant  adjudged a bankrupt or of a petitio for  reorganization  or  arrangement
under any law relating to bankruptcy  (unless,  in the case of a petition  filed
against Tenant,  same is dismissed  within sixty (60) days; the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of  substantially  all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease,  where possession
is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment,  execution
or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
Premises  or of  Tenant's  interest  in this  Lease,  where such  seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days.

20.2     Remedies.  In the event of any such default Landlord may:


                                       9
<PAGE>

Maintain  this Lease in full force and  effect  and  recover  the rent and other
monetary  charges as they  become due,  without  terminating  Tenant's  right to
possession  irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In
the event  Landlord  elects not to terminate the Lease,  Landlord shall have the
right to attempt to re-let the Premises at such rent and upon such condition and
for such a term,  and to do all acts  necessary  to  maintain  or  preserve  the
Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have
elected to terminate  the Lease,  including  removal of all persons and property
from the Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse
or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such
reletting occurs,  this Lease shall terminate  automatically upon the new tenant
taking possession of the Premises.  Notwithstanding that Landlord fails to elect
to terminate the Lease  initially,  Landlord at any time during the term of this
Lease may elect to terminate  this Lease by virtue of such  previous  default of
Tenant.

Terminate  Tenant's right to possession by any lawful means,  in which case this
Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately  surrender  possession of the
Premises to Landlord.  In such event  Landlord shall be entitled to recover from
Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including
without limitation thereto, the following: (1) the worth at the time of award of
any unpaid rent which  would have been  earned at the time of such  termination;
plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the  unpaid  rent
which would have been earned after  termination  until the time of award exceeds
the amount of such rental  loss that is proved  could have  reasonably  avoided;
plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which  unpaid  rent for
the  balance  of the term  after the time of award  exceeds  the  amount of such
rental  loss  that is proved  could be  reasonably  avoided;  plus (4) any other
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused
by Tenant's failure to perform his obligations  under this Lease or which in the
ordinary  course of events  would be  likely  to result  therefrom;  plus (5) at
Landlord's  election,  such  other  amounts  in  addition  to or in  lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from tie to time by applicable  law. Upon any such
re-entry  Landlord  shall  have  the  right  to  make  any  reasonable  repairs,
alterations  or  modifications  to the  Premises,  which  Landlord  in its  sole
discretion deems  reasonable and necessary.  As used in (1) above, the "worth at
the time of award" is computed  by allowing  interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum  from the date of  default.  As used in (2) and (3)  above,  the
"worth at the time of award"  is  computed  by  discounting  such  amount at the
discount  rate of the U.S.  Federal  Reserve  Bank at the time of award plus one
percent (1%).

Remedies of Landlord  contained in this Lease shall be 


                                       10
<PAGE>

construed and held to be cumulative, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue
any one or all of such  remedies  or any other  remedy  or  relief  which may be
provided by law. No waiver of any default of Tenant  hereunder  shall be implied
from any  acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other  payments due hereunder or
any  omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such  default if such
default  persists or is repeated,  and no express  waiver shall affect  defaults
other than as specified  in said waiver.  The consent or approval of Landlord to
or of any act by Tenant  requiring  Landlord's  consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render  unnecessary  Landlord's  consent or approval to or of
any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.

21. EMINENT DOMAIN.  If more than  twenty-five  percent (25%) of the Premises is
taken or appropriated  by any public or  quasi-public  authority under powers of
eminent  domain,  either  party  hereto  shall have the right at its option,  to
terminate this Lease. If less than twenty-five  percent (25%) of the Premises is
taken (or neither  party  elects to  terminate  as above,  provided if more than
twenty-five  percent (25%) is taken),  the Lease shall continue,  but the rental
thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. If any part of the building of
which the Premises are a party is so taken or  appropriated,  whether or not any
part of the Premises is involved, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award
and  compensation  for the  taking  which  is paid  or  made  by the  public  or
quasi-public agency, and Tenant shall have no claim against said award.

22.  STATEMENT TO LENDER.  Tenant shall at any time and from time to time,  upon
not less  than ten (10)  days  prior  written  notice  from  Landlord,  execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (a) certifying that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,  stating
the nature of such  modifications and certifying that this Lease as so modified,
is in full force and effect), and the date to which the rental and other charges
are paid in  advance,  if any,  and (b)  acknowledging  that  there are not,  to
Tenant's knowledge,  any uncured defaults on the part of the Landlord hereunder,
or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be relied
upon by any  prospective  purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
real property of which the Premises are a part.

23. PARKING. Tenant shall have the right to use, in common with other tenants or
occupants of the building, parking facilities,  provided by Landlord for Tenants
of The Landmark,  subject to the rules and regulations  established by Landlord.
Said parking  shall be at no expense to the Tenant  unless a tax, fee or levy is
imposed  directly  or  indirectly  by  a  Federal,  State  or  local  agency  or
jurisdiction for parking. If such a tax, fee or levy is imposed tenant agrees to
pay 

                                       11

hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any  provision of this Lease,  other than the failure of the Tenant
to pay the particular rental so accepted,  regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

25.3  Notices.  All notices and demands which may or are required to be given by

contamination occurred or even knew about the contamination. Some items, such as

     currently being served by said cables.

     29.5 Not all  existing  telephone  rooms/punchdown  boards  are  permanent.
     Tenant and his contractor must verify  location of termination  points with
