4.    ELIGIBILITY

      (b) Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to
the contrary, the participation of Non-Employee Directors in this Plan shall be
subject to the following restrictions:

                                                                    PAGE 4 OF 12

      Nonstatutory Options as described in this Section 4(b);

            (ii) Each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted a

      under Section 9) as a result of their appointment as an Non-Employee
      Director [on, or after, the effectiveness of the Company's initial public
      offering of Common Stock.] In addition, upon the conclusion of each
      regular annual meeting of the Company's stockholders occurring after 2000
      and following the meeting at which they were appointed, each Non-Employee
      Director who continues serving as a member of the Board thereafter shall

      adjustment under Section 9). All such Nonstatutory Options shall vest and
      become exercisable at the date of grant;

            (iii) The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options granted to a
      Non-Employee Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to 100
      percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, payable

      any reason.

(c) Limitation on Grants. No Optionee shall be granted Options to purchase more
than 100,000 Shares in any fiscal year of the Company.

(d) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than ten percent of the
total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an Incentive
Option unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(6) of the
Code.

(e) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, in determining
stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or
indirectly, by or for his brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal
descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a company,
corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned
proportionately by or for its members, shareholders, partners or beneficiaries.

(f) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, "outstanding stock"
shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the
grant. "Outstanding stock" shall not include shares authorized for issuance
under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person.

5.    STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN

(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under this Plan shall be authorized but
unissued Shares or treasury Shares. Two million (2,000,000) Shares have been
reserved for issuance under this Plan (upon exercise of Options or other
rights to acquire Shares). The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued
under this Plan shall at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 9. The number of Shares which are subject to Options or other rights
outstanding at any time under this Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares
which then remain available for issuance under this Plan. The Company, during
the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available
sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of this Plan.

                                                                    PAGE 5 OF 12
<PAGE>

      (b) Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding Option or other
right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares
allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again
be available for the purposes of this Plan. If Shares are forfeited before any
dividends have been paid with respect to the Shares, then such Shares shall
again be available for award or sale under this Plan.

6.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

      (a) Option Grant. Each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be
evidenced by an Option Grant approved by the Committee. Such Option shall be
subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Plan and may be subject
to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with this Plan and
which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in an Option Grant. The
provisions of the various Option Grants entered into under this Plan need not be
identical. In no event shall the aggregate fair market value (determined as of
the time the Incentive Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which
Incentive Options (granted under this Plan or any other plans of the Company)
are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee in any calendar year exceed
$100,000. No Incentive Option shall be granted pursuant to this Plan after ten
years from the earlier of the date of adoption of this Plan by the Board or the
date of approval of this Plan by the Company's stockholders.

      (b) Number of Shares. Each Option Grant shall specify the number of Shares
that are subject to the Option. The Option Grant shall also specify whether the
Option is a Nonstatutory Option or an Incentive Option.

      (c) Exercise Price. Each Option Grant shall specify the Exercise Price.
The Exercise Price of an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100 percent of
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise
provided in Section 4(d). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Exercise Price
under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion.
The Exercise Price shall be payable in one or the forms described in Sections
8(a), (b) and (d).

      (d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal,
state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

      (e) Exercisability and Term. Each Option Grant shall specify the date when
all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Option Grant
shall also specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed ten years
from the date of grant (five years for Employees described in Section 4(d)).
Subject to the preceding three sentences, the Committee at its sole discretion
shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become
exercisable and when an Option is to expire. [Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Option will be exercisable (and any attempted exercise will
be deemed null and void) if such exercise would create a right of recovery for
"short-swing profits" under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. This Section
6(e)(ii) is intended to protect persons subject to Section 16(b) against
inadvertent violations of Section 16(b) and shall not apply with respect to any
particular exercise of an Option if this Section 6(e)(ii) is expressly waived in
writing by the Optionee at the time of such exercise.]

      (f) Termination of Relationship. Except as the Committee may otherwise
determine at any time with respect to any particular Nonstatutory Option granted
hereunder:

                                                                    PAGE 6 OF 12
<PAGE>

                  (i) If an Optionee ceases to have a Relationship for any
            reason other than his death or Permanent Disability, any Options
            granted to him shall terminate ninety days from the date on which
            such Relationship terminates. During the ninety day period, the
            Optionee may exercise any Option granted to him but only to the
            extent such Option was exercisable on the date of termination of his
            Relationship and provided that such Option has not previously
            expired by its own terms or otherwise terminated as provided herein.
            A leave of absence approved in writing by the Committee shall not be
            deemed a termination of Relationship for purposes of this Section
            6(f), but no Option may be exercised during any such leave of
            absence, except during the first ninety days thereof.

                  (ii) For purposes hereof, termination of an Optionee's
            Relationship for reasons other than death or Permanent Disability
            shall be deemed to take place upon the earliest to occur of the
            following: (w) the date of the Optionee's retirement from employment
            under the normal retirement policies of the Company; (x) the date of
            the Optionee's retirement from employment with the approval of the
            Committee because of disability (other than Permanent Disability);
            (y) the date the Optionee receives notice or advice that his
            employment or other Relationship is terminated; or (z) the date the
            Optionee ceases to render the services which he was employed,
            engaged or retained to render to the Company (absences for temporary
            illness, emergencies and vacations or leaves of absence approved in
            writing by the Committee excepted). The fact that the Optionee may
            receive payment from the Company after termination for vacation pay,
            for services rendered prior to termination, for salary in lieu of
            notice or for other benefits shall not affect the termination date.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary,
            no Option may be exercised or claimed by Optionee following the
            termination of his Relationship as a result of a Termination for
            Cause, and no Option may be exercised or claimed while the Optionee
            is being investigated for a Termination for Cause.

      (g) Death or Permanent Disability of Optionee. Except as the Committee may
otherwise determine at any time with respect to any particular Nonstatutory
Option granted hereunder, if an Optionee shall die at a time when he is in a
Relationship or if the Optionee shall cease to have a Relationship by reason of
Permanent Disability, any Options granted to him shall terminate one year after
the date of his death or termination of Relationship due to Permanent Disability
unless by its terms it shall expire before such date or otherwise terminate
earlier as provided herein, and shall only be exercisable to the extent that it
would have been exercisable on the date of his death or his termination of
Relationship due to Permanent Disability. In the case of death, the Option may
be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the
Option shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      (h) Privileges of Stock Ownership. No person entitled to exercise any
Option granted under this Plan shall have any of the rights or privileges of a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon exercise of
such Option until such person has become the holder of record of such Shares. No
adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions of rights in respect of
such Shares if the record date is prior to the date on which such person becomes
the holder of record, except as provided in Section 9 hereof.

      (i) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. The Committee may
amend, modify, extend or renew outstanding Options or may accept the
cancellation of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised),
whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options at the
same or a different price. The Committee may shorten the vesting period, extend
the exercise period or remove any or all restrictions if, in its sole
discretion, the Committee determines that such action is in the

                                                                    PAGE 7 OF 12
<PAGE>

best interests of the Company and equitable to the Optionee. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no amendment or modification of an Option shall, without the
consent of the holder of such Option, materially and adversely impair his rights
or increase his obligations under such Option.

      (j) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of
an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Option Grant and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may
apply to all holders of Shares. Each certificate representing any Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall bear a legend making appropriate reference to
the restrictions imposed on the Shares.

7.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES

      (a) Share Award. Each award or sale of Shares under this Plan (other than
upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Share Award approved by the
Committee. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and
conditions of this Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions
which are not inconsistent with this Plan and which the Committee deems
appropriate for inclusion in a Share Award. The provisions of the various Share
Awards entered into under this Plan need not be identical.

      (b) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to
acquire Shares under this Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Offeree within thirty days after the grant of such right
was communicated to the Offeree by the Committee. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was
granted.

      (c) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be determined by the
Committee at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in one of
the forms described in Sections 8(a), (b) or (c).

      (d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the receipt or purchase of
Shares, the Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require
for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations
that may arise in connection with a recognition of income from such Shares
(either on the date of grant or the date the restrictions lapse).

      (e) Modification of Share Awards. The Committee may amend or modify any
outstanding Share Awards. The Committee may shorten the vesting period or remove
any or all restrictions if, in its sole discretion, the Committee determines
that such action is in the best interests of the Company and equitable to the
Offeree. The foregoing notwithstanding, no amendment or modification of a Share
Award shall, without the consent of the holder of such Shares, materially and
adversely impair his rights or increase his obligations under such Share Award.

      (f) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold under
this Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares. Each certificate representing any
Shares awarded or sole under this Plan will bear a legend making appropriate
reference to the restrictions imposed on the Shares.

8.    PAYMENT FOR SHARES

      (a) General Rule. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price for the
number of Shares being purchased and, if applicable, any federal, state or local
withholding taxes required to be paid in

                                                                    PAGE 8 OF 12

accordance with Section 6(d) or 7(d) hereof, shall be payable in full, by cash
or by certified or cashier's check payable to the order of the Company or
equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company, at the time when such Shares are
purchased, except as provided in Subsections (b), (c) and (d) below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to postpone the
time of delivery of the Shares for such period as may be required for it to
comply, with reasonable diligence, with any applicable listing requirements of
any national securities exchange (including the Nasdaq National Market) or any
federal, state or local law. If an Optionee or Offeree fails to accept delivery
of or fails to pay for all or any portion of the Shares requested, the Committee
shall have the right to terminate his Option (or other right to acquire Shares)
with respect to the number of such Shares requested.

      (b) Surrender of Stock. At the discretion of the Committee, payment may be
made in whole or in part with Shares which were acquired by the Optionee in the
open market or which have already been owned by the Optionee or his
representative for more than six months, and which certificate(s) representing
the Shares is surrendered to the Company duly endorsed and in good form for
transfer. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date
when the new Shares are purchased under this Plan.

      (c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be
awarded under this Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or
a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a
Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of
the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the
sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of this Section 6(c).

      (d) Cashless Exercise. At the discretion of the Committee, payment may be
made in whole or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of
an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver
all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price.

9.    ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES

      (a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a
dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material
effect on the value of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares,
a recapitalization or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate
adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future
grants under Section 5, (ii) the number of Shares available for grants under
Section 4(c), (iii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option,
(iv) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option, (v) the number of Shares
covered by each outstanding award or (vi) the Purchase Price of each outstanding
award.

      (b) Reorganization. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger
or other reorganization, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement
of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide for the assumption of
outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent or for their
continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving corporation);
provided, however, that if assumption or continuation of the outstanding Options
is not provided by such agreement then the Committee shall have the option of
offering the payment of a cash settlement equal to the difference between the
amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price, in
all cases without the Optionees' consent.

      (c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 9, an
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment

                                                                    PAGE 9 OF 12
<PAGE>

of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and
no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

10.   CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Notwithstanding any other section this Plan, in the event of a Change in
Control, all restrictions on all awards or sales of Shares will lapse and
vesting on all unexercised Options will accelerate to the Change in Control
date.

11.   LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

      Shares shall not be issued under this Plan unless the issuance and
delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities
laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the
Company's securities may then be listed.

12.   NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

      Nothing contained in this Plan or in any right or Option granted under
this Plan shall confer upon any Offeree or Optionee any right with respect to
the continuation of his employment by or other Relationship with the Company or
a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate
any person's employment and/or Relationship at any time and for any reason, with
or without notice.

13.   DURATION AND AMENDMENTS

      (a) Term of this Plan. This Plan shall terminate automatically on
February 2, 2010 and may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to
Subsection (b) below.

      (b) Right to Amend, Suspend or Terminate this Plan. The Board of Directors
may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time and from time to time.
Rights and obligations under any Option or other right granted before amendment
of this Plan shall not be materially and adversely impaired by such amendment,
except with consent of the holder of the Option or other right. An amendment of
this Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders only to
the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.

      (c) Effect of Termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold under this
Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Option granted
prior to such termination. The termination of this Plan shall not affect any
Share previously issued or any Option previously granted under this Plan.

14.   PLAN NOT A TRUST

      Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to this Plan
shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary
relationship, between the Company and any Offeree or Optionee, the executor,
administrator or other personal representative, or designated beneficiary of

                                                                   PAGE 10 OF 12
<PAGE>

such Offeree or Optionee, or any other persons. If and to the extent that any
Offeree or Optionee or such Offeree's or Optionee's executor, administrator or
other personal representative, as the case may be, acquires a right to receive
any payment from the Company pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

15.   NOTICES

      Each Offeree or Optionee shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee
with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and delivery of
agreements, Common Stock and cash pursuant to this Plan. Any notices required or
permitted to be given shall be deemed given if directed to the person to whom
addressed at such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first-class
and prepaid. If any item mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to
the addressee, mailing will be suspended until the Offeree or Optionee furnishes
the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the
mailing of any notice or notification if such notice is not required under the
terms of this Plan or any applicable law.

16.   SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS

      If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and
this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been
included.

17.   PAYMENT TO MINORS, ETC.

      Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent
person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid
when paid to such person's guardian or to the party providing or reasonably
appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully
discharge the Committee, the Company and other parties with respect thereto.

18.   HEADINGS AND CAPTIONS

      The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and
convenience only, shall not be considered part of this Plan, and shall not be
employed in the construction of this Plan.

19.   CONTROLLING LAW

      This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the
State of Nevada to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall
otherwise control.

                                                                   PAGE 11 OF 12

first day of each Adjustment Month specified in Section 1.1 in proportion to the
increase in the Index which has occurred between the month which is three (3)

    equal to the excess (the "Excess") from time to time of total annual
    Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises, as

    multiplying (I) the difference between the annual Operating Expense per

    the right to adjust such amount no more than once a year to reflect any
    changes in Landlord's estimate of Operating Expenses.

        (b) By April 1 of each calendar year during the lease Term, or as soon
    thereafter as practical but no later than May 1, Landlord shall furnish to
    Tenant a statement. ("Actual Statement") of Landlord's annual Operating
    Expenses, as Grossed-Up, for the previous calendar year. If for any calendar
    year the amounts collected from Tenant for the prior year, as a result of
    Landlord's estimate of Operating Expenses, exceeds the amount of the Excess
    actually due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant
    any overpayment (or at Landlord's option, apply such amount against Rent due
    or to become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on
    demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year.

        (c) In the event of any good faith dispute as to the amount of the
     Excess as set forth in the statement of actual Operating Expenses, Tenant
     shall have the right, no more frequently than once per calendar year, after
     reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, to inspect and
     photocopy Landlord's Operating Expenses records at Landlord's officer. If,
     after such inspection and photocopy, Tenant continues, in good faith, to
     dispute the amount of the Excess, as set forth in said statement, Tenant
     shall be entitled not later than one (1) year following Tenant's receipt of
     an Actual Statement to retain a national, independent, certified public
     accountant who is not contracted on a contingency fee basis and is mutually
     acceptable to landlord and Tenant to and is mutually acceptable to Landlord
     and Tenant to audit Landlord's Operating Expenses records with respect to
     the calendar year covered by Actual Statement to determine the proper
     amount of the Excess. Landlord shall be entitled to review the results of
     such audit promptly after completion of same. If the results of such audit
     prove that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days
     after the results of the audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord
     shall credit Tenant the amount of such

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

     overcharge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming
     due under this Lease. If the audit proves that Landlord has undercharged
     Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are
     made available to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any
     such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided
     that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such cost if the results
     of such audit prove that Landlord's determination of the Operating Expenses
     (as set forth in the Actual Statement) was in error by more than six
     percent (6%). If Tenant does not request an audit in accordance with the
     provisions of this Section 6(c) within one (1) year after Tenant's receipt
     of an Actual Statement, such Actual Statement shall be conclusively binding
     upon Tenant. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all
     Operating Expenses for three (3) years following the issuance of the
     Operating Expense statement for such Operating Expenses. The payment by
     Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article shall not preclude Tenant
     from questioning the correctness of any such statement.

any act or thing upon the Premises or the Building which would (i) jeopardize or
be in conflict with fire insurance policies covering the Building or covering
any fixtures and property in the Building; (ii) increase the rate of fire
insurance applicable to the Building to an amount higher than it otherwise would
be for general office use of the Building; or (iii) subject Landlord to any
liability or responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property
by reason of any business or operation being carried on upon the Premises.

                                ENTRY BY LANDLORD

          Tenant agrees to permit Landlord or its agents or representatives to
enter into and upon any part of the Premises at all reasonable hours (and in
emergencies at all times) to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to
prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, tenants or insurers, to clean or make
repairs, alterations or additions thereto, and Tenant shall not be entitled to
any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof.

                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

          17.1 Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber this
Lease or any interest therein. Any attempted assignment or sublease by Tenant in
violation of the terms and covenants of this Article 17 shall be void.

          17.2 If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an assignment of this
Lease or subletting of all or part of the Premises, Landlord shall have the
option (without limiting Landlord's other rights hereunder) of terminating this
Lease upon thirty (30) days notice. Landlord may then, at Landlord's option,
lease space to the prospective assignee or subtenant. If Landlord should fail to
notify Tenant in writing of its decision within a thirty (30) day period after
Landlord is notified in writing of the proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord
shall be deemed to have refused to consent to such proposed assignment or
sublease, and to have elected to keep this Lease in full force and effect.

          17.3 All cash or other proceeds of any assignment, sale or sublease of
Tenant's interest in this Lease, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall
be paid to Landlord notwithstanding the fact that such proceeds exceed the Rent
called for hereunder, unless Landlord agrees to the contrary in writing, and
Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such
proceeds to Landlord. This covenant and assignment shall run with the land and
shall bind Tenant and Tenant's heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. Any assignee, subleasee or purchaser of
Tenant's interest in this Lease (all such assignees, subleasees and purchasers
being hereinafter referred to as "Successors"), by assuming Tenant's obligations
hereunder, shall assume liability to Landlord for all amounts paid to persons
other than Landlord by such Successor in consideration of any such sale,
assignment or subletting, in violation of the provisions hereof.

          17.4 No assignment, sublease or other transfer consented to by
Landlord, shall release Tenant or change Tenant's primary liability to pay the
rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon the
occurrence of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly
against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting any remedies against any
subtenant or assignee. Upon termination of this Lease, any permitted subtenant
shall, at Landlord's option, Attorn to Landlord and shall pay all Rent directly
to constitute a waiver of any provision of this Article 17. Consent to one
transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent transfer. Landlord may
consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant's
transferee, without notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent. Such action shall
not relieve Tenant of its liabilities.

           17.5 No merger shall result from Tenant's sublease of the Premises
under this Article 17, Tenant's surrender of this Lease or the termination of
this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or
all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord thereunder.

                                      -12-

          Tenant will not permit any mechanic's lien(s) or other liens to be
placed upon the Premises or the Building and nothing in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of
Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person for the
performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the Premises, or
any part thereof, nor giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract
for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials
that would give rise to any mechanics' or other liens against the Premises. In
the event any such lien is attached to the Premises, then, in addition to any
other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
discharge the same. Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid
purposes shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.

                                   ARTICLE 19

                                    INSURANCE

          19.1 Property Insurance. Landlord shall maintain property coverage
insurance on the Building Shell and appurtenant structures in the Common Areas
in such amounts as Landlord and any Mortgagees may deem necessary or
appropriate. Such insurance shall be maintained at the expense of Landlord (as a
part of Operating Expenses), and payments for losses thereunder shall be made
solely to Landlord or the Mortgages as their respective interests shall appear.
Tenant shall obtain and keep in force at all times during the Lease Term, a
policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to all of the
improvements, betterments, income and business contents located within the
Premises other than the Building Shell (including all improvements constructed
pursuant to Exhibit "D") in the amount of the full replacement value thereof as
ascertained by the Tenant's insurance carrier, as the same may exist from time
to time, against all perils normally covered in an "all risk" policy (including
the perils of flood and surface waters), as such term is used in the insurance
industry; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to insure
against earthquake.

          19.2 Liability Insurance Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain a
policy of Commercial General Liability insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant
against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of
the Premises. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing
single-limit coverage in an amount not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence. The initial amount of such insurance shall be
subject to periodic increase upon reasonable demand by Landlord based upon
inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of professional insurance
advisers, and other relevant factors. However, the limits of such insurance
shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any obligation
hereunder. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on said policies and
the

                                       23
<PAGE>

policies shall contain the following provision: "Such insurance as afforded by
this policy for the benefit of Landlord shall be primary as respects any claims,
losses or liabilities arising out of the use of Premises by the Tenant or by
Tenant's operation and any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and
non-contributing." The policy shall insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity
provisions of Articles 14 and 20.

          19.3 Requirements for Insurance Policies. Insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant hereunder shall be in companies holding a "General
Policyholders' Rating" of A or better and a "financial rating" of 10 or better,
as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Tenant shall
promptly deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date,
original certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance. No
such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage except after
sixty (60) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, within thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration, cancellation or reduction of such policies,
furnish Landlord with renewals or "binders" thereof. Tenant shall not do or
permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
required under this lease.

          19.4 Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Tenant and Landlord shall obtain
from the issuer of the insurance policies referred to in Section 19.1 a waiver
of subrogation provision in said policies and Tenant and Landlord hereby
release, relieve and waive any and all rights of recovery against Landlord or
Tenant, or against employees, officers, agents and representatives of Landlord
or Tenant, for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured
against under Section 19.1 which perils occur in, on or about the Premises or
the

                                      -13-

Building, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their agents,
employees, contractors or invitees. The extent of the waiver described in the
immediately preceding sentence is limited to the extent of insurance carried by
Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 19.1 of this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE 20

                                    INDEMNITY

            Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless landlord and all agents,
servants and employees of Landlord from and against all claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), penalties and
charges arising from or in connection with (i) Tenant's use of the Premises
during the Lease Term, or (ii) the conduct of Tenant's business, or (iii) any
activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the
Premises during the Lease Term. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord from and against any and all claims, loss, damage, liability, expense
default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part5 to be performed
under the terms of this Lease, or arising

                                       24

<PAGE>

from any negligence of Tenant, or any of Tenant's agents, contractors, or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of its
consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons in or upon the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant
hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to defend, save harmless or
indemnify Landlord from any liability for injury, loss, accident or damage to
any person or property resulting from Landlord's negligence or willful acts or
omissions, or those of Landlord's officers, agents, contractors or employees.
Tenant's indemnity is not intended to nor shall it relieve any insurance carrier
of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to
the provisions of this Lease to the extent that such policies cover the results
of negligent acts or omissions of Landlord, its officers, agents, contractors or
employees, or the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under
this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE 21

                                 PROPERTY DAMAGE

            If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or
other peril, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In
case the Building shall be so damaged that substantial alteration or
reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole opinion, be required
(whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such peril) or in the
event of any Mortgagee shall require that the insurance proceeds payable as a
result of a peril be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event
of any material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its option,
terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within
ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. If Landlord does not thus
elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, as Landlord's sole obligation,
commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building Shell to
substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the
occurrence of the peril. When the Building Shell has been restored by Landlord,
Tenant shall complete the restoration of the Premises, including the
reconstruction of all improvements in order to complete the Premises and restore
the Premises to the same condition and build-out as prior to the casualty,
including all improvements constructed pursuant to Exhibit "D." Any planes and
specifications for such restoration and reconstruction shall be subject to the
approval of Landlord. All insurance proceeds payable pursuant to policies
maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section 19.1 shall be applied by Tenant to such
reconstruction. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance
to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such
damage or the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next
sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of rent to the extent
the Premises are unfit for occupancy during the period commencing as of the date
of the casualty and continuing for the period of time, as determined by
Landlord, required for Tenant

                                      -14-

                                       25

and Landlord to complete the repairs described in this Article 21. If the
Premises or any other portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other peril
resulting form the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents,
employees, or invitees, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished during the
repair of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of the
repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost
and expense are not covered by insurance proceeds.

                                   ARTICLE 22

                                  CONDEMNATION

            If the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the
Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use, by right of eminent
domain or otherwise or shall be sold in lieu of condemnation, then this Lease
shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Building or the
Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If less than the whole or
substantially the whole of the building or the Premises is thus taken or sold,
Landlord (whether or not the Premises are affected thereby) may terminate this
Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event this Lease
shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of such portion of the
Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If the Lease is not
so terminated upon any such taking or sale, the Base Rent payable hereunder
shall be diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord shall, to the extent
Landlord deems feasible, restore the Building and the Premises to substantially
their former condition, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work
done by Landlord in originally constructing the Building and installing Building
Standard Improvements in the Premises, nor shall Landlord in any event be
required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by
Landlord as compensation for such taking. All amounts awarded upon a taking of
any part or all or the Building or the Premises shall belong to Landlord, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claims to any such
compensation.

                                   ARTICLE 23

                           DAMAGES FROM CERTAIN CAUSES

            Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage to any
property or person occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy,
injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition, or order
of governmental body or authority or by any other cause beyond the control of
Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or
inconvenience which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the
Building or Premises.

                                   ARTICLE 24

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                                       26
<PAGE>

            The following events shall be deemed to be events of default
("Events of Default") by Tenant under this Lease:

            (a) If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Tenant vacates the
      Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days;

            (b) If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge required to be
      paid by Tenant, as and when due;

            (c) If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant's non-monetary
      obligations under this Lease for a period of ten (10) days after written
      notice from Landlord; provided that if more than ten (10) days are
      required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if
      Tenant commences such performance within such ten (10) day period and
      thereafter diligently pursues its completion;

            (d) If (i) Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement
      for the benefit of creditors; (ii) a petition for adjudication of
      bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against
      Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) a trustee or
      receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's
      assets located at the Premises or of

                                      -15-

      Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant
      within thirty (30) days; or (iv) substantially all of Tenant's assets
      located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease is subjected
      to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged
      within thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
      that nay of the acts described in this subsection (d) is not a default
      under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if
      Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant
      transfers Tenant's interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as
      Additional Rent, the difference between the rent (or any other
      consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease and the
      rent payable by Tenant hereunder; or

            (a) If any representation or warranty made by Tenant or by a
      subtenant or assignee in connection with this Lease shall have been false
      or misleading as of the date such representation or warranty was made.

                                   ARTICLE 25

                               LANDLORD'S REMEDIES

                                       27
<PAGE>

                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord
      may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
      limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord
      may have:

                 (a) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by
      any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant
      shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In
      such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages
      incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including without
      limitation (i) the worth at the time of the Award of the unpaid Base Rent,
      Additional Rent and other charges which had been earned at the time of the
      termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by
      which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would
      have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the
      amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
      avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
      the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have
      been paid for the balance of the Lease term after the time of award
      exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been
      reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
      Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
      perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of
      things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to,
      any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving
      the Premises after such default, the cost of recovering possession of the
      Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation incurred
      in connection therewith, and any real estate commission paid or payable.
      As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of the
      award" is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of
      eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or such lesser amount as may then be the
      maximum lawful rate, accruing the date such payments are due until paid.
      As used in subpart (iii) above, the "worth at the time of the award" is
      computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
      Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent
      (1%);

                  (b) Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which case this
      Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned
      the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of
      Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
      recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Landlord's election to maintain
      Tenant's right to possession shall not prejudice Landlord's right, at any
      time thereafter to terminate

                                      -16-

      Tenant's right to possession and proceed in accordance with Section 25 (a)
      above; or

            (C) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord
      under Laws or Judicial decisions of the State of Nevada.

          Landlord's exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from
 exercising any other right or remedy.

                               LANDLORD'S DEFAULT

            Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not
      begun and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of
      Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days of
      receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure
      to perform. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or
      rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord's default as to any covenant or
      agreement contained in this Lease or as a result of the breach of any
      promise or inducement hereof, whether in the Lease or elsewhere. Tenant
      hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby
      agrees that Tenant's remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any
      promise or inducement shall be limited to a suite for damages and/or
      injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the
      exercise of any such remedies, it will give any Mortgagee notice and a
      reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord.

                               PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT

            Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold, and enjoy the Premises,
      subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant pays the Rent and
      other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant and performs all of
      Tenant's covenants and agreements herein contained. This covenant and any
      and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its
      successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its or their
      respective periods of ownership of Landlord's interest hereunder. Landlord
      shall be entitled to cause Tenant to relocate from the Premises to other
      space (a "Relocation Space") within the Building at any time after
      reasonable written notice of Landlord's election (not in excess of ninety
      (90) days) is given to Tenant. Any such relocation shall be entirely at
      the expense of Landlord or the third party tenant replacing Tenant in the
      Premises. Such a relocation shall not terminate or otherwise affect or
      modify this Lease except that from and after the date of such relocation,
      "Premises" shall refer to the Relocation Space into which Tenant has been
      moved, rather than the original Premises as herein defined.

                                       29
<PAGE>

            In the event of holding over by Tenant after the expiration or other
 termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant continues to occupy the
 Premises after the termination of Tenant's right of possession pursuant to
 Article 25 above, Tenant shall, throughout the entire holdover period, pay rent
 equal to twice the Base Rent and Additional Rent which would have been
 applicable had the term of this Lease continued through the period of such
 holding over by Tenant. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of
 the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term, with the express written
 consent of Landlord: (a) such tenancy will be deemed to be a periodic tenancy
 from month-to-month only; (b) such tenancy will not constitute a renewal or
 extension of this Lease for any further term; and (c) such tenancy may be
 terminated by Landlord upon the earlier of thirty (30) days prior written
 notice or the earliest date permitted by law. Such month-to-month tenancy will
 be subject to every other term, condition, and covenant contained in this Lease
 including the Base Rent and Additional Rent provisions. Nothing contained in
 this Article 38 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over
 of the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require
 Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration
 or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises

Article 29 promptly as requested, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes Landlord
as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in Tenant's name, place and
stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with interest. Tenant

request by Landlord execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall
request a statement in recordable form certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same

other charges payable under the Lease have been paid, stating that Landlord is
not in default hereunder (or if Tenant alleges a default stating the nature of
such alleged default) and further stating such other matters as Landlord shall
reasonably require. Tenant acknowledges that any such statement may be relied
upon by any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee, purchaser of the Building or any
interest therein.

 measure of damages caused by Tenant in case of default by Tenant, Landlord may
 commingle time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit
 to the extent necessary to make good any arrearage of rent or to satisfy any
 other covenant oar obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following any such
 application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the
 amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original
 amount. If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, the
 balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any such application shall be
 returned by Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord transfers its interest in the
 Premises during the term of this Lease, Landlord may assign the Security
 Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further liability for
