                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

     The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Global MAINTECH, Inc.,
designs, develops and markets a computer system, consisting of hardware and
software, which monitors and controls diverse computers in a data center from a
single, master console. The Virtual Command Center ("VCC" or "VCC Unit") can
simultaneously manage mainframes, mid-range computers (e.g., UNIX, Microsoft and
Windows NT platforms) and networks. The VCC is designed to perform three primary
functions: (a) consolidate consoles (computer terminal with access to the
internal operation of a computer) into one monitor, a "virtual console" or
single point of control: (b) monitor and control the computers connected to the
virtual console; and (c) automate most, if not all, of the routine processes
performed by computer platforms and operating systems. It is an external system
that monitors and controls the subject mainframe and other data center computers
from a workstation-quality reduced instruction set computer ("RISC") which is
housed separately from the computers it controls. VCC users are able to reduce
staffing levels, consolidate all data center operations and technical support
functions to a single location regardless of the physical location of the data
center(s) and achieve improved levels of operational control and system
availability.

     In 1995, the Company installed it first three VCC Units in the data centers
of a large industrial and financial company. In 1996, the Company sold or leased
seven additional VCC Units and added two new customers. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company had sold or leased a cumulative total of twenty-one VCC Units to a
total of eight customers and had shipped four VCC Units for evaluation purposes
to three prospective customers. The Company's customers include: General
Electric Capital Corporation, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Storage
Technology Corporation, Systems Management Specialists, Inc., Ferntree Computer
Corp. (Australia), SAP America, Inc., Deluxe Corporation, Bank One Services
Corp., BMC Software, Frontier Information Technologies, Inc. and Merrill Lynch &
Co. Inc.

Systems Management Software

     The VCC competes with internal monitoring software, which monitors certain
pieces of hardware and software applications in the computer in which such
internal software is installed, sold by other companies. Annual sales of
systems-management software were estimated to be $3 billion as of November 1996.
It is believed this market will grow to almost $9 billion by 2000, which would
represent a compound annual growth rate of approximately 30%.

     The Company believes the VCC also is well suited for use in enterprise
computing applications. Enterprise computing is the term associated with the
hardware and software which enables computer that contain different processors
to be linked together. The VCC has its own proprietary software and hardware
which allow it to form an enterprise computing management system. The VCC can be
used to monitor and control desktops, mid-range servers and mainframes. Sales of
all such UNIX-based systems in 1995 were approximately $19 billion.

     The Company is engaged solely in the business of manufacturing and selling
VCC Units. This line of business generated all of the Company's revenue in 1996
and 1997. Certain of the revenues represent maintenance service revenue and 
consulting revenue from its customer base.

                                       2

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in
1985 under the name Computer Aided Time Share, Inc. In 1995, the Company changed
its name to Global MAINTECH Corporation. As of December 31, 1997 the Company had
no employees and its operating subsidiary, Global MAINTECH, Inc., had 26
employees.

Condition and Results of Operations -- Recent Developments."

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
   
         The Company's headquarters is located at 6468 City West Parkway, Eden
Prairie, MN 55344, with additional office space located at 6542 City West
Parkway, Suite 200, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. The leases for each of these
locations terminate on July 31, 1998. As of March 31, 1998 the Company entered 
into a new 20 month lease for 10,500 square feet at 7574 Market Place Drive,
Eden Prairie, MN 55344 with a term beginning August 1, 1998. The Company
anticipates consolidating its headquarters into this office space at such time.
In August 1996 the Company entered into an office lease with 1,545 square feet
at 17310 Redhill Avenue, Suite 115, Irvine, CA 92714 and has a smaller office at
599 N. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086. These leases provide for monthly
payments through July 31 and August 31, 1998, respectively and are used as sales
and technical development offices. The Company is responsible for utilities,
insurance, and other operating expenses at all locations.
    
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations

     The consolidated financial statements that accompany this discussion show
the operating results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996. These results include the operations of Global MAINTECH, Inc., the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary.

     Sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 were
approximately $3,003,000 compared to sales from continuing operations of
$2,130,000 in the year ended December 31, 1996. Sales of the Virtual Command
Center or VCC were approximately $2,138,000 in 1997 compared to approximately
$1,797,000 in 1996. Maintenance fees were approximately $702,000 in 1997 on
previously sold systems. Revenue in 1997 also included approximately $132,000 of
consulting revenue and $30,000 from sales of miscellaneous computer parts.
Revenue in 1996 related to maintenance, consulting, and other activities totaled
approximately $332,000. These revenue activities reflect the installation of a
cumulative total of 21 VCC units with eight customers compared to a cumulative
total of 10 VCC units with three customers in 1996. The gross margin on sales
was approximately 75% in 1997 compared to 71% in the year ended December 31,
1996. The increase in gross margin in 1997 is primarily related to the increase
in maintenance fees in 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative costs for the year ended December 31,
1997 were approximately $1,649,000 compared to approximately $962,000 for the
same period in the prior year. This $687,000 increase is related to a $235,000
increase in salary expense which reflects an increase in paid employees which
grew during the year from 16 to 26. Advertising, travel and entertainment costs
increased $134,000 and $97,000, respectively in the year ended 
1997 versus 1996. This reflects the increased activities in the business:
marketing and travel expenses are directly related to increased selling
activities. Nearly all the other "S,G&A" costs increased by amounts ranging from
$84,000 to $15,000 including professional and technical costs, depreciation
expense, and supplies, insurance, rent
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
and utilities costs. These increases are all primarily related to increased
business activities of the Company. Professional and technical expenses which
include legal, accounting and investor relations expenses increased due to
additional governance costs and a recovery of reserves which offset such
expenses in 1996. There were no new litigation expenses in either 1997 or 1996.
Depreciation expense increased as a function of the increase in equipment
purchases for new employees. Office and warehouse supplies, insurance, rent and
utilities all increased due to additional employees and additional offices.
Insurance expense in 1996 was also unusually low due to an insurance refund
received in 1996. Research and development expenses in 1997 and 1996 relate to
the ongoing maintenance of existing software and comprise salaries and
consulting fees for technical expertise. In 1997 this cost reflects fees paid of
nearly $100,000 to a technical search firm hired to find additional technical
employees.

     Non-operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 1997 consisted of
interest expense, interest income and amortization of deferred debt issue costs
indicated as "Other". In the last six months of 1997 interest expense includes
only the cost of the $2,000,000 of subordinated debt issued by the Company on
June 19, 1997. In the prior year interest expense represented the costs of the
Company's convertible subordinated debentures, notes payable to vendors, a bank,
and individuals, the principal amount of which totaled approximately $380,000 at
December 31, 1996. Interest income in 1997 is the result of short-term
investments of excess cash. Amortization ($44,294 annually on a straight-line
basis over five years) of deferred debt issue costs of $221,470 relates to the
issuance of $2,000,000 of subordinated debt.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1997
was approximately $302,000 compared to approximately $163,000 provided by such
activities in the year ended December 31, 1996. During the year ended December
31, 1997 operating funds of approximately $662,000 were provided by net income
prior to depreciation/amortization. This increase was more than offset by a use
of operating funds for assets including inventory, accounts receivable, and
prepaid expenses of approximately $760,000 and for short-term liabilities of
approximately $204,000.
   
     Cash used for investing activities in the year ended December 31, 1997 of
approximately $2,270,000 reflects investments of approximately $780,000 in
capitalized computer software development costs, which represent costs incurred
after technological feasibility has been established in connection with the
development of enhancements to one or more particular software programs, and
approximately $109,000 in software licenses and patent costs. Additionally, the
Company invested approximately $780,000 in sales-type leases covering the
Company's products, purchased approximately $362,000 of property and equipment
and invested approximately $163,000 in operating leases covering the Company's
products. The Company also invested $75,000 in a note receivable from a software
company due in 1998. In 1996 the Company invested approximately $473,000 in
capitalized computer software development costs, $107,000 in leased equipment,
$68,000 in patent costs and purchased $37,000 of property and equipment.
    
     Net cash of approximately $4,266,000 was provided by financing activities
in the year ended December 31, 1997. This is the result of net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of $2,768,000 primarily through two separate private
placements at per share prices of $0.75, $1.40, and a net issuance of long-term
notes payable of $2,000,000. These proceeds were partially offset by payments of
short-term notes payable of $320,000 and disbursements of approximately $212,000
for the issuance of new debt in the year ended December 31, 1997. In the year
ended December 31, 1996 cash was provided by financing activities of
approximately $516,000. This is the result of approximately $675,000 of proceeds
from the issuance of common stock offset by decreases in short-term and long-
term notes payable of approximately $159,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had positive working capital of
approximately $2,884,000 compared to negative working capital of approximately
$400,000 as of December 31, 1996. The positive working capital as of December
31, 1997 is primarily due to the issuance of common stock and five-year
subordinated debt and the Company's profitability during 1997. As of December
31, 1996, the Company was delinquent in principal payments of $283,000 of debt.
The Company resolved such delinquencies during 1997.

     Presently, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital to pay
its current liabilities. In addition to the proceeds received from the debt and
equity issuances discussed above, the Company believes its working capital will
continue to improve as the Company's profitability improves. This depends on the
Company's ability to collect its accounts receivable and to make sales
sufficient to realize the full value of its current inventory. Since the Company
has recently achieved gross margins of approximately 70% on its sales and has
not experienced any bad debts on its accounts receivable, management believes
the Company's financial health will continue to improve as additional sales are
realized. To that end, the Company has continued to purchase additional
inventory in anticipation of
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
additional sales. Such profitability also has improved the Company's access to
the capital markets. Nevertheless, the Company can provide no assurance as to
its continued profitability and access to the capital markets.

     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's liquidity and
capital resources were substantially improved. The Company's operating plan for
the year ending December 31, 1998 anticipates a substantial increase in sales
over the year ended December 31, 1997 with a commensurate increase in net
income. As a result this operating plan projects a significant increase in the
liquidity and capital resources of the Company. While the Company believes in
the viability of its operating plan and currently anticipates that its operating
plan will be achieved, there can be no assurances to that effect.

Year 2000 Issue

     The Company has analyzed the potential effect of the year 2000 issue on
both the system software included in the Company's equipment and on application
software licensed or purchased by the Company and used in its internal
operations. The Company has tested all of the system software included in its
products and determined that it will not be affected. In addition, the Company
has requested and received documentation from vendors supplying software for its
primary business application addressing year 2000 compliance. In all cases,
vendors responses indicated that their applications were either currently year
2000 compliant or that they would be compliant by the end of 1998, although the
Company has not independently tested these applications for compliance. Based on
this analysis, the Company does not anticipate a material cost associated with
its systems relative to the year 2000 issue.

Recent Developments

     On February 27, 1998 the Company purchased certain software and other
assets relating to the system software business of Infinite Graphics
Incorporated ("IGI"), a Minnesota corporation based in Minneapolis. The
acquisition will be recorded as an asset purchase. The acquisition agreement
provides for an initial payment of $500,000 and additional payments of up to
$3,500,000. The payment of up to $3,300,000 of this additional payment is
contingent on the future net income of this business segment and is determinable
as of May 31, 1999. In the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 the unaudited
revenue of IGI's software segment was $1,683,000 and the gross margin was 
$621,000.

     The acquired software and assets will be used by the Company to design,
assemble and market computer-aided design and manufacturing software systems
that operate on a variety of mid-range and personal computer platforms.
   
     Assets purchased in the acquisition include inventory, machinery and
equipment, furniture and fixtures, a perpetual exclusive software license of a
majority of the IGI software products used in the system software business and a
non-exclusive license of certain software used in IGI's remaining business
segment. IGI will reimburse the Company for the liabilities of IGI explicitly
assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition. The Company also
agreed to satisfy IGI's unrecorded service obligations to the software end users
in return for which the Company expects to receive support payments from such
end users.
       
     In addition, in February 1998 the Company began a 400,000 share private
placement of common stock at $1.90 per share and had issued 221,000 shares as
of March 23, 1998. Maven Securities, Inc. acted as the placement agent wherein
the Company agreed to pay the placement agent a 10% commission, a 3% fee for
expenses and to issue to such agent a warrant to purchase up to 10% of the
number of shares of common stock issued in connection with such offering at an
exercise price of $1.90 per share. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to
this issuance are exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS: Global MAINTECH, Inc., the Company's principal operating
subsidiary, produces and assembles a computer software and hardware product that
it sells as a console consolidation and console management solution to the
systems and network management marketplace primarily in the United States. The
product is called the Virtual Command Center ("VCC").

The VCC is a tool designed to do three functions: the first is to consolidate
consoles (computer terminals with access to the internal operation of a
computer) into one monitor, a "virtual console" or single point of control; the
second is to monitor and control the computers connected to the virtual console;
and, the third is to automate most, if not all, of the routine processes
performed by computer operators in data centers. The VCC can be operated from a
remote location and accepts multiple different computer platforms and operating
systems. It is an external system that monitors and controls the subject
mainframe and other data center computers from a workstation quality RISC
computer, which is housed separately from the computers it controls. VCC users
are able to reduce staffing levels, consolidate all data center operations and
technical support functions to a single location regardless of the physical
location of the data center(s) and achieve improved levels of operational
control and system availability.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Global MAINTECH Corporation and its operating subsidiary, Global
MAINTECH, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: Effective for 1997, the Company implemented SFAS 
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about 
Capital Structure. The effect of SFAS 128 is described below. SFAS 129 
incorporated several existing disclosure requirements on capital structure into 
a single accounting standard and had no effect on the Company's reporting.

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, is effective for the Company for
all periods reported after December 31, 1997. This standard prescribes a new way
of reporting and displaying the balances of and changes in certain equity
accounts. SFAS 130 does not affect the measurement or accounting for these
accounts. By its nature, SFAS 130 will, when implemented, have no effect on the
Company's reported operations or financial position. The Company is considering
alternative presentations to meet the new requirements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

INVENTORY: Inventory is stated on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis at the
lower of cost or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment is recorded at cost and comprised
primarily of computer and office equipment. Depreciation is provided for
principally using the double declining balance method, based on the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets which generally have lives of three years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenue from product sales is recognized upon the latter of
shipment or final acceptance. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company
receives customer payments before shipment or acceptance or before maintenance
revenues are earned. The Company sells maintenance agreements which require
minor updates of software to be delivered to the customers free of charge. New
versions of the Company's software representing a major upgrade are not a part
of the maintenance agreements. The Company expenses the costs of minor updates
to its software as incurred.

The Company recogizes revenue from leasing activities in accordance with SFAS
No. 13, Accounting for Leases. Accordingly, leases that transfer substantially
all the benefits and risks of ownership are accounted for as sales-type leases.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.

Under the sales-type method, profit is recognized at lease inception by
recording revenue and cost. Revenue consists of the present value of the future
minimum leae payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Cost
consists of the equipment's book value. The present value of the estimated value
of the equipment at lease termination (the residual value), which is generally 
not material, and the present value of the future minimum lease

                                       14

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payments are recorded as assets. In each period, interest income is recognized
as a percentage return on asset carrying values.

The Company is the lessor of equipment under operating leases expiring in
various years. The cost of equipment subject to such leases is recorded as
leased equipment and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
service life of the equipment. Operating lease revenue is recognized as earned
over the term of the underlying lease.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No.
86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the
establishment of technological feasibility of the software. The establishment of
technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of
these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain
external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross
product revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware
technology. Capitalized software development costs are amortized utilizing the
straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the software not to
exceed three years.

The carrying value of a software development asset is regularly reviewed by the
Company and a loss is recognized when the unamortized costs are not recoverable
based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software.

OTHER ASSETS: Other assets is comprised of patents, capitalized software license
fees, and capitalized debt issuance costs. Patents and capitalized software 
license fees are stated at costs and are amortized over three years or over the 
useful life of the license using the straight-line method. Capitalized debt 
issuances costs are stated at cost and are amortized over the term of the 
related debt agreement. Recorded amounts for patents and license fees are 
regularly reviewed and recoverability assessed. The review considers factors 
such as whether the amortization of these capitalized amounts can be recovered 
through forecasted undiscounted cash flows.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements 
under SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation. As
permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and
related interpretations in accounting for is plans. Accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: SFAS 128 Earnings per Share, became effective to the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and requires restatement of all
earnings per share amounts presented for prior periods. Under the new standard,
primary earnings per share will no longer be presented. Basic earnings per share
will represent earnings, reduced by any dividends on preferred stock, divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting
period. Diluted earnings per share (formerly called "fully diluted") will
represent earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus shares derived from other potentially dilutive
securities. For the Company, potentially dilutive securities include "in the
money" stock options and warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock
and the amount of common shares which would be added by conversion of the
outstanding convertible preferred stock. The number of shares added for stock
options and warrants is determined by the treasury stock method, which assumes
exercise of these securities and the use of any proceeds from these actions to
repurchase a portion of these shares at the average market price for the period.
When the results of continuing operations are a loss, other potentially dilutive
securities will not be included in the calculation of loss per share.

No adjustments to net income presented on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations were made in the determination of earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES: Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method for
temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.

FAIR VALUE OF INSTRUMENTS: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that
approximate estimated fair values.

USE OF ESTIMATES: Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts previously reported in 1996 have been 
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

NOTE 2.  RECOVERY FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATION

The Company's Board of Directors made the decision to discontinue that portion
of the operations which brokered and sold parts for IBM mainframe computers in
1995. Effective December 31, 1995 these operations were sold to Norcom
Resources, Inc. ("Norcom") for $123,000. A portion of the sale included a
$70,000 note receivable from Norcom which the Company treated as uncollectible.
However, in March 1997 the Company collected the full amount of such note
receivable and recorded a recovery related to the discontinued operation.

per year. Expenses associated with the original issuance of the unconverted
debentures were fully amortized as of July 1, 1996.

</TABLE>

The Company issued subordinated notes payable in the form of two $1,000,000
notes payable to Mezzanine Capital Partners, Inc. and Marquette Bancshares,
Inc., respectively. The interest rate of 14% is fixed for the term of the notes.
Aggregate installments of $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, $300,000, and $1,100,000
are due for the years 1998 through 2002, respectively. The notes are subject to
a 5% prepayment penalty through June 30, 1998 and 4% prepayment penalty from
July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999 and may be prepaid without penalty
thereafter. The Company incurred costs related to the issuance of this debt in
the amount of $221,470 which includes the estimated fair value of warrants to
purchase a total of 530,000 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share that were
issued in connection with the issuance of notes payable. These costs are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the five year term of such debt.

NOTE 8.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS: The Company issued warrants in 1997 in conjunction with
common stock issued pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum dated November
25, 1996. These warrants are exercisable at $0.75 per share and expire on
February 28, 2002. During 1997 the Company also issued warrants pursuant to a
subsequent private placement of common stock in June 1997, which are exercisable
at $1.40 and expire on June 6, 2002. An additional 530,000 warrants were issued
in 1997, which are exercisable at a per share price of $1.80 and expire in the
year 2002. These warrants were issued in connection with the $2,000,000 of
subordinated debt issued in June 1997. The total warrants outstanding as of
December 31, 1997 was 1,724,298. Such warrants are exercisable at a weighted
average price of $1.94 per share and expire in 2000 through 2004.

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS: The Company's stock option plan ("Plan"), provides for
granting to the Company's employees, directors and consultants, qualified
incentive and nonqualified options to purchase common shares of stock. The Plan
was amended during 1995 to increase the number of aggregate options that can be
issued to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10,000,000 shares of common stock. Qualified incentive options must be granted
with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant. Nonqualified options must be granted with exercise prices equal to at
least 85% percent of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.

The Company applies APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. As a result no
compensation expense has been recognized for stock-based compensation plans. Had
the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant
date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of
Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced by approximately $18,000 in 1997 and by an immaterial amount
in 1996. The Company made this calculation using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 113%, risk-free
interest rate of 5.5%, and an expected life of 5 years.

This pro-forma effect does not include the compensation cost of stock options
currently issued but which do not vest until future years nor does it include
the compensation cost of stock options issued prior to 1995. Therefore, the full
impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is
not reflected in the pro-forma net income amounts presented above.

Information with respect to stock options under the plan are summarized as
follows:

approximately $3.3 million. The net operating loss carryforward will be subject
to an annual limitation as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
of approximately $200,000.

NOTE 10. OPERATING LEASES

COMPANY AS LESSOR: The Company leases equipment, primarily VCC units, under 
noncancelable operating leases expiring in various years. The cost of equipment 
subject to such leases is recorded as leased equipment.

The operating lease payment stream related to leases initiated in 1996 was
assigned to a third party, on a non-recourse basis, for a lump sum payment to
the Company in 1996. The present value of the cash received was recorded as
deferred revenue and is being recognized into revenue over the term of the
underlying leases. These underlying leases terminate in 1997 and 1998. Deferred
revenue recorded by the Company related to these leases as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $20,000 and $116,000, respectively. Future minimum
lease payments to be received for operating leases in which the payment stream
has not been assigned to a third party are $15,192, $15,192 and $11,224 for
1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively.

COMPANY AS LESSEE: The Company has operating leases for certain development
related IBM computers, office equipment and its office premises. The rental
payments under these leases are charged to expense as incurred. All the leases
provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating
expenses applicable to the leases. Lease expense in 1997 and 1996 was
approximately $112,000 and $103,000, respectively. The future minimum lease
payments are approximately $94,000, $22,000 and $2,000 for the years 1998, 1999
and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 27, 1998 the Company purchased certain software and other assets
relating to the system software business of Infinite Graphics Incorporated
("IGI"), a Minnesota corporation based in Minneapolis. The acquisition will be
recorded as an asset purchase. The acquisition agreement provides for an initial
payment of $500,000 and additional payments of up to $3,500,000. The payment of
up to $3,300,000 of this additional payment is contingent on the future net
income of this business segment and is determinable as of May 31, 1999. In the
twelve months ended December 31, 1997 the unaudited revenue of IGI's software
segment was $1,683,000 and the gross margin was $621,000.

The acquired software and assets will be used by the Company to design, assemble
and market computer-aided design and manufacturing software systems that operate
on a variety of mid-range and personal computer platforms. Assets purchased in
the acquisition include inventory, machinery and equipment, furniture and
fixtures, a perpetual exclusive software license of a majority of the IGI
software products used in the system software business and a non-exclusive

license of certain software used in IGI's remaining business segment. IGI will
reimburse the Company for the liabilities of IGI explicitly assumed by the
Company in connection with the acquisition. The Company also agreed to satisfy
IGI's unrecorded service obligations to the software end users in return for
which the Company expects to receive support payments from such end users.

In addition, in February 1998 the Company began a 400,000 share private
placement of common stock at $1.90 per share and had issued 221,000 shares as of
March 23, 1998. Maven Securities, Inc. acted as the placement agent wherein the
Company agreed to pay the placement agent a 10% commission, a 3% fee for
expenses and to issue to such agent a warrant to purchase up to 10% of the
number of shares of common stock issued in connection with such offering at an
exercise price of $1.90 per share. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to
this issuance are exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     7.  The Lease is hereby modified and amended to include the following:

         Telecommunications.
         ------------------

         (a)  Telecommunications Companies. Tenant and Tenant's 
              ---------------------------- 
telecommunications companies, including but not limited to local exchange 
telecommunications companies and alternative access vendor services companies 
("Telecommunications Companies"), shall have no right of access to and within 
the lands or Buildings comprising Landlord's real property for the installation 
and operation of telecommunications systems including but not limited to voice, 
video, data, and any other telecommunications services provided over wire, fiber
optic, microwave, wireless and any other transmission systems, for part or all 
of Tenant's telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any 
other location (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Telecommunications 
Systems"), without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold
in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may 
perform any installation, repair and maintenance to its Telecommunications 
Systems without Landlord's consent where the equipment being installed, repaired
or maintained is not located in an area in which the Telecommunications Systems 
or any part thereof of any other tenant or of Landlord are located.

     (b)  Tenant's Obligations. If at any time, Tenant's Telecommunications 
Companies or appropriate governmental authorities relocate the point of 
demarcation from the location of Tenant's telecommunications equipment in 
Tenant's telephone equipment room or other location, to some other point, or in


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     any other manner transfer any obligations or liabilities for
     telecommunications to Landlord or Tenant, whether by operation of law or
     otherwise, upon Landlord's election, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense
     and cost: (1) within thirty (30) days after notice is first given to Tenant
     of Landlord's election, cause to be completed by an appropriate
     telecommunications engineering entity approved in advance in writing by
     Landlord, all details of the Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in
     the Building which details shall include all appropriate plans, schematics,
     and specifications; and (2) immediately undertake the operations, repair
     and maintenance of the Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in the
     Building; and (3) upon the termination of the Lease for any reason, or upon
     expiration of the Lease, immediately effect the complete removal of all or
     any portion or portions of the Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in
     the Building and repair any damage caused thereby (to Landlord's reasonable
     satisfaction).

          Prior to the commencement of any alterations, additions, or
     modifications to the Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in the
     Building, except for minor changes, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's
     prior written consent by written request accompanied by detailed plans,
     schematics, and specifications showing all alterations, additions and
     modifications to be performed, with the time schedule for completion of the
     work, and the identity of the entity which will perform the work, for
     which, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph (c) below, Landlord may
     withhold consent in its sole and absolute discretion.

          (c) Landlord's Consent. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right
              ------------------
     to withhold its consent to a proposed request for access, or for
     alterations, additions or modifications of the Telecommunications Systems
     serving Tenant in the Building, Landlord shall consider the following
     factors in making its determination:

               i. If the proposed actions of Tenant and its Telecommunications
          Companies will impose new obligations on Landlord, or expose Landlord
          to liability of any nature or description, or increase Landlord's
          insurance premiums for the Building, or create liabilities for which
          Landlord is unable to obtain insurance protection, or imperil
          Landlord's insurance coverage;

               ii. If Tenant's Telecommunications Companies are unwilling to pay
          reasonable monetary compensation for the use and occupation of the
          Building for the Telecommunications Systems;

               iii. If Tenant and its Telecommunications Companies would cause
          any work to be performed that would adversely affect the land and
          Building or any space in the Building in any manner;

               iv.  If Tenant encumbers or mortgages its interest in any 
          telecommunications wiring or cabling; or

               v.   If Tenant is in default under this Lease.

          (d) Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
              ---------------
     and its employees, agents, officers, and directors from and against any
     claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages,
     costs, or expenses of any kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or
     otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to the acts and omissions
     of Tenant, Tenant's officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors,
     subcontractors, subtenants, and invitees with respect to (1) any
     Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in the Building which are on,
     from, or affecting the land and Building; (2) any personal injury
     (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising
     out

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     of or related to any Telecommunications Systems serving Tenant in the
     Building which are on, from, or affecting the Building; (3) any lawsuit
     brought or threatened, settlement reached, or governmental order relating
     to such Telecommunications Systems; (4) any violations of laws, orders,
     regulations, requirements, or demands of governmental authorities, or any
     reasonable policies or requirements of Landlord, which are based upon or in
     any way related to such Telecommunications Systems, including, without
     limitation, attorney and consultant fees, court costs, and litigation
     expenses. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement will survive
     this Lease. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to maintain,
     repair or replace any Building systems or any portions thereof, when such
     maintenance, repair or replacement is caused in whole or in part by the
     failure of any such system or any portions thereof, and/or the requirements
     of any governmental authorities. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be
     liable for interruption in telecommunications services to Tenant or any
     other entity affected, for electrical spikes or surges, or for any other
     cause whatsoever, whether by Act of God or otherwise, even if the same is
     caused by the ordinary negligence of Landlord, Landlord's contractors,
     subcontractors, or agents or other tenants, subtenants, or their
     contractors, subcontractors, or agents.

     8.  All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force 
and effect.

     This First Amendment modifies and amends the Lease. To the extent there are
any inconsistencies between this First Amendment and the Lease, the terms and 
provisions of this First Amendment shall control.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this First Amendment 
to Lease as of the date first above written.

4.   DELIVERY OF POSSESSION.

If for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant
on the Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by an act or omission 
of Tenant, the Expiration Date shall be extended by the number of days the 
Commencement Date has been delayed and the validity of this Lease shall not be 
impaired nor shall Landlord be subject to any liability for such failure; but 
Rent shall be abated until delivery of possession. Provided, however, if the 
Commencement Date has been delayed by an act or omission of Tenant then Rent 
shall not be abated until delivery of possession and the Expiration Date shall 
not be extended. Delivery of possession shall be deemed to occur on the date 
Landlord receives a Certificate of Occupancy or upon substantial completion of 
the Premises, as certified by Landlord's architect. If Landlord permits Tenant 
to enter into possession of the Premises before the Commencement Date, such 
possession shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease, including, without 
limitation, the payment of Rent.

Within ten (10) days of delivery of possession Landlord shall deliver to Tenant 
and Tenant shall execute an Acceptance of Premises in which Tenant shall 
certify, among other things, that (a) Landlord has satisfactorily completed 
Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", unless written 
exception is set forth thereon, and (b) that Tenant accepts the Premises. 
Tenant's failure to execute and deliver the Acceptance of Premises shall be 
conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Landlord has satisfactorily 
completed Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D".

In the event Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises following execution
of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all 
costs incurred by Landlord in connection with entering into this Lease 
including, but not limited to, broker fees and commissions, sums paid for the 
preparation of a floor and/or space plan for the Premises, costs incurred in 
performing Landlord's Work pursuant to Exhibit "D", loss of rental income, 
attorneys' fees and costs, and any other damages for breach of this Lease 
established by Landlord.


5.   INTENDED USE OF THE PREMISES.

The statement in this Lease of the nature of the business to be conducted by 
Tenant in the Premises does not constitute a representation or guaranty by the 
Landlord as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct
of such business in the Premises, or that it is lawful or permissible under the 
certificate of occupancy issued for the Building, or is otherwise permitted by 
law. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as
against Tenant, that, at the time such possession was taken, the Premises were 
satisfactory for Tenant's intended use.

          other tenant of the Building or Project; (z) repairs covered by
          proceeds of insurance or from funds provided by Tenant or any other
          tenant of the Building or Project.

                  6.3.1.2.  Real Property Taxes. As used herein, the term Real 
                            -------------------
          Property Taxes shall include every form of tax (other than general net
          income or estate taxes of Landlord), charge, levy, assessment, fee,
          license fee, service fee (including, without limitation, those based
          on commercial rentals, energy or environmental grounds as well as any
          increase due to reassessment or escape assessment whether caused by
          sale or lease of the Premises, Building or Project or otherwise),
          ordinary or extraordinary, imposed by any authority having direct or
          indirect power to tax, including, without limitation, any city,
          county, state or federal government or quasi-government entity or any
          improvement utility, beautification or similar district against any
          legal or equitable interest of Landlord in, or against Landlord's
          right to rent, the Premises or the Building, and any such tax, charge,
          levy, assessment or fee imposed, in addition to or in substitution for
          any tax previously included within the definition of real property
          tax, partially or totally, whether or not foreseeable or now within
          the contemplation of the parties provided that all separately
          identifiable real property taxes attributable solely to Tenant's
          business or Tenant's improvements which are valued at an amount in
          excess of the Building standard improvements, shall be paid entirely
          by Tenant, and not prorated with other tenants of the Building or
          Project. Tenant's obligation to pay its share of the assessments, as
          provided in this Section 6.3.1.2., shall be calculated on the basis of
          the amount due if Landlord allows the assessments to go to bond, and
          the assessment is to be paid in installments, even if Landlord pays
          the assessment in full. Real Property Taxes for each tax year shall be
          apportioned to determine the Real Property Taxes for the subject
          calendar years.

                  6.3.1.3.  Insurance Costs. The term Insurance Costs shall mean
                            ---------------
          all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord to obtain and keep
          in force during the Term of this Lease policies of insurance
          providing coverage for (a) public liability; (b) loss of or damage to
          the Building or Project in such amount or percentage of replacement
          value as Landlord or its insurance advisor deems

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
          reasonable in relation to the age, location, type of construction and
          physical condition of the Building or Project and the availability of
          such insurance at reasonable rates; and (c) loss of rental income for
          a period of one year, which insurance shall also cover all Real
          Property Taxes and Insurance Costs for the same period. Such policies
          shall provide protection against all perils included with the
          classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
          mischief, special perils (all risk) sprinkler leakage, and other
          perils which Landlord deems necessary.
 
          6.3.2.  Determination and Payment of Operating Expenses. Real Property
                  --------------------------------------------------------------
     Taxes and Insurance Costs. Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
     -------------------------
     Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Insurance Costs shall be paid as follows:
 
               6.3.2.1.  Monthly Estimate. On or before the last day of each
                         ----------------
          December during the Term of the Lease or any extended period thereof,
          Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement showing in
          reasonable detail Landlord's projected Direct Costs for the ensuing
          calendar year. During the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay
          Tenant's Proportionate Share of estimated Direct Costs in advance in
          equal monthly installments pursuant to the same provisions as Monthly
          Installments of Base Rent. If during the course of the calendar year
          Landlord determines that actual Direct Costs will vary from its
          estimate by more then five percent (5%), Landlord may deliver to
          Tenant a written statement showing Landlord's revised estimate of
          Direct Costs; whereupon payments of Tenant's Proportionate Share of
          estimated Direct Costs shall be adjusted and thereafter paid on the
          basis of Landlord's revised estimate.
 
               6.3.2.2. Annual Reconciliation. On or before the first day of
                        ---------------------
          each April during the Term of this Lease or any extended period
          thereof, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of
          reconciliation (Reconciliation) showing in reasonable detail
          Landlord's actual Direct Costs for the preceding calendar year. In the
          event such Reconciliation shows that additional sums are due from
          Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to Landlord within ten (10) days of
          receipt of such Reconciliation to the end that Landlord shall receive
          the entire amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for
          the preceding year and no more. In the event such Reconciliation shows
          that a credit is due Tenant, such credit shall be credited against the
          next sums becoming due from Tenant, unless this Lease has expired or
          been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof (and all sums due
          Landlord have been paid), in which event such sums shall be refunded
          to Tenant. Neither Landlord's failure to deliver nor late delivery of
          the statement of projected Direct Costs nor of such Reconciliation to
          Tenant shall constitute a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver
          of Landlord's right to collect all Additional Rent or sums due
          hereunder. Tenant agrees that no written request of such
          Reconciliation shall be made until the Reconciliation for such period
          shall be due.
 
               6.3.2.3. Tenant's Inspection of Reconciliation Accounting
                        ------------------------------------------------
          Records. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of the
          -------
          Lease and following prior written request to Landlord, Tenant shall
          have the right to inspect Landlord's reconciliation accounting records
          relating to Direct Costs at Landlord's corporate office, during normal
          business hours, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any annual
          Reconciliation of Direct Costs, for the purpose of verifying the
          charges contained in such statement. Tenant may not withhold any
          payment due Landlord pending completion of such inspection.
 
     6.4. Taxes on Tenant's Use and Occupancy. In addition to the Rent and any 
          -----------------------------------
other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord 
upon demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income 
taxes) which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not 
now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are 
upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of 
Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in 
the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to 
the Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Tenant Improvements 
made by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by 
Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, 
including, without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any 
taxing authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the 
possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use
or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this 
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring 
an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to 
reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under Section 6., the Base Rent 
shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax 
or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the
reimbursement being unlawful.
 
     6.5. Net Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Lease 
          ---------
shall be completely net to Landlord and shall not be terminable for any reason 
by Tenant, and that Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of or 
reduction in Rent or other amounts hereunder, except as herein expressly 
provided regardless of disturbance, prevention,
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
interruption or inconvenience in the use and occupancy of the Premises from any 
cause whatsoever, whether within or beyond the present contemplations of the 
parties. With respect to the foregoing, any present or future law to the 
contrary is hereby waived by Tenant, and shall not alter this agreement of the 
parties.


7.   INTEREST AND LATE CHARGES.

If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or Additional Rent or other amounts or 
charges which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, then 
Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such 
installment if any such installment is not received by Landlord within five (5) 
days from the date it is due. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any 
Rent or Additional Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and 
incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease including, without 
limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting 
expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. 
Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate
of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss 
suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such nonpayment by 
Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies 
available to Landlord under this Lease. If tenant vacates the premises in 
default of the lease, Tenant shall be obligated to pay interest at the maximum 
applicable rate then allowed by law on any unpaid monies from the date the 
monies became due until payment is received by Landlord. Late charges and
interest shall be deemed Additional Recent and are included collectively in the
term Rent.

In no event shall this provision for the imposition of a late charge be deemed
to grant to Tenant a grace period or an extension of time within which to pay
any Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder or prevent Landlord from exercising
any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay such Rent
or Additional Rent when due.


8.   SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth in Section
2.15. upon execution of this Lease as security for Tenant's faithful 
performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that 
the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall
have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Tenant 
shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without 
the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall 
be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon the Landlord.

If Tenant fail to pay any Rent or other amount when due and payable under this 
Lease, or fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may, at its option 
and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account 
thereof, appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit
for Rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any 
amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant's default 
or breach, and for any loss or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of 
Tenant's default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, 
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the 
Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited. Tenant's failure to do
so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the 
right to exercise any remedy provided for at Section 19. hereof.

If Tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and 
Tenant is not in default on any of its obligations hereunder, then within the 
time period statutorily prescribed after Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord 
shall return to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last subtenant or 
assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) the Security Deposit less any 
expenditures made by Landlord to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant
and to clean the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, 
such Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent
and other sums due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such 
proceedings.


9.   TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES.

The provisions of this Section are for the benefit of the Landlord and are not 
nor shall they be construed to be for the benefit of any tenant of the Building 
or Project.

or governmental regulation, rule or requirement in the use of the Premises shall
be conclusive of the fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

           ---------
will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or other

therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and 
recommendations of Landlord's insurance carrier(s) or any board of fire 
insurance underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted,

unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit
any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to
be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
 
     9.5.  Load and Equipment Limits. Tenant shall not place a load upon any 
           -------------------------

engineer in connection with Tenant's occupancy shall be paid by Tenant upon 
Landlord's demand. Tenant shall not install business machines or mechanical 
equipment which will in any manner cause noise objectionable to or injure other 
tenants in the Project.

     ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or extraction procedure toxicity, or
     (b) which is listed on any applicable federal, state or local law, rule,
     regulation or ordinance, or (c) which has been determined by any state,
     federal or local governmental or public authority or agency to be capable
     of posing a risk of injury to health, safety or property.
 
          9.6.2. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any
     claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord
     arising from such bringing, allowing, using, permitting, generating,
     creating, emitting or disposing of Hazardous Material whether or not
     consent to same has been granted by Landlord. Tenant's indemnification and
     hold harmless obligations include, without limitation (a) claims,
     liability, costs or expenses resulting from or based upon administrative,
     judicial (civil or criminal) or other action, legal or equitable, brought

     termination of this Lease.
 
          9.6.3. Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of any permit 
     applications and/or permits issued by any governmental agency concerning

     allow, use, permit, generate, create, emit or dispose Hazardous Material as
     set forth in Section 9.6.1. above (a) Tenant shall provide to Landlord on
     an annual basis a report from a
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     person who is, to Landlord's satisfaction, appropriately qualified or
     licensed as an expert in the field of hazardous materials laws compliance
     matters, certifying that Tenant is complying with all applicable
     governmental statues and regulations concerning Hazardous Material, and

     satisfactory to Landlord that tests prove there was existing contamination
     by such Hazardous Material (which was not the result of acts or omissions
     of Tenant) or if Tenant fails to provide such proof it shall be

     contamination. The posting of the bond does not relieve Tenant from
     fulfilling its responsibility to clean up the contamination. After the
     contamination has been cleaned up and certified, as set forth above, the
     bond or other adequate security shall be returned to Tenant.

     9.7. Use of Common Area. Tenant is hereby granted, for so long as it is 
          ------------------
not in default hereunder, a non-exclusive license to use in common with other

the Building which are designated from time to time for the general use, benefit
or convenience of Tenant and the other tenants or occupants of the Building or 
Project or their employees, customers, authorized representatives or invitees.

handling charge, payable upon demand with interest from the date such sums are
extended at the rate set forth in Section 7. hereof. Tenant shall have the right

Section 12. hereof), and (b) trade fixtures, merchandise and other personal
property from time to time in, on or about the Premises, in an amount not less
than one hundred percent (100%) of their actual replacement cost from time to
time, providing protection against any peril included with the classification

all risk endorsements subject to the standard exclusions among which are
earthquake and flood. The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the
repair or replacement of the property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease
following a casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds under (a) shall be paid
to Landlord, and the proceeds under (b) about shall be paid to Tenant. Landlord

Premises, providing personal injury and broad form property damage coverage of 
not less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single 
limit for bodily injury, death and property damage liability. Landlord shall, 
during the term hereof, maintain in effect similar insurance coverage on the 
Common Area.


        15.4. Increases in Insurance Policy Limits. Not less than every five (5)
              ------------------------------------
years, if, in the opinion of Landlord or Landlord's lender, the amount of 
Tenant's insurance policy limits for all insurance to be carried by Tenant as 
set forth in this Section 15. is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the 
insurance coverage as recommended by either Landlord or Landlord's lender.


        15.5. Worker's Compensation Insurance. Beginning on the date Tenant is 
              -------------------------------
given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until expiration of 
the Term, Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain in effect worker's 
compensation insurance as required by law.


        15.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all 
              ---------------------
rights of recovery against the other and against the officers, employees, agents
and representatives, contractors, and invites of the other, on account of loss 
by or damage to the waiving party or its property or the property of others 
under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against 
under any insurance policy which may have been in force at the time of such loss
or damage. Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under
this Lease, give written notice to its insurance carrier or carriers that the 
foregoing


                                      11

is issued by the governing authority, (b) insurance proceeds are available to 
pay eighty percent (80%) or more of the cost of restoration, and (c) Tenant

Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not
the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents,
employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall be entitled to a 
proportionate reduction of Rent to the extent Tenant's use of the Premises is 
impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until completion of 
the repairs required of Landlord under Section 16.4. If the damage is due to the
fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of 
Rent.

     16.2.  Repair of Premises in Excess of One Hundred Eighty Days. If in 
            -------------------------------------------------------
Landlord's opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building 
necessary for Tenant's occupancy cannot be completed under applicable laws and 
regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such 
construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect, upon

given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to

effect, but the Base Rent shall be partially abated as provided in Section 
16.1. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall 
terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.
 
     16.4.  Tenant Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Section
            -------------
16., Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and 
Building Standard Tenant Improvements, if any. Notwithstanding anything 
contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform 
work other than Landlord's Work performed previously pursuant to Section 12.1. 
hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair,
restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant's 
Property. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business, inconvenience 
or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the 
Premises, Building or Project as a result of any damage from fire or other 
casualty.
 
     16.5.  Election Not to Perform Landlord's Work. Notwithstanding anything to

Premises. Such election shall not result in a termination of this Lease and all 
obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, including
the obligation to pay Rent.

            -----------------

<PAGE>
 
to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days

taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient for 
Tenant to continue operation of its business, and (b) Landlord shall have the 
right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days 
after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant so elects to

settlement from the condemning authority; however, Tenant shall have the right, 
to the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from 
the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be 
recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to 
Tenant's Property and damage to Leasehold Improvements installed at the sole 
expense of Tenant.

     17.4.  Landlord's Restoration. In the event of a partial taking of the 
            ----------------------
Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall 
restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its 
condition prior to the condemnation or taking; provided however, Landlord shall 
not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord's Work performed previously
pursuant to Section 12.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost 
and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of Tenant's Property and
any other Leasehold Improvements.

18.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall
be permitted, except as provided in this Section 18.

     18.1.  No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior 
            ---------------------------
written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest 
herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the 
Premises by any party other than Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts without such 
consent shall be voidable and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a 
default hereunder. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant 
herein, be assignable by operation of law without the prior written consent of 
Landlord.

          18.1.1. For purposes of this Section 18., the following shall be
     deemed an assignment:

               18.1.1.1. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or 
          substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law,
          and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any
          partner(s) owning twenty-five (25%) or more (cumulatively) of any
          interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the
          dissolution of the partnership.

               18.1.1.2. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, 
          consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, any sale or transfer
          (or cumulative sales or transfers) of the capital stock of Tenant in
          excess of twenty-five (25%), or any sale (or cumulative sales) of
          fifty-one (51%) or more of the value of the assets of Tenant provided,
          however, the foregoing shall not apply to corporations the capital
          stock of which is publicly traded.

     18.2.  Landlord's Consent. If, at any time or from time to time during the 
            ------------------
Term hereof, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of 
the Premises and Tenant is not in default under the term of the Lease, Tenant 
shall submit to Landlord a written request for approval setting forth the terms 
and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease and the identity of the 
proposed assignee or subtenant. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such 
information concerning the business background and financial condition of such 
proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord 
shall have the right to approve such proposed assignee or subtenant, which 
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord's consent to any 
assignment shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent assignment, 
subletting, transfer of partnership interest or stock, occupancy or use.

          18.2.1. Landlord's approval shall be conditioned, among other things, 
     on Landlord's receiving adequate assurances of future performance under
     this Lease and any sublease or assignment. In determining the adequacy of
     such assurances, Landlord may base its decision on such factors as it deems
     appropriate, including but not limited to:

               18.2.1.1. that the source of rent and other consideration due 
          under this Lease, and, in the case of assignment, that the financial
          condition and operating


                                      13


<PAGE>
 
          performance of the proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall
          be similar to the financial condition and operating performance of
          Tenant and its guarantors, if any, as of the time Tenant became the
          lessee under this Lease;

               18.2.1.2. that any assumption or assignment of this Lease will 
          not result in increased cost or expense, wear and tear, greater
          traffic or demand for services and utilities provide by Landlord
          pursuant to Section 10. hereof and will not disturb or be detrimental
          to other tenants of Landlord;

               18.2.1.3. whether the proposed assignee's use of the Premises 
          will include the use of Hazardous Material, or will in any way
          increase any risk to Landlord relating to Hazardous Material; and

               18.2.1.4. that assumption or assignment of such lease will not 
          disrupt any tenant mix or balance in the Project.

          18.2.2.  The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms and 
     conditions set forth in the written request for approval given to Landlord,
     or, if different, upon terms and conditions consented to by Landlord;

          18.2.3.  No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or 
     sublessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until
     an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered
     to Landlord;

          18.2.4.  No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to assign
     or sublet except on the terms herein contained;

          18.2.5.  Any sums or other economic considerations received by Tenant 
     as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under the
     assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate (a) the total sums
     which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to
     reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased),
     plus (b) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable to third
     parties in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall be shared
     equally by Tenant and Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease without
     effecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.

     18.3.  Tenant Remains Responsible. No subletting or assignment shall 
            --------------------------
release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary 
liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be 
performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. 
Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any 
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or 
subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the 
terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity
of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord 
may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings or amendments 
or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying 
Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent 
thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this 
Lease.

     18.4.  Payment of Fees. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises
            ---------------
or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting, then Tenant
shall, upon demand, pay Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, an
administrative free of Two Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($250.00) plus costs
and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with each such act or 
request.

19.  DEFAULT.

     19.1.  Tenant's Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
            ----------------
events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

          19.1.1. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises; or

          19.1.2. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent or any 
     other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such
     failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice thereof from
     Landlord to Tenant; or

          19.1.3. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other 
     covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure
     continues for thirty (3) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;
     or

          19.1.4. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease 
     or on any of Tenant's Property; or
        
          19.1.5. If Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of 
     creditors, or provides for an arrangement, composition, extension or
     adjustment with its creditors; or


                                      14


<PAGE>
 
                19.16. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or if a 
        petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy
        laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed
        within forty-five (45) days thereafter, or if under the provisions of
        any law providing for reorganization or winding up of corporations, any
        court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control
        of Tenant or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction,
        custody or control remains in force unrelinquished, unstayed or
        unterminated for a period of forty-five (45) days; or

                19.1.7. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a 
        party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take
        charge of the Premises or Tenant's Property (or has the authority to do
        so) for the purpose of enforcing a lien against the Premises or Tenant's
        Property; or

                19.1.8. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one 
        (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person
        or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described in Sections
        19.1.4. through 19.1.7. above.

        19.2. Landlord Remedies. In the event of Tenant's default hereunder, 
              -----------------
then, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any
law or at equity, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's option and 
without further notice or demand of any kind, to do the following:


                19.2.1. Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of
        the Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and
        Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease;
        or

                19.2.2. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the 
        Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other
        charges which have or thereafter become due and payable, or

                19.2.3. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of Section 
        19.2.2., and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right
        to possession of the Premises.

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of Section 19.2.1. or
19.2.3. above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the
obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing unless
Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of
a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. In the
event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant's
Property in the Premises and place such property in storage at a public
warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet the
Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of
any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any
alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and
unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied
in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of rent received
from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than
the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly
upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations
and repairs to the Premises which are not covered by the rent received from the
reletting.

        19.3. Damages Recoverable. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease
              -------------------
under the provisions of Section 19.2.1 or 19.2.3 above, Landlord may recover as 
damages from Tenant the following:

                19.3.1. Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any 
                        ---------
        unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination including
        the value of any Rent that was abated during the Term of the Lease; plus

                19.3.2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award 
                        -------------------
        of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned
        after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
        rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

                19.3.3. Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of 
                        ----------------
        the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after
        the time of award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant
        proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

                19.3.4. Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary 
                        --------------------------
        to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
        failure to




                                      15
<PAGE>
 
        perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course
        of things would by likely to result therefrom, including, but not
        limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), incurred
        by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining
        the Premises after Tenant's default, (c) preparing the Premises for
        reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations, and (d)
        reletting the premises, including brokers' commissions.

"The worth at the time of the award" as used in items 19.3.1. and 19.3.2. above,
is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to 
be charged by an individual. "The worth at the time of the award" as used in 
item 19.3.3. above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the 
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at 
the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

        19.4. Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If Tenant defaults in 
              -----------------------------------------
the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may (but 
shall not be obligated to), without waiving such default, perform the same for 
the account and at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of
such performance immediately upon written demand therefor, and if paid at a 
later date these costs shall bear interest in accordance with Section 7.


        19.5 Landlord's Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, 
             ------------------
condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after 
receipt of Notice from Tenant specifying such default, or, if such default 
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days if Landlord fails to commence
to cure within that thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall be liable to 
Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach; 
provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains 
a money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim 
arising under this Lease, that judgment shall be satisfied only out of the 
rents, issues, profits, and other income actually received on account of 
Landlord's right, title and interest in the Premises, Building or Project, and
no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (or of any of the partners
which comprise Landlord, if any), wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to
satisfy such judgment.


        19.6. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or 
              --------------------
registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of 
Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of 
default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default 
within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or beneficiary 
shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary 
under the circumstances.


        19.7. Tenant's Right to Cure Landlord's Default. If, after Notice to 
              -----------------------------------------
Landlord of default, Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of trust 
beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then 
Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord's expense. Tenant
shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or
offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and
payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect
which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's
expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.


20. WAIVER.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any
default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver 
of such default. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall
not constitute a waiver of any other default; it shall constitute only a waiver 
of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved.

No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of 
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the 
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written 
acknowledgement from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the 
surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.

Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's 
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary 
Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a 
waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this 
Lease.


21. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying 
leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the Building or 
the land upon which the

                                      16
<PAGE>
 
Building is situated, or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of 
trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against 
the Building or on or against Landlord's interest or estate herein, or on or 
against any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution 
and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such
subordination.

If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior 
to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give 
written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such 
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or 
subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the 
date of the recording thereof. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and 
deliver upon demand, without charge therefor, such further instruments 
evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases,
and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by 
Landlord.

In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or 
termination of the lease in which Landlord is lessee, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser, transferee or lessor as the case may be, and recognize that party as 
Landlord under this Lease, provided such party acquires and accepts the Premises
subject to this Lease.

22.  TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

     22.1.  Landlord Request for Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days 
            -----------------------------------------
after written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to 
Landlord or Landlord's designee, in the form requested by Landlord, a written 
statement certifying, among other things, (a) that this Lease is unmodified and 
in full force and effect, or is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications; (b) the amount of Base Rent and the date to which Base Rent 
and Additional Rent have been paid in advance; (c) the amount of any security 
deposited with Landlord; and (d) that Landlord is not in default hereunder or, 
if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating the nature of any claimed 
default. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective 
purchaser, assignee or encumbrancer of the Premises.

     22.2. Failure to Execute. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such 
           ------------------
statement within the time required shall at Landlord's election be a default 
under this Lease and shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease 
is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by 
Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance and that 
Tenant has no right of offset, counter-claim or deduction against Rent and (c) 
not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

23.  NOTICE.

Notice shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served or given if 
personally delivered, sent by certified or registered U.S. Mail, postage prepaid
with a return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier service, fee 
prepaid with a return receipt requested, as follows: (a) if to Landlord, to 
Landlord's Mailing Address and to the Building manager, and (b) if to Tenant, to
Tenant's Mailing Address; provided, however, Notices to Tenant shall be deemed 
duly served or given if delivered or sent to Tenant at the Premises. Landlord 
and Tenant may from time to time by Notice to the other designate another place 
for receipt of future Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the 
contrary, any notice from Landlord to Tenant arising from Section 19. of the 
Lease shall be served or given in accordance with State laws and shall be the 
only notice required.

24.  TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST.

In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or 
Project, and assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is 
hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations 
contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or 
omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after 
the consummation of such sale or transfer, provided the purchaser shall 
expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this 
Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to 
attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all of Landlord's obligations 
hereunder are assumed by such transferee. If any security deposit or prepaid 
Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit or 
prepaid Rent to Landlord's successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be 
relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

25.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

     25.1.  Clean and Same Condition. Upon the Expiration Date or earlier 
            ------------------------

Landlord clean and in the same condition as when received, except for (a) 
reasonable wear and tear, (b) loss by fire or other casualty, and (c) loss by 
condemnation. Tenant shall remove Tenant's Property no later


                                      17

Premises, including any structural damage, resulting from removal of any 
addition, alteration, or improvement made pursuant to Section 12.3. and/or from 
Tenant's use or from the removal of Tenant's Property pursuant to Section 13.2. 
shall be repaired no later than the Expiration Date by Tenant at Tenant's sole 
cost and expense. On the Expiration Date Tenant shall surrender all keys to the 
Premises.

     25.2  Failure to Deliver Possession. If Tenant fails to vacate and 
           -----------------------------
deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord on the expiration or sooner 
termination of this Lease as required by Section 25.1., Tenant shall indemnify 
and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, liabilities and damages resulting 
from Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the Premises, 
including, without limitation, claims made by a succeeding tenant resulting from
Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the Premises and rental 
loss which Landlord suffers.

     25.3.  Property Abandoned. If Tenant abandons or surrenders the 
            ------------------
Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any of Tenant's 
Property left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, and, at 
Landlord's option, title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of
sale. If Landlord elects to remove all or any part of such Tenant's Property, 
the cost of removal, including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building 
caused by such removal, shall be paid by Tenant.

26.  HOLDING OVER.

If after expiration of the Term, Tenant remains in possession of the Premises 
with Landlord's permission (express or implied), Tenant shall become a tenant 
from month to month only, upon all the provisions of this Lease (except as to 
the term and Base Rent), but the Monthly Installments of Base Rent payable by 
Tenant shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly 
Installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term. Such 
monthly rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each 
month. If either party desires to terminate such month to month tenancy, it 
shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) days advance Notice of the 
date of termination.

27.  RULES AND REGULATIONS.

Tenant agrees to comply with (and cause its agents, contractors, employees and 
invitees to comply with) the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit 
"E" and with such reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto as 
Landlord may from time to time make. Landlord shall not be liable for any 
violation of said rules and regulations by other tenants or occupants of the 
Building or Project.

28.  CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD.

Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without (a) liability to

interest therein, or as may be necessary or desirable for the operation or 
improvement of the Building or in order to comply with laws, orders or 
requirements of governmental or other authority. Landlord agrees to use its best
efforts


                                      18

(except in an emergency) to minimize interference with Tenant's business in the 
Premises in the course of any such entry.

Tenant shall not affix, paint, erect or inscribe any sign, projection, awning, 
signal or advertisement of any kind to any part of the Premises, Building or

remove any signs or other matter installed without Landlord's permission,
without being liable to Tenant by reason of such removal, and to charge the cost
of removal to Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder, payable within ten (10) days 
of written demand by Landlord.

30.  RELOCATION OF PREMISES.

Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Premises to another part of the 
Building in accordance with the following:

     30.1. The new premises shall be substantially the same in size, dimensions,

the relocation occurs after the Commencement Date, shall be placed in that 
condition by Landlord at its cost.

     30.2. Landlord shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior Notice of 
Landlord's intention to relocate the Premises.

     30.3. As nearly as practicable, the physical relocation of the Premises

become the Premises under this Lease.

     30.4. All reasonable costs incurred by Tenant as a result of the relocation
shall be paid by Landlord.

     30.5. If the new premises are smaller than the Premises as it existed

Rent, if any.

31.  GOVERNMENT ENERGY OR UTILITY CONTROLS.

In the event of imposition of federal, state or local government controls, 
rules, regulations, or restrictions on the use or consumption of energy or other
utilities during the Term, both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound thereby. In 
the event of a difference in interpretation by Landlord and Tenant of any such 
controls, the interpretation of Landlord shall prevail and Landlord shall have 
the right to enforce compliance therewith, including the right of entry into the
Premises to effect compliance.

32.  FORCE MAJEURE.

Any provision, delay or stoppage of work to be performed by Landlord or Tenant

equipment or reasonable substitutes therefor, acts of God, governmental 
restrictions or regulations or controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile 
governmental actions, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes 
beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform hereunder, shall
excuse performance of the work by that party for a period equal to the duration 
of that prevention, delay or stoppage. Nothing in this Section 32. shall excuse
or delay Tenant's obligation to pay Rent or other charges under this Lease.

broker or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation except the 
Listing and Leasing Agent(s) set forth in Section 2.9. of this Lease. Tenant

34.  QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Tenant, upon payment of Rent and performance of all of its obligations under 
this Lease, shall peaceably, quietly and exclusively enjoy possession of the

claiming through Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease and to any 
mortgage, lease, or other agreement to which this Lease may be subordinate.

35.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     35.1.  Accord and Satisfaction: Allocation of Payments. No payment by 
            -----------------------------------------------
Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent provided for in 
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any 
check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may 
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover 
the balance of the Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease. 
In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the absolute right in its 
sole discretion to apply any payment received from Tenant to any account or 
other payment of Tenant then not current and due or delinquent.

     35.2.  Addenda. If any provision contained in an addendum to this Lease is 
            -------
inconsistent with any other provision herein, the provision contained in the 
addendum shall control, unless otherwise provided in the addendum.

     35.3.  Attorneys' Fees. If any action or proceeding is brought by either 
            ---------------
party against the other pertaining to or arising out of this Lease, the finally 
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including 
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred on account of such action or proceeding.

     35.4.  Captions and Section Numbers. The captions appearing in the body of 
            ----------------------------

and in no way define, limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of this Lease. All 
references to Section numbers refer to Sections in this Lease.

     35.5.  Changes Requested by Lender. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall 
            ---------------------------
unreasonably withhold its consent to changes or amendments to this Lease 
requested by the lender on Landlord's interest, so long as such changes do not 
alter the basic business terms of this Lease or otherwise materially diminish 
any rights or materially increase any obligations of the party from whom consent
to such change or amendment is requested.

     35.6.  Choice of Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in 
            -------------
accordance with the Laws of the State.

     35.7.  Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the 
            -------
contrary, Tenant shall have no claim, and hereby waives the right to any claim 
against Landlord for money damages, by reason of any refusal, withholding or 
delaying by Landlord of any consent, approval or statement of satisfaction, and,
in such event, Tenant's only remedies therefor shall be an action for specific 
performance, injunction or declaratory judgment to enforce any right to such 
consent, approval or statement of satisfaction.

     35.8.  Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual 
            -------------------
signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he is duly 
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation, and 
that this Lease is binding on Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant shall,
at Landlord's request, deliver a certified copy of a resolution of its board of
directors authorizing such execution.

     35.9.  Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts,

   business, unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities.

   thickness as is necessary to properly distribute the weight. Landlord will
   not be responsible for any loss or damage to any such safe or property from

herein to the contrary, Sublessor shall have the right to terminate this

its own determinations in this regard. Sublessor's failure to tender posession
of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee on July 1, 1998, shall not subject
Sublessor to any liability or claims or affect the validity of this Sublease and
Sublessee's obligations hereunder and under the Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for the period of any delayed delivery after July 15, 1998,
Sublessee's obligation to pay rent hereunder shall be abated, and Sublessor
agrees to pay any holdover penalty (but not the rent) charged by Sublessee's
current Landlord to which it is entitled under Sublessee's existing Lease.
Sublessor shall not be liable for any other charges, costs, losses or
liabilities due to such delayed delivery, including but not limited to any
consequential damages.

12. Section 9 of the Sublease is amended by deleting the date September 1, 1998 
    and inserting the date July 15, 1998.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the respective parties have hereunto executed this 
Addendum to Sublease Agreement as of March 3, 1998.

The Addendum to Sublease Agreement between Compass Marketing, Inc. ("Sublessor")
and Global Maintech, Inc. refers to a holdover penalty liability of Sublessor in
section 11 of this Addendum. Sublessor has asked if Global Maintech, Inc. is 
aware of any holdover penalty as a condition prior to Sublessor signing the 
documents.

After a brief review of the leases in question, Global Maintech, Inc. 
represents  there are no holdover penalties of which James Geiser, Secretary of 
Global Maintech, Inc. is aware. However, this statement is not intended to 
relieve Compass of the liability in section 11 of the Addendum. It may be of 
some comfort only that it was not obvious to James Geiser in his brief review.

In addition to the above request made by Sublessor, Global Maintech, Inc. would 
like to clarify certain other provisions of the Addendum and Sublease Agreement.

1. Section 10 of the Addendum refers to Sublessor's right to terminate any time 
   prior to March 16, 1998. Global Maintech, Inc. accepts that such termination
   will take the form either (i) of a notice from Sublessor regarding
   Sublessor's decision to terminate, or (ii) Sublessor and Lessor and any other
   parties to the documentation related to the Addendum have not properly
   executed such documents and Global Maintech, Inc. is not in receipt of such
   executed documents any time prior to March 16, 1998.

2. Sections 1 and 4 of the Sublease Agreements of which the Addendum is a part 
   refer to rent abatement for the period July 1 through and including 31, 1998.
   The Addendum allows the Sublessor to deliver possession after July 1, 1998.
   Sections 1 and 4 are therefor clarified to read that Global Maintech, Inc.
   will not be liable for any rent as defined in Sections 1 and 4 of the
   Sublease Agreement for a period of 31 days following possession as defined in
   the Sublease Agreement or the Addendum. Pro-rata payments of rent will be
   paid by Global Maintech, Inc. for any portion of a month after the expiration
   of the 31 day period.

Sublessee:                                   Sublessor:
