its sole cost to remove any of the alterations, repairs, additions or
improvements installed by or for Tenant and repair any damage to the Premises
occasioned by such installation or removal and restore the Premises to original
condition, normal wear and tear excepted.  At the expiration of the term of this lease and provided that Tenant is
not in default hereunder, all Tenants free-standing personal property not
attached to the demised premises may be removed by Tenant, at Tenants sole
expense, provided, however, Tenant shall pay for any damages caused to the
demised premises by the removal of said items, so that after the removal of
said items, the demised premises will be in the same condition as at the time
prior to the said installations, if any, reasonable wear and tear
excepted.  In any event, at the sole option of Landlord, Tenant at its
expense, must remove said items and repair any damage to the premises
occasioned by said installation and/or removal and restore the premises to
original condition.  If Tenant shall fail to complete such removal or
restoration and repair such damage, Landlord may do so and charge the
reasonable cost thereof to Tenant which sum shall be deemed additional rent
hereunder and shall be due and payable from Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days
after Landlord has rendered to Tenant a written statement therefor.  Any
improvements, equipment or personal property not removed by Tenant from the
premises upon the end of the term shall be conclusively presumed to have been
abandoned by tenant, and the cost of removal, storage and/or sale of same shall
be deemed additional rent hereunder, payable from Tenant to Landlord in the
same manner as provided above with respect to restoration charges.  Any
tenant improvements for which an allowance is given by Landlord to Tenant and
all carpeting and/or window coverings installed in the premises shall become
part of the realty and become the property of Landlord and remain in the
demised premises upon expiration or sooner termination of the lease or Tenants
vacating or abandonment of the demised premises.  The provisions of Articles 28 and 39 are incorporated
herein by this reference as if set forth in full.  8.  ETHICS.  If Tenant is a member of any
profession, he agrees to abide by the Code of Ethics of the association
recognized as representing that particular profession in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California.  3


9.  UTILITIES.  Landlord agrees to supply for
standard desk-furnished business offices, during the usual building business
hours on business days, reasonable amounts of domestic water for drinking
purposes, heat, air-conditioning, and electric current for lighting purposes
and power for a reasonable number of fractional horsepower office machines,
together with Landlords standard janitorial services five times each week,
Saturdays, Sundays and recognized legal holidays excepted.  Landlord shall
not supply any janitorial services or cleaning for any plumbing fixtures
located in the demised premises.  Tenant shall have the obligation and
responsibility for cleaning and maintaining any such plumbing fixtures.  Landlord shall provided the same services, maintenance
and repairs for the demised premises at Landlords cost as Landlord provides to
the other office space tenants  in the building (as distinguished from
ground-floor tenants).  Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any
office equipment in the premises using current in excess of 110 volts, or which
will in anyway generate heat or increase the amount of electricity, water or
air-conditioning usually furnished or supplied for use of the premises as
general office space; nor connect any apparatus or device for the purposes of
using electric current except through existing electrical outlets or for the
use of water except with existing water pipes in the premises.  If Tenant
requires water or electric current in excess of that usually furnished or
supplied for use of the premises as general office space, Tenant shall first
procure the consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse, to the use thereof
and Landlord may cause a water meter or electric current meter to be installed
in the premises, to measure the amount of water and electric current consumed
for any such other use.  The cost of any such meters and of installation,
maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by Tenant and Tenant agrees to
pay Landlord promptly upon demand therefor by Landlord for all such water and
electric current consumed as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for
such services by the City of Los Angeles or the local public utility, as the
case may be, for furnishing the same, plus any additional expense incurred in
keeping account of the water and electric current so consumed.  In the event Tenant utilizes of consumes utilities or services after
usual building business hours or in amounts which are appreciably in excess of
those utilized or consumed by the average office tenants in the building. 
Tenant shall reimburse landlord, as additional rent, upon receipt of demand
therefor, the cost of such excess consumption.  In the event Tenant
utilizes heating, air conditioning or fan service after normal building
business hours, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its then current building
standard rate for such services.   As of the date of execution of
this Lease, Landlords current building standard rates for these services are:
for heat or air conditioning  $175.00 per hour; for fan service  $75.00 per
hour.  Landlord agrees to supply, for any storage areas leased hereunder,
during usual building business hours on business days, reasonable amounts of
electric current for lighting purposes only.  Landlord shall have no
obligation to supply to storage areas, water, heat, air-conditioning or
electric current for any purposes other than lighting.  The normal building business hours are from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.,
Monday through Friday, recognized legal holidays excepted.  At any time
during the term of this lease, normal building business hours for the
furnishing of any utilities or services to the Building may be curtailed by
Landlord without abatement of rent, due to any Energy or Natural Resource Conservation
Act now or hereinafter enacted or the directive of any Energy or Natural
Resource Agency or any other similar or dissimilar statute or directive of any
federal, state or other governmental, or quasi-governmental agency, or public
utility, or any other entity vested with the power to regulate utilities or
services.  10.  NOTICES.  All notices to be given hereunder by
Landlord to Tenant shall be in writing and may be served either personally or
by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, either by
ordinary, registered or certified mail, and addressed to Tenant at 400 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210, with a copy
addressed to the attention of the Senior Vice-President  Corporate Premises,
at the same address.  Said notice shall be deemed effective
upon deposit in any public depository of the United States mail.  If there
be more than one tenant, then notice to any of them shall constitute notice to
all and notice from any of them shall constitute notice from all.  If
Tenant be a corporation, then such service upon any employee shall constitute
service upon the corporation and in this regard Tenant specifically waives any
rights as to methods of service as set out in Sections 1161 and 1162 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.  Tenant hereby waives all other
methods of notice prescribed by the Codes of California.  Any notice desired to be served on Landlord by Tenant must be sent by
prepaid United States registered or certified mail to Landlord at 9100 Wilshire
Boulevard, Suite 404, Beverly Hills, California 90212, or at such other
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.  11.  INSURANCE.  Tenant shall at its sole expense,
procure and maintain comprehensive public liability insurance naming Landlord
as an additional insured for the demised premises during the term of this lease
in minimum amounts of $1,000,000.00 combined single limit.  Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with evidence of such insurance, in a form satisfactory to
Landlord, which shall provide that the coverage shall not be canceled or
reduced without ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.  The parties to this lease shall each procure an
appropriate clause in, or an endorsement on, any policy of fire or extended
coverage insurance covering the premises and the building of which the premises
are a part, and the improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment located in
or on the premises, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation
or consent to a waiver of right of recovery, and having obtained such clauses
or endorsements of waiver or subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of
recovery, each party hereby agrees that it shall not make any claim against or
seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property, or the
property of others, including consequential loss or damage resulting from fire
or other hazards covered by such fire and extended coverage insurance including
negligent acts.  12.  RIGHTS OF LANDLORD.  Landlord reserves the following
rights: (a) upon prior notice to Tenant, to change the address and/or name
of the building without liability to Tenant; (b) to designate all sources
furnishing sign painting or lettering, ice, bottled water and toilet supplies
used on the premises; (c) constantly to have pass keys to the premises; (d) to
grant anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular business or
undertaking in the building in which the demised premises are situated; (e) to
enter the demised premises at anytime whether or not Tenant is present to admit
Landlord for inspections, repairs, alterations or additions to the premises or
the building in which the premises are situated for window cleaning and
janitorial services, to exhibit the premises to others, to affix and display For
Rent signs, and for any purpose whatsoever related to the safety, protection,
preservation or improvement of the premises, the said building or Landlords
interest, without being deemed guilty of an eviction or disturbance of Tenants
use and possession, and without being liable in any manner to Tenant on account
thereof; (f) at any time, and from time to time, whether at the instance
of Landlord or pursuant to governmental requirements, at Landlords expense, to
make repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or decorating, whether
structural or otherwise, in or to the building or any part thereof, including
the demised premises.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
rights, Landlord shall specifically have the right to remove, alter, improve or
rebuild the lobby and all other public and rentable areas of the building as
the same are presently or shall hereafter be constituted, or any part or parts
thereof.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any expense, injury,
loss or damage resulting from any work so done in or about the demised premises
or the building or any adjacent or nearby buildings, land, street or alley, all
claims against the Landlord for any and all such liability being hereby
expressly released by Tenant, unless caused by Landlords or its agents
negligence or willful misconduct.  In connection with making repairs,
alterations, decorating, additions or improvements under the terms of this
Article, Landlord shall have the right to access through the demised premises,
as well as the right to take into and upon and through said premises or any
other part of the building all material that may be required to make such
repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or improvements, as well as the
right in the course of such work to close entrances, doors, corridors,
elevators, or other building facilities, or temporarily to abate the operation
of such facilities, without being deemed or held guilty of an eviction of
Tenant and without liability for damages to  4


Tenants
property, business or person and without liability to Tenant by reason of
interference with the business of Tenant or inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or the customers of Tenant.  The rent reserved herein shall in no
way abate while said repairs, alterations, decorating, additions or improvement
are being made, and Tenant shall not be entitled to maintain any set-off or
counter-claim for damages of any kind against Landlord by reason thereof, all
such claims being hereby expressly released by Tenant.  However, all such
work shall be done in such manner as to cause Tenant the least inconvenience
practicable. Landlord reserves and shall have the right to enter upon the
demised premises for the purpose of posting and maintaining such notices on the
premises as may be necessary to protect Landlord against mechanics,
materialmens or other liens and any other notices that may be proper and
necessary.  13.  DESTRUCTION-FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE.  If said building
shall be totally destroyed, this lease shall thereupon terminate.  If said
building or demised premises shall be damaged by fire, earthquake, or any other
cause without fault or neglect of Tenant, so that the leased premises become
untenantable, then, if the leased premises cannot be made tenantable within one
hundred twenty (120) working days from the date of such damage, this lease may
be terminated by Landlord in the event the leased premises cannot be made
tenantable within one hundred eighty (180) days, this lease may be terminated
by either party.  In any case where the leased premises are rendered
partially and permanently untenantable by fire, earthquake, or other cause
without the fault or neglect of Tenant, the monthly rental shall be adjusted in
the proportion that the rental value of the untenantable portion of the demised
premises bears to the rental value of the whole thereof.  In any case,
where the leased premises are rendered partially but only temporarily
untenantable by the aforementioned causes, there shall be no abatement of
rental.  14.  RIGHT OF REPOSSESSION.  If, in compliance with any
law, or ordinance now or hereafter enacted, or if required to comply with the
directions or requirements of any public officer, board or commission, it
becomes necessary for Landlord to acquire permanently all or any portion of the
demised premises, Landlord or its assigns shall have the right to repossess the
demised premises, or any portion thereof, at any time upon thirty days written
notice to Tenant, and when said space shall have been so permanently
repossessed, Landlord shall, in lieu of any and all claims for damages, allow
Tenant a credit on Tenants rent in the proportion that the rental value of the
space taken bears to the rental value of the whole of the demised premises;
provided, however, that if the space taken is of  such an amount or size
as to make the remaining space unusable to Tenant, then Landlord, upon thirty
(30) days written notice from Tenant, will endeavor, if available, to furnish
Tenant with comparable space elsewhere in the building and to place Tenant in
such new space, and this lease and each and all of the terms, covenants and
conditions thereof shall thereupon remain in full force and effect and be
deemed applicable to such new space; provided, however, that if Landlord shall
be unable to provide Tenant with such other space, then this lease shall
thereupon cease and terminate.  No exercise by Landlord of any right
herein reserved shall entitle Tenant to damages for any injury or inconvenience
occasioned thereby, nor shall Tenant by reason thereof be entitled to any
abatement in rent (except as above set forth in case of taking of space
permanently.)  15.  EMINENT DOMAIN.  Should Landlord, at any time
during the continuance in force of this lease, be deprived of the building in
which the demised premises are situated, or any part thereof, or any part of
the land on which the building or appurtenances are situated, by condemnation
or eminent domain proceedings, this lease shall terminate, at Landlords
option, on the date when Landlord is actually deprived of possession of said
land or building, or some part thereof, and thereupon the parties hereto shall
be released from all further obligations hereunder.  Should Tenant, at any
time during the continuance in force of this lease, be deprived of the demised
premises or any substantial part thereof preventing Tenant from using the
remainder of the Premises for the purposes intended under this Lease, by
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, this lease shall terminate, at
Tenants option, on the date when Tenant is actually deprived of possession of
the Premises, or said substantial part thereof, and thereupon the parties
hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder.  Upon the
termination of this Lease as aforesaid, Landlord shall thereupon repay to
Tenant any rental theretofore paid by Tenant and unearned at the date of such
termination.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, allowance,
claim or offset of any kind against the Landlord, as damages or otherwise, by
reason of such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings or by reason of being
deprived of the demised premises or the termination of this lease, and said
Tenant does hereby waive, renounce and quit-claim to Landlord any right in any
to any award, judgment, payment or compensation which shall or may be made or
given because of the taking of said premises, or any portion thereof, by virtue
of any such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, whether received in any
such action or in settlement or compromise thereof by Landlord, except that
Tenant shall have the right to file a separate claim to recover the value of
its personal property in the eminent domain proceedings.  16.  USE OF BUILDING.  Tenant shall not be allowed to
use the name of the building in which the demised premises are located or words
to that effect, in connection with any business carried on in said premises
(except as Tenants address) without written consent of Landlord.  Tenant
shall not engage in any advertising whatsoever, which in any way shall
adversely affect the character of the building of which the demised premises
are a part.  Tenant further covenants
and agrees not to suffer or permit said premises, or any part thereof to be
used in any manner that will injure to impair the structural strength of said
building, and not to suffer or permit to be installed in said premises, any
machinery or apparatus, the weight of vibration of which will tend to injure or
impair the structural strength of said building.  17.  SUCCESSORS.  Subject to the aforementioned
restrictions on assignment of this lease on the part of Tenant, the words Landlord
and Tenant as used herein include, apply to, and bind and benefit the heirs,
executors, administrators, assigns and successors of Landlord and Tenant. 
In the event of any change of name, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with a
change of business or corporate name with appropriate supporting documentation.  18.  CO-TENANTS. All persons comprising Tenant, together with
all assignees and Subtenants, should Landlord elect to treat said assignees and
Subtenants as Tenants, are to be held and hereby agree to be held jointly and
severally responsible for the payment of rent and the faithful performance of
all the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease.  Landlord shall
have the right to proceed against any person liable under this lease without
the necessity of first proceeding against any other person and without first
pursuing any other remedy.  Payment or refund by Landlord to any person
who is one of the Tenants hereunder of any sums, including but not limited to
the security deposit due under this lease, shall constitute payment or refuse
to any persons comprising Tenant.  19.  NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.  Except in the event of
Landlords negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not liable to
Tenant, or to any other person or persons whomsoever, and Tenant hereby waives
any and all claims for any damages to the leased premises or for or on account
of any loss, damage, theft, injury to any person or property in or about said
premises, or the building of which the demised premises are a part, or the
approaches  5


or
entrances thereto, or on the streets, [ILLEGIBLE], parking areas or corridors
thereof, caused or occasioned by said premises being out of repair, by defects
in said building or said premises or equipment contained therein, including but
not limited to, any security system located in or about the demised premises
whether or not installed by Landlord, or by the failure to keep the same in
good order and  repair, or by fire, gas, water, electricity, failure or
malfunction of the air-conditioning, or by the breaking, overflowing or leaking
of roofs, pipes, or walls of said building, or for any other damage or injury
caused by any acts or events whatsoever beyond the control of landlord,
including, but not limited to, the acts and omissions of other Tenants and
invitees of the building.  Landlord shall not be liable and Tenant hereby
waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord in re-entering and
taking possession of the premises as herein provided.  20.  INCREASE OF TAXES AND OPERATING COSTS. Tenant shall pay
all taxes assessed during the term of this lease against Tenants personal
property and trade fixtures and against tenant improvements which exceed the
building standard tenant improvements whether installed by Landlord or by
Tenant, or in Tenants possession in, upon or about the demised premises. 
Tenant shall also pay gross receipts tax or any excise or other taxes or
licenses on or measured by or allocable to the rent payable hereunder (whether
charged to Landlord or to Tenant, or to either or both of them, and whether or
not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto).  In
the event any such taxes or licenses shall be or have been imposed against the
Landlord or the real property of which the demised premises forms a part, then
the amount of such taxes shall be paid by Tenant, as additional rent upon
demand for payment by Landlord.  Said sum shall be payable in advance in
equal monthly installments based upon Landlords estimate of the total amount
due.  Said estimated monthly payments shall be adjusted annually to the
actual tax or license due by payment by Tenant or credit by Landlord of any
difference.  If, (a) in any property tax fiscal year during the term of this
lease Taxes shall be increased above the Taxes for the base fiscal year, and/or
(b) if in any calendar year during term of this lease Operating Costs
shall be increased above those in effect during the base year, both as
hereinafter defined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon receipt of a statement
therefor and in the manner hereinafter set forth, as additional rent, 24.82% of the amount of such increase in
Taxes and 24.82% of the amount of
increase in Operating Costs.  A.  Definitions.  (1) Taxes
shall mean taxes and assessments upon or with respect to the building of which
the demises premises forms a part, ancillary parking facilities servicing the
building, and land upon which they are located including but not limited to
drive-ways, landscaped areas and courtyard entrance areas (in this Article collectively
referred to as the land and/or improvements), imposed by Federal, State or
local governments.  If, because of any change in the method of taxation of
real estate, any tax or assessment is imposed upon Landlord or upon the owner
of the land and/or improvements, or upon or with respect to the land and/or
improvements or the rents or income therefrom, in substitution of or in lieu of
any tax or assessment which would otherwise be a real estate tax, such other
tax or assessment shall be deemed to be a real estate tax.  In case there
shall be a reduction of the assessed valuation on the land and/or improvements
for any fiscal year which affects the taxes in any year for which a rent
adjustment shall have been made, the rent adjustment shall be recalculated on
the basis of the revised assessed valuation and Landlord will credit against
the rent next becoming due from Tenant such sums as may be due to Tenant by
reason of the recalculation, less the expenses and costs incurred in effecting
such reduction, including but not limited to attorneys fees, Property Tax
Consultants fee, and other professional fees provided that such rent adjustment
shall not reduce the rent payable hereunder below the basic monthly rent
payable as set forth in Article 2 of this lease.  During the first five (5) years of the Lease
Term, Taxes shall not include any increase in property taxes resulting from
any transfer or conveyance of the realty of which the demised premises forms a
part or from any transfer or conveyance of any ownership interest in any entity
owning said realty or any part thereof. During the last five (5) years of
the lease Term, Taxes shall include any property taxes resulting
from any transfer or conveyance of the realty of which the demised premises
forms a part or from any transfer or conveyance of any ownership interest in
any entity owning said realty or any part thereof, even if said transfer or conveyance occurs during the first five (5) years
of the Lease Term. (2) Operating Costs shall mean (a) wage
and labor costs applicable to persons engaged in the management, operations,
maintenance, overhaul, improvement or repair of the land and/or
improvements, whether said persons be employed by Landlord or by an independent
contractor, with whom Landlord shall have contracted or may contract for such
services.  It is hereby understood that any increase or decrease in the
hours of employment or the number of paid holidays, or vacation days, social
security taxes, unemployment insurance taxes and the costs, if any, of providing
disability, hospitalization, medical welfare, pension, retirement or other
employee benefits imposed by law or by any collective bargaining agreement, or
any voluntary employee benefit plans, applicable with respect to such
employees, shall correspondingly affect the wage and labor costs; and (b) cost
of utilities, fuel, supplies, all insurance, service contracts, improvements
(excluding the interior of tenant spaces) of or on the land and/or
improvements, amortized over the useful life of such improvements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles; and (c) such other items as
are customarily included in the cost of managing (including but not limited to
management fees), operating (including but not limited to ground rent),
maintaining (including but not limited to cleaning and janitorial services),
overhauling, improving and repairing the land and/or improvements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting or management principles or practices.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of Operating
Costs, Operating Costs shall not include the following:  (i)  Any ground lease rental (but rental and other access
fees on the access tunnel to the Pershing Square Garage are included in
operating costs);  (ii)  Capital expenditures required by Landlords failure to
comply with laws enacted on or before the date the Buildings Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy is validly issued;  (iii)  Costs incurred by Landlord with respect to goods and
services (including utilities sold and supplied to tenants and occupants of the
Building) to the extent that Landlord is entitled to reimbursement for such
costs;  (iv)  Costs incurred by Landlord for the repair of damage to
the Building to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds;  (v)  Costs, including permit, license and inspection costs,
incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements made for new

decorating, painting or redecorating vacant suites for tenants or other
occupants of the Building;  (vi)  Depreciation and amortization (except as otherwise
provided herein to be includable in operating expenses);  (vii)  Leasing commissions, attorneys fees, and other costs
and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present
or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building;  (viii)  Wages incurred in connection with the operation of
the parking structure;  (ix)  Costs of a capital nature, including without
limitation, costs incurred by Landlord for alterations which are considered
capital improvements, (but capital repairs and capital replacements, and
capital equipment and capital tools purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to
supply services Landlord might otherwise contract for with a third party, shall
be included in operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied);  (x)  Expenses in connection with services or other benefits
which are not provided to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly or
which are selectively provided to another tenant or occupant of the Building;  (xi)  Interest, points and fees on debt or amortization on
any mortgage or mortgages encumbering the Building or the land on which the

costs:  Federal and State income taxes imposed on Landlords net income
and any and all costs of any expenses to procure tenants for the building,
including but not limited to brokerage commissions, legal fees, and remodeling
costs of suites. (3) Base Year shall mean (a) for computation of
Tax increases, the fiscal tax year ended June 30th, 1997, and (b) for computation of
Operating Cost increases, the calendar year 1997.
(4) Subsequent Year shall mean each and every tax or calendar year, as
the case may be, following the base year failing wholly or party within the
term of this lease.  B.  Statements for TENANT.  On or
about the 1st day of April, in each and every Subsequent Year, and within
ninety (90) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of
this lease, Landlord will furnish to Tenant a comparative statement which shall
show a comparison of all pertinent costs, either actual or estimated, and
information applicable to the Taxes in the Base Year and in the current tax
year and applicable in Operating Costs in the Base Year and in the calendar
year preceding the year in which the comparative statement is submitted, and
the amount, if any, of the increased in Taxes and Operating Costs and the
amount thereof to be paid by Tenant.  In the event that the Building is
not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any Base Year or
Subsequent Year, then the costs for such year, either actual or estimated,
shall be adjusted and increased to reflect what expenses would have been, had
such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) during such entire year. 
The failure of Landlord to furnish a comparative statement for any year in
accordance with this Paragraph B shall be without prejudice to the right of
Landlord to furnish comparative statements in subsequent years.  In the
event that Landlord shall, for any reason, be unable to furnish a comparative
statement on or about April 1st of any year, or within ninety (90) days
after the expiration or earlier termination of this lease, Landlord may furnish
such statement as soon thereafter as practicable, with the same force and
effect as a comparative statement would have had, if delivered as aforesaid.  C.  Payment of Increase in Rent.  (1) The
payment of any additional rent on account of Taxes and Operating Cost increase,
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20 shall be made as
follows:  On the first day of the month following the furnishing of a
comparative statement, Tenant shall pay to landlord as additional rent (a) a
sum equal to 1/12th of Tenants share of tax increase multiplied by the number
of months then elapsed from the date commencing with the 1st day of the current
fiscal tax year up to the date of the comparative statement (less and payments
made in advance under the last previous comparative statement submitted, if
any) plus (b) a sum equal to 1/12th of Tenants share of Operating Costs
increase multiplied by the number of months then elapsed from the date
commencing with the first day of the preceding calendar year up to the date of
the comparative statement (less any payments made in advance under the last
previous comparative statement submitted, if any), plus (c) in advance,
1/12th of such share of both Tax and Operating Cost increases with respect to
the then current month, and each month thereafter as additional rent until a
different comparative statement shall be submitted as above provided. (2) When
the next comparative statement is submitted by Landlord to Tenant, in the event
than such comparative statement shall show an increase in Taxes and/or
Operating Costs which shall be different from the increase paid or which was to
be paid in advance under the last previous comparative statement, then the
additional rent that had been or was to be paid in advance on account of Taxes
and Operating Cost increases, shall be increased or decreased accordingly. (3) The
additional rent due to Landlord or any credit due to Tenant, as disclosed by
the comparative statement furnished Tenant, shall be paid or credited within
Ten (10) days after the furnishing of such comparative statement. (4) In
the Event Tenant should dispute any cost items in any comparative statement
furnished by Landlord pursuant to this Article, Landlord and Tenant
specifically agree that provided Tenant is not otherwise in default in the
payment of the basic monthly rent under this lease and Tenant first deposits
with Landlord the total sum in dispute hereunder, the cost items in dispute
shall be submitted to an independent Certified Public Accountant engaged by
Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, for audit and verification of the
cost items disputed, and the finding and determination of said independent
Certified Public Accountant, shall be deemed conclusively correct, final and
binding between parties hereto without further remedy or recourse to legal
proceedings.  In the event such audit discloses that the aggregate of the
true amount of such cost items as verified is within three per cent (3%) of the
aggregate items disputed, Tenant shall pay the cost of such audit, which shall
be in accordance with the reasonable charges generally prevailing for such
work.  Sums payable under this Article are deemed independent
additional rent and are payable in addition to the rental specified in Article 2
of this lease, any guaranteed minimum monthly rental, and any percentage rental
payable under this lease.  D.  Arbitration.  Provided Tenant is
not otherwise in default in the payment of the basic monthly rent under this
lease, the interpretation, construction, performance, or breach of this Article 20,
may be settled by arbitration pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
American Arbitration Association.  Either party requesting arbitration
under this Article 20 shall make a demand on the other party by registered
or certified mail with a copy to the American Arbitration Association.  It
is a condition precedent to Tenants right to arbitration that Tenant first
deposit with Landlords the total amount of the sum in dispute.  The
arbitration shall take place as noticed by the American Arbitration Association
regardless of whether one of the parties fails or refuses to participate. 
In no event shall any sum payable hereunder be withheld by Tenant pending
completion of such arbitration.  21.  GENDER.  In this lease, whenever the context so requires,
the masculine gender herein used shall include the feminine or neuter and the
singular number shall include the plural.  The captions set forth in the

outside Tenants business hours, in the evenings and on weekends.  The area of the leased premises is based upon the rentable area, which

39.  FIRE PROOFING AND INSULATING MATERIALS, ABATEMENT. 
Tenant acknowledges that certain fire-proofing and insulating materials used in
the construction of the Building contain asbestos and other hazardous
substances (collectively asbestos).  If any governmental entity
promulgates or revises a statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or
imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines with respect to such
asbestos-containing materials or if Landlord otherwise so elects, Landlord may,
in its sole and reasonable discretion, comply with such mandatory or voluntary
controls or guidelines, or elect to make such alterations or remove such
asbestos-containing materials.  Such compliance or the making of
alterations, and the removal of all or a portion of such asbestos containing
materials, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, shall not, in
any event constitute a breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease,
relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any Rent due under this Lease,
constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, or
constitute or be construed as a breach of Tenants quiet enjoyment.  In
accordance with Proposition 65 (Assembly Bill No. 3713) and the
regulations promulgated thereunder (California Health and Safety Code Sections
25249.6 et. seq.) which require that persons subject to environmental exposure
to certain designated chemicals, such as asbestos, receive warning, you are
advised that:  WARNING: THE BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS
A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER  Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has promulgated building
regulations and procedures governing the manner in which Tenant may undertake
alterations, additions, modifications and improvements to the Premises in those
areas where asbestos-containing materials may be located, and such regulations
and procedures may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to
time.  Prior to undertaking any physical work in or around the
Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the exact nature and location
of the proposed work and shall promptly supply such additional information
regarding the proposed work as Landlord shall request.  After receipt of
Tenants notice, Landlord shall, to the extent appropriate, supply Tenant with
the Building regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a
risk of coming into contact with asbestos-containing materials.  Tenant
shall, at Tenants sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all such
Building regulations and procedures established by Landlord and with all
applicable governmental statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations,
restrictions and guidelines (herein governmental controls).  Landlord
shall have the right (but not the duty or obligation at all times to monitor
the work for compliance with the Building regulations and procedures and
governmental controls.  If Landlord determines that any of the Building
regulations or procedures or governmental controls are not being strictly
complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being
performed in or around the Premises until such time as Landlord is satisfied
that the applicable regulations, procedures and governmental controls will be
observed.  Landlords monitoring of any work in or around the Premises
shall not be deemed a certification by Landlord of compliance with any
applicable governmental control or of the building regulations and procedures
or a waiver by Landlord of its right to require strict by Tenant with such
Building regulations and procedures and governmental controls, nor shall such
monitoring relieve Tenant from any of its responsibilities and liabilities
relating to such work.  40.  ABATEMENT OF FIREPROOFING AND INSULATING
MATERIALS.  Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with and accomodate one another
in the performance of the following abatement work by Landlord during the term
of this Lease:  A.  2nd Floor Abatement.  At any time during the
Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon
sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant to abate any asbestos containing
materials located in the 2nd Floor Premises.  The abatement work shall be
performed at night and on weekends under the supervision of a certified
industrial hygienist, either (at the option of Landlord) (a) in segments
in individual sections of the Premises as they are vacated, or (b) in the
entire Premises.  If required by Landlord, Tenant shall temporarily
relocate its employees to unoccupied portions of the 3rd Floor Premises and/or
other available areas of Tenants Premises and/or other unoccupied areas in the
Building for which Landlord will not charge any additional rent.  Landlord
shall pay the reasonable costs of relocating Tenants furniture to the
temporary space and back to the 2nd Floor Premises.  Whether performed in
segments or in the entire Premises the work shall be performed in a manner
which will interfere with Tenants banking operations to the least extent
reasonably possible, in order to permit Tenants banking staff to generally perform
their duties normal business hours during the period of the abatement of the
2nd Floor Premises.  In either case, the areas of abatement will be sealed
by plastic barriers or other means as required, and the plastic barriers,
scaffolding and other accouirements necessary for protection or inconvenient to
remove during the course of the work shall remain continously in place
throughout the course of the work.  Tenant shall continue to pay rent on
the entire 2nd Floor Premises throughout the period of the abatement work.  B.  Suite 100 Abatement.  At any time during
the Term of this Lease.  Landlord shall have the right (but not the
obligation) upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant to abate any
asbestos containing materials located Suite 100 on the 1st Floor. 
The abatement work shall be performed at night and on weekends under the
supervision of a certified industrial hygienist in a manner which will
interfere with Tenants banking operations to the least extent reasonably
possible, in order to permit Tenants branch bank to generally remain open
during normal business hours during the period of the abatement.  The
areas of a abatement will be sealed by plastic barriers or other means as
required.  Plastic barriers, scaffolding and other accouirements necessary
for protection or inconvenient to remove during the course of the work shall
remain continously in place throughout the course of the work.  Tenant
shall continue to pay rent on the entire 1st Floor Premises throughout the
period of the abatement work.  41.  BUILDING IDENTITY SIGN.  During the Term of this
Lease and any extensions thereof, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to
maintain the existing signs on the top of the Building exterior identifying the
name of the Building as City National Bank Building.  Tenant shall be
responsible for all expenses relating to the operation and maintenance of the
signs, including but not limited to utilities, cleaning repairs, permits,
insurance, taxes and for any damage to the Building occasioned by the
signs.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease or of these sign
rights, Landlord shall have the right and option, exercisable by written notice
to tenant, to (a) require Tenant at its sole cost to remove the signs and
repair any damage to the Building occasioned by such installation or removal
and restore the Premises to original condition, or (b) leave the signs in
place and surrender them to the Landlord as Landlords property under the terms
of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall thereupon modify said signs to no
longer read City National Bank.  42.  OPTION TO TERMINATE.  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a
one-time option to terminate this Lease on the 30th day of June 2004, but
only upon the following terms and conditions.  A.  That Tenant is not in material default under any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed
both at the time of the exercise of the option and on the termination date.  B.  That Tenant give Landlord twelve (12) months prior written
notice of Tenants election to exercise the option, such notice to be actually
received by Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to date the opinion is
to take effect.  C.  That Tenant pay to Landlord with the aforesaid notice the sum
of Three Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($389,000.00) as  12


consideration
for this Lease termination.  D.  That Tenant and all persons claiming under or through
Tenant vacate the demised premises not later than the termination date and
return the premises to Landlord in good condition, normal wear and tear
excepted.  E.  That all leasehold improvements which are Landlords property
under this Lease remain in the premises as part of the realty as provided in Article 7
and other provisions of this Lease.  Tenant shall remove any alteration or
improvements required to be removed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease and
restore the premises as required not later than the termination date.  F.  That this option shall be self-operating and that, once
exercised by Tenant no further documentation by the parties hereto shall be
necessary in order to terminate this Lease.  G.  That time is expressly made of the essence of this option.  43.  OPTION TO EXTEND TERM.  Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant the right to extend the term of this Lease for an additional five (5) year
period commencing upon the expiration of the initial ten (10) year term on
December 31, 2006, but nevertheless, only upon the following terms and
conditions:  A.  That Tenant is not in material default under any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed
both at the time of the exercise of such option and at the commencement of the
extended term.  B.  That Tenant give Landlord twelve (12) months prior written
notice of Tenants election to exercise such option, such notice to be actually
received by Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to date the option is to
take effect.  C.  That Tenant shall pay as rent during the extended term the
fair market rental value which is deemed to be the rental rate then being
offered to prospective tenants for new leases of the date of the commencement
of the extended term for comparable premises in the City National Bank
Building, or if no comparable premises in the Building are on the market at
that time, the rate for comparable premises in comparable office Buildings in
the downtown Los Angeles area, provided that in no event shall the rent for the
extended term be less than the herein rental rate paid by Tenant for the
premises for the last month of the initial ten (10) year term of this
Lease.  The determination of such fair market rental value shall take into
consideration all the elements which are generally and usually considered in
the real estate industry to establish a fair market rental value for comparable
premises, including but not limited to the size and location of the premises,
the quality and extent of the improvements existing in the premises, operating
cost and tax increases, cost of living and other rental adjustments, the
location of the premises in the Building, the floor height of the premises and
other economic factors generally allowed a tenant in such market for comparable
premises, such as a free rent allowance, provided that the determination of
fair market rental value shall not include any imputation of monetary value to
fair market rental factors not a constituent part of the extension option, such
as, for example, a reduction of rental for a brokerage commission where
Landlord has no obligation to pay such commission, or a reduction for a
relocation allowance, or a tenant improvement allowance based on unimproved or
raw space.  In any event the fair market rental value of the premises
shall be determined by employing sound business judgment and generally accepted
appraisal practices, and shall be established in accordance with Landlords
then standard leasing practices for premises based upon the rentable
area.  Escalations under Article 20 for the taxes and operating
expenses, and the Metrorail and Pershing Square Benefit Assessments, and any
charges under other provisions of this Lease, shall be passed through to Tenant
in addition to the base monthly rental.  In no event shall the rent for the extended term be less than the
herein rental rate paid by Tenant for the premises for the last month of the
initial ten (10) year term of this Lease.  D.  If the parties agree on the rent for the extended term,
they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the rent for
the extended term.  If the parties are unable to agree on the rent for the
extended term then within ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of the
extended term, each party, as its cost and by giving notice to the other party,
shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years
full-time commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are
located to appraise and set the rent for the extended term based upon the
foregoing formula.  If a party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days
after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single
appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the rent for the
extended term.  If the two (2) appraisers are appointed by the
parties as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to
set the rent for the extended term.  If they are unable to agree within 30
days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall elect a third
appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this Paragraph within ten (10) days
after the last day of the thirty (30) day period given the two appraisers to
set the rent.  Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost
of appointing a third appraiser and of paying the third appraisers fee. 
The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously
acted in any capacity for either party.  Within thirty (30) days after
selecting of third appraiser, a majority of the appraisers shall set the rent
for the extended term.  If the majority of the appraisers are unable to
set the rent within the stipulated period of time, the two (2) appraisals
that are closest in amount shall be added together and their total divided by
two (2); the resulting quotient shall be the fair market rental value for the
premises.  E.  That Tenant shall execute an Addendum confirming the
extension of the Term of this Lease and the rental, provided that this option
shall be self-operating and that once exercised by Tenant no further
documentation by the parties hereto shall be necessary in order to extend the
Term of this Lease.  F.  That time is expressly made of the essence of this
option.  13
