condition, with the exception of the scope of work as provided in Exhibit B
contained herein as part hereof, as of the execution of this Lease, subject to
all recorded matters, laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations and orders.
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation as to the condition of the Premises or the suitability of the
Premises for Tenant's intended use.

3. TERM.

3.1 TERM. The term (the "Term") of this Lease shall be for a
period of Ten (10) years and two (2) months commencing September 1, 1999 (the
"Commencement Date") and expiring October 31, 2009 (the "Expiration Date"),
unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.

3.2 DELAY IN OCCUPANCY. If Landlord cannot deliver possession of
the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date THROUGH NO FAULT OR DELAY BY
LANDLORD, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall
such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant
hereunder, except that the Commencement Date shall be delayed until possession
of the Premises is delivered to Tenant and the Term shall be extended for a
period equal to the delay in the delivery of the Premises, plus the number of
days necessary to end the term on the last day of a month. If Landlord fails to
deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the
Commencement Date specified in Section 3.1 above, through no fault or delay on
the part of Tenant, Tenant may cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord
within twenty (20) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, in
which event this Lease and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
terminated. If Tenant fails to give such notice within such twenty (20) day
period, Tenant's right to cancel this Lease shall expire and the Term shall
commence upon delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. In the event of
any delay hereunder, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment
hereto setting forth the revised Commencement and Expiration Dates.

3.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to
the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be upon all of the terms and
conditions contained herein but shall not advance the Expiration Date.

4. RENT.

4.1 BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as base rent (the
"Base Rent") see Section 1 J/K in equal monthly installments throughout the term

due and payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each month, without
offset, deduction or demand, except That Any Partial Month Rent shall be
prorated. The burden of proof of full payment shall be upon Tenant. Upon any
termination of this Lease not resulting from Tenant's default, and after Tenant
has vacated the Premises as required herein, an equitable adjustment shall be
made as to all payments made by or due from Tenant.

4.4 LATE CHARGES. Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly may
cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The amount of such costs are
difficult to ascertain, and therefore on any Rent payment not made within ten
(10) days after NOTICE TO TENANT THAT it is due, THEN Tenant shall pay Landlord
a late charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the overdue amount. The parties
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

in this Lease shall be obtained by multiplying the expense in question by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the square footage area of the
Premises and the denominator of which shall be the rentable square footage area
of the Building. If a particular expense is incurred or charged to more than one
building in the Project rather than solely to the Building, then, for the
purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share with respect the Building,
such multi-building expense shall be allocated to Building by multiplying the
expense in question by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the rentable
square footage of the Building and the denominator of which shall be the
rentable square footage area of the buildings for which the expense was incurred
or otherwise allocated to, with the resulting number being used to calculate
Tenant's Proportionate Share as to the Premises. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN
THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY, TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF COMMON EXPENSES AND
REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND INSURANCE RELATING TO TAXES, INSURANCE AND COMMON AREA
MAINTENANCE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS PER SQUARE FOOT DURING THE

condition of the Premises, or (if) the presence of Hazardous or toxic Materials
in or on the Premises (for example, the New Jersey Environmental Cleanup
Responsibility Act, the Illinois Responsible Property Transfer Act or similar
applicable state laws), including but not limited to any reporting or filing
requirements imposed by such laws.

10. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions,
replacements or improvements to the Premises without the express written consent
of Landlord, WHICH CONSENT SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED.
Landlord may require Tenant to provide demolition and/or lien and completion
bonds in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove
any alterations, additions, or improvements constructed in violation of this
Paragraph 10 upon Landlord's written request. All alterations, additions, and
improvements will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformity with all applicable laws and regulations, by a contractor approved by
Landlord WHICH APPROVAL SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED. Tenant
agrees that should it make any alterations, additions, replacements or
improvements to the Premises, it will not be acting as agent or servant of
Landlord in making any alterations and shall pay when due all claims for labor
and material furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten
(10) days' prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the Premises.
Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility on the
Premises.

11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

11.1 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Except for any repairs
occasioned by the act or omission of Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees,
contractors, licensees or invitees, which repairs shall be the responsibility of
Tenant, Landlord shall maintain in good repair the roof, foundations and
structural walls of the Premises, not including doors and windows AND THE
PARKING LOT AND COMMON AREAS OF THE BUILDING AND PROJECT. Landlord shall not be
obligated to make any repairs until notified in writing by Tenant, and Landlord
shall then have a reasonable period of time to make such repairs. Landlord shall
not be liable for any damage or loss occasioned by Landlord's failure to repair
the Premises unless it shall have failed to make such repair within a reasonable
time following written notice from Tenant of the need for such repair. TENANT,
UPON SIMULTANEOUS WRITTEN NOTICE TO LANDLORD, MAY MAKE EMERGENCY REPAIRS, BUT
ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO ALLEVIATE THE EMERGENCY, AND MAY OFFSET THE COST
OF SUCH REPAIRS AGAINST RENT PAYMENTS.

11.2 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall at its own expense
keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the entire Premises, other
than those portions for which Landlord shall be responsible as set out above,
including, without limitation, interior walls, floors, ceiling, electrical.
Maintenance and repairs of all improvements made by Tenant shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant. Tenant shall keep the Premises and alongside of and in
the vicinity of same in a good, clean, and sanitary condition and appearance.
TENANT, AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE SHALL ENTER INTO A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT
RELATING TO THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING HVAC EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THE
TERM AND EXTENSION OF LEASE AGREEMENT. THE FOLLOWING OUTLINES LANDLORD AND
TENANT UNDERSTANDING OF HVAC EXPENSES DURING THE INITIAL TERM OF THE LEASE.

1. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LEASE, LANDLORD, AT ITS
COST, SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS OR
REPLACEMENT TO HVAC EQUIPMENT NOT COVERED BY THE
MAINTENANCE CONTRACT.

2. DURING YEARS 2-10 OF INITIAL LEASE TERM TENANT SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRST $2,000.00 OF REPAIRS NOT COVERED
BY MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AND LANDLORD SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EXPENSES ABOVE $2,000.00 THAT ARE
NOT COVERED BY THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.

If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Premises AS
PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 11, Landlord may, on ten (10) days' prior notice
(except that no notice shall be required in case of emergency) enter the
Premises and perform such repair and maintenance on behalf of Tenant. In such
case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs so incurred immediately upon
demand.

12. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, and its agents or other
representatives, shall have the right to enter into and upon the Premises or any
part thereof at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining the same, AND
AFTER REASONABLE NOTICE TO TENANT (EXCEPT IN EMERGENCIES) to make repairs or
alterations, or showing the Premises to prospective purchasers of the Building.
LANDLORD SHALL USE ITS BEST EFFORTS NOT TO DISTURB OR INTERFERE WITH TENANT'S
USE OF THE PREMISES WHILE LANDLORD PERFORMS ANY SUCH REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS.
Tenant agrees at any time within six (6) calendar months before the expiration
of this Lease to allow Landlord to enter upon the Premises TO EXHIBIT IT TO
PROSPECTIVE TENANTS and will permit all persons authorized by Landlord to view
said Premises at reasonable times.

13. UTILITIES. All heat, electric current, gas, garbage, or
utility charges of any nature used on the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for interruption in or curtailment of any
utility service, nor shall any such interruption or curtailment constitute a
constructive eviction or grounds for rental abatement in whole or in part.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. No portion of the Premises or of
Tenant's interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity,
whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of
Tenant or any change in controlling interest of Tenant, without Landlord's prior
written consent, WHICH CONSENT SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED.
Any attempted transfer without consent shall be void and shall constitute a
breach of this Lease. No transfer permitted hereunder shall release Tenant or
change Tenant's primary liability to pay the Rent. Landlord's acceptance of Rent
from any other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Lease. Consent to
one transfer is not a consent to any subsequent transfer. If Tenant's transferee
defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without
pursuing remedies against the transferee. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, IN THE
EVENT OF ANY SUBLET OR ASSIGNMENT, ANY PROFIT SHALL BE SPLIT EQUALLY BETWEEN
LANDLORD AND TENANT. TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, WITHOUT LANDLORD'S CONSENT, TO
ENTER INTO AN ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE WITH: (I) TENANT'S PARENT CORPORATION; (II)
ANY SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION OF TENANT OR TENANT'S PARENT CORPORATION; OR (III)
ANY AFFILIATED ENTITY IN WHICH TENANT, TENANT'S PARENT CORPORATION OR ANY
SUBSIDIARY OF EITHER HOLDS A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OWNERSHIP
INTERESTS. NONE OF THESE EXEMPT TRANSFERS SHALL OBLIGATE TENANT TO SHARE WITH
LANDLORD ANY CONSIDERATION PAID IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. REGARDLESS OF ANY
TRANSFER, TENANT SHALL IN ALL INSTANCES REMAIN LIABLE UNDER THE LEASE.

15. TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant agrees to provide comprehensive
public liability insurance with an insurance company REASONABLY satisfactory to
Landlord, naming Landlord as an additional insured, in amounts not less than
$500,000 per person and $1,000,000 per accident, and $500,000 for damage to
property. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of such policy of insurance
prior to the Commencement Date and a copy of any renewal policy at least ten
(10) days prior to the expiration date of any existing policy. Such policies
shall specifically provide that they shall not be cancelable or subject to
reduction of coverage except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Lessor.

16. INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against and
hold Tenant harmless from any and all cost, claims or liability arising from any
breach or default in the performance of Landlord obligations under the Lease OR
ANY MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATION OR MATERIAL BREACH OF WARRANTY BY LANDLORD UNDER
THIS LEASE; Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless
from any and all costs, claims or liability arising from: (a) Tenant's use of
the Premises; (b) the conduct of Tenant's business or anything else done or
permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Premises; (c) any breach or
default in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; or (d) any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall
defend Landlord against any such costs, claims or liabilities at Tenant's
expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord or, at Landlord's
election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any legal fees or costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with any such claim. As a material part of the
consideration to Landlord, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH 16 Tenant
hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about
the Premises arising from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
respect thereof against Landlord, except for any claim arising out of Landlord's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

17. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant agree, provided
that such agreement does not invalidate or prejudice any policy of insurance,
that, in the event the Premises or the fixtures, leasehold improvements,
furniture, equipment's, or merchandise therein, are damaged or destroyed by fire
or other casualty which is covered by insurance of either the Landlord or the
Tenant, the rights of either party, if any, against the other, or against the
employees, agents, or licensees of any party with respect to such damage or
destruction and with respect to any loss resulting therefrom, including the
interruption of the business of any party, are hereby waived to the extent of
the coverage of said insurance. Landlord and Tenant agree further that all
policies of fire, extended coverage, business interruption, all risk or other
insurance covering the Premises, or the contents, fixtures, equipment and
improvements thereon, shall, if obtainable, contain a clause or endorsement
providing in substance that the insurance shall not be prejudiced by virtue of
this waiver. Any additional premiums on account thereof shall be paid by the
party benefited.

17.1 LIENS. Tenant shall not permit any lien or claims for
lien including without limitation, any mechanic, laborer or supplier lien to be
filed against the Building or any part thereof arising out of work performed or
alleged to have been performed by, at the direction of or on behalf of Tenant.
If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within thirty (30)
days after such filing either have such lien or claim for lien released of
record or MAY CONTEST SUCH LIEN AND IN SUCH CASES shall deliver to Landlord a
bond or other security in form, content, amount, and issued by a company
satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord, and others designated by
Landlord against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for
lien released or to deliver such bond to Landlord. If Tenant fails to delete
contest any lien, Landlord, without investigating the validity of such lien, may
pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for
the amount so paid by Landlord including Landlord's expense and attorney's fees.

18. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

18.1 Partial Damage to Premises. Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the
Premises. If the damage can be completely repaired within ninety (90) days from
the date of such damage and the cost of such repairs do not exceed fifty percent
of the value of the Premises, Landlord shall repair the damage as soon as
reasonably possible. If the damage cannot be repaired within 90 days of the date
of such damages or the cost of such repairs exceeds 50% of the value of the
premises this Lease SHALL TERMINATE as of the date the damage occurred. Landlord
shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the
occurrence of the damage, whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or
terminate the Lease. If the damage to the Premises occurs during the last six
(6) months of the Lease Term, and if such damage or destruction is not the
result of the act or omission of Tenant, Landlord or Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease.

18.2 TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL DESTRUCTION. If the Premises is
totally or substantially destroyed by any cause whatsoever, or if the Premises
is in a building which is substantially destroyed (even though the Premises is
not totally or substantially destroyed), this Lease shall terminate as of the
date the destruction occurred. However, if the Premises can be rebuilt within
one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of destruction, Landlord may
elect to rebuild the Premises at Landlord's own expense, in which case, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of
such election within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of total or
substantial destruction.

18.3 TEMPORARY REDUCTION OF RENT. If the Premises is totally
or substantially destroyed, or if the Premises is damaged through no fault of
Tenant, and the Premises is repaired pursuant to the provisions of this
PARAGRAPH 18, Rent payable during the period of such damage, repair and/or
restoration shall be reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Tenant's
use of the Premises is impaired. Tenant shall not be entitled to any other
compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any
damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Premises.

19. Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Premises is taken
through eminent domain or sold under threat of such taking (all of which are
called "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold
on the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs
first. Any Condemnation award or payment shall be distributed in the following
order: (a) first, to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of
trust encumbering the Premises for the amount of its interest in the Premises;
(b) second, to Landlord for reduction in the value of the leasehold, the taking
of the fee, or otherwise; (c) third, to tenant for
19
reimbursement of unamortized tenant improvements, trade fixtures and moving
expense caused by such condemnation.

20. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES AND BANKRUPTCY.

A. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any installment of
Rent or in the payment of any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this
Lease and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after payment thereof is
due, or if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the
other covenants or conditions in this Lease to be performed by Tenant and such
default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant
(provided, however, that if Tenant shall default with respect to such payments
or observances or performances more than twice in any six (6) month period
within the Term, then no notice of any further default with respect to such
matters within such period shall be required hereunder), or if a default
involves a hazardous condition or an event which in Landlord's judgment is
materially detrimental to the Building and within the control of Tenant, and is
not cured by Tenant immediately upon written notice to Tenant, or if the
interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be levied upon under execution or other
legal process, or if any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for corporate
reorganization or any similar relief shall be filed by Tenant, or if any
involuntary petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against Tenant under any
federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency act and shall not have been dismissed
within sixty (60) days following the filing thereof, or if a receiver shall be
appointed for Tenant or any of the property of Tenant by any court and such
receiver shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date of
appointment, or if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or if Tenant shall admit in writing its inability to meet its debts as they
mature, or if Tenant shall abandon the Premises, then Landlord may treat the
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a breach of this Lease
and thereupon at its option may, without notice or demand of any kind to Tenant
or any other person, exercise one or more of the following described remedies,
in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:

(i) Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord may
immediately repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover, in addition
to any other sums or damages for which Tenant may be liable to Landlord, as
damages, an amount, if any, equal to the Rent which would have been payable
during any period of rent-free occupancy provided to Tenant by this Lease,
the cost of all leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this
Lease, the cost of all leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection
with this Lease, the cost to Landlord of the initial leasehold improvements
to the Premises, and all other amounts paid to or on behalf of Tenant in
connection with Tenant's entry into this Lease and occupancy of the Premises
(including without limitation any moving cost allowance, payments on
lease(s) assumed by Landlord, payment for preparation of floor plans and the
like), including Landlord's interest expense thereon, together with a sum of
money equal to the excess of the Rent provided to be paid by Tenant for the
balance of the Term over the fair market rental value of the Premises, after
deduction of all anticipated expenses of reletting for said period. Should
the fair market rental value of the Premises after deduction of all
anticipated expenses of reletting for the balance of the

then existing Term exceed the Rent to be paid by Tenant for the balance of the
Term, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay to Tenant the excess or any part
thereof or to credit such excess or any part thereof against any other sums or
damages for which Tenant may be liable to Landlord.

(ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession and may repossess
the Premises by forcible entry or unlawful detainer suit by taking peaceful
possession or otherwise without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord
may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the same for the account of
Tenant; for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord.
For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair,
remodel or alter the Premises. If Landlord shall fail to relet the Premises,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the amount of the Rent for the
balance of the Term. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be
realized from such reletting after payment of the costs and expenses of all
decoration, repairs, remodeling, alterations and additions and the expenses of
such reletting (including broker's fees) to satisfy the Rent provided for in
this Lease and the amounts recoverable by Landlord from Tenant pursuant to
subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, Tenant shall satisfy and pay the same upon
demand therefor from time to time. Landlord may file suit to recover any sums
falling due from time to time and no suit or recovery of any portion due
Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any
amount not previously reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. No waiver of any
default by Tenant shall be implied from any omission by Landlord to take any
action on account of said default if such default persists or shall be repeated,
and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified
in the express waiver and then only for the time and to the extent therein
stated. No failure of Landlord to exercise any power given Landlord hereunder or
to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation hereunder and no custom or
practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a
waiver of Landlord's right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. The
provisions of this Paragraph 20 shall survive any termination of this Lease.

B. The following shall be events of bankruptcy ("Events of Bankruptcy") under
this Lease:

[1] Tenant's becoming insolvent, as that term is defined under the
Bankruptcy Code, or under the insolvency laws of any state, district,
commonwealth or territory of the United States (the "Insolvency Laws");

[2] The appointment of a receiver or custodian for any material part of
Tenant's property or assets, or the institution of a foreclosure action upon any
material part of Tenant's real or personal property;

[3] The filing of a voluntary petition under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws;

[4] The filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant as the subject
debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws, which either [a] is not
dismissed within

sixty (60) thirty (30) days of filing, or [b] results in the issuance of an
order for relief against the debtor; or

[51 Tenant's making or consenting to an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or a common law composition of creditors.

C. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy, Landlord shall have
all rights and remedies available to Landlord pursuant to Subparagraph 20.A
hereof; provided that, while a case under the Bankruptcy Code is pending in
which Tenant is the subject debtor and only for so long as Tenant or its Trustee
in Bankruptcy hereinafter referred to as "Trustee") is in compliance with the
provisions of Subparagraphs D, E and F below, Landlord shall not exercise its
rights and remedies pursuant to Subparagraph 20.A hereof.

D. If Tenant becomes the subject debtor in a case pending under the
Bankruptcy Code, Landlord's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to
Subparagraph 20.C above shall be subject to the rights of Trustee to assume or
assign this Lease. Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this
Lease unless Trustee promptly [i] cures all defaults under this Lease, [ii]
compensates Landlord for monetary damages incurred as a result of such defaults,
and [iii] provides "adequate assurance of future performance" on the part of the
Tenant as debtor in possession or on the part of the assignee tenant.

E. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree in advance that "adequate assurance
of future performance," as used in Subparagraph D above, shall mean that all of
the following minimum criteria must be met:

[1] Trustee must agree that Tenant's business shall be conducted
in a appropriate manner, and that no liquidating sales, auctions, or other
inappropriate business operations shall be conducted on the Premises;

(2] Trustee must agree that the use of the Premises as stated in
this Lease will remain unchanged and that no prohibited use shall be
permitted;

[3] Trustee must agree that the assumption or assignment of this
Lease will not violate or affect the rights of any sublessees of space in
the Premises;

[4] Trustee must pay to Landlord at the time the next monthly
installment of Rent is due under this Lease, in addition to such Monthly
Basic Rent Installment of Rent, an amount equal to the Monthly Basic Rent
Installments due under this Lease for the next three (3) months, said amount
to be held by Landlord in escrow until either Trustee or Tenant defaults in
its payment of Rent or other obligations under this Lease (whereupon
Landlord shall have the right to draw on such escrowed funds to pay all or
any portion of unpaid sums due under this Lease) or until the expiration of
this Lease (whereupon the funds shall be returned to Trustee or Tenant); and

[5] Tenant or Trustee must agree to pay to Landlord promptly at
any time Landlord is authorized to and does' draw on the escrow account the
amount necessary to restore such escrow account to the original level
required by Subparagraph [4] of this Subparagraph E.

F. In the event Tenant is unable to [i] cure its defaults, [ii]
promptly reimburse the Landlord for its monetary damages, [iii] pay the Rent and
all other payments required of Tenant under this Lease on time (or within ten
(10) days of the due date, or [iv] meet the criteria and obligations imposed by
Subparagraph 20.E above, Tenant agrees in advance that it has not met its burden
to provide "adequate assurance of future performance," and this Lease may be
terminated by Landlord in accordance with Subparagraphs 20.A and 20.C above.

G. Any property, furniture or fixtures belonging to Tenant which
Landlord may store shall be stored at Tenant's expense and at Tenant's sole risk
and Landlord shall not be held responsible for any breakage or damage occasioned
by such storing. If this Lease is terminated at the election of Landlord, as
aforesaid, or in any other way, Tenant shall, without demand, surrender and
deliver up said Premises and property peaceably to Landlord immediately upon
such termination, and if Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises, or
any part thereof, one day after the termination of this Lease in any of the ways
above named, Tenant shall be deemed guilty of forcible detainer of the Premises
under the statutes of the State of Kentucky and shall be subject to all the
conditions and provisions above named and to eviction and removal forcibly or
otherwise with or without process of law as above stated. Any property,
furniture or fixtures belonging to Tenant which Landlord may store shall be
stored at Tenant's expense and at Tenant's sole risk and Landlord shall not be
held responsible for any breakage or damage occasioned by such storing after the
commencement of a suit, or after final judgment, for possession of said
Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due from Tenant, and the
payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said suit or said judgment. All
rights of Landlord in the event of default herein enumerated shall be in
addition to and without prejudice to any remedy or remedies which Landlord may
have at law or in equity for nonpayment of rent or for breaches of the covenants
and agreements hereof.

H. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this
Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and not one of them shall be
exclusive of the other, 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,
whether or not stated in this Lease. 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 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.

I. Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any
of its obligations in this Lease Agreement unless and until Landlord shall have
failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days (or such additional
time as is reasonably required to correct any such default provided Landlord
continuously is acting in good faith to cure such default and such default is
capable of being cured) after notice by Tenant to Landlord in writing and
pursuant to the terms of this Lease concerning notice specifying wherein
Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation.

21. INTEREST ON PAST DUE AMOUNTS. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord
which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%)
per annum from the due date of such amount, in addition to any late charges due
under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than
the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum
legal interest rate permitted by law.

22. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount of $ 0.00.

23. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall give written notice of any
failure by Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to
Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord
fails to cure such non-performance within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Tenant's notice. However, if such non-performance reasonably requires more than
thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if such cure is
commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued
to completion.

24. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Should this Lease or the parties' obligations
hereunder be the subject of litigation between Landlord and Tenant, it is
expressly agreed that the prevailing party will have its reasonable legal fees,
costs and expenses reimbursed by the other party.

25. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall
be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, or sent by Federal Express or other

26. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon paying the Rent and observing and
performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to
be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the
Premises for the entire Term, subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

27. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

27.1 SUBORDINATION. Landlord shall have the right to subordinate
this Lease to any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the
Premises, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made
or recorded. However, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises during
the Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any
ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the
lien of its ground lease, deed of

trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall
be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this
Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of
trust or mortgage or date of recording thereof.

27.2 ATTORNMENT. If Landlord's interest in the Premises is
acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee, or
purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or
successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee
or successor as Landlord under this Lease provided such party obtaining
Landlord's interest in the Premises recognizes Tenant's interest under this
Lease and agrees not to disturb the same. Tenant waives the protection of any
statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to
terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer
of Landlord's interest.

27.3 SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. Provided the provisions of
Subparagraphs 27.1 and/or 27.2 are met, Tenant shall sign and deliver any
instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment
or subordination or agreement to do so. Such subordination and attornment
documents may contain such provisions as are customarily required by any ground
lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust or mortgagee. If Tenant fails to do so
within ten (10) days after written request, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and
irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the
attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or
document.

27.4 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagees
and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default
served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been
notified, in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or
otherwise), of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Tenant
further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within
the term provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed
holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such
default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such
additional time as may be necessary, if within such thirty (30) days any
mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the
remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to,
commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in
which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued.

27.5 ASSIGNMENT OR SALE BY LANDLORD. In the event Landlord shall
assign this Lease or sell or convey the Building, the same shall operate to
release Landlord from any future liability for any of the covenants or
conditions, express or implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such
event Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord in
and to this Lease.

28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) business days after

of the Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to the Building and to no other
assets of the Landlord for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this
Lease. Tenant will not seek recourse against Landlord or such individuals or
entities or such other assets for such satisfaction. As used in this Lease, the
term "Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the
Premises or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises at the
time in question. Any Landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved
of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease to
be performed on or after the date of transfer. However, each Landlord shall
deliver to its transferee, by actual transfer or appropriate credits, all funds
previously paid by Tenant if such funds have not yet been applied under the

to any commission in connection herewith. Landlord shall be solely responsible
for any commission or fee or other compensation payable to Broker arising from
this Lease. Tenant and Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless
against any other claims (including court costs and attorneys fees) for
commissions by any other broker.

of term, or otherwise, Tenant shall redeliver to Landlord the Premises broom
clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. In
addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or
improvements (whether or not made with Landlord's consent) prior to the
termination of the Lease and to restore the Premises to its prior condition, all
at Tenant's expense. If Landlord shall require such removal, Landlord shall
provide notice to Tenant no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the
Lease term. All alterations, additions and improvements which Landlord has not
required Tenant to remove and which Tenant has not removed shall become
Landlord's property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of
the Lease. Tenant shall remain liable for holdover rent until the Premises shall
be returned in such order to Landlord.

32. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and
indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred by Landlord from any delay by
Tenant in vacating the Premises. If Tenant

does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease and Landlord thereafter accepts rent from Tenant, Tenant's occupancy of
the Premises shall be a "month-to-month tenancy, subject to all of the terms of
this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Base Rent for
such tenancy shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent in effect at
the expiration of the Lease.

assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms or
provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the contest of this Lease, the

provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term

successors or others using the Premises with Tenant's expressed or implied
permission.

35. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; MODIFICATIONS. This Lease is the
only agreement between the parties pertaining to the lease of the Premises and
no other agreements are effective. All amendments to this Lease shall be in
writing and signed by all parties. Any other attempted amendment shall be void.

36. WAIVERS. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving
party. Landlord's failure to enforce any provision of this Lease or its
acceptance of Rent shall not be a waiver and shall not prevent Landlord from
enforcing that provision or any other provision of this Lease in the future. No
statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying a payment
check shall be binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to
Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of such
statement.

written consent from Landlord. However, either Landlord or Tenant may require

recorded.

party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Tenant.

rights or interests of Tenant's successor are acquired in accordance with the
terms of this Lease. The laws of the State of Kentucky shall govern the
validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.

corporation, each person signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and
warrants that he has full authority to do so and that this Lease binds the
corporation. If Tenant is a partnership, each person signing this Lease for
Tenant represents and warrants that he is a general partner of

the partnership, that he has full authority to sign for the partnership and that

The withdrawal of a General Partner from the Partnership shall not relieve the
General Partner from liability under this Lease and all general partners added
to the Partnership shall be fully liable for the Partnership's obligations
hereunder. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of any general partner's
withdrawal or addition.

40. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. All parties signing this Lease as
Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of Tenant.

41. FORCE MAJEURE. If EITHER PARTY cannot perform any of its
obligations HEREUNDER (EXCEPT TENANT OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT) due to events
beyond their control, the time provided for performing such obligations shall be
extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events. Events beyond
a PARTY'S control include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, civil
commotion, labor disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of
labor or material, government regulation or restriction and weather conditions.

42. EXECUTION OF LEASE. This Lease may be executed in counterparts,
and, when all counterpart documents are executed, the counterparts shall
constitute a single binding instrument.

43. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Tenant's performance of each of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant. Tenant's
right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such
performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and
conditions.

44. SUBMISSION OF LEASE. The submission of this Lease to Tenant for
examination does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation of space. No
agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to the leasing of the Premises
shall become effective or binding until executed by both parties and received by
Tenant.

45.

46. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. During the initial five (5) year term of

tenant. Tenant must notify Landlord in

writing of its desire to lease said additional space within five (5) days after
receiving said notification from Landlord.

47. OPTION TO RENEW. Provided Tenant is not then in default with
respect to this Lease, and has kept and performed all of its obligations under
this Lease, Tenant shall have the right and option, by giving Landlord written
notice of its intention at least six (6) months before the expiration date of
the initial term and/or 1st option period hereof to extend the time of this
Lease for two (2) additional five (5) year periods from the date of expiration
