"Building"), located at 3250 WILSHIRE BLVD., LOS ANGELES, California, for the
                        ---------------------------------
term and upon the conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth.

     1.    Term. The term of this lease shall commence on the earliest of the
following dates:

           (a) on APRIL 1, 1999:
                  -------------

           (b) when Landlord informs Tenant that the premises are ready for
occupancy; and

           (c) sixty (60) days after final plans and specifications have been
approved by Landlord and Tenant as per portion of lease referred to as Plans and
Specifications; and this lease shall terminate on the later of MARCH 31, 2001
                                                               --------------
and THIRTY SIX MONTHS from the applicable commencement date. Landlord shall,
    -----------------
after commencement of the term, deliver a written notice to Tenant stating the
commencement and termination dates; provided, however, that the failure of
Landlord to deliver such notice shall not in any way affect the rights or
remedies of Landlord hereunder.

     2.    Possession. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant at the commencement of the term hereof, Landlord shall not be
subject to any liability for the failure to deliver possession on said date and
such failure shall not affect the validity of this lease nor the obligations of
Tenant hereunder nor extend the term hereof. With respect to the foregoing, it
is understood that if and to the extent that Landlord is unable to deliver
timely possession of the Premises to Tenant due to delays by Tenant or failure
by Tenant to timely provide Landlord with plans, specifications, information,
approvals, consents, or the like, as required hereunder, then the rent reserved
shall commence to accrue on the date possession of the Premises would have been
delivered to Tenant but for the delays and/or failures of Tenant. If permission
is given to Tenant to occupy the Premises prior to the date of commencement of
the term hereof, such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions of
this lease (including the payment of rent) except those relating to the term of
this lease.

     3.    Rent.

           (a) All amounts due from Tenant under this lease are hereby deemed to
be rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord all rent in lawful money of the United States
at the time of payment. "Base Rent" shall mean $106,563.60 per annum.
                                               -----------

           (b) "Adjusted Rent" shall mean the Base Rent as adjusted from time to
time pursuant to Section (d) of this Article 3. Tenant shall pay Landlord the
Adjusted Rent in equal monthly installments, which installments shall be payable
in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this lease
at the office of Landlord or at such other place as Landlord may from to time
designate in writing. All rent shall be paid without deduction of setoff. Any
installment of rent payable for a portion, less than all, of a calendar month
shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month and shall be payable on the
first day of such portion.

           (c) notwithstanding Section (b) of this Article 3 to the contrary,
the first full installment of Adjusted Rent relating to a complete calendar
month during the term hereof shall be paid upon the execution hereof.

           (d) The Adjusted Rent equals the Base Rent multiplied by a fraction,
the denominator of which is the number attributed by the Index (defined below)
to the December of the calendar year prior to that in which the term of this
lease commences, and the numerator of which is the number attributed by the
Index to the December of the calendar year prior to that for which the
installment of Adjusted Rent represents a partial payment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, under no circumstances shall this Section (d) of Article 3 cause an
installment of Adjusted Rent to be less than the installment, if any, of
Adjusted Rent payable for the December of the prior calendar year.

           (e) Landlord shall endeavor to inform Tenant of the new Adjusted Rent
during or before April of each calendar year during the term of this lease.
Irrespective of when such information is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall
thereafter pay Adjusted Rent as provided herein, and shall make a payment, on or
before the first day of the next following calendar month, equal to the
difference, if any, between the new Adjusted Rent and the old Adjusted Rent
multiplied by the number of months elapsed between January 1 of said calendar
year and the first day of said next following calendar month. Tenant's
obligation to make this "catch-up" payment each year shall survive the
expiration of earlier termination of this lease.

           (f) "Index" shall mean the "Consumer Price Index - All Urban
Consumers - Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim Metropolitan Area" complied by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, based on 1982-1984 as 100
(the "Base"). If the Base of the Index should hereafter be changed, then the new
base shall be converted to the Base, and the base as so converted shall be used.
If a substantial change is made in the Index, the revised Index shall be used,
subject to such adjustments as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate in order
to make the revised Index comparable to the prior Index. If the Bureau of Labor
Statistics ceases to publish the Index, then the successor or most nearly
comparable Index, as reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be used, subject
to such adjustments as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate in order to make
the new index comparable to the Index.

           (g) Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of $N/A as security
                                                             ----
for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this lease to be
performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of
rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of this security deposit
for the payment of any rent of other sum in defaults, or for the payment of any
other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for
the cost of cleaning and repairing the Premises, and/or removing and storing
Tenant's personal property, at the expiration or earlier termination of this
lease. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within
five (5) days after written demand therefore deposit cash with Landlord in an
amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this lease. Landlord
shall not be required to keep this security deposit separate from its general
funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. Upon
termination of Landlord's interest in the Building the Landlord, or his agent,
shall, by complying with Section 1950.5 of the California Civil Code relieve
Landlord of further liability with respect to the security deposit. Tenant
hereby waives any provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, regarding
security deposits, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit
only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent,
to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises. Tenant agrees that
Landlord may collect against the security deposit all sums reasonably necessary
to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or
unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer,
employee, agent or invitee of Tenant.

                                       -1-

           (h)   Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
rent or other sums due from Tenant under this lease will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this lease, and that the exact amount of such costs
would be extremely difficult and impracticable to fix in advance. Such costs
include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
that may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note
secured by an encumbrance covering the Building or any portion thereof.
Therefore, if any installment of rent or any other amount due from Tenant under
this lease is not received by Landlord within five (5) business days after the
date when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, an additional sum of
ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that
this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimated of the costs that
Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late
charge shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy
available to Landlord. Said late charge shall be payable in addition to interest
payable pursuant to this Article 2, and shall bear interest as provided in
Article 32 of this Lease.

     4.    Parking.

           (a)   So long as this lease remains in effect, Landlord shall, unless
prevented by strikes or other labor or trouble, inability to procure materials,
acts of God, or other causes beyond Landlord's control, maintain and operate, or
cause to be maintained and operated, automobile parking facilities in,
adjacent to or within a reasonable distance from the Building.

           (b)   Tenant shall be entitled to lease 21 parking stalls or parking
spaces in such parking facility or facilities on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Parking Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, subject to
cancellation by Landlord in whole or in part at any time upon not less than
thirty (30) days' notice. The location of parking stalls or parking spaces or
facilities leased may, at Landlord's option be changed to any other parking
facility. Reasonable amounts of visitor parking will be available on a first
come first served basis at the then prevailing visitor parking rates.

      5.   Increase in Taxes and Operating Costs.

           (a)   If, in any calendar year during the term of this lease after
the calendar year 1998, (hereinafter called the "base year") the cost of either
Landlord's property taxes or Landlord's operating expenses or both (as
hereinafter defined) shall be higher than such costs for the base year, the rent
payable by Tenant for such calendar year shall be increased from the prior year
by adding an amount thereto equal to the product of the increase in such costs
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the net rentable floor area
of the Premises and the denominator of which is the net rentable floor area of
the entire Building. Said rent shall be further pro-rated for any portion of a
calendar year at the end of the term based upon a 360-day year. The rent for any
given year shall not be decreased below the rent payable for the prior year for
any reason.

          (b)    Definitions. For the purpose of this Article 5 the following
definitions shall apply:

                 (i)  "Property tax costs" shall mean real property taxes,
occupancy taxes, and assessments upon this Building, Improvements therein, and
the land upon which it is located imposed by any governmental authority or
agency, and any tax on or measured by rents impose I wholly or partly in lieu
thereof, but shall not include any net income, franchise, capital stock, estate
or inheritance taxes (except as provided in Section (d) of this Article 5). The
property tax cost for the base year shall be deemed to be the product of the
assessed valuation of the Building and land as of the first Monday in March,
1998, and the aggregate tax rate for the fax fiscal year during which this lease
is executed. If the assessed valuation shall be reduced for any tax fiscal year
which affects the property taxes for any calendar year for which a rent
adjustment shall have been made, such adjustment shall be recalculated to take
into account such reduction in property taxes (less any expense incurred by
Landlord in obtaining such reduction) and any over-payment by Tenant shall be
credited against the rent next due hereunder.

                 (ii) "Operating costs" shall mean the sum of the cost of all
utilities, building supplies, repairs and maintenance, amortized capital
improvements and replacements and rehabilitations thereof which are intended to
reduce Landlord's operating costs or which are required by law plus actual or
imputed interest thereon, the cost of insurance maintained by landlord, expenses
incurred by Landlord pursuant to Section (g) of Article 16, and the cost of
labor and services of employees and independent contractors incurred by Landlord
in maintaining, managing, and operating the Building; such labor costs shall
include the cost of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe
benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with
the day-to-day operation, maintenance, repair and overhaul of the Building. Its
equipment, and the adjacent walks and landscaped areas, including but without
limitation, administrative and office employees of Landlord, engineers, elevator
starters, janitors, foreman, floor waxers, window washers, watchmen and
gardeners, but excluding other persons performing services not uniformly
available to or performed for substantially all tenants of the Building.
Landlord's operating costs of the base year shall be deemed to be the operating
costs incurred by Landlord during the later of (A) the period of twelve (12)
consecutive calendar months next following the calendar month in which sixty
percent (60%) of the net rentable area of the Building its first occupied, and
(B) the calendar year 1998, and normalized to an occupancy rate in the Building
of one hundred percent (100%).

           (c)   Procedures.

                 (i)  On or before the first day of July in each year following
the base year, or as soon thereafter as the information may reasonably be
available, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement showing
Landlord's property tax costs and Landlord's operating costs for the preceding
calendar and for the base year indicating the amount, if any, of increase or
decrease in the rent due from Tenant for such preceding calendar year. The
failure of Landlord to furnish such a statement for any year shall not preclude
Landlord from enforcing its rights under this article for such year or any other
year.

                 (ii) Within thirty (30) days after any such written statement
is furnished to Tenant showing an increase in the rent payable hereunder. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to such increase for the preceding
calendar year, plus an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of such increase
multiplied by the number of rent payment dates then elapsed during the
then-current calendar year. Thereafter, until a new statement is furnished, the
monthly rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal
to one-twelfth (1/12) of such annual rent increase.

           (d)   If at any time during the term of this lease the method of
taxation in effect on the date of this lease shall be so changed that the whole
or any part of ad velorem real property taxes new imposed, assessed or levied on
the Building and the land on which it is located shall be replaced, in whole or
in part, as revenue sources by one or more replacement taxes, including, without
limitation, a net income, adjusted gross income or receipts, gross income, value
added, excise or documentary stamp tax (hereinafter collectively called
"Replacement Taxes"), which are measured or calculated by or based, in whole or
in part, upon the land and/or the Building or on the rents delivered therefrom
and imposed upon Landlord, then Tenant shall bear the expense of and reimburse
Landlord for Tenant's share (as calculated in Section (a) of this Article 5) of
all such Replacement Taxes payable by Landlord; provided, however, any and all
Replacement Taxes shall be computed as if Landlord owned no property other than

assessment levied against the Building and the land upon which it is located or
against either, which shall become due and payable in full, or in installments,
during the term of this lease, in this proportion that the area of the Premises
bears to the total net rentable area of the Building. For the purposes of this
Section (a) of this Article 5, payment in installments over the longest possible
permitted period will be deemed to have been elected by Landlord in any instance
where a determinable option to pay any such special assessment existed, or may
exist, notwithstanding that the special assessment may have been, or may
hereinafter be, paid in full, and Tenant shall bear the expense of only that
portion (computed as aforesaid) of such installments as would have become due
and payable during the term of this lease, had the longest installment option
been so elected. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such proportionate share of
special assessments, or installments thereof, required to be borne by Tenant
within twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord's written request accompanied
by a copy of the special assessment bill from the collecting authority and a
statement of the calculations showing the proportion thereof to be borne by
Tenant.

Building planning program, Landlord, upon notifying Tenant in writing, shall
have the right to move Tenant to another space in the Building at Landlord's
sole cost and expense, and the terms and conditions of this lease shall remain
in full force and effect, save and excepting that the Premises shall be in a row
location. If the new space does not meet with Tenant's approval, however, Tenant

Premises and specifications for all standard items to be contained therein.
Within five (5) days after receipt thereof, Tenant shall approve said
preliminary plans and specifications and shall provide Landlord with complete
and detailed information of additions, deletions or revisions to be contained in
the final plans and specifications. Landlord shall thereafter submit said final
plans and specifications to Tenant for approval and within five (5) days
thereafter, Tenant shall either approve said final plans and specifications, or
disapprove them in writing specifying how they are inconsistent with the
information provided by Tenant to Landlord. If neither approval nor disapproval

any other item on Tenant's final plans and specifications, and shall pay such
cost and expense upon written demand therefor; and

shall be of the type, color and quality selected by Landlord as standard for the
Building, and shall be in accordance with Landlord's specifications. All
contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen performing work in the Building or
the Premises shall be subject to Landlords approval. It is understood and agreed
that Tenant may request that materials selected by it be used in lieu of
standard materials of the Building. Any such substituted materials which are to
be furnished by Landlord at the direction of Tenant will be furnished on an "as
available from supplier" basis. If, because materials other than those standard
for the Building are substituted. Tenant's move-in is delayed because of
non-availability of any such substituted materials, then rent shall commence on
the date the suite would have been ready for occupancy but for Tenant's
specification of substituted materials. If Landlord shall approve such
substituted materials, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord any increase in the cost as estimated by
Landlord for such substituted materials and the installation thereof over and
above Landlord's estimate of the cost of providing and installing standard
materials of the Building. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the
increase in cost within a reasonable time after receiving Tenant's request, and
Tenant shall have five (5) days to approve such amount or to request further
changes in the plans and specifications. If no changes in the plans and
specifications are made, or if Tenant does not indicate its approval at such
additional amount within five (5) days after receipt of the notification of the
increased costs from Landlord, then said increased costs shall be deemed to be
approved, and Tenant shall pay this amount upon written demand by Landlord.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable expenses incurred in
any review and/or approval performed by Landlord pursuant to this Article 7
and/or Article 11, including without limitation a fee of 10% of the contract
price for the supervision of the work of outside contractors.

     8. Personal Property Taxes and Business Taxes. Tenant shall pay in full and
in a timely manner all taxes levied against the personal property of Tenant, and
Landlord shall have no liability therefor. if the Tenant's improvements in the
Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or
not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed
for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which
Tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's standard building materials in
other space in the Building are assessed, than the real property taxes and
assessments levied against landlord or the property by reason or such excess
assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property
of Tenant and the payment thereof shall be governed by the provisions of this
Article 8. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently
detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements
are assessed at a higher valuation than Landlord's Building Standard, such
records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If the records of
the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a
basis for making such determination, the actual retail cost of construction and
materials shall be used.

purposes and shall not use or occupy the Premises for any other purpose without
the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use or occupy the

done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance
policy covering the Building and/or property located therein and shall comply
with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Pacific Fire Rating

any of Landlord's rights hereunder, Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse
Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of
Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 9.

any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to
the Premises or the Building or with respect to the suitability of either for
the conduct of Tenant's business or profession. The taking of possession of the
Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the
Building were at such time in satisfactory condition and in accordance with the
final plans and specifications.

part thereof, at the end of the term hereof, except that Landlord may, by notice

within ten (10) days thereof the amount of such air conditioning charge computed
at the rate of $33.00 per hour, which rate shall be subject to increases to
reflect increased costs borne by Landlord when providing such service. If Tenant
brings any equipment into the Premises which causes additional or unusual
amounts of charges for utilities, then it is understood and agreed that Tenant
shall be responsible, at his sole expense, for the utilities which result from
the use of this equipment and the cost of a separate meter installation for such
utilities.

           (e)  The refusal on the part of Tenant to pay, upon demand of
Landlord, the additional rent or charges herein provided shall constitute a
material breach of this lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights and
remedies hereinafter granted for such breach, including without limitation the
termination of providing after hours or additional air conditioning.

     14.  Access. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining or inspecting the
same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or tenants of the Building, and
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
to the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. During the six
months prior to the end of the term of this lease, Landlord may exhibit the
Premises to prospective tenants during reasonable hours. If Tenant shall not be
personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time
when such an entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder. Landlord may
enter by means of a master key or may enter forcibly, without liability to
Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant's property, and
without effecting Tenant's obligations under this lease.

     15.  Damage to Property; Injury to Persons.

           (a)  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against and
from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises or the conduct
of his business or profession or from any activity, work, or thing done,
permitted or suffered by the Tenant in, or about the Premises, and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all direct and/or
consequential claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of
any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this lease,
or arising from any act or negligence of the Tenant, or his agents, contractors,
servants, licensees, invitees or employees, and from and against all costs,
attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or
any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding
be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from
Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's expenses by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons,
in, upon or about the Premises from any cause other than Landlord's or its
agents' willful misconduct or negligence, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
respect thereof against Landlord. Upon Landlord's demand before or after the
expiration or earlier termination of the term of this lease, Tenant shall
perform such acts, and shall execute such agreements, as are reasonably
necessary to assure Landlord (and such other persons or entities as Landlord
deems necessary) of Tenant's obligation to abide by the provisions of this
Section (s) of Article 15.

           (b)  Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage
to property entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for loss of or damage to
any property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or
property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas,
electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building nor from
the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein nor from the roof, street, or
sub-surface nor from any other place or resulting from dampness nor from any
other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Neither landlord nor
its agents shall be liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal
hereditements, nor be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the
Building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or
accidents in the Premises or in the Building, or of defects therein or in the
fixtures or equipment.

     15.  Rights of landlord. In addition to the rights as otherwise provided in
this lease, the Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to change the name
of the Building without notice or liability to Tenant; (b) to designate all
sources furnishing sign painting or lettering, ice, mineral water, towel,
janitorial, or maintenance services, or the like, or toilet supplies used on the
Premises; (c) at any time during the last ninety days of the term if during or
prior to that time the Tenant vacates the Premises (even if Tenant has not
breached the lease or abandoned the Premises) to decorate, remodel, repair,
after or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy; (d) constantly to have
pass keys to the Premises; (e) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct
any particular business or undertaking in the Building; (f) to enter the
Premises at any time for inspections, repairs, alterations or additions to the
Premises

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

or the Building, to exhibit the Premises to others, to a fix and display "For
Rent" signs, and for any purpose whatsoever related to the safety, protection,
preservation on or improvement of the Premises, the Building or the Landlord's
interest, without being deemed guilty of an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's
use and possession, and without being liable in any manner to the Tenant on
account thereof; (g) at any time, and from time to time, whether at the instance
of Landlord or pursuant to government requirements, at Landlord's expense, to
make repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or decorating, whether
structural or otherwise, in or to the Building or any part thereof, including
the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing rights, Landlord
shall specifically have the right to remove, alter, improve or rebuild the lobby
of the Building as the same is presently or shall hereafter be constituted, or
the light court of the Building as the same is presently or shall hereafter be
constituted, of any part or parts thereof, Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any expense, injury, loss or damage resulting from any work so done
in or about the Premises of the Building or any adjacent or nearby building,
land, street or alley, all claims against the Landlord for any and all such
liability being hereby expressly released by Tenant. In connection with making
repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or improvements under the terms of
this Article 16, the Landlord shall have the right to access through the
Premises as well as the right to take into and upon and through the Premises or
any other part of the Building, all material that may be required to make such
repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or improvements as well as the right
in the course of such work to close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, or
other facilities of the Building, or temporarily to abate the operations of such
facilities, without being deemed or held guilty of an eviction of Tenant and
without liability for damages to Tenant's property, business or person and
without liability to Tenant by reason of interference with the business of
Tenant or inconvenience or annoyance to the Tenant or the customers of the
Tenant. The rent reserved herein shall in no wise abate while said repairs,
alterations, decorating, additions or improvements are being made and Tenant
shall not be entitled to maintain any set-off or counter-claim for damages of
any kind against Landlord by reason thereof, all such clams being hereby
expressly released by the Tenant. However, all such work shall be done in such
manner as to cause Tenant the least inconvenience practicable. Landlord reserves
and shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of posting
and maintaining such notices on the Premises as may be necessary to protect
Landlord against mechanic's, materialman's or other liens and any other notices
that may be proper and necessary.

     17. Assignment and Subletting.

           (a) Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law,
sell, hypothecate, assign, or transfer this lease, or sublet the Premises or any
part thereof, or permit the same to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or
Tenant's employees without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt
to do so without such prior written consent shall be void and at Landlord's
option shall terminate this lease. Tenant shall use no broker or other agent to
market the Premises for the purpose of assigning or subletting this lease except
those persons or entities designated by Landlord. Landlord agrees not to
unreasonably withhold its consent provided the proposed assignee or subleasee
(i) is, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, satisfactory to Landlord as
to credit, character and business or professional standing, (ii) will occupy the
Premises for office purposes not inconsistent with the permitted use hereunder
or with Landlord's commitment to other tenants of the Building, and (iii)
assumes and agrees to be bound and directly responsible for all of Tenant's
past, present and future obligations hereunder. Tenant however, agrees that
Landlord's consent to any such assignment or sublease shall in no event be
construed as releasing Tenant from its past, present and future liabilities and
obligations hereunder nor as relieving Tenant from the requirement of obtaining
landlord's prior written consent to any further assignment or subletting.

           (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after
receiving a proposed assignment or sublet agreement duly executed by Tenant and
its proposed assignee or subleasee, Landlord shall have the right to either
grant or withhold its consent in accordance with the above or to terminate this
lease and release Tenant and itself from any and all remaining obligations
hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable costs
incurred in granting or denying such consent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
additional rent, any profit to Tenant or its affiliates relating to said
assignment or sublease or collateral agreement, whether characterized as rent,
above market purchases of assets, or otherwise.

           (c) If Lessee is a corporation, unincorporated association, trust, or
general or limited partnership, the sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation
of a controlling (25% or more) interest in the stock, membership certificates,
partnership interests, or other ownership interests of such entity shall be
deemed an assignment subject to the provisions of this Article 17.

     18. Damage or Destruction.

           (a) Except as elsewhere provided in this lease if the Premises or the
Building are damaged by fire or other casualty the damage shall be repaired by
and at the expense of Landlord, provided such repairs can, in Landlord's
opinion, be made within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage
without the payment of overtime or other premiums. There shall be no abatement
of rent by reason of any portion of the Premises being unusable for a period of
sixty (60) days or less. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant
or his employees, there shall be no abatement of rent regardless of the period
which the Premises are unusable.

           (b) If such repairs cannot, in Landlord's opinion, be make within
sixty (60) days after the occurrences of such damage Landlord may, at its
option, make them within a reasonable time and in such event this lease shall
continue in effect and the rent shall be apportioned according to the part of
the Premises usable by Tenant during the course of repairs as it relates to the
entire Premises, Landlord's election to make such repairs must be evidenced by
notice to Tenant with sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage.

           (c) Nothwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 18, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Premises on account of the damage resulting from any
casualty covered under this Article 18 which occurs during the last twelve (12)
months of the term of this lease (or any extension thereof). Landlord shall not
be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make
any repairs or replacement of any panels, decoration, office fixtures, railing,
ceiling, floor covering, partitions, or any other property contained in or
installed by Tenant in the Premises.

           (d) With respect to any damage which Landlord is obligated to repair
or elects to repair, Tenant hereby waves the provisions of Sections 1932(2) and
1933(4) of the California Civil Code.

           (e) If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs which cannot
be made within sixty (60) days, then either party may, by notice to the other,
cancel this lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. A total
destruction of the Building shall automatically terminate this lease.


     19. Eminent Domain. If the whole of the Premises or so much thereof as to
render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken under power of eminent
domain, this lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such
condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority,
or as otherwise herein provided whichever is earlier. No award for any partial
or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant now hereby assigns to Landlord
any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any
and all rights of Tenant or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part
thereof. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination
of this lease, the rent shall be apportioned according to the part of the
Premises remaining unusable by Tenant, Landlord may, without any obligation or
liability to Tenant, stipulate with any condemning authority for a judgment of
condemnation without the necessity of a formal suit or judgment of condemnation,
and the date of taking under the clause shall then be deemed the date agreed to
under the terms of said agreement for stipulation.

     20. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breech of this lease;

           (a) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein
defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the
Premises for five (5) days or longer while in default of any provision of this
leave.

           (b) A failure by Tenant to pay the rent, or to make any other payment
required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues until the
earlier of (i) ten (10) days after the date such payment was due, or (ii) a
period of three (3) days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided,
however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any
notice

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

           (c) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any provision of this
lease, not involving the payment of money, to be observed or performed by
Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof
by Landlord to Tenant (or for twenty-four (24) hours after similar notice when
such failure constitutes an emergency, a nuisance, or a dangerous of unlawful
condition); provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not
in addition to, any notice required under Section 1157 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure; provided, further, that if the nature of such default is such
that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty-day period for such
twenty-four hour period) Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant
shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute
the same to completion.

           (d) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged
a bankrupt of or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law
relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant)
the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to take possession for substantially all Tenant's assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored
to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of substantially all of the Tenant's assets located at the Premises or
of Tenant's interest in this lease, where such seizure is not discharged within
thirty (30) days.

           (e) A default by a guarantor of this lease ("Guarantor"), if any,
under the agreement, instrument, or document evidencing such guaranty; a
material adverse change in the financial strength of Guarantor; any event
described in Section (d) of this Article 20 performed by or occurring to
Guarantor rather than by or to Tenant as described therein; the performance by
Guarantor of any act that, if so performed by Tenant, would constitute a default
under this lease.

           (f) Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance
of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it
has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after notice
by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such
obligations provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for the performance then
Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such
performance within such thirty-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes
the same to completion.

           (g) If Landlord defaults or branches this lease, Tenant's remedies
shall be limited to an action for damages, injunction, or specific performance,
and shall not include the withholding of rent or the termination of this lease.

     21. Remedies. At any time after a material default or breech committed
hereunder by Tenant and at Landlord's option and without limiting the Landlord
in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have at law or
in equity by reason of such default or breech, with or without notice or demand:

           (a) Landlord may re-enter the Premises with or without process of law
and take possession of the same and of all equipment and fixtures of Tenant
therein, and expel or remove Tenant and all other parties occupying the
Premises, using such force as may be reasonably necessary to do so without being
liable to any prosecution for such re-entry or for the use of such force, and
without terminating this lease, without notice of any kind to tenant at any time
and from time to time, relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of
Tenant, for such term, upon such conditions and at such rental rate as Landlord
may prepare. In such event, Landlord may receive and collect the rent from, such
reletting and apply it against any amounts due from Tenant hereunder (including,
but without limitation, such expenses as Landlord may have incurred in
recovering possession of the Premises, placing the same in good order and
condition, altering or repairing the same for reletting, and all other expenses,
commissions and charges including attorney's fees which Landlord may have paid
or incurred in connection with such repossession and reletting) Landlord may
execute any lease made pursuant hereto in Landlord's name or in the name of
Tenant, and under no obligation to see to the application by Landlords of any
rent collected by Landlord, nor shall Tenant have any right to collect any rent
thereunder. Whether or not the Premises are relet, Tenant shall pay Landlord all
amounts required to be paid by Tenant up to the date of Landlord's re-entry and
thereafter Tenant shall pay Landlord, until the end of the term hereof, the
amount of all rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder,
less the proceeds of such reletting during the term hereof, if any, after
payment of Landlord's expense as provided above. Such payments by Tenant shall
be due at such time as are provided elsewhere in this lease, and Landlord need
not wait until the termination of this lease to recover them by legal action or
otherwise. Landlord shall not by any re-entry or other act be deemed to have
terminated this lease or the liability of Tenant for the total rent hereunder
unless Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to
terminate this lease.

           (b) Landlord may give notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to
terminate this lease, re-enter the Premises with or without process of law and
take possession of the same and of all equipment and fixtures therein, and expel
or remove Tenant and all other parties occupying the Premises, using such force
as may be reasonably necessary to do so, without being liable to any prosecution
to such re-entry or for the use of such force, in the event Landlord shall
thereupon be entitled to recover from Tenant:

                 (i)   the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which
had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

                 (ii)  the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such loss in rents that Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided; plus

                 (iii) the worth at the time or award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such loss in rents that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
plus

                 (iv)  any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform his obligations
under this lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom.

           (c) As used in Subsections (b)(i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the
time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of the maximum
rate allowed by law and the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As used in
Subsection(b)(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by
discounting such amount at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed by law and the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus one percent (1%).

           (d) Landlord shall have the rights and remadies, provided in Section
1951.4 of the California Civil Code wherein it provides, in part, that although
Tenant has breeched this lease this lease continues in affect for so long as
Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession and Landlord may
enforce all his rights and remedies under this lease.

     22. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe faithfully and comply
strictly with the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a
part hereof, and such other rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to
time reasonably adopt for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Building or
the preservation of good order therein. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for violation of any such Rules and Regulations, or for the breech of any
covenant or condition in any lease, by any other tenant in the Building.

     23. Conflict of Laws. This lease shall be governed by and construed
pursuant to the laws of the State of California.

     24. End of Term. At the termination of this lease Tenant shall surrender
the Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as reasonable and
proper use thereof will permit. Tenant may remove, and at Landlord's request
shall remove, all of the trade fixtures, personal property and signs, provided
such removal will not structurally injure the Premises and Tenant agrees to
restore the Premises to its original condition reasonable wear and tear
excepted. Any property not so removed within ten (10) days after termination
shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and thereafter Landlord's property which
Landlord may use, remove or dispose of as Landlordand sees fix without
obligation to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any cost incurred by
Landlord in such removal or disposition or in repairing or restoring the
Premises. Tenant shall further indemnity Landlord against all losses, costs and
damages

                                      -6-


<PAGE>

resulting from Tenant's failure and delay in surrendering the Premises in a good
clean condition.

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

     26.   Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this lease,
all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and respective hires,
personal representatives, successors and assigns.

     27.   Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by Landlord,
Tenant, or third parties hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by
personal delivery or by mail, and if by mail shall be deemed sufficiently given
if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at
the Building or to Landlord at 3250 WILSHIRE BLVD., LOS ANGELES, CA #704, as
the case may be. Either party may, by notice to the other party specify a
different address for notice purposes except that Landlord may in any event use
the Premises as Tenant's address for notice purposes.

     28.   Insurance. Tenant shall carry at its own expense during the term
hereof combined single limit insurance coverage for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage in or about the Premises in the amount of $1,000,000
per accident, or such higher amount as Landlord may hereafter require. Said
insurance shall be written by companies satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with satisfactory evidence of such insurance prior to and
during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and Tenant shall obtain from its
insurance carrier a waiver of subrogation against Landlord. Tenant shall also
carry at its own expense window, door and transom glass insurance in the
Premises. If Tenant fails to obtain any insurance as provided in this lease,
Landlord may obtain any such insurance, and the cost thereof shall be paid by
Tenant as additional rent with the first payment of rent which is due subsequent
to Landlord's incurring such cost and Landlord shall have all remedies to
collect the same as rent as provided in this lease, and/or as otherwise provided
by law for the collection of rent. Such policy shall name Landlord and others as
may be designated by Landlord as an additional insured and a loss payee, and
shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' notice to Landlord of cancellation.
Landlord is not obligated to carry insurance on Tenant's possessions.

     29.   Brokers. Tenant warrants that Tenant has had no dealings with any
real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this lease,
excepting only REALTECH LEASING & MANAGEMENT CO., FRANCK MORINEAU, and that
Tenant knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled
to a commission in connection with this lease. Tenant shall indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all costs, damages, and
liability (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs) for any
brokerage commissions or finder's fees claimed by persons other than those set
forth above in this paragraph.

     30.   Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this lease shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent
breech by Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or
approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not
be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or
approval of any subsequent act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so
consented to or approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents
during the term of this lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of
the Premises and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless
in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord's
agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the
termination of this lease, and the delivery of the keys or any such employee
shall not operate as a termination of this lease or a surrender of the Premises.

     31.   Estoppal Certificate.

           (a)    Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon not less
than ten (10) days prior notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Landlord 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 rents and other charges are paid in advance,
if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, hereunder, or specifying such defaults
if any are claimed. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which
the Premises are a part.

           (b)    Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there
are no unsecured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more
than one month's rents have been paid in advance.

     32.   Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any amount due from Tenant to
Landlord hereunder which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser
of the maximum rate allowed by law and the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum from the due date until paid, unless otherwise specifically provide
herein, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by
Tenant under this lease.

     33.   Transfer of Landlord's Interest. If there is any transfer of
Landlord's interest in the Premises or in the real property of which the
Premises are a part, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and
all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord from accruing and after
the date of each Transfer.

     34.   Holding Over. If Tenant shall hold over and beyond the term of this
lease with the consent expressed or implied of Landlord, such holding shall be
construed to be a tenancy only from month to month and Tenant will pay an amount
of holdover rent equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the rent as above
specified for such further time as tenant may continue its occupancy. the
foregoing provisions of this Article 34 are in addition to and do not effect
Landlord's right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or as
otherwise provided by law.

     35.   Inability to Perform. This lease and the obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to
fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such
inability or delay is caused by reason of strike or other labor troubles, or act
of God, or any other causes beyond the control of Landlord.

     36.   Name. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building for any purpose
other than as the address of the business or profession to be conducted by
Tenant in the Premises.

     37.   Separability. Any provision of this lease which shall prove to be
wholly or partially invalid, void or illegal shall be enforced to the greatest
extent possible, and, to the extent that such provision cannot be enforced, it
shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and all
such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

     38.   Attorneys' Fees. If Landlord brings suit for the possession of the
Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this lease, or because of the
breech of any provision of this lease, or for any other relief against Tenant
hereunder, or if Tenant brings any action for any relief against Landlord
arising out of this lease, then all costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by prevailing party
therein shall be paid by the other party whether or not the action is prosecuted
to judgement. If Landlord is named as a defendant in any suit brought against

constitute a material default under this lease.

expenses of Tenant. Landlord may perform Tenant's defaulted obligation without
notice in a case of emergency, also at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

           (b)  Any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any

principals, for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under this lease, or for
the collection of a judgement (or other judicial process) requiring the payment
of money by Landlord. The covenants and agreements contained in this Article 59
shall be enforceable by Landlord and its successors and assigns.

     60.  Termination. No termination or expiration of this Lease shall serve to
