                  then the Lease Term shall begin on the earlier of (i) the date
                  Tenant occupies any part of the Lease Premises, or (ii) July
                  3, 1998.

         (b)      Subject to Paragraph 3(c) below, if the Ready for Occupancy
                  Date does not occur by the Commencement Date for any reason
                  other than omission, delay, or default by any Tenant Party,
                  Tenant's obligation to pay Rent does not commence until the
                  Ready For Occupancy Date occurs and the Expiration Date is
                  extended for a period of time equal to the time period
                  beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the day
                  before the Ready for Occupancy Date. This abatement of Rent is
                  Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy and is full settlement of
                  all claims that Tenant has against Landlord by reason of the
                  Leased Premises not being ready for occupancy by Tenant on the
                  Commencement Date.

         (c)      If Tenant occupies any part of the Leased Premises before the
                  Commencement Date or the Ready for Occupancy Date, as
                  applicable, the Lease Term and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent
                  commence on the date Tenant occupies the Leased Premises and
                  the Expiration Date is 126 months after the date on which
                  Tenant's occupancy commences. Tenant is deemed to OCCUPY the
                  Leased Premises when Tenant takes possession of any part of
                  the Leased Premises for any purpose, including placing
                  furniture and installing Tenant's equipment in the Leased
                  Premises.

         (d)      When the first day of the Lease Term is established pursuant
                  to this Paragraph 3, Landlord shall prepare and Landlord and
                  Tenant shall exchange a letter acknowledging that date and, if
                  the Expiration Date changes under this Paragraph, the
                  Expiration Date.

                                                                          PAGE 4

<PAGE>   9


         (e)      The READY FOR OCCUPANCY DATE is the earlier to occur of:


                  (1)      the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that the City
                           of Dallas has approved the Leased Premises for
                           occupancy; or

                  (2)      the date the City of Dallas would have approved the
                           Leased Premises for occupancy but for delays caused
                           by any Tenant Party;

                  provided, if Landlord performs any Additional Work (defined in
                  EXHIBIT F), the Ready for Occupancy Date is deemed accelerated
                  by the number of days in the Additional Work Period (defined
                  in EXHIBIT F).

4.       ACCEPTANCE OF LEASED PREMISES.

         Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises is conclusive evidence that
         Tenant: (A) accepts the Leased Premises as suitable for the purposes
         for which they are leased; (B) accepts the Leased Premises and the
         Project as being in a good and satisfactory condition; and (C) waives
         any defects in the Leased Premises and the Project; provided, however,
         that by occupying the Lease Premises, Tenant shall not be deemed to
         have accepted or waived any defect therein about Tenant, in the
         exercise of reasonable care, could not have learned prior to occupying
         the Leased Premises.

5.       RENT PAYMENTS.

         (a)      The installment of Minimum Rent due for the seventh (7th)
                  month of the Lease Term is payable by Tenant when this Lease
                  is executed. Subsequent installments of Minimum Rent are
                  payable by Tenant in advance on the first day of each calendar
                  month during the Lease Term beginning on the first day of the
                  eighth full calendar month after the Commencement Date (or the
                  Ready for Occupancy Date, if applicable). Minimum Rent for any
                  partial calendar month is prorated on a per diem basis.

         (b)      All Rent is payable by Tenant at the times and in the amounts
                  specified in this Lease in legal tender of the United States
                  of America to Landlord at the following address or to any
                  other person or at any other address as Landlord may from time
                  to time designate by notice to Tenant:

                            F/P/D Master Lease, Inc.
                            P.O. Box 844792
                            Dallas, Texas 75284-4792

         (c)      Rent is payable by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement,
                  deduction, or set off. Tenant's obligation to pay Rent is
                  independent of any obligation of Landlord under

                                                                          PAGE 5

<PAGE>   10




                  this Lease. If any installment of Rent is not paid within 5
                  days after it is due, Tenant shall pay a late charge in an
                  amount equal to 10% of the delinquent installment of Rent when
                  it pays the delinquent installment. In addition, any Rent not
                  paid when due (and which represents amounts not already
                  specified as bearing interest under other provisions of this
                  Lease) bears interest from the due date until the date paid at
                  a rate (the INTEREST RATE) equal to the lesser of the highest
                  rate allowable under applicable law or 18% per annum.


6.       ELECTRICITY.

         (a)      Landlord, subject to payment by Tenant as specified below,
                  shall furnish electricity as follows:

                  o        up to 2 watts per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased
                           Premises at 277 volts for lighting; and

                  o        up to 1.25 watts per Rentable Square Foot in the
                           Leased Premises at 120 volts for office machines.

                  If Tenant wants to use any office equipment or lighting that
                  will cause Tenant's electricity requirements to exceed the
                  specified levels or that will generate, excess heat, Tenant
                  must give Landlord prior notice specifying Tenant's excess
                  electricity requirements and the specific equipment that
                  generates excess heat. If the excess electricity requirements
                  can be supplied without, in Landlord's sole opinion,
                  overloading the existing Building systems, or if the
                  additional equipment necessary to supply Tenant's excess
                  electricity requirements can be installed without, in
                  Landlord's sole opinion, creating a dangerous condition in the
                  Building, Landlord shall supply Tenant's excess electricity
                  requirements and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of
                  supplying the excess electricity requirements, including all
                  installation costs, on demand as additional Rent.

         (b)      If Tenant's electricity use exceeds the specified limits,
                  Landlord may, at its sole option, either:

                  o        install separate submeter(s) for all or any part of
                           the Leased Premises and Tenant shall pay Landlord the
                           installation cost and the cost of the excess
                           electricity as metered on demand as additional Rent;
                           or

                  o        if Landlord does not elect to install separate
                           submeter(s), cause Landlord's engineer to determine
                           the amount of excess electricity to be allocated to
                           Tenant based on the power requirements of the
                           equipment or lighting and Tenant shall pay Landlord
                           the cost of the excess electricity as reasonably
                           determined by Landlord's engineer on demand as
                           additional Rent.

                                                                          PAGE 6

<PAGE>   11


         (c)      If Tenant's electricity use exceeds the specified limits or
                  any of Tenant's equipment generates excess heat, Landlord may
                  also, at its sole option and without any obligation to do so,
                  install supplemental air conditioning units in the Leased
                  Premises to offset the heat-generating effect of Tenant's
                  excess electricity usage and Tenant's equipment and Tenant
                  shall pay Landlord the installation cost and the cost of
                  operation, use, repair, and replacement of the supplemental
                  air conditioning units on demand as additional Rent.

         (d)      The obligation of Landlord to furnish electricity is subject
                  to the rules and regulations of the supplier of electricity
                  and of any municipal or other governmental authority
                  regulating the business of providing electricity. Landlord is
                  not liable to any Tenant Party for any failure or defect in
                  the supply or character of electricity furnished to the Leased
                  Premises due to any requirement, act, or omission of the
                  entity supplying electricity to the Project.

         (e)      Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without any set off or
                  deduction, beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant's
                  Proportionate Share of Total Electricity Costs for the Project
                  (defined below) incurred in the use, occupancy, and operation
                  of the Project and all related improvements and appurtenances,
                  including electricity used for heating and air-conditioning
                  and perimeter lighting for the Project, net of Submetered
                  Power (defined below).

         (f)      The term TOTAL ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR THE PROJECT means the
                  total electricity cost charged to Landlord by the entity
                  supplying electricity to the Building, and the Building's
                  share of electricity costs charged for other portions of the
                  Project, including taxes, but may not include any
                  administrative fee or charge by Landlord. The term SUBMETERED
                  POWER means all supplemental electricity that is separately
                  submetered by Landlord and paid by tenants in the Building or
                  that is separately tracked and calculated by Landlord's
                  engineer and paid by tenants in the Building.

         (g)      If Landlord at any time elects to install submeters measuring
                  electricity used in the Building or the Leased Premises, which
                  may include submeters measuring electricity used for heating
                  and cooling the Building or Leased Premises, then Tenant's
                  Proportionate Share of those actual costs will be based on
                  actual use as measured by the submeters, but, with any areas
                  sharing a submeter being prorated on the basis that the area
                  of the Leased Premises bears to the total area covered by the
                  submeters.

         (h)      Landlord shall bill Tenant for Tenant's electricity charges
                  under this Paragraph monthly and Tenant shall pay its
                  electricity charges within 10 business days after receipt of
                  each bill. Landlord shall bill Tenant for Tenant's electricity
                  charge for the last full or partial month of the Lease Term as
                  soon as practicable after the termination or expiration of
                  this Lease and Tenant shall pay the bill within 10


                                                                          PAGE 7
<PAGE>   12


                  business days after receipt. Tenant's obligation to pay the
                  bill survives the termination or expiration of the Lease.

 7.      SERVICES BY LANDLORD.

         Landlord shall maintain the Building, the On-Site Garage, the Off-Site
         Garage and all common areas (exclusive of those portions of the Lease
         Premises Tenant is obligated to maintain hereunder) in accordance with
         standards customarily followed in the maintenance of first-class
         buildings comparable to the Building in the downtown Dallas central
         business district. Landlord, subject to payment by Tenant as specified
         below, shall furnish the following services for the Leased Premises:

                  Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., except on Holidays (as
                  defined below) (the HVAC Standard Hours) amounts as are in the
                  sole judgment of Landlord reasonably required for comfortable
                  use and occupancy under normal business operations.
                  Circulating air is not available other than through the
                  Building's HVAC system. If Tenant requires HVAC services at
                  any time other than HVAC Standard Hours, Landlord shall
                  furnish after-hours HVAC service for the times specified in a
                  request by Tenant received by the Project manager before 2:00
                  p.m. on the business day the extra usage is required. Requests
                  received after that deadline will be handled in accordance
                  with Landlord's Building Policies in effect at the time.
                  Tenant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the current Building
                  Policies. Landlord may make changes in the Building Policies
                  and the changes become effective when a copy of the revised
                  Building Policies is delivered to Tenant. Tenant shall pay
                  Landlord as additional Rent for extra service within 5 days
                  after receipt of a bill therefor the greater of (A) the actual
                  cost of the extra service [if more than one tenant has
                  requested and is furnished after-hours HVAC service for the
                  same hour(s) the charge will be prorated if reasonably
                  possible], or (B) $50 per hour per floor (whole or partial) of

                  supply at prevailing temperatures) for lavatory purposes to
                  restrooms located in the core area of the Building only, all
                  water service to be at supply points provided for general use

                                                                          PAGE 8

<PAGE>   13

         a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Landlord may lock the Buildings at all times other
         than during Building Standard Hours; provided, however, that Tenant
         shall at all times have access to the Leased Premises by keys, magnetic
         cards, or other access device provided by Landlord in accordance with
         this Lease, subject to reasonable access control measures instituted by
         Landlord after Building Standard Hours.

8.       SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.

         (a)      Landlord does not warrant that the services provided by
                  Landlord will be free from any slow-down, interruption, or
                  stoppage by governmental bodies, regulatory agencies, utility
                  companies, and others supplying services or caused by the
                  maintenance, repair, replacement, or improvement of any
                  equipment involved in the furnishing of the services or caused
                  by changes of services, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor
                  controversies, fuel shortages, accidents, acts of God, the
                  elements, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of
                  Landlord. Landlord shall use due diligence to resume the
                  service upon any slowdown, interruption, or stoppage.

         (b)      No slow-down, interruption, or stoppage of the services may be
                  construed as an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant or
                  cause an abatement of Rent or in any manner or for any purpose
                  relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease. Landlord
                  is not liable for damage to persons or property, or in default
                  under this Lease, as a result of any slow-down, interruption,
                  or stoppage.

         (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there occurs an interruption
                  in HVAC, electricity, water or elevator services ("ESSENTIAL
                  SERVICES"), such interruption is not caused by Tenant or a
                  Tenant Party, such interruption renders at least 50% of the
                  Leased Premises untenantable, and such interruption continues
                  to render at least 50% of the

                                                                          PAGE 9

<PAGE>   14


                  Lease Premises untenantable for (i) 5 consecutive business
                  days if caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct,
                  or (ii) 30 consecutive days if not caused by Landlord's
                  negligence or willful misconduct, then Rent shall abate as to
                  that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable from
                  the 6th consecutive business day or the 31st day, as the case
                  may be, of such interruption and for as long as such
                  interruption continues thereafter. The foregoing remedies
                  shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedies with respect to
                  interruption of services.

9.       OPERATING COSTS.

         (a)      The term OPERATING COSTS means those expenses (other than
                  expenses for electricity) directly incurred in the management,
                  operation, maintenance, repair, and security of the Project,
                  including but not limited to the cost of all utilities,
                  building supplies, janitorial service, maintenance, repairs,
                  fire and extended coverage, public liability, and other
                  insurance costs, all labor and employee benefit costs
                  (including wages, salaries, and fees of all personnel engaged
                  in the management, operation, maintenance, repair, and
                  security of the Project), ad valorem taxes and assessments
                  (both regular and special), costs that reduce operating
                  expenses or are required to meet Applicable Laws [defined in
                  Paragraph 14(a)], management fees, consulting fees, legal
                  fees, accounting fees, the Building's share of fees, charges,
                  taxes, expenses and other amounts due in connection with
                  pedestrian tunnels, pedestrian skybridges, parking garages,
                  City of Dallas property required to be maintained or operated
                  by Landlord, and other elements of the Project or other
                  facilities that benefit the Building, and the fair market
                  rental of the Project managers' offices, together with
                  payments or credits Landlord makes to any tenant or tenants in
                  the Project in lieu of Landlord providing any of the services
                  or paying for any of the costs. If for any time period in
                  question the Project is less than 95% occupied, Landlord shall
                  increase Operating Costs as though the Project were 95%
                  occupied.

         (b)      The term EXCESS OPERATING COSTS means the amount by which the
                  Operating Costs for any calendar year after the Base Year
                  exceed the Operating Costs for the Base Year. Landlord shall
                  calculate Operating Costs and Excess Operating Costs on a
                  Rentable Square Foot basis by dividing the aggregate costs by
                  the Total Building Area. If the amount of ad valorem taxes and
                  assessments for the Base Year is subsequently modified, the
                  modified amount is deemed to be the ad valorem taxes and
                  assessments for the Base Year and is substituted for the
                  original amount of taxes and assessments in the calculation of
                  Operating Costs for the Base Year.

         (c)      If there are Excess Operating Costs for any calendar year,
                  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent an amount
                  equal to the product of the Excess Operating Costs (on a
                  Rentable Square Foot basis) multiplied by the number of
                  Rentable Square Feet in the Leased Premises. If the amount of
                  ad valorem taxes and assessments for the Base Year is reduced
                  under subparagraph (b), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as

                                                                         PAGE 10

<PAGE>   15


                  additional Rent any underpayment in Excess Operating Costs
                  resulting from the recalculation of the Operating Costs for
                  the Base Year within 30 days after delivery of any invoice
                  therefor.

         (d)      On or before December 1 of the Base Year and each subsequent
                  calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's
                  reasonable estimate of the Excess Operating Costs for the next
                  calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as
                  additional Rent, in advance on or before the first day in each
                  succeeding calendar month, an amount equal to one twelfth
                  (1/12th) of the product of the number of Rentable Square Feet
                  in the Leased Premises times Landlord's estimated Excess
                  Operating Costs for the applicable calendar year. Landlord may
                  adjust its estimate by notice to Tenant at any time during the
                  applicable calendar year if actual Excess Operating Costs are
                  substantially different from the estimate, and thereafter
                  payments by Tenant under this Paragraph adjust accordingly.
                  The term CALENDAR YEAR includes partial calendar years.

         (e)      No later than July 1 of each calendar year, Landlord shall
                  deliver to Tenant a statement (EXCESS OPERATING COSTS
                  STATEMENT) certified by an authorized representative of
                  Landlord setting out in reasonable detail the actual Excess
                  Operating Costs for the prior calendar year. If the estimated
                  payments made by Tenant during the prior calendar year exceed
                  Tenant's share of actual Excess Operating Costs for that year,
                  Landlord shall credit the difference against the next ensuing
                  installments of estimated payments by Tenant under this
                  Paragraph. If the estimated payments made by Tenant during the
                  prior calendar year under this Paragraph are less than
                  Tenant's share of the actual Excess Operating Costs for that
                  year, Tenant shall pay the amount of the difference to
                  Landlord in cash within 30 days after delivery of any invoice
                  therefor by Landlord accompanied by a statement of the actual
                  Excess Operating Costs for that year as additional Rent.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Costs that are
                  controllable (which excludes electricity, taxes, utilities and
                  insurance) shall not increase, on a cumulative compounded
                  basis by more than eight percent (8%) per year during the
                  Lease Term.

         (g)      If Operating Costs for any calendar year (other than taxes,
                  utility or insurance) increase by more than 5%, Tenant, at its
                  expense, may inspect, audit, and copy Landlord's books and
                  records concerning the applicable Excess Operating Costs
                  Statement at Landlord's Project Manager's offices during
                  normal office hours within 6 months after the date of the
                  Excess Operating Costs Statement by giving Landlord at least
                  30 days' prior notice. Tenant may not be in Landlord's Project
                  Manager's offices for more than a total of 5 business days.
                  Tenant shall make reasonable efforts to minimize any
                  disruption to Landlord's business while in Landlord's project
                  manager's offices. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to
                  cooperate with the conduct


                                                                         PAGE 11
<PAGE>   16


                  of such audit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the
                  audit within 10 days after it is finalized.

                  o        If Tenant disputes any Excess Operating Costs
                           Statement as a result of its audit and Landlord does
                           not contest the accuracy of Tenant's dispute, within
                           10 business days after demand, Landlord shall
                           reimburse Tenant the amount of any overpayment or
                           Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any
                           underpayment, together with interest thereon from the
                           date due until paid at the Interest Rate. If Landlord
                           contests the results of Tenant's audit, Landlord and
                           Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their
                           differences. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to
                           resolve their differences after using reasonable
                           efforts, then, prior to the institution of legal
                           action, Landlord and Tenant agree to attempt to
                           resolve such dispute by participating in nonbinding
                           mediation. If Tenant retains a third party (AUDITOR)
                           to audit any Excess Operating Costs Statement, the
                           Auditor must be a nationally recognized accounting
                           firm that is not being compensated by Tenant on a
                           contingency fee basis. Prior to conducting an audit,
                           Tenant and any Auditor shall execute Landlord's
                           standard form of confidentiality agreement relating
                           to the audit.

                  o        Tenant may not conduct an audit of any Excess
                           Operating Costs Statement if Tenant is in default
                           under this Lease at the time Tenant delivers its
                           notice to Landlord requesting the audit or at the
                           time the audit would be conducted. Except for
                           Affiliate, as hereinafter defined, sublessees or
                           assignees, no subtenant may conduct an audit and no
                           assignee may conduct an audit for any period during
                           which the assignee was not in possession of the
                           Leased Premises.

10.      SECURITY DEPOSIT. Intentionally Deleted.

11.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         (a)      Tenant may not, without Landlord's prior written consent,
                  except as specified in subparagraph 11(i) below; (1) assign or
                  transfer this Lease or any interest therein; (2) permit any
                  assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by operation
                  of law; (3) sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof;
                  (4) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy
                  of any portion of the Leased Premises; (5) mortgage, pledge,
                  or otherwise encumber its interest in this Lease; or (6)
                  permit the use of the Leased Premises by any parties other
                  than Tenant and its employees. Landlord's consent to any
                  assignment, subletting, or reorganization is not a waiver of
                  Landlord's right to approve or disapprove any subsequent
                  assignment, subletting, or reorganization. Tenant and any
                  guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (GUARANTOR,
                  whether one or more) shall remain jointly and severally liable
                  for the


                                                                         PAGE 12
<PAGE>   17




                  payment of Rent and performance of all other obligations under
                  this Lease after any assignment or subletting. If Tenant is a
                  partnership, Tenant, Guarantor, and the general partners of
                  Tenant prior to its reorganization shall remain jointly and
                  severally liable for the payment of Rent and performance of
                  all other obligations under this Lease after any
                  reorganization.

         (b)      If an Event of Default (defined in Paragraph 27) occurs while
                  the Leased Premises or any part thereof are assigned or
                  sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies under this
                  Lease or provided by law, may at its option collect directly
                  from the assignee or sublessee all rents payable to Tenant
                  under the assignment or sublease and apply the rent against
                  any sums due to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant authorizes
                  and directs any assignee or sublessee to make payments of rent
                  directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord. No
                  direct collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or
                  sublessee is a novation or a release of Tenant or Guarantor
                  from the performance of their obligations under this Lease or
                  under any guaranty executed by Guarantor. Receipt by Landlord
                  of rent from any assignee, sublessee, or occupant of the
                  Leased Premises is not a waiver of the covenant against
                  assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant or Guarantor.

         (c)      If Tenant wants to assign or sublease all or part of the
                  Leased Premises, it shall deliver a notice to Landlord
                  specifying the name of, financial information for, and the
                  nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant,
                  and the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease.
                  Tenant may not assign or sublease all or any part of the
                  Leased Premises at any time when Tenant is in default under
                  this Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred.

         (d)      Landlord has a period of 20 days from receipt of Tenant's
                  notice to notify Tenant that Landlord elects, in Landlord's
                  sole discretion, to:

                  (1)      terminate this Lease as to the space that is the
                           subject of Tenant's notice as of the date specified
                           by Tenant, and if more than thirty percent (30%) of
                           the Leased Premises, whether through one or more
                           transactions, will be subject to assignments or
                           subleases as a results of the proposed sublease or
                           assignment, Landlord shall have the right to
                           terminate the Lease in its entirety;

                  (2)      consent to the assignment or sublease; provided, if
                           the rent payable to the Tenant by the sublessee is
                           greater than the Minimum Rent, fifty percent (50%) of
                           the excess rent is payable by Tenant as additional
                           Rent to Landlord on the same dates Tenant pays
                           Minimum Rent; or

                  (3)      refuse to consent to Tenant's assignment or sublease
                           of that space and to continue this Lease in effect.


                                                                         PAGE 13

                  If Landlord does not notify Tenant of Landlord's election
                  within the 20-day period, Landlord is deemed to elect option
                  (3).

         (e)      Any change in a majority of the voting rights or other control
                  rights of Tenant is an assignment for purposes of this
                  Paragraph. If Tenant is a partnership, then any transfer of a
                  general partnership interest is an assignment for purposes
                  hereof.

         (f)      As a condition to the effectiveness of each assignment or
                  subletting, and whether or not Landlord's prior consent is
                  required for the assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to
                  Landlord its reasonable administrative and legal costs in
                  connection therewith, not to exceed $1,000.

         (g)      Any attempted assignment or sublease by Tenant or any
                  attempted reorganization of Tenant in violation of the terms
                  of this Paragraph is void.

         (h)      Tenant may not enter into any sublease, license, concession or
                  other agreement for any use, occupancy or utilization of the
                  Leased Premises that provides for a rental or other payment
                  for the use, occupancy, or utilization based in whole or in
                  part on the net income or profits derived by any person from
                  the premises so leased, used, occupied, or utilized.

         (i)      Tenant may, without the prior consent of Landlord, sublet all
                  or any part of the Leased Premises to an Affiliate (defined
                  below), or assign this Lease to an Affiliate, so long as (i)
                  Tenant provides Landlord a copy of the sublease or the
                  assignment within 10 days after its execution, (ii) the
                  transaction was not entered into as a subterfuge to avoid the
                  obligations and restrictions of this Lease, (iii) the assignee
                  or sublessee is engaged in a business customarily acceptable
                  for a tenant in a first-class high-rise building in Dallas,
                  Texas, (iv) the assignee's or sublessee's proposed use of the
                  Leased Premises does not violate this Lease, and (v) the
                  assignee's or sublessee's net worth, creditworthiness and
                  financial standing is equal to or better than Tenant's as of
                  the date of such assignment or sublease. Landlord has no
                  obligation to recognize an Affiliate as the tenant under this
                  Lease unless Landlord timely receives a complete copy of the
                  assignment or sublease. Tenant and Guarantor remain jointly
                  and severally liable for the payment of Rent and performance
                  of all other obligations under this Lease after any assignment
                  or subletting to an Affiliate. The term AFFILIATE means any
                  entity that acquires all or part of Tenant, or that is
                  acquired in whole or in part by Tenant, or which entity
                  controls, directly or indirectly, Tenant. For purposes of this
                  subparagraph, CONTROL means the possession, directly or
                  indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of
                  the management and policies of a corporation, whether through
                  the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
                  otherwise.

                                                                         PAGE 14

         (j)      If Landlord exercises its termination right set forth in
                  subparagraph 11(d)(1) above, the number of reserved (if any)
                  and unreserved parking spaces allocated to Tenant reduces
                  proportionately, effective as of the date of termination.

         (k)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not unreasonably
                  withhold its approval of an assignment of this Lease or a
                  sublease of a portion of the Leased Premises so long as the
                  following conditions are satisfied: (i) the assignee or
                  sublessee is of a kind and type and has a net worth and
                  creditworthiness comparable to other tenants customarily found
                  in or comparable with first-class office buildings in the
                  downtown Dallas central business district comparable to the
                  Building; (ii) the assignee or sublessee is engaged in a
                  business customarily acceptable for a tenant in a first-class
                  office building in the downtown Dallas central business
                  district comparable to the Building; (iii) the assignee's or
                  sublessee's proposed use of the Leased Premises does not
                  violate this Lease or any restriction applicable to the
                  Building; (iv) at the time of such assignment or subletting,
                  this Lease is in full force and effect and there is no uncured
                  Event of Default; (v) the assignee or sublessee shall not use
                  the Leased Premises or the Building in a manner that adversely
                  interferes with, burdens the use of or otherwise increases the
                  use of the public areas of the Project, any Building system,
                  or the use of the elevators or any Building system; and (vi)
                  in no event shall the following be considered as suitable
                  assignees or sublessees under this Lease: any governmental
                  body, agency or bureau (of the United States, any state,
                  county, municipality or any subdivision thereof); any foreign
                  government or subdivision thereof; any health care
                  professional or health care service organization; schools or
                  similar organizations; employment agencies; radio, television
                  or other communication stations; restaurants; and retailers
                  offering retail services from the Leased Premises.

         (l)      Notwithstanding the giving by Landlord of its consent to any
                  sublease or assignment with respect to the Leased Premises, no
                  sublessee or assignee may exercise any renewal options,
                  expansion options, rights of first offer or similar rights
                  under this Lease except in accordance with a separate written
                  agreement entered into directly between such sublessee or
                  assignee and Landlord, provided Tenant continues to be liable
                  for the performance of all obligations hereunder, as increased
                  or otherwise affected by the exercise of such rights. Tenant
                  may not exercise any renewal options, expansion options,
                  rights of first offer or similar rights under this Lease if
                  Tenant has assigned any portion of its interest in this Lease
                  or subleased any portion of the Leased Premises.

12.      REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE BY TENANT.

         (a)      Except for those repairs and maintenance obligations required
                  to be undertaken by Landlord as expressly provided in this
                  Lease, Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises [including,
                  without limitation, Standard Improvements and Tenant
                  Improvements


                                                                         PAGE 15

<PAGE>   20


                  (both as defined in Exhibit F)] and all fixtures installed by
                  or on behalf of Tenant in good and tenantable condition.
                  Tenant shall promptly make all necessary non-structural
                  repairs and replacements to its fixtures and Tenant
                  Improvements, all at Tenant's expense, under the supervision
                  and with the approval of Landlord. All repairs and
                  replacements must be equal in quality and class to the
                  original work. Without diminishing this obligation of Tenant,
                  if Tenant fails to make any repairs and replacements within 15
                  days after the occurrence of the damage or injury, Landlord
                  may at its option make the repairs and replacements and Tenant
                  shall pay Landlord on demand as additional Rent the costs
                  incurred by Landlord plus an administrative fee equal to 10%
                  of the costs; provided, however, that with respect to any
                  repair which reasonably requires more than 15 days to
                  complete, Landlord shall not have the right to make such
                  repair or replacement as long as Tenant commences such repair
                  within such 15 day period and thereafter diligently pursues
                  such repair to completion.

         (b)      Tenant shall pay the cost of repairs and replacements due to
                  damage or injury to the Project or any part thereof caused by
                  any Tenant Party or by any malfunction or misuse of any
                  equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant. This amount is
                  payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional Rent,
                  plus interest at the Interest Rate from the date of payment by
                  Landlord until paid by Tenant. If Tenant requests Landlord to
                  perform any maintenance or repairs to the Leased Premises,
                  over and above the services required to be performed by
                  Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 7, Tenant shall pay the actual
                  cost thereof, plus an administrative fee equal to 10% of the
                  actual cost thereof, to Landlord as additional Rent within 5
                  business days after demand.

         (c)      Tenant also shall pay the actual cost, plus an administrative
                  fee equal to 10% of the actual cost thereof, to Landlord as
                  additional Rent within 5 days after demand, of replacing
                  fluorescent light tubes in Building standard light fixtures
                  located in the Leased Premises.

13.      ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS BY TENANT.

         (a)      Tenant may not make or permit any alterations, improvements,
                  or additions in or to the Leased Premises or the Project
                  without Landlord's prior consent. Provided Tenant has notified
                  Landlord in writing at least 10 days prior to the commencement
                  of any such work within the Leased Premises, Landlord will not
                  unreasonably withhold its approval of non-structural
                  alterations or physical additions to the Leased Premises which
                  cost $10,000 or less in each case subject to the following
                  limitations: (i) such alterations and additions will not
                  impair the structural integrity of the Building, (ii) such
                  alterations and additions will not affect the mechanical,
                  electrical, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning or ventilation
                  systems of the Leased Premises, (iii) such alterations and
                  additions are accomplished in a good and workmanlike


                                                                         PAGE 16
<PAGE>   21


                  manner and in accordance with all applicable governmental
                  requirements, (iv) such alterations and additions are not
                  visible from outside the Leased Premises, and (v) Tenant
                  obtains all applicable governmental permits and approvals
                  required in connection with such alterations and additions.
                  All alterations, additions, and improvements made to, or
                  fixtures or other improvements placed in or upon, the Leased
                  Premises, whether temporary or permanent in character, by
                  either party (except only Tenant's movable trade fixtures,
                  office furniture, and equipment) are a part of the Project and
                  are the property of Landlord when they are placed in the
                  Leased Premises without compensation to Tenant. Alterations,
                  improvements, and additions in and to the Leased Premises
                  requested by Tenant must be made in accordance with complete
                  and accurate plans and specifications and construction
                  documents [including, without limitation, complete mechanical,
                  electrical and plumbing (MEP) requirements] prepared by Tenant
                  and approved in advance by Landlord. All work must be
                  performed at Tenant's expense either by Landlord or by
                  contractors and subcontractors approved in advance by
                  Landlord. If the work is not performed by Landlord, then all
                  work performed by Tenant's contractors and subcontractors is
                  subject to the following conditions:

                  (1)      Each contractor and subcontractor must deliver
                           evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the insurance
                           specified on EXHIBIT D is in force prior to
                           commencing work.

                  (2)      Tenant shall ensure that all workers are cooperative
                           with Project personnel and comply with all Project
                           Rules and Regulations.

                  (3)      Tenant must deliver to Landlord evidence that Tenant
                           has obtained all necessary governmental permits and
                           approvals for the improvements or alterations prior
                           to starting any work.

                  (4)      All construction must be done in a good and
                           workmanlike manner and is subject to approval by
                           Landlord during and after construction to determine
                           compliance with the approved plans and specifications
                           and construction documents, in its sole discretion.

                  (5)      Lien releases from each contractor and subcontractor
                           must be submitted to Landlord within 5 days after
                           completion of the work performed by the contractor or
                           subcontractor.

                  (6)      Within 30 days after completion of any improvements
                           or alterations, Tenant, at its cost, shall deliver to
                           Landlord 2 reproducible copies of "as-built" plans
                           and specifications (1/8" scale) for each floor where
                           alterations or improvements were made.


                                                                         PAGE 17
<PAGE>   22




                  All changes to the plans and specifications and construction
                  documents are also subject to Landlord's prior approval.

         (b)      Tenant must use Landlord's fire protection contractor and must
                  either (1) use Landlord's MEP engineer to prepare the MEP
                  portions of the plans and specifications and construction
                  documents, or (2) reimburse the cost of one review by
                  Landlord's MEP engineer of the plans and specifications and
                  the construction documents. Landlord shall cause its fire
                  protection contractor and MEP engineer to perform the work for
                  Tenant at Landlord's contracted rates.

         (c)      All alterations and improvements by Tenant must comply with
                  all Applicable Laws. Tenant and its consultants must
                  coordinate any alterations or additions relating to compliance
                  with Access Laws with Landlord and Landlord's Access Law
                  compliance plan for the Project in preparing the plans and
                  specifications and construction documents. If Tenant's
                  alterations or additions to the Leased Premises or the manner
                  in which Tenant uses the Leased Premises cause Landlord to
                  make any alterations or improvements to the Project to comply
                  with the provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act of
                  1990 (as amended), the Texas Architectural Barriers Act (as
                  amended) [Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 9102], and any
                  similar law, rule or regulation relating to access by disabled
                  persons to the Leased Premises or the Project (collectively,
                  ACCESS LAWS), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
                  the alterations or improvements upon demand as additional
                  Rent. Neither Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans and
                  specifications for the alterations or improvements nor
                  Landlord's acceptance of Tenant's as-built plans is a
                  confirmation or agreement by Landlord that the improvements
                  and alterations comply with Applicable Laws.

         (d)      Within 30 days after Tenant installs any telephone or data
                  cables, whether or not in connection with an alteration or
                  addition to the Leased Premises, Tenant, at its cost, shall
                  deliver to Landlord 2 reproducible copies of "as-built" plans
                  and specifications (1/8" scale) showing the location of the
                  telephone and data cables.

         (e)      As between Landlord and Tenant, for purposes of the insurance
                  requirements of Paragraph 18, Tenant has an insurable interest
                  in all of the Tenant Improvements and alterations made by
                  Tenant in the Leased Premises, but all of the Tenant
                  Improvements and alterations shall be surrendered to Landlord
                  with the Leased Premises upon the expiration or earlier
                  termination of the Lease as set forth in Paragraph 25 of the
                  Lease.

14.      USE AND OCCUPANCY.

         (a)      The Leased Premises may be used and occupied by Tenant only
                  for general business offices and incidental uses and for no
                  other purpose without Landlord's prior consent, in its sole
                  discretion. Tenant shall use and maintain the Leased Premises
                  in a clean,

<PAGE>   23


                  careful, safe, and proper manner and shall comply with all
                  laws, ordinances, orders, rules, and regulations of all
                  governmental bodies (state, federal, and municipal) applicable
                  to or having jurisdiction over the use, occupancy, operation,
                  and maintenance of the Leased Premises and the Project,
                  including without limitations all applicable environmental
                  laws and the Access Laws (those laws, ordinances, orders,
                  rules, decisions, and regulations being called APPLICABLE
                  LAWS).

         (b)      Tenant may not deface or injure the Leased Premises or the
                  Project or any part thereof or overload the floors of the
                  Leased Premises. Tenant may not commit waste or permit waste
                  to be committed or cause or permit any nuisance on or in the
                  Leased Premises or the Project. Tenant shall pay Landlord on
                  demand as additional Rent for any damage to the Leased
                  Premises or to any other part of the Project caused by any
                  negligence or willful act or any misuse or abuse (whether or
                  not the misuse or abuse results from negligence or willful
                  acts) by Tenant or any Tenant Party or any other person
                  (except Landlord or any of its agents, employees, or
                  contractors) authorized by Tenant to enter upon the Leased
                  Premises.

         (c)      Tenant may not use or allow the Leased Premises to be used for
                  any purpose prohibited by any Applicable Law, or by any
                  restrictive covenants applicable to the Project, or as a
                  manned express mail pick up center for delivery services like
                  Airborne and Federal Express, or for the sale of bakery
                  products for dessert items including cookies, fudge slices,
                  bar type cookies and cakes, cupcakes and brownies, whether the
                  product is sold packaged or unpackaged if the sales would
                  constitute more than 10% of Tenant's gross receipts, or for a
                  mini-bank or bank. Tenant may not sell, purchase, or give

                  governmental or quasi-governmental bureau, department or
                  agency. Tenant shall conduct its business and occupy the
                  Leased Premises and control all Tenant Parties so as not to
                  create any nuisance or interfere with, annoy, or disturb any
                  other tenants in the Project or Landlord in its management of
                  the Project and so as not to injure the reputation of the
                  Project.

         (d)      Tenant may not erect, place, or allow to be placed any sign,
                  advertising matter, stand, booth, or showcase in or upon the
                  doorsteps, vestibules, halls, corridors, doors, walls,
                  windows, or pavement of the Project visible outside the Leased
                  Premises (except for lettering on the door or doors to the
                  Leased Premises as allowed by the Rules and Regulations
                  attached as EXHIBIT D) without the prior consent of Landlord;
                  provided, however, that on the interior of any floor leased
                  entirely by Tenant, Tenant may

                                                                         PAGE 19

                  install signage approved by Landlord, which approval shall not
                  be unreasonably withheld, that is not visible from the
                  exterior of the Leased Premises.

         (e)      Tenant may not use or allow or permit the Leased Premises to
                  be used in any way or for any purpose that:

                  (1)      Landlord deems hazardous on account of the
                           possibility of fire or other casualty;

                  (2)      is visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises,
                           adversely affects ventilation in other areas of the

                  (3)      increases the rate of fire or other insurance for the

                           voidable any insurance on the Project.

                  If insurance premiums are increased because of Tenant's use of
                  the Leased Premises, then, in addition to any other remedies
                  Landlord may have, Tenant shall pay the amount of the increase
                  to Landlord as additional Rent within 5 days after demand.

15.      MECHANICS' LIENS - TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS.

         Tenant may not cause or permit any mechanic's or materialman's lien to

         Premises or any part thereof or against Landlord's interest under this
         Lease by any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or materialman
         performing any labor or furnishing any materials to Tenant for any
         improvement, alteration, or repair of or to the Leased Premises, the
         Project, or any part thereof. If any lien is filed on Landlord's
         interest or Tenant's interest in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall
         cause the same to be discharged of record within 20 days after filing.
         If Tenant does not discharge the lien within the 20-day period, then,
         in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but
         is not obligated to, discharge the lien by paying the amount claimed to
         be due or by procuring the discharge of the lien by deposit in court or
         bonding. Any amount paid by Landlord relating to any lien not caused by
         Landlord, and all reasonable legal and other expenses of Landlord,
         including reasonable attorneys' fees, in defending any action or in
         procuring the discharge of any lien, with interest thereon at the
         Interest Rate from date of payment by Landlord until paid by Tenant, is
         payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional Rent.


                                                                         PAGE 20

                  of each insurance company to notify Landlord at least 45 days
                  prior to cancellation, non-renewal, or material reduction of
                  the coverage.

         (c)      Tenant shall deliver copies of duly executed certificates of
                  insurance to Landlord prior to occupying any part of the
                  Leased Premises, and on an annual basis thereafter. If Tenant
                  fails to comply with these insurance requirements, Landlord
                  may obtain the required insurance and Tenant shall pay to
                  Landlord on demand as additional Rent the premium cost thereof
                  plus interest at the Interest Rate from the date of payment by
                  Landlord until paid by Tenant.

         effecting an eviction, constructive or actual, or disturbance of
         Tenant's use or possession or giving rise to any claim for set-off or
         abatement of Rent:

         (a)      To change the Building's or the Project's name or street
                  address; provided Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost
                  of a 1 month supply of stationery.

         (b)      To install, affix, and maintain any signs on the exterior and
                  interior of the Project.

                  window shades, blinds, drapes, awnings, window ventilators,
                  and similar equipment, and to control all internal lighting

                  other services on the Leased Premises and, in general, the
                  exclusive right to designate, limit, restrict, and control any
                  business and any service in or to the Project and its tenants.

         (e)      To enter upon the Leased Premises with reasonable notice
                  (except in the case of an emergency when no notice shall be
                  required) at reasonable hours to inspect, clean, or make
                  repairs or alterations to the Leased Premises (but without any
                  obligation to do so, except as expressly specified in this
                  Lease), to make repairs or alterations to any part of the
                  Building or the Building systems (including adjacent
                  premises), to show the Leased Premises to prospective lenders,
                  purchasers, and, during the last 12 months of the Lease Term,
                  to show the Leased Premises to prospective tenants at
                  reasonable hours and, if the Leased Premises are vacant, to

                  Landlord shall not enter into areas previously designated in
                  writing by Tenant as high security areas unless (i) Landlord
                  shows cause therefor and is accompanied by a representative of
                  Tenant, or (ii) in the event of an emergency. Landlord's
                  obligations under this Lease shall be reduced to the extent of
                  Tenant's refusal to grant access to such portions of the
                  Leased Premises.

         (f)      To retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances,

                  Landlord.

         (g)      To decorate and make repairs, alterations, additions, changes,
                  or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about
                  the Project, and for those purposes to enter upon the Leased
                  Premises and, during the continuance of the work, temporarily
                  close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the
                  Project, to interrupt or temporarily suspend Project services
                  and facilities, and to change the arrangement


                                                                         PAGE 25
<PAGE>   30


                  and location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways,
                  corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts
                  of the Project, all without abatement or set off of Rent or
                  affecting any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, so
                  long as the Leased Premises are reasonably accessible. In
                  exercising the foregoing rights, Landlord agrees to use
                  reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the
                  conduct of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises, including
                  making reasonable efforts to cause voluntary and intentional
                  total interruptions of Essential Services to occur after
                  Building Standard Hours.

         (h)      To have and retain a paramount title to the Leased Premises
                  and the Project free and clear of any act of Tenant purporting
                  to burden or encumber the Leased Premises or the Project.

         (i)      To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business
                  or render any service in or to the Project, provided the
                  exclusive right does not operate to exclude Tenant from the
                  uses expressly permitted in this Lease.

         (j)      To approve the weight, size, and location of safes, heavy
                  equipment, file cabinets, book shelves, and other heavy items
                  in and about the Leased Premises and the Project and to
                  require all those items and all furniture to be moved into and
                  out of the Project and the Leased Premises only at times and
                  in a manner specified by Landlord. Movements of Tenant's
                  property into or out of the Project and within the Project are
                  entirely at the risk and responsibility of Tenant. To require
                  permits before allowing Tenant's property to be moved into or
                  out of the Project.

         (k)      To take reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for
                  the security of the Project and its occupants including,
                  without limitation, the search of all persons entering or
                  leaving the Project, the evacuation of the Project for cause,
                  suspected cause, or for drill purposes, the temporary denial
                  of access to the Project, and the closing of the Project after
                  Building Standard Hours, subject to Tenant's right to
                  admittance when the Project is closed after Building Standard
                  Hours under reasonable regulations Landlord may prescribe from
                  time to time.

         (l)      To transfer, assign, or convey, in whole or in part, the
                  Project and Landlord's rights under this Lease. If Landlord
                  transfers, assigns, or conveys its rights under this Lease,
                  Landlord is released from any further obligations under this
                  Lease and Tenant shall look solely to the successor in
                  interest of Landlord for performance of the obligations of
                  "Landlord" under this Lease.

                                                                         PAGE 26
<PAGE>   31

21.  FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

     (a)  If the Leased Premises or any part thereof are damaged by fire or
          other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord.
          If the Project or the Building is so damaged by fire or other casualty
          that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Project or the
          Building is, in Landlord's sole opinion, required (whether or not the
          Leased Premises are damaged) or if any mortgagee under a mortgage or
          deed of trust covering the Project requires that the insurance
          proceeds payable as a result of the fire or other casualty be used to
          retire the mortgage debt, Landlord may, at its sole option, terminate
          this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination within 90 days after
          the date of the damage. If Landlord terminates this Lease under this
          Paragraph, the Rent abates as of the date of the damage.

     (b)  If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall
          within 90 days after the date of the damage commence to repair and
          restore the Project (except that Landlord is not responsible for
          delays outside its control) to substantially the same condition in
          which it was immediately prior to the casualty. Upon such damage,
          Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or Landlord's designee) all insurance
          proceeds payable to Tenant under the property insurance required
          pursuant to Paragraph 18 (save and except proceeds paid for loss of
          Tenant's personal property) and Landlord shall repair and replace the
          Standard Improvements, Tenant Improvements and alterations installed
          in the Leased Premises; provided that Landlord shall in no event be
          obligated to expend for such repair or replacement amounts in excess
          of the insurance proceeds available to Landlord (over and above
          amounts going to the mortgagee of the Building and/or Project).
          Landlord is not liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to any
          Tenant Party or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way
          from casualty damage or the repairs; provided, during the time and to
          the extent the Leased Premises are unfit for occupancy, Landlord
          shall, either furnish Tenant with comparable office space at
          prevailing market rates or a fair diminution of Rent, in accordance
          with the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant at the time.

     (c)  If the damages are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
          any Tenant Party, Rent does not abate and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
          on demand as additional Rent any damages in excess of the amount paid
          by insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

22.  CONDEMNATION.

     (a)  If all or substantially all of the Project or the Building is taken
          for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law,
          ordinance, or regulation or by right of eminent domain or is sold to
          the condemning authority in lieu of condemnation, then this Lease
          terminates as of the date which is 7 days prior to the date when
          physical


                                                                         PAGE 27
<PAGE>   32

          possession of the portion of the Building or Project is taken by the
          condemning authority. If less than all or substantially all of the
          Project or the Building is taken or sold, Landlord (whether or not the
          Leased Premises are affected) may terminate this Lease by giving
          notice to Tenant within 90 days after the right of election accrues,
          in which event this Lease terminates as of the date which is 7 days
          prior to the date when physical possession of the portion of the
          Building and Project is taken by the condemning authority.

     (b)  If this Lease is not terminated upon any taking or sale of less than
          all or substantially all of the Project:

          (1)  the Rent reduces by an amount representing that part of the Rent
               properly allocable to the portion of the Leased Premises taken or
               sold; and

          (2)  Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense, restore the Project
               to substantially its former condition to the extent reasonably
               deemed feasible by Landlord, but:

               (A)  Landlord's restoration obligation does not exceed the scope
                    of the work done by Landlord in originally constructing the
                    Project and installing Standard Improvements in the Leased
                    Premises; and

               (B)  Landlord is not required to spend for the work an amount in
                    excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation or
                    damages (over and above amounts going to the mortgagee of
                    the property taken) for the part of the Project so taken.

               (C)  Landlord is entitled to receive all of the compensation
                    awarded upon a taking of any part or all of the Project,
                    including any award for the value of the unexpired Lease
                    Term. Tenant is not entitled to and expressly waives all
                    claim to any compensation; provided, Tenant is entitled to
                    receive any award for damages to the Tenant Improvements not
                    paid for by Landlord.

23.  TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY.

     Tenant shall pay, and indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless
     against, all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture,
     fixtures, or other improvements placed by or for Tenant in the Leased
     Premises. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed
     against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord is required to pay
     the taxes or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by
     inclusion of personal property, furniture, fixtures, or other improvements
     placed by or for Tenant in the Leased Premises and Landlord elects to pay
     the increased taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as


                                                                         PAGE 28
<PAGE>   33

     additional Rent that part of the taxes for which Tenant is liable under
     this Paragraph. If Landlord is advised of any increase in property
     valuation which could give rise to a property tax increase for which
     Landlord is entitled to indemnification under this Paragraph 23, then
     Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such increase and Tenant shall
     thereafter have the right to contest such increase provided Tenant contests
     such increase in accordance with all applicable laws as to Tenant's
     personal property only and Tenant either pays the resulting tax increase
     before it becomes due or provides Landlord with adequate security for the
     payment of such tax and any penalty and interest should the contest be
     denied.

24.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

     Each party waives all claims that arise or may arise in its favor against
     the other party, or anyone claiming through or under them, by way of
     subrogation or otherwise, during the Lease Term or any extension or renewal
     thereof, for all losses of, or damage to, any of its property (whether or
     not the loss or damage is caused by the fault or negligence of the other
     party or anyone for whom the other party is responsible), which loss or
     damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage
     insurance policies, to the extent that the loss or damage is recovered
     under the insurance policies. These waivers are in addition to, and not in
     limitation of, any other waiver or release in this Lease with respect to
     any loss or damage to property of the parties. Since these mutual waivers
     preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise)
     to an insurance company (or any other person), each party shall immediately
     give each insurance company issuing to it policies of fire and extended
     coverage insurance written notice of the terms of these mutual waivers, and
     have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the
     invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of these waivers.

25.  SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION; HOLDOVER.

     (a)  Upon the Expiration Date or any earlier termination of this Lease,
          Tenant shall: (1) surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased
          Premises in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear and
          damages or destruction by any insured casualty excepted, and (2)
          deliver to Landlord all keys to the Leased Premises and all parking
          access cards. If Tenant does not immediately surrender possession,
          Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and
          expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the
          Leased Premises, or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without
          having any civil or criminal liability therefor.

     (b)  If Tenant or any of its successors in interest continues to hold any
          part of the Leased Premises after the termination of this Lease, the
          holding over is a tenancy at sufferance at a monthly rental equal to
          175% of the monthly Minimum Rent payable at the time of termination,
          plus the payment of all other Rent payable under this Lease. While
          Tenant or its successor continues to hold the Leased Premises after
          the


                                                                         PAGE 29
<PAGE>   34

          termination of this Lease, the tenancy is subject to all terms of this
          Lease; provided, all expansion rights, first refusal rights, first
          notice rights, first offer rights, and renewal rights automatically
          terminate. Landlord shall have the right to terminate such tenancy at
          any time at will on one (1) day notice.

     (c)  No payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the termination of
          this Lease reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease Term and no
          extension of this Lease after the termination or expiration thereof is
          valid unless it is reduced to writing and signed by Landlord and
          Tenant. Nothing in this Paragraph may be construed to give Tenant the
          right to hold over beyond the Expiration Date or any earlier
          termination of this Lease or preclude Landlord from having the right
          to dispossess or otherwise terminate Tenant's right of possession. Any
          month-to-month tenancy is terminable upon notice from Landlord.

26.  REMOVAL OF TENANT'S PROPERTY.

     (a)  All furniture, movable trade fixtures, and equipment installed by or
          on behalf of Tenant remains the property of Tenant and must be removed
          by Tenant at its sole risk and expense at the termination of this
          Lease, but may not be removed prior to the termination of this Lease
          without Landlord's prior consent. Any removal of Tenant's property
          must be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to
          damage the Leased Premises or the Project. Tenant, or Landlord at
          Tenant's expense, shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises or
          the Project caused by any removal. All furniture, movable trade
          fixtures, and equipment installed by Tenant not removed within 15 days
          after termination of the Lease are conclusively presumed to be
          abandoned by Tenant. Landlord may, at its option, take the possession
          of the property (including any special use improvements) and either
          (1) declare it to be the property of Landlord by notice to Tenant or
          (2) at the sole risk and expense of Tenant and without payment of any
          compensation to Tenant, remove it or any part thereof in any manner
          that Landlord chooses and store, sell, or otherwise dispose of it
          without incurring liability to Tenant or any other person. All amounts
          payable to Landlord under this Paragraph plus interest at the Interest
          Rate from date of payment by Landlord until paid by Tenant are due on
          demand as additional Rent.

     (b)  Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall also remove, at its sole risk
          and expense, any special use improvements installed by or on behalf of
          Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Finish Work (as
          defined in EXHIBIT F), any Additional Work, or otherwise. The term
          SPECIAL USE IMPROVEMENTS means all special improvements installed
          specifically for use by Tenant and includes, without limitation,
          telephone and data cables, computer floors and cables, cafeteria
          equipment, telephones and telephone equipment, supplemental air
          conditioning units and related equipment, equipment supplying excess
          electricity to the Leased Premises, and similar items. Any removal
          must be accomplished in a good and



                                                                         PAGE 30
<PAGE>   35

          workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Leased Premises or the
          Project. Tenant, or Landlord at Tenant's expense, shall repair any

     (h)  Tenant does not conduct its business in any substantial portion of the

28.  LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

     If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may then or any time thereafter
     while the Event of Default continues and without any further notice or
     opportunity to cure except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph pursue
     any one or more of the following remedies:

     (a)  Terminate this Lease (without terminating Tenant's obligation to pay
          Rent for the balance of the Lease Term) by giving notice to Tenant, in
          which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to
          Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises, Landlord
          may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has for possession or
          arrearages in Rent, take possession of the Leased Premises and expel
          or remove Tenant and any other person occupying the Leased Premises,
          or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim
          of damages. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as additional Rent
          the amount of all loss and damage Landlord suffers by reason of the
          termination, whether through inability to relet the Leased Premises on
          satisfactory terms or otherwise. Except to the extent required by law,
          Landlord has no duty to re-let the Leased Premises. Landlord's damages
          specifically include, but are not limited to: (1) all reasonable
          expenses necessary to re-let the Leased Premises including the cost of
          renovating, repairing, and altering the Leased Premises for a new
          tenant or tenants, advertisements, and brokerage fees; and (2) any
          increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Leased
          Premises. Nothing in this Lease limits Landlord's right to prove and
          obtain in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings damages by reason of
          the termination of this Lease in an amount equal to the maximum
          allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when the
          damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater, equal
          to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

     (b)  Take possession of the Leased Premises and remove Tenant or any other
          person occupying the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without
          having any civil or criminal liability and without terminating this
          Lease. Landlord may (but is under no obligation, except as may be
          required by law, to) re-let the Leased Premises or any part thereof
          for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or
          otherwise, without notice to Tenant for a term or terms (which may be
          greater or less than the period that would otherwise have constituted
          the balance of the Lease Term) and on conditions (which may include
          concessions or free rent) and for uses as Landlord in its sole
          discretion may determine. Landlord may collect and receive any rents
          payable by reason of any re-letting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on
          demand as additional Rent all reasonable expenses necessary to re-let
          the Leased Premises, which includes the cost of renovating, repairing,
          and altering the Leased Premises for a new tenant or tenants,
          advertisements, and brokerage fees, as well as any deficiency



                                                                         PAGE 32
<PAGE>   37

          that may arise by reason of the reletting. Landlord is not liable for
          any failure to relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof or for
          any failure to collect any Rent due upon any re-letting. No taking of
          possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord is an election on
          Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of termination
          is given to Tenant under subparagraphs (a) or (e).

     (c)  Enter upon the Leased Premises without having any civil or criminal
          liability and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of
          this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand as additional
          Rent for any expenses Landlord incurs in performing Tenant's
          obligations under this Lease, together with interest at the rate of
          18% per annum from the date incurred until repaid by Tenant. Landlord
          is not liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from Landlord's
          actions or omissions in performing Tenant's obligations, whether
          caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

     (d)  Interrupt or cause the interruption of any utility service serving the
          Leased Premises, deactivate Tenant's parking access cards, suspend
          elevator service to the Leased Premises, remove, alter, or change any
          door, window, attic hatchway cover to the Leased Premises, or any
          lock, latch, hinge, hinge pin, doorknob, or other mechanism connected
          to any door, window, or attic hatchway cover to the Leased Premises,
          and intentionally prevent Tenant from entering the Leased Premises
          without resort to judicial process. Landlord is under no obligation to
          restore any door, window, or attic hatchway cover or any lock, latch,
          hinge, hinge pin, doorknob, or other mechanism attached thereto or to
          deliver or make available to Tenant any key to any door, window, or
          attic hatchway cover until Tenant fully cures all Events of Default
          then existing under this Lease.

     (e)  Terminate this Lease and forthwith repossess the Leased Premises and
          remove all persons or property therefrom, and be entitled to recover
          forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost
          of recovering the Leased Premises (including, without limitation,
          attorneys' fees and costs of suit), (ii) the cost as reasonably
          estimated by Landlord of any alterations of, or repairs to, the Leased
          Premises which are necessary or proper to prepare the same for
          reletting, (iii) the unpaid Rent owed at the time of termination, plus
          interest thereon from due date at the rate of 18% per annum, (iv) the
          present value of the balance of the Rent for the remainder of the Term
          less the present value of the fair market rental value (and in
          computing the fair market rental value the factors taken into account
          shall include without limitation the market rental concessions and the
          time necessary to relet the Leased Premises) of the Leased Premises
          for said period (in each case using a discount rate of 8% per annum),
          and (v) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord.


                                                                         PAGE 33
<PAGE>   38

     (f)  If Tenant violates Section 27 (h), then Landlord, as its sole and
          exclusive remedy, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
          Landlord's sole option, to terminate this Lease by delivering to
          Tenant 30 days' prior written notice of the effective date of such
          termination.

     No repossession of or reentering all or any part of the Leased Premises,
     and no re-letting of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, relieves
     Tenant or Guarantor of any liabilities or obligations under this Lease, all
     of which survive repossession or re-entering by Landlord. If Landlord
     repossesses or re-enters all or any part of the Leased Premises after an
     Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent required to be paid
     by Tenant. No right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease is intended to
     be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy of
     Landlord is cumulative and all other rights or remedies under this Lease or
     now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. In addition to
     other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord is entitled, to the extent
     permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation,
     or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the terms of this Lease, or
     to a decree compelling specific performance of the terms of this Lease.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord is
     deemed to have a duty to mitigate its damages arising from a default by
     Tenant under this Lease, then Landlord's duty to mitigate shall be limited
     to using reasonable and good faith efforts to relet the Leased Premises,
     which duty to relet the Leased Premises shall not (i) require Landlord to
     give priority to the Leased Premises over other premises owned or managed
     by Landlord or its affiliates, (ii) require Landlord to relet for less than
     market rent, or (iii) require Landlord to relet to a tenant (or for a use)
     which is not in keeping with the first-class character of the Project.

29.  NO IMPLIED WAIVER.

     The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist at any time upon the strict
     performance of any of the terms of this Lease or to exercise any option,
     right, power, or remedy contained in this Lease is not a waiver of the
     right or remedy for the future. The waiver of any breach of this Lease or
     violation of the Rules and Regulations attached to this Lease does not
     prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a breach
     or violation, from having all the force and effect of an original breach or
     violation. No express waiver affects any terms other than the ones
     specified in the waiver and those only for the time and in the manner
     specifically stated. Acceptance by Landlord of any Rent after the breach of
     any of the terms of this Lease or violation of any Rule or Regulation is
     not a waiver of the breach or violation or the right to collect applicable
     late charges and interest, and no waiver by Landlord of any of the terms of
     this Lease is effective unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.


                                                                         PAGE 34
<PAGE>   39

30.  WAIVER BY TENANT.

     Tenant waives and surrenders for itself and all persons or entities
     claiming by, through, and under it, including creditors of all kinds: (A)
     any right and privilege which it or any of them has under any present or
     future constitution, statute, or rule of law to redeem the Leased Premises
     or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term after termination
     of Tenant's right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any
     legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease; (B) the benefits
     of any present or future constitution, statute, or rule of law that exempts
     property from liability for debt or for distress for Rent; (C) any
     provision of law relating to notice or delay in levy of execution in case
     of eviction of a tenant for nonpayment of Rent; (D) any rights, privileges,
     and liens set out under Sections 91.004 and 93.003 of the Texas Property
     Code (as amended), and Tenant exempts Landlord from any liability or duty
     thereunder; and (E) any rights of Tenant to contest reappraisals of the
     Project (but not ad valorem taxes on Tenant's personal property in the
     Leased Premises) under Sections 41.143 and 42.015 of the Texas Tax Code (as
     amended).

31.  ATTORNEYS' FEES AND LEGAL EXPENSES.

     If either party files litigation concerning the interpretation or
     enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party is entitled to recover from
     the losing party the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees, court
     costs, and expenses, whether at the trial or appellate level.

32.  SUBORDINATION.

     (a)  This Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease are subject and
          subordinate to:

          (1)  any mortgage or deed of trust secured by a first lien against the
               Project;

          (2)  all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations,
               replacements, and extensions of any first lien mortgage or deed
               of trust;

          (3)  all ground, primary, or master leases now or hereafter affecting
               the Building, the Project, or any portion thereof; and

          (4)  all leases, restrictions, easements, and encumbrances recorded in
               the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas, to the extent
               they validly affect the Project.

          Tenant shall, upon demand at any time or times, execute, acknowledge,
          and deliver to Landlord, or to Landlord's first mortgagee or any
          lessor, any instruments that may be necessary or proper to more
          effectively effect or evidence this subordination to any first
          mortgage, first deed of trust, or ground, primary, or master lease.


                                                                         PAGE 35
<PAGE>   40

     (b)  If any first mortgage or first deed of trust against the Project is
          foreclosed, or if any ground, primary, or master lease is terminated,
          Tenant shall, upon request by the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or
          the lessor under any ground, primary or master lease:

          (1)  attorn to the purchaser or lessor and recognize the purchaser or
               lessor as "Landlord" under this Lease; and

          (2)  execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the purchaser or lessor an
               instrument in appropriate form acknowledging the attornment.

     (c)  Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or
          hereafter in effect, that may give or purport to give Tenant any right
          or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and
          the obligations of Tenant under this Lease if any foreclosure sale or
          ground, primary, or master lease termination occurs. This Lease is not
          affected in any way whatsoever by any foreclosure sale or ground,
          primary or master lease termination unless the holder(s) of the
          indebtedness or other obligations secured by the mortgages or deeds of
          trust declare otherwise.

     (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such first mortgagee or holder of a
          first deed of trust or lessor under a ground, primary, or master lease
          shall have the right, unilaterally, at any time to fully or partially
          subordinate any such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground, primary or
          master lease or other security instruments to this Lease on such terms
          and subject to such conditions as such first mortgagee or ground,
          primary, or master lessor may consider appropriate in its sole
          discretion. Upon request, Tenant shall execute an instrument
          confirming any such full or partial subordination.

     (e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to approve
          any subordination and non-disturbance agreements required of Tenant,
          provided that Tenant hereby approves any subordination and
          non-disturbance agreement that is not materially different from the
          Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into
          by Tenant and Landlord's First Mortgagee in connection with the
          execution and delivery of this Lease.

33.  QUIET ENJOYMENT.

     If Tenant pays the Rent when due and timely performs all other obligations
     of Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the
     Leased Premises during the Lease Term without any disturbance from Landlord
     or from any other person claiming by, through, or under Landlord, but not
     otherwise, subject to the terms of this Lease and of the deeds of trust,
     mortgages, ground, primary, or master leases, pedestrian tunnel agreements,


                                                                         PAGE 36
<PAGE>   41

     skybridge agreements, parking garage operating agreements, ordinances,
     leases, utility easements, and agreements affecting the Project.

34.  NOTICE OF LANDLORD'S DEFAULT.

     If any act or omission by Landlord occurs that would give Tenant the right
     to damages from Landlord or the right to terminate this Lease due to
     constructive or actual eviction from all or part of the Leased Premises or
     otherwise, Tenant may not sue for damages or exercise any right to
     terminate until (A) it gives notice of the act or omission to Landlord and
     Landlord's first mortgagee, or ground, primary, or master lessor, if any,
     and (B) a reasonable period of time for remedying the act or omission
     elapses following the giving of the notice, during which time Landlord, its
     agents, employees, first mortgagee or ground, primary, or master lessor,
     are entitled to enter the Leased Premises and cure the act or omission.
     During the period after the giving of the notice and during the curing of
     the act or omission, the Rent payable by Tenant abates only to the extent
     that any part of the Leased Premises is untenantable. For purposes of this
     Paragraph, Landlord's first mortgagee's name and address for notice
     purposes are: Pacific-St. Paul Partners, L.P., c/o Dang Phan, Donaldson,
     Lufkin & Jenrette, 277 Park Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10172.

35.  RULES AND REGULATIONS.

     All Tenant Parties must comply with the Rules and Regulations (as changed
     from time to time as hereinafter provided) attached as EXHIBIT C. Landlord
     may at any time make reasonable changes to the Rules and Regulations or
     promulgate other Rules and Regulations as Landlord deems advisable for the
     safety, care, cleanliness, or orderliness of the Project. No changes are
     effective until a copy of the changes is delivered to Tenant. Tenant is
     responsible for the compliance with the Rules and Regulations by all Tenant
     Parties. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to enforce compliance by all
     other tenants with the Rules and Regulations from time to time in effect,
     but Landlord is not responsible to Tenant for failure of any person to
     comply with the Rules and Regulations.

36.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

     Tenant shall, from time to time on not less than 10 days' prior notice by
     Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an Estoppel

38.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

     (a)  Tenant may not:

          (1)  cause or permit the escape, disposal, or release in the Leased
               Premises or the Project of any biologically active, chemically
               active, or hazardous substances or materials (collectively,
               HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES); or

          (2)  bring, or permit any other Tenant Party to bring, any hazardous
               substances into the Leased Premises or the Project.

          (b)  If any lender or governmental agency requires testing to
               ascertain whether or not a release of hazardous substances has
               occurred in or on the Leased Premises or the Project based on
               probable cause that a release occurred and was caused by any

          (c)  Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations, and the like
               from time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's best

     Tenant shall pay as additional Rent all licenses, charges, and other fees
     of every kind and nature as and when they become due arising out of or in

     other taxes (other than income) imposed upon Rent or upon services provided
     by Landlord or upon Landlord in an amount measured by Rent received by
     Landlord.

53.  PARKING.

     (a)  During the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide, twenty-seven (27)
          unreserved parking spaces in the Off-Site Garage and four (4) spaces
          in the On-Site Garage, which four (4) spaces shall, at Tenant's
          option, be either reserved or unreserved spaces, and, subsequent to
          availability, on a month-to-month basis, up to sixty (60) additional
          unreserved spaces in the Off-Site Garage ("Temporary Spaces"),
          specified by Landlord and issue to Tenant one parking access card for
          each parking space. As rental for the parking spaces, Tenant shall pay
          (i) $75.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for the first
          twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, $90.00 per month (plus any
          applicable sales tax) for months twenty-five (25) through sixty (60)
          of the Lease Term, and the parking charge (plus any applicable sales
          tax) then imposed by Landlord thereafter for the unreserved parking
          spaces in the Off-Site Garage, (ii) $125.00 per month (plus any
          applicable sales tax) for the first twenty-four (24) months of the
          Lease term, $135.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for
          months twenty-five (25) through sixty (60) of the Lease Term, and the
          parking charge (plus any applicable sales tax) then imposed by
          Landlord thereafter for the unreserved parking spaces in the On-Site
          Garage, and (iii) $225.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax)
          for the first twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, $235.00 per
          month (plus any applicable sales tax) for months twenty-five (25)
          through sixty (60) of the Lease Term, and the parking charge (plus any
          applicable sales tax) then imposed by Landlord thereafter for the
          reserved parking spaces in the On-Site Garage. Prior to issuance of
          the parking access cards, Tenant must deliver to Landlord a list of
          the automobile license numbers of Tenant's employees who will be using
          the cards, together with Landlord's then current per card deposit.
          This deposit is forfeited to Landlord if any card is lost or damaged
          or not returned to


                                                                         PAGE 42
<PAGE>   47

          Landlord on request and a new deposit must be delivered to Landlord
          before a replacement card is issued to Tenant.

     (b)  Except to the extent Tenant has exercised its option to lease reserved
          parking spaces as provided in Subparagraph (a) above, Tenant is not
          assigned designated parking spaces, but is permitted to use whatever
          unreserved stalls are available, on a first-come, first-served basis
          in areas of the parking garage designated from time to time by
          Landlord. If for any reason Landlord fails or is unable to provide
          parking spaces to Tenant or parking spaces in the parking garage are
          not available for use by Tenant Parties, this failure or inability is
          not a default by Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that
          Landlord shall not intentionally transfer the parking garages in a
          manner designed to terminate Tenant's parking rights. If parking
          spaces are not available to Tenant due to intentional acts of Landlord
          for more than 10 consecutive days, Landlord shall use reasonable
          efforts to make available to Tenant sufficient substitute unassigned
          parking spaces (in the amount of those spaces not available to Tenant)
          within a one-half (1/2) mile radius until such parking spaces are
          again available to Tenant.

     (c)  All Tenant Parties must comply with all traffic, security, safety, and
          other rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by the
          operator of the garage.

     (d)  During any renewal or extension of the Lease Term or during any
          holdover after the termination of this Lease, Landlord reserves the
          right to charge Tenant the parking charge (plus any applicable sales
          tax) then imposed by Landlord for parking at the Project.

     (e)  Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, Landlord has the right to
          terminate any of the Temporary Spaces at any time and from time to
          time, including without limitation, at times necessary or required for
          purposes of granting to new tenants of the Building rights to park in
          the Off-Site Garage.

54.  TENANT'S SERVICE PROVIDERS.

     Tenant shall cause all moving companies and other entities providing
     services to Tenant to deliver evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the
     insurance specified in EXHIBIT D is in force prior to entering the Project.

55.  SECURITY DISCLAIMER.

     ANY SECURITY MEASURES PROVIDED BY LANDLORD MAY NOT BE TREATED BY TENANT AS
     A GUARANTEE AGAINST CRIME. LANDLORD DOES NOT MAKE, AND TENANT WAIVES, ANY
     GUARANTY OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY AT THE
     PROJECT OR IN THE BUILDING,


                                                                         PAGE 43
<PAGE>   48

     OR THAT ANY SECURITY MEASURES WILL PREVENT OCCURRENCES OR CONSEQUENCES OF
     CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. ANY MECHANICAL SECURITY DEVICES CAN BE RENDERED
     INOPERATIVE AT ANY TIME. LANDLORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A TEMPORARY
     FAILURE OF SUCH DEVICES. IF SUCH DEVICES ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR, TENANT
     WAIVES ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD'S
     REPAIR OF SUCH DEVICES. LANDLORD'S INSTALLATION OR USE OF ANY SECURITY
     MEASURE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VOLUNTARY UNDERTAKING OR AGREEMENT BY
     LANDLORD TO PROVIDE SECURITY TO ANY TENANT PARTY. LANDLORD MAY MODIFY,
     REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE USE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT
     NOTICE TO TENANT. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR
     REPRESENTATIVES ARE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY DISRUPTION IN THE OPERATION
     OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE. LANDLORD DOES NOT MAKE, AND TENANT
     WAIVES, ANY GUARANTY OR WARRANTY THAT THE PRESENCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE
     AT THE PROJECT OR IN THE BUILDING IN ANY WAY INCREASES THE PERSONAL
     SECURITY OF ANY TENANT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTY. LANDLORD IS NOT LIABLE TO ANY
     TENANT PARTY FOR ANY INJURY, DAMAGE OR LOSS WHATSOEVER WHICH IS CAUSED (A)
     AS A RESULT OF ANY PROBLEM, DEFECT, MALFUNCTION OR THE FAILURE OF THE
     PERFORMANCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE OR (B) BY ANY PERSON ENGAGING IN
     CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

56.  INTENTIONALLY DELETED

57.  RELOCATION OF THE LEASED PREMISES.

     (a)  At any time during the Lease Term or any renewal or extension thereof,
          Landlord may relocate the Leased Premises within the Building by
          giving Tenant at least 30 days' prior notice, subject to the
          following:

          (1)  the premises being substituted for the Leased Premises (the
               SUBSTITUTE SPACE) may not be lower in the Building than Floor 14,
               must be in the same elevator bank as the Leased Premises, and
               must contain approximately the same number of Rentable Square
               Feet as the original Leased Premises; and

          (2)  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's actual out-of-pocket
               expenses for moving Tenant's furniture, equipment, supplies,
               telephones, and telephone equipment from the original Leased
               Premises to the Substitute Space within 30 days after receipt of
               a certified, itemized statement of those costs, together with
               paid invoices therefor.


                                                                         PAGE 44
<PAGE>   49

     (b)  Tenant may, at its option, elect either to accept possession of the
          Substitute Space in its "AS IS" condition on the effective date of the
          relocation or to require Landlord to remodel the Substitute Space in
          the same manner as the original Leased Premises were remodeled under
          the terms of EXHIBIT F. Tenant may exercise this option by giving
          notice to Landlord within 10 days after the date of the relocation
          notice from Landlord. If Landlord does not receive notice of Tenant's
          exercise of this option within the 10-day period, Tenant is deemed to
          elect to require remodeling in accordance with EXHIBIT F.

     (c)  The Substitute Space is substituted for the original Leased Premises
          and becomes the Leased Premises on the Relocation Effective Date
          (defined below) on the same terms as under this Lease, except that if
          the Substitute Space contains more Rentable Square Feet than the
          original Leased Premises, the Minimum Rent, Tenant's Electricity
          Percentage, and Tenant's Excess Operating Costs Percentage increase
          proportionately; provided, the Minimum Rent increase is limited to a
          maximum increase of 5% even if the Substitute Space is more than 5%
          larger than the original Leased Premises.

     (d)  The RELOCATION EFFECTIVE DATE is:

          (1)  the date specified in Landlord's relocation notice (which date
               may not be less than 90 days after the date, of the notice) if
               Tenant elects to take the Substitute Space as-is; or

          (2)  the date, Landlord substantially completes the remodeling of the
               Substitute Space, subject to the Tenant delay provisions of
               EXHIBIT F, if Tenant exercises or is deemed to exercise its
               option to cause Landlord to remodel the Substitute Space.

     (e)  Tenant shall move from the original Leased Premises into the
          Substitute Space and surrender possession of the original Leased
          Premises to Landlord no later than the Relocation Effective Date. If
          Tenant continues to occupy the original Leased Premises after the
          Relocation Effective Date, then, Tenant shall:

          (1)  pay Rent for both the original Leased Premises and the Substitute
               Space until Tenant surrenders the original Leased Premises to
               Landlord; and

          (2)  pay to Landlord on demand as additional Rent any damages that
               Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to timely
               surrender the original Leased Premises, including, but not
               limited, to attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord
               in enforcing Landlord's rights under this Paragraph, together
               with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand until
               repaid by Tenant.



                                                                         PAGE 45
<PAGE>   50

58.  LIMITATION OF ACTIONS.

     Any claim, demand, right, or defense of Tenant arising out of this Lease is
     barred unless Tenant commences an action or asserts an affirmative defense
     within 2 years after the date of the event giving rise to Tenant's claim,
     demand, right, or defense. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that
     Tenant has consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this
     Paragraph.

59.  EXECUTION AND APPROVAL OF LEASE.

     Employees and agents of Landlord and of Landlord's Broker have no authority
     to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in
     connection herewith. The submission of this Lease for examination and
     negotiation is not an offer to lease, agreement to reserve, or option to
     lease the Leased Premises. This Lease is effective and binding on Landlord
     only upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant.
     If Landlord's first mortgagee requires any modifications of the terms of
     this Lease as a condition to approving this Lease, other than a
     modification of the Minimum Rent, Tenant shall execute and deliver any
     required modifications within 10 days after receipt of Landlord's demand.

60.  RIGHT OF FIRST NOTICE.

     (a)  If during the Lease Term space on floor 15 of the Building (the FIRST
          NOTICE SPACE) is available for lease and Landlord receives an
          expression of interest in the First Notice Space from a prospective
          tenant, Landlord shall deliver a notice to Tenant offering to lease
          the First Notice Space to Tenant. Landlord's notice must specify the
          First Notice Rate (defined below). The term AVAILABLE FOR LEASE means
          that the First Notice Space is not then subject to any existing rights
          of third parties, including, without limitation, rights of first
          notice, expansion rights, extension rights, options to lease, or other
          rights.

     (b)  Tenant may elect to lease the First Notice Space by delivering a
          notice (the RESPONSE NOTICE) to Landlord within 5 days after the date
          of Landlord's notice specifying that Tenant elects either (1) to lease
          all, but not less than all, of the applicable First Notice Space
          offered or (2) to decline to lease the applicable First Notice Space
          offered.

     (c)  If (1) Landlord does not receive the Response Notice within the 5-day
          period or (2) in the Response Notice Tenant does not elect to lease
          all of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant is deemed to
          waive its right to lease the First Notice Space and Tenant has no
          further rights under this Paragraph, but Tenant shall have a
          continuing right of first notice with respect to the First Notice
          Space subsequently offered on terms materially different from those
          contained in Landlord's notice or if


                                                                         PAGE 46
<PAGE>   51

          Landlord does not enter into a binding commitment with the prospective
          tenant within 120 days after delivery of Landlord's notice to Tenant.

     (d)  If Tenant timely delivers a Response Notice electing to lease all of
          the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant's lease of the
          applicable First Notice Space commences on the earlier of the date
          that Tenant occupies such First Notice Space or the date 60 days after
          Landlord's receipt of the Response Notice and is on the same terms as
          this Lease except that the Rent and other applicable terms for the
          First Notice Space adjust based on the First Notice Rate. Landlord
          shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease adding
          the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms specified
          in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to
          Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and
          Landlord will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment
          executed by Landlord.

     (e)  Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant,
          and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice
          Space, if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give
          the Notice to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease.

     (f)  The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in
          Paragraph 61, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion,
          provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less
          than the Rent then being paid under this Lease.

     (g)  Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space to
          any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise
          this option.

61.  OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE TERM.

     (a)  If Tenant is not in default under this Lease at the time of the
          exercise of this option or at the commencement of the extended Lease
          Term, Tenant may extend the initial Lease Term for 2 extension terms
          of 5 years each commencing on the next day after the initial
          Expiration Date as to the first renewal term and on the next day after
          the expiration of the first renewal term as to the second renewal term
          by giving Landlord an extension notice at least 12 months, but not
          more than 15 months, prior to the (i) initial Expiration Date as to
          the first renewal option, and (ii) the expiration of the first renewal
          term as to the second renewal option. If Tenant timely gives a valid
          extension notice, the Lease Term is extended for 5 years upon the same
          terms as in the Lease, except that the Rent and other applicable terms
          adjust based on the Market Rate (defined below) and Tenant has no
          further option to extend the Lease Term after these option's are
          exercised.



                                                                         PAGE 47
<PAGE>   52

     (b)  Within 30 days after Landlord receives Tenant's extension notice,
          Landlord shall deliver a notice to Tenant specifying the Market Rate.
          If Tenant does not approve Landlord's designation of Market Rate, then
          Tenant, as its sole remedy, may revoke its exercise notice by
          delivering a revocation notice to Landlord within 30 days after
          Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice specifying the Market Rate, but
          otherwise Tenant may not revoke its extension notice. If Tenant gives
          a revocation notice, the Lease Term ends on the initial Expiration
          Date as to the first renewal option or the expiration of the first
          renewal term as to the second renewal option and Tenant has no further
          rights under this Paragraph.

     (c)  The term MARKET RATE means the Minimum Rent that Landlord quotes for
          space similar to the Leased Premises for a 5-year term commencing on
          the same date as the extension term, as determined by Landlord in its
          sole discretion; provided, the Rent components of the Market Rate will
          not be less than the Rent being paid under this Lease at the end of
          the Lease Term.

     (d)  Tenant may not assign this extension option to any assignee of the
          Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this extension
          option.

     (e)  If the Lease Term is extended under this Paragraph, Landlord shall
          prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will execute and deliver an amendment
          to the Lease extending the Lease Term within 30 days after Tenant's
          election to renew the Lease Term.

     This Lease is executed in multiple originals as of the date first above set
     forth.

         in such smoking area.

28.      No provision in the Lease or these Rules and Regulations should be

                     F/P/D Master Lease, Inc., as Landlord,

                                       and

                   Service Asset Management Company, as Tenant

                           TENANT FINISH CONSTRUCTION



1.       PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: Tenant and Landlord have approved complete
         plans and specifications (the CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS) for the
         construction of the tenant finish in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall
         pay the cost of the Construction Documents, provided that the Work
         Allowance, defined below, may be applied to the cost of the
         Construction Documents.

         All work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the Construction
         Documents is referred to as the TENANT FINISH WORK. Landlord shall not
         be deemed to represent and warrant that the Construction Documents
         comply with Applicable Laws and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
         is responsible for the Construction Documents and Tenant's business
         operations at the Leased Premises complying with Access Laws.

2.       TENANT FINISH WORK. Landlord shall construct or cause to be constructed
         the Tenant Finish Work in substantial accordance with the Construction
         Documents, subject to the Building Service Fee and Administrative Fee
         specified below. Tenant shall pay the Actual Cost (defined below) of
         all Tenant Finish Work in excess of $629,560 (the WORK ALLOWANCE). The
         Work Allowance may be applied to the cost of preparing the Construction
         Documents, relocation, installation of cabling, and space planning. The
         contractor Landlord selects to perform the Tenant Finish Work shall be
         selected by Landlord from at least three (3) qualified contractors who
         bid for such Tenant Finish Work. If the Actual Cost exceeds the Work
         Allowance, then Landlord agrees to pay up to $5.00 per rentable square
         foot contained in the Leased Premises, which additional sums shall be
         repaid by Tenant to Landlord by Minimum Rent being increased by an
         amount sufficient to fully amortize and pay such additional allowance
         together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum over the first 5
         years of the Lease Term.




                                      F-1

<PAGE>   112







         The term ACTUAL COST means the cost of all labor and materials and all
         hard and soft costs, together with the Building Service Fee of 2.5% of
         all hard costs, incurred by Landlord in performing the Tenant Finish
         Work or the Additional Work (defined below), as applicable.

         If prior to commencement of the Tenant Finish Work Landlord
         determines, based on construction bids received by Landlord, that the
         Actual Cost of the Tenant Finish Work will exceed the Work Allowance,
         Tenant shall pay the excess to Landlord. Landlord is not obligated to
         commence the Tenant Finish Work until it receives the excess payment
         from Tenant.

         If during construction the Actual Cost of the Tenant Finish Work
         exceeds the Work Allowance and all amounts previously paid by Tenant to
         Landlord prior to the commencement of construction, Landlord shall
         submit interim statements covering any excess costs incurred by
         Landlord under this Paragraph and Tenant shall pay the amount of the
         excess costs to Landlord.

         If the Actual Cost of the Tenant Finish Work is less than the Work
         Allowance (not increased by the $5.00 per rentable square foot
         additional allowance discussed above), such excess, not to exceed $2.00
         per rentable square foot, shall be credited against the first accruing
         Minimum Rent hereunder.

3.       ADDITIONAL WORK. If Landlord performs, at Tenant's request and upon
         submission by Tenant and approval by Landlord of necessary plans and
         specifications (as approved, the ADDITIONAL WORK PLANS), any work over
         and above the Tenant Finish Work (ADDITIONAL WORK), including any
         Additional Work approved by change order or work order, the Additional
         Work is at Tenant's expense, to which of any remaining balance of the
         Work Allowance may be applied. Landlord is not obligated to perform any
         Additional Work until Tenant pays Landlord the Actual Cost of the
         Additional Work, as estimated by Landlord. If the Actual Cost of the
         Additional Work exceeds the estimated amount paid by Tenant, Tenant
         shall pay the excess to Landlord.

         The Additional Work is not part of the Tenant Finish Work. If Landlord
         agrees to perform any Additional Work, Landlord shall request that its
         contractor estimate the additional amount of time that will be added to
         the completion of the Tenant Finish Work because of the Additional Work
         (the ADDITIONAL WORK PERIOD). This estimate is conclusive and binding
         on Landlord and Tenant for the purpose of establishing the Ready for
         Occupancy Date.

4.       DELAYS: If Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Tenant
         Finish Work or any Additional Work as a result of:


         (a)      Tenant's failure to promptly and timely furnish any
                  information required by Landlord;



                                      F-2


<PAGE>   113




         (b)      Tenant's delay in approving the Construction Documents or in
                  submitting any Additional Work Plans or in modifying the
                  Additional Work Plans as required by Landlord;

         (c)      Tenant's request for materials, finishes, or installations
                  other than Landlord's Building standard items or for long lead
                  items;

         (d)      Tenant's changes in the Construction Documents or any
                  Additional Work Plans;

         (e)      interference with Landlord's work by any Tenant Party; or

         (f)      Tenant does not timely obtain the approval, if required, of
                  the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation;

         then the Ready for Occupancy Date is accelerated by the number of days
         of Tenant delays.

5.       EARLY ENTRY: Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant and
         its contractors to enter the Leased Premises prior to the Ready for
         Occupancy Date, in order that Tenant may perform through its own
         contractor(s) (who must be approved by Landlord) other work and
         decorations Tenant wants in the Leased Premises while Landlord's
         contractors are working. This license to enter prior to the Ready for
         Occupancy Date is subject to the following conditions:

                  with Landlord's contractors and subcontractors; and

                  Tenant must deliver evidence to Landlord of compliance with
                  the requirements of Exhibit D.

         Landlord may revoke this license upon 48 hours' notice to Tenant if the
         entry causes disharmony or interference with the Tenant Finish Work or
         any Additional Work.

         Landlord Is not liable in any way for any injury, loss, or damage that
         occurs to any of Tenant's decorations or installations made prior to
         the Ready for Occupancy Date, the entry being solely at Tenant's risk.
         Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any
         claims, demands, actions, losses, and damages arising from activities
         of Tenant's contractors, workers, and mechanics.

6.       PROJECT ENGINEER: Tenant must use the fire alarm, mechanical,

8. Right of First Notice.

         (a) If during the Lease Term space on floor 20 of the Building (the
FIRST NOTICE SPACE) is available for lease and Landlord receives an expression
of interest in the First Notice Space from a prospective tenant, Landlord shall
deliver a notice to Tenant offering to lease the First Notice Space to Tenant
(subject to subparagraph (i) below). Landlord's notice must specify the First
Notice Rate (defined below). The term AVAILABLE FOR LEASE means that the First
Notice Space is not then subject to any existing rights of third parties,
including, without limitation, rights of first notice, expansion rights,
extension rights, options to lease, or other rights. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if during the Lease Term Landlord receives an expression of interest
in all or a part of floor 20 that also includes an expression of interest in all
or a part of any other floor from a prospective tenant, then Landlord shall not
be obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not
exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space in such case.

         (b) Tenant may elect to lease the First Notice Space by delivering a
notice (the RESPONSE NOTICE) to Landlord within 5 days after the date of
Landlord's notice specifying that Tenant elects either (1) to lease all, but not
less than all, of the applicable First Notice Space offered or (2) to decline to
lease the applicable First Notice Space offered.

         (c) If (l) Landlord does not receive the Response Notice within the
5-day period or (2) in the Response Notice Tenant does not elect to lease all of
the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant is deemed to waive its right
to lease the First Notice Space and Tenant has no further rights under this
Paragraph, but Tenant shall have a continuing right of first notice with respect
to the First Notice Space subsequently offered on terms materially different
from those contained in Landlord's notice or if Landlord does not enter into a
binding commitment with the prospective tenant within 120 days after delivery of
Landlord's notice to Tenant.

         (d) If Tenant timely delivers a Response Notice electing to lease all
of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant's lease of the applicable
First Notice Space commences on the earlier of the date that Tenant occupies
such First Notice Space or the date 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the
Response Notice and is on the same terms as the Lease except that the Rent and
other applicable terms for the First Notice Space adjust based on the First
Notice Rate. Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the
Lease adding the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms
specified in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to
Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and Landlord
will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment executed by Landlord.

         (e) Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to
Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space,
if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the Notice to
Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease.

         (f) The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in
Paragraph 60 of the Lease, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion,
provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less than the
Rent then being paid under the Lease.

<PAGE>   133


         (g) Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space
to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this
option.

9. Brokerage Commission.

         Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that no
commission is due and payable to any broker or other leasing agent in connection
with this Amendment as a result of its own dealings with any such broker or
leasing agent, except Trinity Advisory Group, Inc. ("Broker"), and Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against
all loss, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
suffered by the other party as a result of a breach of the foregoing
representation and warranty.

         Landlord has agreed to pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate
agreement between Broker and Landlord.

10. Acceptance of Expansion Space.

         Tenant's occupancy of the Expansion Space is conclusive evidence that
Tenant: (A) accepts the Expansion Space as suitable for the purposes for which
they are leased; (B) accepts the Expansion Space as being in a good and
satisfactory condition; and (C) waives any defects in the Expansion Space.

11. Full Force and Effect.

         In the event any of the terms of the Lease conflict with the terms of
this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control. The Lease remains in
full force and effect without any further amendments, alterations, or
modifications thereto, except as set forth herein, and Landlord and Tenant
expressly ratify and confirm the Lease as amended hereby. The Lease, as amended
by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto
and no further modification of the Lease shall be binding unless evidenced by an
agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Proportionate Share as recalculated shall be paid in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the Lease. The Base Year for the purpose of calculating
the Operating Costs shall remain calendar year 1998 and shall be applicable to
both the Expansion Space and the Existing Space.

8. Right of First Notice.

         (a) If during the Lease Term space on floor 20 of the Building (the
FIRST NOTICE SPACE) is available for lease and Landlord receives an expression
of interest in the First Notice Space from a prospective tenant, Landlord shall
deliver a notice to Tenant offering to lease the First Notice Space to Tenant
(subject to subparagraph (i) below). Landlord's notice must specify the First
Notice Rate (defined below). The term AVAILABLE FOR LEASE means that the First
Notice Space is not then subject to any existing rights of third parties,
including, without limitation, rights of first notice, expansion rights,
extension rights, options to lease, or other rights. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if during the Lease Term Landlord receives an expression of interest
in all or a part of floor 20 that also includes an expression of interest in all
or a part of any other floor from a prospective tenant, then Landlord shall not
be obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not
exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space in such case.

         (b) Tenant may elect to lease the First Notice Space by delivering a
notice (the RESPONSE NOTICE) to Landlord within 5 days after the date of
Landlord's notice specifying that Tenant elects either (1) to lease all, but
not less than all, of the applicable First Notice Space offered or (2) to
decline to lease the applicable First Notice Space offered.

         (c) If (1) Landlord does not receive the Response Notice within the
5-day period or (2) in the Response Notice Tenant does not elect to lease all of
the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant is deemed to waive its right
to lease the First Notice Space and Tenant has no further rights under this
Paragraph, but Tenant shall have a continuing right of first notice with respect
to the First Notice Space subsequently offered on terms materially different
from those contained in Landlord's notice or if Landlord does not enter into a
binding commitment with the prospective tenant within 120 days after delivery of
Landlord's notice to Tenant.

         (d) If Tenant timely delivers a Response Notice electing to lease all
of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant's lease of the applicable
First Notice Space commences on the earlier of the date that Tenant occupies
such First Notice Space or the date 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the
Response Notice and is on the same terms as the Lease except that the Rent and
other applicable terms for the First Notice Space adjust based on the First
Notice Rate. Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the
Lease adding the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms
specified in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to
Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and Landlord
will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment executed by Landlord.

         (e) Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to
Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space,
if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the Notice to
Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease.

         (f) The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in
Paragraph 60 of the Lease, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion,
provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less than the
Rent then being paid under the Lease.

         (g) Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space
to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this
option.

9. Brokerage Commission.

         Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that no
commission is due and payable to any broker or other leasing agent in connection
with this Amendment as a result of its own dealings with any such broker or
leasing agent, except Trinity Advisory Group, Inc. ("Broker"), and Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against
all loss, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
suffered by the other party as a result of a breach of the foregoing
representation and warranty.

10. Acceptance of Expansion Space.

         Tenant's occupancy of the Expansion Space is conclusive evidence that
Tenant: (A) accepts the Expansion Space as suitable for the purposes for which
they are leased; (B) accepts the Expansion Space as being in a good and
satisfactory condition; and (C) waives any defects in the Expansion Space.

11. Full Force and Effect.

         In the event any of the terms of the Lease conflict with the terms of
this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control. The Lease remains in
full force and effect without any further amendments, alterations, or
modifications thereto except as set forth herein, and Landlord and Tenant
expressly ratify and confirm the Lease as amended hereby. The Lease, as amended
by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto
and no further modification of the Lease shall be binding unless evidenced by an
agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
