month for each subsequent  year. If the annualized CPI for any CPI base month of

insurance for Lessor's protection and Tenant shall immediately  reimburse Lessor
for the cost thereof, which amount shall be additional rent and immediately due.

16.  ACTIVITIES  INCREASING  FIRE  INSURANCE  RATES.  If an increase in extended
coverage premiums paid by Lessor for the building in which Tenant occupies space

the amount of such increase to Lessor.

17. ASSIGNMENT:  SUBLETTING.  This Lease may not be assigned, and Tenant may not

not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to consent, Lessor may require that
any assignee or sub-tenant shall affirmatively assume all subsequent obligations
of Tenant hereunder.  Assignment or subletting shall not,  however,  abrogate or
lessen  Tenant's  obligations  hereunder,  and any  dealings  or  communications
between  Lessor and a  sub-tenant  or  assignee  shall not be deemed a waiver of
Tenant's obligations hereunder.

18.  LESSOR'S  REMEDIES ON TENANT'S  DEFAULT.  If Tenant  defaults in payment of
rent, or any additional  rent or defaults in the performance of any of the other
covenants or conditions  hereof,  Lessor may give Tenant  written notice of such
default and if Tenant does not cure any default by reason of non-payment of rent
or additional  rent within five (5) days,  or any other default  within ten (10)
days after the giving of such notice, then Lessor may terminate this Lease. This
Agreement,  or any option exercised or exercisable  hereunder by Tenant,  may be
terminated by Lessor if Tenant fails to make timely payment of three (3) or more
consecutive  monthly rental  installments.  For the purposes of the  termination
provision of this section  only,  timely  payment shall have been deemed to have
been  made  if  the  Tenant  has  made  payment  by  the  15th  of  each  month.
Additionally,  failure to make timely payment of three (3)  consecutive  monthly
rental installments shall automatically  require that rent be paid in advance on
a quarterly basis for the remainder of this Agreement.

19.  TENANT  REMEDIES  ON  LESSOR'S  DEFAULT.  If  the  Lessor  defaults  in the
performance  of a material  provision  of this Lease,  Tenant  shall give Lessor
written  notice of such default and if Lessor does not proceed  with  reasonable

Tenant gives such notice,  then Tenant may terminate  this Lease,  reserving all
rights Tenant may have under Florida Law. The notice  required in this paragraph
shall be given by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.

20. LITIGATION. If either party defaults hereunder and the other party brings an
action in a Court of competent jurisdiction by reason of default, the prevailing
party  shall be  entitled  to recover  from the other all costs,  arising out of
settlement negotiations,  litigation or appeals, including reasonable attorney's
fees. The Parties further agree that,  should any legal action arise out of this
Lease, any such action shall be brought only in Pinellas County, Florida.

21. ACTS OF GOD.  Anything in this  Agreement to the contrary not  withstanding,
neither  Lessor nor Tenant shall be deemed in default of the  performance of any
provision  or  covenant  of this Lease if such  performance  shall be delayed or
prevented  by strike,  war, act of God, or other cause beyond the control of the
parties seeking to excuse such performance.



<PAGE>



22. TIME IS OF THE  ESSENCE.  It is  understood  and agreed  between the parties
hereto,  that time is of the essence in this  contract  and this  applies to all
terms and conditions contained herein.

23. LESSOR'S REMEDIES.  If Tenant shall materially default in the performance of
any of Tenant's  obligations  under this Lease,  or shall become  insolvent,  or
shall  be  adjudicated  a  bankrupt,  or  shall  file a  voluntary  petition  in
bankruptcy or for  reorganization,  or if a receiver is appointed for Tenant and
the appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days from  appointment,  Lessor
may terminate this Lease without penalty, but such termination shall not release
or  discharge  Tenant or anyone  claiming  under Tenant from any  obligation  or
liability  to  Lessor  hereunder,  including  the  obligation  to pay rent as it
accrues  under this Lease.  Upon  default by Tenant as provided  herein,  Lessor
shall,  subject  to  Florida  law,  have the right and  remedy to  re-enter  the
premises  and remove all persons  therefrom  and Lessor may, at its option,  (1)
treat the  lease as  terminated  and  retake  possession  for the  Lessor's  own
account,  thus terminating any further liability on the part of the Tenant,  or;
(2) retake  possession of the  preimises for the account of the Tenant,  holding
the Tenant liable for the difference  between rental stipulated to be paid under
the lease agreement and what, in good faith,  the Lessor is able to recover from
the reletting, for the balance of the Lease term as agent for Tenant and receive
rents  therefore  and apply the same  first to the  payment of the  expenses  of
reasonable redecoration and making necessary repairs to the premises and leasing
the same;  and second,  to the payment of rent due  hereunder,  and;  (3) Lessor
shall  have the right to  declare  all  monthly  installments  of rental for the
balance of the lease term to be  immediately  due and  payable and to proceed to
obtain a Judgment therefor against Tenant.  Thereafter , all sums collected from
the reletting of the  premises,  less costs  incurred in connection  therewith ,
shall be applied on said Judgment , provided, however, any excess sums collected
by the  Lessor  shall  accrue to the  Lessor , and shall not be  subject  to any
claims by the  Tenant.  Further,  in the event of default by Tenant,  the Lessor
shall have the right to a Landlord's  lein on Tenant's  property  without in any
way  affecting  Lessor's  right to  accelerate  the balance of rental due and to
bring an action to recover the same.

24. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION BY TENANT.  The Tenant will deliver up and surrender
to the Lessor  possession  of the leased  premises  together  with all fixtures,
alterations,  additions and improvements,  which may have been made in, on or to
the  premises  upon  the  expiration  or  termination  of this  Lease in as good
condition and repair as the same shall be at the commencement of said term (loss
by fire and ordinary wear and decay excepted) and all air conditioning,  heating
and other  mechanical  equipment of every  nature,  whether or not  installed by
Tenant,  shall be in good working order.  Tenant shall  ascertain from Lessor at
least thirty (30) days before the end of the term of this lease  whether  Lessor
desires to have the  premises or any part thereof  restored to the  condition in
which it was originally  delivered to Tenant and if Lessor shall so desire, then
Tenant at its own cost and  expense,  shall  restore  the same  and/or  make the
necessary repairs before the end of the term.

         If Tenant is not in default  under the terms of this  Lease,  all trade
fixtures and  equipment  owned by the Tenant and  installed or placed by it upon
the leased  premises may be removed by the Tenant at any time during the term or
on the  expiration  thereof.  Tenant agrees to repair any damage to the building
occasioned  by such  removal.  Tenant shall,  upon  termination  of its tenancy,
return to the Lessor all keys to the demised  premises,  either  furnished to or
otherwise procured by such Tenant.

25. HOLDOVER BY TENANT. If Tenant refuses to give up possession of the premises,
upon the termination of this Lease, Lessor,  Pursuant to ss.83.06 of the Florida
Statutes, the acceptance of the RENT for use and occupancy of the premises shall
not be deemed to have waived any of the rights, remedies or privileges of Lessor
provided  elsewhere in this Lease or by virtue of law.  Tenant  shall  indemnify
Lessor  against  loss or  liability  resulting  from  the  delay  by  Tenant  in
surrendering the premises including,  without limitation, any claims made by any
succeeding occupancy founded on such delay.



<PAGE>



26. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES.  If through no fault,  neglect, or design
of Tenant,  the  premises are  destroyed by fire or other  casualty or damage to
such an extent as to render them  wholly  unfit for  occupancy,  then this Lease
shall be cancelled.  If,  however,  the premises can be repaired  within 30 days
from the date of such fire or  casualty,  then,  at the option of  Lessor,  this
Lease shall not be cancelled  and Lessor shall notify Tenant within 30 days from
the  date of the fire or  casualty,  of  Landlord's  election.  Tenant  shall be
entitled  to  such  reduction  or  remission  of rent  that  shall  be just  and
proportionate.

27. NOTICE OF CASUALTY.  Tenant shall give Lessor Prompt notice of any damage to
the premises by fire, tornado,  storm, or other casualty, and of any other event
or condition known to Tenant (or any  sub-tenant)  that impairs or threatens the
physical condition of the premises.

28. CONDEMNATION.  If the premises shall be taken by or pursuant to governmental
authority or through exercise of the power of eminent domain,  either totally or
such part as renders the remainder  inadequate  and  unsuitable for the purposes
described  herein,  this Lease  shall  terminate  as of the date of taking,  and
Tenant shall have no claim against  Lessor for the value of any unexpired  term.
If only part of the  premises  is so taken and the  remainder  is  adequate  and
suitable  for  Tenant's  purposes,  or can be rendered  adequate and suitable by
reasonable expenditure,  this Lease shall continue in force except that the rent
shall be reduced to reflect any loss in floor space. In such event, Lessor shall
bear the  reasonable  expense  of  restoration  necessary  to make the  premises
adequate and suitable, but Lessor shall not be obligated to expend more than the
amount actually received by Lessor as compensation,  damages,  or awards for the
taking. Lessor shall be entitled to receive all compensation, damages, or awards
for the taking,  except that Tenant may receive such amount as may be awarded or
payable for the taking of Tenant's  equipment and for Tenant's business damages,
and except that any compensation or awards for the taking of a fixture installed
by Tenant at Tenant's  expense,  which  constitutes  an  improvement to the real
estate,  shall be prorated between Lessor and Tenant, so the Tenant receives the
percentage  that the remaining  portion of the Lease term bears to the remaining
useful life of the fixture. If the fixture is to be restored, as provided above,
both Lessor's and Tenant's shares shall be applied to the cost thereof.

29. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Notice is hereby given that Lessor shall not be liable for
any work, labor, or materials furnished or to be furnished upon credit to or for
Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, and that no mechanic's or other lien for
any such  work,  labor,  or  materials  shall  attach to or affect  the title or
interest  of  Lessor  in and to the  premises.  Tenant  shall  not do or  suffer
anything to be done  whereby the premises may be  encumbered  by any  mechanic's
