required to
restore the Building to as good a condition as it was in prior to
such damage,
except if such damage is caused by unauthorized solicitors.

compliance with all applicable laws; provided, however, if Tenant
fails to make

make repairs
or replacements, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the
Landlord within

10.4 Any and all alterations to the Premises shall become the
property
of Landlord upon termination of this Lease (except for movable
equipment or
furniture owned by Tenant). Landlord may, nonetheless, require

rated
capacity, or overall load that which Landlord deems to be Building
Standard. The
electrical design parameters are two watts per square foot at 120
volts and 3.5
watts per square foot at 277 volts for lighting. If Tenant shall
request that it
be allowed to consume electrical services in excess of that deemed
by Landlord
to be Building Standard or the electrical service furnished to the
Premises as
of the date of this Lease, whichever is greater, Landlord may
refuse to consent
to usage or may consent upon such conditions as Landlord elects
(including the
requirement that submeters be installed at Tenant's expense) and
Tenant shall
pay all costs and expenses thereby incurred, including but not
limited to the
cost of electricity and the cost of upgrading the HVAC system to
handle the heat
caused by such additional usage. As of the date of this lease, a
meter has been
installed and Tenant is being separately metered for electrical
services in the
computer room and supplemental air conditioning associated with
this room.
12.
PARKING.
12.1 During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the
non-exclusive use in common with Landlord, other tenants of the
Building (or the
project in which the Building is located, in a multi-building
project), their
guests and invitees, of the non-reserved common automobile parking
areas,
driveways and footways, subject to rules and regulations for the
use thereof as
prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Tenant's allocated share
of parking
shall be forty-eight (48) spaces. Tenant's employees will not be
permitted to
park in the designated visitor parking area and Tenant will use all
reasonable
efforts to adhere to this regulation.
12.2 No specific designated parking spaces shall be assigned to
Tenant
unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing. Landlord
shall have
the right to reserve such parking spaces as it elects and condition
use thereof
on such terms as it elects.
6
<PAGE>
13.
LAWS, REGULATIONS AND RULES.
13.1 Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules
and regulations of any governmental entity, agency, or authority
having
jurisdiction of the Premises or Tenant's use of the Premises.
13.2 Tenant shall comply with the Building Rules and
Regulations
amended by Landlord from time to time and will cause all of its
agents,
employees, invitees and visitors to do so. All changes to such
rules will be
furnished by Landlord to Tenant in writing.
14.
ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its agents
or
representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises at
all
reasonable hours unless such entry deprives tenant of normal usage
for any
amount of time which would cause tenant to suffer economic loss
(and in
emergencies at all times) to inspect the condition, occupancy or
use; to show
the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenant or
insurers, or to
clean or make repairs, alterations or additions. Tenant shall not
be entitled to
any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of this right of
entry.
15.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
15.1 Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer, pledge, or
encumber
this Lease or any interest therein without Landlord's prior written
consent. Any
attempted assignment, sublease or other transfer or encumbrance by
Tenant in
violation of the terms and covenants of this paragraph will be
void. If Tenant
is a corporation or a partnership, the conveyance of the corporate
stock or the
assignment of such partnership interest, as the case may be, shall
be deemed an
assignment for the purposes hereof.
15.2 If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent in the subletting
or
assignment, Tenant shall give Landlord ninety (90) days' prior
written notice
thereof. Such notice shall be deemed to be an offer by Tenant to
sublet the
premises to Landlord for the balance of the term upon all the same
terms,
covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease or to
assign this Lease
to Landlord at Landlord's option.
15.3 If Landlord does not accept such offer in writing within
the
ninety (90) day notice period, then Landlord's right to sublease
the Premises or
acquire this Lease by assignment shall be deemed to be waived, but
nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any
subletting
or assignment unless Landlord delivers to Tenant its written
consent.
15.4 Notwithstanding Landlord's consent on any one occasion, the
right
to recapture noted in Paragraph 15.2 shall apply to any further
subletting or
assignment.
15.5 The covenants in this paragraph concerning assignment shall
bind
Tenant and Tenant's heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns.
15.6 Anything, contained in the foregoing provisions of this
section
to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Tenant nor any other
person having an
interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the
Premises shall
enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other
agreement for use,
occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides
for rental or
other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based, in
whole or in part,
on the net income or profits derived by any person from the
Premises leased,
used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed
percentage or
percentages of receipts of sales), and any such proposed lease,
sublease,
license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void
and
7
<PAGE>
ineffective as a conveyance or any right or interest in the
possession, use,
occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises.
15.7 All cash or other consideration received by Tenant as the
proceeds of any assignment, sale or sublease, of Tenant's interest
in this
Lease, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to
Landlord,
notwithstanding the fact that such proceeds exceed the rentals
called for
hereunder, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or
ever acquire in
any such proceeds to Landlord.
15.8 All reasonable legal costs incurred by Landlord in
approving,
reviewing and processing any assignment or sublease shall be paid
by Tenant
within thirty (30) days of presentation of an invoice for services
rendered by
Landlord's attorney.
16.
MECHANIC'S LIENS.
16.1 Tenants will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens to be
placed upon the Premises or the Building. Nothing in this Lease
shall be deemed
or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of
Landlord,
express or implied, to any person for the performance of any labor
or the
furnishing of any materials to all or part of the Premises, nor as
giving Tenant
any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the
rendering of any
services or the furnishing thereof that would or might give rise to
any
mechanic's or other liens against the Premises.
16.2 If any such lien is claimed against the Premises, then
Tenant
shall be required to discharge said lien within ten (10) days of
filing, and in
addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may,
but shall not
be obligated to, discharge the same. Any amount paid by Landlord
for such
purposes shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent
within ten (10)
days of Landlord's demand therefor.
17.
PROPERTY INSURANCE.
17.1 Landlord shall maintain and pay for fire and extended
coverage
insurance on the Building and the Premises in such amounts as
Landlord or
Landlord's mortgagees shall require. Landlord reserves the right to
self-insure
the Building so long as it is a financial institution having a net
worth of at
least $500 million. Payments for losses thereunder shall be made
solely to
Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord as their interests shall
appear.
17.2 Tenant shall maintain at its expense, in an amount equal to
full
replacement cost, fire and extended coverage insurance on all of
its personal
property, including removable trade fixtures, located in the
Premises and in
such additional amounts as are required to meet Tenant's
obligations pursuant to
Paragraph 20 hereof.
17.3 Tenant shall, at Landlord's request from time to time,
provide
Landlord with current certificates of insurance evidencing Tenant's
compliance
with this Paragraph 17 and Paragraph 18.
17.4 Tenant shall obtain the agreement of Tenant's insurers to
notify
Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to cancellation or
expiration of any
such insurance coverage by Tenant.
17.5 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary and
provided the various policies of insurance required under Paragraph
17 contain a
waiver of subrogation clause, both Landlord and Tenant hereby waive
any and all
rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the
other party,
its respective agents, officers and employees, for any loss or
damage
8
<PAGE>
that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto, or
personal
property located therein, or the Building of which the Premises are
a part or
any improvements thereto, by reason of fire, the elements, or any
other cause
which could be insured against under the terms of standard fire and
extended
coverage insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin,
including negligence
of the parties hereto, their agents, officers and employees.
18.
LIABILITY INSURANCE.

items are amortized over a useful life or over an
appropriate period, but in no event, more than ten years,

9. If Landlord

then the costs for such capital equipment or capital
expenditure are to be included within the definition of
"Operating Expenses" for the year in which the costs are

Landlord's costs for such capital equipment or capital
expenditure, with the addition of a reasonable interest
factor to compensate Landlord for having initially incurred

Tenant's Proportionate Share of the portion of Operating Expenses
for the prior
calendar year for which Tenant is liable hereunder.
24.5 As part of the Expense Statement, Landlord may include an
amount
representing Tenant's Proportionate Share of the estimated

be incurred for the then current calendar year. If the Building did
not exist
for the full calendar year immediately preceding a prior calendar
year, Landlord
may estimate the increase in Direct Expenses for the current
calendar year.
24.6 Upon receipt of the estimate showing Tenant's
Proportionate
Share, the amount thereof shall be divided into twelve (12) equal
monthly
installments, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, at the same time that

necessary to
bring the Tenant current for the calendar year. Credit will be
given for any
payment of estimated increases already paid for those months.
Subsequent
installments shall be payable together with the regular rent
payments for the
balance of the calendar year and shall continue until payments
begin under the
following calendar year's Expense Statement.

days
following receipt by Tenant of the Expense Statement, Tenant shall
pay in full
an amount equal to such excess. If Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Operating
Expenses actually incurred for prior calendar year as shown on the
Expense
Statement is less than the estimated payments made by the Tenant
for that year,
then the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against the
next Operating
Expense Payments falling due.
24.8 If this Lease terminates before the end of a calendar
year,
payment will be based on the percentage of the year in which Tenant
occupied the
Premises.
24.9 Tenant or its agent, at its expense, shall have the right no
more
frequently than once in each calendar year, within sixty (60) days
following its
receipt of the Expense Statement, following prior written notice to
Landlord, to
audit Landlord's books and records relating to Operating Expenses;
or at
Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord will provide an audit prepared
by a
certified public accountant. Tenant or its agent shall have a right
to observe
the preparation of audit provided Tenant does not interfere with
such audit. Any
objections to the Expense Statement must be made, if at all, during
such sixty
(60) day period.
24.10 Notwithstanding any language in the Lease seemingly to
the
contrary, if the Building is not fully occupied during any calendar
year of the
Lease Term, actual "Operating Expenses" and
14
<PAGE>
the excess for purposes of the referenced above shall be determined
as if the
Building had been fully occupied during such year. For the purpose
of the Lease
"fully occupied" shall mean occupancy of 95% of the Net Rentable
Area in the
Building.
25.
PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT.
25.1 Tenant shall, and may peacefully enjoy the Premises against
all

agreements in this
Lease.
25.2 The foregoing covenant and any and all other covenants of
the
Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only
with respect to
breaches occurring during its or their respective periods of
ownership of the
Tenant's interest hereunder.
27.
HOLDING OVER.
27.1 If Tenant holds over without Landlord's written consent
after
expiration or other termination of this Lease, or if Tenant
continues to occupy
the Premises after termination of Tenant's right of possession
pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 23.2(c), Tenant shall throughout the entire
holdover
period pay rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) the Base
Rental and
Additional Rent which would have been applicable had the term of
this Lease
continued through the period of such holding over by Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant
maintain the right to terminate this month to month tenancy with
thirty (30)
days following written notification to the other party.
27.2 No possession by Tenant after the expiration of the term of
this
Lease shall be construed to extend the term of this Lease unless
Landlord has
consented to such possession in writing.
28.
SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGE.
28.1 This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate only to
a
first mortgage, whether presently existing or hereafter arising
upon the
Premises or upon the Building and to any renewals, modifications,
refinancings
or extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that any such first
mortgagee shall
have the right to subordinate such first mortgage to this Lease on
such terms
and subject to such conditions as such first mortgagee may deem
appropriate in
its discretion.
28.2 Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and
authority to subordinate this Lease to any first mortgage, now
existing or
hereafter placed upon the Premises or the Building as a whole, and
Tenant agrees
upon demand to execute such further instruments subordinating the
Lease or
attorning to holder of any such first lien as Landlord may request.
Landlord
represents that on the date of execution of this Lease there is no
mortgage
encumbering the Building or the property. Any subordination by
Tenant to any
first mortgage hereinafter placed upon the Premises or the Building
shall be
contingent upon the holder thereof having first given Tenant a
non-disturbance
agreement.
15
<PAGE>
28.3 The terms of this Lease are subject to approval by the
Landlord's
permanent first lender, and such approval is a condition precedent
to Landlord's
obligations hereunder. In addition, all leases of portions of the
Building will
be subordinate to such permanent first lender's mortgage.
28.4 If Tenant should fail to execute any subordination or
other
agreement required by this paragraph, promptly as requested, Tenant
hereby
irrevocably constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute
such
instrument in Tenant's name, place and stead, it being agreed that
such power is
one coupled with an interest.
28.5 Tenant agrees that it will from time to time upon request
by
Landlord execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall
request a
statement in recordable form certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in
full force and effect (or if there hav
