     conditions:

     a.   The new premises shall be substantially the same in size, dimensions,
          and configuration (including a double door entry onto the elevator
          lobby) as the Premises described in this Lease, and if the relocations

     b.   Landlord shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days written notice of

4.   POSSESSION

     a.   Landlord shall substantially complete the improvements to the Premises
          to be provided by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 11.a. of this Lease
          (the "Tenant Improvements"), and deliver the Premises to Tenant on or
          before September 1, 1997 (the "Estimated Delivery Date"), subject to
          extension as provided in this paragraph 4. If the improvements in the
          Premises are not substantially complete on or before the Estimated
          Delivery Date, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
          provided that if such failure is not due to Tenant's Delay (as defined
          below), the Latest Commencement Date shall be extended to reflect the
          delay occasioned by such failure, and provided further, that in the
          event the improvements to the Premises are not substantially complete
          by December 1, 1997 (the "Delivery Deadline"), Tenant may thereupon
          terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord before the date
          that is ten (10) days thereafter, in which event Landlord shall have
          no other or further liability or obligation hereunder to Tenant. In no
          event shall

                                       2
<PAGE>

          Landlord have any liability to Tenant due to delay in completing the
          Premises. If there is any delay in substantial completion of the
          improvements to the Premises due to (a) Tenant's failure to timely
          perform its obligations under the Work Letter Agreement referenced in
          paragraph 11.a. of this Lease, (b) Tenant's changes to the space plan
          or the final plans after Tenant's initial approval thereof, (c) any
          failure by Tenant to pay any construction costs for which it is
          responsible under the terms of this Lease or the Work Letter
          Agreement, (d) any work performed by Tenant in the Premises, or (e)
          any other delay to the extend requested or caused by Tenant
          (collectively, "Tenant's Delay"), the Estimated Delivery Date and the
          Delivery Deadline shall each be extended by one day for each day of
          Tenant's Delay. No base rent (as referenced in paragraph 5 of this
          Lease) or additional rent shall accrue prior to the Commencement Date.
          If any delay in substantially completing the improvements to the
          Premises is occasioned by Tenant's Delay, the Latest Commencement Date
          shall be September 1, 1997. "Substantially complete" means that the
          Improvements to the Premises have been completed in accordance with
          the final plans agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the
          Work Letter Agreement, even though minor details, adjustments or
          punchlist items that do not materially interfere with Tenant's use or
          occupancy of the Premises for normal business operations may remain to
          be completed.

     b.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Landlord tender possession of
          the Premises to Tenant prior to September 1, 1997, and Tenant elects
          to accept such prior tender, such occupancy shall be subject to all of
          the provisions of this Lease including the monthly rent as set forth
          in Subparagraph l.d. above, payable as of the date Tenant accepts such
          tender. If Tenant or its contractors, employees, agents, or other
          licensees or invitees should otherwise enter, use, or occupy the
          Premises prior to September 1, 1997, such entering, occupancy and use
          shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

     c.   Tenant agrees, that by taking possession of the Premises, it
          acknowledges that it has inspected the Premises, that they are in good
          condition, and that it accepts the Premises in their then current
          condition, except that any latent defects in the construction and/or
          workmanship of the Tenant Improvements shall be repaired and/or
          replaced at no cost to the Tenant during the first twelve (12) months
          of the term of this Lease. In addition, if Tenant takes possession of
          the Premises prior to completion of the Tenant Improvements, this
          paragraph 4.c. shall not apply until the Tenant Improvements are
          substantially complete, provided that Tenant's acceptance of the
          Premises at such time shall be subject to the completion of any
          reasonable punchlist items.


5.   RENT

     a.   Effective as of the Commencement Date (as accelerated if applicable)
          Tenant shall pay to Landlord the monthly base rent specified in
          subparagraph l.d., in advance, without offset, deduction, prior
          notice, or demand, and subject to adjustment as per subparagraph 4.b.,
          on or before the first day of each month during the term. Base rent
          for any period during the term which is for less than one month shall

          calendar month, then within five (5) days of the Commencement Date,
          Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prorated base rent for the first
          partial month of the Lease.

     c.   All rent payable hereunder shall be paid to Landlord, without
          deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America
          which shall be legal tender at the time of payment at the Office of
          the Building or to such other person or at such other place as
          Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

               occupancy or the Building, and any expenses, including cost of
               attorneys or experts, reasonably incurred by Landlord in seeking

               overhead and/or profit charged in connection therewith), to the
               extent that the resulting cost of such goods and/or services
               exceeds the cost of similar goods and services in comparable
               buildings in the San Diego business district when rendered by
               unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis;

          d)   depreciation, interest and amortization on mortgages or other

               from insurance proceeds or from a third party (such proceeds to
               be deducted from Direct Operating Expenses in the year in which
               received);

          j)   capital expenditures, including payments under revenue bonds
               issued with respect to capital improvements, except those capital
               expenditures made primarily to reduce Direct Operating Expenses,
               or to comply with any laws or other governmental requirements;
               and

          k)   costs and expenses unrelated to the Building.

b.   If the Direct Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord exceed the
     Direct Operating Expense Base, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage of such
     excess as additional rent pursuant to this subparagraph b. If the Direct
     Operating Expense Base is determined by adjustment to a certain percentage
     occupancy of the Building, then the actual Direct Operating Expenses in
     each year shall be adjusted to the same percentage occupancy for the
     purposes of this paragraph. Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement
     showing, in reasonable detail, an estimate of the amount, if any, by which
     Landlord expects actual Direct Operating Expenses for the current year to
     exceed the Direct Operating Expense Base ("Landlord's Estimate"). Tenant
     shall pay together with its payments of monthly rent, an amount equal to
     one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Percentage of Landlord's Estimate for the
     current year. Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably possible after each
     calendar year, deliver to Tenant a statement showing, in reasonable detail,
     the actual Direct Operating Expenses for the previous year, along with a
     calculation of Tenant's Percentage of the amount, if any, by which the
     actual Direct Operating Expenses exceed the Direct Operating Expense Base.
     If Tenant's obligation for Direct Operating Expenses for the prior year
     exceeds the amount of estimated payments made by Tenant during such prior
     year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such excess within thirty
     (30) days after Landlord submits a statement of the amount due. If Tenant's
     obligation for Direct Operating Expenses for any year is less than the
     amount paid by Tenant therefor during such year, the amount of such
     overpayment shall be credited against monthly installments of Direct
     Operating Expenses and/or rent next coming due. If any such overpayment
     remains unreimbursed at the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall apply
     such amount to any amounts which may be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and
     the remainder shall be promptly refunded to Tenant. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph b., Tenant shall be
     entitled to no credit, refund or reduction in rent if actual Direct
     Operating Expenses are less than the Direct Operating Expenses Base. If
     this Lease commences or terminates on any day other than January lst, any
     additional payment or credit for any initial or final partial year shall be
     determined by pro rating such amount according to a three hundred sixty
     (360) day year.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     c.   If Tenant or its employees, agents, guests, or invitees cause Landlord
          to incur costs of any kind in excess of standard routine maintenance
          and upkeep of the Building or the Parking Structure, Landlord may
          require Tenant to pay such costs directly to Landlord. If Landlord
          receives an insurance recovery with respect to any such cost, then
          Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deductible, along with
          the amount, if any, by which the actual cost exceeds the insurance
          proceeds immediately upon written demand by Landlord. Certain types of
          Tenant Improvements will increase the cost of maintenance and upkeep
          of the Premises to be incurred by Landlord (e.g., light fixtures which
          use unusually expensive bulbs or short-life bulbs, equipment requiring
          periodic maintenance not generally supplied by Landlord to its
          Tenants, equipment with unusual security needs, etc.). Tenant shall
          reimburse Landlord for any such increased costs, at such time or times
          as may be requested by Landlord. In addition, Landlord may at any
          time, at its option, cease performance of any such items of
          maintenance or upkeep of the Premises. Amounts collected from Tenant
          or other tenants shall not be charged back to Tenant as a Direct
          Operating Expense.

     d.   Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide
          a written response to any questions that Tenant may have concerning
          the calculation of the Direct Operating Expenses for the immediately
          preceding calendar year. In the event of any reasonable good faith
          dispute or uncertainty as to said amounts, Tenant shall have the
          right, at its own expense, to conduct an audit of Landlord's books and
          records relating to the determination of Direct Operating Expenses,
          upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the
          immediately preceding year of the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding
          any such dispute or uncertainty, Tenant shall pay all base rent and
          all additional rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease. If
          Tenant, reasonably and in good faith, challenges Landlord's
          computations of the Direct Operating Expenses for the immediately
          preceding year, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its
          objections. If Tenant's audit indicates that Tenant has been
          overcharged for the Direct Operating Expenses, Landlord shall revise
          its records and billings accordingly; provided, however, that if
          Landlord disputes the findings of Tenant's audit, then Landlord and
          Tenant shall mutually agree upon a nationally recognized firm of
          certified public accountants, and, if necessary, real estate
          consultants, which shall conduct an independent audit, and the
          findings of such firm shall be binding on the parties hereto. Within
          thirty (30) days after resolution of such dispute, the party which
          owes money to the other shall remit the sum owed. Tenant shall be
          responsible for the cost of its own audit and also for the cost of any
          audit by an independent accounting firm; provided, however, that if
          Tenant's audit or the audit conducted by the independent accounting
          firm, as the case may be, determines that Tenant has been overcharged
          by five percent (5%) or more for the Direct Operating Expenses for the
          immediately preceding year of the term of this Lease, then Landlord
          shall pay for or reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of Tenant's
          audit, and if an audit by an independent accounting firm was also
          conducted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section
          6.d, Landlord shall also pay for the cost of such independent audit;
          and provided further that if an independent audit is conducted and
          such audit determines that Tenant has been overcharged by five percent
          (5%) or more, but less than ten percent (10%) for the Direct Operating
          Expenses for the immediately preceding year of the term of this Lease,
          then Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half of the cost of such
          independent audit.

7.   SECURITY DEPOSIT

     a.   Concurrently with the execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to
          Landlord the amount set forth in subparagraph l.k. This amount shall
          be held by Landlord as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance
          of all of the provisions and conditions of this Lease to be kept and
          performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord's obligation with respect to
          the Security Deposit is that of a debtor and not as a trustee. The
          Security Deposit may be commingled with rental receipts or other funds
          of Landlord or dissipated entirely, and no interest shall accrue
          thereon.

     b.   If Tenant defaults with respect to the payment of rent or any other
          covenant contained herein, Landlord may use or retain all or any part
          of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or

                                       6
<PAGE>

          any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which
          Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's
          default. Landlord may also apply the security deposit toward costs
          incurred to repair damages to the Premises or to clean the Premises
          upon termination of this Lease. If any portion of the Security Deposit
          is so applied or used, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after
          written notice thereof, deposit an additional amount with Landlord
          sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the amount set forth
          above, and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this
          Lease.

8.   TENANT'S PROPERTY TAXES

     Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all taxes levied against, imposed
     upon, measured by, or resulting from or with respect to (a) any personal
     property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises; (b)
     any improvements to the Premises in excess of Building standard
     improvements, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant; (c) the possession,
     lease, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, improvement, repair,
     use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof; (d) this
     transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or
     transferring any interest or estate in the Premises; (e) the cost and
     expenses of contesting the amount or validity of any of the foregoing
     taxes. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or Landlord's
     property, and if Landlord pays the same, which Landlord shall have the
     right but not obligation to do regardless of the validity of such levy,
     Tenant shall, immediately upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so
     levied against Landlord

9.   USE

     Tenant shall use the Premises only for the specified use set forth in
     subparagraph 1.l., above, and shall not use or permit the Premises to be
     used for any other purposes. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be
     done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will
     in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other
     insurance upon the building or any of its contents or cause cancellation of
     any insurance policy covering said Building or any part thereof or any of
     its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
     the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of
     other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or use
     or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, 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.

10.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

     Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about
     the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute,
     ordinance, or government rule or regulation now in force or which may
     hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
     expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, and
     governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may
     hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any board of fire
     insurance underwriters or other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted
     relating to or affecting the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises,
     excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant's
     improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction
     or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord
     be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute,
     ordinance, or governmental rule, regulation, or requirement, shall be
     conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

11.  ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

     a.   Landlord shall make certain improvements to the Premises as set forth
          in Exhibit B attached hereto. Said improvements shall proceed in
          accordance with the provisions of the certain "Work Letter Agreement"
          attached hereto, and executed by Landlord and Tenant.

     b.   Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions
          or improvements (collectively, "Alterations") to or on the Premises or
          any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
          consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that the

                                       7
<PAGE>

          Alterations do not affect the Building's structure, safety, systems or
          aesthetics or cause the release of Hazardous Materials. Any
          Alterations to or on the Premises or any part thereof, including, but
          not limited to, wall covering, paneling, and built-in cabinet work,
          but excepting moveable furniture and trade fixtures, shall, upon the
          expiration of the term, become part of the realty, become the property
          of Landlord, and shall be surrendered with the Premises.

     c.   In the event Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations to or
          on the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant, the same shall be made
          at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All Alterations to the Premises,
          including without limitation the initial Tenant Improvements, shall be
          constructed by Landlord or Landlord's contractor.

     d.   Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof and upon
          written demand by Landlord, Tenant shall, forthwith and with all due
          diligence, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, remove any Alterations
          made by Tenant and designated for removal by Landlord at the time of
          the installation of such Alterations.

12.  REPAIRS

     a.   Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep and maintain the
          Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair. Tenant
          shall upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease
          surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear
          and tear excepted. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to
          alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any
          part thereof, and the parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no
          representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises or
          the Building except as specifically herein set forth.

     b.   Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 11.a. above, Landlord
          shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building
          unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by
          the act, neglect, fault, or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its
          agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall
          pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs.
          Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs
          or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an
          unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or
          maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in
          paragraph 21 hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent and no
          liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with
          Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations,
          or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises
          or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein. Tenant
          waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law,
          statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

13.  LIENS

     Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises are
     situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials
     furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require, at
     Landlord's sole option, that Tenant provide to Landlord, at Tenant's sole
     cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
     one-half times the estimated cost of any improvements, additions, or
     alterations to be made to the Premises, to insure Landlord against any
     liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens, and to insure completion
     of the work.

14.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     a.   Tenant shall neither voluntarily nor by operation of law assign, sell,
          encumber, pledge, or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant's
          leasehold estate hereunder, or permit any other person (excepting
          Tenant's agents and employees) to occupy the Premises or any portion
          thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall
          not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or other transfer or
          subletting proposed by Tenant shall be subject in each instance to the
          recapture option of Landlord set forth in subparagraph c. below.
          Landlord's consent shall be

                                       8
<PAGE>

          based upon (i) a determination that the same type, class, nature, and
          quality of business, services, management, and financial soundness of
          ownership shall exist after such assignment or subletting and (ii)
          that each and every covenant, condition, and obligation imposed upon
          Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy and benefit
          afforded Landlord by this Lease and the underlying purpose of this
          Lease is not thereby impaired or diminished. The reasonable
          determination by Landlord as to whether consent will be granted in any
          specific instance may be based on, without limitation, the following
          factors: (a) whether the transferee's use of the Premises will be
          compatible with the provisions of the Lease and the operation of the
          Building as a whole: (b) the extent to which the transferee will
          compete with other existing tenants of the Building; (c) the financial
          capacity of the transferee; (d) the business reputation of the
          transferee; (e) the transferee's intended use of the common areas and
          facilities; (f) the quality of the business operations of the
          transferee; (g) the business experience of the proposed transferee;
          (h) whether the transferee's business is likely to increase the risk
          of waste disposal or other environmental problems; and (i) whether the
          intended transferee is currently a tenant in the Building or is
          currently negotiating with Landlord for the occupancy of other space
          within the Building. This list of factors is not intended to be
          exclusive, and Landlord may rely on such other reasonable bases for
          judgment as may apply from time to time. Landlord shall not at any
          time be required to consent to any assignment, subletting, or other
          transfer to any party who is or was immediately prior to the transfer
          a tenant in the Building. Consent by Landlord to one or more
          assignments of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the
          Premises shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to require
          consent to any future assignment, subletting, or other transfer. If
          Tenant is a corporation, unincorporated association, or partnership,
          the transfer, assignment, or hypothecation of any stock or interest in
          such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in
          excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of all outstanding stock or
          interests, or liquidation thereof, shall be deemed an assignment
          within the meaning and provisions of this paragraph. The foregoing
          sentence shall not apply to any corporation or partnership which is a
          reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Tenant
          shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable costs and
          attorney's fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and
          documentation of any required consent to assignment, subletting,
          transfer, change of ownership, or hypothecation of this Lease or
          Tenant's interest in and to the Premises.

     b.   If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the
          Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its
          desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name
          and legal composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the
          nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's business to be
          carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the
          proposed sublease or assignment and all transfer documents relating to
          the proposed transfer; and (iv) such reasonable business and financial
          information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant
          or assignee. Any request for Landlord's approval of a sublease or
          assignment shall be accompanied with a check in such reasonable amount
          as Landlord shall advise for the cost of review and preparation,
          including reasonable attorney's fees, of any documents relating to
          such proposed transfer. The provisions and conditions of any proposed
          sublease or assignment must not be inconsistent with any provision of
          this Lease, and must address all matters contained in this Lease. In
          addition, the transferee must expressly assume all of the obligations
          of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding the assumption of the
          obligations of this Lease by the transferee, no subletting or
          assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of
          its continuing obligation to pay the rent and perform all the other
          obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The obligations and
          liability of Tenant hereunder shall continue notwithstanding the fact
          that Landlord may accept rent and other performance from the
          transferee. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person
          shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of
          this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment or subletting.

     c.   At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the
          information specified in subparagraph b. above, Landlord may by
          written notice to Tenant elect to either (i) sublease or take an
          assignment of the Premises of the portion thereof as shall be
          specified in said notice upon the same terms as those offered to the
          proposed subtenant or assignee, as the case may be; or (ii) terminate
          this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises so
          proposed to be subleased

                                       9
<PAGE>

          or assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable
          hereunder. Upon the exercise by Landlord of either of the options
          provided herein, Landlord is free to lease the Premises or any part
          thereof to the proposed subtenant or assignee, or to any other party,
          on any terms. If Landlord does not exercise either option within said
          thirty (30) day period, but instead notifies Tenant in writing of its
          consent to the proposed sublease or assignment, then Tenant may
          thereafter within ninety (90) days after receipt of Landlord's written
          consent enter into a valid assignment or sublease of the Premises or
          portion thereof, to the party and upon the terms and conditions
          described in the information required to be furnished by Tenant to
          Landlord pursuant to subparagraph b. above. If Landlord takes no
          action within the thirty (30) day period, consent to the proposed
          assignment or sublease shall be deemed withheld.

     d.   In no event shall Tenant display on or about the Premises or the
          Building any signs for the purpose of advertising the Premises for
          assignment, subletting or other transfer of rights.

     e.   In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall not collect
          more than two months rent at any time in advance, and Tenant shall not
          collect a security deposit in excess of the monthly rent then payable
          by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. Any consideration paid by the
          assignee or subtenant that exceeds one hundred ten percent (110%) of
          the monthly rent then payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be
          due, owing and payable from Tenant to Landlord as and when received by
          Tenant.

     f.   Any sale, assignment, mortgage or transfer of this Lease or subletting
          which does not comply with the provisions of this paragraph 13. shall
          be void and, at the option of Landlord, shall terminate this Lease.

     g.   If Tenant requests consent to an assignment or sublease, and the
          Landlord refuses to give its consent, elects to terminate this Lease,
          or takes other action which is later determined by a court or
          arbitrator or mediator to be unreasonable or unlawful, Tenant's only
          remedy shall be specific enforcement of the right to assign or sublet;
          in no event shall Landlord be liable to any party for monetary damages
          in connection with its responses to requests for consent to assignment
          or subletting.

15.  HOLD HARMLESS

     a.   Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and
          against any and all claims, demands, liability, loss, or damage,
          whether for injury to or death of persons or damage to real or
          personal property, arising out of or in connection with the Premises,
          Tenant's use of the Premises, any activity, work, or other thing done,
          permitted, or suffered by Tenant in or about the Building, or arising
          from any reason or cause whatsoever in connection with the use or
          occupancy of the Premises by any party during the term of this Lease.
          This indemnification by Tenant shall include indemnity for the acts or
          omissions of Landlord and its agents, servants, and employees to the
          fullest extent allowed by law. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend,
          and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising
          from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on
          Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or arising
          from any act or negligence of Tenant or any officer, agent, employee,
          guest, or invitee of Tenant, and from and against all costs,
          attorney's fees, expenses, and liabilities incurred as a result of any
          such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. In any case,
          action, or proceeding brought against Landlord by reason of any such
          claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at
          Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
          Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby
          assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon,
          or about the Premises from any cause other than causes solely as a
          result of Landlord's negligent or intentional acts or omissions, and
          Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.
          Tenant's obligation to indemnify under this paragraph shall include
          attorney's fees, investigation costs, and other reasonable costs,
          expenses, and liabilities incurred by Landlord. If the ability of
          Tenant to use the Premises or the Building is interrupted for any
          reason, Landlord

                                       10
<PAGE>

          shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damages occasioned by
          such loss of use, unless said interruption is solely as a result of
          Landlord's negligence or intentional misconduct.

     b.   Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property
          entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for loss or damage to any
          property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage to
          persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster,
          steam, gas, electricity, water, or rain which may leak from any part
          of the Building or from the pipes, appliances, or plumbing works
          therein or from the roof, street, or subsurface from any other place
          resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, unless caused
          by or due to, the intentional acts or omissions of Landlord, its
          agents, servants, or employees. Landlord, or its agents, shall not be
          liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal
          hereditament or loss of business by Tenant, nor shall Landlord be
          liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building.
          Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or
          accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or
          in the fixtures or equipment.

     c.   Landlord shall indemnity, defend and hold harmless Tenant from and
          against any and all claims, demands, liability, loss, or damage,
          whether for injury to or death of persons or damage to real or
          personal property, arising directly out of the active negligence or
          wilful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees.


16.  SUBROGATION

     Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other or to any
     insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other
     party for any loss or damage to any building, structure, or other tangible
     property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under worker's
     compensation laws and benefits, even though such loss or damage might have
     been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents, or employees
     if any such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the part
     suffering such loss or damage. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually release
     each other from liability and waive all right to recover against each other
     or against officers, employees, agents, guests, authorized assignees or
     subtenants, or representatives of each other for any loss or damage to any
     person or property caused by or resulting from risks insured against under
     any insurance policies carried by the parties; provided, however, this
     paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to
     the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance
     coverage of Landlord or Tenant. The parties shall, to the extent available,
     cause each insurance policy obtained by it hereunder to provide a waiver of
     subrogation. In the event that the insurance company of Tenant does not
     waive the right of subrogation against Landlord and its insurance company,
     Tenant shall (i) maintain during the term of this Lease fire legal
     liability coverage with respect to the Premises and (ii) pay to Landlord
     upon demand Landlord's cost incurred in securing fire legal liability
     insurance protecting Landlord in the event of the destruction of Tenant's
     property. To the extent applicable, the provisions of this paragraph shall
     apply notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Lease.

17.  TENANT'S INSURANCE

     a.   Tenant shall procure and maintain in force at all times during the
          term of this Lease a policy or policies of fire and extended coverage
          insurance (including vandalism, malicious mischief, and sprinkler
          leakage) with respect to its fixtures, personal property, any exterior
          signage affixed to the building, and equipment located in the Premises
          to the extent of at least ninety percent (90%) of their insurance
          value. Tenant shall also procure and maintain plate glass coverage
          with respect to the Premises. During the term of this Lease, the
          proceeds of any such policy or policies of insurance shall be used
          solely for the repair and replacement of the fixtures, personal
          property, any exterior signage affixed to the building, and equipment,
          or glass so insured. The amounts of such fire and extended coverage
          insurance shall be reasonably increased from time to time by Tenant,
          upon written demand from Landlord.

                                       11

     b.   Tenant shall procure and maintain at all times during the term of this
          Lease Workers' Compensation Insurance. Tenant shall also procure and
          maintain at all times during the term hereof Combined Single Limit
          Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance insuring Landlord and
          Tenant against any liability arising out of the use, occupancy, or
          maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such
          insurance shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per
          occurrence. The amount of such insurance shall be reasonably increased
          from time to time by Tenant, upon written demand from Landlord. This
          policy shall include broad form contractual liability and indemnity
          coverage which shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity and
          defense provisions in paragraph 14. above. The limits of said
          insurance shall not, however, be construed to limit the liability of
          Tenant under this Lease.

     c.   Tenant shall procure and maintain at all times during the term of this
          Lease (i) business interruption insurance, (ii) personal injury
          insurance with endorsement deleting the employee liability exclusion,
          (iii) employee liability insurance, (iv) professional liability or
          errors and omissions insurance, (v) liability and bodily injury
          insurance covering both landlord and Tenant against any costs or
          claims arising in connection with the use of the Sunroad Exercise
          Facility by Tenant or its employees, agents, guests, or invitees, and
          (vi) during any period of alteration or construction by Tenant,
          Builder's all risk insurance which must include completed operations
          coverage. Landlord may, from time to time, require Tenant to
          reasonably increase the limits of any insurance required to be
          maintained by Tenant.

     d.   The deductible amounts, if any, with respect to all insurance which
          Tenant is required to maintain hereunder shall not exceed $5,000 per
          claim or occurrence. The amount of the deductibles, if any, within
          this limitation shall be a business decision by Tenant; under no
          circumstances shall Landlord be required to reimburse Tenant for the
          amount of any deductible incurred by Tenant in connection with any
          insured event, even if the event resulting in the claim was caused or
          contributed to by Landlord or its agents, servants, or employees.

     e.   All insurance which Tenant is required to maintain hereunder shall be
          on an occurrence basis and shall be with financially responsible
          insurance companies which companies shall be subject to the reasonable
          approval of Landlord. Within five (5) days after the execution of this
          Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the name of Tenant's
          insurer. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to entry on the
          premises by Tenant certificates of insurance evidencing the existence
          and amount of such insurance, and showing Landlord as a named insured;
          provided that in the event Tenant fails to procure and maintain such
          insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure same at
          Tenant's expense. All policies shall include a "severability of
          interest" endorsement with respect to Landlord. No such policy shall
          be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other
          modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
          Landlord by the insurer. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days prior
          to the expiration of such policies furnish Landlord with renewals or
          binders, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost to
          Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. All such
          policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with
          and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry, and all
          policies shall include Tenant's employees as additional insureds.
          Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage
          pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant provided that such
          blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to
          Tenant as required by this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request from
          Landlord, immediately deliver to Landlord copies of all insurance
          policies (including the declarations pages) in effect with respect to
          Tenant's business and the Premises.

18.  SERVICE AND UTILITIES

     Landlord will provide electric sub-meter bases for the Premises, which will
     be paid for from the Tenant improvement allowance. Tenant shall make all
     arrangements for and pay for all electric service to the Premises and for
     all connection charges and billing deposits, if any, incurred therewith.
     The Building has a heating and air conditioning system (water source heat
     pump system) the utility and operating costs of which shall comprise a
     portion of the Direct Operating Expenses as hereinbefore defined. Landlord
     shall

                                       12
<PAGE>

     make available heating and air conditioning for the Building, including the
     Premises, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except legal
     holidays. The cost of this service shall be a Direct Operating Expense. If
     Tenant requests heating or air conditioning service after hours, during
     weekends, or on holidays, Landlord shall make available such services to
     the Premises for an additional charge of $20.00 per hour of use, or any
     part thereof. Landlord may increase such additional hourly charge if the
     costs of providing such services increase, provided that such increase
     reflects the actual increased cost of the service and does not incorporate
     any profit margin for Landlord for providing such additional services.
     Tenant shall make arrangements for and pay for all voice and data
     communications systems and equipment, including installation, wiring, and
     service and use charges. Other services and utilities, unless provided by
     Landlord (and the costs of which are included in the Direct Operating
     Expenses of the Building) shall be the responsibility of Tenant. Landlord
     shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for interruption or stoppages
     of utilities or other services to the Building or the Premises.

19.  RULES AND REGULATIONS

     Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations
     that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate. Landlord reserves the
     right from time to time to make reasonable modifications to said rules and
     regulations. The additions and modifications to those rules and regulations
     shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant.
     Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any
     said rules and regulations by any other tenants or occupants.

20.  HOLDING OVER

     If Tenant should remain in possession of the Premises (i) after the
     expiration of the term of this Lease without executing a new lease, or (ii)
     after Landlord has declared a forfeiture by reason of a default by Tenant,
     then such holding over shall be construed at the sole option of Landlord as
     a tenancy at sufferance from month-to-month (requiring at least 30 days
     advance written notice from either party to the other prior to termination)
     subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease
     insofar as they are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the
     minimum monthly rental shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
     monthly rent last paid due, payable monthly in advance. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, in the event Tenant fails to vacate the Premises and fulfill all
     of its obligations hereunder at the end of the term, Tenant shall be liable
     for all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of the latter's inability to
     deliver possession of the Premises or any portion thereof to any other
     person.

21.  ENTRY BY LANDLORD

     Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times have the right to enter
     the Premises, inspect the same, to show said Premises to prospective
     purchasers or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility, and to alter,
     improve, or repair the Premises and any portion of the Building of which
     the Premises are a part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable
     without abatement of rent and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and
     other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character or
     the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the
     Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the
     business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby
     waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or
     interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet
     enjoyment of the Premises, and other loss occasioned thereby. For each of
     the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key
     with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon, and about the Premises,
     excluding Tenant's vaults, safes, and files, and Landlord shall have the
     right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said
     doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises without
     liability to tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for
     Tenant's property. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of
     said means or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or
     deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the
     Premises or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide to Tenant at least
     twenty-four (24) hours notice prior to entering the Premises, except in the
     case of criminal activity, fire or other emergency, in which case no prior
     notice shall be required.

                                       13

22.  RECONSTRUCTION

     a.   In the event the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a
          part are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage
          insurance, and the estimated cost of repairs is not in excess of
          available insurance proceeds, then Landlord shall forthwith repair the
          same and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

     b.   In the event the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a
          part are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils
          covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, or the estimated cost
          of repairs is in excess of available insurance proceeds, then Landlord
          shall forthwith repair the same, provided the extent of the
          destruction is less than ten percent (10%) of the then full
          replacement cost of the Premises (or if the damage is to the Building,
          and the extent of the destruction is less than ten percent (10%) of
          the full replacement cost of the Building of which the Premises are a
          part). In the event the destruction of the Premises or the Building is
          to the extent greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the full
          replacement cost, then landlord shall have the option to (1) to repair
          or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and
          effect, or (2) give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60)
          days after such damage terminating this Lease as of the date specified
          in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) and no
          more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. In the
          event of giving such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest
          of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified
          in such notice and the rent shall be paid up to date of said such
          termination.

     c.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph,
          Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct,
          or restore premises when the damage resulting from any casualty
          covered under this paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12) months
          of the term of the Lease or any extension thereof. Tenant may
          terminate this Lease in the event Landlord does not elect to repair,
          reconstruct or restore the Premise during the last twelve (12) months
          of the term.

     d.   Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire
          or other cause or to make any repairs or replacements of any panels,
          decoration, office fixtures, railings, floor covering, partitions, or
          any other property installed in the Premises by Tenant.

     e.   Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from
          Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises,
          Tenant's personal property, or any inconvenience or annoyance
          occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction, or restoration. For
          purposes of this paragraph, insurance proceeds shall not be considered
          to be "available" if payable to Landlord's lender and such lender will
          not release them for repairs.

23.  DEFAULT

     a.   The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
          constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (an "Event of
          Default"):

          The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment
          required to be made by Tenant hereunder as and when due where such
          failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written
          notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any
          such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice
          required under California Code of Civil Procedure (S)1161 regarding
          unlawful detainer actions.

     b.   The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the other
          covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
          performed by the Tenant where such failure shall continue for a period
          of fifteen days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant.

     c.   The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
          creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have
          Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or reorganization or

                                       14
<PAGE>

          arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case
          of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty
          days); or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take
          possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
          Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is
          not restored to Tenant within thirty days; or the attachment,
          execution, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's
          assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease,
          where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

24.  DEFAULT REMEDIES

     If an Event of Default exists, in addition to any other rights or remedies
     of Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following
     remedies:

     a.   Landlord may recover from Tenant the rent as it becomes due and any
          other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
          proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
          under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
          likely to result therefrom, irrespective of whether Tenant shall have
          abandoned the Premises. Landlord may sue monthly, annually, or after
          such equal or unequal periods as Landlord desires for amounts due
          hereunder. The right to collect rent as it becomes due shall terminate
          upon the termination by Landlord of Tenant's right to possession.
          Tenant's right to possession shall not be terminated unless and until
          Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice thereof.

     b.   In the event Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease, Landlord
          shall have the right to attempt to relet the Premises at such rent and
          upon such conditions and for such a term as Landlord see fits, and to
          do all other acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises as
          Landlord deems reasonable and necessary, without being deemed to have
          elected to terminate the Lease, including removal of all persons and
          property from the Premises which property may be removed and stored in
          a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
          Tenant. In the event any reletting of the Premises occurs, such
          reletting shall be done for Tenant's account and be subject to the
          terms and conditions of subparagraph c. below. Notwithstanding the
          fact that Landlord may fail to elect to terminate the Lease initially,
          Landlord at any time during the term of this Lease may elect to
          terminate this Lease by virtue of any previous uncured default of
          Tenant.

     c.   In the event that Landlord shall elect to reenter upon default by
          Tenant as provided above or shall take possession of the Premises
          pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice by law, then,
          if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided herein,
          Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet
          the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such
          rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord
          in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Landlord shall also have
          the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the
          event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by
          Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment
          of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to
          Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third,
          to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the
          Premises: fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and
          the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment
          of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.
          Should reletting result in the actual payment of rentals at less than
          the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant
          shall pay such deficiency to Landlord from time to time immediately
          upon demand therefor by Landlord. Tenant also shall pay to Landlord,
          on demand, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by
          Landlord in reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the
          Premises.

     d.   Landlord, either as an alternative to or subsequent to exercising the
          remedies set forth above, may terminate Tenant's right to possession
          of the Premises by and upon delivery to Tenant of written notice of
          termination. Landlord may then immediately reenter the Premises and
          take Possession thereof pursuant to legal proceedings and remove all
          persons and property from the Premises which property may be removed
          and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and

                                       15
<PAGE>

          for the account of Tenant. In the event that Landlord elects to
          terminate Tenant's right of possession Landlord may recover all of the
          following:

     e.   The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been
          earned at the time of termination. ("Worth at the time of award" shall
          be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law
          from the first day a breach occurs);

     f.   The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
          that would have been earned after the date of termination of this
          Lease until the time of the award exceeds the amount of the rental
          loss that the Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided ("Worth
          at the time of award" shall be determined by allowing interest at the
          maximum rate permitted by law from the first day a breach occurs);

     g.   The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
          for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount
          of such rental loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably
          avoided. ("Worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
          discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
          Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%)).

     h.   Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
          detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
          obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of events
          would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to,
          expenses of reletting, attorney's fees, costs of alterations and
          repairs, recording fees, filing fees, and any other expense
          customarily resulting from obtaining possession of leased Premises and
          releasing; and

     i.   At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu
          of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable
          California law.

25.  EMINENT DOMAIN

     a.   If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
          eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the threat of the exercise
          of such power, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as
          of the date that the condemning authority takes possession of the
          Premises. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is
          taken or sold under such threat, either Landlord or Tenant may
          terminate this Lease as of the date that the condemning authority
          takes possession by delivery of written notice of such election within
          twenty (20) days after such party has been notified of the taking or,
          in the absence thereof, within twenty (20) days after the condemning
          authority shall have taken possession.

     b.   If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant, it shall remain
          in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
          provided that, the monthly base rent shall be reduced by that
          proportion which the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the
          gross floor area of the Premises. In such event, Landlord may, at
          Landlord's expense, restore the Premises (but not Tenant's
          improvements therein) to a complete unit of like quality and
          character, except as to size, as existed prior to the date on which
          the condemning authority took possession.

     c.   All awards for the taking of any part of the Premises or proceeds from
          the sale made under the threat of the exercise of the power of eminent
          domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether made as compensation
          for diminution of value of the leasehold estate, for the taking of the
          fee, or as severance damages; provided that Tenant shall be entitled
          to any award which is made for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade
          fixtures and removable personal property.

26.  OFFSET STATEMENT

     Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time upon not less than five
     days' prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver
     to Landlord a statement in writing (a) certifying that this

                                       16
<PAGE>

     Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, is in
     full force and effect, and stating the modifications) and the date to which
     the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (b)
     acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
     defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults if
     any are claimed. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement to Landlord
     within 5 days after receipt of Landlord's notice shall be conclusively
     deemed to be Tenant's acknowledgment that the Lease is unmodified, no rent
     or other charges have been paid in advance, and that, to Tenant's
     knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder.
     In the event of a failure by Tenant to deliver such a statement to Landlord
     within such period Tenant appoints Landlord its attorney in fact to execute
     and deliver to interested parties any such statement on Tenant's behalf.
     Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
     encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the

     regulations, Tenant shall abide by the terms and provisions of any recorded

          resolution of the board of directors of said corporation or in
          accordance with the by-laws of said corporation, and that this Lease
          is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms.

     b.   Limited Partnership. If Landlord herein is a limited partnership, it
          is understood and agreed that any claims by Tenant on Landlord shall
          be limited to the assets of the limited partnership; and furthermore,
          Tenant expressly waives any and all rights to proceed against the
          individual partners or the officers, directors, or shareholders of any
          corporate partner, except to the extent of their interest in said
          limited partnership.

29.  EXERCISE FACILITY

     a.   Landlord agrees to maintain within the Parking Structure an exercise
          facility of approximately 900 square feet for non-exclusive use by
          Landlord, Tenant and other permitted users, according to such rules
          and regulations as Landlord may from time to time promulgate,
          throughout the term of the Lease and any extension thereof. Such
          facilities shall include exercise equipment of a type and quality
          selected by Landlord (which may, but need not necessarily include
          rowing machines, exercise bicycles and treadmills) plus separate men's
          and women's lockers and showers. Tenant agrees that (i) it will
          instruct all of its officers, agents, employees, guests, and invitees
          that use or the exercise facilities is at their own risk, and (ii)
          Landlord shall not be liable for any injuries of damages resulting
          from use of the facility by any party and shall not be subject to any
          claims, demands, liabilities or causes of action arising out of such
          use of the facility. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
          Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, liability, loss
          or damage arising out of use by the Tenant and its officers, agents,
          employees, guests or invitees of the exercise facility. Access to the
          facility shall be permitted only in accordance with Landlord's rules
          and regulations, and Landlord reserves the right to refuse access to
          such facility as a result of any breach or violation of Landlord's
          rules and regulations concerning use of

                                       17
<PAGE>

          the facility, or any other default under the terms of this Lease.
          Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may require each individual wishing
          to use the exercise facility to execute a waiver and indemnification
          in favor Landlord. Nothing contained in this numbered paragraph shall
          be deemed to limit or quality the scope or effect of such waiver and
          indemnification given to Landlord by each such individual in
          connection with their use of the exercise facility.

     b.   Tenant shall be entitled to that number of passes indicated in
          subparagraph 1.o. of this Lease. Passes shall consist of building
          passcards encoded to permit access to the facility. Only those
          employees authorized by Tenant in writing shall have their passcards
          so encoded. If an authorized person does not otherwise have a
          passcard, a passcard will be provided for a deposit of $25. All users
          of the exercise facility shall sign a release and waiver in form
          acceptable to Landlord prior to admittance to the exercise facility.

30.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

     a.   Tenant shall not:

          i)   Make, or permit to be made, any use of the Premises, or any
               portion thereof, which emits, or permits the emission of dust,
               sweepings, dirt, cinders, fumes, or odors into the atmosphere,
               the ground, or any body of water, whether natural or artificial;
               or

          ii)  Discharge, leak, or emit, or permit to be discharged, leaked, or
               emitted, any liquid, solid, or gaseous matter, or any combination
               thereof, into the atmosphere, the ground, or any body of water,
               which matter, as reasonably determined by Landlord or any
               governmental entity, does, or may, pollute or contaminate the
               same, or is, or may become, radioactive or does, or may,
               adversely affect (1) the health or safety of persons wherever
               located, whether on the Premises or anywhere else, (2) the
               condition, use, or enjoyment of the Premises or any other real or
               personal property, whether on the Premises or anywhere else, or
               (3) the Premises, the Building, or any of the improvements,
               including buildings, foundations, pipes, utility lines,
               landscaping, or parking areas.

     b.   Tenant shall not use, store, dispose of, or permit to remain on the
          Premises, the Building, or the underlying or adjacent property any
          solid, liquid, or gaseous matter, or any combination thereof, which
          is, or may become, hazardous, toxic, or radioactive including, but not
          limited to, those materials listed in Sections 66680 through 66685 of
          Title 22 of the California Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 30
          (as may be amended from time to time) or any material which, if
          discharged, leaked, or emitted or permitted to be discharged, leaked,
          or emitted into the atmosphere, the ground, or any body of water, does
          or may (i) pollute or contaminate the same, or (ii) adversely affect
          (1) the health or safety of persons, whether on the Premises or
          anywhere else, (2) the condition, use, or enjoyment of the Premises or
          anywhere else, or (3) the Premises, the Building, or any of the
          improvements (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as
          "Hazardous Materials").

     c.   Tenant shall not keep any trash, garbage, waste, or other refuse on
          the Premises except in sanitary containers and shall regularly and
          frequently remove the same from the Premises. Tenant shall keep all
          incinerators, containers, or other equipment used for the storage or
          disposal of such matter in a clean and sanitary condition. Tenant
          shall properly dispose of all sanitary sewage and shall not use the
          sewage disposal system of the Building (i) for the disposal of
          anything except sanitary sewage, or (ii) in excess of the lesser of
          the amount (1) reasonably contemplated by the uses permitted under the
          Lease or (2) permitted by any governmental entity.

     d.   Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, comply with all existing and
          any hereinafter enacted Hazardous Materials laws. Tenant shall, at
          Tenant's own expense, make all submissions to, provide all information
          to, and comply with all requirements of the appropriate governmental
          authority (the "Authority") under all Hazardous Materials laws. In
          particular, Tenant shall comply with all laws relating to the storage,
          use, and disposal of Hazardous Materials. Should any

                                       18
<PAGE>

          Authority require that a clean up or remediation plan be prepared or
          that a clean up or any other remediation action be undertaken because
          of any spills or discharges of Hazardous Materials at the premises or
          on the underlying or adjacent property that occur during the term of
          the Lease, or after expiration of the Lease if as a result of Tenant's
          use of the Premises, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense,
          prepare and submit the required plans and financial assurances, and
          carry out the approved plans. At no expense to Landlord, Tenant shall
          promptly provide all information requested by Landlord for preparation
          of affidavits required by Landlord or for Landlord's own information,
          to determine the applicability of the Hazardous Materials laws to the
          Premises and shall sign affidavits promptly when requested to do so by
          Landlord.

     e.   Tenant shall Indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and
          against any and all claims, demands, judgments, damages, actions,
          causes of action, injuries, administrative orders, consent agreements
          and orders, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses of any kind
          whatsoever, including but not limited to claims arising out of loss of
          life, injury to persons, property, or business, or damage to natural
          resources, in connection with or arising out of any spills or
          discharges of Hazardous Materials due to, contributed to, or caused by
          the activities of Tenant, its predecessors-in-interest, third parties
          who have trespassed on the Premises during this Lease, or parties in
          contractual relationship with Tenant, or any of them, that occur
          during the term of this Lease; and from all claims, demands,
          judgments, damages, actions, causes of action, injuries,
          administrative orders, consent agreements and orders, liabilities,
          penalties, costs, and expenses of any kind whatsoever, including but
          not limited to claims arising out of Tenant's failure to provide all
          information, make all submissions, and take all steps required by any
          Authority under any Hazardous Materials laws or any other
          environmental law. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of
          this Lease, Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this paragraph
          shall continue so long as Landlord continues to own the Building or
          any portion thereof or otherwise remains responsible for any Hazardous
          Materials on the Premises.

     f.   Tenant shall surrender the Premises at the expiration or termination
          of the Lease free of any Hazardous Materials or contamination, and
          free and clear of all judgments, liens, or encumbrances and shall, at
          its own cost and expense, repair all damage and clean up or perform
          any remedial action necessary relating to any Hazardous Materials or
          contamination caused by Tenant's operation. Tenant shall, at its sole
          cost and expense, remove any alterations or improvements that may be
          contaminated or contain Hazardous Materials.

31.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

     a.   PLATS AND RIDERS. Clauses, plats, and riders, if any, signed by
          Landlord and Tenant and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a
          part hereof.

     b.   WAIVER. The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant, or condition
          herein contained shall not be a waiver of such term, covenant, or
          condition on any subsequent breach. The subsequent acceptance of rent
          hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
          preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, or condition of this
          Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental
          so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding
          breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

     c.   NOTICES. All notices and demands which may or are to be required or
          permitted to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be
          in writing. All notices and demands by Landlord to Tenant shall be
          sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Tenant
          at the address set forth on page 1., subparagraph 1.g., or to such
          other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to
          Landlord. All notices and demands by Tenant to Landlord shall be sent
          by United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Landlord at
          the address set forth on page 1, subparagraph l.f., or to such other
          person or place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a
          notice to Tenant. All notices shall be deemed to be served upon
          personal delivery or two (2) days after mailing in the manner required
          by this paragraph.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     d.   JOINT OBLIGATION. If Tenant hereunder consists of more than one party,
          the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and
          several.

     e.   MARGINAL HEADINGS. The marginal headings and article titles to the
          paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have
          no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

     f.   TIME. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
          provisions in which performance is a factor.

     g.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and conditions herein contained,
          subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the
          heirs, successors, executors, administrators, and assigns of the
          parties hereto.

     h.   RECORDATION. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any other document
          relating to this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord.
          Landlord may require Tenant [illegible] to execute a Memorandum of
          Lease, and may record one at any time.

     i.   QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Tenant's paying the rent reserved hereunder and
          observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions, and
          provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder,
          Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term
          hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.

     j.   LATE CHARGES / RETURNED CHECKS. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late
          payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will
          cause Landlord 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 upon Landlord by terms
          of any trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
          installment of base rent or of any amount due from Tenant shall not be
          received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after
          the date that said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
          late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The
          parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and
          reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of
          the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the
          Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default
          with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from
          exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In
          addition, all sums due hereunder shall bear interest from the date due
          through the date paid in full at a rate equal to the lesser of the
          following: (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum rate
          then allowed by the California usury law. This paragraph shall not be
          construed as creating a grace period for the payment of base rent or
          other sums due to Landlord. All sums are due as and when required by
          this Lease and upon any default by Tenant, Landlord may immediately
          pursue any available remedies. In addition to such late charges,
          Tenant shall pay Landlord $25.00 (in addition to other sums owed) if
          for any reason a check given by Tenant to Landlord in payment of any
          amount owing to Landlord is dishonored.

     k.   PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Lease contains all of the agreements of the
          parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this
          Lease, and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such
          matters shall be effective for any purposes. No provisions of this
          Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing
          signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in
          interest. This Lease shall not be effective or binding on any party
          until fully executed by both parties hereto.

     l.   INABILITY TO PERFORM. This Lease and the obligations of the Tenant
          hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable
          to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so
          if such inability or delay is caused by reasons of strike, labor
          troubles, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable
          control of Landlord.

                                       20
<PAGE>

     m.   ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any action or proceeding is brought by either
          party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall
          be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including the fees of
          its attorneys in such action or proceeding in such amount as the court
          may adjudge reasonable as attorney's fees.

     n.   SALE OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD. In the event of any sale of the
          Building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved
          of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations
          contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act,
          occurrence, or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale;
          and the purchaser at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises
          shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or
          their successors in interest or between the parties and any such
          purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the
          covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

     o.   SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will in
          writing subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any deed of
          trust now or hereafter in force against the land and Building of which
          the Premises are a part and upon any buildings hereafter placed upon
          the land of which the Premises are a part and to all advances made or
          hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. In the event any
          proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the
          exercise of the power of sale under any deed of trust made by the
          Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser
          upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
          Landlord under this Lease. Tenant further agrees to execute any
          documents required to effectuate an attornment or a subordination.
          Tenant's failure to execute such documents within ten days after
          written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant
          hereunder, or, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall execute such
          documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant
          does hereby make, constitute, and irrevocably appoint Landlord as
          Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place, and stead to
          execute such documents in accordance with this subparagraph 30.(o).
          The provisions of this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, and
          so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, this Lease shall remain
          in full force and effect for the full term hereof.

     p.   NAME. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or of the
          development in which the Building is situated for any purpose other
          than as an address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the
          Premises.

     q.   SEPARABILITY. Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be
          invalid, void, or illegal shall in no way affect, impair, or
          invalidate any other provision hereof and such other provision shall
          remain in full force and effect.

     r.   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.

     s.   CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
          of California. Proper venue for any action shall be in San Diego,
          California.

     t.   SIGNS AND AUCTIONS. Tenant shall not place any sign upon the Premises
          or Building or conduct any auction thereon without Landlord's prior
          written consent.

     u.   BROKERS. The parties recognize that the brokers who negotiated this
          Lease are the brokers whose names are stated in paragraph 1,
          subparagraph l.p. and agree that Landlord shall be solely responsible
          for the payment of brokerage commissions to said brokers, and that
          Tenant shall have no responsibility therefor. If Tenant has dealt with
          any other person or real estate broker with respect to leasing or
          renting space in the Building, Tenant shall be solely responsible for
          the payment of any fee due said person or firm and Tenant shall hold
          Landlord free and harmless against any liability in respect thereto,
          including attorney's fees and costs.

                                       21
<PAGE>

     v.   RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
          deemed or construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, or any
          other relationship between the parties hereto other than Landlord and
          Tenant according to the provisions contained herein, or cause Landlord
          to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of Tenant,
          or any other party.

     w.   LENDER'S REQUIREMENTS. If, in connection with any future mortgage
          financing of Landlord's interest in the Premises or the Building, or
          any part thereof or any interest therein, a bank, insurance company,
          or other recognized institutional lender or real estate investment
          trust requests reasonable modifications of this Lease as a condition
          of such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay, or
          defer its consent thereto.

     x.   NO THIRD PARTY BENEFIT. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
          provisions of this Lease are for the sole benefit of Landlord and
          Tenant, and not for the benefit, directly or indirectly, of any other
          person or entity, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     y.   ADDITIONAL RENT. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
          the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be additional rent due
          hereunder.

     z.   COMMISSIONS. If, after one year from the commencement of the term of
          this Lease or upon the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant
          either (i) exercises an option (if any) to extend the term of this

6.   Option to Renew:

     a)   Landlord grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of this Lease
          (the "Renewal Option") with respect to all of the rentable area of the
          Premises leased by Tenant as of the expiration of the initial term of
          the Lease for an additional sixty (60) months (the "Renewal Term").
          The Renewal Term shall commence immediately following the expiration
          of the initial term of the Lease. The Renewal Option shall be
          exercised, if at all, by notice to Landlord at any time during the

               the base rent for the Renewal Term shall

                                       25
<PAGE>

               be equal to the Prevailing Market Rental for space comparable to
               the Premises in the San Diego, California area as of the date of
               commencement of the Renewal Term, provided that Tenant shall be
               entitled to a refurbishment allowance of $5.00 per usable square
               foot of the Premises at the commencement of the Renewal Term. The
               term "Prevailing Market Rental" shall mean the base annual rental
               for such comparable space, taking into account any additional
               rental and all other monetary payments and escalations payable
               under the Lease and by tenants under leases of such comparable
               space, and any tenant improvements and other concessions granted
               to Tenant and tenants under leases of such comparable space. Such
               base rent shall be determined by Landlord not later than six (6)
               months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. If Tenant
               disputes Landlord's termination of the Prevailing Market Rental
               for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall send to Landlord a notice,
               within twenty (20) days after the date of Landlord's notice
               setting forth the Prevailing Market Rental for the Renewal Term,
               which notice shall state that Tenant either (x) agrees with
               Landlord's determination of Prevailing Market Rental for the
               Renewal Term or (y) disagrees with Landlord's determination of
               Prevailing Market Rental for the Renewal Term and elects to
               resolve the disagreement as provided in Paragraph 6.b.ii. below.
               Tenant's monthly payments of base rent shall be in an amount not
               less than the base rent payable for the twelve (12) month period
               immediately preceding the commencement of the Renewal Term.
               Within ten (10) business days following the resolution of such
               dispute by the parties or the decision of the brokers, as
               applicable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any
               deficiency in the base rent theretofore paid. Notwithstanding
               anything to the contrary set forth in this Paragraph 6, in no
               event shall the base rent for any Renewal Term be less than the
               effective base rent payable for the twelve (12) month period
               immediately preceding the commencement of the Renewal Term.
               Tenant shall in any event pay all applicable additional charges
               with respect to the Premises, in the manner and at the times
               provided in this Lease, effective upon the commencement of the
               Renewal Term, and notwithstanding any dispute regarding the base
               rent for the Renewal Term.

          ii)  Any disagreement regarding the Prevailing Market Rental as
               defined in this Paragraph 6 shall be resolved as follows:

               a)   Within twenty (20) days after Tenant's response to
                    Landlord's notice to Tenant of the Prevailing Market Rental,
                    Landlord and Tenant shall meet no less than two (2) times,
                    at a mutually agreeable time and place, to attempt to
                    resolve any such disagreement.

               b)   If, within the twenty (20) day consultation period, Landlord
                    and Tenant cannot reach an agreement as to the Prevailing
                    Market Rental, they shall each select one broker to
                    determine the Prevailing Market Rental. Each such broker
                    shall arrive at a determination of the Prevailing Market
                    Rental and submit their conclusions to Landlord and Tenant
                    within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the twenty
                    (20) day consultation period.

               c)   If only one determination is submitted within the requisite
                    time period, it shall be deemed to be the Prevailing Market
                    Rental. If both determinations are submitted within such
                    time period and such terminations differ, then the two
                    brokers shall immediately select a third broker and submit
                    their determinations to such third broker. Such third broker
                    shall, within thirty (30) days after his or her selection,
                    determine in writing which determination of the Prevailing
                    Market Rate is correct or closest to being correct, and such
                    determination shall be the Prevailing Market Rate. The
                    determination of such third broker shall be conclusive and
                    binding on the parties.

          iii) All brokers specified pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be real
               estate brokers licensed and in good standing with the State of
               California with not less than ten (10) years experience

                                       26
<PAGE>

               in commercial property leasing in the San Diego, California area.
               Each party shall pay the cost of the broker selected by such
               party and one-half of the cost of the third broker plus one-half
               of any other costs incurred in resolving the disagreement
               pursuant to this Paragraph 6.

     provide Tenant with continuous (twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7)
     days per week) heating, ventilating and air conditioning, at Landlord's
     expense, to the 600-650 square foot computer room on the Premises, such

     efforts to provide Tenant with a non-disturbance agreement.

10.  Lease Termination: Should Landlord not be able to accommodate Tenant's
     future anticipated growth of 125% or more in comparable space within the
     Sunroad Plaza project, then Tenant shall be granted the one-time right to
     terminate this Lease at the end of the 36th month of the initial lease
     term. Tenant must notify Landlord, in writing, of Tenant's intent to
     terminate no later than the end of the 30th month of the initial lease
     term. Upon Tenant giving Landlord notice of its intent to terminate the
     Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an amount equal to all unamortized
     (i) tenant improvements, (ii) brokerage commissions, and (iii) rent
     differential between the effective rent over the 5-year term and the
     average rent paid during the first three (3) years of the term. An annual
     interest rate of 12% shall be utilized in calculating the unamortized costs
     discussed above.
