Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided
herein, any statement of square footage set forth in this Lease, or that may
have been used in calculating rental, is an approximation which Lessor and
Lessee agree is reasonable and the rental based thereon is not subject to
revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.

     2.2  Condition. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on the Commencement Date and warrants to Lessee that the premises,
including, without limitation, the roof, structural elements of the Building and
all building systems serving the Premises, including, without limitation,
electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler system, lighting, air conditioning,
heating, and loading doors, if any, in the Premises, other than those
constructed by Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with
specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same at
Lessor's expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of a non-
compliance with this warranty within thirty (30) days after the Commencement
Date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost and expense.

     2.3  Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code. Lessor
warrants to Lessee that the Premises and improvements on the Premises comply
with all applicable covenants or restrictions of record and applicable building
codes, regulations and ordinances in effect on the Commencement Date. Said
warranty does not apply to the specific use to which Lessee will put the
Premises or to any Alterations or Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph
7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. If the Premises do not comply with said
warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly
after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the
nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor's expense.

     2.4  Acceptance of Premises. Lessee hereby acknowledges: (a) that it has
been advised by the Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of
the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical and fire sprinkler
systems, security, environmental aspects, compliance with Applicable Law, as
defined in Paragraph 6.3) and the present and future suitability of the Premises
for Lessee's intended use, (b) that Lessee has made such investigation as it
deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility
therefor as the same relate to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises and/or the
term of this Lease, and (c) that neither Lessor, nor any of Lessor's agents, has
made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to the said
matters other than as set forth in this Lease.

     2.5  Operating Expenses. Prior to the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall
have provided Lessee with a breakdown of current operating expenses relating to
the Premises for which Lessee shall be responsible in addition to the Monthly
Base Rent. Lessee shall be responsible for paying any actual increases in said
operating expenses which occur during the initial term, and the option term if
the option to extend is exercised.

                                       2.


<PAGE>

     2.6  Parking. Lessee shall have the right to the use of one hundred twenty
(120) parking spaces in the parking lot adjacent to the building.

3.   Term.

     3.1  Term. The Commencement Date, expiration Date and Original Term of this
Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.

     3.2  Early Possession. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises
prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated
for the period of such early possession. All other terms of this Lease, however,
(including but not limited to the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and
insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall be in effect during such
period. Any such early possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration
Date of the Original Term.

     3.3  Option.

     (a)  Lessee shall have an option to extend the term of the Lease for an
additional five (5) year term commencing on the day following the Expiration
Date, subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, except that (1)
there shall be no additional options to extend, and (2) the Base Monthly Rent
for the option period shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair
market rent of the Premises as of the commencement date of the option extension
period, but the Base Monthly Rent shall not be less than $27,515 per month, (the
"Option Base Monthly Rent"). The Option Base Monthly Rent for the Premises shall
be determined by comparison with base monthly rents being obtained under new
leases of premises in similar office buildings located in the Palo Alto area.
The Option Base Monthly Rent for the option extension period (and rental
adjustments during the option term, if any) shall be determined by agreement
between the Lessor and Lessee, if possible, and by the process of appraisal if
the parties cannot reach agreement.

     (b)  At lease six (6) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior
to the expiration of the initial term, Lessee shall deliver written notice to
Lessor of Lessee's exercise of its option to extend the Lease Term. If Lessee
fails to give such written notice of exercise within said period, said option
shall automatically lapse, time being of the essence with respect to the
exercise of the option. If Lessee gives such notice, the parties shall then
attempt to in good faith to agree upon the Option Base Monthly Rent within
thirty (30) days. If Lessor and Lessee reach such agreement, Lessor and Lessee
shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease stating the amount of Option
Base Monthly Rent for the Premises during the option extension period (including
rental adjustments, if any).

     (c)  If after the expiration of said thirty (30) day period the parties
have not reached agreement as to the Option Base Monthly Rent for the Premises,
then the Option Base Monthly Rent shall be determined by appraisal in accordance
with the then customary practice in the Santa Clara County industrial/commercial
real estate industry for determining rent for option periods by appraisal.

     (d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph,
if the Option Base Monthly Rent is determined by appraisal and if Lessee does
not, in its sole discretion, approve the rental amount established by such
appraisal, Lessee may rescind its exercise of the option by giving Lessor
written notice of such election to rescind within ten (10) days after receipt of
the results of appraisal. If Lessee rescinds its exercise of the option, then
(I) the Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after Lessee's notice
of rescission or on the date the Lease would have otherwise terminated absent
Lessee's exercise of the option, whichever date is later; and (ii) Lessee shall
pay all costs and expenses of the appraisal.

4.   Rent.

     4.1  Base Rent. Lessee shall cause payment of Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time as herein provided to be
received by Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or
deduction, on or before the day on which it is due under the terms of this
Lease. Base Rent and all other rent and charges for any period during the term
hereof which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated
based upon the actual number of days of the calendar month involved. Payment of
Base Rent and other

                                       3.


<PAGE>

charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other
persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in
writing to Lessee.

5.   Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Lessee's
faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may use, apply or retain
all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due
Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense,
loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by
reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security
Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor
deposit moneys with Lessor Sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the
full amount required by this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or
any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Lessor
shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and after
Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to
the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the
Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered
to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be
prepayment for any moneys to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

6.   Use.

     6.1  Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the purposes
set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other use which is comparable thereto, and
for no other purpose unless approved in writing by Lessor, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the
Premises in a manner that creates waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners
and/or occupants of, or causes damage to, neighboring premises or properties.
Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any
written request by Lessee, Lessees assignees or subtenants, and by prospective
assignees and subtenants of the Lessee, its assignees and subtenants, for a
modification of said permitted purpose for which the premises may be used or
occupied, so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the
improvements on the Premises, the mechanical or electrical systems therein, is
not significantly more burdensome to the Premises and the improvements thereon,
and is otherwise permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to
withhold such consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days give a written
notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's
reasonable objections to the change in use.

     6.2  Hazardous Substances.

     (a)  Definition; covenant by Lessee. The term "Hazardous Substance" as used
in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material, or waste
whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect, either by
itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is
either (i) regulated or monitored by any governmental authority, or (ii) a basis
for liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any
applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but
not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products,
by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not cause any contamination or
damage to the Premises or the neighboring properties or cause Lessor to incur
any liability, loss, or damage as a result of the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal by Lessee of any Hazardous Substances
in the conduct of Lessee's business on the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior consent, but in compliance with
all Applicable Law, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required
to be used by Lessee in the normal course of Lessee's business permitted on the
Premises, so long as such use does not expose the Premises or neighboring
properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to
any liability therefor. Prior to the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor a list of the Hazardous Substances which Lessee
considers to be ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used
by Lessee in the normal course of Lessee's permitted use of the Premises. If
Lessor concurs therewith, Lessor shall so confirm in writing to Lessee, and such
confirmation shall constitute Lessor's consent to the existence, use,
manufacture, storage, and transportation of such Hazardous Substances in, on,
and about the Premises during the term of this Lease.

                                       4.

6.2 shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or
injury to person, property, or the environment created by Lessee, and the cost
of investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fee), testing, removal,
remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination
therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. No termination, cancellation, or release agreement entered into by
Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from Lessee's obligations under this
Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances or storage tanks, unless specifically
so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.

          (ii)  Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that to the best of
Lessor's knowledge there are no Hazardous Substances located in, on, under, or
about the Premises as of the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease. Lessee

of Lessee or its agents, contractors, or employees.

     (d)  Lessee's Compliance with Law. Except as otherwise provided in the

structural alternations to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof)
without Lessor's consent as long as they are not visible from the outside, do
not involve puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls,
and the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does
not exceed $25,000.

          (b)  Consent. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee
shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with proposed detailed plans. All consents
given by Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific
consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable
permits required by governmental authorities, (ii) the furnishing of copies of
such permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications of the
Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work
thereon, and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits
in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations by
Lessee during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike
manner, with good and sufficient materials, and in compliance with all
Applicable Law. Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor
with as-built plans and specifications therefor. Lessor may (but without
obligation to do so) condition its consent to any requested Alteration or
Utility Installation that costs $10,000 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor
with a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's
posting an additional Security Deposit with Lessor under Paragraph 36 hereof.

          (c)  Indemnification. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor
or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or
for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post
notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If
Lessee shall, in good faith, content the validity of any such lien, claim or
demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor
and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse
judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the
Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the amount of such contested lien claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor
against liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay

                                       7.


<PAGE>

Lessor's attorney's fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.

     7.4  Ownership; Removal; Surrender; and Restoration.

          (a)  Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require their removal or
become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided in this Paragraph 7.4, all
Alterations and Utility Additions made to the Premises by Lessee shall be the
property of and owned by Lessee. Unless otherwise instructed per subparagraph
7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, become the property of
Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises.

          (b)  Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may require
that any or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding their
installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require the
removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or
Utility Installations made without the required consent of Lessor. Upon request,
Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing whether it reserves the right to require
Lessee to remove any Alterations or Utility Installations from the Premises upon
termination of the Lease.

          (c)  Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the
end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, with all
of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris and in
good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear,
acts of God, casualties, condemnation, Hazardous Substances (other than those
stored, used or disposed of by Lessee in or about the Premises), and Alterations
or Utility Installations which Lessor states in writing may be surrendered at
the termination of the Lease excepted. "Ordinary wear and tear" shall not
include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good
maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this
Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified in writing by Lessor, the
Premises, as surrendered, shall include the Utility Installations. The
obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the
installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, and Alterations and/or Utility Installations, as well as the removal
of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or
remediation of any soil, material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as
may then be required by Applicable Law and/or good service practice. Lessee's
Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this
Lease.

8.   Insurance; Indemnity.

     8.1  Payment for Insurance. Regardless of whether the Lessor Lessee is the
Insuring Party, Lessee shall pay for all insurance required under this Paragraph
8 except to the extent of the cost attributable to liability insurance carried
by Lessor in excess of $3,000,000 per occurrence. Premiums for policy periods
commencing prior to or extending beyond the Lease term shall be prorated to
correspond to the Lease term. Payment shall be made by Lessee to Lessor within
ten (10) days following receipt of an invoice for any amount due.

     8.2  Liability Insurance.

          (a)  Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance
protecting Lessee and Lessor (as an additional insured) against claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and
all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis
providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $3,000,000 per
occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises"
Endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" for damage
caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain
any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but
shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured
contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this
Lease. The limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by
Lessee shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of
any obligation hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary
to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose
insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.

                                       8.


<PAGE>

          (b)  Carried by Lessor. In the event Lessor is in the Insuring Party,
Lessor shall also maintain liability insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a),
above, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be
maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured
therein.

     8.3  Property Insurance - Building, Improvements and Rental Value.

          (a)  Building and Improvements. The Insuring Party shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to the holders of any mortgages, deeds
of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lender(s)"), insuring loss or damage
to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full
replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or
the amount required by Lenders, but in no event more than the commercially
reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique
nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full
replacement cost. If Lessor is the Insuring Party, however, Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph
8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and commercially
appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct
physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless
required by a Lender), including coverage for any additional costs resulting
from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of
any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any
undamaged sections of the Premises required to be demolished or removed by
reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered cause of loss. Said policy or policies shall also
contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver
of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the
City nearest to where the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a
deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence,
and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an Insured
Loss, as defined in Paragraph 9.1(c).

          (b)  Rental Value. The Insuring Party shall, in addition, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full
rental and other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease for one
(1) year (including all real estate taxes, insurance costs, and any scheduled
rental increases). Said insurance shall provide that in the event the Lease is
terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for such
coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
property taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise
payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be liable
for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

          (c)  Tenant's Improvements. If the Lessor is the Insuring Party, the
Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, the policy
carried by Lessee under this Paragraph 8.3 shall insure Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations.

     8.4  Lessee's Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph
8.3, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or Lessee's option, by
endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance coverage on all of
Lessee's personal property, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Tenant Improvements in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to
that carried by the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3. Such insurance shall be
full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property or the restoration of Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations. Lessee shall be the Insuring Party with respect to
the insurance required by this Paragraph 8.4 and shall provide Lessor with
written evidence that such insurance is in force.

     8.5  Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies
duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are located,
and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating" of at
least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender having a lien
on the

                                       9.


<PAGE>

Premises, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide."
Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the
insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph 8. If Lessee is the Insuring
Party, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor certified copies of policies
of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such
insurance with the insureds and loss payable clauses as required by this Lease.
No such policy shall be cancellable or subject to modification except after
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence
of renewals or "insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may
order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall
be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. If the Insuring Party shall fail to
procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by the Insuring Party
under this Paragraph 8, the other Party may, but shall not be required to,
procure and maintain the same, but at Lessee's expense.

     8.6  Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto release each other and their
respective agents, employees, successors, assignees and subtenants from all
liability for injury to any person or damage to any property that is caused by
or results from a risk which is actually insured against, which is required to
be insured against under this Lease, or which would normally be covered by the
standard form of "all risk-extended coverage" casualty insurance, without regard
to the negligence or willful misconduct of the entity so released. Each party
shall use its best efforts to cause each insurance policy it obtains to provide
that the insurer thereunder waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation
as required herein in connection with any injury or damage covered by the
policy. If such insurance policy cannot be obtained with such waiver of
subrogation, or if such waiver of subrogation is only available at additional
cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver is not obtained does not pay
such additional cost, then the party obtaining such insurance shall immediately
notify the other party of that fact.

     8.7  Indemnity. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of express
warranties or other provisions of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agents,
employees, licensees or invitees, and subject to Paragraph 8.6 above, Lessee
shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless, Lessor and its agents,
Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and
all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, costs, liens, judgments, penalties,
permits, attorney's and consultant's fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising
out of, involving, or in dealing with use of the Premises by Lessee, negligence
or willful misconduct of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees,
and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a timely manner
of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this Lease. The
foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or pursuit of any
claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether or not (in the
case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to judgment, and
whether well founded or not. In case any action or proceeding be brought against
Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon notice from Lessor
shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not
have first paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified.

     8.8  Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or
results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not.
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of
this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's
business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.

9.   Damage or Destruction.

     9.1  Definitions.

          (a)  "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction to the
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility

                                      10.


<PAGE>

Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than 50%
of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.

          (b)  "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is 50% or more of the then
Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.

          (c)  "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements
on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described
in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits
involved.

          (d)  "Replacement Cost"  shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances or
laws, and without deduction for depreciation.

          (e)  "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on , or under the
Premises.

     9.2  Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an
Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage
(but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor's
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair
of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make the insurance
proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis of that purpose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the
insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring Party
shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to the deductible
which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to complete said repairs.
In the event, however, the shortage in proceeds was due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost insurance
coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no
obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the
unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to
cover same, or adequate insurance thereof, within ten (10) days following
receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor
receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day
period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor
paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If in such case Lessor does not so elect, then this Lease
shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the damage or
destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any right to
reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such
damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall
be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2 notwithstanding that there
may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall
be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.

     9.3  Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss.  If a Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option, either:  (i) repair
such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice
to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the
occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the
date sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice.  In the event Lessor
elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee
shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to
give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of
such

                                      11.


<PAGE>

damage totally at Lessee's expense and without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with the required funds or satisfactory assurance thereof
within thirty (30) days following Lessee's said commitment. In such event this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make
such repairs as soon as reasonably possible and the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the funds or
assurance thereof within the time specified above, this Lease shall terminate as
of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.

     9.4  Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 8.6.

     9.5  Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last six (6) months
of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds
one (1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by, within twenty (20) days following the occurrence of the damage, or
before the expiration of the time provided in such option for its exercise,
whichever is earlier ("Exercise Period"), (i) exercising such option and (ii)
providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance
thereof) needed to make the repairs. If Lessee duly exercises such option during
said Exercise Period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance
thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds. Lessor shall, at Lessor's
expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and
provide such funds or assurance during said Exercise Period, then Lessor may at
Lessor's option terminate this Lease as of the expiration of said sixty (60) day
period following the occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to
Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days after the expiration
of the Exercise Period, notwithstanding any term or provision in the grant of
option to the contrary.

     9.6  Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.

          (a)  In the event of damage described in Paragraph 9.2 (Partial Damage
- Insured), whether or not Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the Premises,
the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and other charges, if
any, payable by Lessee hereunder of the period during which such damage, its
repair of the restoration continues (not to exceed the period for which rental
value insurance is required under Paragraph 8.3(b)), shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the premises is impaired.
Except for abatement of Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and
other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder
shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for
any damage suffered by reason of any such repair or restoration.

          (b)  If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises
under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair of restoration of the Premises within
ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time
prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to
Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election
to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the
giving of such notice.  If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice.  If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.  "Commence" as used in this Paragraph shall
mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required
plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first
occurs.

     9.7  Hazardous Substance Conditions. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof

                                      12.


<PAGE>

required by Applicable Law and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 13), Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance
Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written
notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of
the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the giving of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the investigation and remediation of such Hazardous Substance
Condition totally at Lessee's expense and without reimbursement from Lessor
except to the extent of an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly
Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty
(30) days following Lessee's said commitment. In such even this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such
investigation and remediation as soon as reasonably possible and the required
funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the
required funds or assurance thereof within the times specified above, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination. If a
Hazardous Substance Condition occurs for which Lessee is not legally
responsible, there shall be abatement of Lessee's obligations under this Lease
to the same extent as provided in Paragraph 9.6(a) for a period of not to exceed
twelve (12) months.

     9.8  Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor.
Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's Surety Deposit
as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms
of this Lease.

     9.9  Waive Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any
present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.

10.  Real Property Taxes.

     10.1 (a)  Payment of Taxes.  Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease.  Subject to Paragraph 10.19b), all such payment shall be made at least
ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of the applicable installment.  Upon
Lessor's request, Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory
evidence that such taxes have been paid.  If any such taxes to be paid by Lessee
shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration or earlier
termination of the term hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be equitably
prorated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year this Lease
is in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment after such
proration.  If Lessee shall fail to pay any Real Property Taxes required by this
Lease to be paid by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, and
Lessees shall reimburse Lessor therefor upon demand.

     10.2 Definition of "Real Property Taxes."  As used herein, the term "Real
Property Taxes" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income, gift transfer or estate taxes) imposed upon the Premises by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state
or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which
the Premises are a part.  Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and/or Lessor's business of leasing the Premises.  The term "Real Property
Taxes" shall also include any tax, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase
therein,  imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in applicable law
taking effect, during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to a
change in the ownership of the Premises or in the improvements thereon, the
execution of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and
whether or not contemplated by the Parties.

     10.3 Joint Assessment.  If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
of all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel

                                      13.

assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good
faith, shall be conclusive.

     10.4 Personal Property Taxes.  Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere.  When possible, Lessee shall
cause its Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.  If any
of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real
property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee within ten
(10) days ___________ to delinquency thereof as stated in a written statement
setting for the taxes applicable to Lessee's property or, at Lessor's option, as
provided in Paragraph 10.1(b).

11.  Utilities.  Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon.

12.  Assignment and Subletting.

     12.1 Lessor's Consent Required.

          (a)  Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign,
transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively,
"assignment") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in
the Premises without Lessor's prior consent given under and subject to the terms
of Paragraph 36.

          (b)  Lessee may, without Lessor's prior written consent and without
any participation by Lessor in assignment and subletting proceeds, sublet the
Premises or assign the Lease to: (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or
corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Lessee; (ii)
a successor corporation related to Lessee by merger, consolidation,
nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action; (iii) a purchaser of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located in the Premises. Any such sublease
shall expressly state therein that such sublease shall be subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease. The assignee in any such assignment shall
expressly assume in writing for the benefit of Lessor all of the obligations of
the Lessee under this Lease. Executed counterparts of the foregoing sublease or
assignment documents shall be delivered to Lessor upon request. For the purposes
of this Lease, sale or transfer of Lessee's capital stock through any public
exchange, shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or any other transfer
of the Lease or the Premises.

          (c)  Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and injunctive relief.

     12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

          (a)  Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting
shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such
assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) after the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.

          (b)  Lessor may accept any rent of performance of Lessee's obligations
from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an
assignment.  Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by
Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

          (c)  The consent of Lessor to any assignment of subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee.
However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the
sublease or any

                                      14.


<PAGE>

amendments or modifications thereto if Lessor notifies Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and obtains their consent, and such action shall
not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or sublease.

          (d)  In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or
any one else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any
security held by Lessor or Lessee.

          (e)  Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be
in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to
the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposes
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable
deposit of $500 as reasonable consideration for Lessor's considering and
processing the request for consent.  Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such
other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor.

          (f)  Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason
of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.

     12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting.  The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

          (a)  Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion
of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect
such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1)
shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease.  Lessee
may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the
rents accruing under such sublease.  Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any
other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the collection of
the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee
under such sublease.  Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach
exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to
Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor and shall
pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any obligation or right to
inquire as to whether such Breach exists and notwithstanding any notice from or
claim from Lessee to the contrary.  Lessee shall have no right or claim against
said sublessee, or, until the Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any
such rents and other charges so paid by said sublessee to Lessor unless received
by Lessor.

          (b)  In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
to do so, may require any sublease to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of the subleasor under such sublease from the
time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit ;aid by such subleases to such sublessor  for any other prior Defaults
or Breaches of such subleasor under such sublease.

          (c)  Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under
a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.

          (d)  No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.

          (e)  Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by
Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice.  The

                                      15.


<PAGE>

sublessee shall have a right to reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.

13.  Default; Breach; Remedies.

     13.1 Default; Breach.  A "Default" is defined as a failure by the Lessee
to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease.  A "Breach is defined as the
occurrence of any one or more of the following Defaults, and, where a grace
period for cure after notice is specified herein, the failure by Lessee to cure
such Default prior to the expiration of the applicable grace period, shall
entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.1:

          (a)  The vacating of the Premises without payment of Rent or
performance of Lessee's other obligations hereunder.

          (b)  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent or any other monetary payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor to a third party, as
and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable evidence
of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, where such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice thereof by or
on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

          (c)  A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
that are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on behalf of
Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's  Default is
such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if Lessee
commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion.

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

          (e)  The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder was
materially false. (intentionally??)

     13.2 Remedies.  In the event of a Breach of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor
may at its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or
obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of
reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits
or approvals.  The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor.  If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made under this
Lease by Lessee to be made only by cashier's check.  In the event of a Breach of
this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, with or without further
notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or
remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:

          (a)  Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time
of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of
termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds

                                      16.


<PAGE>

the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; (iii) 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 Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv)
any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment
proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform it obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the
Premises, expenses of reletting including necessary renovation and alteration of
the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of the leasing
commission paid by Lessor applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The
worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the
prior sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate
of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the item of award plus one
percent (1%) Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or
Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under
this Paragraph. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may
reserve therein the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit
for such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under
subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent
or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee under any
statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also
constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by
subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period
under subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) and under the unlawful detainer statute
shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of
Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods
shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitle
Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

          (b)  Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and
abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations.  See
Paragraphs 12 and 36 for the limitations on assignment and subletting which
limitations Lessee and Lessor agree are reasonable.  Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to
protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease, shall not constitute a
termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

          (c)  Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws of judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located.

          (d)  The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring
or accruing during the term hereof prior to such termination or by reason of
Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

     13.3 [deleted]

     13.4 Late Charges.  Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within 10 (ten) day after receipt
by Lessee of written notice from Lessor that such amount shall be due, then
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such
overdue amount.  The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late
payment by Lessee.  Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue
amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
granted hereunder.  In the even that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether
or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any of the provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.

     13.5 Breach by Lessor.  Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor.  For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by the holders of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have

                                      17.


<PAGE>

been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying
wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however,
that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30)
days after such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor
shall not be in breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

14.  Condemnation.  If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs.  If the portion of the Premises taken by
condemnation materially impairs Lessee's use and occupancy of the Premises,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession.  If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the building located on the Premises
and Rent shall be further equitably abated during any restoration of the
Premises.  No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the only portion of the
Premises taken is land on which there is no building.  Any award for the taking
of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any
payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of
Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value
of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages;
provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation separately
awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade
Fixtures any tenant improvements constructed by Lessee solely at Lessee's
expense and Lessee's personal property.  In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its net
severance damages received, over and above the legal and other expenses incurred
by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such condemnation, except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority.  Lessee shall be responsible for the
payment of any amount in excess of such net severance damages required to
complete such repair to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by
the condemning authority.

15.  Broker's Fee.

     15.1 The Brokers named in Paragraph 1.10 are the procuring causes of this
Lease.

     15.2 Upon execution of this Lease by both Parties, Lessor shall pay to
said Brokers jointly, or in such separate shares as they may mutually designate
in writing, a fee as set forth in a separate written agreement between Lessor
and said Brokers.

     15.3 Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has
had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers,
if any named in Paragraph 1.10) in connection with the negotiation of this Lease
and/or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and that no
broker or other person, firm or entity other than said named brokers is entitled
to any commission or finder's fee in connection with said transaction.  Lessee
and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other
harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be
claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party to reason of
any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs,
expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

     15.4 Lessor and Lessee hereby consent to and approve all agency
relationships, including any dual agencies, indicated in Paragraph 1.10.

16.  Tenancy Statement

     16.1 Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within ten (10) business
days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party") execute,
certifying:  (1) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been
changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (2)
that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (3) the last date of
payment of Base Rent and other charges and the time period

                                      18.


<PAGE>

covered by such payment; and (4) that, to the party's actual current knowledge,
the other party is not in default under this Lease (of if the other party is
claimed to be in default, stating why).

     16.2 If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, any
part thereof, or the building of which the Premises are a part, Lessee shall
deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such available
financial statements of Lessee may be reasonably required by such lender or
purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's financial statements for the
past three (3) years if available.  All such financial statements shall be
received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used
only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.  Lessor's Liability.  The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the owner
or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this
is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease.  In the event of a
transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease, Lessor
shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused
Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or assignment.
Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such transfer or assignment and
delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be
relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under
this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.  Subject to the foregoing,
the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor
shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.

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

19.  Interest on Past-Due Obligations.  Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within thirty (30)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
thirty-first (31st) day after it was due to at the rate of 8% per annum, but not
exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.  Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.

21.  Rent Defined.  All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.

22.  No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer.  This Lease, the Addenda,
work letter, and any other exhibits contain all agreements between the Parties
with respect to any matter mentioned herein and no other prior or
contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.

23.  Notices.

     23.1 All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing
and may be delivered in person  (by hand or by messenger or courier service) or
may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be
deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23.
The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice purposes.  Either Party may by
written notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes,
except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to
Lessee.  A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor
hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such
addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice
to Lessee.

     23.2 Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt
card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon.  If sent by regular
mail the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the same is
addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.  Notices delivered

delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same
to the United States Postal Service or courier.  If any notice is transmitted by
facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or
delivered upon telephone confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof,

or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.

24.  Waivers.  No waiver by Lessor or Lessee of the Default or Breach of any
term, covenant or condition hereof by Lessee or Lessor shall be deemed a waiver
of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or
Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof.
Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent
or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce
the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent.  Regardless of
Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the
acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding Default or
Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to
pay the particular rent so accepted.  Any payment given Lessor by Lessee may be
accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding
any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.

25.  Recording.  Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.  The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible of repayment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

26.  No Right to Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

27.  Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all of the remedies
at law or in equity.

28.  Covenants and Conditions. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

29.  Binding Effect; Choice of Law.  This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.  Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.

30.  Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

     30.1 Subordination.  Provided that the ground lessor, Lender, or other
holder of the interest to which this Lease would be subordinated executes a
recognition and nondisturbance agreement which provides that this Lease shall
not be terminated so long as no Breach by Lessee exists under this Lease, this
Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively, "Security Device"), now or hereafter placed by Lessor upon the
real property of which the Premises are a part, to any and all advances made on
the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof, Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any
such Security Device shall have no duty, liability or obligation to perform any
of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's
default with respect to any subobligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose
name and address have been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice
of Lessor's default and allow such Lender the same period available for Lessor
for the cure of said default before invoking any remedies Lessee may have by
reason thereof.  If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any Option
granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

     30.2 Attornment.  Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3 and such recognition and non-disturbance agreement, Lessee agrees to attorn
to a Lender of any other party who acquires ownership of the Premises by reason
of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event of such
foreclosure, such new owner shall not:  (i) be liable for any act or omission of
any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring

                                      20.


<PAGE>

prior to acquisition of ownership, unless such Lender had previously consented
to the same, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have
against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one (1)
month's rent, unless the same was paid to such Lender.

     30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from the
Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to extend
the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof
and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.

     30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall
be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.

31.  Attorney's Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) or Broker in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon,
shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Such fees may be awarded in the
same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or
proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, "Prevailing Party"
shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains
or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise,
settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its
claim or defense. The attorney's fees award shall not be computed in accordance
with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all
attorney's fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorney's
fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of
Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action
is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach.

32.  Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon one (1) business day's prior
notice subject to Lessee's reasonable security measures for the purpose of
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessee, an making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or building any ordinary
"For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred twenty
(120) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For
Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of rent
or liability to Lessee. Lessor shall, however, at all times minimize any
interference with Lessee's operations at the Premises.

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

34.  Signage. Lessor grants to Lessee the right to construct a monument sign and
a building sign with Lessee's name thereon at Lessee's expense, subject to the
prior written approval by Lessor of the size, design, and location of such
signage and subject to approval of such signage by the City of Palo Alto. Lessee
shall remove all such signage at Lessee's expense promptly upon the expiration
or sooner termination of this Lease.

35.  Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor' selection to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.

                                      21.


<PAGE>

36.  Consents.

     (a)   Accept for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) wherever in this Lease the
consent, approval, designation, determination or judgment of a Party is
required, such consent, approval, designation, determination or judgment shall
not be unreasonable or unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual
reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects',
attorneys', engineers' or other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration
of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent pertaining to
this Lease or the Premises, including but not limited to consents to an
assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance,
practice or storage tank, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any act,
assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not
constitute an acknowledgement that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease
exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default
or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor
at the time of such consent.

     (b)   All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then
reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.

37.  (Deleted section)

38.  Quiet Possession. At all times that no Breach of this Lease by Lessee
exists, upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and the observance
and performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's
part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises of the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.

39.  Options.

     39.1  Definition. As used in this Paragraph 39 the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on the property of
Lessor.

     39.2  Options Personal To Original Lessee. Each Option granted to Lessee in
this Lease is personal to the original Lessee named in Paragraph 1.1 hereof, and
cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or exercised by any person or
entity other than said original Lessee while the original Lessee is in full and
actual possession of the Premises and without the intention of thereafter
assigning or subletting. The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not
assignable, either as a part of an assignment of this Lease or separately or
apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated from this Lease in any manner,
by reservation or otherwise, except that Lessee may, without Lessor's prior
written consent and without any participation by Lessor in assignment and
subletting proceeds, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to: (i) a
subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlling, controlled by or
under common control with Lessee; (ii) a successor corporation related to Lessee
by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action;
(iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Lessee's assets located in the
Premises. Any such sublease shall expressly state therein that such sublease
shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease. The assignee
in any such assignment shall expressly assume in writing for the benefit of
Lessor all of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease. Executed
counterparts of the foregoing sublease or assignment documents shall be
delivered to Lessor upon request. For the purposes of this Lease, sale or
transfer of Lessee's capital stock through any public exchange, shall not be
deemed as assignment, subletting, or any other transfer of the Lease or the
Premises.

     39.3  Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any Multiple Options
to extend or renew this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless the
prior Options to extend or renew this Lease have been validly exercised.

     39.4  Effect of Default on Options.

                                      22.


<PAGE>

     (a)   Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding any
provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i) during the period
commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under Paragraph 13.1 and
continuing until the noticed Default is cured.

           (a)  The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall
                not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to
                exercise an Option because of the provisions of Paragraph
                39.4(a).

40. [deleted]

41.  Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or the security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties.

42.  Reservations. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to
grant, without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and
dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel
maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and
restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee or increase Lessee's cost of such use or occupancy or Lessee's
obligations hereunder. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested
by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or
restrictions.

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

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

45.  Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and the
typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or
handwritten provisions. Any conflict between this form of this Lease and any
Addenda, Work Letter or Exhibits shall be controlled by the later.

46.  Offer. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agent and submission
of same to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease to Lessee. This Lease is
not intended to be binding until executed by all Parties hereto.

47.  Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
Parties in interest at the time of the modification. The parties shall amend
this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made to the
Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional, insurance company, or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the property
of which the Premises are a part.

48.  Multiple Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if more
than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee, the
obligations of such Multiple Parties shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or Lessee.

49.  Reasonable Expenditures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, any expenditure by a party permitted or required under this Lease, for
which such party is entitled to demand and does demand reimbursement from the
other party, shall be limited to the fair market value of the goods and services
involved, shall be reasonably incurred, and shall be substantiated by
documentary evidence available for inspection and review by the other party or
its representative during normal business hours.

                                      23.

                                  WORK LETTER

THIS WORK LETTER is made part of the Lease dated March 25, 1994 (the "Lease"),
by and between W. F. BATTON & CO., INC., a California corporation, as Lessor
("Lessor") and OMNICELL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a California corporation, as Lessee
("Lessee"), pertaining to certain premises consisting of approximately 30,600
rentable square feet of space located on the property commonly known as 1101
East Meadow Drive, Palo Alto, California (the "Premises").

     Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

     1.   Agreement to Construct: Lessor shall construct the interior
improvements ("Lessee Interior Improvements") for the Premises to be occupied by
Lessee pursuant to the Lease in accordance with this Work Letter.

     2.   Plans, Specification, and Working Drawings.

     (a)  Preliminary Plans. Lessor and Lessee have reviewed preliminary plans
and specifications for the Lessee Interior Improvements.

     (b)  Preparation of Working Drawings. On or before April 8, 1994, Lessor
          shall cause to be prepared final plans, specifications, and working
          drawings ("Working Drawings") which shall substantially conform to the
          preliminary plans and specifications reviewed by Lessor and Lessee.
          Within five (5) days after receipt thereof, Lessee shall approve such
          Working Drawings or Lessee shall deliver to Lessor Lessee's specific
          written changes or objections to such Working Drawings. Lessee shall
          not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Working
          Drawings. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement
          on any aspect of the Working Drawings disapproved by Lessee, with each
          party using its best efforts to complete and to approve the Working
          Drawings on or before April 15, 1994.

     (c)  Approval of Working Drawings. Upon approval, Lessor and Lessee shall
each initial and date the Working Drawings and Lessor shall submit the Working
Drawings to all appropriate governmental agencies for approval. Immediately
after all necessary governmental approvals have been obtained, four (4) copies
of the Working Drawings shall be initialed and dated by Lessor and Lessee if any
changes thereto have been made by the governmental agencies. The Working
Drawings as approved, and all change orders permitted pursuant to Paragraph 5
hereof are referred to herein as the "Approved Plans."

     3.   Prime Contractor.

     (a)  The prime contractor to be used to construct the Lessee Interior
Improvements shall be Jack Dymond Co. (hereafter "Dymond").

     (b)  Dymond shall have the following obligations during the course of the
Construction Contract (as such term is defined in Paragraph 4 below), and, where
appropriate, following the completion of the construction of the Lessee Interior
Improvements, in addition to all other conditions and obligations set forth in
the Construction Contract or otherwise applicable to Dymond:

          (1)  Dymond shall obtain at least three (3) competitive bids for all
subcontractors unless Lessor and Lessee approve in writing a fewer number of
competitive bids;

          (2)  Dymond shall expressly assume responsibility for all work done by
all persons working under its supervision and control; and

          (3)  Dymond shall use its best efforts to ensure that all persons
working under its supervision and control are, during the entire course of their
duties, properly licensed and qualified to do the particular jobs for which they
were hired.

                                      25.


<PAGE>

     4.   Construction Contract. Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate to cause the
Lessee Interior Improvements to be constructed in the following manner:

          (a)  Dymond to Construct Interior Improvements. The parties agree that
the Lessee Interior Improvements shall be constructed by Dymond pursuant to a
fixed price construction contract (the "Construction Contract") between Lessor
and Dymond. The Construction Contract shall provide that Dymond shall provide a
warranty of one year with respect to the Lessee Interior Improvements.

          (b)  Lessor's Securing of Bids. Lessor shall obtain Dymond's bid to
construct the Lessee Interior Improvements, which bid shall be itemized to show
the amount to be charged by each subcontractor for its part or the work.
Subcontractors shall be chosen on the basis of competitive bids, as set forth in
the Paragraph 3(b)(1) above herein. As soon as the bid is obtained from Dymond,
Lessor shall submit it to Lessee for Lessee's review and approval.

          (c)  Lessor's Disapproval of Subcontractor Bids. Lessor shall have the
right to disapprove any subcontractor bid for any item of the work, and if
Lessor does so, Lessor, Lessee and Dymond shall immediately confer and attempt
in good faith to reach agreement upon an alternative subcontractor whose bid is
acceptable to Lessor, Lessee and Dymond. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement within five (5) business days after Lessor has disapproved a
subcontractor, then, at Lessor's option, the part of the work that is the
subject of the bid disapproved by Lessor shall be rebid to one subcontractor,
and such work shall be awarded to the low bidder if such low bid is lower than
the bid disapproved by Lessor. In selecting alternative subcontractors, Lessor
and Lessee shall act reasonably and in good faith, acknowledging that a
subcontractor's ability to do quality work completed on time is as important as
the price charged, and acknowledging further that the approval of Dymond of any
subcontractor must be obtained. Any rebidding process undertaken pursuant to
this subparagraph shall be completed within ten (10) business days after Lessor
first disapproves the subcontractor bid in question.

          (d)  Lessee's Approval of Improvement Costs.

               (1)  Submittal of Dymond Bid. Once the bid of Dymond and its
subcontractors has been obtained, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee its final
estimate of the total "Improvement Costs" (as defined below) that will be
incurred to construct the Lessee Interior Improvements shown on the Approved
Plans. If the final estimate of the Improvement Costs is $765,000 or less, but
not less than $550,000, Lessee shall approve such amount.

               (2)  Review of Dymond Bid. If the final estimate of the
Improvement Costs exceeds $765,000 (30,600 rentable square feet x $25 per square
foot), Lessor and Lessee shall review the bid and shall jointly use their best
efforts to modify the Plans to reduce the total Improvements Costs to $765,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the final bid of Dymond for the total
Improvement Costs exceeds $765,000, Lessor and Lessee have reviewed the bid and
the Plans and are unable to agree upon changes to the Plans to reduce the
Improvement Costs to $765,000 within ten (10) days after receipt of said bid
after attempting in good faith to do so, Lessor shall have the option either (I)
to approve the final bid of Dymond, or (ii) to terminate the Lease by written
notice to Lessee, in which event Lessor and Lessee shall be relieved of all
further obligations thereunder and any prepaid rent and security deposit shall
be returned to Lessee.

               (3)  Redesign of Improvements by Lessee. All actions to modify
the Approved Plans and to reduce the bid of Dymond pursuant to this subparagraph
(d) shall be completed within ten (10) business days after the estimated
Improvement Costs figure has been submitted to Lessee. In the event of changes
in the Plans under the provisions of this subparagraph (d), the date set forth
in Paragraph 3.3 of the Lease, entitled "Delay in Possession," and Insert 1 in
the Addendum, which grant to Lessee the right to terminate the Lease, shall be
delayed on calendar day for each calendar day that the redesign or rebidding
actually delays the commencement of construction of the Lessee Interior
Improvements.

     5.   Change Orders. After the Working Drawings have been approved by Lessor
and Lessee in final form in writing as provided above, Lessee shall have the
right to request change orders. Any change order requested by Lessee shall be
subject to the prior written approval of Lessor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld

                                      26.


<PAGE>

or delayed provided that the change order does not increase the total
Improvement Costs. Lessee shall not be entitled to request, and Lessor shall not
be obligated to approve, any change order which increases the total Improvement
Costs to an amount which exceeds the maximum Lessee Improvement Allowance of
$765,000, unless Lessee is willing to pay for said changes.

     6.   Lessee Improvement Allowance. The Base Monthly Rent set forth in
Paragraph 1.5 of the Lease and Insert 2 of the Addendum is predicated upon a
base Lessee Improvement Allowance to be provided by Lessor of Twenty Dollars
($20) per square foot, or a total base Lessee Improvement Allowance of $612,000
(30,600 square feet x $20). Lessor has also agreed (1) that no less than
$550,800 (30,600 square feet x $18) shall be contributed by Lessor as the
minimum Lessee Improvement Allowance and (2) that Lessor shall contribute up to

Allowance actually spent is less than or greater than $612,000. If construction
of any Lessee Interior Improvements is deferred, Lessor and Lessee shall
mutually agree on the timing of subsequent construction.

     To the extent that the total Improvements Costs initially equal less than

          (c)  Additional Lessor Improvements. In addition to the Lessee

loading doors, repainting the roof screens, and repair or replace any HVAC units
that are not working. In addition to the Lessee Improvement Allowance, Lessor

per square foot), the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased by
$0.0208/sq.ft/dollar/per month.

     9.   Final Accounting. When the Lessee Interior Improvements are
Substantially Completed (as defined below), Lessor shall submit to Lessee a
final and detained accounting of all Improvement Costs paid for the construction
of the Lessee Interior Improvements, certified as a true and correct by Lessor.
Lessee shall have the right, during normal business hours after giving Lessor at
least two (2) business days prior written notice, to audit the books, records,
and supporting documents of Lessor to the extent necessary to determine the
accuracy of such accounting. Lessee shall bear the cost of such audit. Any such
audit must be conducted, if at all, within ninety (90) calendar days after
Lessor delivers such accounting to Lessee.

     10.  Risk of Loss. The risk of loss of the Premises before the Commencement
Date of the Lease (as defined in the Lease) shall be borne by Lessor. At all
times prior to the Commencement Date, Lessor, at its sole cost and expense,
shall maintain contingent liability and broad form "builder's risk" insurance
with coverage in an among equal to the replacement cost of the shell of the
Premises plus the estimated cost of the Lessee Interior Improvements. If the
Premises are damaged or destroyed by a casualty covered by said insurance, then
Lessor shall promptly and diligently complete construction of the Premises and
the Lessee Interior Improvements in accordance with the Lease and this Work
Letter.

     11.  Substantial Completion. The Lessee Interior Improvements shall be
deemed "Substantially Completed" when: (i) Dymond has issued its written
certificate stating that such improvements have been Substantially Completed in
accordance with the Approved plans; (ii) the Premises substantially conform to
the Approved Plans, as amended by any change orders approved pursuant to
Paragraph 5 of this Work Letter, and (iii) Lessee may lawfully occupy the
Premises in accordance with applicable law.

     12.  Delay in Completion Caused by Lessee. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge
that the date on which Lessee is obligated to commence paying Base Monthly Rent
under the Lease would be delayed because of (i) Lessee's failure to review and
approve the Working Drawings within the time periods set forth in Paragraph 2
hereof; or (ii) as the result of any change orders requested by Lessee and
approved by Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter. It is the intent
of the parties hereto that the commencement of Lessee's obligation to pay Base
Monthly Rent not be delayed by any such causes, and if any of the events set
forth above causes an actual delay in Substantial Completion, Lessee's
obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent shall commence as of the date it would
otherwise have commenced absent said delay caused by Lessee.

     13.  Delivery of Possession.

          (a)  Walk Through. As soon as the Lessee Interior Improvements are
Substantially Completed, Lessor and Lessee shall conduct a joint "walk through"
of the Premises and shall inspect the Lessee Interior Improvements so completed
using their best efforts to discover all uncompleted or defective construction.
After such inspection has been completed, each party shall sign a "punch list"
setting forth any such defective items.

          (b)  Correction of "Punch List" Items. Lessor shall use its best
efforts to cause the Dymond to complete and/or repair such "punch list" items
within thirty (30) days after the "walk through." After the initial

                                      28.


<PAGE>

"punch List" has been prepared, Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to
discover any further defects and shall have the right to submit a further "punch
list" to Lessor within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date. In such
case, Lessor shall cause Dymond to remedy such "punch list" items as soon as
reasonably practicable. Nothing contained herein shall impair any of Lessee's
other right under the Lease.

     14.  Warranty. Dymond shall warrant for a period of one year from the date
of substantial completion of construction that the Lessee Interior Improvements
shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials of
good quality, and in accordance with the Approved Plans (as modified by any
change orders requested by Lessee and approved by Lessor pursuant to the terms
of Paragraph 5 of this Work Letter).

     15.  Ownership of the Interior Improvements.

          (a)  Parties' Respective Depreciation of Improvements. All of the
Lessee Interior Improvements which are constructed with funds of Lessor shall
become the property of Lessor. Any furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment
installed in the Premises and paid for by Lessee shall become the property of
Lessee upon installation thereof in the Premises and Lessee shall have the right
to depreciate and claim and collect investment tax credits on any such property
throughout the terms of the Lease.

          (b)  Allocation of Depreciation. If both Lessor and Lessee contribute
to the cost of constructing any of the Lessee Interior Improvements, Lessor and
Lessee shall to the extent reasonably practicable agree in writing which of such
improvements are to be constructed using Lessor's funds (and therefore are
Lessor's property) and which of the improvements are to be installed with
Lessee's funds (and therefore are Lessee's property). Such allocation of
ownership of the Lessee Interior Improvements shall be made in a reasonable
manner so that the benefits of accelerated or component depreciation for tax
purposes and any investment tax credit shall be shared by Lessor and Lessee in
proportion to the amount contributed by each of them for payment of the cost of
the Lessee Interior Improvements. Any Lessee Interior Improvements constructed
with Lessee's funds shall become a part of the realty and shall become Lessor's
property upon the expiration for sooner termination of the Lease, except for
items which Lessor and Lessee agree in writing prior to commencement of
construction may be or shall be removed by Lessee.

     16.  Lessee's Right to Install Trade Fixtures. When the construction of the
Lessee Interior Improvements has proceeded to the point where Lessee's work of
installing its fixtures and equipment in the Premises can be commenced in
accordance with good construction practices, Lessor shall notify Lessee to that
effect and shall permit Lessee, and its authorized representatives and
contractors, to have access to the Premises for a period of not less than
fourteen (14) days prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing
Lessee's trade fixtures and equipment. Such entry by Lessee shall not advance
the Commencement Date or Lessee's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent.

     17.  Headings. The descriptive headings used and inserted in this Work
Letter are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or
construction of any of the provisions hereof.

     18.  Effect of Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this
Work Letter and the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall prevail.

                                      29.

the installments of Monthly Base Rent provided for in Paragraph 3 above, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, together with the installments of Monthly Base Rent, the

($4,249.41) per month on the first day of each calendar month of the Extended

                  (c)      The Contractor shall obtain at least three (3)

excess of the total cost previously approved by Lessor and Lessee, unless Lessee
agrees in writing to pay such excess to Lessor in a lump sum in cash promptly
upon completion of the Tenant Improvements.

                  (e)      All of the Tenant Improvements, furnishings, trade
fixtures, and equipment installed in the Premises which are paid for from
Lessor's Contribution to the Tenant Improvements, paid for directly by Lessee,
or reimbursed by Lessee to Lessor, shall become the property of Lessee upon
installation thereof in the Premises, and Lessee shall have the right to
depreciate and claim and collect investment tax credits on any such property
throughout the Extended Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant Improvements
constructed with Lessor's Contribution to the Tenant Improvements or with the
Lessee's funds shall become a part of the realty and shall become Lessor's
property upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Extended Term, except
for items which Lessor and Lessee agree in writing prior to commencement of
construction of the Tenant Improvements may be or shall be removed by Lessee.

the Tenant Improvements. The remaining one-half (1/2) of the cost of the work
($14,878.50) shall be paid by Lessor directly and shall not be charged
against Lessor's Contribution to the Tenant Improvements.

         8.       HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN. Except as set forth on
Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Lessee shall
not bring onto the Premises any hazardous materials. Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor (a) a copy of Lessee's current Hazardous Materials Management Plan, and
any amendments or supplements thereto, or replacements thereof, from time to
time during the Extended Term, and (b) a copy of all Hazardous Materials reports
or plans filed by Lessee with the City of Palo Alto, even though Lessee's
Hazardous Materials Management Plan and any such reports or plans filed with the
City show that Lessee is not currently using any reportable hazardous materials
on the Premises.

         9.       AMENDMENT TO GOVERN. In the event of any inconsistency between
the printed provisions of the Lease or the Addendum thereto and this Amendment,
