3.       TERM.

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

         3.2.     EARLY POSSESSION. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after the
Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay
Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All other
terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to
pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to carry the 


<PAGE>   6

insurance required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such period. Any
such early possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration Date of the
Original Term.

         3.3.     DELAY IN POSSESSION. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by the
Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of
Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any
other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee
may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days after
the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually commences, if
possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does
not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay
Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the
date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to the period
during which the Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under the terms hereof, but
minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.

         4.1.     BASE RENT. Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful
money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on

charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full
month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month
involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges shall be made to Lessor at its
address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other addresses as
Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.

specified in Paragraph 1.6(b)) of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as

                           (ix)     Any other services to be provided by Lessor
that are stated elsewhere in this Lease to be a Common Area Operating Expense.

                  (b)      Any Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property
Taxes that are specifically attributable to the Building or to any other
building in the Industrial Center or to the operation, repair and maintenance
thereof, shall be allocated entirely to the Building or to such other building.
However, any Common Area Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes that are not
specifically attributable to the Building or to any other building or to the
operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall be equitably allocated by
Lessor to all buildings in the Industrial Center.

                  (c)      The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and
services set forth in Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not be deemed to impose an
obligation upon Lessor to either have said improvements or facilities or to

has the same, Lessor already provides the services, or Lessor has agreed
elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same or some of them.

                  (d)      Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses
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 of
Lessee's Share of annual Common Area Operating Expenses and the same shall be
payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each 12-month
period of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder.
Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the
actual Common Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If
Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year exceed
Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall be credited the
amount of such over payment against Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating
Expenses next becoming due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d)
during said preceding 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. 

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

6.       USE.

         6.1.     PERMITTED USE.

                  (a)      Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which is
reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or
permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is 


<PAGE>   9

unlawful, creates waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants
of, or causes damage to the Premises or neighboring premises or properties.

                  (b)      Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or
subtenants, and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its assignees
and subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long as the same
will not impair the structural integrity of the Improvements on the Premises or
in the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, does not
conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly more burdensome to the
Premises or the Building and the Improvements thereon, and is otherwise
permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such
consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give a
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.

         6.2.     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

                  (a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical,
material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect,
either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the
Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or
welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to
any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common
law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products or by-products
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or about the Premises which
constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances
without the express prior written consent of Lessor and compliance in a timely
manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all Applicable Requirements (as
defined Paragraph 6.3). "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use
of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires
a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or
business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and
(iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with
respect to which any Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons
entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to
Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and
customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal
course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and
does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of
contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition,
Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any
Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor
such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems
necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment
against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but
not limited to the installation (and, at Lessor's option, removal


<PAGE>   10

on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary
protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or
the deposit of an additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

                  (b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on,
under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously consented
to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice thereof,
together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration,
application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given
to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party concerning the
presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance
including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Use Involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the
Premises (including, without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer
system).

                  (c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and
the Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities,
judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and
attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous
Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under Lessee's
control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall include, but not
be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or
the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation
(including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee
shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to
Hazardous Substances, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the
time of such agreement.

         6.3.     LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply
with all "APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS," which term is used in this Lease to mean all
laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and
restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises (including
but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii)
environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil and
groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture, production,
installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill, or release
of any Hazardous Substance), now in effect or which may hereafter come into
effect. Lessee shall, within five (5) days after receipt of Lessor's written
request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and information, including
but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and
certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements
specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in
writing (with copies of any 


<PAGE>   11

documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation,
warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee or the
Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.

         6.4.     INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lessor, Lessor's agents,
employees, contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("LENDERS") shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition
of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease and all
Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and Lessor shall be
entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith to advise
Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited to
Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal of
any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of any
such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a Default or
Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable Requirements or a
contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist
or to be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by a
governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent violation
or contamination. In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or
Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and expenses of such
inspections. 

7.       MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES AND
ALTERATIONS.

         7.1.     LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition),
2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code), 7.2 (Lessor's
Obligations, 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense and at all times, keep the Premises and every
part thereof in good order, condition and repair (whether or not such portion of
the Premises requiring repair, or the means of repairing the same, are
reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether or not the need for such
repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or the
age of such portion of the Premises), including, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, all equipment or facilities specifically serving the Premises,
such as plumbing, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or unfired
pressure vessels, fire hose connections if within the Premises, fixtures,
interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings, floors, windows,
doors, plate glass, and skylights, but excluding any items which are the
responsibility of Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 below. Lessee, in keeping the
Premises in good order, condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good
maintenance practices. Lessee's obligations shall include restorations,
replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all
improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of
repair.

                  (b) [Omitted intentionally.]

<PAGE>   12

                  (c) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no
notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf, and put
the Premises in good order, condition and repair, in accordance with Paragraph
13.2 below.

         7.2.     LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building
Code), 4.2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee's
Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor, subject
to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of interior
bearing walls, exterior roof, fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose (if
located in the Common Areas) or other automatic fire extinguishing system
including fire alarm and/or smoke detection systems and equipment, fire
hydrants, parking lots, walkways, parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences,
signs and utility systems serving the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as
well as providing the services for which there is a Common Area Operating
Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the
exterior or interior surfaces of exterior walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to
maintain, repair or replace windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises.
Lessee expressly waives the benefit 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
Building, Industrial Center or Common Areas in good order, condition and repair.

         7.3.     UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES, ALTERATIONS.

                  (a) DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY
INSTALLATIONS" is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications
systems, lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment,
plumbing, and fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term "TRADE FIXTURES"
shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed without doing
material damage to the Premises. The term "ALTERATIONS" shall mean any
modification of the improvements on the Premises which are provided by Lessor
under the terms of this Lease, other than Utility Installations or Trade
Fixtures. "LESSEE-OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make nor cause to be
made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding
the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they
are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve puncturing,
relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing or
interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the cumulative
cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does not exceed
$2,500.00.

                  (b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written 


<PAGE>   13

form with detailed plans. All consents given by Lessor, whether by virtue of
Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent, shall be deemed conditioned
upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits required by governmental
authorities; (ii) the furnishing of copies of such permits together with a copy
of the plans and specifications for the Alteration or Utility Installation to
Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon; and (iii) the compliance by
Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner.
Any Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient
materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Lessee shall
promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation to do so) condition
its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation that costs
$2,500.00 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and completion bond
in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such
Alteration or Utility Installation.

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

         7.4.     OWNERSHIP, REMOVAL, SURRENDER, AND RESTORATION.

                  (a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require their
removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided
in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the
Premises by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered
a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in
writing to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed
per Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
become the property of Lessor and remain upon the Premises and be surrendered
with the Premises by Lessee.

                  (b) REMOVAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may
require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be
removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding
that their installation may have been 


<PAGE>   14

consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any
part of any Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required
consent of Lessor.

                  (c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the Premises
by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date,
clean and free of debris and in good operating order, condition and state of
repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not
include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good
maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this
Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as
surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility Installations. The
obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the
installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, as well as
the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal,
replacement, or remediation of any soil, material or ground water contaminated
by Lessee, all as may then be required by Applicable Requirements and/or good
practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall
be removed by Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the
Premises per this Lease. 

8.       INSURANCE; INDEMNITY. See Addendum 3.

         8.1.     PAYMENT OF PREMIUM INCREASES.

                  (a) As used herein, the term "INSURANCE COST INCREASE" is
defined as any increase in the actual cost of the insurance applicable to the
Building and required to be carried by Lessor pursuant to Paragraphs 8.2(b),
8.3(a) and 8.3(b), ("REQUIRED INSURANCE"), over and above the Base Premium, as
hereinafter defined, calculated on an annual basis. "Insurance Cost Increase"
shall include, but not be limited to, requirements of the holder of a mortgage
or deed of trust covering the Premises, increased valuation of the Premises,
and/or a general premium rate increase. The term "Insurance Cost Increase" shall
not, however, include any premium increases resulting from the nature of the
occupancy of any other lessee of the Building. If the parties insert a dollar
amount in Paragraph 1.9, such amount shall be considered the "BASE PREMIUM." If
a dollar amount has not been inserted in Paragraph 1.9 and if the Building has
been previously occupied during the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the Commencement Date, the "Base Premium" shall be the annual premium
applicable to such twelve (12) month period. If the Building was not fully
occupied during such twelve (12) month period, the "Base Premium" shall be the
lowest annual premium reasonably obtainable for the Required Insurance as of the
Commencement Date, assuming the most nominal use possible of the Building. In no
event, however, shall Lessee be responsible for any portion of the premium cost
attributable to liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000 procured
under Paragraph 8.2(b).

                  (b) Lessee shall pay any Insurance Cost Increase to Lessor
pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to, or
extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide with the
corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration Date.


<PAGE>   15

         8.2.     LIABILITY INSURANCE.

                  (a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance
protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been provided to
Lessee in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing
single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with
an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" endorsement and contain
the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" endorsement for damage caused by
heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any
intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall
include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "INSURED CONTRACT"
for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The
limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall
not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall
be considered excess insurance only.

                  (b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall also maintain liability
insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu
of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named
as an additional insured therein.

         8.3.     PROPERTY INSURANCE-BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.

                  (a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. Lessor shall obtain and keep in
force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor,
with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or
damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as
the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s),
but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable
value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements
involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal
property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage
is available and commercially appropriate, Lessor's policy or policies shall
insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of
flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender or included in the Base
Premium), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from debris
removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance
or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of
the Building required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement
of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered
loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said policy or policies shall
also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause,
waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the
annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the
adjusted U.S. Department


<PAGE>   16

of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to
where the Premises are located.

                  (b) RENTAL VALUE. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with
loss payable to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental
and other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for one year
(including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area Operating
Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may provide that in
the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of
indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion
of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss
of rental revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain
an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount
of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
Real Property Taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any,
otherwise payable, for the next 12-month period. Common Area Operating Expenses
shall include any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

                  (c) ADJACENT PREMISES. Lessee shall pay for any increase in
the premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas
or other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused by
Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.

                  (d) LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS. Since Lessor is the Insuring Party,
Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease.

         8.4.     LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at
Lessor's option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in
coverage to that carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a).
Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to
exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used
by Lessee for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Trade
Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request
from Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such
insurance is in force.

         8.5.     INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises are
located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating"
of at least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall not do
or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
referred to in this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor,
within seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the
Commencement Date, certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence
and amounts of, the insurance 


<PAGE>   17

required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such policy shall be cancelable or
subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such
policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance binders"
evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the
cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand.

         8.6.     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against
the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to
the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.

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

         8.8.     EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable
for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any
other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused
by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers,
wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any
other cause, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not. Lessor
shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
lessee of Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any
other 


<PAGE>   18

lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of
this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's
business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. 

         9.       DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

         9.1.     DEFINITIONS.

                  (a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction
to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty percent (50%)
of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of the Premises
(excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

                  (b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent
(50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures)
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. In addition, damage or
destruction to the Building, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of
which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building shall, at the
option of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.

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

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

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

         9.2.     PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE--INSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial 
Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense,
repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, full
replacement cost 


<PAGE>   19

insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall
have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully
restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with
the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days
following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If
Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10)
day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such
funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written
notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to make such restoration and
repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in
proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such ten (10) day period,
and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then this Lease shall
terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the damage or destruction.
Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any right to
reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such
damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall
be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2, notwithstanding that
there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance
shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.

         9.3.     PARTIAL DAMAGE--UNINSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds
or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such
commitment from Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.

         9.4.     TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.

<PAGE>   20

         9.5.     DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six 
(6) months of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to
repair exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor
may, at Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days
following the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to
Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of
occurrence of such damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an
exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee
may preserve this Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor
with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed
to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10)
days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate
this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If
Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with
funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance
proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If
Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance during
such period, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the
first sentence of this Paragraph 9.5.

         9.6.     ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

                  (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii)
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the
Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by
Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its
repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to
the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess
of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except
for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if
any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed
by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered
by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration,
unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor.

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


<PAGE>   21

         9.7. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable
Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject
to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance
Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000 whichever is greater, give written
notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of
the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements,
over (b) an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or
$100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds
required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
following said commitment by Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and
remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time period specified above, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.

         9.8. TERMINATION--ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not
been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.

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

10.      REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

         10.1. PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2(a), applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any increases in such amounts over the
Base Real Property Taxes shall be included in the calculation of Common Area
Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.2. See
Addendum 3.

<PAGE>   22

         10.2.    REAL PROPERTY TAX DEFINITIONS.

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

                  (b) As used herein, the term "BASE REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall
be the amount of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed against the Premises,
Building or Common Areas in the calendar year during which the Lease is
executed. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar year, the Real
Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in the calculation
of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the number of days
which such calendar year and tax year have in common.

         10.3.    ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

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

         10.5.    LESSEE'S PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings equipment and all other 


<PAGE>   23

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

11.      UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If
any such utilities or services or not separately metered to the Premises or
separately billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable
proportion to be determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or
billed with other premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time
periods set forth in Paragraph 4.2(d).

12.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         12.1.    LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.

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

                  (b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall
constitute a change in control for this purpose.

                  (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any
transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition,
financing, refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or
not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets
occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee,
as hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five
percent (25%) of such Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the
time of full execution and delivery of this Lease or at the time of the most
recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately
prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, at
whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater, shall be considered
an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may reasonably withhold
its consent. "NET WORTH OF LESSEE" for purposes of this Lease shall be the net
worth of Lessee (excluding any Guarantors) established under generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

                  (d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this
Lease without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option,
be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a non-curable Breach
without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat
such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a non-curable Breach, Lessor
shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty
(30) days' written notice ("LESSOR'S NOTICE"), increase the monthly Base Rent
for the


<PAGE>   24

Premises to the greater of the then fair market rental value of the Premises, as
reasonably determined by Lessor, or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base
Rent then in effect. Pending determination of the new fair market rental value,
if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in Lessor's Notice,
with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s) of Base Rent
coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to the effective
date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the determination
thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the
purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be
subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value as reasonably
determined by Lessor (without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or any
deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its
highest and best use and in good condition) or one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the price previously in effect, (ii) any index-oriented rental or price
adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require that
the base index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the time
of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the
remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to the same ratio as the new
rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the adjustment
specified in Lessor's Notice.

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

         12.2.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

                  (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due. Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.

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

                  (c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment 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
assignee or 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 under this Lease or the sublease and
without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons
from liability under this Lease or the sublease.


<PAGE>   25

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

                  (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting
shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any,
together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the
monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the subject
of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is greater, as reasonable
consideration for Lessor's considering and processing the request for consent.
Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or
documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.

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

                  (g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph
12.2(c) shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the
Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to six (6) times the then
monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the
Security Deposit increase a condition to Lessor's consent to such transaction.

                  (h) Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent to any
assignment or subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment schedule of
the rent payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the market value
and/or adjustment schedule for property similar to the Premises as then
constituted, as determined by Lessor.

         12.3.    ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

                  (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or
a portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may
collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under
this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph
13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease,
Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and
enjoy the


<PAGE>   26

rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing
provision or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of
the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee
for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations
to such sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating
that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against such sublessee, or, until the Breach has
been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said
sublessee to Lessor.

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

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

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

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



<PAGE>   27

13.      DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.

         13.1.    DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney 
is consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "DEFAULT" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"BREACH" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified
herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of
the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

                  (a) The vacating of the Premises without the intention to
reoccupy same, or the abandonment of the Premises.

                  (b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Common
Area Operating Expenses, or any other monetary payment required to be made by
Lessee hereunder as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with
reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or
the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of
three (3) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

                  (c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly
executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of
this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the
execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii)
any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of
Lessee under the terms of this lease, where any such failure continues for a
period of ten (10) days following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

                  (d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof
that are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if
Lessee commences such


<PAGE>   28

cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes
such cure to completion.

                  (e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making by Lessee of any general arrangements or assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section
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; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

                  (f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of
Lessee or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was
materially false.

                  (g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with
the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory breach basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event,
to provide Lessor with written alternative assurances of security, which, when
occupied with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the
combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the
time of execution of this Lease.

         13.2.    REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice
to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at its option
(but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's
behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:

                  (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate
and Lessee shall 


<PAGE>   29

immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time of the award
of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would
have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any
other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately
caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom,
including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises,
expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the
Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing commission
paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of
this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in
provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District in which the Premises are located
at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate
damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease shall not waive
Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph 13.2. If termination of
this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer,
Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid rent and
damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover
all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such rent and/or damages. If a
notice and grace period required under Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not
previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the
case may be, given to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of
leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for
grace period purposes required by Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such
case, the applicable grace period under the unlawful detainer statute shall run
concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to
cure the Default within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall
constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor
to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

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

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

                  (d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity


<PAGE>   30

provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

         13.3.    INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by 
Lessor for free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or
for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS" shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of
such acceptance.

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

         13.5.    BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this
Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a
reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor, and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to
Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such
notice are reasonably


<PAGE>   31

required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach of this Lease
if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursued to completion. 

14.      CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under 
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of
the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
portion of the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by
condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within
ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking
(or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the
condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this
Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base
Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the
Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No
reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any
portion of the Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of
the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee
shall be entitled to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's
relocation expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of its net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of
the legal and other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter,
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee
shall be responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net
severance damages required to complete such repair. 

15.      BROKERS' FEES.

         15.1.    PROCURING CAUSE. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are
the procuring cause of this Lease.

         15.2.    ADDITIONAL TERMS. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise
agreed in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as
defined in Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option subsequently
granted, or (b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises
in which Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the
Premises with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of the term of this
Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if said Brokers 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 (e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of
an escalation clause herein, then as to any of 


<PAGE>   32

said transaction, Lessor shall pay said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said Broker(s) in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease.

         15.3.    ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or 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 Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions
of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its interest in any
commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right directly against
Lessor and its successors.

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

16.      TENANCY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         16.1.    TENANCY STATEMENT. Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall
within three (3) working days after written notice from the other Party (the
"REQUESTING PARTY") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a
statement in writing in a form similar to the then most current "TENANCY
STATEMENT" form published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association,
plus such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be
reasonably requested by the Requesting Party.

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


17.      LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the
event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this
Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit)
any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease 


<PAGE>   33

thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the
obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall
be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.

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

19.      INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10) days
following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at
the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which
the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late charge provided
for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time if of the essence with respect to the performance
of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.

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

22.      NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains
all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein,
and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understandings shall be
effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it
has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease
and as to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary
of the provisions of this Paragraph 22. 

23.      NOTICES.

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


<PAGE>   34

         23.2. DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on
the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent
by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after
delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any
notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall
be deemed served or delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of
receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via
delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal
holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. 

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

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

26.      NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.

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


<PAGE>   35

29.      BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.

30.      SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.

         30.1. SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will given any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any, Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall
given written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be
deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

         30.2. ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of
Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security
Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not; (i)
be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events
occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or
defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.

         30.3. NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long
as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises.

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

31.      ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any party or Broker brings an action or proceeding
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall
be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees.


<PAGE>   36

Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit,
whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The
term "PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who
substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether
by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or
Broker of its claim or defense. The 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. Lessor shall be entitled to
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation and service of
notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a
legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or
resulting Breach. Broker(s) shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this
Paragraph 31.

32.      LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same
to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor
may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time
during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term hereof place on or
about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor
shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.

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

34.      SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the
Premises or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written
consent, install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to
advertise Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location
designated by Lessor and Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph
7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs.

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


<PAGE>   37

written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such
lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event
constitute the termination of such interest.

36.      CONSENTS.

                  (a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise
provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an
act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expense (including but not
limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees)
incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any
Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited consents to an assignment a subletting or the presence or use of a
Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any
such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of
money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and
responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be
refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an
acknowledgement that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor
shall such consent be deemed a wavier of any then existing Default or Breach,
except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time
of such consent.

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

37.      GUARANTOR.

         37.1. FORM OF GUARANTY. If there are to be any Guarantors of this Lease
per Paragraph 1.11, the form of the guaranty to be executed by each such
Guarantor shall be in the form most recently published by the American
Industrial Real Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the same
obligations as Lessee under this lease, including but not limited to the
obligation to provide the Tenancy Statement and information required in
Paragraph 16.

         37.2. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR. It shall constitute a
Default of the Lessee under this Lease if any such Guarantor fails or refuses,
upon reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a) evidence of the due execution of
the guaranty called for by this Lease, including the authority of the Guarantor
(and of the party signing on Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on
said guaranty, and resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making
of such guaranty, together with a certificate of incumbency showing the
signatures of the persons authorized to sign on its behalf, (b) current
financial statements of Guarantor as


<PAGE>   38

may from time to time be requested by Lessor, (c) a Tenancy Statement, or (d)
written confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect. 

38.      QUIET POSSESSION. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises
and the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have
quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of
the provisions of this Lease. 

39.      OPTIONS.

         39.1.    DEFINITION. As used in this Lease, the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property of
Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right of

                  (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,

Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

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

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


<PAGE>   39

                  (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 given notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii)

joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of way, utility raceways, and
dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel
maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights of way, utility
raceways, dedications, maps and restrictions do not reasonably interfere with
the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents
reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights
dedication, map or restrictions. 

43.      PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it

to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

44.      AUTHORITY. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, or general

reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the property
of which the Premises are a part.

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