2. RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT:
(a) In consideration of said Lease, the Tenant, without prior written
notice or demand, agrees to pay to the Landlord as minimum rent for said
premises monthly payments as follows:
Months Rate /RSF Monthly
1-12 $20.00 $8,733.33

(b) All of which said payments shall be due and payable in advance on
the first day of each and every calendar month at the office of the Landlord, or
such other place as the Landlord from time to time, in writing, may designate.
With the execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with the Landlord the sum
of $18,340.00 of which $8,733.33 shall be applied as rent from February 1, 2000
through February 29, 2000 and the balance of $9,606.67 shall be held by Landlord
as a Security Deposit.
(c) Security Deposit is defined as monies pledged as security for the
payment of the rent and other charges herein agreed to be paid, and for the
faithful performance of all the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease.
If at any time during the term of this Lease Tenant shall be in default in the
performance of any provision of the Lease, and shall fail to remedy or cure said
default after having received fifteen (15) days written notice of same, then,
the Landlord may, at its option, apply monies held as partial or full
satisfaction of said default or declare said deposit to be forfeited. Upon full
and satisfactory completion of this Lease, said deposit shall be refunded to the
Tenant without interest.
(d) No dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to Landlord or Tenant
obligations under this Lease shall excuse the payment of rent or the faithful
performance of the other conditions of said Lease by either party.
3. POSSESSION:
(a) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of
the said premises to the Tenant at the commencement of the term hereof, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to the Tenant
for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event the term of the
Lease shall
1
2
be amended to commence on the date when Landlord can deliver possession and the
expiration date shall be extended accordingly. If permission is given to Tenant
to occupy the premises prior to the commencement date, such occupancy shall be
subject to all provisions of this Lease, and if the term hereof commences on a
later date than the commencement date pursuant to the provision set forth above,
the Parties hereto agree to execute and acknowledge a written statement setting
forth the actual date of commencement of this Lease and the termination date.
This Lease shall be in full force and effect even though either Party may fail
or refuse to execute such Statement.
(b) The taking of possession of said premises by the Tenant shall be
conclusive evidence as against the Tenant that said premises were in good and
satisfactory condition when possession of same was taken.
4. LATE CHARGE: Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely
difficult and impractical to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited
to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the premises.
Therefore, in the event Tenant should fail to pay any installment of rent or any
sum due hereunder after such amount is due, Tenant shall, upon being billed, pay
to Landlord as additional rent, a late charge equal to 10% of each such
installment or other sum or $25.00 per month, whichever is greater. Said late
charge shall be assessed on the 15th day of each month. A $20.00 charge will be
paid by the Tenant to the Landlord for each returned check.

by its architect and covering the Building Standard Work which is to be done by
the Landlord. The cost of these plans shall be borne by the Landlord. Tenant
shall pay for non-standard construction and engineering drawings or any
additional costs for drawings occasioned by special installation and Tenant
shall be responsible for the design, function and maintenance of such special
improvements or not installed by

Landlord at Tenant's request.
(d) If, upon Tenant's request and submission by Tenant (at Tenant's sole
cost and expense) of the necessary drawings, plans and specifications (which
drawings, plans and specifications are expressly subject to Landlord's written
approval), Landlord may agree to do other work in addition to that work as
specified as Building Standard Work, such other work (herein called "Additional
Work") shall be done at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Prior to commencing any
Additional Work requested by Tenant, Landlord shall submit to Tenant written
estimates of the cost of Additional Work and Tenant shall approve said estimates
in writing within ten (10) business days from the receipt thereof. Landlord
shall not be authorized to proceed thereon until such estimate is mutually
agreeable and approved in writing. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord in advance
upon being billed therefor the costs of all Additional Work, together with
fifteen percent (15%) of said cost for Landlord's overhead and profit. Tenant
may also use its own fully licensed and bonded contractor, provided it has
Landlord's prior written approval.
(e) Notwithstanding the date provided in said Lease for commencement of
the terms thereof, Tenant's obligation to pay rent thereunder shall not commence
until Landlord shall have substantially completed all Building Standard Work and
Additional Work; provided, however, that Landlord is not delayed in
substantially completing the demised premises as a result of:
(1) Tenant's failure to furnish approval of said Plans as specified
above, or
(2) Tenant's failure to furnish Plans for Additional Work, approve
Landlord' s cost estimates within the time specified above, or
(3) Tenant' s request for materials, finishes or installations other
than Building Standard, or
(4) Tenant's changes in the Building Standard Work or the Plans therefor
or in the drawings, plans and specifications for Additional Work
(notwithstanding Landlord's approval of any such changes), or
(5) The performance by Tenant or any other person, firm or corporation
employed by Tenant, including but not limited to, the completion of
any work done by Tenant or said person, firm or corporation employed
by Tenant.

any of the provisions, outlined above, the Landlord may, at its option, commence
the Lease term, after having given the Tenant ten (10) days written notice
thereof.

to pay, on demand, costs for any damage or repairs to the premises caused by the
misuse of Tenant, its agents or employees.
7. PRORATION: Whenever the term "pro rata" shall appear in this Lease, it shall
refer to Tenant's gross square footage (5,240) as that figure compares to the
total square footage (66,063) included in any billing for taxes, insurance or
other services being provided for that portion of the leased premises.

any part of the outside or inside of the building or the premises without the
prior written consent of the Landlord. If the Landlord shall have given such
consent at any time, whether before or after the execution of the Lease, such
consent shall in no way operate as a waiver or release of any of the provisions
of this Lease and shall be deemed to relate only to the particular sign,
placard, picture, advertisement, name, notice, door sign or window covering so
consented to by the Landlord and shall not be construed as dispensing with the
necessity of obtaining the specific written consent of the Landlord with respect
to each and every such sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name, notice door
sign or window covering. All door signs shall be installed by the Landlord, at
the expense of the Tenant.
9. MAINTENANCE, UTILITIES, AND JANITORIAL: The Landlord and Tenant agree that

any apparatus or device which will in any way increase the amount of
electricity, gas or water normally supplied for use of the premises as general
office space; nor connect with electric current, except through existing

electric current in excess of that normally supplied for use of the premises as
general office space, Tenant shall first obtain the written consent the
Landlord. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord may cause a
water, gas or electric meter to be installed in the premises to measure the
amount of water, gas and electric current consumed for any such other use. The
cost of any meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof, shall be
paid for by the Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon
demand, the cost incurred for all water, gas and electric current consumed, as
shown by said meters, at the rates charged by the local public
authority/utility. Any additional expense in monitoring the water, gas and
electric current consumed will be paid for by the Tenant.
(c) Landlord and Tenant agree that it is in the best interest of both
Parties to keep the utility expense in the building to a minimum. As a result,
Landlord and Tenant agree that normal utilities will be available to the
Tenant's premises during normal business hours, which shall be from 7:00 A.M. to
7:00 P.M. on normal days. Normal business hours are Monday through Friday each
week with the exception of all National Holidays. It is understood that the
Landlord may elect not to provide electricity, heating or air conditioning to
the premises outside the normal business hours on normal business days, outlined
above. Timed override buttons will be provided for after hours HVAC use. Each
time a button is used, Tenant will be billed at a rate of $35.00 per hour.
(d) Landlord shall provide, at Landlord's expense, five-day a week
janitorial service for the demised premises and common areas. Tenant will pay
the Landlord a reasonable charge for any extra cleaning of the premises required
because of the carelessness or indifference of Tenant, or because of the nature
of Tenant's business, and for any special cleaning done at the request of
Tenant. If the cost to Landlord for cleaning the premises shall be increased due
to the installation in the premises, at Tenant's request, of any materials or
finish other than those which are Building Standard, Tenant shall pay the
Landlord an amount equal to such increase in cost.
(e) Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be held liable for
4
5
failure to supply heating, elevator, janitorial or lighting services, when such
failure is not due to gross negligence on its part, it being understood that
Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue services, at such times
as may be necessary by reason of accident, repairs, alterations or improvements,
or whenever, by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, or any other
happening, Landlord is unable to furnish same.
(f) Tenant agrees that if any payment of rent or other charges as herein
provided shall remain unpaid for more then twenty (20) days after the same shall
become due, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, discontinue furnishing
lighting, heating and janitorial services, until all arrears of rent shall have
been paid and discharged, and that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, and
that such action shall in no way operate to release Tenant from the obligations
hereunder.
(g) Landlord shall pay all expenses involved in maintaining the
equipment, structure, common areas, and landscaping for the building in which
Tenant's demised premises are located.
(h) Tenant shall place or have placed solid pads under all rolling

by actual operating costs for the calendar year January 1, through December 31,
2000.
(a) Operating costs are defined as any and all expenditures incurred by
the Landlord in connection with the maintenance and operation of the building of
which the premises are a part. These costs may include, but are not limited to,
equipment, landscaping, adjacent walks, parking areas, as well as any charges
for electricity, gas, sewer and water or other utilities furnished to the
building, including any taxes thereon. Other charges may include janitorial
services and supplies, management services, and any additional expenditures
which may be required from time to time in maintaining the operation of a
first-class office building.
(b) Operating costs will be reviewed annually to determine the Tenant's
pro rata share of any accrued obligation for increases, in monthly operating
costs. Landlord will furnish to Tenant a written statement showing, in
reasonable detail, Landlord's operating costs for the months that are being
billed. Tenants having three (3) month's history, or longer, in any six (6)
month billing period, will be billed for that period. Tenants with less than
three (3) month's history, will be carried forward to the next billing period.
In the event that Building Operating Costs decrease, the base costs as
heretofore defined, shall act as minimum Building Operating Costs for the
purposes of any account adjustments. Standard acceptable practices will be
followed by the Landlord and, in the event of any dispute as to any additional
rental due hereunder, Tenant will have the right to inspect Landlord's
accounting records at Landlord's accounting office. Any inspection must be made
within thirty (30) days of receipt of billing.
11. TAXES AND INSURANCE:

demised premises. Real property taxes and insurance costs for the base year will
be determined by the actual real property taxes and insurance costs incurred by
Landlord in the calendar year January 1, through December 31, 2000 provided,
however, that the base year for real property taxes shall be the first year the
property is assessed for the increased value attributable to Landlord's building
improvements. If said costs increase above the base year, the Tenant shall pay a
pro rata share of the increase.
5
6
The amount to be paid for any increase shall be paid by the Tenant annually,
within thirty (30) days of the billing.
(b) Tenant will be responsible for payment of its personal property tax
and rent tax. As used in the above paragraph, "real property tax" shall mean any
form of assessment (both general and special), levy, penalty or tax (other than
estate or inheritance tax) imposed by any authority having direct or indirect
power to tax any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the leased premises,
including any tax on rent (other than income tax) in lieu of or in addition to

improvements shall be delivered up to Landlord with the premises. All shelves,
bins, equipment and trade fixtures installed by Tenant may be removed by Tenant
at the termination of this Lease if Tenant so elects, and shall be so removed if
required by Landlord. All such removals and restorations, shall be accomplished
in a good workmanlike manner so as not to damage the primary structural
qualities of the building and other improvements situated on the demised
premises.
13. MECHANICS LIENS: Tenant agrees that it will promptly pay for any work done
in or about the demised premises, and will not permit or suffer any mechanics
liens to attach to the demised premises, and shall promptly cause any claim for

Tenant desires to contest any such claim.
14. LEASE ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING: Tenant shall not have the right to assign
this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the demised premises without
first obtaining prior written consent of Landlord. The Tenant shall not change
the ownership of the business in order to avoid this provision, and will, at the
request of the Landlord, provide whatever documentation is necessary to
establish that the Tenant is in compliance with this provision. If the Landlord,
upon the request of the Tenant allows Tenant to assign or sublet the premises,
then, in the "event of default" as herein defined, Landlord, in addition to any
other remedies herein provided or provided by law, may at its option collect
directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents coming due to Tenant under
such assignment, or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to it by
Tenant hereunder, and no such obligation shall be construed to constitute a
novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations
hereunder. Assignor or Sublessor may not collect rent in excess of the existing
Lease rates and any such sum received by Assignor or Sublessor must be
immediately paid to the Landlord, less any costs Sublessor may have for said

term hereof or any extension thereof, shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the demised premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender

such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the
balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.
34. FORCE MAJEURE: In the event that either Party hereto shall be delayed or
hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required by reason of
strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of
power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war or
other reason of a like nature not the fault of the Party delayed in performing
work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of
any such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the
performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the
period of such delay. The provisions of this section shall not operate to excuse
Tenant from prompt payment of the base rental or any other payments required by,
the terms of this Lease.
