("Invention"), were made in the course of research at UCSD by Profs. Gilbert
A. Hegemier and Frieder Seible and their associates (hereinafter and
collectively, the "Inventors") and are covered by Patent Rights as defined
below;

WHEREAS, the research was sponsored in part by the Government of the United
States of America and as a consequence this license is subject to overriding
obligations to the Federal Government under 35 U.S.C. Sections 200-212 and
applicable regulations;

WHEREAS, the Inventors are employees of UCSD, and they are obligated to
assign all of their right, title and interest in the Invention to UNIVERSITY;

WHEREAS, UNIVERSITY is desirous that the Invention be developed and utilized
to the fullest possible extent so that its benefits can be enjoyed by the
general public;

WHEREAS, LICENSEE is desirous of obtaining certain rights from UNIVERSITY for
commercial development, use, and sale of the Invention, and the UNIVERSITY
is willing to grant such rights; and

WHEREAS, LICENSEE understands that UNIVERSITY may publish or otherwise
disseminate information concerning the Invention and Technology (as defined
below) at any time and that LICENSEE is paying consideration thereunder for
its early access to the Invention and Technology, not continued secrecy
therein.

            the amount specified herein for each calendar year ("MINIMUM
            ANNUAL ROYALTY"), LICENSEE shall pay to UNIVERSITY a minimum
            annual royalty on or before February 28 following the last quarter
            of such year of the difference between amount noted above and the

      Product anywhere in the world, LICENSEE shall submit to UNIVERSITY
      quarterly royalty reports on or before each February 28, May 31, August 31
      and November 30 of each year. Each royalty report shall cover LICENSEE's
      (and each Affiliate's and Sublicensee's) most recently completed calendar
      quarter and shall show:

      (1)   the gross sales, deductions as provided in Paragraph 1.11, and
            Net Sales during the most recently completed calendar quarter and

                                                                          7
<PAGE>

(c)   To the extent allowed by law, all records and other proprietary
      business information of LICENSEE made available to UNIVERSITY under
      foregoing paragraphs 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) shall be held by UNIVERSITY and
      UNIVERSITY'S inspecting agents in strictest confidence and shall not be
      disclosed to any person or entity except for those persons who need to
      have access to the same for the specific and limited purposes intended
      by those sections to determine the compliance of LICENSEE with respect
      to LICENSEE'S obligation to make royalty payments under this Agreement.
      All such records, upon the completion of the audit, shall be returned
      to LICENSEE with no copies being retained except those limited records
      necessary to resolve a claim against LICENSEE if and when a reasonable
      dispute exists about such payments.

4.2   RECORDS & AUDITS.

(a)   LICENSEE shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees
      to keep, accurate and correct records of all Licensed Products
      manufactured, used, and sold, and sublicense fees received under this
      Agreement. Such records shall be retained by LICENSEE for at least five
      (5) years following a given reporting period.

(b)   All records shall be available during normal business hours for
      inspection at the expense of UNIVERSITY by UNIVERSITY'S Internal
      Audit Department or by a Certified Public Accountant selected by
      UNIVERSITY and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement for
      the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments. Such inspector
      shall not disclose to UNIVERSITY any information other than information
      relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this
      Agreement or other compliance issues. In the event that any such
      inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment in excess of five
      percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, then LICENSEE shall pay
      the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been
      payable to UNIVERSITY had the LICENSEE reported correctly, plus an
      interest charge at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year. Such interest
      shall be calculated from the date the correct payment was due to
      UNIVERSITY up to the date when such payment is actually made by LICENSEE.
      For underpayment not in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve (12)
      month period, LICENSEE shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days
      without interest charge or inspection cost.

4.3   PAYMENTS.

(a)   All fees and royalties due UNIVERSITY shall be paid in United States
      dollars and all checks shall be made payable to "The Regents of the
      University of California", referencing UNIVERSITY'S taxpayer
      identification number, 95-6006144. When Licensed Products are sold in
      currencies other than United States dollars, LICENSEE shall first
      determine the earned royalty in the currency of the country in which
      Licensed Products were sold and then convert the amount into

                                                                          8
<PAGE>

      equivalent United States funds, using the exchange rate quoted in the
      Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable reporting
      period.

(b)   Royalty Payments.

      (1)   Royalties shall accrue when Licensed Products are invoiced, or if
            not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or Affiliate.

      (2)   LICENSEE shall pay earned royalties quarterly on or before
            February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each calendar
            year. Each such payment shall be for earned royalties accrued
            within LICENSEE's most recently completed calendar quarter.

      (3)   Royalties earned on sales occurring or under sublicense granted
            pursuant to this Agreement in any country outside the United
            States shall not be reduced by LICENSEE for any taxes, fees, or
            other charges imposed by the government of such country on the
            payment of royalty income, except that all payments made by
            LICENSEE in fulfillment of UNIVERSITY'S tax liability in any
            particular country may be credited against earned royalties or
            fees due UNIVERSITY for that country. LICENSEE shall pay all bank
            charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty payments.

      (4)   If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of
            part or all royalties by LICENSEE with respect to any country
            where a Licensed Product is sold or a sublicense is granted pursuant
            to this Agreement, LICENSEE shall convert the amount owed to
            UNIVERSITY into US currency and shall pay UNIVERSITY directly from
            its US sources of fund for as long as the legal restrictions apply.

      (5)   LICENSEE shall not collect royalties from, or cause to be paid on
            Licensed Products sold to the account of the US Government or any
            agency thereof as provided for in the license to the US Government.

      (6)   In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights
            is held invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which
            no appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be
            taken, or by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort
            and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to
            pay royalties based solely on that patent or claim or any claim
            patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such
            final decision. LICENSEE shall not, however, be relieved from
            paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final
            decision, that are based on another patent or claim not involved
            in such final decision, or that are based on the use of Technology.

                                                                          9
<PAGE>

(b)   LATE PAYMENTS.  In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments
      are not received by UNIVERSITY when due, LICENSEE shall pay to
      UNIVERSITY interest charges at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year. Such
      interest shall be calculated from the date payment was due until actually
      received by UNIVERSITY. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose
      UNIVERSITY from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence
      of the lateness of any payment. In no event shall this paragraph be
      construed as a grant of permission for any payment delays.

                           ARTICLE 5. PATENT MATTERS

5.1   PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE.

(a)   Provided that LICENSEE has reimbursed UNIVERSITY for Patent Costs
      pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, UNIVERSITY shall diligently prosecute and
      maintain the United States and, if available, foreign patents, and
      applications in Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. UNIVERSITY
      shall provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation
      relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE shall keep this documentation
      confidential. The counsel shall take instructions only from UNIVERSITY,
      and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be
      assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.

      If UNIVERSITY decides not to file patent applications in any country or
      countries in which LICENSEE deems patent protection to be necessary,
      LICENSEE may require that such application or applications be made and
      prosecuted by UNIVERSITY in such countries. Should the other third party
      licensee choose not to participate in that third party's share of such
      application, LICENSEE agrees to pay the full expense of such application
      or applications, UNIVERSITY will use best efforts to amend that third
      party's license to grant LICENSEE an exclusive license in such country
      to countries to which such patent application apply.

(b)   UNIVERSITY shall consider amending any patent application in Patent
      Rights to include claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the
      products contemplated to be sold by LICENSEE under this Agreement.

(c)   LICENSEE shall apply for an extension of the term of any patent in
      Patent Rights if appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent
      Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign
      counterparts of this law. LICENSEE shall prepare all documents for such
      application, and UNIVERSITY shall execute such documents and to take any
      other additional action as LICENSEE reasonably requests in connection
      therewith.

                                                                          10
<PAGE>

(d)  LICENSEE may elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with
     respect to any patent application or patent in Patent Rights upon three
     (3) months' written notice to UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY shall use
     reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent Costs for such application
     or patent when such notice of termination is received from LICENSEE.
     UNIVERSITY, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may continue
     prosecution and maintenance of said application or patent, and LICENSEE
     shall then have no further license with respect thereto. Non-payment of
     any portion of Patent Costs with respect to any application or patent
     may be deemed by UNIVERSITY as an election by LICENSEE to terminate its
     reimbursement obligations with respect to such application or patent.

5.2  PATENT INFRINGEMENT.

(a)  If LICENSEE learns of any substantial infringement of Patent Rights,
     LICENSEE shall so inform UNIVERSITY and provide UNIVERSITY with
     reasonable evidence of the infringement. Neither party shall notify a third
     party of the infringement of Patent Rights without the consent of the
     other party. Both parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation
     to terminate infringement without litigation.

(b)  LICENSEE may request UNIVERSITY to take legal action against such third
     party for the infringement of Patent Rights. Such request shall be made
     in writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement
     and damages to LICENSEE. If the infringing activity has not abated
     thirty (30) days following LICENSEE's request, UNIVERSITY shall elect to
     or not to commence suit on its own account. UNIVERSITY shall give notice
     of its election in writing to LICENSEE by the end of the one hundredth
     (100) day after receiving notice of such request from LICENSEE. LICENSEE
     may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement at its own expense, if
     and only if UNIVERSITY elects not to commence suit and the infringement
     occurred in a jurisdiction where LICENSEE has an exclusive license under
     this Agreement. If LICENSEE elects to bring suit, UNIVERSITY may join
     that suit at its own expense.

(c)  Recoveries from actions brought pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(b) shall belong
     to the party bringing suit. Legal actions brought jointly by UNIVERSITY
     and LICENSEE and fully participated in by both shall be at the joint
     expense of the parties and all recoveries shall be shared jointly by
     them in proportion to the proof of damages tendered by each in that
     action.

(d)  Each party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings at
     the expense of the party bringing suit. Litigation shall be controlled
     by the party bringing the suit, except that UNIVERSITY may be
     represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by LICENSEE.

                                                                          11
<PAGE>

5.3 PATENT MARKING. LICENSEE shall mark all Licensed Products made, used or
sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance
with the applicable patent marking laws.

                         ARTICLE 6. GOVERNMENTAL MATTERS

6.1 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL OR REGISTRATION. If this Agreement or any
associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either
approved or registered with any governmental agency, LICENSEE shall assume
all legal obligations to do so. LICENSEE shall notify UNIVERSITY if it
becomes aware that this Agreement is subject to a United States or foreign
government reporting or approval requirement. LICENSEE shall make all
necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other
out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting or approval process.

6.2 EXPORT CONTROL LAWS. LICENSEE shall observe all applicable United States
and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed Products and
related technical data to foreign countries, including, without limitation,
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration
Regulations.

6.3  PREFERENCE FOR UNITED STATES INDUSTRY. If LICENSEE sells a Licensed
Product or Combination Product in the US, LICENSEE shall manufacture said
product substantially in the US.

                     ARTICLE 7. TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

7.1 TERMINATION BY THE REGENTS. If LICENSEE fails to perform or violates any
term of this Agreement, then UNIVERSITY may give written notice of default
("Notice of Default") to LICENSEE. If LICENSEE fails to cure the default
within sixty (60) days of the Notice of Default, or if a complete cure is
impractical under the circumstances within that time, then reasonably
commenced an effective plan of rectification within that time, UNIVERSITY may
terminate this Agreement and the license granted herein or exercised
UNIVERSITY'S alternative option under paragraph 3.3(b) by a second written
notice ("Notice of Termination") to LICENSEE. If a Notice of Termination is
sent to LICENSEE, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the

obligation to pay any fees or royalties owed at the time of termination and
shall not impair any accrued right of UNIVERSITY.

7.2 TERMINATION BY LICENSEE.

(a) LICENSEE shall have the right at any time and for any reason to terminate

    notice shall state LICENSEE's reason for terminating this Agreement.

                                                                           12

<PAGE>

(b)     Any termination under Paragraph 7.2(a) shall not relieve LICENSEE of
        any obligation or liability accrued under this Agreement prior to
        termination or rescind any payment made to UNIVERSITY or action by
        LICENSEE prior to the time termination becomes effective. Termination
        shall not affect in any manner any rights of UNIVERSITY arising under
        this Agreement prior to termination.

7.3  SURVIVAL ON TERMINATION. The following Paragraphs and Articles shall
survive the termination of this Agreement:

WHEREAS, the  inventions disclosed in UCSD Case Docket No. SD96-040 and
titled "Modular Carbon Shell Concrete Structures" ("Invention"), were made
in  the course of research at UCSD by Profs. Gilbert A. Hegemier and Frieder
Seible and their associates (hereinafter and collectively, the "Inventors")
and are covered by Patent Rights as defined below;

WHEREAS, the research was sponsored in part by the Government of the United
States of America and as a consequence this license is subject to overriding
obligations to the Federal Government under 35 U.S.C. Sections 200-212 and
applicable regulations;

WHEREAS, the Inventors are employees of UCSD, and they are obligated to
assign all of their right, title and interest in the Invention to UNIVERSITY;

WHEREAS, UNIVERSITY is desirous that the Invention be developed and utilized
to the fullest possible extent so that its benefits can be enjoyed by the
general public;

WHEREAS, LICENSEE is desirous of obtaining certain rights from UNIVERSITY for
commercial development, use, and sale of the Invention, and the UNIVERSITY is
willing to grant such rights; and

WHEREAS, LICENSEE understands that UNIVERSITY may publish or otherwise
disseminate information concerning the Invention and Technology (as defined
below) at any time and that LICENSEE is paying consideration thereunder for
its early access to the Invention and Technology, not continued secrecy
therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree;

                                                                             1

      herein under paragraph 7.1. to either terminate this Agreement or change

4.1   REPORTS.

(a)   PROGRESS REPORTS.

      (1)   Beginning January 1, 2000 and ending on the date of first commercial

      (2)   the number of each type of Licensed Product sold;

                                                                               7
<PAGE>

      (3)   sublicense fees and royalties received during the most recently
            completed calendar quarter in US dollars, payable with respect
            thereto;

      (5)   the exchange rates used.

      If no sales of Licensed Products has been made and no sublicense revenues

      so report.

(c)   To the extent allowed by law, all records and other proprietary business
information of LICENSEE made available to UNIVERSITY'S under foregoing
paragraphs 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) shall be held by UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY'S
inspecting agents in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed to any
person or entity except for those persons who need to have access to the same
for the specific and limited purposes intended by those sections to determine
the compliance of LICENSEE with respect to LICENSEE'S obligation to make
royalty payments under this Agreement. All such records, upon the completion
of the audit, shall be returned to LICENSEE with no copies being retained
except those limited records necessary to resolve a claim against LICENSEE if
and when a reasonable dispute exists about such payments.

4.2   RECORDS & AUDITS.

(a)   LICENSEE shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to
      keep, accurate and correct records of all Licensed Products manufactured,
      used, and sold, and sublicense fees received under this Agreement. Such
      records shall be retained by LICENSEE for at least five (5) years
      following a given reporting period.

(b)   All records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection
      at the expense of UNIVERSITY by UNIVERSITY'S Internal Audit Department or
      by a Certified Public Accountant selected by UNIVERSITY and in compliance
      with the other terms of this Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying
      reports and payments. Such inspector shall not disclose to UNIVERSITY any
      information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and
      payments made under this Agreement or other compliance issues. In the
      event that any such inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment
      in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, then
      LICENSEE shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum
      that would have been payable to UNIVERSITY had the LICENSEE reported
      correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of ten percent (10%) per
      year. Such interest shall be calculated from the date the correct payment
      was due to UNIVERSITY up to the date when such payment is actually made by
      LICENSEE. For

                                                                               8

interest charge or inspection cost.

4.3  PAYMENTS.

(a)  All fees and royalties due UNIVERSITY shall be paid in United States
     dollars and all checks shall be made payable to "The Regents of the
     University of California", referencing UNIVERSITY'S taxpayer
     identification number, 95-6006144.  When Licensed Products are sold in
     currencies other than United States dollars, LICENSEE shall first
     determine the earned royalty in the currency of the country in which
     Licensed Products were sold and then convert the amount into
     eqivalent United States funds, using the exchange rate quoted in the
     Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable reporting
     period.

(b)  Royalty Payments.

     (1)  Royalties shall accrue when Licensed Products are invoiced, or if
          not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or Affiliate.

     (2)  LICENSEE shall pay earned royalties quarterly on or before February
          28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each calendar year.  Each
          such payment shall be for earned royalties accrued within
          LICENSEE's most recently completed calendar quarter.

     (3)  Royalties earned on sales occurring or under sublicense granted
          pursuant to this Agreement in any country outside the United States
          shall not be reduced by LICENSEE for any taxes, fees, or other
          charges imposed by the governments of such country on the payment
          of royalty income except that all payments made by LICENSEE in
          fulfillment of UNIVERSITY'S tax liability in any particular country
          may be credited against earned royalties or fees due UNIVERSITY for
          that country.  LICENSEE shall pay all bank charges resulting from
          the transfer of such royalty payments.

     (4)  If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of
          part or all royalties by LICENSEE with respect to any country where
          a Licensed Product is sold or a sublicense is granted pursuant to
          this Agreement, LICENSEE shall convert the amount owed to
          UNIVERSITY into US currency and shall pay UNIVERSITY directly from
          its US sources of fund for as long as the legal restrictions apply.

                                                                          9

<PAGE>

     (5)  LICENSEE shall not collect royalties from, or cause to be paid on
          Licensed Products sold to the account of the US Government or any
          agency thereof as provided for in the license to the US Government.

     (6)  In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights is
          held invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which no
          appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be taken,
          or by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from
          which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay
          royalties based solely on that patent or claim or any claim
          patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such
          final decision.  LICENSEE shall nor, however, be relieved from
          paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final
          decision, that are based on another patent or claim not involved in
          such final decision, or that are based on the use of Technology.

(b)  LATE PAYMENTS.  In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments
     are not received by UNIVERSITY when due, LICENSEE shall pay to
     UNIVERSITY interest charges at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year.
     Such interest shall be calculated from the date payment was due until
     actually received by UNIVERSITY.  The payment of such interest shall not
     foreclose UNIVERSITY from exercising any other rights it may have as a
     consequence of the lateness of any payment.  In no event shall this
     paragraph be construed as a grant of permission for any payment delays.

                           ARTICLE 5.  PATENT MATTERS

5.1  PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE.

(a)  Provided that LICENSEE has reimbursed UNIVERSITY for Patent Costs
     pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, UNIVERSITY shall diligently prosecute and
     maintain the United States and, if available, foreign patents, and
     applications in Patent Rights using counsel of its choice.  UNIVERSITY
     shall provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation
     relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE shall keep this documentation
     confidential.  The counsel shall take instructions only from UNIVERSITY,
     and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be
     assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.

     If UNIVERSITY decides not to file patent applications in any country or
     countries in which LICENSEE deems patent protection to be necessary,
     LICENSEE may require that such application or applications be made and
     prosecuted by UNIVERSITY in such countries.  Should the other third party
     licensee choose not to participate in that third party's share of such
     application, LICENSEE agrees to pay the full expense of such application
     or applications.

                                                                          10

<PAGE>

     UNIVERSITY will use best efforts to amend that third party's license to
     grant LICENSEE an exclusive license in such country to countries to
     which such patent application apply.

(b)  UNIVERSITY shall consider amending any patent application in Patent
     Rights to include claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the
     products contemplated to be sold by LICENSEE under this Agreement.

(c)  LICENSEE shall apply for an extension of the term of any patent in
     Patent Rights if appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent
     Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign
     counterparts of this law.  LICENSEE shall prepare all documents for such
     application, and UNIVERSITY shall execute such documents and to take
     any other additional action as LICENSEE reasonably requests in
     connection therewith.

(d)  LICENSEE may elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with
     respect to any patent application or patent in Patent Rights upon three
     (3) months' written notice to UNIVERSITY.  UNIVERSITY shall use
     reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent Costs for such application
     or patent when such notice of termination is received from LICENSEE.
     UNIVERSITY, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may continue
     prosecution and maintenance of said application or patent, and LICENSEE
     shall then have no further license with respect thereto.  Non-payment of
     any portion of Patent Costs with respect to any application or patent
     may be deemed by UNIVERSITY as an election by LICENSEE to terminate its
     reimbursement obligations with respect to such application or patent.

5.2  PATENT INFRINGEMENT.
