specified in paragraph 1.5 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

    3.2  Delay in Possession.  Notwithstanding said Commencement Date, if for
any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on said
date and subject to paragraph 3.2.2, Lessor shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or
the obligations of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof; but, in such
case, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in
this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee, as
hereinafter defined; provided, however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered
possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days following said Commencement
Date, as the same may be extended under the terms of a Work Letter executed by
Lessor and Lessee, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, by notice in writing to
Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be
<PAGE>

discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided, however, that as to
Lessee's obligations, Lessee first reimburses Lessor for all costs incurred for
Non-Standard improvements and, as to Lessor's obligations, Lessor shall return
any money previously deposited by Lessee (less any offsets due Lessor for Non-
Standard Improvements); and provided further, that if such written notice by
Lessee is not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right
to cancel this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.

         3.2.1  Possession Tendered - Defined.  Possession of the Premises shall
be deemed tendered to Lessee ("Tender of Possession") when (1) the improvements
to be provided by Lessor under this Lease are substantially completed, (2) the
Building utilities are ready for use in the Premises, (3) Lessee has reasonable
access to the Premises, and (4) ten (10) days shall have expired following
advance written notice to Lessee of the occurrence of the matters described in
(1), (2) and (3), above of this paragraph 3.2.1.

         3.2.2  Delays Caused by Lessee.  There shall be no abatement of rent,
and the sixty (60) day period following the Commencement Date before which
Lessee's right to cancel this Lease accrues under paragraph 3.2, shall be deemed
extended to the extent of any delays caused by acts or omissions of Lessee,
Lessee's agents, employees and contractors.

    3.3  Early Possession.  If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said

Lease, such occupancy shall not change the termination date, and Lessee shall
pay rent for such occupancy.

defined as the completion of the improvements, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
an amendment to this Lease establishing the date of Tender of Possession (as
defined in paragraph 3.2.1) or the actual taking of possession by Lessee,
whichever first occurs, as the Commencement Date.

4.  Rent.

    4.1  Base Rent.  Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in paragraph
4.3, and except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor the Base Rent for the Premises set forth in paragraph 1.6 of
the Basic Lease Provisions, without offset or deduction.  Lessee shall pay
Lessor upon execution hereof the advance Base Rent described in paragraph 1.8 of
the Basic Lease Provisions.  Rent for any period during the term hereof which is
for less than one month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days
of the calendar month involved.  Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or
at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.

    4.2  Operating Expense Increase.  Lessee shall pay to Lessor during the term
hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Lessee's Share, as hereinafter defined, of
the amount by which all Operating Expenses, as hereinafter defined, for each
Comparison Year exceeds the amount of all Operating Expenses for the Base Year,
such excess being hereinafter referred to as the "Operating Expense Increase,"
in accordance with the following provisions:

         (a) "Lessee's Share" is defined, for purposes of this Lease, as the
percentage set forth in paragraph 1.10 of the Basic Lease Provisions, which
percentage has been determined by dividing the approximate square footage of the
Premises by the total approximate square footage of the rentable space contained
in the Office Building Project.  It is understood and agreed that the square
footage figures set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions are approximations which
Lessor and Lessee agree are reasonable and shall not be subject to revision
except in connection with an actual change in the size of the Premises or a
change in the space available for lease in the Office Building Project.

         (b) "Base Year" is defined as the calendar year in which the Lease term
commences.

         (c) "Comparison Year" is defined as each calendar year during the term
of this Lease subsequent to the Base Year; provided, however, Lessee shall have
no obligation to pay a share of the Operating Expense Increase applicable to the
first twelve (12) months of the Lease
<PAGE>

Term (other than such as are mandated by a governmental authority, as to which
government mandated expenses Lessee shall pay Lessee's Share, notwithstanding
they occur during the first twelve (12) months). Lessee's Share of the Operating
Expense Increase for the first and last Comparison Years of the Lease Term shall
be prorated according to that portion of such Comparison Year as to which Lessee
is responsible for a share of such increase.

         (d) "Operating Expenses" is defined, for purposes of this Lease, to
include all costs, if any, incurred by Lessor in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion, for:

             (i)   The operation, repair, maintenance, and replacement, in neat,
clean, safe, good order and condition, of the Office Building Project, including
but not limited to, the following:

                     (aa) The Common Areas, including their surfaces, coverings,
decorative items, carpets, drapes and window coverings, and including parking
areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways,
stairways, parkways, driveways, landscaped areas, striping, bumpers, irrigation
systems, Common Area lighting facilities, building exteriors and roots, fences
and gates.

                     (bb) All heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical
systems, life safety equipment, telecommunication and other equipment used in
common by, or for the benefit of, lessees or occupants of the Office Building
Project, including elevators and escalators, tenant directories, fire detection
systems including sprinkler system maintenance and repair.

             (ii)   Trash disposal, janitorial and security services:

             (iii)  Any other service to be provided by Lessor that is elsewhere
in this Lease stated to be an "Operating Expense";

             (iv)   The cost of the premiums for the liability and property
insurance policies to be maintained by Lessor under paragraph 8 hereof;

             (v)    The amount of the real property taxes to be paid by Lessor
under paragraph 10.1 hereof;

             (vi)   The cost of water, sewer, gas, electricity, and other
publicly mandated services to the Office Building Project;

             (vii)  Labor, salaries and applicable fringe benefits and costs,
materials, supplies and tools, used in maintaining and/or cleaning the Office
Building Project and accounting and a management fee attributable to the
operation of the Office Building Project;

             (viii) Replacing and/or adding improvements mandated by any
governmental agency and any repairs or removals necessitated thereby amortized
over its useful life according to Federal income tax regulations or guidelines
for depreciation thereof (including interest on the unamortized balance as is
then reasonable in the judgment of Lessor's accountants);

             (ix)   Replacements of equipment or improvements that have a useful
life for depreciation purposes according to Federal income tax guidelines of
five (5) years or less, as amortized over such life.

         (e) Operating Expenses shall not include the costs of replacements of
equipment or improvements that have a useful life for Federal income tax
purposes in excess of five (5) years unless it is of the type described in
paragraph 4.2(d)(viii), in which case their cost shall be included as above
provided.

         (f) Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses paid by any
lessee directly to third parties, or as to which Lessor is otherwise reimbursed
by any third party, other tenant, or by insurance proceeds.

         (g) Lessee's Share of Operating Expense increase shall be payable by
Lessee within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual
expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor.  At Lessor's option, however, an
amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time in advance of Lessee's Share
of the Operating Expense increase for any Comparison Year, and the same shall be
payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall
<PAGE>

designate, during each Comparison Year of the Lease term, on the same day as the
Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Lessee pays Lessor's estimate of
Lessee's Share of Operating Expense increase as aforesaid, Lessor shall deliver
to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each Comparison Year a
reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Operating
Expense Increase incurred during such year. If Lessee's payments under this
paragraph 4.2(g) during said Comparison Year exceed Lessee's Share as indicated
on said statement, Lessee shall be entitled to credit the amount of such
overpayment against Lessee's Share of Operating Expense increase next falling
due. If Lessee's payments under this paragraph during said Comparison Year were
less than Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days after delivery by
Lessor to Lessee of said statement. Lessor and Lessee shall forthwith adjust
between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to
that portion of the last Comparison Year for which Lessee is responsible as to
Operating Expense increases, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have
terminated before the end of such Comparison Year.

    4.3  Rent Increase.

    See Addendum.

5.  Security Deposit.  Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
the security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder. If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all
or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which
Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the
full amount then required of Lessee. If the monthly Base Rent shall, from time
to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times
bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial security
deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

6.  Use.

    6.1  Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose set
forth in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provisions or any other use which is
reasonably comparable to that use and for no other purpose.

    6.2  Compliance with Law.

         (a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state existing
on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to alterations or
improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the
Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any
applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice
from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation.
<PAGE>

         (b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee's
expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of
any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from
that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in
any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises.
Lessee shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit
the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to
create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the
Office Building Project.

    6.3  Condition of Premises.

         (a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean condition on
the Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and Lessor
warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air conditioning, and heating
system in the Premises shall be in good operating condition.  In the event that
it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the
obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth
with specificity the nature of the violation to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost,
rectify such violation.

         (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts
the Premises and the Office Building Project in their condition existing as of
the Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the
Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,
county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the
use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants, or restrictions of record,
and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and
by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied
itself by its own independent investigation that the Premises are suitable for
its intended use, and that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent or agents has made
any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct of Lessees
business.

7.  Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations and Common Area Services.

    7.1  Lessor's Obligations.  Lessor shall keep the Office Building Project,
including the Premises, interior and exterior walls, roof and common areas, and
the equipment whether used exclusively for the Premises or in common with other
premises, in good condition and repair; provided, however, Lessor shall not be
obligated to paint, repair and replace wall coverings, or to repair or replace
any improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or are above
then Building standards.  Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there shall be no
abatement of rent or liability of Lessee, on account of any injury or
interference with Lessee's business with respect to any improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part
thereof.  Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter
in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at
Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep
the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

    7.2  Lessee's Obligations.

         (a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost
thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any
maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that
serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to
causes beyond normal wear and tear.  Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of
painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to repair or replace any
Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are
above then Building standards.  Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable
notice, elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs
the cost of which is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.
<PAGE>

         (b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination,
Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition as received,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris.  Any damage or
deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the
same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Lessee.  Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishings and equipment.
Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall paneling, ceilings
and plumbing on the Premises and in good operating condition.

    7.3  Alterations and Additions.

         (a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent make any
alterations, improvements, additions, utility installations or repairs in, on or
about the Premises, or the Office Building Project.  As used in this paragraph
7.3 the term "Utility installation" shall mean carpeting, window and wall
coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring and
equipment.  At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of any
or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations,
and the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building Project to their
prior condition, at Lessee's expense.  Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its
own alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations, Lessee shall
use only such contractor as has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor
may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien
and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated
cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's
and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.  Should Lessee
make any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations without
the prior approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not expressly approved by
Lessor, Lessor may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that
Lessee remove any part or all of the same.

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

         (c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, or any interest therein.

         (d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days notice prior
to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor shall have
the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the
Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any
such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises, the Building, and the Office Building Project
free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require
Lessee to pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in participating in
such action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest so to do.
<PAGE>

         (e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but not limited to, floor
coverings, paneling, doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation, and
lighting and telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and outlets,
shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and of good and
sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Lessor and remain
upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Lease term,
unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a).  Provided
Lessee is not in default, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
7.3(E), Lessee's personal property and equipment, other than that which is
affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to
the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility Installations, shall remain
the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of
paragraph 7.2.

         (f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and specifications
for any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations.

    7.4  Utility Additions.  Lessor reserves the right to install new or
additional utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the
benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project,
including, but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical
systems, communications systems, and fire protection and detection systems, so
long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of
the Premises.

8.  Insurance; indemnity.

    8.1  Liability Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain
and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive
General Liability insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard form
with Broad Form General Liability endorsement (GL0404), or equivalent, in an
amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence of bodily injury and property
damage combined or in a greater amount as reasonably determined by Lessor and
shall insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional insured against liability
arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. Compliance
with the above requirement shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee
hereunder.

    8.2  Liability Insurance - Lessor.  Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily injury

the Office Building Project in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 per
occurrence.

    8.3  Property Insurance - Lessee.  Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain
and keep in force during the term of this Lease for the benefit of Lessee,
replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and earthquake sprinkler leakage
endorsements, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all of Lessee's
personal property, fixtures, equipment and tenant improvements.

    8.4  Property Insurance - Lessor.  Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or
damage to the Office Building Project improvements, but not Lessee's personal
property, fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements, in the amount of the full
replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time, utilizing
Insurance Services Office standard form, or equivalent, providing protection
against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended
coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as
Lessor deems advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on the

during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental value insurance covering a
period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also

Operating Expenses for said period. Lessee will not be named in any such
policies carried by Lessor and shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom.
The policies required by these paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain such
deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid lender may determine. In the event that
the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined in paragraph 9.1(f) hereof,
the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance policies shall be deemed
an Operating Expense. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which
shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall pay the
entirety of any increase in the property insurance premium for the Office
Building Project over what it was immediately prior to the commencement of the
term of this Lease if the increase is specified by Lessor's insurance carrier as
being caused by the nature of Lessee's occupancy or any act or omission of
Lessee.

    8.5  Insurance Policies.  Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of liability
insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days after the
Commencement Date of this Lease.  No such policy shall be cancellable or subject
to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lessor.  Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior
to  the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals thereof.

    8.6  Waiver of Subrogation.  Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other,
for direct or consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to the
perils covered by property insurance carried by such party, whether due to the
negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. If necessary all property insurance policies required under this Lease
shall be endorsed to so provide.

    8.7  Indemnity.  Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its
agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and against
any and all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity
arising from Lessee's use of the Office Building Project, or from the conduct of
Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or
suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, costs
and expenses arising from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act or omission of Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents,
contractors, employees, or invitees, and from an against all costs, attorney's
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessor as the result of any such use,
conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or suffered, breach, default or
negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith, including but not limited to
the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved
therein; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such matter, 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.  Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee
or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Office Building Project arising from
any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.

    8.8  Exemption of Lessor from Liability.  Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor
shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person
in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from theft,
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing,
air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
<PAGE>

portions of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places, or
from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of
the Office Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the case of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable
for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or
user of the Office Building Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce
the provisions of any other lease of any other lessee of the Office Building
Project.

     8.9  No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no representation
that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified in this paragraph 8
are adequate to cover Lessee's property or obligations under this Lease.

9.5, if at any time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is an
Insured Loss and which falls into the classification of either Premises Damage
or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor shall, as soon as reasonably
possible and to the extent the required materials and labor are readily
available through usual commercial channels, at Lessor's expense, repair such

paid for by Lessee) to its condition existing at the time of the damage, and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

          (b)  Uninsured Loss: Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.4 and
9.5, if at any time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is not
an Insured Loss and which falls within the classification of Premises Damage or
Premises Building Partial Damage, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense), which
damage prevents Lessee from making any substantial use of the Premises, 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

damage.

          (b)  Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee has an
option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said option may

be exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after the occurrence of an
Insured Loss falling within the classification of Premises Damage during the

          (a)  In the event Lessor repairs or restores the Building or Premises
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 9, and any part of the Premises are
not usable (including loss of use due to loss of access or essential services),
the rent payable hereunder (including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense
Increase) for the period during which such damage, repair or restoration
continues shall be abated, provided (1) the damage was not the result of the
negligence of Lessee, and (2) such abatement shall only be to the extent the
operation and profitability of Lessee's business as operated from the Premises
is adversely affected.  Except for said abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall
have no claim again Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.

          (b)  If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises or
the Building under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence
such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such occurrence, or if
Lessor shall not complete the restoration and repair within six (6) months after
such occurrence, Lessee may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease

     9.7   Waiver.  Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statute which
relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree that

10.  Real Property Taxes.

     10.1  Payment of Taxes.  Lessor shall pay the real property tax, as defined
in paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Office Building Project subject to
reimbursement by Lessee of Lessee' share of such taxes in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2

     10.2  Additional Improvements.  Lessee shall not be responsible for paying
any increase in real property tax specified in the tax assessor's records and
work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Office
Building Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of
any other lessee.  Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time that
Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the entirety of any
increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

     10.3  Definition of "Real Property Tax."  As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Office Building Project or any portion thereof
by any authority having the director indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Office Building Project or in any
portion thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and as against Lessor's business of leasing the Office Building Project.  The
term "real property tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or
charge (i) in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy,
assessment or charge hereinabove included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (ii) the nature of which was hereinbefore included within the
definition of "real property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or
right not charged prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been
increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a change
in ownership, as defined by applicable local statutes for property tax purposes,
of the Office Building Project or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore
included within the definition of real property tax by reason of such change of
ownership, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any
modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.

     10.4  Joint Assessment. If the improvements or property, the taxes for
which are to be paid separately by Lessee under paragraph 10.2 or 10.5 are not
separately assessed, Lessee's portion of that tax shall be equitably determined
by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets
or such other information (which may include the cost of construction) as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.

     10.5  Personal Property Taxes.

           (a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere.

Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes attributable to
Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth
the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
<PAGE>

11.  Utilities

     11.1  Services Provided by Lessor.  Lessor shall provide heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, and janitorial service as reasonably required,
reasonable amounts of electricity for normal lighting and office machines, water
for reasonable and normal drinking and lavatory use, and replacement light bulbs
and/or fluorescent tubes and ballasts for standard overhead fixtures.

     11.2  Services Exclusive to Lessee.  Lessee shall pay for all water, gas,
heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and services specially or
exclusively supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee,
together with any taxes thereon.  If any such services are not separately
metered to the Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor's options, either Lessee's
Share or a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges
jointly metered with other premises in the Building.

     11.3  Hours of Service. Said services and utilities shall be provided
during generally accepted business day sand hours or such other days or hours as
may hereafter be set forth. Utilities and services required at other times shall
be subject to advance request and reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of the cost
thereof.

     11.4  Excess Usage by Lessee.  Lessee shall not make connection to the
utilities except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use
machinery or equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting
or power, or suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the
utilities or services, including but not limited to security services, over
standard office usage for the Office Building Project.  Lessor may, in its sole
discretion, install at Lessee's expense supplemental equipment and/or separate
metering applicable to Lessee's excess usage or loading.

     11.5  Interruptions.  There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor shall
not be liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage,
interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike,
labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's
reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions.

12.  Assignment and Subletting.

     12.1  Lessor's Consent Required.  Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold.  Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1.  "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall
include the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation,
more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or
(b) if Lessee is a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
profit and loss participation in such partnership.

     12.2  Lessee Affiliate.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be given written notice of such assignment and assumption.  Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this
Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
<PAGE>

     12.3  Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

           (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or subletting shall
release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability
of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder.

           (b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending
approval or disapproval of such assignment.

           (c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or
estoppels of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of
the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.

           (d) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by
third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.

           (e) The consent by Lessor to any assignment or 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 amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or
anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent
and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease
or said sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent
any such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the
Lessee or sublease under this Lease or such sublease.

           (f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the
performance of 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.

           (g) Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting of the
Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no default then
exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall
such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.

           (h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied
upon by Lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was
materially false shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null
and void.

           (i) As an additional condition to assignment and subletting, Lessee
shall not assign nor sublet less than 8,000 rentable square feet of the
Premises.

     12.4  Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting.  Regardless
of Lessor's consent, 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 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 default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, Lessee may 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 default exists in
the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease.  Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely
<PAGE>

upon any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such sublessee shall
pay such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to
whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from
Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against said
sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.

           (b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and
until it has been approved in writing by Lessor, in entering into an sublease.
Lessee shall use only such form of sublessee as is satisfactory to Lessor, and
once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessor's prior written consent.  Any sublease shall, by reason of entering into
a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have
assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and ever obligation herein to
be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.

           (c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any obligation to
do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under
such sublease.

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

           (e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented,
Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the
sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee
within three (3) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.

     12.5  Lessor's Expenses.  In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other
consultants' fees.

     12.6  Conditions to Consent.  Lessor reserves the right to condition any
approval to assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the proposed
assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality
substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of
any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed
assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment
or subletting, whichever is greater.

13.  Default; Remedies

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

           (a) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee. Vacation
of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a
continuous period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.

           (b) The breach by Lessee of any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment or
subletting), 13.1(a) (vacation or abandonment), 13.1(e) (insolvency), 13.1(f)
(false statement), 16(a) (estoppel certificate), 30(b) (subordination), 33
(auctions), or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby deemed to be material,
non-curable defaults without the necessity of any notice by Lessor to Lessee
thereof,

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

period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In
the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant
to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall
also constitute the notice required by this subparagraph.

           (d) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee
other than those referenced in subparagraphs (b) and (c), above, where such
failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion.  To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.

           (e)(i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee 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 thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days, in the event that an provision of this paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

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

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

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

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

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

     13.3  Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails
to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and
to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of
<PAGE>

trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been
furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform
such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligations
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor
shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day
period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

     13.4  Late Charges.  Lessee hereby acknowledges that Late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other
sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Office Building Project.  Accordingly, if any
installment of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10 days
after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue
amount.  The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee.  Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

14.  Condemnation.  If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office
Building Project 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;
provided that if so much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are
taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the
operation and profitability of Lessee's business conducted from the  Premises,
Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30)
days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in
the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession), to 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
rent and Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the
proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor
area of the Premises.  Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common
Areas usable to Lessee and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto
or by reason thereof.  Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to
terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority,
by giving written notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises
or the Office Building Project.  Any award for the taking of all or any part of
the Premises or the Office Building Project 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 a
severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
separate award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable
personal property and unamortized tenant improvements that have been paid for by
Lessee.  For that purpose the cost of such improvements shall be amortized over
the original term of this Lease excluding any options.  In the event that this
Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such
condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation
except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning
authority.  Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages
required to complete such repair.

15.  Broker's Fee.

     (a) The brokers involved in this transaction are Prentiss Properties as
"listing broker" and Lee & Associates as "cooperating broker," licensed real
estate broker(s).  A "cooperating broker" is defined as any broker other than
the listing broker entitled to a share of any commission arising under this
Lease.  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 agreement between Lessor and said
broker(s), the sum of $ (per separate agreement), for brokerage services
rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.

     (b) Lessor further agrees that (i) if Lessee exercises any Option, as
defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this
Lease, or any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to an
Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or (ii) if Lessee acquires any rights
to the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are
substantially similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted to Lessee been exercised, or (iii) if Lessee remains in possession of
the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed
to exercise an Option, or (iv) if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any
other lease or sale entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises
and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or (v) if the Base
Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause
contained herein, then as to any of said transactions or rent increases, Lessor
shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said broker(s)
in effect at the time of execution of this Lease. Said fee shall be paid at the
time such increased rental is determined.

     (c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but also on
behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when such fee is
due hereunder.  Any transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such
transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed
Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15.  Each listing and cooperating
broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15
to the extent of their interest in any commission arising under this Lease and
may enforce that right directly against Lessor; provided, however, that all
brokers having a right to any part of such total commission shall be a necessary
party to any suit with respect thereto.

     (d) Lessee and Lessor, each represent and warrant to the other that neither
has had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the
person(s), if any, whose names are set forth in paragraph 15(a), above) in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby, and no other broker or other person, firm or
entity is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection with said
transaction and Lessee and Lessor do each hereby indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or liability for
compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder
or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying
party.

16.  Estoppel Certificate

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

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

     (c)  If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Office Building
Project, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or
purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser.  Such statements shall include
the past three (3) years' financial statements of Lessee.  All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

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

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

19.  Interest on Past-due Obligations.  Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law or judgments from the date due.  Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided,
however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee
nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.

20.  Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to
be performed under this Lease.

21.  Additional Rent.  All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's Share of Operating
Expense Increase and any other expenses payable by Lessee hereunder shall be
deemed to be rent.

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

23.  Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be
in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered
mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be.  Mailed notices shall be deemed given
upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours following
deposit
<PAGE>

in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may by notice
to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or
permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to
such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

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

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

26.  Holding Over.  If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of
the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, except that the rent payable
shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the rent payable immediately preceding
the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if any, granted under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no further effect
during said month to month tenancy.

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

28.  Covenants and Conditions.  Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

29.  Binding Effect; Choice of Law.  Subject to any provisions hereof
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns.  This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
where the Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this
Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the
Office Building Project is located.

30.  Subordination.

     (a) This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted hereby, at
Lessor' option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the
Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the security thereof
and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof.  Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession
of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long
as Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of
this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.  If
any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any
Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and
such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording
thereof.

     (b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein
prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case
may be.  Lessee's failure to execute such
<PAGE>

documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute a material
default by Lessee hereunder without further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor'
option, Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to
execute such documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).

31.  Attorneys' Fees.

     31.1  If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an action to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, trial or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorneys' fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court in the same
or a separate suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or
judgment.  The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the
broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.

     31.2  The attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any
court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred in good faith.

     31.3  Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all other
costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service or notice of default
and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal transaction is
subsequently commenced in connection with such default.

32.  Lessor's Access.

     32.1  Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises
at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, performing any
services required of Lessor, showing the same to prospective purchasers,
lenders, or lessees, taking such safety measures, erecting such scaffolding or
other necessary structures, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises or to the Office Building Project as Lessor may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and maintaining
of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other
premises as long as there is no material adverse effect to Lessee's use of the
Premises.  Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the Building
any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120
days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease"
signs.

     32.2  All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be without
abatement of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for the same.

     32.3  Lessor shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to
unlock all doors in or upon the Premises other than to files, vaults and safes,
and in the case of an emergency to enter the Premises by any reasonably
appropriate means, and any such entry shall not be deemed a forceable or
unlawful entry or detainer of the Premises or an eviction.  Lessee waives any
charges for damages or injuries or interference with Lessee's property or
business in connection therewith.

33.  Auctions.  Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas
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.  The holding of any auction on the Premises or Common Areas in
violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material default of this Lease.

34.  Signs.  Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the Office
Building Project without Lessor's prior written consent.  Under no circumstances
shall Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Office Building Project.

35.  Merger.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option
<PAGE>

of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of
Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such subtenancies.

36.  Consents.  Except for paragraphs 33 (auctions) and 34 (signs) hereof,
wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the
other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

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

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

39.  Options.

     39.1  Definition.  As used in this paragraph the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or
to renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other
property of Lessor; (2) the option of right of first refusal to lease this
Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first
refusal to lease other space within the Office Building Project or other
property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other space within the
Office Building Project or other property of Lessor; (3) the right or option to
purchase the Premises or the Office Building Project, or the right of first
refusal to purchase the Premises or the Office Building Project or the right of
first offer to purchase the Premises or the Office Building Project, or the
right or option to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first
refusal to purchase other property of Lessor or the right of first offer to
purchase other property of Lessor.

     39.2  Options Personal.  Each Option granted to Lessee in this Lease is
personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the original Lessee
while occupying the Premises who does so without the intent of thereafter
assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises or any portion thereof, and may
not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any
person or entity other than Lessee; provided, however, that an Option may be
exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of
this Lease.  The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not assignable
separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this
Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.

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

     39.4  Effect of Default on Options.

           (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding
any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during the time
commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default pursuant to
paragraph 13.1(c) or 13.1(d) and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in
said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time commencing on
the day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee and unpaid
(without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) and continuing until the
obligation is paid, or (iii) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee three
or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(c), or paragraph 13.1(d),
whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12 month period of time
immediately prior to the time that Lessee attempts to exercise the subject
Option, (iv) if Lessee has committed any non-curable breach, including without
limitation those described in paragraph 13.1(b), or is otherwise in default of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
<PAGE>

           (b) 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).

           (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and
timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of
this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee
for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to
commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(d) within thirty (30)
days after the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or
Lessee fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or
(iii) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph
13.1(c), or paragraph 13.1(d), whether or not the defaults are cured, or (iv) if
Lessee has committed any non-curable breach, including without limitation those
described in paragraph 13.1(b), or is otherwise in default of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Lease.

40.  Security Measures - Lessor's Reservations.

     40.1  Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor shall have no obligation
whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit
of the Premises or the Office Building Project.  Lessee assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents, and invitees and the
property of Lessee and of Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third
parties.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole
option, from providing security protection for the Office Building Project or
any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the
definition of Operating Expenses, as set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).

     40.2  Lessor shall have the following rights:

           (a) To change the name, address or title of the Office Building
Project or building in which the Premises are located upon not less than 90 days
prior written notice;

           (b) To, at Lessee's expense, provide and install Building standard

conditions of that certain Standard Office Lease (the "Lease") entered into

STV Communications, Inc., ("Lessee"), dated January 23, 2000 with respect to the
premises located at 12233 West Olympic Boulevard, Suites 208 and 308, Los
Angeles, California (the "Premises").  In the event of a conflict between the
terms of this addendum and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this addendum
shall prevail.  Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have
the same meaning as in the Lease.

Section 4.3 Rent Increase: Commencing upon the first day of the 13th month of
the Term, the monthly Base Rent shall increased to thirty-three thousand four
hundred and eight-five and 92/100 dollars ($33,485.92).  Commencing upon the
first day of the 25th month of the Term, the monthly Base Rent shall be
increased to thirty-four thousand seven hundred and seventy-three and 84/100
dollars ($34,773.84).

Section 5 Security Deposit:

     (a) Concurrently with Lessee's execution and delivery of this Lease, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit in the
amount of $100,000 in a form acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion (the
"Letter of Credit").  The Letter of  Credit shall be held by Lessor as a
security deposit to secure Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease.  The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a financial
institution acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion and such financial
institution must have an established presence in Los Angeles County, California
and the Letter of Credit must be presentable in Los Angeles County, California.
If Lessee fails to pay Rent or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision
of this Lease and fails to cure any such default within any applicable notice
and cure period provided in this Lease, then Lessor may execute one or more
drafts on the Letter of Credit for the payment of any Rent, or for the payments
of any other sum for which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's
default, or for payment to Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer
thereby.  The Letter of Credit shall contain language allowing Lessor to draw
upon the Letter of Credit upon presentation to the issuer of the Letter of
Credit of Lessor's written statement that Lessor is entitled to the funds
represented by such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notification of or approval by Lessee prior to any drawing upon the Letter of
Credit shall not be required.  If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion
of the amount represented by the Letter of Credit, then Lessee shall, within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor, at Lessor's sole option, (i) deposit
cash with Lessor in lieu of the Letter of Credit in the amount drawn, or (ii)
deliver a replacement letter of credit in the amount drawn so that the total
amounts represented by the Letter of Credit and the replacement letter of credit
equals the amount of the Letter of Credit immediately preceding such use or
application by Lessor, and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach
of this Lease.

     (b) The financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit shall provide to
Lessor, not less frequently than every ninety (90) days, a written statement
reflecting that the Letter of Credit is in effect, the then current expiration
date and other information reasonably requested by Lessor.  No later than sixty
(60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit or any replacements or
renewal thereof, Lessee shall deliver a new Letter of Credit substantially in
the same form as the then existing Letter of Credit except that the expiration
date set forth in the Letter of Credit which is then being replaced, and the
issuer may be changed by Lessee to a financial institution acceptable to Lessor
in its sole discretion.  If Lessee fails to deliver a new Letter of Credit as
required herein, the Lessor shall have the right, at its sole option, to draw
upon and present the
<PAGE>

then existing Letter of Credit for the entire amount available thereunder. Until
such time as Lessee shall thereafter deliver a new Letter of Credit in the form
and substance required hereunder, Lessor shall retain possession of the funds so
drawn as a security deposit to secure Lessee's faithful obligations under this
Lease. Any such replacement Letter of Credit shall satisfy and be subject to the
provisions set forth in subparagraph (a) above. Should the Letter of Credit then
in effect be revoked or should the creditworthiness of the issuer of the Letter
of Credit then in effect become impaired (in Lessor's sole, reasonable
judgment), then Lessee shall deliver a replacement Letter of Credit in the form
and substance required herein.

     (c) If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, then
the Letter of Credit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by
Lessor in accordance with this Lease shall be returned to Lessee, without
interest, within sixty (60) days following the expiration, without renewal, of
the term of this Lease and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. If Lessor
transfers the Premises or any portion thereof and transfers to or deposits with
the transferee the Letter of Credit, Lessor shall be discharged from any further
liability with respect thereto.

Section 12(f) Transfer Premium:  Subject to the terms of Section 12, if Lessor
consents to a sublease or assignment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor fifty percent
(50%) of all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such
transferee in connection with the transfer in excess of the Base Rent or any
additional rent payable by Lessee under this Lease during the term of the
transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is
transferred, including, without limitation, key money, bonus money or other cash
consideration paid by transferee to Lessee in connection with such transfer, but
excluding any payment which is not in excess of fair market value for (i)
services rendered by Lessee to transferee or (ii) for assets, inventory,
equipment, or furniture transferred by Lessee to transferee in connection with
such sublease or assignment.

Section 39.  Option to Extend Term: Paragraph 39.1 is deleted in its entirety.
The Lessor covenants with the Lessee that if the Lessee duly and regularly pays
the Rent and any and all additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Lease and performs each and every covenant, provision and agreement on the part
of the Lessee to be paid, rendered, observed and performed herein, the Lessor
will at the expiration of the then expiring term on written notice by the Lessee

expiration of the then expiring term and received by the Lessor not less than
nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then expiring term grant to the
Lessee a five (5) year renewal of lease of the leased Premises (the "Renewal
Term") on the same terms and conditions herein save and except the Base Rent,
Operating Expense Increase and other charges.

shall be determined by negotiations between the Lessor and Lessee hereto.  If
the parties hereto are unable to agree in writing as to the Base Rent, Operating
Expense Increase and other charges for the Renewal Term ninety (90) days prior
to the end of the Lease, this Lease shall end at the conclusion of the five year
Term, and this Option to Extend Term and any subsequent options to extend term
shall be null and void.

The Lessee agrees to execute all documents reasonably required by Lessor to
exercise the Option to Extend Term.  The Lessee shall execute such documents
prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term.

automatically expires on any Transfer or parting with possession of all or any
part of the Premises whether or not such transfer or parting with possession is
with the consent of the Lessor.

Lease Term, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, to install monument signage along
the Olympic Boulevard frontage of Building at a location reasonably set forth by
Lessor, containing the letters "STV" ("Monument Signage").  The dimensions of

if applicable.  In addition, Lessee shall be responsible for the cost and
expense of the removal of the Monument Signage as of the termination or earlier
