Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and
conditions of the Lease, except for those provisions of the Lease which
are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in which event the terms of
this Sublease shall control over the Lease. Therefore, for the purposes of
this Sublease, except for the obligations of Landlord under the Lease,
wherever in the Lease the word "Landlord" is used it shall be deemed to
mean the Sublessor herein and wherever in the Lease the word "Tenant" is
used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessee herein. The obligations of
Landlord under the Lease shall remain the obligations of Landlord.
2. Assumption of Obligations: During the term of this Sublease and for all
periods subsequent for obligations which have arisen prior to the
termination of this Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and
agree to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublessor and
Landlord, each and every obligation of Sublessor under the Lease except

4. Term:
4.1 Term: The term of this Sublesse shall commence on October 15, 1999
("Commencement Date") and end on February 14, 2001 ("Termination Date").
Whenever the context requires, where the term "Commencement date" is used
in the Lease for purposes of calculating a period of time, such term shall
have the meaning ascribed in the Lease, rather than this Sublease.
Sublesses shall have no right to extend or renew the term of this Sublease
or the Lease.
4.2 Delay in Commencement: If for any reason Sublessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Sublessee on the Commencement Date,
Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this Sublease or the obligations of
Sublessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case Sublessee
shall not be obligated to pay any rent until possession of the Premises is
tendered to Sublessee; provided, however, that if Sublessor shall not have
delivered possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the
Commencement Date, Sublessee may, at Sublessee's option, by notice in
writing to Sublessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this
Sublease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all
obligations hereunder.
5. Rent: Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as "Base Rental" for the Premises,
without off-set or deduction, the amount of Five Thousand Four Hundred
Eighty-Eight 33/100 Dollars ($5,488.33) per month, plus applicable sales
tax.

99/100 Dollars ($16,464.99) ("Security Deposit"), plus applicable sales
tax as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay Base Rental or other
charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision
of this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or
any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other
charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Sublessor
may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default, or to compensate
Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer thereby. If
Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said Security deposit,
Sublessee shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor,
deposit cash with Sublessor in and amount sufficient to restore said
Security deposit to the full amount stated above and Sublessee's failure
to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not
be required to keep said Security deposit separate from its general
account. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's obligations hereunder,
said Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has
not theretofore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without
payment of interest to sublessee at the expiration of the term hereof, and
after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to said Security
deposit.
