                                   ARTICLE 3.
                          DELIVERY OF DEMISED PREMISES

      3.1 Subject to Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work as more
particularly set forth in EXHIBIT B attached to this lease, the Demised Premises
are being leased "AS IS," vacant, free of tenants and in broom-clean condition
with Tenant accepting all defects, if any; and, except as expressly set forth in
this lease, Landlord makes no warranty of any kind, express or implied, with
respect to the Demised Premises, the Loading Docks and the Truck Court (both as
defined in Section 8.1 hereof) (without limitation, Landlord makes no warranty
as to the habitability, fitness or suitability of the Demised Premises for a
particular purpose nor as to the absence of any toxic or otherwise hazardous
substances). This Section 3.1 is subject to any contrary requirements under
applicable law; however, in this regard Tenant acknowledges that it has been
given the opportunity to inspect the Demised Premises, the Loading Docks and the
Truck Court and to have qualified experts inspect the Demised Premises, the
Loading Docks and the Truck Court prior to the execution of this lease.

      3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, Tenant shall
have the right, immediately following full execution of this lease and prior to
Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work, to enter the Demised Premises for the
purpose of installing telephones, electronic communication and related
equipment, data cables, racking and handling systems, fixtures, furniture and
equipment and to phase its move-in into the Demised Premises (including delivery
of product to the Demised Premises), provided that Tenant shall be solely
responsible for any of such equipment, systems, fixtures, furniture,

                                        4

<PAGE>

material and product and for any loss or damage thereto from any cause
whatsoever, excluding only the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord's contractors. Such early access to the Demised Premises
and such installation shall be permitted only to the extent that Landlord
determines that such early access and installation activities will not
materially delay Landlord's completion of Landlord's Work. Landlord and Tenant
shall cooperate in the scheduling of Tenant's early access to the Demised
Premises and of Tenant's installation activities in an attempt to maximize the
benefits to Tenant of this paragraph without materially interfering with
Landlord's completion of Landlord's Work. The provisions of Articles 15 and 16
below shall expressly apply during the period of any such early entry, and
Tenant shall (i) provide certificates of insurance evidencing the existence and
amounts of liability insurance carried by Tenant and its agent and contractors,
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prior to such early entry, and (ii) comply
with all applicable Regulations.

            If such early access or installation materially delays or materially
interferes with Landlord's construction of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall give
written notice to Tenant and if such material delay or interference continues
for five (5) days thereafter, Landlord shall be entitled to reasonably limit
Tenant's early access rights to that portion of the Demised Premises in which
Landlord is then working. All work performed by Tenant shall be in compliance
with EXHIBIT B and Article 11, shall be performed in a first-class manner, and
shall be completed in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances.

      3.3 On or after the Commencement Date, within ten (10) days of either
party's request, Tenant and Landlord shall execute a memorandum in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT H setting forth the actual Commencement Date, Rent
Commencement Date and Expiration Date.

                                   ARTICLE 4.
                                      RENT

      4.1 The minimum guaranteed rental shall be subject to cost-of-living
increases proportionate to any increase in the "CPI" (as defined below),
effective as of the first day of the thirty-first (31st) full calendar month and
the first day of the sixty-first (61st) full calendar month following the
Commencement Date of the term (as applicable, the "Adjustment Date"). The
adjusted rental shall be obtained by multiplying the "Base Rental" (as defined
below) by CPI-2 (as defined below) and dividing the product by CPI-1 (as defined
below). In applying this formula for rental adjustment, the following
definitions shall be used:

            (a) The "Base Rental" shall mean $246,291.84 per month with respect
      to the first adjustment, and shall mean the minimum guaranteed rental in
      effect during months 31-60 with respect to the second adjustment.

            (b) The term "Bureau" shall mean the U.S. Department of Labor,
      Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor agency of the United States
      that shall issue the indexes or data referred to in subsection (c) below.

            (c) The term "CPI" shall mean the monthly indexes of the Consumer
      Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average (All items; 1982-84
      = 100) issued by the Bureau.

            (d) The term "CPI-1" shall mean the CPI for the month which is three
      (3) months prior to the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.

            (e) The term "CPI-2" shall mean the higher of (i) CPI-1 or (ii) the
      CPI for the month which is three (3) months prior to the month in which
      the applicable Adjustment Date occurs.

In the event that (i) the Bureau ceases to use 1982-84 = 100 as the basis of
calculation, or (ii) a substantial change is made in the number or character of
"market basket" items used in determining the CPI, or (iii) the CPI shall be
discontinued for any reason, Landlord shall designate (subject to Tenant's

                                        5

<PAGE>

approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) from
indexes supplied by the Bureau an alternative index comparable to the CPI
together with information which will make possible the conversion to the
alternative index in computing the adjusted rental. If for any reason the Bureau
does not furnish such an index and such information, the parties shall
thereafter accept and use such other index or comparable statistics on the cost
of living for the county in which the Demised Premises is located, as shall be
computed and published by an agency of the United States or by a responsible
financial periodical of recognized authority then to be selected by Landlord
(but subject to reasonable approval by Tenant).

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the CPI increase on the
first Adjustment Date shall not be less than a three percent (3%) per year
increase nor more than a seven percent (7%) per year increase on a cumulative
basis (such that the increase on the first Adjustment Date shall not be less
than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) nor more than seventeen and one-half
percent (17.5%)).

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the CPI increase on the
second Adjustment Date shall not be less than a three percent (3%) per year
increase nor more than a seven percent (7%) per year increase on a cumulative
basis (such that the increase on the second Adjustment Date shall not be less
than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) nor more than seventeen and one-half
percent (17.5%)).

      4.2 Rental shall accrue from the Rent Commencement Date, and shall be
payable to Landlord at the following address: Port LA Distribution Center II,
L.P., c/o Overton, Moore Properties, 1125 West 190th Street, Gardena, California
90248, Attention: Timur Tecimer, or at such other address as Landlord shall so
notify Tenant from time to time in writing.

      4.3 Tenant shall pay to Landlord minimum guaranteed rental in monthly
installments in the amounts specified in Section 1.1(l) and Section 4.1 of this
lease. The first such monthly installment of minimum guaranteed rental shall be
due and payable on or before the Commencement Date as provided in Section 1.1(n)
above, and subsequent installments shall be due and payable on or before the
first day of each succeeding calendar month during the lease term following the
Rent Commencement Date; provided that if the Rent Commencement Date is a date
other than the first day of a calendar month, in lieu of a full monthly
installment of minimum guaranteed rental, there shall be due and payable on or
before such date as minimum guaranteed rental for the balance of such calendar
month a sum equal to that proportion of the rent specified for the first full
calendar month as herein provided, which the number of days from the Rent
Commencement Date to the end of the calendar month during which the Rent
Commencement Date shall fall bears to the total number of days in such month.
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, if assessed by the jurisdiction in which the
Industrial Complex is located, any sales, excise or other tax imposed, assessed
or levied in connection with Tenant's payment of rents.

      4.4 It is understood that the minimum guaranteed rental is payable (in
accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above) on or before the first day of each
calendar month, without offset or deduction of any nature except as expressly
provided in this lease. In the event any rental is not received for any reason
whatsoever within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
written notice that rental is past due, or if any rental payment is by check
which is returned for insufficient funds, then in addition to the past due
amount Tenant shall pay to Landlord one of the following (the choice to be at
the sole option of Landlord unless one of the choices is improper under
applicable law, in which event the other alternative will automatically be
deemed to have been selected): (a) a late charge in an amount equal to Five
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($5,500.00), in order to compensate Landlord for
its administrative and other overhead expenses; or (b) interest on the rental
then due at the rate of one percent (1%) per annum over the then current prime
rate published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, such interest to accrue continuously
on any unpaid balance due to Landlord by Tenant during the period commencing
with the rental due date and terminating with the date on which Tenant makes
full payment of all amounts owing to Landlord at the time of said payment. Any
such late charge or interest payment shall be payable as additional rental under
this lease, shall not be considered a waiver by Landlord of any default by
Tenant hereunder, and shall be payable immediately on demand.

      4.5 If Tenant fails in two (2) consecutive months to make minimum
guaranteed rental payments within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt
of Landlord's written notice that such minimum guaranteed rental is past due,
Landlord, in order to reduce its administrative costs, may require, by giving
written notice to Tenant (and in addition to any late charge or interest
accruing pursuant to Section 4.4 above, as well as any other rights and remedies
accruing pursuant to Article 22 below, or any other provision of this lease or
at law), that minimum guaranteed rentals are to be paid thereafter by wire
transfers initiated by Tenant to Landlord's account on or before the due date
and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check will no longer
constitute a payment of minimum guaranteed rental as provided in this lease. Any
acceptance of a minimum guaranteed rental payment or of a personal or corporate
check thereafter by Landlord shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of
said rights.

      4.6 Tenant shall pay when due any and all sales taxes levied, imposed or
assessed by the United States of America, the State of California, or any
political subdivision thereof or other taxing authority upon the minimum
guaranteed rental, additional rent and all other sums payable hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      5.1 Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of written
request from Landlord from time to time (but not more frequently than
semi-annually), furnish a true and accurate statement of its financial
condition, certified by Tenant's Chief Financial Officer to be (i) true and
correct in all material respects and (ii) prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE 6.
                    TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES, OTHER
                   REAL ESTATE CHARGES AND INSURANCE EXPENSES

      6.1 Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal property
and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises which taxes shall be
paid when due and before any delinquency. If any such taxes are levied against
Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the
assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal
property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises and
Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon demand that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily
liable hereunder.

      6.2 Tenant shall also be liable for Tenant's Industrial Complex
Proportionate Share of all "real estate charges" (as defined below) and
"insurance expenses" (as defined below) incurred during the lease term related
to the Industrial Complex or Landlord's ownership of the Industrial Complex.
Tenant's obligations under this Section 6.2 shall be prorated during any partial
year (i.e., the first year and the last year of the lease term). "Real estate
charges" shall include ad valorem taxes and any other taxes on the Industrial
Complex, general and special assessments, parking surcharges, any tax or charge
for governmental services (such as street maintenance or fire protection) which
are paid by Landlord and are attributable to the transfer or transaction
directly or indirectly represented by this lease, by any sublease or assignment
hereunder or by other leases in the Industrial Complex or by any document to
which Tenant is a party creating or transferring (or reflecting the creation or
transfer of) any interest or an estate in the Demised Premises and any tax or
charge which replaces or is in addition to any of such above-described "real
estate charges"; real estate charges shall also include any fees, expenses or
costs (including attorneys' fees, expert fees and the like) incurred by Landlord
in protesting or contesting any assessments levied or the tax rate but only to
the extent that Landlord is successful in reducing any such taxes, assessments
or charges. "Real estate charges" shall not be deemed to include sales tax
payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.6 above, any franchise, estate,
inheritance or general income tax, or any interest or penalties (except to the
extent that such interest or penalties are caused by any late payment by
Tenant). "Insurance expenses" shall include all premiums and other expenses
incurred by Landlord for liability insurance and fire and extended coverage
property insurance (plus whatever endorsements or special coverages which
Landlord, in Landlord's sole but reasonable discretion, may consider

                                        7

<PAGE>

appropriate), business interruption, and rent loss, earthquake and any other
insurance policy which is carried by Landlord from time to time during the term
of this lease insuring the Demised Premises, the Common Area, the Industrial
Complex, or any improvements thereon.

      6.3 Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to obtain separate assessments for
Tenant's obligations pursuant to Section 6.1 and, with respect to Section 6.2,
for such of the "real estate charges" as are readily susceptible of separate
assessment. To the extent of a separate assessment, Tenant agrees to pay such
assessment before it becomes delinquent and to keep the Demised Premises free
from any lien or attachment that may arise due to Tenant's acts or omissions;
moreover, as to all periods of time during the lease term, this covenant of
Tenant shall survive the termination of the lease for a period of twelve (12)
months. With regard to the calendar year during which the lease term expires,
Landlord at its option either may bill Tenant when the charges become payable or
may charge Tenant an estimate of Tenant's pro rata share of whichever charges
have been paid directly by Tenant (based upon information available for the
current year plus, if current year information is not adequate in itself,
information relating to the immediately preceding year).

      6.4 At such time as Landlord has reason to believe that at some time
within the immediately succeeding twelve (12) month period Tenant will owe
Landlord any amounts pursuant to one or more of the preceding sections of this
Article 6, Landlord may direct by written notice to Tenant that Tenant prepay
monthly a pro rata portion of the prospective future payment (i.e., the
prospective future payment divided by the number of months before the
prospective future payment will be due). Tenant agrees that any such prepayment
directed by Landlord shall be due and payable monthly on the same day that
minimum guaranteed rental is due.

      6.5 In the event that any payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not
received for any reason whatsoever within five (5) business days after Tenant's
receipt of Landlord's written notice that such payment is past due, or if any
such payment is by check which is returned for insufficient funds, then in
addition to the amount then due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on the
amount then due at the rate of one percent (1%) per annum over the then current
prime rate published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, such interest to accrue
continuously on any unpaid balance until paid.

                                    ARTICLE 7.
                                   COMMON AREA

      7.1 The term "Common Area" is defined for all purposes of this lease as
that part of the Industrial Complex intended for the common use of all tenants,
including among other facilities (as such may be applicable to the Industrial
Complex), parking areas, private streets and alleys, signs (including monument
signs) landscaping, curbs, loading areas, perimeter walls, retaining walls,
sidewalks, parkways, malls and promenades (enclosed or otherwise), lighting
facilities, drinking fountains, meeting rooms, public toilets, and the like, but
excluding (i) space in buildings (now or hereafter existing) designated for
rental for commercial purposes, as the same may exist from time to time; (ii)
streets and alleys maintained by a public authority; (iii) areas within the
Industrial Complex which may from time to time not be owned by Landlord (unless
subject to a cross-access agreement benefiting the area which includes the
Demised Premises); and (iv) areas leased to a single-purpose user where access
is restricted. In addition, although the roofs of the buildings in the
Industrial Complex are not literally part of the Common Area, they will be
deemed to be so included for purposes of (x) Landlord's ability to prescribe
rules and regulations regarding same, and (y) their inclusion for purposes of
common area maintenance reimbursements. Landlord reserves the right to change
from time to time the dimensions and location of the Common Area, as well as the
dimensions, identities, locations and types of any buildings, signs or other
improvements in the Industrial Complex; provided, however, that any such changes
shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Loading Docks or the
Truck Court, materially diminish the size of the Phase II parking lot or
materially alter the general traffic pattern for Phase II of the Industrial
Complex.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord
covenants that none of the parking lot configuration, traffic patterns (both
vehicular and pedestrian), rights to egress, rights to

                                        8

<PAGE>

ingress, Truck Court, curbs, driveways and walkways at the Building or in Phase
II of the Industrial Complex shall be materially reconfigured, reconstructed,
redirected, or altered without Tenant's prior written consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Landlord acknowledges that the
covenants contained in this paragraph are among the material inducements to
Tenant's entering into this lease, and that any material breach thereof by
Landlord would be a material breach of this lease for which monetary damages
would not be adequate. In recognition thereof, in the event of any such material
breach, Tenant shall be entitled (after written notice to Landlord specifying
the breach and if Landlord does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days
thereafter, or such longer cure period as may be reasonable under the
circumstances, provided that Landlord commences such cure within such thirty
(30) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion), to all rights
and remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation,
obtaining injunctive relief forever restraining such breach by Landlord) and to
recover from Landlord all of Tenant's reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys'
fees actually incurred in connection with enforcing the covenants of Landlord
contained in this paragraph.

      7.2 Tenant, and its employees and customers, and when duly authorized
pursuant to the provisions of this lease, its subtenants, licensees and
concessionaires, shall have the nonexclusive right to use the Common Area
(excluding roofs of buildings in the Industrial Complex) as constituted from
time to time, such use to be in common with Landlord, other tenants in the
Industrial Complex and other persons permitted by Landlord to use the same, and
subject to rights of governmental authorities, easements, other restrictions of
record, and such reasonable rules and regulations governing use as Landlord may
from time to time prescribe. For example, and without limiting the generality of
Landlord's ability to establish rules and regulations governing all aspects of
the Common Area, Tenant agrees as follows:

            (a) [Intentionally deleted.]

            (b) Tenant shall not solicit business within the Common Area nor
      take any action which would interfere with the rights of other persons to
      use the Common Area.

            (c) Landlord may temporarily close any part of the Common Area for
      such reasonable periods of time as may be necessary to make repairs or
      alterations or to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights;
      provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
      minimize interference with Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises,
      including Tenant's use of the Loading Docks and the Truck Court.

            (d) With regard to the roofs of the buildings in the Industrial
      Complex, use of the roofs is reserved to Landlord, or with regard to any
      tenant demonstrating to Landlord's satisfaction a need to use same, to
      such tenant after receiving prior written consent from Landlord.

      7.3 Landlord shall be responsible for the operation, management, repair,
replacement and maintenance of the Common Area (including the roofs). Landlord
shall keep the Common Area in good condition and repair and the expenditures
therefor shall be in keeping with similar industrial centers within the same
geographical area as the Industrial Complex. Landlord shall be the sole
determinant of the type and amount of access control services to be provided, if
any. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives any claim
against Landlord for: (i) any unauthorized or criminal entry of third parties
into the Demised Premises or Industrial Complex, (ii) any damage to persons or
property, or (iii) any loss of property in and about the Demised Premises or
Industrial Complex from any unauthorized or criminal acts of third parties,
regardless of any action, inaction, failure, breakdown or insufficiency of
access control services unless such claim arises from Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

      7.4 In addition to the rentals and other charges prescribed in this lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's applicable proportionate share (depending
on whether the cost is applicable to the Building, Phase II or the entire
Industrial Complex) of the cost of: (a) the operation and maintenance of the
Common Area which may be incurred by Landlord in its discretion, including,
among other costs, those for (i) lighting, (ii) painting, (iii) cleaning and
trash removal, (iv) policing, (v) inspecting, (vi) repairing,

                                        9

<PAGE>

replacing, and, if there is an enclosed mall or promenade in the Industrial
Complex, heating and cooling, (vii) striping of parking lots, (viii) fire
sprinkler detection systems including fire alarms, and (ix) exterior pest and
rodent control; (b) capital expenditures and expenses incurred by Landlord to:
(i) increase the operating efficiency of the Industrial Complex, (ii) to cause
the Common Area to comply with applicable Regulations (as such term is defined
in Section 27.1), but excluding any remediation, clean-up, monitoring or other
requirements relating to compliance with any Environmental Law (as defined in
Section 28.7 below) in connection with the environmental condition of the
Industrial Complex as of the date of this lease, and (iii) improve, repair or
replace the fire sprinkler and suppression and other life safety systems for the
Common Area of the Industrial Complex, it being agreed that the cost of such
capital expenditures and installation shall be amortized over the reasonable
life of the capital expenditure, with the reasonable life and amortization
schedule being determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied; (c) a reasonable market rate management fee
(not to exceed four percent (4%) of the gross revenues of the Industrial
Complex) for the management of the Industrial Complex; (d) the cost of any
insurance for which Landlord is not reimbursed; (e) although the roofs of the
buildings in the Industrial Complex are not literally part of the Common Area,
the cost of roof maintenance, repair and replacement to the extent not
specifically allocated to Tenant under this lease nor to another tenant pursuant
to its lease; and (f) rideshare program costs. Landlord has the right to
establish as a reserve, such amounts as Landlord deems reasonable for: (x)
exterior building paint and caulking, and (y) the maintenance, repair and
restoration of the roofs, parking, and heating and air conditioning systems (to
the extent not exclusively serving the Demised Premises) of the Industrial
Complex. With regard to capital expenditures other than the capital expenditures
contemplated by Section 7.4(b) above, the original investment in capital
improvements, i.e., upon the initial construction of the Industrial Complex,
shall not be included, and improvements and replacements, to the extent
capitalized on Landlord's records, shall be included only to the extent of a
reasonable depreciation or amortization (including interest accruals
commensurate with Landlord's interest costs). Landlord shall reasonably and
appropriately allocate the costs described herein to: (aa) the Building, (bb)
Phase II of the Industrial Complex, or (cc) the Industrial Complex, and the
Tenant's proportionate share of each shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(q)
above.

      7.5 If this lease should commence on a date other than the first day of a
calendar year or terminate on a date other than the last day of a calendar year,
for that portion of the calendar year that falls within the term of this lease,
Tenant's monthly reimbursement obligations under Section 7.4 shall be prorated
based upon Landlord's projected expenses for the entire calendar year. Landlord
may direct by written notice to Tenant that tenant prepay monthly, in advance, a
pro rata portion of the estimated annual cost of operation and maintenance of
the Common Area. Tenant agrees that any such prepayment directed by Landlord
shall be due and payable monthly on the same day that minimum guaranteed rental
is due.

      7.6 In the event that any payment of additional rent due from Tenant to
Landlord is not received for any reason whatsoever within five (5) business days
after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice that such payment is past
due, or if any such payment is by check which is returned for insufficient
funds, then, in addition to the amount then due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
interest on the amount then due at the rate of one percent (1%) per annum over
the then current prime rate published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, such interest
to accrue continuously on any unpaid balance until paid. Any delay or failure of
Landlord in delivering any estimate or statement described in Section 7.4 or in
computing or billing Tenant's proportionate share of the foregoing costs shall
not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to require an increase in rent as
provided herein or in any way impair the continuing obligations of Tenant under
this Section.

      7.7 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar
year (or portion thereof) during the lease term, or as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a statement ("Annual
Statement") showing, in reasonable detail, the Common Area maintenance charges,
real estate charges and insurance expenses actually incurred by Landlord for the
preceding calendar year (or portion thereof) and the computation of Tenant's
proportionate shares thereof. If an Annual Statement shows that the estimated
Common Area maintenance charges, real estate charges and insurance expenses paid
by Tenant during the preceding calendar year exceeded Tenant's

                                       10

<PAGE>

proportionate shares of the actual expenses incurred by Landlord, Landlord shall
apply a credit for such overpayment to the rental amounts next due from Tenant
(or, in the case of the final reconciliation following the expiration or earlier
termination of this lease, deliver a check for such overpayment to Tenant with
the final Annual Statement). If an Annual Statement shows that Tenant's
proportionate shares of the actual expenses incurred by Landlord exceeded the
estimated expenses paid by Tenant during the preceding calendar year, Tenant
shall pay the difference to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such
Annual Statement. This Section 7.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the lease.

      7.8 Within ninety (90) days after receipt of any Annual Statement by
Tenant, if Tenant disputes any charge reflected therein, Tenant shall have the
right, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times during
business hours, to inspect and review Landlord's books, records, invoices and
other evidence of the charges reflected in the Annual Statement at Landlord's
offices in San Francisco or at the Managing Agent's office. Tenant may not
employ any outside auditor to review Landlord's books who works on a contingency
fee basis. Tenant's failure to dispute the amount of any charge reflected in
such Annual Statement within such ninety (90) day period shall constitute
Tenant's approval of the Annual Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant
still disputes any charge, Tenant shall so notify Landlord with specificity,
providing reasonable supportive documentation therefor; if Landlord and Tenant
cannot resolve the matter between them within thirty (30) days, then a
determination as to the proper amount shall be made by an independent certified
public accountant mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant. The fees of such
accountant shall be paid by Tenant; provided that if the accountant determines
that Tenant's proportionate share of Common Area maintenance charges, real
estate charges and insurance expenses in the aggregate has been overstated by
more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the fees and costs of the
accountant. Any adjustment to the Common Area maintenance charges, real estate
charges or insurance expenses resulting from Tenant's dispute of Landlord's
statement (either determined by Landlord and Tenant mutually or by the
accountant) shall be paid by Tenant or refunded by Landlord (as applicable)
within ten (10) days after the adjustment is determined. No review of Landlord's
books or records may be conducted by or for Tenant at any time that Tenant is in
default of any of the terms of this lease. This Section 7.8 shall survive the
expiration or termination of the lease term.

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                                  LOADING DOCKS

      8.1 The parties acknowledge that the Demised Premises include the loading
docks (the "Loading Docks") and the truck court (the "Truck Court") shown on
EXHIBIT A. Landlord shall install, as part of Landlord's Work (as described in
EXHIBIT B), an 8-foot high chain-link demising fence as shown on EXHIBIT A,
subject to any necessary prior approval the City of Los Angeles. Subject to the
provisions of this lease, and such reasonable rules and regulations as may be
promulgated by Landlord from time to time (provided that such rules and
regulations shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Loading
Docks, the Truck Court and the Demised Premises as permitted under this lease),
Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, guests and invitees, may
use the Loading Docks and the Truck Court for loading and access to and from the
Demised Premises for the permitted use set forth in Section 1.1(p) above.
Tenant's use of the Loading Docks shall be at its sole risk, and Landlord shall
not be liable for any injury to any person or property, or for any loss or
damage to any vehicle or its contents resulting from theft, collision, vandalism
or any other cause whatsoever. Tenant shall have the right to have tractors,
trailers (loaded and unloaded) and personal vehicles of Tenant's employees
parked at the Loading Docks and in the Truck Court overnight, but Tenant shall
not store any ocean containers, storage containers or intermodal cargo
containers on the ground anywhere in the Industrial Complex or stack such
containers anywhere in the Industrial Complex in violation of the zoning
requirements applicable to the Industrial Complex. Tenant's employees may park
their personal vehicles in the Industrial Complex parking lot adjacent to the
Demised Premises overnight provided that such vehicles are moved on a daily
basis and are not stored or abandoned on the Industrial Complex property.

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                        USE AND CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES

      9.1 The Demised Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for
the permitted use specified in Section 1.1(p) above and for no other purpose.
Tenant, in its manner of use of the Demised Premises, shall fully comply with
all applicable zoning laws and ordinances. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall obtain and keep in effect during the term, all permits, licenses and other
authorizations necessary to permit Tenant to use and occupy the Demised Premises
for the permitted use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and
except as provided in Section 28.2 below, Tenant shall not use or store any
gasoline or flammable or so called "Red Label" materials in or about the Demised
Premises. All equipment used within the Demised Premises shall be subject to
approval by Landlord's insurance carriers (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and shall be Underwriters
Laboratory or Factory Mutual approved for the uses intended, evidence of which
shall be furnished to Landlord upon request. Tenant shall not operate any
machinery or equipment in the Demised Premises which, in Landlord's reasonable
opinion, taking into account Tenant's permitted uses of the Demised Premises,
shall cause any excessive noise, vibration, damage or disturbance to the other
tenants in the Industrial Complex.

      9.2 Tenant shall take good care of the Demised Premises, the Loading Docks
and the Truck Court and keep the same free from waste at all times. Tenant shall
not overload the floors in the Demised Premises, nor deface or injure the
Demised Premises, the Loading Docks or the Truck Court. Tenant shall keep the
Demised Premises, the Loading Docks and the Truck Court and all sidewalks,
serviceways and loading areas adjacent to the Demised Premises neat, clean and
free from dirt, rubbish, ice or snow at all times. Tenant shall store all trash
and garbage within the Demised Premises or in a trash dumpster or similar
container approved by Landlord as to type, location and screening; and Tenant
shall arrange for the regular pickup of such trash and garbage at Tenant's
expense (unless Landlord finds it necessary to furnish such a service, in which
event Tenant shall be charged an equitable portion of the total of the charges
to all tenants using the service). Receiving and delivery of goods and
merchandise and removal of garbage and trash shall be made only in the manner
and areas reasonably prescribed by Landlord. Tenant shall not operate an
incinerator or burn trash or garbage within the Industrial Complex.

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF DEMISED PREMISES

      10.1 Landlord shall keep the foundation, the exterior walls (subject to
reimbursement in accordance with Section 7.4 above, and further subject to any
warrantied repairs, for which Tenant shall not be responsible) (except that
Tenant shall be responsible for the repair, replacement and maintenance of plate
glass; windows, doors and other exterior openings; window and door frames,
molding, closure devices, locks and hardware; special store fronts; lighting,
heating, air conditioning, plumbing and other electrical, mechanical and
electromotive installation, equipment and fixtures; signs, placards, decorations
or other advertising media of any type; and the painting or other treatment of
the interior side of the exterior walls), skylights and roof (subject to
reimbursement in accordance with Section 7.4 above, and further subject to any
warrantied roof repairs, for which Tenant shall not be responsible) of the
Demised Premises in good condition and repair. Landlord, however, shall not be
required to make any repairs occasioned by the act or negligence of Tenant, its
agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, invitees, customers, licensees and
concessionaires (including, but not limited to, roof leaks resulting from
Tenant's installation of air conditioning equipment or any other roof
penetration or placement by Tenant); and the provisions of the previous sentence
are expressly recognized to be subject to the provisions of Article 17 and
Article 18 of this lease. In the event that the Demised Premises should become
in need of repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall give
immediate written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall have a
reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days unless such repairs cannot
reasonably be completed within thirty (30) days in which case Landlord shall
commence such repairs with such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecute such repairs to completion) after receipt by Landlord of such written
notice in which to make such repairs. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
any interruption of Tenant's business or inconvenience caused due to any work
performed in the Demised Premises or in the Industrial Complex pursuant to
Landlord's rights and obligations under

                                       12

<PAGE>

the Lease, so long as the work is performed without gross negligence or willful
misconduct and provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to minimize interference with Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises.

      10.2 Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises and the Loading Docks in good,
clean and habitable condition and shall at its sole cost and expense keep the
Demised Premises free of insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and make all
needed repairs and replacements, including replacement of cracked or broken
glass, except for repairs and replacements required to be made by Landlord under
the provisions of Section 10.1, Article 17 and Article 18. Without limiting the
coverage of the previous sentence, it is understood that Tenant's
responsibilities therein include the repair and replacement in accordance with
all applicable Regulations (as defined in Section 27.1 below) of: (a) the
non-structural portions of the floors and ceilings of the Demised Premises, (b)
all heating, air conditioning and ventilating ("HVAC"), boilers, fire or unfired
pressure vessels, standpipe and hose, lighting, plumbing and other electrical,
mechanical and electromotive installation, equipment and fixtures, (c) all
utility repairs in ducts, conduits, pipes and wiring, and (d) any sewer stoppage
located in, under and above the Demised Premises, provided that the defect or
other cause for repair or replacement is not the result of a defect in the
original construction and build-out of the Demised Premises; provided, however,
that as to the maintenance and repair of the HVAC equipment in the Demised
Premises, Landlord shall have the option of contracting directly with an HVAC
servicing company for all such work and charging Tenant for all reasonable costs
thereof. If any repairs required to be made or commenced by Tenant hereunder are
not made or commenced (and thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion)
within ten (10) days after written notice delivered to Tenant by Landlord,
Landlord may at its option make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any
loss or damage which may result to its stock or business by reason of such
repairs and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, as additional rental
hereunder, the cost of such repairs plus interest at the rate of one percent
(1%) per annum over the then current prime rate published in the WALL STREET
JOURNAL, such interest to accrue continuously from the date of payment by
Landlord until repayment by Tenant. On the Expiration Date, Tenant shall
surrender the Demised Premises in good condition, excepting reasonable wear and
tear and losses required to be restored by Landlord in Section 10.1, Article 17
and Article 18 of this lease.

      10.3 Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under
Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and all other laws now or
hereafter in effect.

                                   ARTICLE 11.
                                   ALTERATIONS

      11.1 Other than Landlord's Work and Tenant's Work (as such terms are
defined in EXHIBIT B attached hereto), Tenant shall not make any alterations,
additions or improvements to the Demised Premises (collectively, the
"Alterations") without the prior written consent of Landlord, except for the
installation of unattached, movable trade fixtures which may be installed
without drilling, cutting or otherwise defacing the Demised Premises. Tenant
shall furnish complete plans and specifications to Landlord at the time it
requests Landlord's consent to any Alterations if the desired Alterations (i)
will affect the Industrial Complex's mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life
safety systems or services, or (ii) will affect any structural component of the
Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex, or (iii) will require the filing of
plans and specifications with any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or
authority, or (iv) will cost in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00). Subsequent to obtaining Landlord's consent and prior to
commencement of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any building
permit required by applicable law and a copy of the executed construction
contract(s). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days after the
rendition of a bill for all of Landlord's reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs
(up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations) incurred
in connection with any Alterations, including, without limitation, all
management, engineering, outside consulting, and construction fees incurred by
or on behalf of Landlord for the review and approval of Tenant's plans and
specifications and for the monitoring of construction of the Alterations. If
Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations, such Alterations shall be
made by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense by a contractor approved in
writing in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten
(10) days advance written notice of the commencement of Tenant's Alterations to
enable Landlord to post and record notices of

                                       13

nonresponsibility. Tenant shall require its contractor to maintain insurance in
such amounts and in such form as Landlord may reasonably require. Any
construction, alteration, replacement, installation or removal undertaken by
Tenant in connection with the Demised Premises shall, if required under this
lease, be completed in accordance with plans and specifications which, if
required under this lease, must be approved by Landlord, shall be carried out in
a good, workmanlike and prompt manner and in accordance with the provisions of
EXHIBIT C attached hereto, shall comply with all applicable Regulations of the
authorities having jurisdiction thereof, and shall be subject to supervision by
Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors. Without limiting the
generality of the immediately preceding sentence, any installation or
replacement of Tenant's HVAC equipment must be effected strictly in accordance
with Landlord's instructions, the Clean Air Act and all other applicable
Regulations. Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not use any
portion of the Common Areas either within or without the Industrial Complex in
connection with the making of any Alterations. If the Alterations which Tenant
causes to be constructed result in Landlord being required to make any
alterations and/or improvements to other portions of the Industrial Complex in
order to comply with any applicable Regulations, then Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in making
such alterations and/or improvements. Any Alterations made by Tenant shall
become the property of Landlord upon installation and shall remain on and be
surrendered with the Demised Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination
of this lease, except Tenant shall upon demand by Landlord, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence remove all or any portion
of any Alterations made by Tenant which are designated by Landlord to be removed
and repair and restore the Demised Premises in a good and workmanlike manner to
their original condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

      11.2 All Alteration work done by or for Tenant within the Demised Premises
shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner with new materials of
first-class quality, lien-free and in compliance with all governmental
requirements and Regulations, and in such manner as to cause a minimum of
interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of
business in the Industrial Complex. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold
Landlord harmless against any loss, liability or damage resulting from such work
(other than Landlord's Work), and, other than in connection with the performance
of Tenant's Work pursuant to EXHIBIT B, Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord,
furnish a bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord against any such loss,
liability or damage.

      11.3 In the event Tenant uses a general contractor to perform construction
work (other than Landlord's Work or Tenant's Work) within the Demised Premises,
Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of such work, require said general
contractor to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver and release of any and
all claims against Landlord and liens against the Industrial Complex to which
such contractor might at any time be entitled and to execute and record a Bond
to Pay Claims (the "Bond") and shall deliver a copy of the recorded Bond to
Landlord. The delivery of the waiver and release of lien and the Bond within the
time period set forth above shall be a condition precedent to Tenant's ability
to enter on and begin its construction work at the Demised Premises and, if
applicable, to any reimbursement from Landlord for its construction work.

      11.4 Except as provided in EXHIBIT B attached hereto, nothing contained in
this lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of
Landlord, express or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor,
laborer, materialman or vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of
any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition
of or to the Demised Premises or any part thereof. All materialmen, contractors,
artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter furnishing
any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment to Tenant with respect to
any portion of the Demised Premises are hereby charged with notice that they
must look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same. Tenant and any
subtenants shall have no power to do any act or make any contract which may
create or be the foundation of any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the
reversionary or other estate of Landlord, or any interest of Landlord in the
Demised Premises. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO
TENANT OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE DEMISED PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF, AND THAT
NO MECHANICS' OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS

                                       14

<PAGE>

SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO THE DEMISED
PREMISES.

      11.5 In the event that Landlord elects to remodel all or any portion of
the Industrial Complex, Tenant will reasonably cooperate with such remodeling,
including Tenant's tolerating temporary inconveniences (and even the temporary
removal of Tenant's signs in order to facilitate such remodeling, as it may
relate to the exterior of the Demised Premises), subject in all events to the
provisions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 7.1 above. Promptly upon
the completion of any such remodeling, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense
(and not subject to reimbursement), shall restore any damage to the Demised
Premises, the Loading Docks and the Truck Court caused by such remodeling and
shall replace any of Tenant's signs removed in order to facilitate such
remodeling.

                                   ARTICLE 12.
                           LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ACCESS

      12.1 Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall have the
right to enter the Demised Premises at any time in case of an emergency, and
during business hours after reasonable prior oral or written notice to Tenant
for any purpose permitted pursuant to the terms of this lease, including, but
not limited to, examining the Demised Premises; making such repairs or
alterations therein as may be necessary or appropriate in Landlord's reasonable
judgment for the safety and preservation thereof; erecting, installing,
maintaining, repairing or replacing wires, cables, conduits, vents, ducts,
risers, pipes, HVAC equipment or plumbing equipment running in, to or through
the Demised Premises; showing the Demised Premises to the Mortgagee (as defined
in Section 20.1 below), prospective purchasers or prospective mortgagees and,
during the last year of this lease, prospective tenants; and posting notices of
nonresponsibility.

      12.2 Tenant shall give Landlord a key for all of the doors for the Demised
Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and files. Landlord shall have the
right to use any and all means to open the doors to the Demised Premises in an
emergency in order to obtain entry thereto without liability to Tenant therefore
(except for Landlord's gross negligence and willful misconduct).

      12.3 No entry to the Demised Premises by Landlord as permitted under
Section 12.1 or 12.2 above shall be construed or deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Demised Premises, or an eviction,
partial eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant from the Demised Premises or
any portion thereof, and no such entry shall relieve Tenant of its obligations
hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 13.
                               SIGNS; STORE FRONTS

      13.1 Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed any signs upon (i) the
roof of the Demised Premises, or (ii) the Common Areas or any exterior area of
the Industrial Complex without Landlord's prior written approval which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however,
that any proposed sign shall be placed only on the exterior walls of the Demised
Premises and shall have been previously approved by the applicable City of Los
Angeles governmental entity. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall immediately
remove any sign, advertising material or lettering which Tenant has placed or
permitted to be placed upon the exterior or interior surface of any door or
window or at any point inside the Demised Premises, on the exterior of the
Industrial Complex if required in connection with any cleaning, maintenance or
repairs to the Industrial Complex or which, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, is
of such a nature as to not be in keeping with the standards of the Industrial
Complex and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may without liability remove the
same at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall comply with such reasonable regulations
as may from time to time be promulgated by Landlord governing signs, advertising
material or lettering of all tenants in the Industrial Complex.

                                    UTILITIES

      14.1 Tenant shall obtain all water, electricity, sewerage, gas, telephone
and other utilities directly from the public utility company furnishing same.
Any meters required in connection therewith shall be installed as part of
Landlord's Work (as defined in EXHIBIT B). As of the Commencement Date, the
Demised Premises shall be separately metered. Tenant shall pay all utility
deposits and fees, and all monthly service charges for water, electricity,
sewage, gas, telephone and any other utility services furnished to the Demised
Premises during the term of this lease. If for any reason the use of any utility
is measured on a meter(s) indicating the usage of Tenant and other tenants of
the Industrial Complex, Tenant and such other tenants shall allocate the cost of
such utility amongst themselves and shall each be responsible for the payment of
its allocable share. As part of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall furnish and
install all piping, feeders, risers and other connections necessary to bring
utilities to the perimeter walls of the Demised Premises. Anything to the
contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall remain obligated for the payment of
Tenant's pro rata share of any heating costs and/or other utilities or services
furnished to the Common Areas pursuant to Section 7.4.

      14.2 Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption whatsoever, nor
shall Tenant be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent on account
thereof, in utility services not furnished by Landlord, nor for interruptions in
utility services furnished by Landlord which are due to fire, accident, strike,
acts of God or other causes beyond the control of Landlord or which are
necessary or useful in connection with making any alterations, repairs or
improvements.

      14.3 Tenant shall not install any equipment which exceeds or overloads the
capacity of the utility facilities serving the Demised Premises.

                                   ARTICLE 15.
                               INSURANCE COVERAGES

      15.1 Landlord shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this lease
a policy or policies of insurance, at its sole cost and expense (but subject to
Article 6 above), causing the Industrial Complex to be insured under standard
fire and extended coverage insurance (excluding hurricane and storm insurance
unless readily obtainable at commercially reasonable rates) and liability
insurance (plus whatever endorsements or special coverages Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may consider appropriate), to the extent necessary to comply with
Landlord's obligations pursuant to other provisions of this lease. All payments
for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. If the annual premiums
charged to Landlord shall exceed the standard rates because Tenant conducts
operations in the Demised Premises other than as permitted under this lease, the
contents of the Demised Premises, or improvements made to the Demised Premises
beyond standard improvements result in extra-hazardous exposure, Tenant shall
pay the excess amount of the premium upon demand therefor by Landlord.

      15.2 Tenant shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this lease,
at its sole cost and expense, all of the following insurance coverages:

            (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance providing coverage for
      bodily injury (including death) and property damage insurance. This policy
      shall contain a broad form contractual liability endorsement under which
      the insurer agrees to insure Tenant's obligations under Section 16.2 and
      Article 21 hereof. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit of
      not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence, or such
      greater amount as Landlord may from time to time require. If Tenant uses
      vehicles, owned and non-owned, in any way to carry out business on or
      about the Industrial Complex, Tenant shall also maintain Motor Vehicle
      Liability Insurance; such insurance shall have a combined single limit of
      not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily injury and
      property damage. The foregoing insurance limits may be satisfied by a
      combination of primary and excess insurance carried by Tenant.

                                       16

<PAGE>

            (b) "All Risk" coverage insurance covering Tenant's personal
      property, fixtures, improvements, wall coverings, floor coverings, window
      coverings, signs, alterations, furniture, furnishings, equipment,
      lighting, ceilings, HVAC equipment and interior plumbing against loss or
      damage by fire, flood, windstorms, hail, explosion, riot, damage from
      aircraft and vehicles, smoke damage, vandalism and malicious mischief and
      such other risks as are from time to time covered under "extended
      coverage" endorsements and special extended coverage endorsements commonly
      known as "all risks" endorsements, containing the waiver of subrogation
      required in Section 16.3 of this lease and in an amount equal to the
      greater of the full replacement value or the amount required by the holder
      of any mortgage from time to time placed upon the Industrial Complex or a
      portion of the Industrial Complex containing the Demised Premises, with
      business interruption insurance covering the Demised Premises.

            (c) State Worker's Compensation Insurance in the statutorily
      mandated limits.

            (d) Employer's Liability Insurance with limits of not less than One
      Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for bodily injury per accident and
      each disease, per employee, and a total combined limit for bodily injury
      in amounts not less than One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) per accident and
      Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) per each disease, or such greater amount
      as Landlord may from time to time require.

            (e) Plate Glass Insurance.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits of
insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Tenant for its acts or
omissions as provided in this lease. All of the foregoing insurance policies
(with the exception of Worker's Compensation Insurance to the extent not
available under applicable law) shall name Landlord, SSR Realty Advisors, Inc.,
the Managing Agent identified in Section 1.1(g), any mortgagee, the managing
agent for the Industrial Complex, and such other parties as Landlord shall from
time to time designate, as additional insureds as their respective interests may
appear, through an ISO Additional Insured Endorsement CG20261185 or equivalent,
and shall provide that any loss shall be payable to Landlord and such other
additional insured parties as their respective interests may appear. All
insurance required hereunder shall be placed with companies which are rated
A:VII or better by Best's Insurance Guide (or such other comparable publication
if Best's is no longer published) and which are licensed to do business in the
State of California. All such policies shall be written as primary policies
(except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 15.2(a) above) with
deductibles not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); provided, however,
that the deductible for the Plate Glass Insurance shall not exceed One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000); and provided further that such deductible limits shall not
apply as long as Tenant is FMI International LLC and so long as FMI
International LLC maintains a minimum net worth of Four Million Dollars
($4,000,000). Any other policies, including Landlord's policy, will serve as
excess coverage. Tenant shall deliver duplicate original copies of all such
policies and all endorsements thereto (or certificates evidencing that the
required insurance coverages and endorsements, including waiver of subrogation,
are in full force and effect) to Landlord, prior to the Commencement Date, or,
in the case of renewals thereto, fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of
the prior insurance policy, together with evidence that (1) such policies are
fully paid for, and (2) no cancellation, material change or non-renewal thereof
shall be effective except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice by
registered mail from the insurer to Landlord, as well as to Landlord's Managing
Agent (at 1125 West 190th Street, Gardena, California 90248, or at such other
address as Landlord shall so notify Tenant from time to time) and the Mortgagee
(as defined in Section 20.1) of whom Tenant has received written notice.
Whenever, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, good business practice or change in
conditions indicate a need for additional or different types of insurance,
Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord's request therefor,
obtain the insurance at its own expense. If Tenant should fail to comply with
the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Landlord may obtain such
insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as additional rental
hereunder the premium cost thereof plus interest at the rate of one percent (1%)
per annum over the then current prime rate published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL
from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant.

                                       17

<PAGE>

      15.3 In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall obtain certificates of
insurance evidencing Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Completed
Operations, Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance, Worker's Compensation Insurance
and Employer's Liability Insurance in the amounts required above from any
contractor or subcontractor engaged by Tenant for repairs or maintenance during
the lease term, and such liability insurance shall name Landlord, SSR Realty
Advisors, Inc., any mortgagee, the Managing Agent for the Industrial Complex,
and such other parties as Landlord shall from time to time designate, as
additional insureds as their respective interests may appear, through an ISO
Additional Insured Endorsement CG20261185 or equivalent, and shall provide that
any loss shall be payable to Landlord and such other additional insured parties
as their respective interests may appear.

                                   ARTICLE 16.
                WAIVER OF LIABILITY; MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

      16.1 Excluding and excepting liability for the environmental condition of
the Industrial Complex as of the date of this lease and any remediation and
monitoring obligations related thereto, Landlord and Landlord's agents and
employees shall not be liable to Tenant, nor to Tenant's employees, agents,
contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, nor to any other
person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property caused by the
Demised Premises or other portions of the Industrial Complex becoming out of
repair or by defect or failure of any structural element of the Demised Premises
or of any equipment, pipes or wiring, or broken glass, or by the backing up of
drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity, or oil leaking, escaping or
flowing into the Demised Premises (except where due to Landlord's gross
negligence or willful failure to make repairs required to be made by Landlord
hereunder, after the expiration of a reasonable time after written notice to
Landlord of the need for such repairs), nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant,
nor to Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees,
subtenants or licensees, nor to any other person whomsoever, for any loss or
damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other
tenants of the Industrial Complex or of any other persons whomsoever, excepting
only duly authorized employees and agents of Landlord. Landlord shall not be
held responsible in any way on account of any construction, repair or
reconstruction (including widening) of any private or public roadways, walkways
or utility lines.

      16.2 Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, or to
any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property on
or about the Demised Premises or the Common Area caused by the negligence or
misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors,
invitees, subtenants or licensees, or of any other person entering the
Industrial Complex under express or implied invitation of Tenant (with the
exception of invitees in the Common Area), or arising out of the use of the
Demised Premises by Tenant and the conduct of its business therein, or arising
out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations
under this lease; and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from any loss, expense or claims arising out of such damage or
injury. Furthermore, excluding and excepting liability for the environmental
condition of the Industrial Complex as of the date of this lease and any
remediation and monitoring obligations related thereto, Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all
liability, claims, demands, causes of action of any kind and nature arising or
growing out of or in any way connected with Tenant's use, occupancy, management
or control of the Demised Premises and Tenant's operations or activities in the
Industrial Complex. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend any such
claim, demand, cause of action or suit referenced hereinabove at Tenant's
expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

      16.3 Landlord and Tenant each hereby release the other from any and all
liability or responsibility to the other, or to any other party claiming through
or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss or damage to
property caused by a casualty which is insurable under standard fire and
extended coverage insurance; provided, however, that this mutual waiver shall be
applicable only with respect to a loss or damage occurring during the time when
property insurance policies, which are readily available in the marketplace,
contain a clause or permit an endorsement to the effect that any such release
shall not adversely affect or impair the policy or the right of the insured
party to receive proceeds under the policy; provided, further, that this release
shall not be applicable to the portion of any

                                       18

<PAGE>

damage which is not reimbursed by the damaged party's insurer because of the
"deductible" in the damaged party's insurance coverage. The release specified in
this Section 16.3 is cumulative with any releases or exculpations which may be
contained in other provisions of this lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that all
policies of insurance obtained by them pursuant to the terms of this lease shall
contain provisions or endorsements thereto waiving the insurer's rights of
subrogation with respect to claims against the other, and, unless the policies
permit waiver of subrogation without notice to the insurer, each shall
immediately notify its insurance companies of the existence of the waiver and
indemnity provisions set forth in this lease. The provisions of this Article 16
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.

                                   ARTICLE 17.
                               DAMAGES BY CASUALTY

      17.1 Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of any material
damage caused to the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty.

      17.2 In the event that the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty insurable under standard fire and extended coverage
insurance and Landlord does not elect to terminate this lease as hereinafter
provided, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost
and expense to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises. In the event (a) the
Building is destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by
Landlord's insurance, or (b) the Building is destroyed or rendered untenantable
to an extent in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the first floor area by a
casualty covered by Landlord's insurance, or (c) the holder of a mortgage, deed
of trust or other lien on the Building at the time of the casualty elects,
pursuant to such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, to require the use of
all or part of Landlord's insurance proceeds in satisfaction of all or part of
the indebtedness secured by the mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, or (d)
the Building shall be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the cost of replacement, then Landlord may elect either to terminate this lease
or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises. Landlord shall give
written notice to Tenant of such election within sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such casualty and, if it elects to rebuild and repair, shall
proceed to do so with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense. In
the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and material
restoration within two hundred and forty (240) days following the date of such
casualty, Tenant may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Landlord
("Tenant's Termination Notice"), such termination to be effective thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of such notice; provided, however, that if within
ten (10) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Termination Notice, Landlord
shall notify Tenant that it estimates that such repairs and material restoration
can be completed within thirty (30) days after the original date estimated by
Landlord, then Tenant's Termination Notice shall be void and of no further force
and effect. If, however, Landlord does not complete such repairs and material
restoration within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant may at its option and as
its sole remedy for such delay terminate this lease by delivering written notice
to Landlord, within ten (10) days after the expiration of said period of time,
whereupon the lease shall end on the date of such notice or such later date
fixed in such notice as if the date of such notice was the date originally fixed
in this lease for the expiration of the term.

      17.3 Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair under this Article 17
shall in any event be limited to restoring Landlord's Work, as described in
Sections 8.1 and 14.1 of this lease and in EXHIBIT B attached hereto, to
substantially the same condition in which the same existed prior to the
casualty. Tenant agrees that promptly after completion of such work by Landlord,
Tenant will proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense to restore, repair and replace all alterations, additions, improvements,
fixtures, signs and equipment installed by Tenant, and, if an exhibit describing
Tenant's Work is attached hereto, all items of Tenant's Work as described in
such exhibit.

      17.4 Tenant agrees that during any period of reconstruction or repair of
the Demised Premises, it will continue the operation of its business within the
Demised Premises to the extent practicable. During the period from the
occurrence of the casualty until Landlord's repairs are completed, the minimum
guaranteed rental shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable
under the

                                       19

<PAGE>

circumstances; however, there shall be no abatement of the charges provided for
herein unless, and then only to the extent, such charges are covered by
Landlord's loss of rent insurance coverage.

      17.5 Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections
1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any successor or other law of like
import.

                                   ARTICLE 18.
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

      18.1 If more than thirty percent (30%) of the floor area of the Demised
Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any
governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain or by
private purchase in lieu thereof, this lease shall terminate and the rent shall
be abated during the unexpired portion of this lease, effective on the date
physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.

      18.2 If less than thirty percent (30%) of the floor area of the Demised
Premises should be taken as aforesaid, this lease shall not terminate; however,
the minimum guaranteed rental payable hereunder and Tenant's proportionate share
of the Building, Phase II and the Industrial Complex (as defined in Section
1.1(q)) during the unexpired portion of this lease shall be reduced in
proportion to the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken
by the condemning authority. Following such partial taking, Landlord, at its
sole cost and expense, shall make all necessary repairs or alterations to the
remaining premises or, if an exhibit describing Landlord's Work is attached to
this lease, all necessary repairs within the scope of Landlord's Work as
described in such exhibit, as the case may be, required to make the remaining
portions of the Demised Premises an architectural whole, but in no event shall
Landlord be required to expend an amount greater than the award actually
received by Landlord in connection with such taking.

      18.3 If any part of the Common Area should be taken as aforesaid, this
lease shall not terminate, nor shall the rent payable hereunder be reduced,
except that either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this lease if: (i) the area
of the Common Area remaining following such taking shall be less than seventy
percent (70%) of the area of the Common Area immediately prior to the taking,
(ii) more than thirty percent (30%) of the Loading Docks become unavailable for
Tenant's use as a result of such taking, or (iii) the area of the Truck Court
remaining following such taking shall be less than seventy percent (70%) of the
area of the Truck Court immediately prior to the taking. Any election to
terminate this lease in accordance with this provision shall be evidenced by
written notice of termination delivered to the other party within thirty (30)
days after the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.

      18.4 All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private
sale in lieu thereof) of the Demised Premises or Common Area shall be the
property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award
to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award
made to Tenant for Tenant's moving and relocation expenses or for the loss of
Tenant's fixtures and other tangible personal property if a separate award for
such items is made to Tenant as long as such separate award does not reduce the
amount of the award that would otherwise be awarded to Landlord.

      18.5 The rights contained in this Article 18 shall be Tenant's sole and
exclusive remedy in the event of a taking or condemnation. Each party waives the
provisions of Sections 1265.130 and 1265.150 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure and the provisions of any successor or other law of like import.

      18.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord may terminate this
lease with no further liability to Tenant if (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of
the gross leasable area of the Industrial Complex is taken or (ii) if following
any taking, Landlord's mortgagee elects to require Landlord to apply all or a
portion of such award to the outstanding indebtedness.

                                   ARTICLE 19.
                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

      19.1 Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this lease or any
estate or interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof,
or grant any license, concession or other right of occupancy of any portion of
the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord (except as
provided in Section 19.9 below). Landlord agrees that it will not delay,
condition nor withhold consent in a wholly unreasonable and arbitrary manner (as
further explained in Section 29.4 of this lease); however, in determining
whether or not to grant its consent, Landlord shall be entitled to take into
consideration factors such as the business reputation and net worth of the
proposed transferee. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may be required
to obtain its Mortgagee's consent to any requested assignment or sublease.
Further, Landlord shall not be required to consent to any assignment or sublease
that would result in a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any purported assignment or sublease that would
result in a violation of ERISA shall be void and of no effect. Landlord shall be
entitled to charge Tenant a reasonable fee (not to exceed One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00)) for processing Tenant's request. Consent by Landlord to one or more
assignments or sublettings shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights as
to any subsequent assignments and sublettings. In all events, Landlord can
refuse to consent to an assignment or sublease if there shall exist any uncured
default of Tenant or a matter which will become a default with the passage of
time, provided that Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such default or
matter, but only to the extent such notice is required of Landlord under Article
22 of this lease.

      19.2 Subject to Section 19.9 below, if Tenant is a corporation,
partnership or other entity and if at any time during the term of this lease the
person or persons who own a majority of either the outstanding voting rights or
the outstanding ownership interests of Tenant at the time of the execution of
this lease cease to own a majority of such voting rights or ownership interests
(except as a result of transfers by devise or descent), the loss of a majority
of such voting rights or ownership interests shall be deemed an assignment of
this lease by Tenant and, therefore, subject in all respects to the provisions
of Section 19.1 above. The previous sentence shall not apply, however, if at the
time of the execution of this lease, Tenant is a corporation and the outstanding
voting shares of capital stock of Tenant are listed on a recognized security
exchange or over-the-counter market.

      19.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and
without prejudice to Landlord's right to require a written assumption from each
assignee, any person or entity to whom this lease is assigned including, without
limitation, assignees pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. Paragraph 101, ET SEQ. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), shall automatically be
deemed, by acceptance of such assignment or sublease or by taking actual or
constructive possession of the Demised Premises, to have assumed all obligations
of Tenant arising under this lease effective as of the earlier of the date of
such assignment or sublease or the date on which the assignee or sublessee
obtains possession of the Demised Premises. In the event this lease is assigned
to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any
and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in
connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord and shall
remain the exclusive property of Landlord and not constitute the property of
Tenant or Tenant's estate within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All such
money or other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to
Landlord.

      19.4 Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, unless Landlord
exercises its recapture rights under Section 19.7 below, Tenant and any
guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease shall at all times remain
fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and
for compliance with all of its other obligations under this lease (even if
future assignments and sublettings occur subsequent to the assignment or
subletting by Tenant, and regardless of whether or not Tenant's approval has
been obtained for such future assignments and sublettings). Moreover, in the
event that the rental due and payable by a sublessee other than an Affiliate (as
defined in Section 19.9 below) (or a combination of the rental payable under
such sublease plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident
thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this lease, or if with respect to a
permitted assignment,

                                       21

<PAGE>

permitted license or other transfer by Tenant permitted by Landlord, the
consideration payable to Tenant by the assignee, licensee or other transferee
exceeds the rental payable under this lease, then Tenant shall be bound and
obligated to pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess rental and other
excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant
from such sublessee, assignee, licensee or other transferee, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant may first deduct from such excess
rental, on an amortized basis over the term of the sublease or assignment, any
brokerage commission (not to exceed commissions typically paid in the market at
the time of such subletting or assignment), any tenant improvement allowance or
construction costs (not to exceed the amount of allowance or costs typically
paid in the market at the time of such subletting or assignment) and any
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such
subletting or assignment. In addition, in the event of an assignment or
subletting, it is understood and agreed that all rentals paid to Tenant by an
assignee or sublessee shall be received by Tenant in trust for Landlord, to be
forwarded immediately to Landlord without offset or reduction of any kind; and
upon election by Landlord such rentals shall be paid directly to Landlord as
specified in Section 4.2 of this lease (to be applied as a credit and offset to
Tenant's rental obligation). Finally, each sublease agreement shall provide that
if this lease is terminated Landlord, at Landlord's election, may succeed to
Tenant's interest in the sublease, and the subtenant shall, upon request of
Landlord, attorn to and recognize Landlord as the sublandlord under the sublease
and will pay directly to Landlord all rents and other amounts payable by
subtenant under the sublease, in accordance with the applicable terms of the
sublease.

      19.5 Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest
in this lease or in the Demised Premises.

      19.6 In the event of the transfer and assignment by Landlord of its
interest in this lease and in the building containing the Demised Premises to a
person expressly assuming Landlord's obligations under this lease, and upon
Landlord's transfer of Tenant's Security Deposit to such successor in interest,
Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder, and
Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of the Landlord for
performance of such obligations. Any security given by Tenant to secure
performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be transferred by Landlord
to such successor in interest and Landlord shall thereby be discharged of any
further obligation relating thereto.

      19.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord
shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed
subletting or assignment (other than any proposed subletting or assignment to an
Affiliate (as defined in Section 19.9 below)), to terminate this lease, or in
the case of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Demised Premises, to
recapture the portion of the Demised Premises to be sublet, as of the date the
subletting or assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised by
Landlord giving Tenant written notice within sixty (60) days following
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice as required above. If this lease
shall be terminated with respect to the entire Demised Premises, the term shall
end on the date stated in Tenant's notice as the effective date of the sublease
or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this lease for the
expiration of the term. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Demised
Premises, the minimum guaranteed rental during the unexpired term shall abate,
proportionately, based on the minimum guaranteed rental due as of the date
immediately prior to such recapture, and Tenant's proportionate share of the
Building, Phase II and the Industrial Complex (as defined in Section 1.1(q))
shall be appropriately reduced to reflect the remaining square footage of the
Demised Premises.

      19.8 Tenant hereby waives any suretyship defenses it may now or hereafter
have to an action brought by Landlord including those contained in Sections 2787
through 2856, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, as now or
hereafter amended, or similar laws of like import.

      19.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 19.1, but subject
to Section 19.4, Tenant may assign this lease or sublet the Demised Premises or
any portion thereof, without Landlord's consent, to any partnership, corporation
or other entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with Tenant (control being defined for such purposes as ownership of at least
50% of the equity interests in, or the power to direct the management of, the
relevant entity) or to any partnership,

                                       22

<PAGE>

corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with
Tenant, or to any person or entity that acquires substantially all the assets of
Tenant as a going concern (collectively, an "Affiliate"), provided that (i)
Landlord receives written notice of an assignment or subletting promptly after
such assignment or subletting, (ii) the Affiliate's net worth is not less than
the original Tenant's net worth on the Commencement Date, (iii) the Affiliate
has proven experience in the operation of a first-class business of the use
specified in Section 1.1(p), (iv) the Affiliate remains an Affiliate for the
duration of the subletting or the balance of the term in the event of an
assignment, (v) the Affiliate assumes (in the event of an assignment) in writing
all of Tenant's obligations under this lease and (vi) Landlord receives a fully
executed copy of an assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the
Affiliate within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof. Any purported
assignment or sublease to an Affiliate that would result in a violation of ERISA
shall be void and of no effect.

                                   ARTICLE 20.
                      SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPELS

      20.1 Subject to the concurrent execution by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee
(as defined below) and Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT F, Tenant accepts this lease
subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently
existing or hereafter placed upon the Industrial Complex or any portion of the
Industrial Complex which includes the Demised Premises, and to any renewals,
modifications and extensions thereof and this subordination shall be self
operative and no further instrument of subordination is needed. Tenant agrees
that any mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its mortgage,
deed of trust or other lien to this lease; provided, however, notwithstanding
that this lease may be (or is made to be) superior to a mortgage, deed of trust
or other lien, the mortgagee shall not be liable for rentals paid more than
thirty (30) days in advance, security deposits and claims accruing during or
with respect to Landlord's ownership, any amendment or modification made to this
lease without its prior written consent or any offsets or claims against
Landlord; further provided that the provisions of a mortgage, deed of trust or
other lien relative to the right of the mortgagee with respect to proceeds
arising from an eminent domain taking (including a voluntary conveyance by
Landlord) and provisions relative to proceeds arising from insurance payable by
reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises shall be prior and
superior to any contrary provisions contained in this instrument with respect to
the payment or usage thereof. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full
power and authority to subordinate this lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or
other lien hereafter placed upon the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex
as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further instruments
subordinating this lease as Landlord or any Mortgagee may request. If the holder
of any mortgage, indenture or deed of trust or similar instrument (each a
"Mortgagee") succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises, Tenant
shall, upon written request of any such Mortgagee, automatically become the
tenant of and attorn to and recognize such Mortgagee as the landlord under this
lease and will pay to it all rents and other amounts payable by Tenant under
this lease, in accordance with the applicable terms of this lease.
Notwithstanding that the foregoing provisions of this Section are
self-operative, upon request of Landlord or any future Mortgagee, Tenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord and to such Mortgagee a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT F, in recordable form, confirming the foregoing.

      20.2 Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord
hereunder unless and until Landlord and the holder(s) of any indebtedness
secured by mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the Demised Premises (whose
name(s) and address(es) shall have been furnished to Tenant in writing) shall
have received written notice of such default and a reasonable time (not less
than 90 days) shall thereafter have elapsed without the default having been
cured.

      20.3 Tenant agrees that it will from time to time, within ten (10)
business days of request by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a written
statement addressed to Landlord or Mortgagee (and to such other parties as are
from time to time designated by Landlord) in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
G, or in a form substantially comparable thereto, which statement shall identify
Tenant and this lease, shall certify that this lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full
force and effect as so modified), shall confirm, to Tenant's actual

                                       23

<PAGE>

knowledge, that Landlord is not in default as to any obligations of Landlord
under this lease (or if Landlord is in default, specifying any default), shall
confirm Tenant's agreements contained above in this Article 20, and shall
contain such other information or confirmations as Landlord may reasonably
require. Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed and authorized as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such written statement
on Tenant's behalf if Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) business days after
the delivery of a written request from Landlord to Tenant.

      20.4 Landlord agrees that it will from time to time upon request by Tenant
execute and deliver to Tenant a written statement addressed to Tenant (and to
such other parties as are from time to time designated by Tenant), which
statement shall identify Tenant and this lease, shall certify that this lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), shall confirm, to
Landlord's actual knowledge, that Tenant is not in default as to any obligations
of Tenant under this lease (or if Tenant is in default, specifying any default)
and shall contain such other information or confirmations as Tenant may
reasonably require.

                                   ARTICLE 21.
                            TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION

      21.1 Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord's
asset manager, Landlord's subasset manager, Landlord's partners, any subsidiary
or affiliate of Landlord, any Mortgagee, and the officers, directors,
shareholders, partners, employees, managers, independent contractors, attorneys
and agents of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, costs and
expenses, and all losses and damages (including consequential and punitive
damages) arising from Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or from the conduct
of its business or from any activity, work, or other acts or things done,
permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Demised Premises, except to the
extent caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Tenant
shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and
against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance
of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this
lease, or arising from any act, omission or negligence or willful or criminal
misconduct of Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, independent contractor,
guest, or invitee thereof, and from all costs, attorneys' fees and
disbursements, and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any
action or proceeding which may be brought against, out of or in any way related
to this lease. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend any such claim,
demand, cause of action or suit at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion. As a material part of the
consideration to Landlord for this lease, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Demised Premises
from any cause (excluding liability and damages arising from the environmental
condition of the Industrial Complex as of the date of this lease and any
remediation and monitoring obligations related thereto), and Tenant hereby
waives all claims with respect thereto (except as herein provided) against
Landlord. Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord in case of casualty or
accidents in the Demised Premises. The provisions of this Article 21 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.

      21.2 All personal property of Tenant, including goods, wares, merchandise,
inventory, trade fixtures and other personal property of Tenant, shall be stored
at the sole risk of Tenant. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any
loss or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling
plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of
the Industrial Complex or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein
or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places resulting from
dampness or any other cause whatsoever, or from the act or negligence of any
other tenant or any officer, agent, employee, contractor or guest of any such
tenant, except personal injury caused by or due to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord. Except to the extent caused by Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for
interference with the electrical service, ventilation, or for any latent defect
in the Demised Premises.

      21.3 The parties hereto acknowledge that all or a part of the Demised
Premises may be used for the storage and shipment of goods not owned by Tenant,
and Landlord is not willing to enter into this lease unless Tenant indemnifies
the Indemnitees to Landlord's satisfaction from any liability on the part of

                                       24

<PAGE>

the Indemnitees to the owner(s) of such goods for damage to the same arising out
of any acts or omissions of the Indemnitees. As a material inducement to
Landlord to enter into this lease, Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
the indemnitees harmless from and against any and all losses, claims,
liabilities, obligations and damages imposed upon or incurred or asserted
against the Indemnitees by reason of damage to goods of persons storing such
goods with Tenant, notwithstanding the fact that such losses, claims,
liabilities, obligations or damages may have been caused by the acts or
omissions of Landlord. Tenant agrees that at all times during which it shall
store goods not owned by it in the Demised Premises, it shall insure the
indemnity described under this Section 21.3 in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord. Landlord shall not be deemed a bailee, consignee, or warehouseman
(or responsible for the standard of care incidental thereto) with respect to any
goods stored or shipped to or from the Demised Premises for consignment or
bailment and Tenant shall insert a clause to that effect in all warehouse
receipts or consignment agreements for the storage or shipment of goods to or
from the Demised Premises.

                                   ARTICLE 22.
                         DEFAULT BY TENANT AND REMEDIES

      22.1 The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by
      Tenant under this lease:

            (a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of rental or any other
      obligation under this lease involving the payment of money and such
      failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after
      written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice
      shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under
      Sections 1161, ET SEQ., of the California Code of Civil Procedure, so long
      as such notice conforms to the requirements of such Sections 1161, ET SEQ.

            (b) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this lease,
      other than as described in subsection (a) above, and either shall not cure
      such failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to
      Tenant (or, if such failure is not curable within twenty (20) days, Tenant
      shall not promptly commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute
      such cure to completion); provided, however, that any such notice shall be
      in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Sections
      1161 ET SEQ. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, so long as such
      notice conforms to the requirements of such Sections 1161, ET SEQ.

            (c) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease
      shall become unable to pay its bills as they become due, or shall make a
      transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the
      benefit of creditors.

            (d) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease
      shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the federal
      Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the
      United States or any state thereof; or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's
      obligations under this lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in
      proceedings filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations
      under this lease thereunder.

            (e) A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Demised
      Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any
      guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease.

            (f) Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises or any substantial
      portion of the Demised Premises or at any time prior to the last month of
      the lease term shall remove, without the prior written consent of
      Landlord, all or a substantial amount of Tenant's equipment, fixtures,
      furniture, or other personal property.

            (g) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a
      lien upon the Demised Premises or upon all or any part of the Industrial
      Complex unless such lien is discharged to Landlord's reasonable
      satisfaction by payment or bonding upon the earliest to

                                       25

<PAGE>

      occur of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days following imposition of such
      lien; (ii) within five (5) business days of Landlord's written
      notification to Tenant that the Building, Phase II or the Industrial
      Complex is the subject of a sale, potential sale, financing or potential
      financing necessitating the removal of the lien; or (iii) prior to
      commencement of an action for foreclosure of the lien.

            (h) Any transfer of a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant,
      or any incurrence of a material obligation by Tenant, unless such transfer
      or obligation is undertaken or incurred in the ordinary course of Tenant's
      business or in good faith for equivalent consideration, or with Landlord's
      consent.

            (i) The default of any guarantors of Tenant's obligations hereunder
      under any guaranty of this Lease, or the attempted repudiation or
      revocation of any such guaranty.

      22.2 Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have
the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies to the extent
permitted by law:

            (a) Without any further notice or demand whatsoever, Tenant shall be
      obligated to reimburse Landlord for the damages suffered by Landlord as a
      result of the event of default, plus interest on such amount at the
      maximum contractual rate which could legally be charged in the event of a
      loan of such amount to Tenant (but in no event to exceed 1-1/2% per
      month); and Landlord may pursue a monetary recovery from Tenant.

            (b) Without any further notice or demand whatsoever, Landlord may
      take any one or more of the actions permissible at law to insure
      performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this
      lease. In this regard, and without limiting the generality of the
      immediately preceding sentence, it is agreed that if Tenant fails to open
      for business as required in this lease or, having opened for business,
      deserts or vacates the Demised Premises, Landlord may enter upon and take
      possession of such premises in order to protect them from deterioration
      and continue to demand from Tenant the monthly rentals and other charges
      provided in this lease, without any obligation to relet; however, if
      Landlord does, at its sole discretion, elect to relet the Demised
      Premises, such action by Landlord shall not be deemed an acceptance of
      Tenant's surrender of the Demised Premises unless Landlord expressly
      notifies Tenant of such acceptance in writing pursuant to this subsection
      (b), Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord shall otherwise be
      reletting as Tenant's agent and Tenant furthermore hereby agreeing to pay
      to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise between the monthly
      rentals and other charges provided in this lease and that actually
      collected by Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall elect to relet,
      then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied:
      first, to the payment of any indebtedness (other than rent) due hereunder
      from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such
      reletting (including brokerage commissions); third, to the payment of the
      costs of any alterations to the Demised Premises required for such
      reletting and repairs to the Demised Premises; fourth, to the payment of
      rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by
      Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due
      and payable hereunder. Should reletting, during any month to which such
      rent is applied, result in the actual payment of rentals at less than the
      rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay
      such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord.
      Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also
      pay to Landlord as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by
      Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not
      covered by the rentals received from such reletting. Finally, it is agreed
      that in the event of any default described in subsection (g) of Section
      22.1 of this lease, Landlord may pay or bond around such lien, whether or
      not contested by Tenant; and in such event Tenant agrees to reimburse
      Landlord on demand for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
      any such action, with Tenant further agreeing that Landlord shall in no
      event be liable for any damages or claims resulting from such action. No
      action or inaction by Landlord including, without limitation, the re-entry
      or taking of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord pursuant to
      this Section 22.2(b) shall be construed as an election

                                       26

<PAGE>

      to terminate this lease or as interference with Tenant's rights of
      possession, assignment or subletting unless a written notice of such
      election shall be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be
      decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any
      reletting without termination by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time after
      such reletting, elect to terminate this lease for any such default.

            (c) Landlord may terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant,
      in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to
      Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this
      lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

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

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

                  (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 Tenant proves reasonably
            could be avoided; plus

                  (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
            detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
            obligations under this lease or which in the ordinary course would
            be likely to result therefrom, plus

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

                  As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the
                  time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum
                  rate permitted by law. As used in subparagraph (iii) above,
                  the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting
                  such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
                  of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

            Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies
            herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
            construed to constitute a waiver of such default. Tenant hereby
            waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right
            now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any
            court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy
            of the Demised Premises after any termination of this lease.

            (d) In addition to all other rights and remedies provided Landlord
      in this lease and by law, Landlord shall have the remedy described in
      California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the lease in
      effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it
      becomes due if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign the lease, subject
      to reasonable limitations).

      22.3 It is expressly agreed that in determining "the unpaid rent" as that
term is used throughout subsections 22.2(c)(i) and 22.2(c)(ii) above, there
shall be added to the minimum guaranteed rental (as specified in Sections 1.1(l)
and 4.1 of this lease) a sum equal to the charges for maintenance of the Common
Area (as specified in Sections 1.1(m) and 7.4 of this lease), and the payments
for taxes, charges and insurance (as specified in Article 6 of this lease).

      22.4 It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant
to subsections 22.2(b) and 22.2(c) above, Tenant shall compensate Landlord for
all expenses incurred by Landlord in

                                       27

<PAGE>

repossession (including, among other expenses, any increase in insurance
premiums caused by the vacancy of the Demised Premises), all expenses incurred
by Landlord in reletting (including, among other expenses, repairs, remodeling,
replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees), all concessions granted to a
new tenant upon reletting (including, among other concessions, renewal options),
all losses incurred by Landlord as a direct result of Tenant's default and a
reasonable allowance for Landlord's administrative efforts, salaries and
overhead attributable directly or indirectly to Tenant's default and Landlord's
pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable law.

      22.5 Landlord may restrain or enjoin any breach or threatened breach of
any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant herein contained without the
necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or irreparable harm. The
remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of
each other.

      22.6 If there is any legal, equitable or dispute resolution action or
proceeding between Landlord and Tenant to enforce any provision of this lease or
to protect or establish any right or remedy of either Landlord or Tenant
hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding will pay to the
prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appeal
in connection therewith, and if such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any
such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees will
be determined by the court or arbitration panel handling the proceeding and will
be included in and as a part of such judgment.

      22.7

            (a) Tenant acknowledges its obligation to deposit with Landlord the
      sum stated in Section 1.1(o) above, to be held by Landlord without
      interest as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants
      and obligations under this lease. Tenant agrees that such deposit may be
      commingled with Landlord's other funds and is not an advance payment of
      rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant.
      Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant that is not cured
      within applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may, from time to
      time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by
      law, use such funds to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of
      rentals and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to
      Landlord by such event of default, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
      demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to
      its original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, any
      remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant
      within thirty (30) days following termination of this lease (subject to
      the provisions of Section 19.6 above). Tenant hereby waives the
      protections of Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code, as it may
      hereafter be amended, or similar laws of like import.

            (b) Alternatively, Tenant may fulfill its obligation to provide a
      security deposit under this lease by delivering to Landlord, either
      concurrently with the execution of this lease by Tenant, or at any later
      date during the lease term, an original irrevocable standby letter of
      credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the amount specified in Section 1.1(o)
      above, naming Landlord as beneficiary, which Landlord may draw upon to
      cure any default under this lease or to compensate Landlord for any damage
      Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to perform any of its
      obligations hereunder within applicable notice and cure periods. Any such
      draw on the Letter of Credit shall not constitute a waiver of any other
      rights of Landlord with respect to such default or failure to perform. The
      Letter of Credit shall be issued by a major commercial bank reasonably
      acceptable to Landlord, with a San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York City
      service and claim point for the Letter of Credit; provided that it shall
      be acceptable if the major commercial bank is located elsewhere in the
      continental United States if it has a correspondent relationship with a
      bank in one of the identified cities or if it accepts presentation of the
      Letter of Credit by overnight courier service. The Letter of Credit shall
      have an expiration date not earlier than thirty (30) days after the
      Expiration Date (or, in the alternative, have a term of not less than one
      (1) year and be automatically renewable for an additional one (1) year
      period unless written notice of non-renewal

                                       28

<PAGE>

      is given by the issuer to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days prior to
      the expiration thereof) and shall provide that Landlord may make partial
      and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof. In
      addition, the Letter of Credit shall provide that, in the event of
      Landlord's assignment or other transfer of its interest in this lease, the
      Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge
      and without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and
      the bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or
      transferee. The Letter of Credit shall provide for same day payment to
      Landlord upon the issuer's receipt of a sight draft from Landlord together
      with Landlord's certificate certifying that the requested sum is due and
      payable from Tenant and Tenant has failed to pay, and with no other
      conditions, and otherwise be in form and content reasonably satisfactory
      to Landlord. If the Letter of Credit has an expiration date earlier than
      thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, then throughout the term
      hereof, Tenant shall provide evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit
      to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Letter of
      Credit expires. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the
      terms hereof, Tenant shall immediately replenish the Letter of Credit or
      provide Landlord with an additional letter of credit conforming to the
      requirements of this paragraph so that the amount available to Landlord
      from the Letter(s) of Credit provided hereunder is the amount specified
      above in Section 1.1(o). Tenant's failure to deliver any replacement,
      additional or extension of the Letter of Credit, or evidence of renewal of
      the Letter of Credit, within the time specified under this Lease shall
      entitle Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect. If no
      event of default (or breach that subsequently matures into an event of
      default) is outstanding at the expiration or termination of this lease,
      then within thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination,
      Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit or the balance of the
      Letter of Credit proceeds then held by Landlord; provided, however, that
      in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord
      that Tenant has performed all of its covenants and obligations hereunder.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees
      that Tenant's delivery of a Letter of Credit to Landlord substantially in
      the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I shall satisfy the requirements of
      this Section 22.7(b).

            (c) If Landlord liquidates the Letter of Credit as provided in the
      penultimate sentence of Section 22.7(b) above, Landlord shall hold the
      funds received from the Letter of Credit as security for Tenant's
      performance under this lease, and Landlord shall not be required to
      segregate such security deposit from its other funds, and no interest
      shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto. Such funds
      shall be handled in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 22.7(a)
      above.

      22.8

            (a) In the event of any default described in subsection (d) of
      Section 22.1 of this lease, any assumption and assignment must conform
      with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and, in order to provide
      Landlord with the assurances contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant
      must fulfill the following obligations, in addition to any other
      reasonable obligations that Landlord may require, before any assumption of
      this lease is effective: (i) all defaults under subsection (a) of Section
      22.1 of this lease must be cured within ten (10) days after the date of
      assumption; (ii) all other defaults under Section 22.1 of this lease other
      than under subsection (d) of Section 22.1 must be cured within fifteen
      (15) days after the date of assumption; (iii) all actual monetary losses
      incurred by Landlord (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
      fees) must be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date of
      assumption; and (iv) Landlord must receive within ten (10) days after the
      date of assumption a security deposit in the amount of six (6) months
      minimum guaranteed rental (using the minimum guaranteed rental in effect
      for the first full month immediately following the assumption) and an
      advance prepayment of minimum guaranteed rental in the amount of three (3)
      months minimum guaranteed rental (using the minimum guaranteed rental in
      effect for the first full month immediately following the assumption),
      both sums to be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 22.7 above and
      deemed to be rent under this lease for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code
      as amended and from time to time in effect.

                                       29

<PAGE>

            (b) In the event this lease is assumed in accordance with the
      requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and this lease, and is subsequently
      assigned, then, in addition to any other reasonable obligations that
      Landlord may require and in order to provide Landlord with the assurances
      contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall be provided with (i) a
      financial statement of the proposed assignee prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, though on a
      cash basis, which reveals a net worth in an amount sufficient, in
      Landlord's reasonable judgment, to assure the future performance by the
      proposed assignee of Tenant's obligations under this lease; or (ii) a
      written guaranty by one or more guarantors with financial ability
      sufficient to assure the future performance of Tenant's obligations under
      this lease, such guaranty to be in form and content satisfactory to
      Landlord and to cover the performance of all of Tenant's obligations under
      this lease.

                                   ARTICLE 23.
                        SUBORDINATION OF LANDLORD'S LIEN

      23.1 Landlord agrees that it will subordinate its statutory landlord's
lien to the security interest of any equipment lender of Tenant provided that
the subordination is limited to a specified transaction, the subordination
specifies the fixtures or equipment involved in the transaction and the form of
such subordination is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE 24.
                                  HOLDING OVER

      24.1 In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises
after the Expiration Date and without the execution of a new lease, it shall be
deemed to be occupying said premises as a tenant at sufferance at a rental equal
to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the minimum guaranteed rental due for the
month immediately preceding such expiration plus all other items of additional
rent due under this lease on a per diem basis until Tenant surrenders possession
of the Demised Premises to Landlord, and otherwise subject to all the
conditions, provisions and obligations of this tease. Neither any provision
hereof nor acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier
termination shall be deemed a consent to a holdover hereunder or result in a
renewal of this lease or an extension of the Term. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained herein, (i) Landlord expressly reserves the right to
require Tenant to surrender possession of the Demised Premises on the Expiration
Date or upon the earlier termination hereof, the right to reenter the Demised
Premises, and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant
and collect damages in connection with any such holding over, and (ii) Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred or suffered by Landlord
by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender the Demised Premises on the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the
provisions of this lease.

                                   ARTICLE 25.
                                     NOTICES

      25.1 Wherever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice
shall be in writing. Any notice or document required or permitted to be
delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered when actually received by
the designated addressee or, if earlier and regardless of whether actually
received or not, (i) the next business day after such notice is deposited with a
nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or
UPS), or (ii) three (3) business days after such notice is deposited in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses set out in Section
1.1 above (or at Landlord's option, to Tenant at the Demised Premises), or at
such other addresses as they have theretofore specified by written notice.

      25.2 If and when included within the term "Landlord" as used in this
instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall
jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such a notice
specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices
and payments to Landlord; if and when included within the term "Tenant" as used
in this instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all
shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such a
notice specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of
notices and payments to Tenant. All parties included within the terms "Landlord"
and "Tenant", respectively, shall be bound by notice and payments given in
accordance with the provisions of this Article to the same effect as if each had
received such notice or payment. In addition, Landlord and Tenant agree that
actions by either party and notices to the other party hereunder may be taken or
given by either party's attorney, property manager or other agent.

                                   ARTICLE 26.
                                   COMMISSIONS

      26.1 Landlord shall pay to the Leasing Broker (as set forth in Section
1.1(g) hereof) a commission for negotiating this lease, in accordance with the
Exclusive Listing Agreement--Leasing between Landlord and Leasing Broker. Tenant
and Landlord warrant that they have had no dealings with any broker or agent in
connection with this lease, other than Leasing Broker, whose commission shall be
paid as hereinabove provided, and Tenant's broker, Los Angeles Real Estate
Management, Inc. whose commission shall be paid by Leasing Broker by agreement
between Leasing Broker and Tenant's broker. Landlord and Tenant covenant to pay,
hold harmless and indemnify each other from and against any and all cost,
expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any
broker or agent utilized by the indemnitor with respect to this lease or the
negotiation hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 27.
                                   REGULATIONS

      27.1 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that there are now in effect and may
hereafter be enacted or go into effect federal, state, county and municipal
laws, orders, rules, directives and regulations relating to or affecting the
Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex, concerning the impact on the
environment of construction, land use, maintenance and operation of structures,
toxic or otherwise hazardous substances, and the conduct of business, including,
without limitation, the ADA and the Clean Air Act and regulations issued
thereunder (all of the foregoing, as amended from time to time, being herein
called the "Regulations"). Tenant will not cause or permit to be caused, any act
or practice, by negligence, omission or otherwise, that would adversely affect
the environment or do anything or permit anything to be done that would violate
any of said Regulations. Moreover, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord
by reason of any changes Landlord may make in the Industrial Complex or the
Demised Premises pursuant to said Regulations or any charges imposed upon
Tenant pursuant to said Regulations; provided that Tenant shall at all times
have reasonable access to and from the Demised Premises and such changes shall
not materially and adversely affect the conduct of Tenant's business at the
Demised Premises. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this
Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant to
the extent Landlord, acting in good faith, complies with any governmental law,
regulation or order, including without limitation the USA Patriot's Act (also
known as the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001").

      27.2 If, by reason of any Regulations, the payment to, or collection by,
Landlord of any rental or other charge (collectively referred to hereinafter as
"Lease Payments") payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of
this lease is in excess of the amount (the "Maximum Charge") permitted by the
Regulations, then Tenant, during the period (the "Freeze Period") when the
Regulations shall be in force and effect shall not be required to pay, nor shall
Landlord be permitted to collect, any sum in excess of the Maximum Charge. Upon
the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Freeze Period, or (ii) the issuance of
a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declaring the
Regulations to be invalid or not applicable to the provisions of this lease,
Tenant, to the extent not then proscribed by law, and commencing with the first
day of the month immediately following, shall pay to Landlord as additional

                                       31

<PAGE>

rental, in equal monthly installments during the balance of the term of this
lease, a sum equal to the cumulative difference between the Maximum Charges and
the Lease Payments during the Freeze Period. If any provisions of this Section,
or the application thereof, shall to any extent be declared to be invalid and
unenforceable, the same shall not be deemed to affect any of the other
provisions of this Section or of this lease, all of which shall be deemed valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      27.3 Tenant acknowledges that it will be wholly responsible for any
accommodations or alterations which need to be made to the Demised Premises to
accommodate disabled employees and customers of Tenant, including without
limitation, the requirements under the ADA and any equivalent California law.
Any alterations made to the Demised Premises in order to comply with either
statute must be made solely at Tenant's expense and in compliance with all terms
and requirements of this lease. Landlord agrees to make reasonable efforts to
ensure that the Common Area is in compliance with the applicable disability
access laws as of the date hereof. If a complaint is received by Landlord from
either a private or government source regarding disability access to the Common
Area of the Industrial Complex, Landlord reserves the right to mediate, contest,
comply with or otherwise respond to such complaint as Landlord deems to be
reasonably prudent under the circumstances. If Landlord decides to make
alterations to the Common Area of the Industrial Complex in response to any such
complaints or in response to legal requirements Landlord considers to be
applicable to the Common Area of the Industrial Complex, the cost of such
alterations shall be included in the Common Area maintenance charge under this
lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that so long as the governmental entity or
entities charged with enforcing such statutes have not expressly notified
Landlord that Landlord is not in compliance and required Landlord to take
specific action to effectuate compliance with such statutes, Landlord shall be
conclusively deemed to be in compliance with such statutes. Tenant agrees to
provide Landlord with written notice should Tenant become aware of a violation
of such statutes with respect to the Common Area. In the event Landlord is
required to take action to effectuate compliance with such statutes, Landlord
shall have a reasonable period of time to make the improvements and alterations
necessary to effectuate such compliance, which period of time shall be extended
by any time necessary to cause any necessary improvements and alterations to be
made.

                                   ARTICLE 28.
                               HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

      28.1 During the term of this lease, Tenant shall comply with all
Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits (each as defined in Section 28.7
hereof) applicable to the operation or use of the Demised Premises, will cause
all other persons occupying or using the Demised Premises to comply with all
such Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, will immediately pay or cause
to be paid all costs and expenses incurred by reason of such compliance, and
will obtain and renew all Environmental Permits required for the operation or
use of the Demised Premises by Tenant.

      28.2 Except as expressly provided in this lease, Tenant shall not
generate, use, treat, store, handle, release or dispose of, or permit the
generation, use, treatment, storage, handling, release or disposal of Hazardous
Materials (as defined in Section 28.7 hereof) on the Demised Premises, or the
Industrial Complex, or transport or permit the transportation of Hazardous
Materials to or from the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex except for
limited quantities used or stored at the Demised Premises and required in
connection with the routine operation and maintenance of the Demised Premises,
and then only upon the written consent of Landlord and in compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may use the following Hazardous Materials, as same are used in
the ordinary course of Tenant's business: (i) compressed gases (propane) for
fork-lifts/high-los; (ii) small quantities of lubricating oil for engines; and
(iii) small quantities of solvents, provided that Tenant's use of such Hazardous
Materials is in accordance with all Environmental Laws (as defined in Section
28.7 below). Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 28.2, Tenant may
perform basic preventative maintenance ("Maintenance") of tractors, trailers and
warehouse equipment at the Demised Premises provided that all such Maintenance
is performed in accordance with all Environmental Laws. As used in this section,
"Maintenance" shall be deemed to mean tractor, trailer and forklift oil changes
and grease maintenance, tire and brake replacement, and

                                       32

minor vehicle repairs, which shall in no event include engine, transmission or
drivetrain overhauls or rebuilding.

      28.3 At any time and from time to time during the term of this lease,
Landlord may perform an environmental site assessment report concerning the
Demised Premises, prepared by an environmental consulting firm chosen by
Landlord, to determine whether Tenant is in violation of any applicable
Environmental Laws or in violation of the terms of this Article 28 and the
potential cost of any compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with
any such violation on the Demised Premises. Tenant shall grant and hereby grants
to Landlord and its agents access to the Demised Premises for such purpose and
specifically grants Landlord an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake
such an assessment. The cost of such environmental site assessment shall be
borne by Landlord unless (i) Landlord initiates same based on Landlord's
reasonable belief that Tenant has caused or permitted a violation of any
applicable Environmental Laws on or at the Demised Premises or that Tenant has
violated the terms of this Article 28, (ii) the results of such assessment
indicate that Tenant has caused or permitted a violation of any applicable
Environmental Laws on or at the Demised Premises or that Tenant has violated
the terms of this Article 28, or (iii) such assessment is initiated by Landlord
incident to the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant under Articles 9 or
28 of this lease. If Tenant shall be held responsible for the costs of the
assessment as above described, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the costs of such
assessment within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written demand
therefor.

      28.4 Tenant will immediately advise Landlord in writing of any of the
following: (1) any pending or threatened Environmental Claim (as defined in
Section 28.7 hereof) against Tenant relating to the Demised Premises or the
Industrial Complex; (2) any condition or occurrence on the Demised Premises or
the Industrial Complex that (a) results in noncompliance by Tenant with any
applicable Environmental Law, or (b) could reasonably be anticipated to form the
basis of an Environmental Claim against Tenant or Landlord or the Demised
Premises; (3) any condition or occurrence on the Demised Premises or any
property adjoining the Demised Premises (to the extent that Tenant becomes aware
of such condition or occurrence) that could reasonably be anticipated to cause
the Demised Premises to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership,
occupancy, use or transferability of the Demised Premises under any
Environmental Law; and (4) the actual or anticipated taking of any removal or
remedial action by Tenant in response to the actual or alleged presence of any
Hazardous Material on the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex. All such
notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim,
investigation, condition, occurrence or removal or remedial action and Tenant's
response thereto. In addition, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all
communications regarding the Demised Premises with any government or
governmental agency relating to Environmental Laws, all such communications with
any person relating to Environmental Claims, and such detailed reports of any
such Environmental Claim as may reasonably be requested by Landlord.

      28:5 Tenant will not change or permit to be changed the use of the Demised
Premises permitted under Section 1.1(p) above unless Tenant shall have notified
Landlord thereof in writing and Landlord shall have determined, in its sole and
absolute discretion, that such change will not result in the presence of
Hazardous Materials on the Demised Premises except for those described in
Section 28.2 above.

      28.6

            (a) Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
      Indemnitees (as defined in Section 21.1) from and against all obligations
      (including removal and remedial actions), losses, claims, suits,
      judgments, liabilities, penalties, damages (including consequential and
      punitive damages), costs and expenses (including attorneys' and
      consultants' fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may
      at any time be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such
      Indemnities directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from
      (a) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on the
      Industrial Complex which is caused or permitted by Tenant and (b) any
      Environmental Claim relating in any way to Tenant's operation or use of
      the Demised Premises (the "Hazardous Materials Indemnified Matters"). The
      provisions of this Article 28 shall survive the expiration or sooner
      termination of this lease.

<PAGE>

            (b) To the extent that the undertaking in the preceding paragraph
      may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
      Tenant will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and
      satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
      Hazardous Materials Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnities.

            (c) All sums paid and costs incurred by Landlord with respect to any
      Hazardous Materials Indemnified Matter shall bear interest at the rate of
      one percent (1%) per annum over the then current prime rate published in
      the WALL STREET JOURNAL from the date so paid or incurred until reimbursed
      by Tenant, and all such sums and costs shall be due and payable within ten
      (10) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written demand therefor.

      28.8 Landlord hereby advises Tenant that portions of the property on which
the Industrial Complex is located were used for petroleum refining, transfer and
storage during the 1900s. All of these uses were discontinued prior to 1996.
Soil and groundwater remediation commenced in 1998 under the auspices of the Los
Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board ("LARWQCB"). The LARWQCB issued a
no further action letter with respect to the remediation of the soils on the
property in January 2000. Groundwater monitoring is continuing on portions of
the property and Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with all
groundwater monitoring requirements. For additional information, Tenant may
contact the LARWQCB. Landlord has provided Tenant with a copy of its Phase I
Report for the property and a copy of the referenced no further action letter.

      28.9 Landlord shall and hereby does indemnify Tenant and hold Tenant
harmless from and against any and all expense, loss and liability suffered by
Tenant by reason of the storage, generation, release, handling, treatment,
transportation, disposal, arrangement for transportation or disposal, or
existence of any Hazardous Materials attributable to events, acts, omissions or
conditions that occurred, existed or originated at, in, under or on the Demised
Premises or adjoining real property on or before the Commencement Date unless
caused by Tenant. Such expenses, losses and liabilities shall include, without
limitation: (i) any and all expenses that Tenant may incur to comply with any
Environmental Laws;

                                       34

<PAGE>

(ii) any and all costs that Tenant may incur in studying, remedying, removing,
disposing or otherwise addressing any such Hazardous Materials; (iii) any and
all fines, penalties or other sanctions imposed upon Tenant relating to such
Hazardous Materials or contamination; and (iv) all reasonable attorneys' and
professional fees and costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the foregoing.
This indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
lease.

                                   ARTICLE 29.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      29.1 Nothing in this lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties
hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and
agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being
understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any
other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be
deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the
relationship of landlord and tenant.

      29.2 Tenant shall not for any reason withhold or reduce Tenant's required
payments of rentals and other charges provided in this lease, it being agreed
that the obligations of Landlord under this lease are independent of Tenant's
obligations except as may be otherwise expressly provided. The immediately
preceding sentence shall not be deemed to deny Tenant the ability of pursuing
all rights granted it under this lease or at law; however, at the direction of
Landlord, Tenant's claims in this regard shall be litigated in proceedings
different from any litigation involving rental claims or other claims by
Landlord against Tenant (i.e., each party may proceed to a separate judgment
without consideration, counterclaim or offset as to the claims asserted by the
other party).

      29.3 The liability of Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, or employees to Tenant for or in
respect of any default by Landlord under the terms of this lease or in respect
of any other claim or cause of action shall be limited to the interest of
Landlord in the Industrial Complex, and Tenant agrees to look solely to
Landlord's interest in the Industrial Complex for the recovery and satisfaction
of any judgment against Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, and employees.

      29.4 In all circumstances under this lease where the prior consent of one
party (the "consenting party"), whether it be Landlord or Tenant, is required
before the other party (the "requesting party") is authorized to take any
particular type of action, such consent shall not be withheld in a wholly
unreasonable and arbitrary manner; however, the requesting party agrees that its
exclusive remedy if it believes that consent has been withheld improperly
(including, but not limited to, consent required from Landlord pursuant to
Section 19.1) shall be to institute litigation either for a declaratory judgment
or for a mandatory injunction requiring that such consent be given (with the
requesting party hereby waiving any claim for damages, attorneys' fees or any
other remedy unless the consenting party refuses to comply with a court order or
judgment requiring it to grant its consent).

      29.5 Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken
by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be
excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to
strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental
laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any kind whatsoever
which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

      29.6 [Intentionally deleted.]

      29.7 If any provision of this lease should be held to be invalid or
unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this lease shall not be affected thereby.

      29.8 Landlord hereby advises Tenant that the Industrial Complex is subject
to the Port Los Angeles Distribution Center Ridesharing Program ("Ridesharing
Program") approved by the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation
("LADOT"). Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate with Landlord and

                                       35

<PAGE>

any Property Transportation Coordinator ("PTC") identified by Landlord in
connection with the implementation and monitoring of the Ridesharing Program. In
compliance with the Ridesharing Program, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost:
(i) display bicycle, transit and ridesharing information provided by the PTC in
the employee common areas of the Demised Premises; (ii) within fifteen (15) days
after Landlord's request, conduct an annual commuter survey of its employees to
collect information requested by the PTC pursuant to the Ridesharing Program;
(iii) furnish transportation information (including public transit, bicycle and
ridesharing information) to all employees of Tenant at the Demised Premises;
(iv) designate an individual to serve as Tenant's on-site contact for
transportation matters (which designation may be changed from time to time by
written notice to Landlord); and (v) otherwise comply with all reasonable
requests of Landlord, the PTC and/or LADOT made pursuant to the Ridesharing
Program as in effect from time to time during the term of this lease.

      29.9 The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation,
validity, performance and enforcement of this lease. Venue for any action under
this lease shall be the county in which rentals are due pursuant to Section 4.2
and Section 1.1 of this lease.

      29.10 The captions used herein are for convenience only and do not limit
or amplify the provisions hereof.

      29.11 Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include
the plural, and words of any gender shall include each other gender.

      29.12 All covenants and obligations contained within this lease shall bind
and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be
binding upon Tenant, its permitted successors and assigns.

      29.13 This lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no
rights are created in favor of either party other than as specified or expressly
contemplated in this lease. No brochure, rendering, information or
correspondence shall be deemed to be a part of this agreement unless
specifically incorporated herein by reference. In addition, no agreement shall
be effective to change, modify or terminate this lease in whole or in part
unless such is in writing and duly signed by the party against whom enforcement
of such change, modification or termination is sought.

      29.14 LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE NOT RELYING
UPON ANY BROCHURE, RENDERING, INFORMATION, REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE OF THE
OTHER, OR OF THE AGENT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.

      29.15 No waiver of any of the terms, covenants, provisions, conditions,
rules and regulations imposed by this lease, and no waiver of any legal or
equitable relief or remedy, shall be implied by the failure of Landlord to
assert any rights, declare any forfeiture, or for any other reason. No waiver of
any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, rules and regulations shall
be valid unless it shall be in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord
or forgiveness of performance by Landlord for one or more tenants shall
constitute a waiver or forgiveness of performance in respect to Tenant.
Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's
consent or approval under this lease shall not be deemed to render unnecessary
the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of
Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term of
this lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises,
unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of the keys to any employee
or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this lease or a
surrender of the Demised Premises. The acceptance of any rent by Landlord
following a breach of this lease by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver by
Landlord of such breach or any other breach unless such waiver is expressly
stated in a writing signed by Landlord.

      29.16 Tenant shall deliver and surrender to Landlord possession of the
Demised Premises (including all of Tenant's permanent work upon and to the
Demised Premises, all replacements and all fixtures permanently attached to the
Demised Premises) immediately on the Expiration Date or the earlier

                                       36

<PAGE>

termination of this lease in as good condition and repair as the same were on
the delivery date (loss by any insured casualty and ordinary wear and tear only
excepted) and deliver the keys at the office of Landlord or Landlord's agent;
provided, however, that upon Landlord's request made at least thirty (30) days
prior to the end of the term, or the date Tenant is otherwise required to vacate
the Demised Premises, Tenant shall remove all fixtures and equipment affixed to
the Demised Premises by Tenant, and repair and restore the Demised Premises to
their condition on the delivery date (loss by any insured casualty and ordinary
wear and tear only excepted}, at Tenant's sole expense. The removal shall be
performed prior to the earlier of the end of the term or the date Tenant is
required to vacate the Demised Premises.

      29.17 Tenant shall not record this lease. Without the prior written
consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not record any memorandum of this lease, short
form or other reference to this lease.

      29.18 The submission of this lease for examination does not constitute a
reservation of or option for the Demised Premises or any other space in the
Industrial Complex, and shall not vest any right in Tenant. This lease shall
become effective as a lease only upon its execution and delivery by the parties.

      29.19 LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON,
ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY DOCUMENTS
CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER
PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THE DEMISED PREMISES
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS LEASE OR ANY
CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS LEASE WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS
OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LANDLORD
TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS LEASE.

      29.20 If Tenant is a corporation (including any form of professional
association), then each individual executing or attesting this lease on behalf
of such corporation covenants, warrants and represents that he or she is duly
authorized to execute or attest and deliver this lease on behalf of such
corporation. If Tenant is a partnership (general or limited) or limited
liability company, then each individual executing this lease on behalf of the
partnership or company hereby covenants, warrants and represents that he or she
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this lease on behalf of the
partnership or company in accordance with the partnership agreement or
membership agreement, as the case may be, or an amendment thereto, now in
effect.

      29.21 If at any time during the terms of this lease, the WALL STREET
JOURNAL shall stop publishing the prime rate or shall cease publication
entirely, the parties shall thereafter accept and use the prime rate published
on a daily basis (excepting weekends) by a responsible financial newspaper or
periodical of recognized authority then to be selected by Landlord (but subject
to reasonable approval by Tenant).

      29.22

            (a) Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that an affiliate
      of Landlord is a trust fund (the "Fund") which holds the assets of one or
      more employee benefit plans or retirement arrangements which are subject
      to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
      1986, as amended (the "Code") (each a "Plan") and with respect to which
      Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT") is the investment
      manager and that, as a result, Landlord may be prohibited by law from
      engaging in certain transactions.

            (b) Tenant represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, and
      at all times while it is a Tenant under this lease, one of the following
      statements is, and, subject to subsection (c), will continue to be, true:
      (1) Tenant is not a "party in interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of
      ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code)
      (each a "Party in

                                       37

<PAGE>

      Interest") with respect to the Plans invested in the AT&T Master Pension
      Trust II ("LTIT Plan") or, (2) if Tenant is a Party in Interest, that:

                  (A) neither Tenant nor its "affiliate" (as defined in Section
            V(c) of PTCE 84-14, "ERISA Affiliate") has, or during the
            immediately preceding one (1) year has, had an officer or director
            serve as a member of the Board of Directors of AT&T Corp. ("Board
            Member") and

                  (B) neither Tenant nor any entity controlling, or controlled
            by, Tenant owns a five percent (5%) or more interest (within the
            meaning of PTCE 84-14, "5% Interest") in J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

            (c) In the event that Tenant becomes aware that any statement in
      subparagraph (b) is no longer true with respect to an LTIT Plan, it will
      not be deemed a default hereunder provided Tenant notifies Landlord
      thereof with reasonable promptness and cooperates with Landlord and/or the
      Fund in its efforts to take whatever action is necessary under ERISA to
      rectify the situation. Such action may include the Board Member agreeing
      in writing to abstain from voting on any matter which would be deemed to
      be exercising the authority to either: (i) appoint or terminate JPMorgan
      Chase Bank as the qualified professional asset manager (as defined in
      Section V(a) of PTCE 84-14, "QPAM") of any of the assets of the LTIT Plan
      with respect to which Tenant or its ERISA Affiliate is a Party in
      Interest; or (ii) negotiate the terms of the management agreement with
      JPMorgan Chase Bank, including renewals or modifications thereof, on
      behalf of an LTIT Plan.
