                       STANDARD INDUSTRIAL LEASE -- GROSS
                   AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION


1. LEASES. This Lease, dated, for reference purposes only, July 18, 1996, is
made by and between Hansen Management (herein called "Lessor") and Water Sounds
(herein called "Lessee").

2. PREMISES. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for
the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that
certain real property situated in the County of San Mateo, State of California,
commonly known as 1496 Oddstad Drive, Redwood City, described as approximately
1,300 square feet of office and warehouse space, and real property including the
land and all improvements therein, is herein called "the Premises."

3. TERM.

         3.1 TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for two (2) years commencing
on August 1, 1996 and ending on July 31, 1998 unless sooner terminated pursuant
to any provision hereof.

         3.2 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if for
any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on said
date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder
or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to
pay rent until possession of the Premises is tendered by Lessee, provided,
however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises
within sixty (60) days from said commencement date, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel
this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder, provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is
not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel
this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

         3.3 EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said
commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof,
such occupancy shall not advance the termination date, and Lessee shall pay rent
for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below.

4. RENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises, monthly payments
of:

                            [BLANK ON THIS COPY MLM]
                                                ---

Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one month
shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. Rent shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to
such other persons or at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
$800.00 as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder. If Lessee fails to

                                                                       -------

pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect
to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any
portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default or for payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated
by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage
which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any
portion of said default, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore
said deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and Lessee's failure to do
so shall be a material breach of this Lease. If the monthly rent shall, from
time to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall thereupon
deposit with Lessor additional security deposit so that the amount of
security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same proportion
to current rent as the original security deposit bears to the original
monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Lessor shall not be required to
keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all
of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has
not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of
interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option,
to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the premises. No
trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect
to said Security Deposit.

6.       USE.

         6.1 USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for ASSEMBLY +
STORAGE INDOOR WATER FOUNTAINS + CLASSROOM or any other use which is reasonably
comparable and for no other purpose.

         6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

             (a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to the
use for which Lessee will use the Premises, does not violate any covenants or
restrictions of record, or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance
in effect on such Lease term commencement date. In the event it is determined
that this warranty has been violated, than it shall be the obligation of the
Lessor, after written notice of the violation of this warranty within six months
from the date that the Lease term commences, the correction of same shall be the
obligation of the Lessee at Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this
paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of no force or effect if, prior to the date of this
Lease, Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises, and, in such event,
Lessee shall correct any such violation at Lessee's sole cost.

            (b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term hereof,
regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit
the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a
nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant in the building containing
the Premises, shall tend to disturb such other tenants.

good order, condition and repair, and the cost thereof together with interest
thereon at the maximum rate then allowable by law shall be due and payable as
additional rent to Lessor together with Lessee's next rental installment.

       (c) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination,
Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition as
received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of its trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave

make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations in, on
or about the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding $2,500
in cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event, whether or not
in excess of $2,500 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or
alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the building(s)
on the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this
Paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window

fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may
require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements,
to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens
and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations,
improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of
Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same.

        (b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and
which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written
form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, the
consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from
appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor
prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.

        (c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of
any work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall,
in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then
Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same
and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered

upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In
addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs
in participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best
interest to do so.

        (d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph
7.3(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of
Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall become the property of
Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration
of the term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 7.3(d),
Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the
Premises, shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2(c). (EXCLUDE: TRAC LIGHTING ...

the Premises and all other areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in
an amount not less than $500,000 per occurrence. The policy shall insure
performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this Paragraph 8. The

hereunder.

during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury
and Property Damage Insurance, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against any

as the same may exist from time to time, providing protection against all
perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is required by a
lender having a lien on the Premises) special extended perils ("all risk," as
such term is used in the insurance industry) but not plate glass insurance.

         8.4 PAYMENT OF PREMIUM INCREASE.



         8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor copies of policies of liability insurance required under
Paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such
insurance. No such policy shall be cancellable or subject to reduction of
coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Lessor. Lessor shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof,
or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in
Paragraph 8.3.

         8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against

due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,

Lease.

against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from
the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on
Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any
negligence of the Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or employees,
and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason
of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at
Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part

     9.2   PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. Subject to the provisions of
paragraphs 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease there
is damage which is an Insured Loss and which falls into the classification of
Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor shall,
at Lessor's sole cost, repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment
or tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.

     9.3   PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. Subject to the provisions of
paragraphs 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease there
is damage which is not an Insured Loss and which falls within the classification
of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, unless caused by
a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the
repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) repair
such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice
to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such
damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, as of the date
of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice
of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the
right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written
notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to repair such damage at Lessee's
expense, without reimbursement from Lessor, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall proceed to make such repairs
as soon as reasonably possible. If Lessee does not give such notice within such
10-day period this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage.

     9.4   TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage, whether or not an Insured Loss (including destruction required
by any authorized public authority), which falls into the classification of
Premises Total Destruction or Premises Building Total Destruction, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction.

     9.5   DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM.

           (a) If at any time during the last six months of the term of
this Lease there is damage, whether or not an Insured Loss, which falls within
the classification of Premises Partial Damage, Lessor may at Lessor's option
cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage by
giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within 30 days
after the date of occurrence of such damage.

           (b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.5(a), in the event that Lessee
has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said
option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such option,
if it is to be exercised at all, no later than 20 days

after the occurrence of an Insured Loss falling within the classification of
Premises Partial Damage during the last six months of the term of this Lease.
If Lessee duly exercises such option during said 20-day period, Lessor shall,
at Lessor's expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to
exercise such option during said 20-day period, then Lessor may at Lessor's
option terminate and cancel this Lease as of the expiration of said 20-day
period by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so
within 10 days after the expiration of said 20-day period, notwithstanding
any term or provision in the grant of option to the contrary.

    9.6  ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

         (a) In the event of damage described in paragraphs 9.2 or 9.3,
and Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the provisions
of this Paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for the period during which such
damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in proportion to the
degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired. Except for abatement
of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage
suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.

        (b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligations shall accrue, Lessee
may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written
notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior to the commencement of
such repair or restoration in such event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of such notice.

    9.7 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor.
Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security
deposit as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor.

    9.8 WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statutes which
relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree
that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.

10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.



    10.2 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Notwithstanding paragraph 10.1 hereof,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand therefor the entirety of any increase
in real property tax if assessed

<PAGE>


solely by reason of additional improvements placed upon the Premises by
Lessee or at Lessee's request.

         10.3 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX." As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement
district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the
Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, as against
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and as against Lessor's
business of Leasing the Premises. The term "real property tax" also include any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of, partially or
totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove included within
the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of which was
hereinbefore included within the definition of "real property tax," or (iii)
which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978, or,
if previously charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which is
imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or total, of Lessor's interest
in the Premises or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included
within the definition of real property tax by reason of such transfer, or (v)
which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes
hereto, or any transfers hereof.

         10.4 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.

         10.5 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

              (a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.

              (b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.

11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises. (REFERENCE PARA 53)

12.    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

       12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises, without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not
unreasonably withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent
hereunder in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer,
mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void, and
shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

       12.2 LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion
thereof, without Lessee's consent, to any corporation which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Lessor, or to any corporation
resulting from the merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or
entity which acquires all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the
business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee
assumes, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such
assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee
under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment or _______ing the
terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of
Lessee, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.

       12.3 NO RELEASE OF LESSEE. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor 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 any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against
Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.
Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee without
notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or
their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability
under this Lease.

       12.4 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or
if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to
do then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in
connection therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such
request.

13. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.

       13.1 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

            (a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.

            (b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for

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

<PAGE>

a period of three days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In
the event that Lessor serves Lessee with Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant
to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit
shall also constitute the notice required by this subparagraph.

              (c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure
shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default
is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure
within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.

              (d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60
days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30
days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days.
Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d)
is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
effect.

              (e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.

       13.2   REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may
have by reason of such default or breach:

              (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any
real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the
court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

              (b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

<PAGE>

              (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary
obligations of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from
the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.

         13.3 DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if
Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.

         13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event
that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3)
consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4
or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

         13.5 IMPOUNDS. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder,
whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any other
monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required
under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the
monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance
expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this
Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before
delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If
the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are
insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property
taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations.
All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other
moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the
obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining
from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the
option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in
lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance
premiums.

14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the
building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises
which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance
with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent shall
occur if the only area taken is that which does not have a building located
thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however that Lessee shall be entitled to
any award for loss of damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and removable personal
property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such
condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by Lessor
in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of
such severance damages required to complete such repair.

15. BROKER'S FEE.

                  (a) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor
shall pay to      N/A      Licensed real estate broker(s), a fee as set forth
in a separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event
there is no separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of
$      N/A      , for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor
in this transaction.

                  (b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option
as defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under
this Lease, or any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to
an Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or if Lessee acquires any rights
to the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are
substantially similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted to Lessee been exercised, or if Lessee remains in possession of the
Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed to
exercise an Option, or if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other
Lease or sole entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or
any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, then as to any of said
transactions, Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said broker(s) in effect at the time of execution of this Lease.

                  (c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor
but also on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity
having an ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when
such fee is due hereunder. Any transferee of

Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by
operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under
this Paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the
provisions of this Paragraph 15.

16.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

         (a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) day's prior
written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification
and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect)
and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any,
and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge any uncured
defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any
are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.

         (b) At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be
conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there
are no uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that not more than
one month's rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered
by Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.

         (c) If Lesser desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises,
or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or
purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall
include the past three years' financial statements of Lessee. All such
financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser
in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.      LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as expressly provided
in Paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or interest,
Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the
grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed,
provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the
time of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to
the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by
Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and
assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.

18.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

19.      INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein
provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at
the maximum rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such
interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this

                                     15

                                                             Initials: /s/ MLM
                                                                       -------
                                                                       -------

Lease, provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges
incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by
Lessee.

20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.

21. ADDITIONAL RENT. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in Paragraph 15
hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any
employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws
and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise
specifically stated in this Lease.

23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if given
personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties,
as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different
address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the
Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of any act,
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.

25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.

26. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of

                                     16

                                                             Initials: /s/ MLM

                                                                       -------

<PAGE>

Lessee, but all options and rights of first refusal, if any, granted under
the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no further
effect during said month to month tenancy.

27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
wherein the Premises are located.

30. SUBORDINATION.

         (a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and
to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of
this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
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 Lessee, 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 or said mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease or the date of recording thereof.

         (b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure
to execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall
constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option.
Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to
execute such documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).

31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker named herein brings an action
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court. The
provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named
herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.

32. LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter
the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or

desirable. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the
term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs,
all without rebate of rent or liability to Lessee. Lessee requests 24 hour
notice barring emergency. Access to AC/heating controls is granted.

33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without the prior
permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet signs
thereon.

35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.

36. CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the consent
of one party is required to an act of the other party, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

37. GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and
warrant to Lessee that they are duly authorized and legally capable of executing
this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon all
parties holding an ownership interest in the Premises.

herein granted to Lessee are not assignable separate and apart from this
Lease.

         39.3 MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.

         39.4 EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

              (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during
the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default
pursuant to paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time
commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee
and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) continuing until
the obligation is paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of default described
in paragraphs 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to
give notice of such default to Lessee), (iv) in the event that Lessor has given
to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), where a late
charge becomes payable under paragraph 13.4 for each of such defaults, or
paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12 month
period prior to the time that Lessee intends to exercise the subject Option.

              (b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised

Option because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).

              (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's
due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of
Lessee for a period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to
commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c) within 30 days after
the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails
thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or (iii) Lessee
commits a default described in paragraph 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without
any necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv)
Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b),
where a late charge becomes payable under paragraph 13.4 for each such default,
or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured.

larger building or group of buildings then Lessee agrees that it will abide by,
keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.
The violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material
breach of this Lease by Lessee.

measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.

invitees from acts of third parties.

42. EASEMENTS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant
such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable,
and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.

43. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part
of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be
adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum
or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.

44. AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this
Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.

                                ADDENDUM TO LEASE



In reference to the Agreement to Lease dated July 18, 1996 by and between HANSEN
MANAGEMENT, hereafter referred to as Lessor, and WATER SOUNDS hereafter referred
to as Lessee, covering the real property commonly known as 1496 ODDSTAD DRIVE,
REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA the undersigned Lessor and Lessee agree to the
following:

47. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to extend the term of this lease
for two additional two (2) year periods following the expiration of the original
term. Lessee shall exercise this option by giving notice to Lessor at least
three (3) months, but not more than six (6) months, prior to the expiration of
the respective terms.

49. Rental Increases: Beginning August 1, 1997 rental shall be per month.
Beginning August 1, 1998, and in every subsequent year thereafter, for the term
of this lease (including both two year options), the monthly rental shall be
adjusted by the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index as published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the San
Francisco/Oakland Metropolitan Area, all items, herein referred to as "CPI".

The monthly rental shall be calculated as follows: THE MONTHLY RENT PAYABLE
DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR OF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE SHALL BE MULTIPLIED BY A
FRACTION, THE NUMERATOR OF WHICH SHALL BE THE CPI OF THE MONTH PUBLISHED
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CURRENT ADJUSTMENT MONTH AND THE DENOMINATOR SHALL
BE THE CPI OF THE MONTH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE PREVIOUS YEAR OF THE LEASE
TERM. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new monthly rent hereunder;
however, in no event shall the new monthly rent be less than the rent payable
for the month immediately preceding the date for rent adjustments.

In the event the compilation and/or publication of the CPI shall be
transferred to another governmental department or bureau or agency, or shall
be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the CPI shall be used
to make such calculation. In the event the Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on
such alternative index, then the matter shall be submitted for decision to
the American Arbitration Association on accordance with the rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CPI INCREASE BE LESS THAN TWO PERCENT (2%) NOR
GREATER THAN FIVE (5%) IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR.

50. Lessee shall pay their pro-rata share of five point two two percent
(5.22%) of common area costs, including but not limited to parking lot
sweeping, maintenance, utilities, water, landscaping and common lighting.
Lessee shall be provided a breakdown of those costs.

51. If Lessee's tenant improvements cause a notice of violation of ADA, then
Lessee agrees to inform Lessor immediately (but not later than ten days)
after receiving notice of violation of the American Disabilities Act ("ADA").
In addition Lessor is responsible for complying with the ADA in the common
areas, and Lessee is responsible for compliance in their own space if
Lessee's improvements cause the notification.

52. Lessee is taking premises in a condition requiring painting and
carpeting. Lessor grants to Lessee two months free rent for the improvement
of the property. Lessee will make the first rental payment October 1, 1996.
Lessor warrants to Lessee that the lighting and electrical system is in good
and safe operating condition on the lease commencement date. Lessor also
warrants the air conditioning and heating is in good operating condition on
the lease commencement date.

53. Lessee shall pay 45% {(Bill amount DIVIDED BY 2880) x 1300} of PG&E
expenses of combined 1494 and 1496 Oddstad bill. Lessee shall not pay more
