casualty, not caused by Tenant's act or neglect, only excepted.

FIRE CLAUSE  14-01 -- This lease is made on condition  that,  if the premises or
any part  thereof,  or  hallways,  or other  approaches  thereto,  be damaged or
destroyed  by fire or  other  casualty  from any  cause,  so as to  render  said
premises and/or approaches unfit for use and occupancy, a just and proportionate
part of the rent,  according  to the  nature  and  extent of the  injury to said
premises and/or approaches, shall be suspended or abated until said premises and
approaches  have been put in as good  condition  for use and occupancy as at the
time immediately  prior to such damage or destruction.  Landlord will proceed at
its expense and, as  expeditiously  as may be  practicable to repair the damage,
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 either  party'  option,  either  party may  terminate  this  lease
forthwith,  by giving  Landlord a written  notice of its  intention to terminate
within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty.

CONDEMNATION  15.01 -- This  lease  shall  be  terminated  and the rent  payable
hereunder  shall be abated to the date of such  termination in either of the two
following  events,  namely:  (1) the  forcible  leasing or  condemnation  of the
premises or any part thereof by any competent  authority  under right of eminent
domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose;  and (2) the  condemnation
by  competent  authority  under right of eminent  domain for any public or quasi
public use or purpose of 25% or more of the  Building in which the  premises are
located.  The forcible leasing by any competent authority of any portion of said
Building  other than the premises will have no effect  whatever upon this lease.
In case of any  taking or  condemnation,  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 its right,  title and interest in and
to any such  award.  Tenant,  however,  shall be  entitled  to claim,  prove and
receive  in the  condemnation  proceeding  such  awards  as may be  allowed  for
fixtures and other  equipment  installed by it, but only if such awards shall be
made by the Court in addition  to the award made by it to Landlord  for the land
and improvements or part thereof so taken.

SECURITY  DEPOSIT  16.01 --  Tenant  hereby  deposits  with  Landlord  and shall
maintain at all times whole and  unencumbered  the sum of $ 1,450.00 as security
for the  faithful  performance  by  Tenant  of this  lease,  it being  expressly
understood and agreed that Tenant may not direct Landlord to apply said security
in payment of rent for any month  during the lease term.  If Tenant  shall fully
and  faithfully  comply with all the provisions of this lease then said security
or any balance  thereof  remaining  shall be repaid to Tenant  within sixty (60)
days after termination of the lease term. In the event of any sale, transfer, or
assignment  of the  Landlord's  interest  under this  lease,  Tenant  agrees and
consents that transferee or assignee,  as the case may be and Landlord thereupon
shall be released from all liability  for the  repayment of said  security,  and
Tenant, in each instance,  shall look solely to such transferee for repayment of
said security.
<PAGE>
DEFAULTS  AND REMEDIES  17.01 -- It is hereby  mutually  covenanted  and agreed,
that:

     (a) if Tenant  shall  fail to pay when due any  installment  of rent or any
other charge provided herein, or,

     (b) if Tenant  shall  fail to keep and  perform  each and  every  covenant,
condition  and agreement  herein  contained and on the part of tenant to be kept
and performed, or

     (c) if Tenant shall abandon or evidence any intention to abandon  premises,
or,

     (d) if the  estate  hereby  created  shall be taken on  execution  or other
process of law, or

     (e) if Tenant shall petition to be declared bankrupt or insolvent according
to law, or

     (f) if a receiver  or other  similar  officer  shall be  appointed  to take
charge of any part of the property of, or to wind up the affairs of Tenant,  and
it is not discharged within thirty (30) days, or

     (g) if any assignment shall be made of Tenant's property for the benefit of
creditors, or

     (h) if a petition shall be filed for Tenant's  reorganization under Chapter
X of the Bankruptcy Act, then and in each and every such case, from  thenceforth
and at all times thereafter,  at the sole option of Landlord,  Tenant's right of
possession  shall thereupon cease and terminate,  and Landlord shall be entitled
to the  possession  of the  premises  and to remove  all  persons  and  property
therefrom and to re-enter the same without  further  demand of rent or demand of
possession of said premises,  either with or without  process of law and without
becoming  liable to prosecution  thereof,  any notice to quit or of intention to
re-enter  being  hereby  expressly  waived by  Tenant;  and in the event of such
re-entry or retaking by Landlord, Tenant shall nevertheless remain in all events
liable and  answerable  for the full rental to the date of retaking or re-entry,
and Tenant shall also be and remain  answerable in damages for the deficiency or
loss of rent which Landlord may thereby sustain in respect of the balance of the
term; and in such case Landlord reserves full power,  which is hereby acceded to
by Tenant,  to let said  premises for the benefit of Tenant in  liquidation  and
discharge,  in whole or in part,  as the case may be, of the liability of Tenant
under the terms and provisions of this lease, and such damages, at the option of
the Landlord, may be recovered by it at the time of the retaking or re-entry, or
in separate actions, from time to time, as Tenant's obligation to pay rent would
have accrued if the term had  continued,  or from time to time,  as said damages
shall have been made more easily  ascertainable  by re-lettings of the premises,
or such action by Landlord  may at the option of Landlord be deferred  until the
expiration  of the term,  in which latter event the cause of action shall not be
deemed to have accrued until the date of the termination of said term.

17.02 -- All rents received by Landlord in any such  reletting  shall be applied
first  to the  payment  of such  expenses  as  Landlord  may  have  incurred  in
recovering  possession of the premises and in reletting the same, second, to the
payment  of any costs and  expenses  incurred  by  landlord  either  for  making
necessary repairs to the premises or in curing any default on the part of Tenant
in any covenant or condition  herein made binding upon Tenant,  and,  last,  any
remaining rent shall be applied toward the payment of rent due from Tenant under
the terms of this lease,  with  interest at the highest  legal rate,  and Tenant
expressly agrees to pay any deficiency then remaining. Landlord, however, at its
option, may refrain from terminating  Tenant's right of possession,  and in such
case may enforce  against  Tenant the provisions of this lease for the full term
thereof.
<PAGE>
17.03 --  Tenant  expressly  agrees  to  reimburse  Landlord  for any  expenses,
including  counsel  fees,  Landlord may incur in enforcing  the latter's  rights
against  Tenant  under this  lease,  including,  but not being  limited  to, the
collection of rent and the securing of possession of the premises.

DEFAULT CLAUSE 17.04 -- The following  provision  shall override and control any
conflicting  provisions of Section 93.002 of the Texas Property Code, as well as
any successor statute governing the right of a landlord to change the door locks
of commercial  tenants.  Upon any event of any material  default by Tenant under
this Lease,  Landlord is entitled and is hereby authorized,  without any further
notice to Tenant whatsoever,  to enter upon the Leased Premises by use of master
key, a duplicate key, or other peaceable  means,  and to change,  alter,  and/or
modify the door on all entry doors of the Leased Premises,  thereby  permanently
excluding  Tenant,  and  its  officers,   principals,   agents,   employees  and
representatives  therefrom.  In the event that  Landlord has either  permanently
repossessed  the Leased  Premises  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions of this
Lease,  or has  terminated  this Lease by reason of Tenant's  default,  Landlord
shall not  thereafter  be obligated  to provide  Tenant with a key to the Leased
Premises at any time,  regardless  of any amounts  subsequently  paid by Tenant;
provided,  however, that in any such instance, during Landlord's normal business
hours and at the  convenience of Landlord,  and upon receipt of written  request
form Tenant accompanied by such written waivers and releases as the Landlord may
require,  Landlord will either (at  Landlord's  option) (i) escort Tenant or its
authorized  personnel to the Leased Premises to retrieve any personal belongings
or other  property  of Tenant not  subject to the  Landlord's  lien or  security
interest  described  herein,  or (ii) obtain a list from Tenant of such personal
property  as Tenant  intends to remove,  whereupon  Landlord  shall  remove such
property  and make it  available  to Tenant at a time and  place  designated  by
Landlord.  However, if Landlord elects option (ii), Tenant shall pay, in cash in
advance, all costs and expenses estimated by Landlord to be incurred in removing
such  property and making it available to Tenant and all moving  and/or  storage
charges  theretofore  incurred by Landlord  with  respect to such  property.  If
Landlord elects to exclude Tenant from the Leased Premises  without  permanently
repossessing or terminating  pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Lease,
then  Landlord  shall not be  obligated  to provide  Tenant a key to reenter the
Leased  Premises  until such time as all  delinquent  Rent and other amounts due
under  this Lease have been paid in full and all other  defaults,  if any,  have
been completely  cured to Landlord's  satisfaction (if such cure occurs prior to
any actual permanent  repossession or termination),  and Landlord has been given
assurance  reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord  evidencing  Tenant's ability to
satisfy its remaining  obligations  under this Lease.  During any such temporary
period of exclusion, Landlord will, during Landlord's regular business hours and
at  Landlord's  convenience,   upon  receipt  of  written  request  from  Tenant
(accompanied  by such written  waivers and  releases as Landlord  may  require),
escort  Tenant or its  authorized  personnel to the Leased  Premises to retrieve
personal  belongings  of Tenant or its  employees,  and such other  property  of
Tenant as is not subject to the Landlord's lien and security interest  described
herein. This remedy of Landlord shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
of its other  remedies  set  forth in this  Lease,  or  otherwise  available  to
Landlord at law or in equity.

SUBORDINATION CLAUSE 18.01 -- This lease shall be subject and subordinate at all
times to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbrances or encumbrances,
which  may now or  which  may at any  time  hereafter  be made a lien  upon  the
Building of which the premises are a part or upon Landlord's  interest  therein.
Tenant  shall  execute  and  deliver  such  further  instrument  or  instruments
subordinating  this  lease  to the lien of any  such  mortgage  or deed of trust
encumbrance  and  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 for Tenant.

TENANT  HOLDING  OVER  19.01  --  If  Tenant  shall  not  immediately  surrender
possession of the premises at the termination of this lease, Tenant shall become
a tenant  from month to month,  provided  rent shall be paid to and  accepted by
Landlord,  in  advance  at the rate of one and  one-half  (1 1/2) the rent which
would have been payable to Landlord prior to the termination of this lease;  but
unless and until  Landlord  shall  continue  to be entitled to retake or recover
possession of the premises as herein  before  provided in case of default on the
part of Tenant, and Tenant shall be liable to landlord for any loss or damage it
may  sustain  by reason of  Tenant's  failure  to  surrender  possession  of the
premises immediately upon the expiration of the term of this lease.... If Tenant
shall  fail  to  surrender  possession  of the  premises  immediately  upon  the
expiration of the term hereof,  Tenant hereby agrees that 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, whether or not
a month to month tenancy shall have been created as aforesaid.
