2.       PREMISES.

         2.1      LETTING. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby
leases from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of
the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise
provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this Lease, or that may have
been used in calculating Rent is an approximation which the Parties agree is
reasonable and any payments based thereon are not subject to revision whether or
not the actual size is more or less. NOTE: LESSEE IS ADVISED TO VERIFY THE
ACTUAL SIZE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS LEASE.

         2.2      CONDITION. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee on the
Commencement Date ("START DATE") without warrantys with respect to the existing
electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, lighting, heating, ventilating and air
conditioning systems ("HVAC"), loading doors, sump pumps, if any, and all other
such elements in the Premises, or the structural elements of the roof, bearing
walls and foundation of the buildings on the Premises (collectively, the
"BUILDING") However, If one of such systems or elements should malfunction or
fail Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole

<PAGE>

obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with
specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or
failure, rectify same at Lessor's expense.

         2.3      COMPLIANCE. Lessee is RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR
NOT THE building codes, applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of record,
regulations and ordinances (the "APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS'), AND ESPECIALLY THE
ZONING, ARE APPROPRIATE FOR LESSEE'S INTENDED USE, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PAST
USES OF THE PREMISES MAY NO LONGER BE ALLOWED. If the Applicable Requirements
are hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this Lease the
construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Premises and/or Building,
the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other
physical modification of the Unit, Premises and/or Building ("CAPITAL
EXPENDITURE"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as
follows:

                  (a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital
Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants or occupants in general,
Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however that
if the cost thereof exceeds 16 months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate
this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, within 10 days after
receipt of Lessee's termination notice that Lessor has elected to pay the
difference between the actual cost thereof and an amount equal to 19 months!
Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use
of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor
written notice specifying a termination date at least 3088 days thereafter
(unless the same occurs during the final 30 days of the Lease term, in which
event such termination date shall be the scheduled Expiration Date). Such
termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the First to occur
of (i) the scheduled Expiration Date or (ii) the last day that Lessee could
legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital Expenditure.

                  (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the
specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally
mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor shall pay for such costs provided,
however, that if Lessor reasonably determines that it is not economically
feasible to pay such Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon
90 days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies Lessor, in
writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor's termination notice that Lessee
will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate,
and fails to pay the cost of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance
such funds and deduct same, with Interest, from Rent until such costs have been
fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance such cost, or if the balance of the
Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Lease is not sufficient to fully
reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right to terminate
this Lease upon 30 days written notice to Lessor.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning
Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected,
and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead
triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change
in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event,
Lessee shall either: (i) immediately cease such changed use or intensity of use
and/or take such other steps as may be necessary to eliminate the requirement
for such Capital Expenditure, or (ii) complete such Capital Expenditure at its
own expense. Lessee shall not, however, have any right to terminate this Lease.

         2.4      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been
advised by Lessor to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the
Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler
systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable
Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their suitability for
Lessee's intended use and (be) neither Lessor, Lessor's agents, nor Brokers have
made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said
matters other than as set forth in this Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges
that: (i) Brokers have made no representations, promises or warranties
concerning Lessee's ability to honor the Lease or suitability to occupy the
Premises, and (ii) it is Lessor's sole responsibility to investigate the
financial capability and/or suitability of all proposed tenants.

3.       TERM. See Addendum Section 1

         3.1      TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term
of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.

         3.2      Intentionally Deleted

         3.3      DELAY IN POSSESSION. Lessor agrees to use its best
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee
by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver
possession by such date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor,
nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease. Lessee shall not,
however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until Lessor
delivers possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement that Lessee
would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession
and continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed
under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or
omissions of Lessee. If possession is not delivered within 30 days after the
Commencement Date, Lessee may at its option, by notice in writing within 10 days
after the end of such 30 day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
Parties shall be discharged from all obligations here under. If such written
notice is not received by Lessor within said 10 day period, Lessee's right to
cancel shall terminate. If possession of the Premises is not delivered within 90
days after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate unless other
agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing.

         3.4      LESSEE COMPLIANCE. Lessor shall not be required to deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation
to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5). Pending delivery of such
evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under this
Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent,
notwithstanding Lessor's election to withhold possession pending receipt of such
evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to perform any other
conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start Date shall
occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are
satisfied.

4.       RENT. See Addendum Section 2

         4.1.     RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor
under the terms of this Lease deemed to be rent ("RENT").

         4.2      PAYMENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by
Lessor in lawful money of the United States on or before the day on which it is
due, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in this
Lease). Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one
full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of
said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein
or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time designate in
writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less than the amount then due shall
not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of
Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that any check,
draft, or other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is dishonored
for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the sum of $25 in addition to any
Late Charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be
made by Lessee to be by cashier's check. Payments will be applied first to
accrued late charges and attorneys fees, second to accrued interest, then to
Base Rent and Operating Expense Increase, and any remaining amount to any other
outstanding charges or costs.

6.       USE.

         6.1      USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Agreed Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and
for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in
a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs
occupants of or causes damage to neighboring premises or properties. Lessor
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any written request for
a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same will not impair the
structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or the mechanical or
electrical systems therein, and/or is not significantly more burdensome to the
Premises. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor shall within 7 days after
such request give written notification of same, which notice shall include an
explanation of Lessor's objections to the change in the Agreed Use.

         6.2      HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

                  (a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste
whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, either
by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare,
the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law
theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons,
petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which
constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior
written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee's expense) with all
Applicable Requirements. "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use
of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires
a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or
business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or
(iii) the presence at the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to
which any Applicable Requirements requires that a notice be given to persons
entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably
required to be used in the normal course of the Agreed Use, ordinary office
supplies (copier toner, liquid paper, glue, etc.) and common household cleaning
materials, so long as such use is in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the Premises or
neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose
Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may condition its consent
to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional assurances as Lessor
reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and/or
the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability,
including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease
expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as concrete
encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit.

                  (b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on,
under or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Lessor,
Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor, and provide
Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it
has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance.

                  (c) LESSEE REMEDIATION. During the Lease term, Lessee shall
not cause or expressly allow any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released
in, on, under, or about the Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary
sewer system) and shall promptly, at Lessee's expense, comply with all
Applicable Requirements and take all investigatory and/or remedial action
reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the
cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or
monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or
materially contributed to by Lessee during the Lease term, or pertaining to or
involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of
this Lease, by or at Lessee's written direction.

                  (d) LESSEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless
from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages, liabilities,
judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees
arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by
or at Lessee's written direction during the Lease term (provided, however, that
Lessee shall have no liability under this Lease with respect to underground
migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from adjacent properties
not caused or contributed to by Lessee). Lessee's obligations shall include, but
not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person,
property or the environment created or expressly allowed by Lessee, and the cost
of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. NO TERMINATION,
CANCELLATION OR RELEASE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY LESSOR AND LESSEE SHALL
RELEASE LESSEE FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SO AGREED BY LESSOR IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF
SUCH AGREEMENT.

                  (e) LESSOR INDEMNIFICATION. Lessor and its successors and
assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and
lenders, harmless from and against any and all environmental damages, including
the cost of remediation, which are caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessor's obligations, as and when
required by the Applicable Requirements, shall include, but not be limited to,
the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement,
and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

                  (f) INVESTIGATIONS AND REMEDIATIONS. Lessor shall retain the
responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures required
by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the existence of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Commencement Date unless such
remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee's use (including
"Alterations", as defined in paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises during the
Lease term, in which event Lessee shall be responsible for such payment. Lessee
shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor, including
allowing Lessor and Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at
reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor's investigative and remedial
responsibilities.

                  (g) LESSOR TERMINATION OPTION. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition (see Paragraph 9.1(e)) occurs during the term of this Lease, unless
Lessee is legally responsible therefor as a result of any release by Lessee
occurring during the Lease term (in which case Lessee shall make the
investigation and remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under Paragraph 6.2(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option,
either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if
required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated
cost to remediate such condition exceeds 12 times the then monthly Base Rent or
$100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee, within 30 days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous
Substance Condition, of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date
60 days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give a
termination notice, Lessee may, within 10 days thereafter, give written notice
to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the
remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds an amount equal to 12
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall
provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within 30 days
following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as
reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not
give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof within the
time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's
notice of termination.

         6.3      LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, fully,
diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with all Applicable
Requirements, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or
rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants
which relate in any manner to the such Requirements, without regard to whether
such Requirements are now in effect or become effective after the Start Date.
Lessee shall, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide
Lessor with copies of all permits and other documents, and other information
evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by
Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with
copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice,
citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving the failure of
Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.

         6.4      INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE. Subject to Lessee's security
requirements, Lessor and Lessor's "LENDER" (as defined in Paragraph 30) and
consultants shall have the right to enter into Premises at any time, in the case
of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable notice, for
the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying
compliance by Lessee with this Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be
paid by Lessor, unless a violation of Applicable Requirements, or a Hazardous
Substance Condition (see paragraph 9.1). in either case caused by Lessee during
the Lease term, is found to exist or be imminent, or the inspection is requested
or ordered by a governmental authority. In such case, Lessee shall upon request
reimburse Lessor for the cost of such inspection, so long as such inspection is
reasonably related to the violation or contamination. In addition, Lessee shall
provide copies of all relevant material safety data sheets (MSDS) to Lessor
within 10 days of the receipt of a written request therefor.

                  (a)IN GENERAL. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.2
(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 6.3 (Lessee's Compliance with Applicable
Requirements), 7.2 (Lessor's Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14
(Condemnation), Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, keep the Premises,
Utility Installations (intended for Lessee's exclusive use, no matter where
located), and Alterations in good order, condition and repair (whether or not
the portion of the Premises requiring repairs, or the means of repairing the
same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether or not the
need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the
elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including, but not limited
to, all equipment or facilities, such as plumbing, HVAC equipment, electrical,
lighting facilities, boilers, pressure vessels, fire protection system,
fixtures, walls (interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs, roof
drainage systems, floors, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping,
driveways, parking lots, fences, retaining walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways
located in, on, or adjacent to the Premises. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in
good order, condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance
practices, specifically including the procurement and maintenance of the service
contracts required by Paragraph 7.1 (b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee's obligations shall not include restorations, replacements or renewals
even if necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part
thereof in good order, condition and state of repair. Lessee shall, during the
term of this Lease, keep the exterior appearance of the Building in a
first-class condition (including, e.g. graffiti removal) consistent with the
exterior appearance of other similar facilities of comparable age and size in
the vicinity, excluding, however, the exterior repainting of the Building and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, other similar
modifications, replacements or improvements to any portion of the Premises to
the extent the same would consitute an improvement in the condition of the
Premises from the condition of the Premises on the Commencement Date.

                  (b) SERVICE CONTRACTS. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense,
procure and maintain contracts, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and
substance for, and with contractors specializing and experienced in the
maintenance of the following equipment and improvements, if any, if and when
installed on the Premises: (i) HVAC equipment, (ii) boiler, and pressure
vessels, (iii) fire extinguishing systems, including fire alarm and/or smoke
detection, (iv) landscaping and irrigation systems, (v) roof covering and
drains, (vi) clarifiers and (vii) basic utility feed to the perimeter of the
Building. However, Lessor reserves the right, upon notice to Lessee, to procure
and maintain any or all of such service contracts, and if Lessor so elects,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for the reasonable, actual cost
thereof.

                  (c) FAILURE TO PERFORM. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's
obligations under this Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after
10 days' prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in
which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's
behalf, and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, and Lessee
shall promptly pay to Lessor a sum equal to 105% of the cost thereof.

                  (d) REPLACEMENT. Subject to Lessee's indemnification of Lessor
as set forth in Paragraph 8.7 below, and without relieving Lessee of liability
resulting from Lessee's failure to exercise and perform good maintenance
practices, if an item described in Paragraph 7.1(b) cannot be repaired other
than at a cost which is in excess of 25% of the cost of replacing such item,
then such item shall be replaced by Lessor at lessor's sole cost.

         7.2      LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of this
Paragraph 7 and Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 9 (Damage or
Destruction), 14 (Condemnation) and the Addendum, it is intended by the Parties
hereto that Lessor have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to maintain the
Premises, or the equipment therein, all of which obligations are intended to be
that of the Lessee. It is the intention of the Parties that the terms of this
Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance and
repair of the Premises, and they expressly waive the benefit of any statute now
or hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this
Lease.

         7.3      UTILITY INSTALLATIONS; TRADE FIXTURES; ALTERATIONS.

                  (a) DEFINITIONS. The term "UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" refers to
all floor and window coverings, air and/or vacuum lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security and fire protection systems, communication
cabling, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and fencing in or on the
Premises. The term "TRADE FIXTURES" shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment
that can be removed without doing material damage to the Premises. The term
"ALTERATIONS" shall mean any modification of the improvements during the Lease
term, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by addition or
deletion. "LESSEE OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). See Addendum Sections 4 and 5.

                  (b) CONSENT. Lessee shall not make any Alterations or Utility
Installations to the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, which may
be withheld in lessor's sole discretion. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding
the roof) without such consent but upon notice to Lessor, as long as they are
not visible from the outside, do not involve puncturing, relocating or removing
the roof or any existing load-bearing walls, will not affect the electrical,
plumbing, HVAC, and/or life safety systems, and the cumulative cost thereof
during this Lease as extended does not exceed a sum equal to 3 month's Base Rent
in the aggregate or a sum equal to one month's Base Rent in any one year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not make or permit any roof
penetrations and/or install anything on the roof without the prior written
approval of Lessor. Lessor may, as a precondition to granting such approval,
require Lessee to utilize a contractor chosen and/or approved by Lessor. Any
Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee shall desire to make and which
require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written form
with detailed plans. Consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's: (i)
acquiring all applicable governmental permits, (ii) furnishing Lessor with
copies of both the permits and the plans and specifications prior to
commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all conditions of said
permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and expeditious manner.
Any Alterations or Utility Installations shall be performed in a workmanlike
manner with good and sufficient materials. Lessee shall promptly upon completion
furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications. For work which costs an
amount in excess of one month's Base Rent, Lessor may condition its consent upon
Lessee providing a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to 150% of the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's
posting an additional Security Deposit with Lessor.

                  (c) LIENS; BONDS. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for
labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or at the
written direction of Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or
may be secured by any mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or
any interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than 10 days notice
prior to the commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall
contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at
its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the
same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered
thereon before the enforcement thereof.

         7.4      OWNERSHIP; REMOVAL; SURRENDER; AND RESTORATION.

                  (a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require removal or
elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility
Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee, but considered a
part of the Premises. Lessor may, at the time of lessor's consent thereto, elect
in writing to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per paragraph
7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at
the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and
be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises.

                  (b) REMOVAL. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from
Lessor at the time of lessor's consent to such item Lessor may require that any
or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the
expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any
time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations
made without the required consent. See Addendum Section 3.

                  (c) SURRENDER; RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the
Premises in the same condition as delivered to Lessee on the Start Date with NO
allowance for ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall repair any damage occasioned
by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee owned
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made or installed during the lease
term, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank
installed by or for Lessee. Lessee shall remove from the Premises any and all
Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises during the lease term by or at
the written direction of Lessee to the extent required by law. Trade Fixtures
shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. Any personal
property of Lessee not removed on or before the Expiration Date or any earlier
termination date shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may be
disposed of or retained by Lessor as Lessor may desire. The failure by Lessee to
timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express
written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under the provisions of
Paragraph 26 below.

8.       INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.

         8.1      PAYMENT FOR INSURANCE. Lessee shall pay for all insurance
required under Paragraph 8 except to the extent of the cost attributable to
liability insurance carried by Lessor under Paragraph 8.2(b). Premiums for
policy periods commencing prior to or extending beyond the Lease term shall be
prorated to correspond to the Lease term, if applicable. Payment shall be made
by Lessee to Lessor within 10 days following receipt of an invoice, if
applicable.

         8.2      LIABILITY INSURANCE.

                  (a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a
Commercial General Liability policy of insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor as
an additional insured against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or
maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance
shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not
less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than
$2,000,000, an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement"
and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion Endorsement" for damage
caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain
any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but
shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured
contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this
Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of
Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance carried by
Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance
carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.

                  (b)      CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall maintain liability
insurance as described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as
an additional insured therein.

         8.3      PROPERTY INSURANCE - BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.

                  (a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain
and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable
to Lessor, any ground-lessor, and to any Lender insuring loss or damage to the
Premises (except as provided in Section 8.4(a)). The amount of such insurance
shall be equal to the full replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall
exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender, but in no event
more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof. If
Lessor is the Insuring Party, however, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be insured
by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is
available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure
against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood
and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for debris
removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the
upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the
Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also
contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver
of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the
city nearest to where the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a
deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence,
and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an Insured
Loss.

                  (b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in
force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and
any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for six (6) months with an
extended period of indemnity for an additional 180 days ("Rental Value
insurance"). Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu
of any coinsurance clause. Lessor shall be liable for any deductible amount in
the event of such loss.

         8.4      LESSEE'S PROPERTY; INSURANCE.

                  (a) PROPERTY DAMAGE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain
insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures, and
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Such insurance shall be full
replacement cost coverage with a commercially reasonable deductible. The
proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the replacement of
personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such
insurance is in force.

                  (c) NO REPRESENTATION OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Lessor makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified
herein are adequate to cover Lessee's property, business operations or
obligations under this Lease.

         8.5      INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required herein shall be by
companies duly licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where the
Premises are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General
Policyholders Rating" of at least B+, V, as set forth in the most current issue
of "Best's Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be required by a
Lender. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the
required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Commencement Date,
deliver to Lessor certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the
required insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction
of coverage below the lease requirements except after 30 days prior written
notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of such
policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance binders"
evidencing renewal thereof, or upon written notice and expiration of a
reasonable cure period Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost
thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of
the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail
to procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other
Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same upon
written notice and expiration of a reasonable cure period.

         8.6      WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage
to its property and lost Rent arising out of or incident to the perils required
to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not
limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles
applicable hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage
insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have
against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.

         8.7      INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's negligence or willful
misconduct (in which case lessor shall be responsible), Lessee shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's
master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all
claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys'
and consultants' fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or
in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee during
the lease term. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason
of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at
Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall
cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such
claim in order to be defended or indemnified. See Addendum Section 6.

         8.8      EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Except to the extent
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of lessor, Lessor shall not be
liable for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any
other person in the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused
by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers,
wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor.

9.       DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

         9.1      DEFINITIONS.

                  (a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction
to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in 26 months or less
from the date of the damage or destruction based upon an estimate from a
qualified contractor. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30 days from
the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial
or Total.

                  (b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in 26
months or less from the date of the damage or destruction based upon an estimate
from a qualified contractor. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30
days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage
is Partial or Total.

                  (c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be
covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of

any deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.

                  (d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and
without deduction for depreciation.

                  (e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence
or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises which requires repair, remediation, or restoration.

         9.2      PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage
that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair
such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost
to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any
applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in
force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the
Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to
the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to
complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact
that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost
insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall
have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully
restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with
the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within 10 days following
receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor
receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said 10 day period, the
party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by
written notice to Lessee within 10 days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration
and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in
proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or
(ii) have this Lease terminate 30 days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled
to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or
destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject
to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but
the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs
if made by either Party.

         9.3      PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense),
Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within
30 days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage.
Such termination shall be effective 30 days following the date of such notice.
In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right
within 10 days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to
Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or
satisfactory assurance thereof within 30 days after making such commitment. In
such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall
proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required
funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.

         9.4      TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate 30 days
following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to
recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.

         9.5      DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last 36
months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one
month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor or Lessee may
terminate this Lease effective 60 days following the date of occurrence of such
damage by giving a written termination notice within 30 days after the date of
occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time
has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then
Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b) providing
Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds below the amount required
hereunder to be maintained by lessor (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to
make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is 10 days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease,
or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance
during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the
termination notice and Lessee's option shall be extinguished.

         9.6      ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

                  (a) ABATEMENT. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or
Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee
is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period
required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by
Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage, destruction,
remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.

                  (b) REMEDIES. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or
restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way,
such repair or restoration within 30 days after such obligation shall accrue,
Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration,
give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual
notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than
15 days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and
such repair or restoration is not commenced within 15 days thereafter, this
Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair or
restoration is commenced within such 15 days, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect provided that Lessor diligently prosecutes the same to
completion. "Commence" shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the
preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the
Premises, whichever first occurs.

         9.7      TERMINATION; ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be
made concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee
to Lessor.

         9.8      WAIVE STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this
Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises
with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of
any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.

10.      REAL PROPERTY TAXES. See Addendum Section 2.2.

         10.1     DEFINITION. As used herein, the term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES"
shall include any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or
estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied
against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or the
Project, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of
leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where
the funds are generated with reference to the Building address and where the
proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local
taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. Real
Property Taxes shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or
any increase therein: (i) imposed by reason of events occurring during the term
of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the
Premises, and (ii) levied or assessed on machinery or equipment provided by
Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease.

         10.2     PAYMENT OF TAXES. In addition to Base Rent, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor an amount equal to the Real Property Tax installment concurrently with
Operating Expenses payable hereunder. If any such installment shall cover any
period of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Lessee's share of such installment shall be prorated.

         10.3     JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be reasonably determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available.

         10.4     PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay, prior to
delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned
Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and
all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately
from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee's property within 30 days after receipt of a written
statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.

11.      UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat,
light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services
are not separately metered or billed to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable
proportion, to be determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered or
billed. There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor shall not be liable in
any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or
discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute,
breakdown, accident, repair

or other cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control or in cooperation with
governmental request or directions. See Addendum Section 7.

12.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         12.1     LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.

                  (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "ASSIGN OR ASSIGNMENT") or
sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent, which may be withheld in lessor's sole
discretion.

                  (b) Intentionally Deleted

                  (c) Intentionally Deleted

                  (d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at
Lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c).

                  (e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.

         12.2     Intentionally Omitted

         12.3     ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

                  (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect
such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided,
however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. In the event that the amount
collected by Lessor exceeds Lessee's obligations any such excess shall be
refunded to Lessee. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing or any
assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed
liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any
of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes
and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor
stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to
Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach
exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary.

                  (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its
option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches
of such sublessor.

                  (c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor.

                  (d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.

                  (e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or
Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default
of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice.

13.      DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES. See Addendum Section 6.

         13.1     DEFAULT; BREACH. A "DEFAULT" is defined as a failure by the
Lessee to comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A "BREACH" is defined as the occurrence
of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such
Default within any applicable grace period:

                  (a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the
Premises, in either case, without providing a commercially reasonable level of
security, or where the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph
8.3 is jeopardized as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable
assurances to minimize potential vandalism.

                  (b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent required
to be made by Lessee hereunder, within five (5) days after notice the same is
due, to provide reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond, or to fulfill
any obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property,
where such failure continues for a period of 103 business days following written
notice to Lessee.

                  (c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written
evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts,
(iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) an
Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination per the terms hereof, (vi)
evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested
under Paragraph 42, (viii) material safety data sheets (MSDS), or (ix) any other
documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under
the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of 10
business days following written notice to Lessee.

                  (d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, Covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1 (a). (b) or (c), above, where
such Default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach
if Lessee commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

                  (e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) becoming a "DEBTOR" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any Successor
statute thereto(unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same
is  dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver
to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored
to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30
days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph
(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
effect, and not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions.

<PAGE>

         13.2     REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative
duties or obligations, within 10 days after written notice (or in case of an
emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or
obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of
reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits
or approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor in such performance within ten (10) business
days of an invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or
without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of
any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:

                  (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be
entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at
the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves
could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award
plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's
Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under
Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may
reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a
notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given,
a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the
unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph
13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and
the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee
to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall
constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor
to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

                  (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and
recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet,
and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall
not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

                  (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's
right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity
provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

         13.3     Intentionally Deleted.

         13.4     LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor within 105 days after receipt of written notice
that such amount is due, then, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a
one-time late charge equal to 3% of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever
is greater. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late
payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

         13.5     INTEREST. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other
than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments
(such as Base Rent) or within 30 days following the date on which it was due for
non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to
scheduled payments, or the 31st day after it was due as to non-scheduled
payments. The interest ("INTEREST") charged shall be computed at the rate of 10%
per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is
payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

         13.6     BREACH BY LESSOR.

                  (a) NOTICE OF BREACH. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of
this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable
time shall in no event exceed 30 days after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender
whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such
purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not
been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is
such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its performance, then
Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such 30 day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

                  (b) PERFORMANCE BY LESSEE ON BEHALF OF LESSOR. In the event
that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of
said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it
to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's expense and
offset from Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure, provided
however, that such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to three (3) month's
Base Rent, reserving Lessee's right to seek reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee
shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.

14.      CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (collectively "CONDEMNATION"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part
taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession,
whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the Building, or more than 25% of
that portion of the Premises not occupied by any building (including the parking
area) or so much of the parking area as to reduce parking level below legal
requirements is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be
exercised in writing within 10 days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 10 days after
the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of
the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not
terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except
that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of
the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments
shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part
taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be
entitled to any compensation for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business
goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is
terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and
Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of
Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee
shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the
event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor
shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation.

15.      BROKERAGE FEES.

Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has

had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers,
if any) in connection with Lease, and that no one other than said named Brokers
is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith. Lessee and
Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other
harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be
claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of
any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs,
expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

16.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

                  (a) Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within 10 days
after written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY") execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form
similar to the then most current "ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE" form published by the
American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information,
confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting
Party.

                  (b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver
the Estoppel Certificate within such 10 day period, the Requesting Party may
execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and
effect without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting
Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party's performance,
and (iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month's rent has
been paid in advance. Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the
Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be
estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate.

17.      DEFINITION OF LESSOR. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if
this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of
a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor
shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused
Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the
prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations
and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.
Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be
performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove
defined.

18.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this LEASE, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

19.      DAYS. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word
"days" as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.

20.      LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The obligations of Lessor under this Lease
shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessor or its partners, members,
directors, officers or shareholders. The Obligations of Lessee under this LEASE
shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessee's partners, members,
directors, officers or shareholders. Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to
no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any liability of Lessor with
respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against Lessor's partners,
members, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets
for such satisfaction. See Addendum Section 9.

21.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect
to the performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties
under this Lease.

22.      NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains
all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein,
and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be
effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it
has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease
and as to the use, nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have
no responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs and attorneys'
fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or
modification hereto shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such
Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any negligence or willful
misconduct of such Broker.

23.      NOTICES.

         23.1     NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this
Lease or applicable law shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by
hand or by courier) or may be sent by, certified or registered mail or U.S.
Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission,
and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this
Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease
shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party
may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice. A
copy of all notices to Lessor shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or
parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate in
writing.

         23.2     DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery
shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark
thereon. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier
that guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given 1 business day after
delivery of the same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices transmitted by
facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered upon telephone
confirmation of receipt (confirmation report from fax machine is sufficient),
provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on
a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next
business day.

24.      WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or Lessee of the default or breach of any
term, covenant or condition hereof by the other party, shall be deemed a waiver
of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or
Breach by the other party of the same or of any other term, covenant or
condition hereof. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be
deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval
of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default
or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account
of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or
conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or
conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed
to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.

25.      DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE NATURE OF A REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP.

                  (a)      When entering into a discussion with a real estate
agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the
outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with
the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being
advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:

                           (i)      Lessor's Agent. A Lessor's agent under a
listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A
Lessor's agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the
Lessor: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in
dealings with the Lessor. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of
reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of
honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to
the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that
are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the
Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential
information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative
duties set forth above.

                           (ii)     Lessee's Agent. An agent can agree to act as
agent for the Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's
agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services
rendered, either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a
Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary
duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the
Lessee. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills
and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair
dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent
materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not
known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An
agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information
obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set
forth above.

                           (iii)    Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A
real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate
licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a
transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the
Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative
obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost
care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the
Lessee, b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in

other Party that the Lessor will accept rent in an amount less than that
indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing to pay a higher rent than
that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not
relieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own
interests. Lessor and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that
they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate
agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice
is desired, consult a competent professional.

                  (b)      Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any
default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs
and attorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or
omission relating to this Lease shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker
pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each
Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any negligence or willful
misconduct of such Broker.

26.      NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease.
In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to
150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the expiration or
termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to
any holding over by Lessee.

27.      CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

28.      COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS; CONSTRUCTION OF AGREEMENT. All provisions of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and
conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the
convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this
Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural
and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the
Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties
had prepared it.

29.      BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.

30.      SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.

         30.1     SUBORDINATION. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 30.3
below, This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate
to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security
device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now or hereafter placed upon the
Premises, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders
of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as "LENDER")
shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of
Lessor under this Lease until such time as such holders succeed to Lessor's
interest hereunder. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option
granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written
notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

         30.2     ATTORNMENT. In the event that Lessor transfers title to the
Premises, or the Premises are acquired by another upon the foreclosure or
termination of a Security Device to which this Lease is subordinated (i) Lessee
shall, subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, attorn to
such new owner, and upon request, enter into a new lease, containing all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the
term hereof, or, at the election of such new owner, this Lease shall
automatically become a new Lease between Lessee and such new owner, upon all of
the terms and conditions hereof, for the remainder of the term hereof, and (ii)
Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations hereunder
provided that such new owner shall assume all of Lessor's obligations hereunder.

         30.3     NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into
by Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this
Lease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance
agreement (a "NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance
Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long
as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises. Further, within 10 days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor
shall obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing
Security Device which is secured by the Premises.

         30.4     SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a
sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.

31.      ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party brings an action or proceeding involving
the Premises whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights
hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding,
action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such
fees may be awarded in the same suit Or recovered in a separate suit, whether or
not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
"PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party who substantially
obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise,
settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party of its claim or
defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any
court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of proper notices of
Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action
is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach
($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence for such services and
consultation).

32.      LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable prior notice for
the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants,
and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises
as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and
maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises
and/or other premises as long as there is no (and landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any) adverse effect to Lessee's use of
the Premises. All such activities shall be without abatement of rent or
liability to Lessee.

33.      AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any
auction upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall
not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining
whether to permit an auction.

34.      SIGNS. Lessor may place on the Premises ordinary "For Sale" signs at
any time and ordinary "For Lease" signs during the last 6 months of the term
hereof. Except for ordinary "for sublease" signs, Lessee shall not place any
sign upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. All signs must
comply with all Applicable Requirements. See Addendum Section 5.

35.      TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within 10 days following any such event
to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser
interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event constitute the
termination of such interest.

36.      CONSENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease
the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual
reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects',
attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the
consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent,
including but not limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the
presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt
of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any
act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no
Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall
not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or
other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter
for which consent is being given. In the event that either Party disagrees with
any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the
reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons
in writing and in reasonable detail within 10 business days following such
request.

37.      GUARANTOR.

         37.1     EXECUTION. The Guarantors, if any, shall each execute a
guaranty in the form most recently published by the American Industrial Real
Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the same obligations as
Lessee under this Lease.

         37.2     DEFAULT. It shall constitute a Default of the Lessee if any
Guarantor fails or refuses, upon request to provide: (a) evidence of the
execution of the guaranty, including the authority of the party signing on
Guarantor's behalf to obligate Guarantor, and in the case of a corporate
Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the making of such guaranty, (b) current financial statements, (c)
an Estoppel Certificate, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty is still
in effect.

38.      QUIET POSSESSION. Subject to payment by Lessee of the Rent and
performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the term hereof.

39.      OPTIONS. If Lessee is granted an Option, as defined below, then the
following provisions shall apply: See Addendum Section 8.

         39.1     DEFINITION. "OPTION" shall mean: (a) the right to extend the
term of or renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on
other property of Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal or first offer to lease
either the Premises or other property of Lessor; (c) the right to purchase or
the right of first refusal to purchase the Premises or other property of Lessor.

         39.2     Intentionally Deleted

         39.3     MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless
the prior Options have been validly exercised.

         39.4     EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

                  (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option: (i)
during the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default and
continuing until said Default is cured, (ii) during the period of time any Rent
is unpaid (without regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii)
during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease.

                  (b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39 4(a).

40.      Intentionally Deleted

41.      SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the Rent payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties.

42.      RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time,
to grant, without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and
dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel
maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and
restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.

43.      PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay.

44.      AUTHORITY; MULTIPLE PARTIES; EXECUTION.

                  (a)      If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust,
limited liability company, partnership, or similar entity, such entity
represents and warrants that the parties executing this lease are duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf. Each party shall,
within 30 days after request, deliver to the other party satisfactory evidence
of such authority.

                  (b)      If this Lease is executed by more than one person or
entity as "Lessee", each such person or entity shall be jointly and severally
liable hereunder. It is agreed that any one of the named Lessees shall be
empowered to execute any amendment to this Lease, or other document ancillary
thereto and bind all of the named Lessees, and Lessor may rely on the same as if
all of the named Lessees had executed such document.

                  (c)      This Lease may be executed by the Parties in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

45.      CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and
typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or
handwritten provisions.

46.      OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by either Party or their agent and
submission of same to the other Party shall not be deemed an offer to lease to
the other Party. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and
delivered by all Parties hereto.

47.      AMENDMENTS. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
Parties in interest at the time of the modification. As long as Lessee
determines they do not change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to
make such reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be
reasonably required by a Lender in connection with the obtaining of normal
financing or refinancing of the Premises.

48.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THE PROPERTY OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

49.      MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. An Addendum requiring the
Mediation and/or the Arbitration of all disputes between the Parties and/or
Brokers arising out of this Lease [ ] IS [X] IS NOT attached to this Lease.

50.      AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. Since compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) is dependent upon Lessee's specific use of the
Premises, Lessor makes no warranty or representation as to whether or not the
Premises comply with ADA or any similar legislation. In the event that any
governmental agency determines that Lessee's specific use of the Premises
requires modifications or additions to the Premises in order to be in ADA
compliance, Lessee agrees to make any such necessary modifications and/or
additions at Lessee's expense.

                                ADDENDUM TO LEASE

         This ADDENDUM TO LEASE ("ADDENDUM") is made by and between LBA
INDUSTRIAL FUND - CANYON, INC., a Delaware corporation ("LESSOR"), and ASHWORTH,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("LESSEE"), and is intended to supplement that
certain printed form Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease-Net
between Lessor and Lessee dated, for reference purposes only, February 24, 2004
to which this Addendum is annexed. All references to the "Lease" shall be deemed
to include this Addendum unless reference is made to a specific Paragraph of the
printed form or the context indicates otherwise. Any word or phrases defined in
the printed form shall have the same meaning when used in this Addendum. If
there is any inconsistency between this Addendum and the printed form, the terms
of this Addendum shall supersede and control. Lessor and Lessee agree as
follows:

         1.       LEASE TERM/COMMENCEMENT DATE. The term "COMMENCEMENT DATE"
means the date upon which the "Closing" occurs under (and as defined in) that
certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 2, 2003 between Lessee,
as "Seller", and Lessor, as "Buyer" (as amended, the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). The
Commencement Date is anticipated to be in March, 2004.

         2.       LESSOR EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, Lessee shall not be responsible for or obligated to pay
any of the following:

                           2.1.1    costs incurred by Lessor for the repair of
damage to the Building which is covered by the insurance carried by Lessor or
Lessee pursuant to this Lease or otherwise;

                           2.1.2    the cost of any item reimbursable by

paid to Lessor, to affiliates or partners of Lessor, partners or affiliates of

as the case may be, of such goods and/or services rendered by unaffiliated third
parties on a competitive basis;

                           2.1.4    costs, penalties, fines, or awards and

the Building, violations of law, negligence or inability or unwillingness to
make payments and/or to file any income tax, other tax or informational returns
when due;

                           2.1.5    costs arising from the presence or removal

intentional acts of Lessor or its agents, or any vendors, contractors, or

which it is located, or taxes or assessments levied in lieu thereof, or in
addition thereto, (v) any other taxes or assessments charged or levied against
Lessor which are not directly incurred as a result of the operation of the
Building, (vi) any real estate taxes directly payable by Lessee or any third
party, and (vii) any Real Property Taxes attributable to a reassessment of the
Premises or any part thereof as a result of Proposition 13 or otherwise

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in Paragraph 7.4(b) of this Lease if
Lessor expressly consents to any Alteration or Utility Installations constructed
or installed by Lessee, Lessor shall notify Lessee at the time of giving such
consent whether or not Lessor will require the removal of the Alteration or
Utility Installation upon expiration of this Lease, and Lessor's failure to so
notify Lessee shall constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to require Lessee to
remove such Alteration or Utility Installation upon expiration of this Lease. In
addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph
7.4 of this Lease, prior to the expiration of the Lease term, Lessee shall cause
the existing mezzanine racking system in the 2793 Loker Avenue building of the
Premises to be removed and shall repair all damage resulting from such removal.

         4.       ROOFTOP COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT. Subject to compliance with
the provisions of Paragraph 7.3 of this Lease, Lessee shall have the exclusive
right and access to repair, replace, remove, operate and maintain the
communication equipment existing on the roof of the Premises on the Commencement
Date, together with all cable, wiring, conduits and related equipment
(collectively, "COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT"), for the purpose of receiving and
sending radio, television, computer, telephone or other communication signals to
and from the Premises, in the existing location thereof on the roof of the
Building. Such use of the roof for Communication Equipment shall be at no
additional charge to Lessee.

         5.       SIGNAGE. Subject to compliance with the provisions of
Paragraph 7.3 of this Lease, Lessee shall be entitled to any building and
monument signage permitted by applicable laws and codes, and subject to approval
by any governmental authorities whose approval of such signage is required, in
locations reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Lessee. Lessee shall pay for all
costs relating to the design, fabrication, installation, permitting, maintaining
and removal of the signage. All signage shall comply with the Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall remove all signage and repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

         6.       LESSOR INDEMNITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, and except for Lessee's negligence or willful
misconduct, Lessor shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Lessee and
its agents, partners and employees from and against any and all claims, loss of
income and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection
with, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. If any action or
proceeding is brought against Lessee by reason of any of the foregoing matters,
Lessor shall upon notice defend the same at Lessor's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee and Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in such
defense. Lessee need not have first paid such claim in order to be defended or
indemnified.

         7.       ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING UTILITIES. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 11 of this Lease, in the event
of an interruption in Lease's utilities or any other interruption of this
Lease's ability to use the Premises to the full extent permitted under this
Lease that continues for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days, Lessee
shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent to the extent such Rent is covered by
the Rental Interruption Insurance carried pursuant to Paragraph 8.3(b) of this
Lease.

         8.       OPTION TO EXTEND. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 39 of
this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to extend the Original Term for one
additional term of sixty (60) days by written notice delivered to Lessor no
later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the Original Term. If
Lessee fails to give such written notice during the prescribed time period, such
option right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and Lessee
shall not have any other right to extend the Original Term. Except as provided
in this Section, if Lessee elects to extend the Original Term, all terms and
conditions of the Lease (including the amount of Base Rent payable under this
Lease during the Original Term) shall remain in effect during such extended term
except that upon expiration of such extension, Lessee shall have no further
right to extend the term of this Lease.

         9.       LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall Lessee have any liability
under this Lease with respect to any matter, event, action or claim occurring,
arising or relating to any period of time prior to the Commencement Date, all of
which Shall be subject to the terms of and addressed in the Purchase Agreement.

         10.      INTERPRETATION. Each party acknowledges that the terms of this
Lease have been negotiated and that any rule of construction or interpretation
of a written document against the drafts person shall not apply to the
interpretation or application of this Lease. If any provision of this Lease is
determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable,
such provision shall be deemed to be severed and deleted, and neither such
provision, its severance nor deletion shall affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Lease so long as the primary consideration and rights
intended to be afforded each party are preserved.

         11.      PROTECTION OF AFFILIATES. Whenever in this Lease a party is
obligated to indemnify, defend and/or hold harmless another party, such
obligation to provide indemnification shall be deemed to include indemnification
of the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members and agents of the
party entitled to indemnification, who are expressly declared to be third party
beneficiaries of this Lease for purposes of the enforcement of such
indemnification rights.

         12.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease (including this Addendum) and all
other agreements expressly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to this Lease. All prior or contemporaneous
agreements, understandings, representations, warranties and statements, oral or
written, are superseded, and neither party shall have any right to rely on such
agreements, understandings, representations, warranties and statements in
entering into this Lease.

         13.      INDEMNIFICATION. Whenever in this Lease, a party is obligated
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless another party, such obligation to provide
indemnification specifically includes, but is not limited to, the obligation to
pay reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses on a continuing basis

expenses are incurred, and any dispute concerning the reasonableness of such
attorneys' fees and legal expenses shall be deferred and resolved upon the
conclusion of the applicable action or proceeding.

                               EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
                      AND SUPPLEMENTAL CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS

         This Exchange Agreement and Supplemental Closing Instructions dated
DECEMBER 3, 2003, is entered into by and between ASHWORTH, INC., A DELAWARE
CORPORATION (hereinafter "EXCHANGER") and ASSET PRESERVATION, INC., a California
corporation, (hereinafter "API"). Exchanger and API are collectively known as
the parties to this Exchange Agreement.

                                    RECITALS

         A. Exchanger is the present owner of that certain real property located
in the County of SAN DIEGO, State of CALIFORNIA, commonly known as 2791 & 2793
LOKER AVENUE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA 92008, hereinafter "RELINQUISHED PROPERTY".

         B. Exchanger and LBA INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, Purchaser, have
entered into a Real Property Sale Agreement wherein Purchaser has agreed to
acquire the Relinquished Property.

         C. Exchanger desires to exchange the Relinquished Property for other
real property of like kind to effectuate a Tax Deferred Exchange pursuant to the
provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         D. Exchanger desires to transfer all of its right, title and/or
ownership interest in the Relinquished Property to API in consideration of, and
in exchange for, the transfer by API to Exchanger of title and/or ownership
interest in one or more properties of like kind to be located and identified by
Exchanger and acquired by API pursuant to Section III below (hereinafter
"REPLACEMENT PROPERTY"). In consideration for the fee to be paid by Exchanger,
as set forth in Section V.M. of this Agreement, API desires to accept the
Relinquished Property transferred and to acquire and transfer to Exchanger
Replacement Property under the terms and conditions stated below.

         E. API is a corporation in good standing, doing business under the laws
of the State of California and acts as a "Qualified Intermediary" pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 and is solely in the business of facilitating
tax deferred exchanges.

                                    AGREEMENT

I.       RELINQUISHED PROPERTY

         A. Assignment. Exchanger and API have by an assignment agreement,
attached hereto as ADDENDUM "A", assigned the Real Property Sale Agreement,
including any deposits provided for therein, to API, thereby substituting API in
place of Exchanger as Seller. API assumes the rights of the Seller except as
limited by the terms and conditions of this Exchange Agreement and Supplemental
Closing Instructions. Exchanger and API will execute the assignment agreement,
and API agrees that it will give notice of the assignment to all parties to the
Real Property Sale Agreement prior to the transactions described herein.

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

         B. Sale of Relinquished Property. API agrees to acquire ownership
interest in and/or title to the Relinquished Property immediately prior to API's
transfer of such property to the Purchaser, unless the parties elect to direct
deed, pursuant to Section I.D. below. API, pursuant to Section I.C., is formally
substituted as the Seller in the closing.

         API will transfer ownership interest and/or title of the Relinquished
Property to the Purchaser under the exact terms and conditions of the Real
Property Sale Agreement.

         C. Substitution of Seller - Assignment of Closing Instructions.
Exchanger and API shall execute ADDENDUM "B" to this Agreement (Amendment to
Closing Instructions-Assignment and Substitution of Seller-Direct Deed), which
formally substitutes API as Seller with the Closing Agent. API shall instruct
Closing Agent to (1.) Retain a copy of said Addendum "B" as its authorization to
accept API as the Seller in said closing transaction, and (2.) Obtain
Exchanger's approval and API's signature as the Qualified Intermediary for
Exchanger on all seller statements and/or closing documents prior to the
closing.

         D. Deeding. Exchanger and API shall instruct Closing Agent to prepare
an instrument transferring legal title directly from Exchanger to Purchaser
pursuant to and consistent with and pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.1031 (k)-1(g)(4)(iv), to avoid the duplication of transfer taxes and recording
fees. Closing Agent shall also be instructed not to record such an instrument in
the name of API unless directed to do so in writing by Exchanger and API.

         E. Survival of Terms. All representations, covenants and warranties,
expressed or implied, with respect to the Relinquished Property and the
transactions contemplated by the Real Property Sale Agreement and this Exchange
Agreement and Supplemental Closing Instructions shall survive the transfers of
the Relinquished Property by Exchanger to API and by API to the Purchaser.
Except for the right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits
of the money or other property received by API in connection with its sale of
the Relinquished Property prior to the time specified in II.B. hereof, all
rights, remedies, liabilities and obligations arising therefrom are hereby
assigned and delegated by API to Exchanger and hereby assumed by Exchanger
effective immediately after the closing of the sale of the Relinquished Property
to the Purchaser.

         F. Failure to Close. In the event that the closing for the transfer of
the Relinquished Property from API to Purchaser does not close on or before the
agreed upon date, and the parties do not mutually agree to extend the closing
date, this Exchange Agreement shall be rescinded.

         G. Concurrent Transfer of Replacement Property. In the event Exchanger
locates suitable Replacement Property prior to close of closing and transfer of
the Relinquished Property, wherein the close of closing for the purchase of the
Replacement Property will occur concurrent with the close of closing for the
sale of the Relinquished Property, API shall acquire the designated Replacement
Property with funds received from the Purchaser for the sale of the Relinquished
Property, and thereafter convey the Replacement Property to Exchanger, or a
limited liability company of which Exchanger is the sole member and which is
disregarded as an entity separate from Exchanger as provided in Treasury
Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b), for a concurrent transfer and conveyance by
Exchanger of the Relinquished Property to API. The parties agree to execute such
closing instructions as required to effect this concurrent exchange of
properties. In the event of a concurrent closing of both the Relinquished
Property and the Replacement Property, Sections II and III. below will not
apply.

                                      -2-

II. APPLICATION OF EXCHANGE PROCEEDS

    A. Application of Exchange Proceeds. Upon the Relinquished Property closing,
API shall hold the exchange proceeds for the benefit of Exchanger, to be applied
to one or more items of the Replacement Property. Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions of Section II.C..
below, Exchanger shall be entitled to receive only the Replacement Property and
not cash or other property.

    B. Cash. All net cash exchange proceeds resulting from the closing of the
Relinquished Property shall immediately upon closing be wire transferred
directly to the Qualified Exchange Account, as follows:

       1.       Cash. All net cash exchange proceeds resulting from
                the closing of the Relinquished Property shall immediately upon
                closing be wire transferred directly to the Qualified Exchange
                Account, as follows:

                  A.       Qualified Exchange Account. Exchanger and API hereby
                           agree that a "QUALIFIED EXCHANGE ACCOUNT" ("Account")
                           shall be established in the name of API for the
                           benefit of Exchanger. The Account shall be
                           established with Comerica Bank-California
                           ("COMERICA"), in an interest bearing account. The
                           Account will be established for the purpose of
                           holding cash proceeds from the sale of the
                           Relinquished Property, and as such, the Account shall
                           conform to the Restrictions on Use of Sales Proceeds
                           During Exchange, set forth in this Section II. In
                           order to open the Account, Exchanger shall execute
                           the document entitled "NEW ACCOUNT FORM" ("NEW
                           ACCOUNT FORM"), attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and
                           incorporated herein by reference as though set forth
                           herein verbatim.

                  B.       Withdrawal of Funds. Exchanger and API agree that
                           funds deposited in the Account may be disbursed only
                           when API has received API's form entitled "REQUEST
                           FOR FUNDS" ("WITHDRAWAL FORM") which has been signed
                           by Exchanger. This requirement is in addition to all
                           other provisions of this Agreement concerning
                           disbursement of exchange proceeds, except that
                           Exchanger understands and agrees that if funds remain
                           in the Account after the end of the Exchange Period
                           (defined in Section III.A. hereof), the Account will
                           be closed and a check will automatically be issued to
                           Exchanger in the full amount of any remaining funds,
                           including accrued interest. (The Withdrawal Form is
                           Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by
                           reference as though set forth herein verbatim.)

                  C.       SIGNATURES REQUIRED FOR WITHDRAWAL. EXCHANGER MAY
                           SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES THAT SHALL BE
                           REQUIRED ON THE WITHDRAWAL FORM IN ORDER TO AUTHORIZE
                           DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FROM THE ACCOUNT. IF EXCHANGER
                           WISHES TO SO SPECIFY, EXCHANGER MUST NOTIFY API OF
                           THE NUMBER SIGNATURES THAT SHALL BE REQUIRED, IN A
                           WRITING SIGNED BY ALL SIGNATORIES FOR EXCHANGER. IF
                           EXCHANGER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES
                           REQUIRED, API WILL REQUIRE THE SIGNATURES OF ALL
                           PERSONS WHO HAVE SIGNED THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE API
                           WILL AUTHORIZE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FROM THE
                           ACCOUNT.

<PAGE>

                  D.       NOTARIZED SIGNATURES UPON WITHDRAWAL. API RESERVES
                           THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THAT THE SIGNATURE(S) OF
                           EXCHANGER ON THE WITHDRAWAL FORM BE ACKNOWLEDGED
                           BEFORE A NOTARY PUBLIC BEFORE API CAUSES ANY FUNDS TO
                           BE RELEASED FROM THE ACCOUNT. EXCHANGER ALSO HAS THE
                           RIGHT, UPON PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO API, TO REQUIRE
                           THAT API NOT RELEASE ANY FUNDS HELD BY API UNLESS API
                           HAS RECEIVED THE WITHDRAWAL FORM SIGNED AND
                           ACKNOWLEDGED BEFORE A NOTARY PUBLIC. IF EXCHANGER
                           DOES NOT SPECIFY WHETHER API SHALL REQUIRE
                           NOTARIZATION OF EXCHANGER'S SIGNATURE(S) ON THE
                           WITHDRAWAL FORM, NOTARIZATION SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED.

                  E.       Transfer of Funds. Exchanger agrees that API shall
                           have the right, upon prior written notice to
                           Exchanger, to transfer any or all funds held by API
                           from Comerica into a Qualified Exchange Account with
                           another financial institution which, in the
                           discretion of API, is of similar credit quality to
                           Comerica. API anticipates that such a transfer will
                           be made only if, in the judgment of API, Comerica is
                           unable to provide adequate service, or an adequate
                           money market rate of return, with regard to the
                           Account.

                  F.       Miscellaneous. Exchanger agrees that, at API's
                           option, API's fees for this transaction, as set forth
                           in Section V.M. hereof, may be deducted from the
                           funds held in the Account. Upon the completion of the
                           number of days set forth in Section V.M.(5) of this
                           Agreement, the Account will be registered with
                           Exchanger's federal Taxpayer I.D. Number(s).
                           Thereupon, all interest and tax reporting will be
                           directed to Exchanger. The Account and the
                           arrangements made in this paragraph are subject to
                           Federal and California Banking laws and regulations.
                           Any changes made in these laws or regulations may
                           affect this Account and Comerica's ability to provide
                           these services.

       2.       Promissory Notes and Other Property. Closing Agent for the
                Relinquished Property shall be instructed to notify API
                immediately if there is consideration other than cash, including
                but not limited to a promissory note, unless instructions
                regarding such consideration have been previously issued. Unless
                otherwise instructed in writing by Exchanger and API, promissory
                notes and other property which are proceeds from the
                Relinquished Property shall be distributed to API at the closing
                of the transfer of the Relinquished Property, and shall be
                exchange proceeds, intended to be reinvested in Replacement
                Property as part of the exchange under this Exchange Agreement.

    C Restrictions on Use of Sale Proceeds During Exchange. API shall hold
the net sale proceeds (including cash, promissory notes and other property) from
the sale of the Relinquished Property solely for the purpose of acquiring the
Replacement Property and such proceeds shall not be deemed a part of API's
general assets nor subject to claims by API's creditors. API shall hold the net
proceeds until such time as Exchanger has located suitable property with which
to exchange, at which time Exchanger shall instruct API to acquire the ownership
interest in the Replacement Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Exchanger shall not have any right to receive,
pledge, borrow, or otherwise obtain the benefits of any money or other property
constituting the net sale proceeds from the sale of the Relinquished Property or
any portion of said net sale proceeds, before the end of the applicable

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

time period set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations, Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6).
Exchanger and API further agree that Exchanger has only the rights to receive,
pledge borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the net sales proceeds from
the sale of the Relinquished Property which are specifically allowed in
subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of U.S. Treasury Regulations, Section
1.1031(k)-1(g)(6), which subparagraphs are herein quoted as follows:

                      "(ii) The agreement may provide that if the taxpayer
                  has not identified Replacement Property by the end of the
                  identification period, the taxpayer may have rights to
                  receive, pledge, borrow, or otherwise obtain the benefits of
                  money or other property at any time after the end of the
                  identification period.

                      (iii) The agreement may provide that if the taxpayer
                  has identified replacement property, the taxpayer may have
                  rights to receive, pledge, borrow, or otherwise obtain the
                  benefits of money or other property upon or after--

                           (a) The receipt by the taxpayer of all of the
                           Replacement Property to which the Taxpayer is
                           entitled under the exchange agreement, or

                           (b) The occurrence after the end of the
                           identification period of a material and substantial
                           contingency that--

                               (1) Relates to the deferred exchange,

                               (2) Is provided for in writing, and

                               (3) Is beyond the control of the Taxpayer and of
                                   any disqualified person (as defined in
                                   paragraph (K) of this Section), other than
                                   the person obligated transfer the
                                   replacement property to the taxpayer."

NOTE: IF THE EXCEPTIONS IN PARAGRAPHS (ii) AND (iii) DO NOT APPLY, THE SALE
PROCEEDS MUST REMAIN IN THE QUALIFIED EXCHANGE ACCOUNT UNTIL THE 181ST DAY AFTER
THE TRANSFER OF THE RELINQUISHED PROPERTY. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE FOREGOING
CONDITIONS BE INTERPRETED AND IMPOSED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE
LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN U.S. TREASURY REGULATION 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6).

         D Interest. The Exchanger may be entitled to receive interest earned on
the net proceeds, subject to API's fees described in Section V.M. below.
Exchanger's rights to receive such interest are limited to the same
circumstances described in Section II.C above. Exchanger understands that, for
income tax purposes, any interest paid to Exchanger will be treated as interest
income regardless of whether it is paid to Exchanger in cash or in property and
must be reported as Exchanger's income.

III.     DELAYED PROVISIONS

         A. Replacement Property Identification Period and Exchange Period
Defined. Exchanger must identify like-kind Replacement Property on or before
midnight of the date that is forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of
closing of the transfer of the Relinquished Property to Purchaser (the
"Identification Period"), pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section
III.B., below. Exchanger must receive the

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

Replacement Property on or before midnight of the day which is one hundred and
eighty (180) calendar days after the date of transfer of closing of the
Relinquished Property to API, or the due date, including extensions, of
Exchanger's tax return for the year in which the transfer of the Relinquished
Property takes place, whichever comes first (the "Exchange Period"). Exchanger
acknowledges that compliance with these dates is necessary to qualify for tax
deferral under I.R.C. Section 1031. API hereby expressly disclaims any
responsibility for any failure to comply with the time limitations for
identification of replacement property, or for any failure to comply with the
time limitations for receipt of replacement property, which provisions are
contained in I.R.C. Section 1031(a)(3) and in Treasury Regulations section
1.1031(k)-1(b), (c), (d) and (e). Rather, it is the sole responsibility of the
Exchanger to make such identification in a timely manner, and to fully inform
API of Exchanger's desire to acquire such Replacement Property.

         B. Identification of Replacement Property. On or before the date which
is forty-five calendar days following the transfer of the Relinquished Property,
Exchanger shall, in accordance with the requirements set forth in I.R.C. Section
1031(a)(3) and in Treasury Regulations section 1.1031(k)-1(b), (c), (d) and (e)
and summarized below, identify one or more Replacement Properties to be acquired
by API and conveyed to Exchanger in exchange for the Relinquished Property.
IDENTIFICATION SHALL BE IN WRITING and shall be delivered to API, or to any
other person involved in this exchange other than Exchanger or a disqualified
person as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(k), either by U.S.
mail, facsimile or personal delivery prior to midnight on the 45th day following
the close of the transfer of the Relinquished Property.

            1. Description of Properties - Identified Replacement Property
         must be "unambiguously" identified by Exchanger by street address,
         legal description or "distinguishable name". (Note: In the event that
         the Replacement Property consists of improved real property where the
         improvements are to be produced during the Exchange Period, then, in
         addition to the street address, legal description, or "distinguishable
         name", the identification must include as much detail regarding the
         construction of the improvements as is practicable at the time the
         identification is made. Further, in the event Exchanger intends to
         acquire Replacement Property which includes improvements which are to
         be produced during the Exchange Period, Exchanger shall promptly
         contact API to make arrangements concerning acquisition of this
         property.)

            2. Limitations on Identified Properties - Exchanger shall
identify only that number of Replacement Properties which meet one of the
"identification rules" set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031
(k)-1(c)(4) as follows:

            A. THREE PROPERTY RULE: The Exchanger may identify a maximum
         of three (3) Replacement Properties without regard to the fair market
         value of the properties.

            B. TWO HUNDRED PERCENT RULE: The Exchanger may identify any
         number of properties, so long as the aggregate fair market value of the
         identified properties does not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the
         aggregate fair market value of the Relinquished Properties.

            C. NINETY-FIVE PERCENT RULE: The Exchanger may identify any
         number of properties without regard to the aggregate fair market value,
         so long as Exchanger receives ninety-

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

         five percent (95%) of the aggregate fair market value of all identified
         Replacement Properties prior to the end of the one hundred and eighty
         day period.

         3. Revocation of Identified Properties - Exchanger may, in writing sent
to API within the Identification Period, revoke any identified property at any
time prior to the end of the forty-five day Identification Period. Exchanger may
then, after revocation of previously identified properties and within said
forty-five day identification period, identify other Replacement Properties,
pursuant to the limitations as stated in Sections III.B.1 and III.B.2, above.

         4. Exchanger acknowledges that compliance with the requirements for the
manner of identification of replacement property is necessary to qualify for tax
deferral under I.R.C. Section 1031. API hereby expressly disclaims any
responsibility for any failure to comply with the U.S. Treasury Regulations
which govern the manner of identification of replacement property, which are
contained in Treasury Regulations section 1.1031(k)-1(b), (c), (d) and (e).
Rather, it is the sole responsibility of the Exchanger to make such
identification in the proper manner.

IV. REPLACEMENT PROPERTY

         A. Assignment. Exchanger and API will, by an assignment agreement,
attached (or which will be attached) hereto as ADDENDUM "C", assign the Real
Property Purchase Agreement for the Replacement Property to API, thereby
substituting API in place of Exchanger as Purchaser. API will then assume the
rights of the Purchaser except to the extent limited by the terms and conditions
of this Exchange Agreement and Supplemental Closing Instructions. Exchanger and
API will execute the assignment agreement and API agrees that it will give
notice of the assignment to all parties to the Real Property Purchase Agreement
prior to the transfer of the Replacement Property.

         B. Purchase of Replacement Property. API agrees to acquire ownership
interest and/or title to the Replacement Property immediately prior to API's
transfer of such property to Exchanger or a limited liability company of which
Exchanger is the sole member and which is disregarded as an entity separate from
Exchanger as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b), unless
parties elect to direct deed, pursuant to Section IV.E. below. API, pursuant to
Section IV.C. below, is formally substituted as the Purchaser in the closing.

         C. Substitution of Purchaser - Assignment of Closing Instructions.
Exchanger and API shall execute ADDENDUM "D" to this Agreement (Amendment to
Closing Instructions - Assignment and Substitution of Purchaser - Direct Deed)
attached (or which will be attached) hereto, which formally substitutes API as
Purchaser with the Closing Agent. API shall instruct Closing Agent to (1.)
Retain a copy of said Addendum "D" as its authorization to accept API as the
Purchaser in said closing transaction, and (2.) Obtain Exchanger's approval and
API's signature as the Qualified Intermediary for Exchanger on all purchaser
statements and/or closing documents prior to the closing.

         D. Costs of Purchase. API is not to incur any costs for its role as
Qualified Intermediary in this exchange transaction. All costs of acquiring the
Replacement Property, including cash payments toward the purchase price,
acquisition costs, prorations and all other acquisition fees incident thereto
shall be borne by Exchanger.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

         E. Deeding. API and Exchanger shall instruct Closing Agent to prepare
an instrument transferring legal title directly from the Seller of the
Replacement Property to Exchanger or a limited liability company of which
Exchanger is the sole member and which is disregarded as an entity separate from
Exchanger as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b), pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031 (k)-1(g)(4)(iv), to avoid the duplication of
transfer taxes and recording fees. Closing Agent shall be instructed not to
record such an instrument in the name of API unless directed to do so, in
writing, by API and Exchanger.

V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         A. Exchanger's Assumption of Risk. API assumes no responsibility for
Exchanger's compliance with the 45 day Identification Period and the Exchange
Period requirements of I.R.C. Section 1031 (a)(3). API shall in no event be held
liable for Exchanger's failure to receive the tax benefits of Section 1031 or
for any costs incurred as a result of defending the exchange if audited or
litigated, except to the extent that such failure or costs arise or result from
API's negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or default or breach of
API's obligation under this Agreement. Exchanger represents and agrees that it
assumes for itself any and all tax risks and costs associated with the exchange
transaction.

Exchanger hereby acknowledges that API is not acting as Exchanger's tax advisor
and that API does not warrant or represent that the Exchange Arrangement under
this Agreement will qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal
Revenue Code or otherwise. Exchanger acknowledges that Exchanger has been
advised to obtain separate, independent advice concerning the requirements for a
qualified like-kind exchange under Section 1031.

         B. Risk of Loss. Exchanger hereby assumes all risk of loss or damage
adversely affecting the value of the Relinquished Property, the Replacement
Property and any other property conveyed to or by API in connection with this
Exchange Agreement, whether resulting from fire or other casualty, natural
disaster, condemnation or any other physical, legal or economic circumstances,
provided however, Exchanger shall not assume any or all such loss or damage
which arises or results from API's negligence, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or default or breach of the terms and/or conditions of this
Agreement. In this event, API shall be responsible for all losses and damages
which result therefrom.

         C. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence hereof.

         D. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be
assignable by either party without the prior written consent of the others, as
applicable.

         E. Reporting Requirements. Exchanger agrees that to the extent
required, Exchanger shall satisfy any and all reporting requirements of any
federal, state, municipal or other governing authority for recipients of funds
paid to or by API on behalf of and at the direction of Exchanger. API in no way
performs tax-reporting services.

         F. Governing Law. All questions with respect to the construction of
this Agreement and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California.

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

         G. Attorney's Fees. In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute
between the parties hereto, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to
the breach thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
other party, or parties, reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

         H. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of
the parties hereto, and supersedes any prior written or oral agreement between
them concerning the subject matter contained herein. There are no
representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written,
between the parties hereto, relating to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement, which are not fully expressed herein.

         I. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts
and all counterparts so executed shall constitute one agreement which shall be
binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties
are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart.

         J. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be given by personal
delivery, by facsimile or by depositing such notice in the United States mail,

         K. Inurement. Subject to the restrictions against assignment as herein
contained, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding
upon, the assigns, successors in interest, personal representatives, estates,
heirs, and legatees of each of the parties hereto, as applicable.

         L. Authorization. The persons signing below warrant and represent that
they have authority to enter into this Exchange Agreement and Supplemental
Closing Instructions for themselves and for any other person for whom they
purport to sign.

         M. API Fees. Exchanger agrees to compensate API for the performance of
         the services of API as described herein for the disposition of the
         Relinquished Property and the acquisition of the Replacement Property.
         This fee shall be as follows:

            (1) The sum of $700.00 for the first Relinquished Property closing,
                and $200.00 for each additional Relinquished Property closing.
                In the event Exchanger request that API hold a seller-carry-back
                promissory note, a note- processing fee of $200.00 will be
                collected. In the event of a delayed exchange, API will deduct
                API's fee from the net cash exchange proceeds received by API.
                In the event of a simultaneous exchange, API's fees will be
                collected at closing; AND

            (2) There will be no fee for the first Replacement Property closing.
                The sum of $200.00 will be charged for each additional
                Replacement Property closing. In the event of a delayed
                exchange, API will deduct API's fee from the net cash exchange
                proceeds received by

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

                API. In the event of a simultaneous exchange, API's fees will be
                collected at closing; AND

            (3) API will retain all interest earned on all exchange proceeds,
                including cash, and other property held by API as described in
                Section II.B... above, for the first 30 days commencing upon the
                date of receipt of the proceeds by API; AND

            (4) In the event that API holds exchange proceeds for less than 30
                days, API will only retain the interest earned up to the date
                the funds are released; AND

            (5) In the event API holds exchange proceeds for more than 30 days,
                then thereafter Exchanger will earn interest at the prevailing
                Comerica Bank Money Market Rate ("Exchanger's Rate").
                Exchanger's Rate may fluctuate. Interest earned on the exchange
                proceeds in excess of the Exchanger's Rate will be retained by
                API as part of API's fee.

            (6) The interest earned and due Exchanger, pursuant to Section II.D.
                above, will automatically be added to the exchange proceeds and
                applied to the Replacement Property closing, unless a written
                notice from Exchanger requesting interest disbursement separate
                from exchange proceeds is received by API prior to the release
                of exchange proceeds for the Replacement Property closing.
                Interest is subject to the aforementioned restrictions as
                described in Section II.C., above.

         N. Exchanger's Indemnification of Intermediary. Exchanger shall
indemnify, defend and hold API and each of its shareholders, directors,
officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and representatives
harmless from and against all claims, demands, suits, liability, costs or causes
of action of third parties, or which arise out of any challenge by any duly
constituted legal authority as to the tax ramifications of the exchange
transaction, ("Claim"), as well as from and against all losses and expenses
(including reasonable attorney fees and costs), arising out of or in any way
connected with the Relinquished Property or the Replacement Property, or which
results from API's participation in the exchange of real property as described
herein, including those which arise out of API's holding of ownership interest
to said property or any other property involved in the exchange, and including
but not limited to any Claim related to hazardous materials on or about the
property ("the Indemnity"). The Indemnity shall be immediately enforceable
without regard to whether a Claim is well founded. However, the Indemnity shall
not apply if a Claim results in a finding by a court or other governmental
authority of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of API or any of its
officers, directors or employees. This indemnity shall survive the closing of
all transactions described in this Agreement and any termination of this
Agreement. Exchanger acknowledges that API has made no representations nor given
advice as to the tax consequences of the exchange transaction, that Exchanger
has participated in this transaction solely for independent business reasons,
and that it would be unreasonable to ever guarantee the actions or inactions of
any government agency.

         O. Disclaimer of Liability for Wrongful Conduct of Others. Exchanger
hereby agrees that API and each of its shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and representatives shall not be
held responsible or liable by Exchanger, under the law of contract, of tort, or
otherwise, for any damages or loss suffered by Exchanger in the event that API
is wholly or partially unable to perform any of API's obligations under this
Agreement as a result of any wrongful conduct (negligence, gross negligence or
willful misconduct) by any person or entity other than API, which

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

prevents API from performing API's obligations under this Agreement. The
situations covered by this disclaimer of liability include, but are not limited
to, the theft, embezzlement, loss or misapplication of Exchanger's funds by any
title company, attorney or law firm, escrow company, real estate broker, or any
other person or entity other than API, its officers, employees or directors.

         P. Related Party Exchanges. Exchanger acknowledges awareness of the
following information: Exchanges made between Exchanger and a "Related Person"
as defined by I.R.C. Sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1) (for example only: spouse,
ancestors, descendants, brothers and sisters of Exchanger, and corporations and
partnerships which are owned more than 50% by the Exchanger) are subject to
special legal restrictions, as follows:

         (1) The I.R.S. has ruled (in Rev. Ruling 2002-83) that a taxpayer who
transfers relinquished property to a qualified intermediary in exchange for
replacement property owned by a Related Person is not entitled to
non-recognition treatment under section 1031(a) of the Internal Revenue Code if,
as part of the transaction, the related party receives cash or other
non-like-kind property for the replacement property; and

         (2) Internal Revenue Code Section 1031(f)(1)(c) states that if a
taxpayer exchanges property with a Related Person, and before the expiration of
two years after the completion of the exchange the Related Person disposes of
the property the Related Person received in the exchange OR Exchanger disposes
of the property received in the exchange from the Related Person, the exchange
will be disallowed and the Exchanger will be required to recognize the gain or
loss from the transaction.

Exchanger is strongly cautioned to consult with Exchanger's own tax advisor
concerning these issues before entering into any exchange involving a Related
Person. Exchanger acknowledges that API has made no representations nor given
advice as to Exchanger's tax consequences in the event Exchanger transacts an
exchange with a Related Person.

         Q. Related Company Disclosure. Exchanger understands that API is a
subsidiary of Stewart Title Company. Exchanger is not required to use Stewart
Title Company and/or any of its issuing offices as a condition for settlement of
the purchase or sale of the Subject Property.

         R. Document Storage. Upon completion of Exchanger's transaction under
this Exchange Agreement, API's file containing documentation of this exchange
transaction will be retained on-site for six months. During this six-month
period, Exchanger may obtain copies of all documents in said file at no cost to
Exchanger. When six months have elapsed from the completion of Exchanger's
exchange, said file will be sent to a long-term storage facility. After these
six months have elapsed, Exchanger may notify API that Exchanger wishes copies
of documents from API's file. API will retrieve said file from the long-term
storage facility and provide Exchanger with the requested copies of documents
within a reasonable time. Exchanger shall pay the sum of $25.00 to API before
Exchanger receives the requested documents; this fee is charged in order to
offset API's actual cost of retrieving Exchanger's file from long-term storage.

         S. California Withholding Requirements. California law (Revenue &
Taxation Code Secs. 18661-18677) requires, in many cases, that a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of real property located in California be withheld and
forwarded to the California Franchise Tax Board. This law may require that

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

API withhold three and one-third percent (3 1/3%) of any cash or cash equivalent
Exchanger receives from the proceeds of California real property relinquished in
this exchange transaction. Further, this law may require API to withhold three
and one-third percent (3 1/3%) of the total sale price of such California real
property if the exchange does not occur or does not meet the requirements of
Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 (such as the identification and receipt
requirements set forth in Section III. of this Agreement). By signing this
Agreement, Exchanger acknowledges Exchanger's awareness that California law may
require API to use part or all of Exchanger's exchange proceeds to meet
applicable withholding requirements. A copy of this California law is available
online at: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=rtc&group=
18001-19000&file-18661-18677.

         T. State Law Requirements. Various state and local government entities
impose requirements applicable to I.R.C. Section 1031 exchange transactions in
addition to those imposed by the Internal Revenue Code or I.R.S. rules. These
state or local laws may impose requirements in addition to, or different from,
the provisions of this Agreement. Exchanger is hereby notified that API is
required to comply with applicable laws imposed by states and local government
entities, and that in so complying, Exchanger's rights under this Agreement may
be affected.

         U. Disqualified Person. To the best of its knowledge, API is not a
"disqualified person" with respect to Exchanger as defined in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(k).

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Exchange Agreement.
