         SECTION 1.1. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases
from Landlord the demised premises, including the building and other

Three Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Four Dollars ($3,564.00) per month for the
first year of the demised term and increasing by three and one-half percent
(3.5%) each year thereafter at the same time as Base Rent under Subparagraph A

day Tenant occupies and/or uses the same for any purpose.

         SECTION 2.2. For the purpose of this Lease, a year shall be twelve (12)
calendar months, commencing with the first day of the first full calendar month
of the demised term and the succeeding anniversaries thereof. For any period
prior to the commencement of the first year or subsequent to the end of the last
year of the demised term, rent shall be prorated on the basis of the rental rate
then payable.

         SECTION 2.3. All sums payable and all statements deliverable to
Landlord by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid and delivered at 60 Hillsdale
Mall, San Mateo, California 94403-3497, or at such other place as Landlord may

lawful money of the United States.

         SECTION 2.4. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall provide the
Landlord with the following:

         (A) the sum of Sixty Four Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Dollars
($64,350.00) which shall be applied by Landlord to the first base rent to become
due and payable under this Lease, and

         (B) a letter of credit in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00) which shall be held as a Security Deposit pursuant to the
terms of SECTION 19.9.

         Tenant shall deliver said letter of credit to Landlord concurrently
with Tenant's execution of this Lease. Such letter of credit shall be issued by
and drawn on an institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord and otherwise upon
conditions acceptable to Landlord and shall be renewed at least thirty (30) days
prior to any scheduled expiration during the entire demised term hereof and
shall remain in effect without expiration for a term ending sixty (60) days
after the scheduled expiration or sooner termination the demised term of this
Lease (including any extended term(s)).

<PAGE>

         Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default that is not
cured within the applicable notice or grace period, if any, as provided herein,
Landlord shall be permitted to draw upon the letter of credit in the amount
necessary to cure such default. The letter of credit shall be substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit "D".

         SECTION 2.5. In addition to base rent under SECTION 2.1., all other
payments to be made under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed to be
and shall become additional rent hereunder, whether or not the same to be
designated as such, and shall be included in the term "rent" wherever used in
this Lease; and, unless another time shall be expressly provided for the payment
thereof, all rent and additional rent shall be due and payable together with the
next succeeding installment of base rent; and Landlord shall have the same
remedies for failure to pay the same as for a nonpayment of base rent.

         SECTION 2.6. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord that is not paid
when due and that remains unpaid for five (5) days after written notice to
Tenant shall bear interest at the rate announced from time to time by Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. as its prime rate plus five percent but not to exceed the
highest rate then permitted to be charged on late payments under leases under
California law; provided, however, the payment of any such interest shall not
excuse or cure the default upon which such interest accrued. Tenant acknowledges
and agrees that payment of such interest on late payments is reasonable
compensation to Landlord for the additional costs incurred by Landlord caused by
such late payment, including, but not limited to, collection and administration
expenses and the loss of the use of the money that was late in payment.

                   ARTICLE 3 - LANDLORD'S WORK - TENANT'S WORK

         SECTION 3.1. Landlord shall, on or before commencement of the demised
term (except as provided in Exhibit "C"), provide, or cause to be provided,
certain interior improvements as described on EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto in
compliance with applicable laws. Except for the work described in EXHIBIT "C",
Landlord shall not be required to perform any other work in the demised
premises; and except for the work described in EXHIBIT "C", Tenant accepts the
demised premises in an "as is" condition.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord agrees that it
will deliver possession of the demised premises to Tenant with the parking area
and walkways in good condition and the following existing building systems in
good working condition and repair: the roof; exterior walls; HVAC system;
electrical system; mechanical; plumbing; lighting; and the existing men's and
women's restrooms in the interior of the building.

         SECTION 3.2. Any additional work to be performed other than that
provided for in SECTION 3.1. and designated as Landlord's Work shall be
performed at the sole cost of Tenant in accordance with detailed plans and
specifications therefor which must be approved, in writing, by Landlord or
Landlord's architect before work is commenced. Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with a set of "as built" plans therefor in Windows-based AutoCAD format or such
other format which is compatible to Landlord's computer aided design software
after any such work is completed.

<PAGE>

         Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws
(including the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA")) applicable to its use
and occupancy of the demised premises, including changes required to the
building or demised premises on account of, or arising from, Tenant's work and
improvements, except as expressly provided in EXHIBIT "C" with respect to
Landlord's work.

                               ARTICLE 4 - STREETS

         SECTION 4.1. Tenant agrees to require employees, and to direct
customers and other persons visiting Tenant, to park in the parking area
provided in the Parking and Accommodation Areas, as defined in Article 18 below,

and shall pay for the water, gas and/or electricity used on the demised premises
and sewer use fees and charges whether ad valorum or not and any so called
"sewer connection charges" based on increased wastewater discharge from the
demised premises exclusively. Tenant shall maintain such connections of
utilities to the building.

         SECTION 5.2. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of
any utility services.

                  ARTICLE 6 - ASSIGNMENT - CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

         SECTION 6.1.

         A. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not, by operation
of law or otherwise, transfer, assign, sublet, enter into license or concession
agreements, change ownership, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or the Tenant's
interest in and to the demised premises without first procuring the written
consent of Landlord. Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, license or
concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation without
Landlord's written consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any third
person. Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or sublease shall not be
unreasonably withheld provided that the proposed assignee or sublessee shall
have: (i) a net worth, at the time of the assignment or sublease, determined in
accordance with good accounting principles, equal to or in excess of the net
worth of Tenant at the date of the Lease; (ii) been active in its current
business for a minimum of three (3) years immediately prior to the assignment or
sublease; and (iii) a good reputation in the business community; provided
further that Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30)
days notice prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease, and
if the transfer is an assignment or a sublease of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the demised premises, Landlord shall

                                       4
<PAGE>

have the option to terminate this Lease with respect to the space to be assigned
or subleased by notice to Tenant given within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's notice in which event Tenant shall be released from further
liability with respect to the recaptured space as of the date the assignment or
sublease was to commence. Nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant and any
Guarantor from its covenants and obligations for the demised term except as
expressly provided herein. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's
reasonable outside attorneys' fees incurred in conjunction with the processing
and documentation of any such requested transfer, assignment, subletting,
licensing or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or
hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the demised premises,
not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per transaction. If Landlord
consents to any assignment or sublease pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall
pay Landlord, as additional rent:

                (a) in the case of each and every assignment (including those
         which do not require Landlord's consent), an amount equal to  fifty
         percent (50%) of all monies, property, and other consideration of every
         kind whatsoever paid or payable to Tenant by the assignee with respect
         to the demised premises for such assignment and for all property of
         Tenant transferred to the assignee as part of the transaction
         (including, but not limited to, fixtures, other leasehold improvements,
         furniture, equipment, and furnishings, but only to the extent that the
         consideration paid exceeds the fair market value thereof ); and

                (b) in the case of each and every sublease (including those
         which do not require Landlord's consent), fifty percent (50%) of
         the amount by which all rent, and/or other monies, property, and
         consideration of every kind whatsoever paid or payable to Tenant by the
         subtenant under the sublease with respect to the demised premises,
         exceeds the sum of (y) all base rent and additional rent under
         this Lease accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the
         subleased space (as reasonably determined by Landlord, taking into
         account the useable area of the premises demised under the sublease)
         plus (x) the following:

                           (i) commissions actually paid by Tenant to procure
         the sublease to an independent third party licensed real estate broker
         amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the sublease,
         commencing with the date on which the sublease term commences; and

                           (ii) the actual cost of leasehold improvements
         undertaken by Tenant (subject to Landlord's prior written consent)
         solely to prepare the subleased space for the subtenant amortized on a
         straight line basis over the term of the sublease, commencing with the
         date on which the sublease term commences.

         B. Each transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession
agreement, mortgage and hypothecation to which there has been consent shall be
by an instrument in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and
shall be executed by the transferor, assignor, sublessor, licensor,
concessionaire, hypothecator or mortgagor and the transferee, assignee,
sublessee,

                                       5
<PAGE>


licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee in each instance, as the case may be; and
each transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee
shall agree in writing for the benefit of Landlord herein to assume, to be bound
by, and to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done,
kept and performed by Tenant from and after the effective date of the transfer
including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease
directly to Landlord. One (1) executed copy of such written instrument shall be
delivered to Landlord. Failure to first obtain in writing Landlord's consent or
failure to comply with the provisions of this Article shall operate to prevent
any such transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession agreement,
mortgage, or hypothecation from becoming effective.

         C. If Tenant hereunder is a corporation which, under the then current
laws of the State of California, is not deemed a public corporation, or is an
unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or
hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or
partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed an
assignment within the meaning and provisions of this SECTION 6.1.

         D. Landlord's rights to assign this Lease are and shall remain
unqualified. Upon any sale of the demised premises and provided the purchaser
assumes all obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon be entirely
released of all obligations of Landlord hereunder from and after the effective
date of the transfer and shall not be subject to any liability resulting from
any act or omission or event occurring after such sale.

         E. The consent of Landlord to any transfer, assignment, sublease,
license or concession agreement, change in ownership, mortgage or hypothecation
of this Lease is not and shall not operate as a consent to any future or further
transfer, assignment, sublease, license or concession agreement, change in
ownership, mortgage or hypothecation, and Landlord specifically reserves the
right to refuse to grant any such consents except as otherwise provided in this
SECTION 6.1.

         Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Landlord's
consent shall not be required (and Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate
this Lease as otherwise provided in Section 6.1.A.) in connection with the
merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, the transfer or issuance of Tenant's
capital stock (whether or not constituting a change of control of Tenant), or
any assignment or sublease to any entity controlled by, controlling, or under
common control with Tenant (collectively, a "Tenant Affiliate"), so long as the
net worth of the surviving entity or Tenant Affiliate is at least equal to the
net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the transfer or as of the date of this
Lease, whichever is greater; provided that any such surviving entity or Tenant
Affiliate comply with the provisions of this Lease; and further provided that
any such surviving entity or Tenant Affiliate shall agree in writing, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed
by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this
Lease directly to Landlord, without any modification of this Lease. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with the following no later than ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of the proposed merger or other consolidation transaction: (i)
the name and address of the surviving entity or Tenant Affiliate, and (ii) a
copy of the proposed assignment agreement, and (iii) such reasonable information
as may be requested by Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
releasing

                                       6
<PAGE>

Tenant from any of its liabilities or other obligations hereunder, including the
payment of rent.

insurer agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord's said designees
harmless from and against all cost, expense and/or liability arising out of or
based upon any and all claims, accidents, injuries and damage mentioned in
SECTION 9.1. All public liability and property damage policies shall contain a
provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be
entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its
servants, agents and employees, by reason of the negligence of Tenant. Each such
policy shall be approved as to form and insurance company by Landlord, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, be noncancelable with respect to the
Landlord and Landlord's said designees without twenty (20) days' written notice
to the Landlord and Landlord's said designees, and a duplicate original or
certificate thereof shall be delivered to Landlord prior to commencement of the
demised term and thereafter thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the term of
each policy. The limits of liability of such comprehensive general liability
insurance shall be Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or death to
one or more persons and damage to property, combined single limit. All public
liability, property damage and other casualty policies shall be written as
primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which
Landlord may carry.

         If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants to maintain insurance
made above, or if Tenant fails to provide duplicate originals or certificates
thereof to Landlord as is provided above, Landlord may, but shall not be
required to, obtain any such insurance; and if Landlord does obtain any such
insurance, Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord for the premium for any
such insurance.

         SECTION 9.3. Tenant agrees to use and occupy the demised premises, the
Parking and Accommodation Areas and to use all other portions of the Business
Park (which it is herein given the right to use) at its own risk and hereby
releases to the full extent permitted by law the Landlord, and its agents,
servants, contractors, and employees, from all claims and demands of every kind
resulting from any accident, damage or injury occurring therein. Landlord shall
have no responsibility or liability for any loss of or damage to fixtures or
other personal property of Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall apply
during the whole of the demised term.

                    ARTICLE 10 - FIRE INSURANCE AND CASUALTY

         SECTION 10.1. If the building on the demised premises should be damaged
or destroyed during the demised term by any casualty insurable under Landlord's
standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies, Landlord shall (except
as hereinafter provided) repair and/or rebuild the same to substantially the
condition in which the same existed immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. Landlord's obligation under this Section shall in no event exceed
either (A) the scope of the work done by Landlord in the original construction
of such building, or (B) the proceeds of any such insurance policy if Landlord
keeps the building and the demised premises insured against loss or damage by
such fire and extended coverage insurance to the extent of at least eighty
percent (80%) of the insurable value of the building if reasonably obtainable
from responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in California,
unless Landlord nevertheless elects to repair and/or rebuild the building and
the demised premises. Tenant shall in the event of any such damage or
destruction, unless this Lease shall be terminated as hereinafter provided, be
responsible for replacing or repairing all exterior signs, trade fixtures,
equipment, display cases, and other installations originally installed by the
Tenant. Tenant shall have no interest in the proceeds of any insurance carried
by Landlord.

         SECTION 10.2. Tenant's base rent shall be abated proportionately during
any period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, the building
is rendered partially or totally untenantable. Such abatement shall continue for
the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the
substantial completion by the Landlord of such work or repair and/or
reconstruction as Landlord is obligated to do.

         SECTION 10.3. If the building on the demised premises should be damaged
or destroyed to the extent of 33-1/3% or more of the then monetary value thereof
by an event described in SECTION 10.1., then Landlord may terminate this Lease
by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the casualty.

         If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease then Landlord shall
repair and/or rebuild the same as provided in SECTION 10.1. If such damage or
destruction occurs and this Lease is not so terminated, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect and the parties waive the provisions of any law to the
contrary. The Landlord's obligation under this Section shall in no event exceed
the scope of the work to be done by the Landlord in the original construction of
said building and the demised premises.

                                       10
<PAGE>


         Within thirty (30) days after any casualty, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with an estimate prepared by a contractor, architect or other reliable
source stating the estimated time required to repair the damage and to restore
the demised premises to their condition prior to the casualty. If such repair
and restoration will require more than two hundred seventy (270) days from the
date of such notice, then Tenant, upon written notice to Landlord given within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such estimate, may terminate this Lease.

         SECTION 10.4. Tenant agrees to comply with all of the regulations and
rules of the Insurance Service Office or any similar body and will not do,
suffer, or permit an act to be done in or about the demised premises which will
increase any insurance rate with respect thereto.

         SECTION 10.5. Tenant agrees, in addition to any rent provided for
herein, to pay to the Landlord the cost of the fire and extended coverage
insurance policy carried by Landlord on the demised premises during the entire
demised term or any renewal or extension thereof. This Section expressly permits
the Landlord to carry standard fire and extended coverage policies to the extent
of one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value.

         SECTION 10.6. During the demised term, Tenant shall carry, at its
expense, insurance against loss and damage by fire with an "All Risk"
endorsement for the full insurable value of Tenant's merchandise, trade
fixtures, furnishings, operating equipment and personal property, including wall
coverings, carpeting and drapes, if installed by Tenant. Landlord and Landlord's
mortgagee shall be named as additional insureds under said policy, which shall
be noncancellable with respect to Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee without
twenty (20) days' prior written notice. A certificate evidencing such coverage
shall be delivered to Landlord prior to commencement of the demised term and
thereafter thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such policy.
Such insurance shall be written as a primary policy, not contributing with and
not in excess of coverage Landlord may carry. If Tenant shall not comply with
its covenants to maintain said insurance, or if Tenant fails to provide a
certificate thereof to Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be required to,
obtain any such insurance, and if Landlord does obtain any such insurance,
Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord for the premium for any such
insurance.

         SECTION 10.7. In the event the building on the demised premises shall
be damaged as a result of any flood, earthquake, act of war, nuclear reaction,
nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination, or from any other casualty not
covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance, and if the cost of
repair reasonably is expected to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00) Landlord may within ninety (90) days following the date of such
damage, commence repair, reconstruction or restoration of the building and
prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, or within said ninety (90) day period elect
not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the building, in which event this Lease
shall cease and terminate. In either such event Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of its intention within said ninety-day period.

                                       11
<PAGE>


         SECTION 10.8. Upon any termination of this Lease under the provisions
of this ARTICLE 10, the rent shall be adjusted as of the date of such
termination and the parties shall be released without further obligation to the
other party upon the surrender of possession of the demised premises to
Landlord, except for items that have been theretofore accrued and are then
unpaid, and except for obligations that are designated as surviving such
termination.

         SECTION 10.9. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE 10 or elsewhere
in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may maintain any insurance on the
demised premises that Landlord deems necessary or advisable, including, but not
limited to, any rental insurance (for up to twelve (12) months of rent), owner's
protective liability insurance or any insurance required by any mortgagee of
Landlord; and Landlord may include the amount of the premiums for such insurance
in the total of the insurance premiums which Tenant is required to pay under the
terms hereof.

         Section 10.10. Landlord and Tenant each (i) hereby waives all claims
such party may have against the other to the extent such claims are covered by
insurance carried or required to be carried under this Article 10, and (ii)
shall cause their respective insurers to similarly waive all rights of recovery
against the other, and against the officers, employees, partners, agents and
representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to the property of the
waiving party or the property of others under its control, to the extent such
loss or damage is (or would have been) insured against under any insurance
policy carried (or required to be carried) by Landlord or Tenant under this
Article 10. Each of Tenant and Landlord shall obtain a clause or endorsement to
the applicable insurance policies carried by such party denying its insurer any
rights of subrogation against the other party.

                               ARTICLE 11 - REPAIR

         SECTION 11.1. Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole expense, to maintain
and repair the structural elements of the building on the demised premises
throughout the life of the Lease, including foundations, exterior walls and
structural portions of the roof. Structural repairs and maintenance shall not be
deemed to include minor cracks or fissures in walls or floors, nor the
requirement of painting or caulking.

         SECTION 11.2. Tenant agrees during the demised term or any extension
thereof to maintain the interior of the building on the demised premises, and
every part thereof, except as to work to be performed by Landlord under SECTIONS
11.1. AND 11.3. Tenant further agrees to clean, inside and out, all of the glass
on the exterior of the building. If Tenant should fail to faithfully perform its
maintenance obligations hereunder then Landlord shall, upon having given notice
to Tenant of the need for said maintenance, have the right to perform, or cause
to be performed, said maintenance and Tenant shall on demand reimburse Landlord
for Landlord's costs of providing such maintenance. Landlord's reservation of
the right to enter upon the demised premises to perform any repairs or
maintenance or other work in, to, or about the demised premises which in the
first instance is the Tenant's obligation pursuant to this Lease shall not be
deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord to do so, nor shall Landlord be
rendered liable to

                                       12
<PAGE>


Tenant or any third party for the failure to do so, and Tenant shall not be
relieved from any obligation to indemnify Landlord as otherwise provided
elsewhere in this Lease.

         SECTION 11.3 Landlord shall provide the following services and Tenant
shall, in addition to all other payments required to be made under other
provisions of this Lease, on demand reimburse Landlord for Landlord's gross
costs of: (i) maintaining, repairing and replacing the roof membrane; (ii)
painting, maintaining and repairing the exterior of the building; (iii)
maintaining, repairing and replacing the elevator and elevator equipment room
(if any); (iv) maintenance and repair associated with the mechanical and
electrical rooms; (v) maintenance and repair of the trash enclosure utilized in
connection with the building; (vi) maintenance, repair and replacement of the
glass on the exterior of the building and (vii) any other maintenance and repair
other than that which Landlord is required to perform at Landlord's expense per
SECTION 11.1. Tenant shall also, on demand, reimburse Landlord for Landlord's
gross costs of maintaining, repairing and replacing the heating and air
conditioning equipment serving the demised premises, whether furnished by
Landlord or Tenant. Landlord's said gross costs as used in this SECTION 11.3.
shall include all costs and expenses of every kind or nature incurred by
Landlord in the performance of such maintenance, repair or replacements and
Landlord's determination of the amount of said costs and expenses will be final.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.3. and 18.3 hereof to the
contrary, Tenant's obligation to reimburse Landlord for (i) costs associated
with the replacement (as opposed to repairs and maintenance) of the roof
membrane and underlayment and the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
units furnished by Landlord and (ii) the cost of any capital improvement
required to be made by Landlord pursuant to Article 11 and/or Article 18 of this
Lease during the demised term and required under good accounting practice to be
amortized, shall be limited to a proportionate share of such replacement costs
(the "Reimbursement Amounts") calculated as follows:

                (a) if such costs are incurred during the initial demised term
of this Lease, by multiplying such replacement costs by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days in the original demised term and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the estimated useful life of the
replacement; and

                (b) if Landlord and Tenant agree to extend the term of this
Lease and if such costs are incurred during any such extended term of this
Lease, by multiplying such replacement costs by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the demised term of this Lease (including any
extended term) and the denominator of which is the number of days in the
estimated useful life of the replacement.

                If a Reimbursement Amount has been determined under subsection
(a) above with respect to any replacement costs, and Landlord and Tenant
subsequently agree to extend the term of this Lease, Tenant shall also be
responsible for another Reimbursement Amount with respect to such replacement
costs determined by multiplying such replacement costs by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days in the extended term of this Lease and
the denominator of which is the number of days in the estimated useful life of
the replacement.

                                       13
<PAGE>


         The foregoing limitation shall not apply to equipment furnished by
Tenant and maintained by Landlord. Tenant shall pay any Reimbursement Amounts,
as additional rent, monthly on a straight-line basis amortized over the
remaining demised term of the Lease using an interest rate equal to ten percent
(10%) per annum.

         The limitations on Tenant's liability for expenses hereunder shall in
no event apply to any costs for repairs or replacements occasioned by (x)
Tenant's negligent acts or omissions or those of its employees, contractors,
agents, invitees or servants, or (y) the particular nature of Tenant's business,
all of which costs shall be borne solely by Tenant.

         SECTION 11.4. If during the term of this Lease Landlord or Landlord's
insurance carrier requires the installation of an Ansul Fire Control System or
its equivalent, or any fire detection device, because of the nature of the
particular activities being carried on by Tenant in the demised premises, then
said system or device shall be installed at the sole cost of the Tenant within
the time specified.

                       ARTICLE 12 - FIXTURES & ALTERATIONS

         SECTION 12.1. All trade fixtures owned by Tenant and installed in the
demised premises shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed from
time to time and shall be removed at the expiration of the demised term. Tenant
shall repair any damage to the demised premises caused by the removal of said
fixtures. If Tenant fails to remove such fixtures on or before the last day of
the demised term, all such fixtures shall become the property of Landlord,
unless Landlord elects to require their removal, in which case Tenant shall
promptly remove them and restore the demised premises to its condition prior to
such removal. Landlord may also, at Landlord's sole discretion, store such
fixtures at Tenant's expense.

         SECTION 12.2. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
improvements in or to the demised premises or the building without submitting
plans and specifications therefor for the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as any such
alterations, additions or improvements do not affect the exterior of the
building or materially affect the sprinkler system and/or mechanical/electrical
systems or require removal or modification of improvements installed by
Landlord, and so long as Tenant notifies Landlord of any such alterations and
provides Landlord with plans therefor in advance, and which consent, if granted,
may be subject to such conditions as Landlord may deem appropriate. Tenant shall
be permitted to make cosmetic (such as interior painting) and non-structural
improvements and alterations without Landlord's consent so long as no permits
are required by the City of Menlo Park and such improvements and alterations
will not affect any structural or exterior portions of the building or affect
the building electrical, sprinkler, plumbing or HVAC systems. Any such
alterations, additions or improvements consented to by Landlord shall be made at
Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor and Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with an "as built" set of plans
and specifications after any such work is completed. Tenant shall secure any

                                       14
<PAGE>


and all governmental permits, approvals or authorizations required in connection
with any such work, and shall hold Landlord harmless from any and all liability,
costs, damages, expenses (including attorneys' fees) and any and all liens
resulting therefrom. All alterations, decorations, additions and improvements
(and expressly including all light fixtures and floor coverings installed by
Tenant), except furniture, removable paneling, wall fixtures, trade fixtures,
appliances and equipment which do not become a part of the demised premises,
shall be deemed to belong to Tenant, but shall be deemed to have been attached
to the demised premises or the building and to have become the property of
Landlord upon the termination of the demised term. Upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the demised term hereof, Tenant shall, upon written demand by
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith remove any alterations,
decorations, additions or improvements made by Tenant which were designated by
Landlord to be removed at the time of Landlord's approval of the plans and
specifications therefor, or any alterations, decorations, additions or
improvements made by Tenant without Landlord's consent and designated by
Landlord prior to the termination of the demised term to be removed, and Tenant
shall forthwith at its sole cost and expense repair any damage to the demised
premises or the building caused by such removal.

                              ARTICLE 13 - REMEDIES

         SECTION 13.1. Should Tenant default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease with reference to the payment of rent and such
default continue for five (5) days after the date such payment is due, or should
Tenant default in the performance of any other obligations under this Lease and
such default continue for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
Landlord specifying such default or beyond the time reasonably necessary to cure
if such default is of a nature to require more than thirty (30) days to remedy,
then, in addition to all other rights and remedies Landlord may have under this
Lease or under applicable law, Landlord shall have the following rights and
remedies:

         (1) The Landlord has 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, subject only to reasonable limitations). If Tenant breaches
any covenants of this Lease or if any event of default occurs, whether or not
Tenant abandons the demised premises, this Lease shall continue in effect until
Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession, and Tenant shall remain liable
to perform all of its obligations under this Lease and Landlord may enforce all
of Landlord's rights and remedies, including the right to recover rent as it
falls due. If Tenant abandons the demised premises or fails to maintain and
protect the same as herein provided, Landlord shall have the right to do all
things necessary or appropriate to maintain, preserve and protect the demised
premises, including the installation of guards, and may do all things
appropriate to a re-letting of the demised premises, and none of said acts shall
be deemed to terminate Tenant's right of possession, unless Landlord elects to
terminate the same by written notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord on demand for all amounts reasonably expended by Landlord in
maintaining, preserving and protecting the demised premises, together with
interest on the amounts expended from time to time at


                                       15
<PAGE>

the maximum legal rate. Landlord shall also have the right to repair, remodel
and renovate the demised premises at the expense of Tenant and as deemed
necessary by Landlord.

         (2) Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant's possession of
the demised premises, and if Tenant's right to possession of the demised
premises is terminated by Landlord by reason of a breach of this Lease by
Tenant, or by reason of the happening of an event of default, or by reason of
abandonment of the demised premises by Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
on demand (i) all unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, together with
interest on all unpaid installments from the times they were due to the date of
termination at the maximum legal rate; (ii) the amounts by which the unpaid rent
which would have been due and payable by Tenant since the date of termination
exceeds the amount of any rental loss that Tenant proves could have been
avoided, together with interest on said amounts from the dates they were due at
the maximum legal rate; (iii) the worth at the time of demand of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease exceeds the
amount of rental loss that Tenant proves may reasonably be avoided, together
with interest on such amount at the maximum legal rate from the date of demand
until paid; (iv) all other amounts due Landlord from Tenant under the terms of
this Lease, or necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by
Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. The right to
possession of the demised premises by Tenant should not be deemed terminated
until Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such termination or until Landlord
re-lets all or a portion of the demised premises. In the event that Landlord
seeks to recover the amount due, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the
amounts specified in paragraphs (a) (1), (a) (2) and (a) (4) of Section 1951.2
of the Civil Code of California as such section reads at the date of this Lease,
together with interest on said amounts at the maximum legal rate from the dates
they were due, computed as of the date of the award, together with the worth at
the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of
the term exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could
reasonably have been avoided. Landlord shall be required to mitigate damages by
making a good faith effort to re-let the demised premises.

         (3) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law, provided
that each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy
given herein or now hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

         SECTION 13.2. Landlord shall in no event be in default in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall
have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days or such
additional times as is reasonably required to correct any such default after
notice by Tenant to the Landlord properly specifying wherein the Landlord has
failed to perform any such obligation.

                             ARTICLE 14 - BANKRUPTCY

         SECTION 14.1. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of its
intention to commence proceedings under any state or federal insolvency or
bankruptcy law, or any

                                       16
<PAGE>


comparable law that is now or hereafter may be in effect, whereby Tenant seeks
to be, or would be, discharged of its debts or the payment of its debts is
sought to be delayed, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of
such proceedings.

         SECTION 14.2.     If any of the following events occur:
         -------------

         (1) The entry of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United
States Code as to Tenant or its executors, administrators or assigns, if any, or
the adjudication of Tenant or its executors, administrators or assigns, if any,
as insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any state insolvency or
bankruptcy act;

         (2) The appointment of a receiver, trustee or other custodian of the
property of Tenant by reason of the insolvency or inability of Tenant to pay its
debts;

         (3) The assignment of the property of Tenant for the benefit of
creditors;

         (4) The commencement of any proceedings under any state or federal
insolvency or bankruptcy law, or any comparable law that is now or hereafter may
be in effect, whereby Tenant seeks to be, or would be, discharged of its debts
or the payment of its debts is sought to be delayed;

         (5) The failure of Tenant to give written notice to Landlord provided
for in SECTION 14.1. above;

         then Landlord may, at any time thereafter, in addition to any and all
other rights or remedies of Landlord under this Lease or under applicable law,
upon written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, and upon such notice this
Lease shall cease and terminate with the same force and effect as though the
date set forth in said notice were the date originally set forth herein and
fixed for the expiration of the demised term. Tenant shall thereupon vacate and
surrender the demised premises, but shall remain liable as herein provided.

                       ARTICLE 15 - SURRENDER OF PREMISES

         SECTION 15.1. Tenant shall, upon termination of the demised term, or
any earlier termination of this Lease, surrender to Landlord the demised
premises, including, without limitation, all building equipment and apparatus,
and fixtures (except as provided in SECTIONS 12.1. AND 12.2.) then upon the
demised premises without any damage, injury, or disturbance thereto, or payment
therefor, except damages due to ordinary wear and tear, acts of God, fire and
other perils to the extent the demised premises are not required to be repaired
or restored as hereinbefore provided, and Tenant shall dispose of any hazardous
materials stored, dispensed, handled or used by Tenant or its employees, agents,
invitees, or contractors in, at or upon the demised premises in accordance with
the provisions of SECTION 7.4.

<PAGE>

                           ARTICLE 16 - EMINENT DOMAIN

         SECTION 16.1. If more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the floor area
of the building on the demised premises shall be taken under the power of
eminent domain and the portion not so taken will not be reasonably adequate for
the operation of Tenant's business after the Landlord completes such repairs or
alterations as the Landlord is obligated or elects to make, Tenant shall have
the right to elect either to terminate this Lease, or, subject to Landlord's
right to terminate the Lease pursuant to SECTION 16.4., to continue in
possession of the remainder of the demised premises and shall notify Landlord in
writing within ten (10) days after such taking of Tenant's election. In the
event less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the floor area of the building on
the demised premises shall be taken or Tenant elects to remain in possession, as
provided in the first sentence hereof, all of the terms herein provided shall
continue in effect, except that the base rent shall be reduced in the same
proportion that the floor area of the building on the demised premises taken
bears to the original floor area of the building on the demised premises, and
Landlord shall at its own cost and expense make all necessary repairs or
alterations to the building so as to constitute the portion of the building not
taken a complete architectural unit and the demised premises a complete unit for
the purposes allowed by this Lease, but such work shall not exceed the scope of
the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing said building.

         SECTION 16.2. Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the Superior Court
to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking.

         SECTION 16.3. All damages or awards for any taking under the power of
eminent domain whether for the whole or a part of the demised premises shall
belong to and be the property of Landlord whether such damages or awards shall
be awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the
fee of the demised premises; provided however, that Landlord shall not be
entitled to the award made to Tenant or Landlord for loss of business,
depreciation to, and cost or removal of stock and fixtures and for leasehold
improvements which have been installed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense
less depreciation which is to be computed on the basis of completely
depreciating such leasehold improvements during the initial term of this Lease,
and any award made to Tenant in excess of the then depreciated value of
leasehold improvements shall be payable to the Landlord.

         SECTION 16.4. If more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the floor
areas of the building on the demised premises shall be taken under power of
eminent domain, or if any part of the Parking and Accommodation Areas shall be
so taken, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant delivered on or before the
date of surrendering possession to the public authority pursuant to such taking,
terminate this Lease as of such date.

         SECTION 16.5. If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article,
the rent shall be paid up to the day that possession is so taken by public

                        ARTICLE 17 - REAL PROPERTY TAXES

         SECTION 17.1. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all real property
taxes, assessments and ongoing sewer fees applicable to the demised premises.
Taxes shall be prorated to lease years for purpose of making this computation.
Such payment shall be made by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord's written statement setting forth the amount of such computation
thereof. If the demised term of this Lease shall not expire concurrently with
the expiration date of the fiscal tax year, Tenant's liability for taxes for the
last partial lease year shall be prorated on an annual basis.

         SECTION 17.2. If the demised premises are not separately assessed,
Tenant's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Landlord from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Landlord's reasonable determination thereof, in good
faith, shall be conclusive.

         SECTION 17.3. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Tenant contained in the demised premises or elsewhere.
Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Landlord.

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

         SECTION 17.4. In addition to all other payments provided for herein,
the Tenant shall on demand reimburse Landlord for any surcharges, fees, and any
similar charges required to be paid by any instrumentality of local, state or
federal government in connection with parking in the parking area, including
policing; supervising with attendants; other costs in connection with providing
charged parking; repairs, replacements and maintenance not properly chargeable
to capital account under good accounting principles; interest and depreciation
of the actual cost of modification or improvements to the areas, facilities and
improvements maintained in this Article either (i) required by any
instrumentality of local, state or federal government, or (ii) installed by
Landlord on account of governmental requirements to facilitate payment of a
parking charge by the general public for parking in the parking area, or both,
and other similar costs; and there shall be excluded (a) cost of construction of
such improvements which is properly chargeable to capital account and (b)
depreciation of the original cost of construction of all items not previously
mentioned in this sentence. If Landlord, on account of governmental
requirements, shall require the payment of a parking charge by the general
public for parking in the parking area, then during any period in which such a
charge is made the total revenue (after deducting excise and similar taxes
thereon and taxes, fees or surcharges imposed by any agency or instrumentality
of local, state or federal government) actually received in cash or its
equivalent by Landlord for such parking charge shall be credited against said
gross costs.

         SECTION 17.5. Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE 17 hereinabove,
Tenant shall pay any increase in "real property taxes" resulting from any and
all improvements of any kind whatsoever placed on or in the demised premises for
the benefit of or at the request of Tenant regardless of whether said
improvements were installed or constructed either by Landlord or Tenant.

         SECTION 17.6. In addition to all other payments provided for herein,
the Tenant shall on demand reimburse Landlord for any tax (excluding income tax)
and/or business license fee or other levy that may be levied, assessed or
imposed upon the rent or other payments provided for herein or on the square
footage of the demised premises, on the act of entering into this Lease, or on
the occupancy of the Tenant however described, as a direct substitution in whole
or in part for, or in addition to, any real property taxes, whether pursuant to
laws presently existing or enacted in the future.

                  ARTICLE 18 - PARKING AND ACCOMMODATION AREAS

         SECTION 18.1. Landlord grants to Tenant during the demised term the
non-exclusive right to use the parking facilities and other areas provided and
designated as "Parking and Accommodation Areas" on EXHIBIT "B" hereto for the
accommodation and parking of such automobiles of the Tenant, its officers,
agents, employees and its customers while working or visiting Tenant. Tenant
agrees that its officers, agents and employees will park their automobiles only
in the parking areas provided in the Parking and Accommodation Areas, and Tenant
specifically agrees that such officers, agents and employees will not park on
any public streets in the vicinity of the demised premises. Except as provided
in SECTION 17.4., Landlord shall not charge parking fees for such right to use
parking facilities.

         SECTION 18.2. All parking areas and facilities furnished by Landlord
including, but not limited to, pedestrian sidewalks, landscaped areas and
parking areas shall at all times be subject to the control and management of
Landlord so that Landlord will be in a position to make available efficient and
convenient use thereof, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to
establish, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect to
all facilities and areas mentioned in this Article, and Tenant agrees to abide
by and conform therewith. Landlord shall have the right to construct, maintain
and operate lighting facilities on all of said areas and improvements, to police
the same, from time to time to change the area, location and arrangement of
parking areas and facilities, to restrict employee parking to employee parking
areas, to construct surface, subterranean and/or elevated parking areas and
facilities, to establish and from time to time change the level of parking
surfaces, to close (if necessary) all or any portion of said areas or facilities
to such extent as may in the opinion of Landlord's counsel be legally sufficient
to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any rights of any person or of
the public therein, and to do and perform such other acts in and to said areas
and improvements respectively as in the use of good business judgment the
Landlord shall determine to be advisable with a view to the improvement of the
convenience and use thereof by Tenant, other lessees, and their respective
employees and visitors.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not
(unless necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements) make any changes
to the Parking and Accommodation Areas that will have a material adverse effect
on access to and from the demised premises. Landlord shall keep the Parking and
Accommodation Areas in good condition.

         SECTION 18.3. Tenant agrees during the demised term to pay to Landlord
an annual charge which shall be Landlord's actual gross costs of operating,
maintaining and/or replacing all of the areas and facilities mentioned in this
Article. The annual charge shall be an estimate computed on the basis of periods
of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, commencing and ending on such dates
as may be designated by Landlord, and shall be paid in monthly installments on
the first day of each calendar month in the amount estimated by Landlord. Within
ninety (90) days after the end of each such annual period, Landlord will
determine (and furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail) the
actual annual charge for such period and the amounts so estimated and paid
during such period shall be adjusted within such ninety (90) days (including
adjustments on a prorata basis of any partial such period at either end of the
demised term) and one party shall pay to the other on demand whatever amount is
necessary to effectuate such adjustment.

         Landlord's said gross costs shall consist of and include all costs and
expenses of every kind or nature incurred by Landlord in the operation,
maintenance and/or replacement of all of the areas, facilities and improvements
mentioned in this Article determined in accordance with good accounting practice
by an accountant employed by Landlord. The determination of such accountant
shall be conclusive. Without otherwise limiting the generality of the foregoing,
there shall be included in such gross costs public liability and property damage
insurance, landscape maintenance, maintenance of utilities, water, cleaning of
areas, facilities and improvements, operation of lighting, common area taxes and
assessments determined in the same manner as taxes and assessments on the
demised premises, policing and sweeping of parking areas, supervising with
attendants, repairs, replacements and maintenance, and an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the total of all of the above for administration of the Parking
and Accommodation Areas.

         Tenant shall have the right once annually to inspect the books and
records of Landlord with respect to the operating and other costs referred to in
this Section 18.3. Such inspections shall be completed in Landlord's offices
within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of Landlord's annual report
for said year setting forth such costs and shall be performed by a certified
public accountant, and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall
give Landlord no less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice of its
intent to inspect.

same, (ii) for any purpose connected with Landlord's rights or obligations under
this Lease and, (iii) for all other lawful purposes.

         SECTION 19.2. Tenant shall not be entitled to make repairs at
Landlord's expense, and Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1941
and 1942 with respect to Landlord's obligations for tenantability of the demised

repairs from rent.

         SECTION 19.3. This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the
provisions hereof and by the laws of the State of California as the same from
time to time exist. This Lease expresses the entire understanding and all
agreements of the parties hereto with each other and neither party hereto has
made or shall be bound by any agreement or any representation to the other party
which is not expressly set forth in this Lease.

         SECTION 19.4. If Tenant should hold over after the demised term and any
extension thereof as herein provided for, then such holding over shall be

facilities within the demised premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition.

         SECTION 19.6. Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, subject to the
terms and provisions of this Lease, on paying the rent and observing, keeping
and performing all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on its part to be
observed, kept and performed, shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly have, hold,

specified in SECTION 2.4.(B) hereof as a "Security Deposit". The Security
Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance of
all the terms of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. The Security
Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant
without the written consent of Landlord and any such act on the part of Tenant
shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

         B. If any of the rents herein reserved or any other sum payable by
Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid, or should Landlord make payments
on behalf of Tenant, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms of this
Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other
remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, apply the entire Security
Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate Landlord toward

subsequent transferees.

instrument elects to have the Tenant's interest in this Lease superior to any
such instrument by notice to Tenant, then this Lease should be deemed superior
to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or security indenture whether
this Lease was executed before or after said mortgage, deed of trust and/or
security indenture. Tenant shall not be required to subordinate its interest
under this Lease to any other party unless Tenant receives a binding agreement
from such party confirming that Tenant's rights to use and occupy the demised
premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default after any
applicable cure or grace periods.

         SECTION 19.18. Landlord reserves the right during the last six months
