     1.02 - All improvements to the Premises necessary for the Tenant's use and
occupancy thereof shall be completed by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense (except as provided below), as set forth in Exhibit "C" hereto (which is
incorporated herein by this reference) (the "Tenant Improvements"). Except for
the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall deliver and Tenant agrees to accept the
Premises from Landlord in their current "as is" condition with all structural,
electrical and mechanical systems serving the Premises in good working order.
Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any improvements or alterations in
the Premises except those specifically listed as Tenant Improvements Exhibit C.
Tenant's taking possession of the Premises following substantial completion of
the Tenant Improvements described in Exhibit C shall be conclusive evidence as
against Tenant that the Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use, and that
the Premises were in satisfactory condition when Tenant took possession thereof
except for any latent defects and those items set forth in the punchlist, if
any, submitted by Tenant to Landlord. Within five (5) days of Landlord's
delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall inspect the
Premises and submit to Landlord a written punchlist of any contended defects in
the Tenant Improvements performed by Landlord. Thereafter, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to promptly correct any defects in the Tenant Improvements.

     1.03 - The Tenant Improvements shall be completed by Landlord in accordance
with the requirements and specifications set forth in Exhibit C. Tenant will
bear the cost of the Tenant Improvements, including, but not limited to,
architectural and engineering fees relating to the Premises and all costs and
expenses incurred in the construction of the Tenant Improvements over and above
the current "as is" condition of the Premises as described in Section 1.02 above
(collectively "Tenant's Costs"); provided, however, Landlord will credit against
the foregoing Tenant's Costs an allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance")
of $15.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises. In addition, up to $1.50 per
square foot of said Allowance may be used by Tenant to cover moving expenses and
related costs (such as cabling and office fixtures and furnishings) incurred by
Tenant in connection with its relocation of its operations to the Premises.
Tenant will pay as Additional Rent any excess (the "Excess") of Tenant's Costs
over the Tenant Improvement Allowance as follows:

     (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction
of the Tenant Improvements, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such
Excess (as then estimated by Landlord);

     (b) After substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, but prior to
Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal
to eighty percent (80%) of the Excess as than estimated by Landlord, less
payments received by Landlord according to (a) above;

     (c) Upon submission to Tenant of the final accounting for all costs
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the entire unpaid balance of the actual
Excess based on the final costs.

     (d) Within ten (10) days of substantial completion of the Tenant
Improvements, Tenant shall open for business and thereafter operate its business
in the Premises throughout the Term of the Lease in accordance with the terms
hereof.

     TERM 2.01 - The term of this Lease shall commence on the date Landlord
substantially completes the Tenant Improvements and delivers possession of the
Premises to Tenant ("Lease Commencement Date") and shall expire at twelve
o'clock midnight on the Last day of the Eighty-Fourth (84th) full calendar month
thereafter, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

     2.02 - The period commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on
the last day of the 12th full calendar month thereafter, shall constitute the
first "Lease Year" as such term is used herein. Each successive twelve (12)
calendar month period during the Term, commencing on the annual anniversary of
the Lease Commencement Date (or if the Lease Commencement Date is not the first
day of a calendar month, the annual anniversary of the first full calendar month
following the Lease Commencement Date) shall constitute a "Lease Year" for the
purpose of this Lease.

     2.03 - (a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right, exercisable at
Tenant's option, to renew and extend the Term of the Lease for one (1)
additional period of five (5) years ("Renewal Term"), exercisable as hereinafter
provided. If properly exercised and if the conditions applicable thereto have
been satisfied, the Renewal Term shall commence on the date immediately
following the expiration of the initial Lease Term defined in Section 2.01
above, and in such event, such Renewal Term shall be deemed to be part of the
Lease Term.

     (b) The right of renewal herein granted to Tenant shall be subject to, and
shall be exercised strictly in accordance with, the following terms and
conditions. Tenant shall exercise the renewal option by giving Landlord written
notice of the exercise thereof (the "Option Notice") not later than twelve (12),
nor earlier than eighteen (18), months prior to the expiration of the initial
Lease Term. Time is of the essence as to all dates pertaining to Tenant's
exercise of the renewal option. If: (1) the Option Notice is not timely given,
(2) Tenant does not exercise the renewal option, or (3) an Event of Default
exists at the time of Tenant's Option Notice or upon the commencement of the
Renewal Term, then, under any of the foregoing circumstances, Tenant's right of
renewal shall thereupon and thereafter lapse, terminate and be of no further
force or effect. In no event shall Tenant have the right to renew or extend the
Lease Term beyond the expiration of the Renewal Term. If the Renewal Option has
been properly exercised, during the Renewal Term, all of the terms, conditions,
covenants and agreements set forth in the Lease shall continue to apply and be
binding upon Landlord and Tenant (including the additional rent payable under
the terms of the Lease, with an appropriate adjustment of the Base Year used to
calculate the same), except that the annual Basic Rent payable by Tenant during
the Renewal Term shall be in an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent (as defined
below) for the Premises for the Renewal Term.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (c) The term "Fair Market Rent" as used in this Section 2.03, shall mean
the annual market Basic Rent (including annual escalations thereof) for
comparable office space in comparable buildings in the Woodley Park submarket,
taking into account all appropriate factors. Within ten (10) days after Tenant
exercises a renewal option, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's
determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term based upon the
foregoing parameters. Within ten (10) days following Landlord's notification
regarding the Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that
Tenant: (i) agrees with Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent
applicable to the Renewal Term, or (ii) disagrees with Landlord's determination
of the Fair Market Rent applicable to said Renewal Term, and provide Landlord
with an alternative proposed Fair Market Rent structure based on the foregoing
parameters. If Tenant does not dispute Landlord's determination, or agrees with
the same in writing within the aforesaid ten (10) day period, such amount shall
become the Basic Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable hereunder during the
Renewal Term. If Tenant disputes Landlord's determination in writing within the
aforesaid ten (10) day period, then Landlord and Tenant will negotiate in good
faith to determine the appropriate Fair Market Rent applicable to said Renewal
Term in accordance with the foregoing parameters. In the event that the parties
cannot agree upon the appropriate Fair Market Rent within sixty (60) days of
Tenant's Option Notice, then said Fair Market Rent shall be determined in
accordance with the following terms. Within ten (10) days after the expiration
of such sixty (60) day period, each party shall give written notice to the other
setting forth the name and address of a Broker (as hereinafter defined) selected
by such party who has agreed to act in such capacity, to determine the Fair
Market Rent applicable to the Renewal Term. If either party shall fail to select
a Broker as aforesaid, then the party which has selected a Broker as aforesaid
(the "Appointing Parry") shall have the right to issue a written notice to the
parry which failed to select a Broker as aforesaid (the "Non-Appointing Party")
advising such Non-Appointing Party that it has failed to appoint its Broker, in
which case, if the Non-Appointing Party does not then designate its Broker
within five (5) business days following receipt of the Appointing Party's
Notice, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by the Broker selected by
the other parry. Each Broker shall thereupon independently make his
determination of the Fair Market Rent applicable to the Renewal Term based upon
the parameters for determining Basic Rent outlined above within twenty (20) days
after the appointment of the second Broker. If the two Brokers' determinations
are not the same, but the higher of such two determinations (based upon the
initial Fair Market Rent and average Fair Market Rent over the course of the
Renewal Term) is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) OF the lower of
them, then the Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to be the average of the two
determinations. If the higher of such two determinations is more than one
hundred five percent (105%) of the lower of them, then the two Brokers shall
jointly appoint a third Broker within ten (10) days after the second of the two
determinations described above has been rendered. The third Broker than
independently make his determination of the Fair Market Rent within twenty (20)
days after his appointment. The highest and the lowest determinations among the
three Brokers shall be disregarded and the remaining determination shall be
deemed to be the Basic Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Renewal Term.
Within thirty (30) days after the Basic Rent is determined as aforesaid, the
parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the new Basic
Rent to be paid for the Renewal Term. For the purposes of this Section 2.03,
"Broker" shall mean a real estate broker licensed in the District of Columbia,
who has been regularly engaged in such capacity in the business of commercial
office leasing in Northwest Washington, D.C. for at least ten (10) years
immediately preceding such person's appointment hereunder. Each party shall pay
for the cost of its Broker and one-half of the cost of the third Broker.

     RENT 3.01 - (a) Beginning on the first day of the fourth (4th) full
calendar month during the Term, and thereafter throughout the Term of the Lease,
Tenant shall pay Landlord basic annual rent in the initial amount of $158,400.00
per annum, payable in equal monthly installments of $13,200.00, in advance on
the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term (the "Basic
Rent"). [In addition, during the first Lease Year, if the Lease Commencement
Date is not the first day of a calendar month, on the first day of the fourth
(4n1) full calendar month, Tenant shall pay Landlord Basic Rent with respect to
the month in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs in an amount equal to the
product of: (i) the initial monthly Basic Rent set forth above divided by the
number of days in such calendar month, and (ii) the number of days remaining in
such calendar month beginning with the Lease Commencement Date (it being the
intent of the parties that Tenant not be obligated to pay Basic Rent for the
first three (3) full calendar months during the Term). Said initial Basic Rent
shall be escalated on the first day of the second Lease Year, and thereafter on
the first day of each and every Lease Year during the Term in accordance with
the schedule set forth below:

          Lease Year     Annual Basic Rent     Monthly Basic Rent
          ----------     -----------------     ------------------
              2             $163,152.00            $13,596.00

     (b) Notwithstanding the terms of paragraph (a) above, and provided Tenant
is occupying the Premises and there exists no Event of Default throughout such
period: (1) Tenant's obligation to pay fifty percent (50%) of its Monthly Basic
Rent shall abate for the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh full calendar months
following the Lease Commencement Date, and (2) Tenant's obligation to pay a
portion of its Monthly Basic Rent totaling $1,304.17 shall abate for the eighth,

Project's actual Excess Real Estate Taxes applicable to the preceding calendar
year. If said actual Excess Real Estate Taxes exceed the estimates thereof paid
by Tenant, Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the difference to
Landlord within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of said written statement. If
the estimated Excess Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant exceed the actual Excess
Real Estate Taxes, the difference shall be credited toward any past due rent or

all Common Areas, and (ii) Landlord's expenses in contesting the validity of, or
seeking a reduction in, or in seeking to prevent an increase in any such tax or
assessment, or attempting to obtain any refund thereof or reassessment of the

Basic Rent or additional rent not paid when due shall also accrue interest at
the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (but in no event at a rate higher
than the maximum rate allowed by law) from the due date until paid in full,
which interest shall be deemed additional rent hereunder.

     3.05 - 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 on 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 an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check for
payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. If Tenant shall present
to Landlord at any time during the term of this Lease a check or draft not
honored by the institution upon which the same is issued, then Landlord may
require that future payments of rent thereafter payable be made by certified or
cashier's check.

sufficient to prevent dedication thereof or accrual of any rights therein to any
person or the public; to close temporarily all or any portion of the Common
Areas; to erect, remove, maintain, repair or replace improvements or buildings
on the Common Areas and to lease such areas or improvements; to discourage
non-customer parking; to grant tenants of the Project or other parties rights to
use portions of the Common Areas (including sidewalks); and to do and perform
such other acts in and to said areas and improvements as, in the use of
reasonable business judgment, the Landlord shall determine to be advisable;
provided that no such acts or changes shall permanently deny or materially
interfere with reasonable ingress to, or egress from the Premises. In addition
to the foregoing, Landlord shall have the unfettered right to close down or
restrict access to all or any part of the Common Areas on a temporary basis to
make such alterations, modifications or repairs to the Project as shall be
advisable in Landlord's sole discretion. In exercising its rights hereunder,
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference
with Tenant's business operations. However, Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's business by reason
thereof.

     7.02 (a) Tenant shall have the right during the Term to utilize the parking
garage and other parking areas of the Project (collectively, the "Parking Area")
subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.02. Tenant
understands and acknowledges that the parking garage and other parking areas of
the Project may be operated by or leased to a third party ("Parking Operator")
pursuant to an agreement with Landlord. As a result, the parties acknowledge
that Tenant's parking rights shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
Landlord's agreement with the Parking Operator. Tenant shall have the right
during the Term to lease up to six (6) unreserved spaces in the Parking Area at
the then current market rental rate ("parking fees"), as adjusted from time to
time by Landlord and/or the Parking Operator, for each of the spaces (per
parking space), payable monthly in advance on or before the first day of each
month throughout the Lease Term to Landlord, or, if applicable, the Parking
Operator. In the event that at any time following the ninety-first (9lst) day
after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant leases less than the number of spaces
set forth above, at the current parking rates, at any time, Tenant's rights to
lease spaces shall thereafter be decreased to the amount Tenant is actually
leasing. Following any such decrease, Landlord may lease such spaces to any
third party. If Tenant subsequently desires to lease such spaces again, Tenant's
rights to lease the same shall be subject to the availability of spaces in the
Parking Area for leasing (it being understood that Tenant's rights with respect
to spaces which thereafter become available shall be superior to the rights of
third parties who are not tenants or occupants of the Project).

     (b) Subject to the limitations imposed thereon from time to time by
Landlord and/or the Parking Operator, Tenant's customers and visitors shall have
the right to use available spaces in the Parking Area for the purpose of parking
their vehicles therein while visiting the Premises. Tenant's customers and
visitors shall pay the then current hourly parking fees established by Landlord
and/or the Parking Operator, as adjusted from time to time, for the privilege of
using the Parking Area. The foregoing shall in no way be construed to imposed
upon Landlord any obligation to provide customer parking for Tenant.

     (c) Landlord's granting of parking rights hereunder does not create a
bailment between the parties, it being expressly agreed that the only
relationship created between landlord and Tenant hereby is that of right grantor
and right grantee. All motor vehicles (including all contents thereof) shall be
in the Parking Area at the sole risk of their owners and Tenant, and Landlord is
not responsible for the protection and security of such vehicles. Neither
Landlord nor any agent, employee or contractor of Landlord shall have any
liability for any property damage or personal injury arising out of or in
connection with said motor vehicles, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord and any agent, employee or contractor of Landlord harmless against all
demands, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, or causes of action
arising out of or connected with Tenant's Or Tenant's Agents' use of the Parking
Area, or any acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with said motor
vehicles.

     (d) In its use of the Parking Area, Tenant will follow all applicable Rules
and Regulations enacted by Landlord with respect to the Building, the Project
and/or the Parking Area, and will cause Tenant's Agents to do the same. Any
violation of said applicable Rules and Regulations or failure by Tenant to pay
parking fees will constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Upon any such Event
of Default, in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies, Landlord may
terminate Tenant's rights to lease parking spaces in the Parking Area in
accordance with the terms of subsection (a) above.

     (e) If: (i) all or a portion of the Parking Area is damaged by fire or
other casualty or taken by power of eminent domain or purchased in lieu thereof
by an governmental authority, (ii) the insurance proceeds payable as a result of
a casualty to the Parking Area are applied to a Mortgage, or (iii) there is any
material uninsured loss to the Parking Area, Landlord may terminate tenant's
rights to lease spaces in the Parking Area in accordance with the terms of
subsection (a) above. If Landlord does not so elect to terminate such rights of
Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection (e), then: (1)
Landlord will either (i) proceed to restore the Parking Area (and Landlord shall
have no obligation to provide any alternative parking while such restoration is
being performed), or (ii) not restore the Parking Area, but provide Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, with alternate parking throughout the remainder
of the Lease Term (if such alterative parking is reasonably available under the
circumstances).

     ALTERATIONS 8.01 - Tenant shall not at any time subsequent to the date of
this Lease make any alterations, additions, improvements or changes in the
Premises without in each instance having submitted to Landlord proposed written
plans for same and obtained Landlord's written consent. Such consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld provided that said alterations, additions, improvements
or changes are non-structural, and do not affect: the appearance of the Project;
any heating, ventilating, air conditioning, security, fire detection and
protection, utility, mechanical, electrical or plumbing system in or upon the
Project; or negatively affect the appearance of the Premises. All such permitted
alterations, additions, improvements and changes in the Premises shall be
undertaken and completed at Tenant's expense and shall be performed subject to
the terms and conditions and in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Paragraph 2 of Exhibit C hereto with respect to the initial Tenant's
Improvements. Subject to the provisions of Sections 15.01 and 18.01, all such
alterations, additions, improvements or changes shall become upon completion,
the property of Landlord, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord. All
work with respect to such alterations and additions shall be done in a good and
workmanlike manner using new materials and shall be diligently prosecuted to
completion Tenant shall not permit a mechanic's lien(s) to be placed upon the
Premises, the Building or the Project as a result of any alterations or
improvements made by Tenant or on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant agrees that if
any such lien be filed on account of the acts of Tenant, promptly to pay the
same. In the event that Tenant fails to pay any such lien, it may be paid by
Landlord and the cost charged to Tenant as additional rent under this Lease.
Tenant hereby expressly recognizes that in no event shall it be deemed the agent
of Landlord and no contractor of Tenant shall by virtue of its contract be
entitled to assert any lien against the Building or Project. All alterations or
additions shall become a part of the realty and surrendered to Landlord upon the
expiration or termination of this Lease, unless Landlord shall at the time of
its approval of such work require removal or restoration on the part of Tenant
as a condition of such approval.

     HOLD HARMLESS 9.01 - Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to, or
loss of, property in the Premises belonging to Tenant or Tenant's Agents, other
persons in or about the Premises, or for damage or loss suffered by the business
of Tenant, from any cause whatsoever, including, without limiting the generality
thereof, such damage or loss resulting from fire, steam, smoke, electricity,
gas, water, rain, ice or snow, which may leak or flow from or into any part of
the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the
pipes, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning or lighting fixtures of the
same, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner to
Tenant, or Tenant's Agents for any injury or damage to Tenant, Tenant's Agents,
or their property, caused by the criminal or intentional misconduct, or by any
act or neglect of third parties or of Tenant, Tenant's Agents, or of any other
tenant of or visitor to the Building or the Project. Tenant covenants that no
claim shall be made against Landlord by Tenant, or by any of Tenant's Agents, or
by others claiming the right to be in the Premises, in the Building or on the
Project through or under Tenant, for any injury, loss or damage to the Premises
or to any person or property occurring upon the Premises, the Building or the
Project from any cause other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, its agents or employees. In no event shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any consequential damages claimed or sustained by Tenant or Tenant's
Agents arising out of or in any way related to the Premises, the Building or the
Project.

     9.02 - Tenant agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless
Landlord and all beneficiaries, agents and employees of Landlord from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable Professional Fees (as defined in Section
16.02) and expenses of Landlord), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or
judgments of any nature whatsoever (except those arising from the grossly
negligent acts of Landlord) arising from (a) any injury to, or the death of, ANY
person or any damage to property on the Premises or in any manner growing out of
or connected with the use, non-use, condition or occupation of the Premises or
any part thereof or resulting from the condition thereof, (b) ANY violation of
any agreement or condition of this Lease, (c) any violation by Tenant or
Tenant's Agents of any contract or agreement to which Tenant or Tenant's Agents
are a party or any restriction, statute, law, ordinance or regulation, in each
case affecting the Premises or any part thereof or the occupancy or use thereof,
and (d) any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or
Tenant's Agents. Landlord agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save
harmless Tenant and all beneficiaries, agents and employees of Tenant from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable Professional Fees (as defined in Section
16.02) and expenses of Tenant), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or
judgments of any nature whatsoever (except those arising from the grossly
negligent acts or willful misconduct of Tenant) arising from the gross
negligence of willful misconduct of Landlord.

     LIEN ON TENANT'S PROPERTY 10.01 - Landlord shall have a lien for the
payment of the rent aforesaid upon all of the goods, wares, chattels, fixtures,
furniture and other personal property of Tenant which may be in or upon the
Premises. Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all exemptions allowed by
law; and such lien may be enforced upon an Event of Default (as defined in
Section 16.01) by the taking and selling of such property in the same manner as
in the case of chattel mortgages on default thereunder; said sale to be made
upon ten days notice served upon Tenant by posting upon the Premises or by
leaving same at his place of residence; or such lien may be enforced in any
other lawful manner at the option of the Landlord.

     INSURANCE 11.01 - Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain and
maintain at all times during the term of this Lease, for the protection of
Landlord and Tenant, Public Liability Insurance (Commercial General Liability)
including Contractual Liability Insurance, with a combined personal injury and
property damage limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) each
occurrence and not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the
aggregate, insuring against all liability of Tenant and its authorized
representatives arising out of and in connection

                                       11
<PAGE>

with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord, and any agent of
Landlord and Landlord's ground lessor or mortgagees designated by Landlord,
shall be named as additional insureds.

     11.02 - Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain and maintain at all
times during the term of this Lease, fire and extended coverage insurance on the
Premises and all of its contents, including any leasehold improvements made by
Tenant, for the full replacement value thereof so that no co-insurance penalty
shall be invoked in case of loss.

     11.03. - Tenant shall also, at its cost and expense, obtain and maintain
all other insurance coverage required by applicable law from time to time, as
well as any additional coverage which Landlord reasonably requires from time to
time consistent with then-current market practices. Tenant shall increase its
insurance coverage, as required, but not more frequently than each year if, in
the commercially reasonable opinion of Landlord or the mortgagee of Landlord,
the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage at that
time is not adequate.

     11.04 - All insurance required under this Lease shall be issued by
insurance companies licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Premises are located. Such companies shall have a policyholder rating of at
least "A" and be assigned a financial size category of at least "Class VIII" as
rated in the most recent edition of "Best's Key Rating Guide" for insurance
companies. Each policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty days
written notice from the insurance company to Landlord before cancellation or any
change in the coverage, scope or amount of any policy. Each policy, or a
certificate showing it is in effect, together with evidence of payment of
premiums, shall be deposited with Landlord at the commencement of the Lease, and
renewal certificates or copies of renewal policies shall be delivered to
Landlord at least thirty days prior to the expiration of any policy.

     11.05 - Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, each party
hereby waives every right or cause of action for the events which occur or
accrue during the Lease Term for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its
property (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by the fault or
negligence of the other party or anyone for whom said other party may be
responsible), which loss or damage is covered by fire, extended coverage, "All
Risk" or similar policies covering real property, personal property or business
interruption insurance policies (including those policies required to be carried
hereunder, whether or not the same are in effect), to the extent that such loss
or damage is recovered (or would have been recovered if the coverage required
hereunder were in place) under said insurance policies. Said waivers are in
addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release
contained in this Lease with respect to any loss or damage to property of the
parties hereto. Each parry will give its insurance carrier written notice of the
terms of such mutual waiver, and the insurance policies will be properly
endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of coverage by reason of
said waiver.

     ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING 12.01- (a) Tenant shall not assign, transfer,
mortgage or encumber this Lease or sublet the Premises without obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord, nor shall any assignment or transfer of this
Lease be effectuated by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, provided that the same is sought by Tenant in strict
accordance with the terms set forth herein. If Tenant wishes to assign this
Lease, sublet the Premises, or permit occupancy or use of the Premises or any
part thereof by another party or parties, Tenant shall provide Landlord with at
least twenty (20) days prior written notice of Tenant's bona fide proposed
assignment or proposed subletting of all or any part of the Premises. If any
proposed sublease results (cumulatively, when considered with any previous
subleases) in the subleasing of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises,
or any proposed sublease is to extend for substantially the balance of the
then-remaining term of this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right, at its
sole option, during said twenty (20) day period, to terminate this Lease with
respect to such space, or to sublet all or any part of the Premises from the
Tenant at the same rental Tenant is paying Landlord, with the right to further
sublease such space. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, transfer, or
subletting to any party other than Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver
or release of Tenant from the terms of any covenant or obligation under this
Lease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any such assignee,
transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from
any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall such assignment or
subletting be construed to relieve Tenant from giving Landlord said twenty (20)
days notice, nor from obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any
further assignment or subletting. In the event that Tenant defaults hereunder,
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord the rent due from any subtenant of Tenant and
hereby authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord.

     (b) If Tenant is a partnership, any dissolution of Tenant or a withdrawal
or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners
owning a controlling interest in Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment
of this Lease and subject to the provisions of this Section 12.01. If Tenant is
a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of
Tenant, or the sale or transfer of a controlling interest of the capital stock
of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this lease and subject to
the provisions of Section 12.01.

     (c) If any excess rent is payable under an assignment or sublease over the
Rent payable hereunder or any payment is trade to Tenant on account of or in
consideration of an assignment or sublease of Tenant's interest hereunder,
Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such excess
rent or other payment or consideration within five (5) days of the date on which
such amount is payable to Tenant pursuant to its agreement with the sublessee or
assignee. Said excess rent shall be determined net of Tenant's reasonable
brokerage commissions and improvement costs related to such transaction.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     (d) The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting to any party
other than Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from
the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, nor shall the
collection or acceptance of rent from any such assignee, subtenant or other
occupant of the Premises constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any
covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall such assignment or
subletting be construed to relieve Tenant from giving Landlord said thirty days
notice, nor from obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any further
assignment or subletting. In the event that Tenant defaults hereunder, Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord the rent due from any subtenant of Tenant and hereby
authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, deny any request by Tenant to sublease all or any
portion of the Premises or assign this Lease if Landlord believes that any
income therefrom would not be classified as "rents from real property" as
defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ACCESS 13.01 - Landlord may, at any time during
Tenant's occupancy upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an
emergency in which case no notice shall be required), enter the Premises to
inspect the same, or to show the same to others, or to facilitate repairs to the
Building, or to introduce, replace, repair, alter or make new or change existing
connections from any fixtures, pipes, wires, ducts, conduits or other
construction therein, or remove, without being held responsible therefor,
placards, signs, lettering, window or door coverings and the like not expressly
consented to by Landlord. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or
construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation or liability whatsoever for
care, supervision, repair, improvement, addition, change or alteration of the
Premises, the Building of which they are a part or the Project or any part
thereof other than as provided in this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's business operations resulting
from such entry. However, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in any way as a
result of such entry, except to the extent of Landlord's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and no such entry by Landlord shall constitute a
constructive eviction of Tenant.

     13.02 - Landlord may within nine (9) months next preceding the expiration
of the term, enter the Premises free from hindrance or control of Tenant to show
the Premises to prospective tenants at times which will not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's business.

     DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION 14.01 - (a) In the event that the Premises or any
part thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty from any cause so
as to render said Premises unfit for Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, a just
and proportionate part of the rent, according to the nature and extent of the
damage or injury to said Premises, shall be abated until said Premises have been
put in as good condition for use and occupancy as at the time immediately prior
to such damage or destruction. Landlord shall proceed, at its expense and as
expeditiously as may be practicable, to repair the damage to the roof,
foundation and structure of the Premises to the extent of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord with respect to such casualty, unless, because of the
substantial extent of the damage or destruction, Landlord should decide not to
repair or restore the Premises or the Building, in which event and at Landlord's
sole option, Landlord may terminate this Lease forthwith by giving Tenant a
written notice of its intention to terminate within sixty (60) days after the
date of the casualty.

     (b) In the event that more than twenty percent (20%) of the Building shall
be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Premises
shall be damaged or destroyed), Landlord may, at its sole option, elect to
refrain from rebuilding or repairing the same, and terminate this Lease by
providing Tenant with written notice within sixty (60) days after the date of
the casualty.

     (c) If Landlord does not elect to terminate the Lease pursuant to the terms
of this Section 14.01, upon completion of Landlord's repair and rebuilding
obligations, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore all
improvements and alterations in the Premises, as well as all fixtures, equipment
and personal property therein to their condition immediately preceding such
casualty.

     14.02 Landlord's rebuilding and repair obligations under the foregoing
Section 14.01 shall be limited to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually
received by Landlord with respect to the same (which shall not include insurance
proceeds which maybe required to be paid to or at the direction of Landlord's
mortgagee, ground lessor or holder of a deed of trust with respect to the
Premises, the Building or the Project). Landlord shall have no obligation to
repair, rebuild or replace any improvements, alterations, equipment, trade
fixtures or personal property of Tenant, which repair, rebuilding and
replacement shall be the obligation of Tenant, at its sole cost and expense.

     CONDEMNATION 15.01 - This Lease shall be terminated and the rental payable
hereunder shall be adjusted to the date of such termination in either of the
two following events, namely: (a) the forcible leasing or condemnation of the
Premises, Building or Project by any competent authority under right of eminent
domain for any public or quasi-public use for purpose or a sale in lieu thereof
(collectively, a "taking"); or (b) the taking by competent authority of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Building or the Project. Except as
provided above, the taking by any competent authority of any portion of the
Building other than the Premises shall have no effect upon this Lease. In case
of any taking, whether or not the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate,
the entire award shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to any such award, if any.
Tenant, however, shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the
condemnation proceeding such separate award as may be allowed for fixtures and
other equipment installed by it, but only if such award shall be

                                       13
<PAGE>

made by the Court in addition to the award made by it to Landlord for the land
and improvements or part thereof so taken.

     DEFAULT 16.01- (a) Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under the Lease, entitling Landlord to exercise all remedies available
hereunder and under applicable law:

     (1) Tenant's failure to pay any installment or other payment of Basic Rent
or additional rent when the same shall become due and payable, which failure
continues for a period five (5) days following written notice from Landlord
regarding the same;

     (2) Tenant's failure to pay any installment or other payment of Basic Rent
or additional rent when the same shall become due and payable if Landlord has
previously delivered two (2) or more notices to Tenant pursuant to the terms of
clause (1) above during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such
failure to pay;

     (3) Tenant's failure to restore any deficiency in the amount of the
Security Deposit as required under Section 3.06 hereof within five (5) days
after a demand from Landlord to restore the same;

     (4) The assignment, transfer, mortgaging or encumbering of this Lease or
the subletting or encumbering of the Premises or any portion thereof (including
the imposition of any mechanics liens on the Premises) in a manner not permitted
under Section 12.01 hereof;

     (5) The abandonment of all or part of the Premises or the vacating of all
of the Premises for a period of five (5) consecutive days, coupled with the
failure to pay rent;

     (6) The occurrence of an Event of Insolvency (as defined in subsection (b)
below); and

     (7) Tenant's or Tenant's Agents' failure to comply with the terms of
Section 11.01 and any other provision of the Lease related to the maintenance of
insurance required under the terms of the I ease by Tenant or Tenant's Agents;

     (8) In addition to those matters set forth above, Tenant's violation of or
failure to perform or observe any other term, provision, covenant, condition,
obligation or requirement of Tenant under this Lease, which failure shall
continue uncured for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof
from Landlord; it being understood and agreed that, in the event such failure to
perform or observe a term of this Lease shall be of such a nature that it is
incapable of being cured within the twenty (20) day period, Tenant's obligation
to cure hereunder shall be satisfied by Tenant undertaking diligent and
continuous efforts to cure such default within said twenty (20) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecuting the same to completion provided that such cure
is completed within sixty (60) days of the date of Landlord's notice.

     (b) For purposes of this Lease, an "Event of Insolvency" shall include any
of the following: (i) if Tenant becomes "insolvent", as defined in Title 11 of
the United States Code, entitled "Bankruptcy," 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.
(hereinafter called the "Bankruptcy Code"), or under the insolvency laws of any
state, district, commonwealth or territory of the United States of America
("Insolvency Laws"); or (ii) if a receiver or custodian is appointed for any or
all of Tenant's property or assets, or if there is instituted a foreclosure
action on any of Tenant's property; or (iii) if Tenant files a voluntary
petition under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws; or (iv) if there is filed
an involuntary petition against Tenant as the subject debtor under the
Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws which is not dismissed within thirty (30)
days of filing or results in the issuance of an order for relief against the
Tenant; or (v) if Tenant at any time is generally not paying its debts as and
when the same come due; or (vi) if Tenant makes or consents to an assignment of
its assets, in whole or in part, for the benefit of creditors, or a common law
composition of creditors.

     16.02 - (a) At any time following the happening of any of the
aforementioned Events of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of
Landlord set forth herein or at law or at equity, Landlord may, at its sole
option without further notice to Tenant, exercise any of the following remedies
(said remedies being cumulative): (1) terminate this Lease; (2) with or without
terminating this Lease, terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
and re-enter the Premises by process of law and remove all persons and property
therefrom (and remove and/or store Tenant's property at Tenant's risk and
expense), and otherwise proceed to recover possession of said Premises by
process of law; (3) re-rent the Premises for the account of Tenant; and/or (4)
declare immediately due and payable all Basic Rent and additional rent reserved
hereunder for the unexpired balance of the Lease Term and any Operating Costs
and Excess Real Estate Taxes which would be payable by Tenant hereunder), which
amount, discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum to the then present
value thereof, shall be immediately payable by Tenant.

     (b) If Landlord exercises either of its remedies set forth in clause (a)(1)
or (2) above, Tenant will immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord upon
demand, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any
other remedy re-enter the Premises with or without process of law and remove all
persons and property therefrom (and remove and/or store Tenant's property at
Tenant's risk and expense), and otherwise proceed to recover possession of said
Premises by process of law, or if necessary by lockout, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim of damages therefor. Under no circumstances shall
Tenant will be entitled to any notice to quit, whether required by statute or
otherwise (the provisions of this Article 16 shall operate as a notice to quit),
Tenant hereby expressly waives: (i) any notice to quit or of Landlord's
intention to re-enter the Premises (whether required by statute or

                                       14
<PAGE>

otherwise), and (ii) any right which Tenant may possess or acquire to redeem the
Premises or its interest in this Lease subsequent to an Event of Default.

     (c) Neither Landlord's termination of the Lease or termination of Tenant's
right to possession shall in any way affect Tenant's obligation to pay all rent
accrued under the Lease through the date of such termination, plus all damages
suffered by Landlord as a result of such Event of Default and/or termination, as
set forth below. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all damages, costs, expenses and
liabilities of any kind incurred or suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's
Event of Default or in any way connected with Landlord exercise of its remedies
hereunder.

     (d) If Landlord exercises its remedies set forth in clause (a)(3) above, at
any time following an Event of Default, Landlord may relet the Premises or any
part thereof for the account of Tenant and receive the rent therefor. Under such
circumstances, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as and when the same become due
under the terms of the Lease, sums equivalent to the difference between the
monthly rent reserved hereunder and the rents received by Landlord as a result
of any such referring, if any, or, at Landlord's option, upon Landlord's demand,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference between the Basic Rent and additional
rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired balance of the Lease Term (including
any estimated or actual Operating Costs and Excess Real Estate Taxes which would
be payable by Tenant hereunder), and the rent reserved under the terms of such
referring for the same time period, which difference, discounted at the rate of
six percent (6%) per annum to the then present value thereof. In connection with
any such referring, Landlord may make such alterations and repairs as may be
necessary in order to relet said Premises or any part thereof for such term or
terms (which may but need not necessarily be for a term extending beyond the
term of this Lease) and relet the Premises at such rental or rentals and upon
other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem
advisable. All rentals received by Landlord during the Term of this Lease from
such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any costs and expenses
of recovering. and reletting the Premises (including but not limited to
reasonable Professional Fees (as defined in Section 16.02), brokerage
commissions and tenant improvement costs; it being understood that any such
costs associated with the reletting of the Premises will be amortized by
landlord over the lease term of such replacement lease and that Tenant shall be
responsible for that portion of such costs which is allocable to the remaining
Term of this Lease); second, to any damages suffered or incurred by Landlord as
a result of Tenant's Event of Default; third, to the payment of rent due and
unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and
applied in payment of future rent as same may become due and payable hereunder.
Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any surplus rentals received
by Landlord as a result of such reletting. No re-entry or taking possession of
said Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any such previous
Event of Default.

     (e) In addition to the remedies set forth above, Landlord may: (i) enjoin
any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, agreements,
terms or conditions in this Lease, or (ii) cure the Event of Default at the
expense of Tenant, which cure may include Landlord's entry upon the Premises, by
force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for
damages therefor, to do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of
this Lease. Under such circumstances, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on
demand, as additional rent, for any expenses Landlord incurs in curing such
Event of Default and/or performing such obligations of Tenant, including any
Professional Fees (as defined below), plus interest thereon from the date such
expenses were incurred at the rate specified in Section 3.04. Neither Landlord
nor Landlord's agents will be liable for any damages to Tenant or. any other
party due to such action.

     (f) If at any time after the execution of this Lease, (i) Landlord shall
undertake action or incur expenses (including reasonable attorney's,
accountant's, architect's, expert's or other professional fees, which fees are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as "Professional Fees") (which
decision to undertake action or incur expenses shall be at the sole and absolute
discretion of Landlord) for the purposes of enforcing the terms of the Lease
against Tenant or otherwise protecting Landlord's rights hereunder, whether or
not legal action is commenced and including those related to any trial, appeal
or Event of Insolvency, or (ii) Landlord shall incur expenses as a result of an
action brought by or against Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
expenses incurred thereby as additional rent.

     (g) If any property belonging to Tenant, or otherwise, is found upon the
Premises at the time of re-entry or termination of Tenant's right to the
Premises, Landlord may remove and store the same in any warehouse, at Tenant's
cost, or, in Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord may deem the same abandoned by
Tenant and dispose of such property accordingly. Pursuit of any of the foregoing
remedies is not a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or
of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the
provisions herein contained. The foregoing rights and remedies are cumulative
and in addition to any other rights granted to Landlord by law or in equity, and
the exercise of any of them shall not constitute an election excluding the
exercise by Landlord at any time of another, a different or an inconsistent
remedy. The failure of Landlord at any time to exercise any right or remedy is
not a waiver of its right to exercise such right or remedy at any other future
time.

     16.03 - Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform
obligations required of Landlord under the express terms of this Lease within
thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of
any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall
have therefor been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord
has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of
Landlord's obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord
commences performance within such thirty (30)

day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no
event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result OF
Landlord's default and Tenant's remedies shall be limited to ACTUAL DAMAGES.
Tenant's rights and remedies herein are subject to the PROVISIONS OF Section
17.02.

     SUBORDINATION 17.01- This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all
times to the lien of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust encumbrance or
encumbrances which may now or which may at any time hereafter be made upon the
Building, the Project or upon Landlord's interest therein. This clause shall be
self operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to
effect the subordination of this Lease. Nonetheless, in confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall execute and deliver such further instrument or
instruments subordinating this lease to the lien of any such ground lease,
mortgage or deed of trust, encumbrance or encumbrances as shall be desired by
any mortgagee or party secured or proposed mortgagee or party proposed to be
secured, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant,
irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such instrument or instruments for
Tenant. If the interests of landlord under this Lease shall be transferred by
reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any mortgage or
deed of trust on the premises, the building or the project, tenant shall be
bound to the transferee at the option of the transferee, under the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term remaining,
including any extensions or renewals, with the same force and effect as if the
transferee were Landlord under this lease, and, if requested by transferee,
Tenant agrees to attorney to the transferee as its Landlord. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, for the benefit of Tenant, from any
ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary of any deed of trust with respect to the
Building, a written agreement (in such party's standard form) to recognize
Tenant's interest under this Lease upon such party's foreclosure upon or
purchase of Landlord's interest hereunder, provided Tenant is not then in
default of any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant agrees, upon the request of
any such party, to execute any such written agreement and agree to all
reasonable terms set forth therein. Tenant will reimburse Landlord, as
additional rent, for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining
such written agreement up to a maximum of $1,500.00.

     17.02 - Tenant shall give any mortgagee or trustee of trust deed or deed of
trust ("mortgagee") of the Project or the Premises, by registered or certified
mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant,
provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way
of service on Tenant of a copy of Assignment of Rents and Leases, by estoppel
certificate or otherwise) of the address of such mortgagee. Tenant further
agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty
(30) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot reasonably be
cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be
necessary if Landlord has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is
diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such
default), mortgagee shall have such additional time as is reasonably required
for mortgagee to cure such default (including, without limitation, completion of
foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect such a cure) provided that
mortgagee shall give notice to Tenant of its intent to cure such default and its
best estimate of such additional time as shall be required. Should any
prospective mortgagee require modification or modifications of this Lease, which
modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to
Tenant or in any other way substantially change the rights and obligations of
Tenant hereunder, then, and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be
so modified and agrees to promptly execute whatever documents are required
therefor and failure to do so shall constitute a default.

     17.03 - Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the
contrary, any mortgagee, transferee or purchaser at foreclosure or by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, and any such ground lessor or its successor under any such
ground or underlying lease who requests such attorney shall not (a) be bound by
ANY prepayment of rent for more than one month in advance for which Tenant might
have paid more than the current month's rent to any prior lessor (including
Landlord) so that rent shall be payable after such deed of trust or mortgage
foreclosure or termination of the ground or underlying lease, as the case may
be, in case of a requested attorney as aforesaid, in accordance with the terms
of the Lease as if such prepayment of rent for more than one month in advance
had not been made, nor (b) be bound by any amendment or modification to the
Lease or by any waiver or forbearance on the part of any prior lessor (including
Landlord) made or given without the written consent of Landlord's first
mortgagee or ground lessor; nor (c) be liable for any act or omission OF any
prior lessor (including Landlord); nor (d) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord).
Landlord's mortgagee or transferee shall be discharged of any responsibility
hereunder to Tenant which may have arisen by reason of the mortgagee or
transferee becoming a mortgagee or transferee in possession, a lessor or
otherwise after such mortgagee or transferee disposes of its interest in the
Building of which the Premises forms a part.

     SURRENDER OF POSSESSION 18.01 - Tenant covenants, at the expiration or
other termination of this Lease, to remove all goods and effects from the
Premises not the property of Landlord, to remove all non-standard alterations
and restore the Premises to its initial state (or such previous condition as
Landlord shall designate, at its sole option), unless Landlord has agreed in
writing to allow such alterations to remain, all at tenants expense, and to
yield up to Landlord the Premises and all keys, gate cards, security cards,
locks and other fixtures connected therewith in good repair, order and condition
in all respects, reasonable wear and use thereof and damage by fire or other
casualty, not caused by Tenant's act or neglect, only excepted. At the time of
Landlord's approval of any non-standard alterations, Landlord will designate

Lease.

possession of the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease, and
Tenant shall continue to occupy the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent to so holdover, Tenant shall become a tenant at will. For so long as
Tenant remains in possession of the Premises as a tenant at will, Tenant shall
be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except
that Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord Basic Rent in an amount equal to
one hundred fifty percent of the monthly rate at which the same were payable
hereunder just prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease determined
(without giving effect to any abatement thereof). Notwithstanding any such
continued occupancy of the Premises by Tenant following the expiration or
termination of the Term, Landlord shall continue to be entitled to retake or
recover possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for
any losses, liabilities, expenses or damages which Landlord may suffer or incur
by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender possession of the Premises
immediately upon the expiration or termination of the Term hereof (including any
renewals or extensions thereof by written agreement of the parties), and
Landlord's acceptance of rent during such period shall in no way be construed as
a waiver of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19.01 or any
other rights of Landlord under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees that, except as
expressly modified above, all the obligations of Tenant and all rights of
Landlord applicable during the Term of this Lease shall be equally applicable
during such period of subsequent occupancy.

     ESTOPPELS 20.01 - Tenant shall, without charge therefor, at any time and
from time to time, within five (5) days after request by Landlord, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written estoppel certificate certifying to
Landlord, any mortgagee, transferee, assignee of a mortgagee, or any purchaser
of the Building or the Project, or any other person designated by Landlord, as
of the date of such estoppel certificate: (a) that Tenant is in possession of
the Premises; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or
if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and setting forth such modification); (c) whether or not there are than
existing any set-offs or defenses against the enforcement of any right or remedy
of Landlord, or any duty or obligation of Tenant hereunder (and, if so,
specifying the same in detail); (d) the amount of the Basic Rent and the dates
through which Basic Rent and additional rent have been paid; (e) that Tenant has
no knowledge of any then uncured defaults on the part of Landlord under this
Lease (or if Tenant has knowledge of any such uncured defaults, specifying the
same in detail); (f) that Tenant has no knowledge of any event having occurred
that authorizes the termination of this Lease by Tenant (or if Tenant has such
knowledge, specifying the same in detail); (g) the amount of any security
deposit held by Landlord; and (h) such other information requested by mortgagee.
Failure to deliver the certificate within ten days shall be conclusive upon
Tenant for the benefit of Landlord and any successor to Landlord that this Lease
is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be
represented by the parry requesting the certificate. If Tenant fails to deliver
the certificate within the ten days after request, Tenant by such failure
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as its special attorney-in-fact to
execute and deliver the certificate to any third parry, and the contents and
accuracy of any such certificate so executed and delivered shall be conclusively
upon Tenant for the benefit of Landlord and any successor to Landlord.

to temporarily relocate the Equipment in order to allow Landlord to complete
repairs, maintenance or modification of the Building or the Project. In
exercising its rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
Landlord will use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's
use of the Equipment.

     (g) Tenant shall use any such communications Equipment for internal
corporate purposes only. No Equipment which Tenant is permitted to install on
the roof of the Building in accordance with the terms of this Section 25.19
shall be utilized by anyone other than Tenant or in any manner as a source of
revenue to Tenant.

     RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 26.01 - (a) Subject to the terms of this Section
26.01, Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer with respect to all space on the
second floor of the Building which becomes available for leasing during the Term
hereof (the "Expansion Space"). Landlord will notify Tenant of the availability
of any portion of the Expansion Space, if and when said space becomes available
for leasing during the Term. Following Tenant's receipt of such notice, Tenant
will have ten (10) days during which to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's
intent to lease the available Expansion Space or to reject leasing same.
Tenant's failure to timely exercise its Right of First Offer within said ten
(10) day period shall be deemed an absolute waiver by Tenant of its right to
lease the available Expansion Space described in Landlord's notice. Upon
Tenant's rejection (or deemed rejection) of the available Expansion Space,
Landlord shall be free to lease said space to any other person or entity upon
terms determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant's Right
of First Offer shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) at the time of
the exercise of such right and throughout the period prior to Landlord's
delivery of such Expansion Space to Tenant, there is no existing Event of
Default which is not remedied within the applicable cure periods set forth in
Article 16 hereof; and (ii) throughout the period following Landlord's delivery
of the Premises to Tenant and prior to Landlord's delivery of any such Expansion
Space to Tenant, the original named Tenant is in possession of the entire
Premises (as the same is defined in Section 1.01 hereof).

     (b) Upon Tenant's timely and proper exercise of the Right of First Offer,
Tenant's leasing of the applicable Expansion Space shall be upon all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease as modified by the terms of this subparagraph
(b). Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Space to Tenant in its then current
condition (unless the parties otherwise agree in writing). Upon Landlord's
delivery of the applicable Expansion Space, the Premises (as defined in Section
1.01 hereof) shall include the applicable Expansion Space, and the rentable
square footage thereof shall be appropriately increased. Tenant shall pay
Landlord Basic Rent in an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent (as defined in
Section 2.03 above) for the applicable Expansion Space.

     (c) If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Right of First Offer
granted hereby, prior to Landlord's

                                       20
<PAGE>

delivery of the applicable Expansion Space to Tenant, Tenant and Landlord shall
execute an amendment to the Lease memorializing said expansion of the Premises.
If Tenant refuses to execute a document memorializing the terms of such
expansion, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right first offer
granted hereby.

     (d) The parties acknowledge that the Expansion Space is currently leased to
a third party, and Landlord shall not have any obligation to take action to
regain possession of the Expansion Space for the purpose of offering the same to
Tenant.

     (e) In the event of: (i) a failure of any of the conditions set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (a) above prior to Landlord's delivery of
the applicable Expansion Space to Tenant, or (ii) Tenant's failure to take
possession of the applicable Expansion Space: (x) Tenant shall pay Landlord upon
demand, as Additional Rent hereunder, any costs incurred by Landlord with
respect to the applicable Expansion Space, including but not limited to the cost
of any improvements to the applicable Expansion Space (which shall be computed
without reference to any Expansion Space Improvement Allowance, which shall no
longer apply), and any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with
Tenant's exercise of the Right of First Offer with respect to the applicable
Expansion Space, and (y) notwithstanding the fact that Tenant shall not occupy
the Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as and when the same come due
all Basic Rent and additional rent due with respect to the Expansion Space for
the remainder of the Term (less any proceeds received by Landlord with respect
to any reletting of same). In the event of: (i) a failure of any of the
conditions set forth in subparagraph (a) above prior to Landlord's delivery of
the applicable Expansion Space to Tenant, or (ii) Tenant's failure to take
possession of the applicable Expansion Space, and a reasonable determination
that Tenant will not take possession of the applicable Expansion Space, Landlord
shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages arising
therefrom.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord has hereunto set its hand and seal, or has
caused its name to be hereunto subscribed and Tenant has hereunto set its hand
and seal, or has caused its corporate name to be hereunto subscribed and its
corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its duly authorized
officers, as the case may be, as of the day and year first above written.

     pertaining to construction and installation. This provision shall apply to
     all work performed on or about the Premises or Project including
     installation of telephones, telegraph equipment, electrical devices and
     attachments and installations of any nature affecting floors, walls,
     woodwork, trim, windows, ceilings and equipment or any other physical
     portion of the Premises or Project.

3.   Tenant shall not at any time occupy any part of the Premises or Project as
     sleeping or lodging quarters.

4.   Tenant shall not place, install or operate on the Premises or in any part

     caustics, flammable explosives or hazardous material without written
     consent of Landlord.

5.   Landlord shall not be responsible for lost or stolen personal property,
     equipment, money or jewelry from the Premises or the Project regardless of

6.   No dogs, cats, fowl or other animals shall be brought into or kept in or
     about the Premises or Project.

     movement through the Building entrances or lobby shall be restricted to
     hours designated by Landlord. All such movement shall be carried out in a
     manner which takes into account limitations imposed by safety or other
     concerns which may prohibit any article, equipment or any other item from
     being brought into the Building. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against
     all risks and claims of damage to person and property arising in connection
     with any

     said movement.

     and regulations as in its judgment may from time to time be necessary for
     the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises and for the preservation

     This Exhibit C is attached to and made a part of that certain Agreement of
Lease, dated as of the day of 20th day of August, 1999 (the "Lease") by and
between STARWOOD URBAN RETAIL I, LLC (hereinafter refer to as "Landlord") and

     (b) Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord plans and SPECIFICATIONS covering
all Tenant Improvements in accordance with the requirements therefor set forth
below within forty (40) days of execution of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges

Project or any adjoining space in the Building in which the Premises are
located. If the Landlord does not approve said plans and specifications,
Landlord shall advise Tenant of those revisions or corrections which Landlord
requires and Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days thereafter, submit proposed

requirements, to Landlord for its approval in accordance with this Exhibit C.

building inspector(s), fire marshal and any other governmental authority having
jurisdiction), (3) any necessary approvals from utility providers for any
additional connections related to the Tenant Improvements, (4) a construction
management fee payable to Landlord to cover costs associated with reviewing

excluded for the purpose of calculating said construction management fee), and
(5) all costs and expenses incurred in the construction of Tenant Improvements
