Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All other
terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to

parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually commences, if
possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does
not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay
Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the

Industrial Center or to the operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall be

the same or some of them.

      (d) Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses shall be payable by

5.    Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's execution
hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Lessee's
faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails

all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due
Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense,
loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by
reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security
Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefore
deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the
full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent increases during the
term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit
additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security Deposit so that the
total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion
to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bears to the
initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall not be required to
keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts.

after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option,
to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the
Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered
to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be
prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, 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 waste or a nuisance,
or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to the Premises or
neighboring premises or properties.

consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or subtenants, and
by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its assignees and subtenants,
for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long as the same will not impair
the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or in the Building
or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, does not conflict with uses by
other lessees, is not significantly more burdensome to the Premises or the
Building and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise permissible pursuant to
this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such consent, Lessor shall within
five (5) business days after such request give a written notification of same,
which notice shall include an explanation of Lessor's reasonable objections to
the change in use.

Paragraph 6.3). "Reportable Use" shall mean (i) the installation or use of any
above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage,

in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any
Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying
the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee
may, without Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to Lessor and in compliance
with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials
reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of

                                       4
<PAGE>

the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not
expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of
contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition,
Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any
Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor
such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems
necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment
against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but
not limited to the installation (and, at Lessor's option, removal on or before
Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective
modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit
of an additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

            (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 or the Building, other than as previously consented to by
Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice thereof, together
with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit,
business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from,
any governmental authority or private party concerning the presence, spill,
release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance including but
not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use
involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance
to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the Premises (including,
without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).

            (c) Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and
hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the
Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments,
costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and attorneys' and
consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought
onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under Lessee's control. Lessee's
obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall include, but not be limited to,
the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the
environment created, or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation
(including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier 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.

      6.3   Lessee's Compliance with Requirements. Lessee shall, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with
all "Applicable Requirements," which term is used in this Lease to mean all
laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and
restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises (including
but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii)
environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil and
groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture, production,
installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill, or release
of any Hazardous Substance), now in effect or which may hereafter come into
effect. Lessee shall, within five (5) days after receipt of Lessor's written
request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and information, including
but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and
certificates, 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
failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.

      6.4   Inspection; Compliance with Law. Lessor, Lessor's agents, employees,
contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any mortgages,
deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lenders") shall have the right
to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at
reasonable times, with a bank officer present, for the purpose of inspecting
the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this
Lease and all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and Lessor
shall be entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith
to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited
to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal
of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of
any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a
Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable
Requirements or a contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Lessee,
is found to exist or to be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or
ordered by a governmental authority as the result of any such existing or
imminent violation or contamination. In such case, Lessee shall upon request
reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and
expenses of such inspections.

7.    Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and
Alterations.

      7.1   Lessee's Obligations.

            (a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition), 2.3
(Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code), 7.2 (Lessor's
Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense and at all times, keep the Premises and every
part thereof in good order, condition and repair (whether or not such portion of
the Premises requiring repair, or the means of repairing the same, are
reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee and whether or not the need for such
r occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of
such portion of the premises), including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, all equipment or facilities specifically serving the Premises, such
as plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical, lighting
facilities, boilers, fired or unfired pressure vessels, fire hose connections if
within the Premises, fixtures, interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior
walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, plate glass, and skylights, but
excluding any items which are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to Paragraph
7.2 below. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order, condition and repair,
shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices. Lessee's obligations
shall include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the
Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition
and state of repair.

            (b) Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, procure and
maintain a contract, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and substance for
and with a contractor specializing and experienced in the inspection,
maintenance and service of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system
for the Premises. However, Lessor reserves the right, upon notice to Lessee, to
procure and maintain the contract for the heating, air conditioning, and
ventilating systems, and if Lessor so elects, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor,
upon demand, for the cost thereof.

                                       5
<PAGE>

            (c) If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this
Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after ten (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, in accordance with Paragraph
13.2 below.

      7.2 Lessor's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2
(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code),
4.2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee's Obligations), 9
(Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor, subject to reimbursement
pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good order, condition and repair the
foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of interior bearing walls,
exterior roof, fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose (if located in the
Common Areas) or other automatic fire extinguishing system including fire alarm
and/or smoke detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, parking lots,
walkways, parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems
serving the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the
services for which there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to
Paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the exterior or interior
surfaces of exterior walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or
replace windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessee expressly waives
the benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise
afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this
Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the Building, Industrial Center or
Common Areas in good order, condition and repair.

      7.3   Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, Alterations.

            (a) Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility Installations"
is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels, electrical
distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications systems,
lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment,
plumbing, and fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term "Trade Fixtures"
shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed without doing
material damage to the Premises. The term "Alterations" shall mean any
modification of the improvements on the Premises which are provided by Lessor
under the terms of this Lease, other than Utility Installations or Trade
Fixtures. "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). Lessee shall not make nor cause to be
made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding
the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they
are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve puncturing,
relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing or
interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the cumulative
cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does not exceed
$10,000.00.

            (b) Consent. 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. All cons6nts given by
Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent,
shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits
required by governmental authorities; (ii) the furnishing of copies of such
permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Alteration
or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon; and
(iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt
and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee
during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with
as-built plans and specifications therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation
to do so) condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility
Installation that costs $10,000.00 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a
lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation.

            (c) Lien Protection. Lessee shall pay when due all claims for labor
or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for 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 ten (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 in or on the Premises as provided by law. If
Lessee shall, in good faith, 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
against the Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall
furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one
and one-half times the amount of such contested lien claim or demand,
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same, as required by law for the
holding of the Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition,
Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs in
participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest
to do so.

      7.4   Ownership, Removal, Surrender, and Restoration.

            (a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require their removal
and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided in this
Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by
Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered a part of
the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in writing to
Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per
Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
become the property of Lessor and remain upon the Premises and be surrendered
with the Premises by Lessee.

            (b) Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may require
that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding that their
installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require the
removal at any time of all or any part of any Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.

                                       6
<PAGE>

            (c) Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by
the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, clean
and free of debris and in good operating order, condition and state of repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not include any
damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance
practice or by Lessee performing all of is obligations under this Lease. Except
as otherwise agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as surrendered, shall
include the Alterations and Utility Installations. The obligation of Lessee
shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the installation,
maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, as well as the removal of
any storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or
remediation of any soil, material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as
may then be required by Applicable Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's
Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by
Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this
Lease.

8.    Insurance; Indemnity.

      8.1   Payment of Premiums. The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under this Paragraph 8 shall be a Common Area
Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy periods
commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be
prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration
Date.

      8.2   Liability Insurance.

            (a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance
protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been provided to
Lessee in writing (as additional insured) against claims for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage based upon, involving 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 "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 required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall
not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be 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 also maintain liability
insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, 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. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with
loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or damage to
the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same
shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s), but in
no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value
thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved,
such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall
be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. 1f the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, Lessor's 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 any additional
costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement
of any undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed
by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of
any co-insurance 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.

            (b) Rental Value. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss
payable to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental and
other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for one year
(including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area Operating
Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may provide that in
the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of
indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion
of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss
of rental revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain
an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount
of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
Real Property Taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any,
otherwise payable, for the next 12-month period. Common Area Operating Expenses
shall include any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

            (c) Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any increase in the
premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas or
other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused by Lessee's
acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.

            (d) Lessee's Improvements. Since Lessor is the Insuring Party,
Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease.

      8.4   Lessee's Property Insurance. Subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at
Lessor's option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in
coverage to that carried by

                                       7
<PAGE>

Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a). Such insurance shall be
full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to exceed $1,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property and the restoration of Trade Fixtures and
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request from Lessor,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in
force.

      8.5   Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed 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, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall not do
or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
referred to in this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor,
within seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the
Commencement Date, certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence
and amounts of, the insurance required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4. No such
policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of
renewals or 'insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order
such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be
payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.

      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 (whether in contract or in tort) against
the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to
the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance 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 and/or breach of express
warranties, 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,
costs, liens, judgments, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection
with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of Lessee's business,
any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a
timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this
Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or
pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether
or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to
judgment. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason
of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall 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 so indemnified.

      8.8   Exemption of Lessor from Liability. 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 or about 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, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether 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, from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not. Lessor
shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
lessee of Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any
other lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or
breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury
to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.

9.    Damage or Destruction.

      9.1   Definitions.

            (a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty percent (50%) of
the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of the Premises
(excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

            (b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the
then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. In addition, damage or destruction to the Building, other than
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any
lessees of the Building, the cost of which damage or destruction is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the
Building) of the Building shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed to be
Premises Total Destruction.

            (c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to 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 building codes, ordinances or
laws, and without deduction for depreciation.

                                       8
<PAGE>

            (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.

      9.2   Premises Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If 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. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, 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 ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and
request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to 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. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such
ten (10) day period, and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then
this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the
damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have
any right to reimbursement from Lessor for 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 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
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 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 and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, 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
(11) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after
the receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's
commitment to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and
without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required
funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such
commitment from Lessee. 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 give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.

      9.4   Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by
Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee
except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.

      9.5   Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term 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 may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, 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 (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs
on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (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 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 as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.

      9.6   Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.

            (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous
Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent,
Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee
hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair,
remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the
degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of
proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except
for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if
any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed
by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered
by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation, or restoration.

            (b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises
under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within
ninety (90) 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 sixty (60) days following the
giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph
9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the
required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever
occurs first.

                                       9

      9.7   Hazardous Substance Conditions. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee
shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable
Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but subject
to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) 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 investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000 whichever is greater, give written
notice to Lessee within thirty (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 sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements,
over lb) an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or
$100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds
required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
following said commitment by Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and
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 period specified above, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.

      9.8   Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not
been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.

      9.9   Waiver of Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this
Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises
and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive
the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is inconsistent
herewith.

10.   Real Property Taxes.

      10.1  Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any such amounts shall be included in the
calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.2.

      10.2  Real Property Tax Definition. As used herein, the term "Real
Property Taxes' shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Industrial Center by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state
or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage, or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or any portion thereof,
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of
leasing the Premises. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason
of events occurring, or changes in Applicable Law taking effect, during the
term of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in the ownership of
the Industrial Center or in the improvements thereon, the execution of this
Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or not
contemplated by the Parties. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar
year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in
the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the
number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.

      10.3  Additional Improvements. Common Area Operating Expenses shall not
include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10. I hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

      10.4  Joint Assessment. If the Building is not separately assessed, Real
Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of
the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

      10.5  Lessee's Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center. 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 ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.

11.   Utilities. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If
any such utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or
separately billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable
proportion to be determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or
billed with other premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time
periods set forth in Paragraph 4.2(d).

12.   Assignment and Subletting.

      12.1  Lessor's Consent Required, excluding any merger, acquisition,
reconfiguration or transfer to a wholly owned subsidiary, any of which will not
constitute an assignment or sublease.

            (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign,
transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assign") or
sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the terms of
Paragraph 36.

[deleted text]

            (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or
series of transactions (byway of merger, sale, acquisition, financing,
refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal
assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which
results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter
defined, by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such
Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of full
execution and delivery of this Lease or at the time of the most recent
assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to
said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, at whichever time
said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment
of this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent.
"Net Worth of Lessee" for purposes of this Lease shall be the net worth of
Lessee (excluding any Guarantors) established under generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

            (d) An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this Lease
without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option, be a
Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a non-curable Breach without
the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such
unconsented to assignment or subletting as a non-curable Breach, Lessor shall
have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30)
days' written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly Base Rent for the
Premises to the greater of the then fair market rental value of the Premises, as
reasonably determined by Lessor, or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base
Rent then in effect. Pending determination of the new fair market rental value,
if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in Lessor's Notice,
with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s) of Base Rent
coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to the effective
date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the determination
thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the
purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be
subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value as reasonably
determined by Lessor (without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or any
deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its
highest and best use and in good condition) or one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the price previously in effect, (ii) any index-oriented rental or price
adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require that
the base index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the time
of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the
remainder of the Lease term shall be increased in the same ratio as the new
rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the adjustment
specified in Lessor's Notice.

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

12.2  Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

            (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting
shall not (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such
assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.

            (b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of
an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of any rent for performance shall constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by
Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

            (c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the assignee or
sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments
of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying
Lessee or anyone else liable under this Lease or the sublease and without
obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from
liability under this Lease or the sublease.

            (d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligation
under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or
anyone else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, including any sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any
security held by Lessor.

            (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be
in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to
the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the monthly Base Rent applicable to
the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or
sublease, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's
considering and processing the request for

                                       11
<PAGE>

consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional
information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.

            (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason
of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.

            (g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.2(c)
shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the
Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to six (6) times the then
monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the
Security Deposit increase a condition to Lessor's consent to such transaction.

            (h) Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent to any assignment
or subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment schedule of the rent
payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the market value and/or
adjustment schedule for property similar to the Premises as then constituted, as
determined by Lessor.

      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 rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion
of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect
such rent and income and apply same to ward Lessee's obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1)
shall occur in the perform of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee may,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accrued under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing
provision or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of
the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee
for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any Lessee's obligations to
such sublessee under such Sublease. 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 the rents and other charges due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any obligation
or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and notwithstanding any
notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or
claim against such sublessee, or, until the Breach has been cured, against
Lessor, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said sublessee to
Lessor.

            (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of the sublessee under such sublease from the
time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any other prior defaults or
breaches of such subless under such sublease.

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

            (d) No sublessee under a sublease approved by Lessor 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 Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such
Defaults cured by the sublessee.

13.   Default; Breach; Remedies.

      13.1  Default; Breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $1,000.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified
herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of
the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

            (a) The vacating of the Premises without the intention to reoccupy
same, or the abandonment of the Premises.

            (b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Common
Area Operating Expenses, or any other monetary payment required to be made by
Lessee hereunder as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with
reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or
the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of
three (3) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

            (c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly
executed original form, if applicable) of (1) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (II) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1 (b), (111) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12. 1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of
this

                                       12
<PAGE>

Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1. 1 1 and 37, (vii)
the execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or
(viii) 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 ten (10) days following written notice by or on behalf
of Lessor 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 that
are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in Subparagraphs 13.1 (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if
Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

            (e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (I) the making by
Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(II) Lessee's becoming a 'debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (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 thirty (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 thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1 (a) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

            (f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of Lessee
or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was materially
false.

            (g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (I) the death of a Guarantor, (II) the termination of a Guarantor's
liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of
such guaranty, (Ili) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis,
and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event, to provide Lessor with written
alternative assurances of security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of
Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.

      13.2  Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice
to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at its option
(but without obligation to do so), 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. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), 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, Lessor may:

            (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time
of the award of 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, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. 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 San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District
in which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of
this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this
Paragraph 13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding the 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 for such
rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or
to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee under an statute
authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute
the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period under the
unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory
notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the
two (2) 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 in effect
(in California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach
and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to sublet
or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor and Lessee agree that
the limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts
of

                                       13
<PAGE>

maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment
of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this Lease, shall not
constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

            (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located.

            (d) 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  Inducement Recapture in Event of Breach. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions" shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of
such acceptance.

      13.4  Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder 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 the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or dead of trust covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. 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 Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.

      13.5  Breach by Lessor. 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 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to 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 thirty (30) days after such
notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in
breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

14.   Condemnation. It 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
(all of which are herein called 'condemnation'), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (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 the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.

15.   Brokers' Fees.

      15.1  Procuring Cause. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are the
procuring cause of this Lease.

                                       14
<PAGE>

      15.2  Additional Terms. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise agreed
in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as defined
in Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option subsequently granted,
or lb) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises in which
Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises
with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of the term of this Lease after
having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if said Brokers are the procuring
cause of any other lease or sale entered into between the Parties pertaining to
the Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or
(a) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an
escalation clause herein, then as to any of said transactions, Lessor shall pay
said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said Broker(s) in effect
at the time of the execution of this Lease.

      15.3  Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation
of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph
15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions
of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its interest in any
commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right directly against
Lessor and its successors.

      15.4  Representations and Warranties. 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 as named in Paragraph 1. 1 0(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other
than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in
connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnity, 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, and/or attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

16.   Tenancy and Financial Statements.

      16.1  Tenancy Statement. Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within
ten (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 a form similar to the then most current "Tenancy Statement" 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.

      16.2  Financial Statement. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or
sell the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all
Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to
Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.   Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the owner
or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the event
of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, 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.   Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10) days
following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at
the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which
the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late charge provided
for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.   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.

21.   Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.

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 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. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary
of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.

23.   Notices.

      23.1  Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or
courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S.
Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission
during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served
in a

                                       15
<PAGE>

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
notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a
different address for notice purposes, except that upon Lessee's taking
possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for
the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Lessee. A copy of all notices
required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently
transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time
to time hereafter designate by written notice to Lessee.

      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. If sent
by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day Delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after
delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. It any
notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall
be deemed served or delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of
receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via
delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal
holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.

24.   Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any such 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. Regardless of
Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the
acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by
Lessee of any provision hereof. Any payment given Lessor 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.   Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

26.   No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a 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. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

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. 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 by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, 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. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to afforn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.

      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 assurance (a 'non-disturbance agreement") from the
Lender that Lessee's possession 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.

      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

                                       16
<PAGE>

Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such further writings as may be
reasonably required to separately document any such subordination or
non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement as is provided
for herein.

31.   Attorneys' Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or 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 or Broker 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 or Broker of its claim or defense. The
attorneys' fee 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. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
incurred in preparation and service of 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. Broker(s) shall be intended
third party beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.

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 for the purpose of showing the same
to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor
may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises or Building any ordinary 'For Sale' signs and Lessor may at any time
during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term hereof place on or
about the Premises any ordinary 'For Lease' signs. All such activities of Lessor
shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.

33.   Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

34.   Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises
or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise
Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of any sign on
the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7
(Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs.

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, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing sub-tenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any
such event to make a written election 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.

      (a)   Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or 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 pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, 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 to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any
such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of
money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and
responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be
refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee 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.

      (b)   All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the impositions 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.

37.   Guarantor.

      37.1  Form of Guaranty. If there are to be any Guarantors of this Lease
per Paragraph 1.11, the form of the guaranty to be executed by each such
Guarantor shall be in the form most recently published by the American
Industrial Real Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall the have the
same obligations as Lessee under this lease, including but not limited to the
obligation to provide the Tenancy Statement and information required in
Paragraph 16.

                                       17
<PAGE>

      37.2  Additional Obligations of Guarantor. It shall constitute a Default
of the Lessee under this Lease if any such Guarantor fails or refuses, upon
reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a) evidence of the due execution of the
guaranty called for by this Lease, including the authority of the Guarantor (and
of the party signing on Guarantor's behalf) to obligate such Guarantor on said
guaranty, and resolution of its board of directors authorizing the making of
such guaranty, together with a certificate of incumbency showing the signatures
of the persons authorized to sign on its behalf, (b) current financial
statements of Guarantor as may from time to time be requested by Lessor, (c) a
Tenancy Statement, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty is still in
effect.

38.   Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the 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 of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.

39.   Options.

      39.1  Definition. As used in this Lease, the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property of
Lessor; lb) the fight of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right of
first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to lease other
property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other property of
Lessor; (c) the right to purchase the Premises, or the right of first refusal to
purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer to purchase the Premises, or
the right to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first refusal to
purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first offer to purchase other
property of Lessor.

      39.2  Options Personal to Original Lessee. Each Option granted to Lessee
in this Lease is personal to the original Lessee named in Paragraph 1.1 hereof,
and cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or exercised by any person
or entity other than said original Lessee while the original Lessee is in full
and actual possession of the Premises and without the intention of thereafter
assigning or subletting. The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not
assignable, either as a part of an assignment of this Lease or separately or
apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated from this Lease in any manner,
by reservation or otherwise.

      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 to extend or renew this Lease have been validly exercised.

      39.4  Effect of Default on Options.

            (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i) during
the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under Paragraph
13.1 and continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii) during the
period of time any monetary obligation due Lessor from Lessee is unpaid (without
regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii) during the time
Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the exercise of the
Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

            (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)

            (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and
timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of
this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee
for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessor gives to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during any twelve (12) month period, whether or not the Defaults are cured, or
(iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.

40.   Rules and Regulations. Lessee agrees that it will abide by, and keep and
observe all reasonable rules and regulations ('Rules and Regulations") which
Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and
cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the
preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants or
tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their invitees.

41.   Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental 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 the right, from time to time, to grant,
without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of way, utility
raceways, and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights
of way, utility raceways, dedications, maps and restrictions do not reasonably

                                    RECITALS

refer to PACE as long as PACE is the owner, lessee, or occupant of all or a
potion of Parcel 10.

         C.       HD is the tenant of Parcel 4 as shown on the Site Plan

         D.       For the purposes of this Declaration Parcels 1 through 3, 7
through 9, and 12 through 18 are sometimes referred to herein as "Developer's
Parcels".

         E.       Parcels 1 through 4, 7 through 10, and 12 through 18, together
are sometimes referred to herein as the "Shopping Center." Parcels 5, 6 and 11

CROSS-HATCHED on the Site Plan and hereafter referred to as "HD Restricted
Area"; (4) Parcel 10; and (5) that portion of the Shopping Center which is

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

Restricted Area may be used by any person or entity for any of the following
uses or purposes without the prior written consent of PACE or HD respectively,

                  dance hall, discotheque, or other place of public amusement.

                  (c)      No more than 3,000 square feet of space within the

in such a manner so as not to be seen from the Shopping Center.

         2.3      In addition to HD only two (2) other occupants of buildings in
the Shopping Center in excess of 25,000 square feet shall be permitted to
conduct the sale of Christmas trees within the Shopping Center.

         2.4      None of the following activities shall be permitted to operate
in the Common Area(s) of the Shopping Center without the prior written consent
of Developer, HD and PACE:

                  (b)      Fairs;

                  (c)      Auctions;

                  (d)      Shows;

                  (e)      Sales by transient merchants utilizing vehicles or

                  (f)      Other promotions of any nature; and,

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (g)      Parking lot sales, with the exception that such
restriction shall not apply to convenience sales conducted on (i) Parcel 4 by
HD, so long as such parking lot sales are conducted only on Parcel 4, and (ii)
Parcel 10 by PACE, so long as such parking lot sales are conducted only on
Parcel 10.

         2.5      Subject to the above stated restrictions contained in this
Article II, so long as PACE is the Owner of Parcel 10 or is occupying the
building on Parcel 10, PACE may use Parcel 10 for any lawful purpose. PACE
agrees that it will not lease any portion, or all, of Parcel 10 for the
operation of a home improvement store, so long as there is a home improvement
store containing at least 60,000 square feet operating in the Shopping Center.
This shall not preclude PACE from carrying or offering for sale any and all
items and lines of merchandise that they may choose, from to time, to carry and
offer for sale at its own store. For purposes hereof, a "home improvement store"
shall mean a retail store which offers singularly, or in combination, the sale
of lumber; hardware; tools; plumbing supplies; electrical supplies; paint;
wallpaper and other wallcoverings; carpet and other floor coverings; tile,
including ceramic tile; ceiling fans; garden supplies; plants; light fixtures;
cabinets, finished and unfinished; and, patio furniture. Developer and HD agree
that as long as a membership warehouse club containing at least 60,000 square
feet is operating on Parcel 10, no other portion of the Shopping Center shall be
used or operated as a membership warehouse club.

         2.6      Each Owner agrees not to cause, or permit, any hazardous,
toxic or radioactive materials identified in Sections 66680 and 66685 of Title
22 of the California Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 29, as amended
from time to time ("Hazardous Materials"), to be brought upon, kept or used in
or about the Shopping Center, or any portion(s) thereof; provided, that if
certain Hazardous Materials are necessary for an Owner's (or its tenant(s)')
business, such Owner may utilize such Hazardous Materials on such Owner's own
Parcel(s), if: (a) Each Owner notifies all of the other Owners, in writing in
advance, of the Hazardous Materials that will be used and obtains the prior
written consent of Declarants; (b) such Hazardous Materials must be used, kept
and stored in a manner which complies with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations relating to such Hazardous Materials; and, (c) such Owner shall
indemnify in writing acceptable to the Declarants from any and all liability
with respect to such Hazardous Materials, as hereafter provided. If any Owner
breaches the covenants and obligations set forth herein, or, if the presence of
Hazardous Materials on, in or about any Owner's Parcel, and/or the Shopping
Center, results in contamination of the Shopping Center, or any portion
therefor, then such offending Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold each other
Owner free and harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, damages,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation,
diminution in the value of the Shopping Center and/or

                                       6
<PAGE>

the Parcels; damages for the loss or restriction on use of space or of any
amenity; and, all sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant
fees and experts) which arise at any time from such contamination. This
indemnification by the offending Owner shall include, without limitation, any
and all costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions
or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal,
state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of the
presence of Hazardous Materials in, on or about any Parcel in the Shopping
Center, or in the soil or ground water on or under the Shopping Center. If any
state, federal or local "Super Fund" or hazardous waste clean-up lien, or
environmental surcharge, is imposed against the Shopping Center, or any portion
thereof, the offending Owner shall, at its sole cost, cause the same to be paid
and any resulting lien removed.

                        III. BUILDING TYPE AND APPROVAL
                             --------------------------

         3.1      The exterior elevations of all buildings and building
improvements of the Shopping Center, and any alterations, deviations or
modifications thereto, shall be subject to the prior written consent of PACE,
Developer and HD, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided, however, PACE shall have no right to approve the building on Parcel 4
and HD shall have no right to approve the building on Parcel 10. The withholding
of consent for any such building elevation submitted for approval, that is
consistent with the height restrictions set forth in this Declaration and
architectural theme of the Shopping Center, shall be deemed "unreasonable".

         3.2      No buildings shall be erected, placed or permitted to remain
within the Shopping Center that are not of the same type and quality of design,
materials, and workmanship as are consistent with other first-class shopping
centers now and in the future existing in the Northern California area; further,
subject to the restrictions set forth in Article II hereof, all buildings
located in either the PACE Restricted Area or HD Restricted Area shall be used
for retail businesses or service businesses of the type usually found in
first-class shopping centers in Northern California.

         3.3      After the opening of the buildings on Parcel 4 and Parcel 10,
all construction, alteration or repair work undertaken by the Owner of any
Parcel shall be accomplished in an expeditious manner, and, except for
emergencies and Parcel 4, no such work shall be done between November 15th and
January 15th without the prior written consent of HD or PACE, as the case may be
within their respective Restricted Areas, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld provided such construction does not interfere with such parties'
business on their respective parcel. The party undertaking such work shall take
all necessary measures to minimize

                                       7
<PAGE>

any disruption or inconvenience caused by such work. Such work shall be
accomplished by the party undertaking it in such a manner so as to minimize any
damage or adverse affect which might be caused by such work to other Parcels
and/or the Parcel on which the work is being accomplished. The party undertaking
such work shall repair, at its own cost and expense, any and all damage caused
by such work and shall restore the affected portion of the Parcel upon which
such work is performed to a condition which is equal to or better than the
condition which existed prior to the beginning of such work. In addition, the
party undertaking such work shall pay all costs and expenses associated
therewith and shall indemnify and hold the other parties harmless from all
damages, losses or claims attributable to the performance of such work. Except
in cases of emergency, all such work shall be undertaken only after giving the
Declarants thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the work to be undertaken;
the scope and nature of the work; the duration of the work; the stages in which
the work is to be performed; and, the area in which the work is to be performed.

                                   IV. SIGNS
                                       -----

         4.1      Except for directional signs in the Common Area(s) and the
freestanding monument and pylon signs at the approximate locations shown on the
Site Plan, no signs shall be constructed or maintained in the Common Area(s) of
the PACE Restricted Area or the HD Restricted Area without the prior written
approval of PACE or HD respectively, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Developer shall construct and maintain at least two (2)
monument signs as shown on the Site Plan. PACE shall have the option, to be
exercised in its sole discretion, to be listed on each monument sign and PACE
shall pay its share of the monument structures costs based upon the square
footage of PACE's sign as a percentage of total square footage of signage on the
monuments and for its own sign panels. HD shall have the same option, to be
exercised in its sole discretion, to be listed on each monument sign, and shall
be responsible to pay its share of monument structures costs based on the same
proration as PACE. In the event only one (1) monument sign is allowed for the
Shopping Center, PACE and HD shall have the right to place their trade-name
signs on the top portion of either side; PACE shall occupy the side facing the
PACE building and HD shall occupy the side facing the HD building. In the event
two (2) monument signs are provided, PACE shall have the top position on the
monument sign facing the PACE building and HD shall have the top position on the
monument sign facing the HD building. If three (3) monument signs are provided
then PACE shall have the top portion of the monument sign nearest the PACE
building and HD shall the top portion of the monument sign nearest the HD
building, and both parties shall share the top portion of the remaining monument
sign as prescribed above for one (1) monument sign. Developer shall have the
right to determine which other Owners or tenants shall be listed on the monument
sign.

         4.2      All signs on the exterior of buildings in the Shopping Center
shall conform to the sign criteria for the Shopping Center ("Sign Criteria"). A
copy of the Sign Criteria is attached hereto, marked Exhibit C and incorporated
herein by reference. Developer may amend or modify the Sign Criteria for all
areas of the Shopping Center from time to time, subject to the written consent
of PACE and HD. Such consent with regard to the PACE Restricted Area or HD
Restricted may be withheld in PACE's or HD's sole discretion, otherwise such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                             V. BUILDING LOCATIONS
                                ------------------

         5.1      The buildings and structures shall be constructed in the
Shopping Center only in those areas designated on the Site Plan, as Building
Area(s). No buildings or structures shall be constructed or permitted in the
Common Area(s), except for loading docks, pylon and monument signs (as shown on
the Site Plan), directional signs, bumper guards or curbs, landscaping, lighting
standards and any other improvement required by the City of Roseville and/or
other governmental agencies. In addition, each of the parties may construct and
locate sidewalks and walkways and canopies and marquees (with signs which may be
affixed thereto) over such sidewalks and walkways, so that the same may encroach
a reasonable distance over or upon, as the case may be, the said Common Area(s).

                  All of the foregoing must comply with all applicable laws,
rules, ordinances and regulations of the local governmental authority. Following
the initial construction of a building or other structure in any Building Area,
any portion of such Building Area not improved with a building or other
structure shall be improved with parking and/or driveway and/or landscaped area
and shall be deemed part of the Common Area(s). Any building or other structure
erected within a Building Area, which building or other structure contains less
than the maximum number of square feet of floor area allocated to such Building
Area by this Declaration, may be expanded to, or replaced by, a building
containing up to said maximum, notwithstanding the prior improvements of the
portion of the Building Area not occupied by a building in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence.

         5.2      All buildings constructed in the PACE Restricted Area and HD
Restricted Area shall be constructed subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Declaration. Other than the PACE building or the HD building, no building
in the PACE Restricted Area or HD Restricted Area shall exceed one (1) story in
height (except mezzanines), and such building height shall not exceed 24 feet
(excluding parapets, provided such do not exceed the height of the HD building
or the PACE building) from the finished floor without the prior written consent
of PACE or HD respectively, which may be withheld by PACE or HD in its sole
discretion.

                                       9
<PAGE>

(Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the buildings
located on Parcel [illegible] may be two story in height not to exceed 17 feet
above the finished floor of the HD Building.) No rooftop sign shall be erected
on any such building. All buildings shall be constructed and operated in such a
manner so as to preserve the "unlimited area code classification" as defined in
the appropriate building codes, and shall maintain the same structural
classification, site clearances and sprinkler rating as the buildings on Parcel
10 and Parcel 4.

                               VI. COMMON AREA(S)
                                   --------------

         6.1      Subject to the provisions of Article V, above, no building on
any Parcel in the PACE Restricted Area may be extended beyond the Building
Area(s) shown on the Site Plan without the prior written consent of PACE, which
may be withheld in its sole discretion, and no building on any Parcel in the HD
Restricted Area may be extended beyond the Building Area(s) shown on the Site
Plan without the prior written consent of HD, which consent may be withheld in
its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PACE and HD may expand the
building areas on their respective parcels with Developer's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         6.2      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI to the
contrary, the parking ratios for the Shopping Center shall be as follows:

                  (a)      at least 5 cars per 1000 square feet of actual
Building Area for each Parcel in the PACE Restricted Area except for Parcels 8,
9, and 10;

                  (b)      at least 4.5 cars per 1000 square feet of actual
Building Area for each Parcel in the HD Restricted Area except for Parcel 4;

                  (c)      at least 4.75 cars per 1000 square feet of actual
Building Area for Parcel 4;

                  (d)      at least 4 cars per 1000 square feet of actual
Building Area for Parcels 8 and 9; and

                  (e)      the ratio required by applicable law and permits for
Parcel 10 and all other Parcels in the Shopping Center (except Parcel 4).

         6.3      The parties further agree that there shall be no change in the
parking layout or pattern or traffic flow for the PACE Restricted Area and HD
Restricted Area from that shown on the Site Plan without the prior written
consent of PACE and HD as to their respective restricted areas, which consent
may be withheld in their sole discretion.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         6.4      There shall be no change in the Site Plan, without the prior
written consent of HD and PACE, which consent shall in no event be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

         6.5      Developer shall act as the manager ("Manager") of the Common
Area(s) of the Shopping Center. As such, Manager shall arrange for the
maintenance and repair of the common Areas in such a manner as will be in the
best interests of all Owners and consistent with the maintenance and repair
undertaken by managers of similar shopping centers in Northern California. The
obligations of Manager shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

                  (a)      Patching, repairing and resurfacing the parking
areas; repair and replacement of curbs, gutters and driveways; restriping of
parking areas; repair and replacement of bumper guards; and, repair and
replacement of directional signs.

                  (b)      Regular sweeping, cleaning and maintenance of
sidewalks, walkways, driveways, alley ways and parking areas.

                  (c)      Maintenance, repair and replacement of light
standards and fixtures in the Common Area(s) and replacement of light bulbs.

                  (d)      Maintenance and replacement of all sprinkler systems
and landscaping in a neat, clean and attractive manner.

                  (e)      Administration of security measures to ensure safe
and orderly use of the Common Area.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall have no obligation to replace any
"capital expense items" in the Common Area on Parcel 10 or Parcel 4. Such items
shall be replaced by the respective Owners of said Parcels, unless such Owner
agrees to permit such replacement by Manager. For purposes of this Declaration,
"capital expense items" shall be defined as those expenses which, in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, are not fully chargeable to current account
in the year such are incurred.

         6.6      Real and personal property taxes and assessments attributable
to the Common Area, Building Areas and all improvements on the Parcels shall be
separately assessed to each Parcel and paid by the Owner of such Parcel.

         6.7      Each Owner shall provide separate comprehensive liability
insurance coverage for its Parcel and the Common Area situated thereon in
accordance with the requirements of Section 9.1 below.

         6.8      The costs and expenses relating to the Common Area (excluding
taxes and liability insurance) shall be referred to as

                                       11
<PAGE>

"Common Area Operating Costs" and shall include all of the costs and expenses
referred to in Section 6.5; provided, however, that the Owners of Parcel 10 or
Parcel 4 shall have no obligation to pay any costs for replacement of "capital
expense items" unless such Owner elects to have the Manager replace such items
on the Common Area of its Parcel; all utility expense incurred in the Common
Area for lighting, watering and maintaining the same; the utility expense for
all monument and pylon signs in the Shopping Center; and, a management fee to
the Manager equal to ten percent (10%) of the Common Area Operating Costs;
provided, however, PACE and HD shall have no obligation to pay its pro rata
share of more than five percent (5%) of the Common Area Operating Costs as a
management fee. Except for the management fee, the Common Area Operating Costs
shall not include any profit.

         6.9      Common Area Operating Costs shall be shared by the Owners of
the Parcels, on an estimated basis approved by the Declarants as prescribed
below, in the percentages shown on Exhibit D attached hereto.

         6.10     (a)      The Manager shall prepare annually and submit to each
Declarant a detailed budget setting forth the anticipated Common Area Operating
Costs for the upcoming year (the "Annual Operating Budget"). The Manager shall
use its best efforts to have the first Annual Operating Budget for the Shopping
Center prepared and submitted to the Declarants prior to the opening of the
Shopping Center. Thereafter, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the
Declarants a proposed Annual Operating Budget prior to the end of January of
each calendar year, which budget shall cover the twelve (12) month period
commencing on February 1 of the year submitted through January 31 of the
following year. The Declarants shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the
proposed Annual Operating Budget to either approve or disapprove the same. The
failure of any Declarant to give the Manager timely written notice of its
approval or disapproval of the proposed Annual Operating Budget shall be deemed
said Declarants' approval of same. The proposed Annual Operating Budget shall be
deemed approved and shall be binding on all of the Owners if approved by the
Declarants. If one or more of such Declarants shall disapprove of any of the
terms thereof, said Declarants shall negotiate, in good faith, to establish a
final approved Annual Operating Budget for the following year prior to the onset
of the period covered thereby (i.e., February 1). If approval of the Annual
Operating Budget shall be delayed beyond said date, the Owners shall operate as
though the previous year's Annual Operating Budget were still in effect until
all of the disputed issues are resolved, with adjustments made as necessary
thereafter. If, for any reason, the Declarants are unable to agree upon an
Annual Operating Budget by February 1 of the relevant year, PACE and/or HD may
assume the maintenance of their respective Parcels' Common Area in which event
neither PACE nor HD shall have any obligation to pay any portion of the Annual
Operating Budget with regard to their respective Parcel.

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  (b)      The Manager shall operate, maintain and repair the
Common Area in accordance with the approved Annual Operating Budget and, except
as provided in subparagraph (c) below, shall not include as Common Area
Operating Costs, or bill the Owners for their pro rata share of, any costs or
charges which are not included in the approved Annual Operating Budget;
provided, however, that the Manager shall have the right to include, as a part
of the Common Area Operating Costs properly chargeable to the Owners, charges
associated with any emergency repairs or maintenance to the Common Area which
are necessary to prevent injury or damage to persons or the property ("Emergency
Expenses"). The Manager shall, however, use reasonable efforts to inform all of
the Owners of the necessity of such emergency repairs or maintenance and to
obtain the consent of the Owners thereto prior to such incurred expense.

                  (c)      Prior to incurring a Common Area Operating Cost for
an item or service which is in excess of the cost allocated therefor in the
approved Annual Operating Budget and which would result in a greater than ten
percent (10%) overrun of the total Common Area Operating Costs set forth on the
Annual Operating Budget, the Manager shall send written notice of such expense,
and the necessity therefor, to Declarants, and the Manager shall not incur said
expense (except to the extent it constitutes an Emergency Expense) until
approved by the Declarants. If the Declarants do not agree as to the necessity
of the expense, Declarants shall negotiate, in good faith, to resolve their
differences respecting same. Any Common Area Operating Costs, which does not
require the approval of all of the Declarants, as provided in this subparagraph
(c), may be incurred by the Manager without such consent.

                  Commencing on the opening for business by PACE and thereafter
on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Declaration,
each Owner other than HD shall pay to the Manager such Owner's pro rata share of
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the approved Annual Operating Budget for the current
year. HD shall pay Manager its share of the Annual Operating Budget in twelve
(12) equal installments, upon HD opening for business in the HD building, but in
no event later than eighteen (18) months after the date of commencement of
construction of the HD building. Payments for any partial month shall be a
prorated portion of the normal monthly payment, based on the actual days in such
month. Every twelve (12) months, the Manager shall send each Owner a written
statement itemizing in detail (including backup material and cost breakdowns)
the Common Area Operating Costs actually expended by the Manager for the period
covered by the statement including any expenses which are in excess of those
shown on the approved Annual Operating Budget (a "Common Area Operating Costs
Statement"). If any Owner shall have paid more than its pro rata share of the
Common Area Operating Costs actually incurred during the period in question, the
Manager shall refund the amount of such excess to

                                       13
<PAGE>

Owner within forty-five (45) days. If any Owner shall have paid less than its
pro rata share of said Common Area Operating Costs during said period, such
Owner shall pay to the Manager the amount of such deficiency within forty-five
(45) days. Any Declarant may object to any cost or expense shown on any such
Common Area Operating Costs Statement (but only to the extent that the cost or
expense objected to was not included as a part of the approved Annual Operating
Budget, nor separately approved by all of the Declarants) by giving written
notice of such objection to the Manager, which written notice shall set forth,
in reasonable detail, the grounds for the Declarant's objections ("Disputing
Declarant"). Notwithstanding a Declarant's objection, each Declarant shall
promptly pay all non-disputed Common Area Operating Costs. In addition, a
Declarant may, but shall not be obligated to, pay its pro rata share of the
Common Area Operating Costs to which such Declarant objects, which shall be
deemed to be made under protest.

                  (d)      Upon the final resolution of such dispute(s), the
Manager or the Disputing Declarant, as the case may be, shall promptly pay the
amount owing by the one to the other, together with interest thereon, from the
date of payment by such Owner to the date of reimbursement by the Manager (in
the case of payment owed to a Disputing Declarant), or from the date which is
ten (10) days after the Common Area Operating Costs Statement is delivered to
the Disputing Declarant by the Manager to the date of payment by such Owner (in
the case of payment owed to the Manager). Such payments shall bear interest
equal to five percent (5%) over the discount rate charged by the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco in loans to its member banks as of the twenty-fifth (25th)
day of the calendar month immediately preceding the date of the Common Area
Operating Costs Statement ("Default Rate").

                  (e)      Any Common Area Operating Costs owed to the Manager
hereunder, which is more than thirty (30) days past due, shall, for as long as
such amounts owing to Manager remain unpaid, bear interest at the Default Rate.
Any such penalties or interest which are paid by such delinquent Owner(s) shall
be placed in a fund (the "Common Area Fund"), which Common Area Fund shall be
established and controlled by Manager and shall be utilized by Manager to pay
for unrecovered costs associated with the operation of the Common Area in
accordance with this Declaration. Each Owner acknowledges that the late payment
of any monthly installment will cause the other Owners to incur certain costs
and expenses not otherwise contemplated, the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Such costs and expenses
include, without limitation, administrative and collection costs, processing and
accounting expenses and other costs and expenses necessary and incidental
thereto, such that this charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs
and expenses and is fair compensation to the other Owners for their loss
suffered by such nonpayment. The charge provisions contained herein are in

                                       14
<PAGE>

addition to the Owners' other rights to enforce the provisions of this
Declaration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, these
charge provisions shall not apply to PACE or HD so long as they own their
respective Parcels.

                  (f)      Within two (2) years after receipt of any Common Area
Operating Costs Statement, any Owner may, at its own expense, audit such
Statement. If it shall be determined, as a result of such audit, that the Owner
has paid in excess of the amount required pursuant to this Declaration, then
such overpayment shall be credited toward the next installment that would
otherwise be due from such Owner. In addition, if the Common Area Operating
Costs Statement required such Owner to pay in excess of three percent (3%) over
the amount that such Owner should have paid (as determined by the approved
audit), then the Manager, at its sole expense, shall pay all of the audit
[illegible]:, Owner's reasonable costs and expenses connected with such audit
and such cost or expense shall not be chargeable to Common Area Operating Costs.

         6.11     Should Developer refuse to act as Manager, or in the event
Developer fails to carry out its duties as Manager in a reasonable and competent
manner consistent with the duties of managers of like shopping centers in the
Bay Area, then PACE may assume the maintenance of Parcel 10 Common Areas and HD
may assume the maintenance of Parcel 4 Common Areas. The remaining Owner(s) may
select a substitute or replacement Manager, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Declaration.

         6.12     The Common Area(s) shall not be used for the parking of
trucks, except as follows:

                  (a)      The parking, loading or unloading of trucks during
and in connection with the construction or demolition of buildings and delivery
or removal of trade fixtures, including signs, or the construction, repair or
maintenance of parking area and improvements and facilities herein-permitted;
upon the condition, however, that any such use shall be confined to that which
is reasonably necessary in connection with the matters herein specified and
shall be diligently and promptly performed.

                  (b)      The temporary parking for loading and unloading for
purposes of servicing and supplying the businesses in the Shopping Center.

                  (c)      The temporary parking of trucks that are customers,
personal vehicles by customers of businesses in the Shopping Center while
shopping in the Shopping Center.

         6.13     (a)      The Owner of Parcel 10 and the Owner of Parcel 4
shall each have the right as of January 1 of each year to withdraw their Parcel
from all or a portion of the Common Area maintenance performed by the Manager by
giving the Manager ninety

                                       15
<PAGE>

(90) days prior written notice of its intent to so withdraw its Parcel from the
maintenance and operation provisions described in this Declaration. In addition,
if the Owner of Parcel 10 or Owner of Parcel 4 determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that the Manager is not maintaining the Common Areas in a manner
consistent with a first-class Shopping Center in Northern California, either
Owner shall give written notice thereof to Manager. If Manager fails to improve
the maintenance of the Common Area to the satisfaction of such notifying Owner
within thirty (30) days of the notice, such Owner shall have the right to
withdraw its Parcel from the maintenance and operation provisions hereof.
Effective upon its withdrawal of such parcel, the "Withdrawing Owner" will
perform all work previously performed by the Manager with respect to its Parcel,
except that such Owner shall not be required to pay its pro rata share of the
Annual Operating Budget attributable to its Parcel. To the extent that the
Withdrawing Owner elects to maintain its own Parcel, and the balance of the PACE
Restricted Area or HD Restricted Area is maintained by Manager, such Owner shall
pay its allotted share (as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto) of all the
costs of maintaining the Common Areas in its restricted area. The Declarants
agree that the PACE Restricted Area less Parcel 10 equals 1.5 acres and that the
HD Restricted Area less Parcel 4 equals 1.5 acres.

                  (b)      The Withdrawing Owner may cause the Manager to
subsequently re-maintain and operate its Parcel Common Area upon ninety (90)
days written notice to Manager prior to January 1 of the next year.

                     VII. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF BUILDINGS
                          -----------------------------------

         7.1      Subject to the provisions of this Declaration, each Owner
shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, replace, restore, rebuild
and decorate the exterior of all buildings and improvements situated upon and
within its Parcel in a neat, sanitary and attractive condition as may be
reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the appearance and value of the
Shopping Center.

         7.2      Until such time as all buildings and improvements upon a
Parcel have been completed, the Owner of the Parcel shall maintain such Parcel
in a neat, clean and either landscaped or dust capped condition.

         7.3      Each Owner shall be liable for any damage resulting from the
failure to properly repair, maintain or replace as hereinabove required.

                            VIII. GRANT OF EASEMENTS
                                  ------------------

         8.1      Each party hereto, as grantor, hereby grants to the other
party or parties for the benefit of said other party or

                                       16
<PAGE>

parties, its successors, assigns, and for the use of its other tenants,
customers, employees and invitees, and the customers, employees and invitees of
such tenants, and for the benefit of the Parcel or Parcels belonging to each
party and to the other party or parties, as grantee(s), the following:

                  (a)      A non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress by
vehicular and pedestrian traffic and vehicles parking upon, over and across that
portion of the Common Area lying within the grantor's Parcel or Parcels and the
public streets adjacent to the Common Area.

                  (b)      Non-exclusive easements under, through and across
that portion of the Common Area within the grantor's Parcel or Parcels for the
installation, maintenance, removal and replacement of water drainage systems or
structures, water mains, sewers, water sprinkler system lines, telephones or
electrical conduits or systems, gas mains, and other public utilities and
service easements. All such systems, structures, mains, sewers, conduits, lines
and other public utility instrumentalities shall be installed and maintained
below the ground level or surface of the Shopping Center, except where the
instrumentality of the particular utility involved is not amendable to being
placed underground (such as, but not limited to, transformers and
risers). Any above-ground utilities shall be located so that there
will be unimpeded access for vehicles and trucks to and from the loading areas
of the Building Area and to and from the public streets to the loading areas of
the Building Area. In the event that it is necessary for any party hereto to
cause the installation of a storm drain, utility line or sewer across the Common
Area subsequent to the initial paving and improving of the Common Area, the
parties agree not to unreasonably withhold the granting of an additional
easement or easements; provided, that the grant thereof does not unreasonably
interfere with the normal operation of any business in the Shopping Center and
no affirmative monetary obligation is imposed upon the grantor; and, provided
the grantee(s) of such easement(s) promptly restore the surface of the Common
Area to its condition immediately prior to its disturbance at such grantee(s)'
sole cost and expense.

                  (c)      a non-exclusive easement for the temporary occupation
of the Common Area lying within the grantor's Parcel or Parcels for the purpose
of facilitating construction and improvement of Building Area(s) as permitted
under this Declaration, so long as the use of this easement is kept to a minimum
and does not unreasonably interfere with (i) the construction and improvement on
Building Area(s) on other Parcel(s) in the Shopping Center and (ii) the use of
the Common Area by the Owners of other Parcel(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the prior consent of PACE and/or HD, as the case may be, shall be required for
any construction staging area for any construction which may occur in either the
PACE Restricted Area and/or HD

                                       17
<PAGE>

Restricted Area, respectively, after the initial construction of the Shopping
Center.

                  (d)      A non-exclusive perpetual easement for minor
encroachments of building foundations, footings and eaves (including, but not
limited to, canopies and marquees) appurtenant to any building or structure on a
Parcel. Such encroachment(s), however, shall be limited to a projection of no
more than five (5') feet for footings; fifteen (15') feet for eaves; and, one
(1') foot for foundations, columns, walls, etc.; and, such encroachment must
have been unintentional. If the encroachment is removed by a razing of a
building or other improvement, the non-exclusive perpetual easement shall
terminate.

         8.2      All storm drains, utility lines, transformers and meters of
any Owner of any part of the Shopping Center, their successors, assigns and
tenants, shall be maintained in a safe condition. No grantee(s) of a utility
easement under this Section shall, in the use, construction, reconstruction,
operation, maintenance or repair of any storm drains, utility lines,
transformers and meters, in any way unreasonably interfere, obstruct or delay
the grantor of said easements, business or the public access to and from said
business, or interfere, obstruct or delay in any way the receiving of
merchandise by said grantor, or in the grantor's location, construction,
reconstruction and maintenance, use or repair of its service facility area.

         8.3      In addition to the foregoing and in connection with the work
performed within the Building Area, the Declarants agree that incidental
encroachments upon the Common Area may occur as a result of the use of ladders,
scaffolding, storefront barricades and similar facilities resulting in temporary
obstruction of portions of the Common Area, all of which are permitted
hereunder, so long as their use is kept within reasonable requirements of
construction work expeditiously pursued. Common Area may be utilized for ingress
and egress of vehicles transporting construction material, equipment and
persons employed in connection with any work provided for herein and temporary
storage of material and vehicles being utilized in connection with such
construction, subject to all the other terms of this Declaration.

         8.4      No walls, fences or barriers of any sort or kind shall be
constructed or maintained in the PACE Restricted Area or HD Restricted Area, or
any portion thereof, by an Owner which shall prevent or impair the use or
exercise of any of the easements granted herein, or free access and movement,
including, without limitation, pedestrian and vehicular traffic between the
various Parcels; provided, however, reasonable traffic controls as may be
necessary to guide and control the orderly flow of traffic may be installed, so
long as access driveways to the parking area in the PACE Restricted Area or HD
Restricted Area are not closed or blocked, and the traffic circulation pattern
of the

                                       18
<PAGE>

Common Area in the PACE Restricted Area and HD Restricted Area, as shown on the
Site Plan, is not changed or affected.

         8.5      Each Owner shall use reasonable efforts to cause its tenants
and employees to park only within the employees' parking areas for its Parcel.

                   IX. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS; RECONSTRUCTION
                       --------------------------------------

         9.1      Each Owner of a Parcel in the Shopping Center shall carry, at
its sole cost, commercial general liability insurance, or the equivalent,
covering the Common Area on such Owner's Parcel or Parcels. Such coverage shall
be by a single limit policy covering bodily injury and property damage in the
minimum amount of $2,000,000 with a policy of excess insurance of at least
$5,000,000. Each policy shall name the Owners of the other Parcels as additional
insureds. The single limit coverage of $2,000,000 and excess coverage of
$5,000,000 shall be increased at least every two (2) years with the prior
written consent of the PACE and HD by written notice to the Owners of the
Parcels by the Manager of the common Area to maintain coverage similar to that
required in comparable shopping centers in Northern California. Each policy of
commercial general liability shall contain the following endorsements: (a)
deletion of any employee exclusion for personal injury coverage; (b) inclusion
of employees as additional insureds; (c) inclusion of blanket contractual
coverage; (d) inclusion of broad form coverage for property damage, products,
completed operations, Owners' protection and personal injury; (e) deletion of
any liquor liability exclusions; and, (f) inclusion of coverage for employers'
automobile non-ownership liability. All such insurance is to be primary and
non-contributory; shall provide for severability of interests; shall provide
that an act or omission of one of the insureds, or additional insureds, that
would void or otherwise reduce [illegible]'s AXV coverage, will not void or
reduce coverage as to such insured or as to the additional insureds, as the case
may be; shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury
and damage that occurs or arises (or the onset of which occurs or arises),
in whole or in part, during the policy period and shall be issued by an insurer
licensed to do business in the State of California and rated AXV or better by
[illegible]'s Insurance Carriers. Each Owner of a Parcel will give the other
Owners of Parcels in the Shopping Center a certificate of insurance evidencing
that the requisite coverage is in effect; a new certificate shall be similarly
provided thirty (30) days before the expiration of an existing policy. Each
certificate shall confirm that the underlying policy of insurance cannot be
cancelled or modified in a material manner without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the other Owners.

         9.2      Each Owner shall carry, or cause its tenants to carry, fire
insurance with extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements
upon all buildings located

                                       19
<PAGE>

in the Building Areas upon its Parcel in an amount not less than one hundred
percent (100%) of replacement value (excluding foundations and excavations)
thereof.

         9.3      PACE and HD, their successors or assigns, and any other Owner,
specifically approved by Developer, may each elect to self-insure any risk(s)
that such Owner is required to insure under this Declaration, as long as such
Owner or the corporate parent maintains a net worth of One Hundred Million
Dollars ($100,000,000) as disclosed by the publicly available documents for
publicly traded entity or by a certified letter from the Chief Financial Officer
of the entity if not publicly traded.

         9.4      In the event of a casualty loss to any building in the
Building Area(s) upon an Owner's Parcel, such Owner shall either: (i) repair
such damage in a timely manner to a condition substantially similar to that
which existed prior to the date of such casualty, or (ii) such Owner shall cause
the damaged building(s) to be torn down and the Parcel paved and/or landscaped
in a manner consistent with the balance of the Shopping Center.

         9.5      Each Owner of a Parcel in the Shopping Center, for itself, and
to the extent it is legally possible for it to do so, on behalf of its insurer,
shall release the other Owners from any liability for (i) any loss or damage to
the property of the other Owners located upon or in the Shopping Center; (ii)
any loss or damage to the buildings or other improvements in the Shopping Center
or the content thereof; and, (iii) any other direct or indirect loss or damage
caused by fire or other risks, which loss or damage is of the type generally
covered by standard casualty insurance coverage.

         Each Owner shall, to the extent such insurance endorsement is
available, obtain for the benefit of the other Owners a waiver of any right of
subrogation which the insurer of such Owner may acquire against the other Owners
by virtue of the payment of any such loss covered by such insurance. The
foregoing waiver and release shall be operative only so long as the same shall
not preclude any Owner from obtaining insurance and shall have no effect to the
extent that it diminishes, reduces or impairs the liability of any insurer or
the scope of any coverage under any policy applicable to the Shopping Center or
any buildings therein or part thereof, or increases the cost of any such
insurance. If an Owner cannot obtain any endorsement, waiver and/or release
provided for in this Section 9.5, such Owner shall notify the other Owners in
writing.

         9.6       In the event an Owner sells its Parcel, it shall notify
Manager in writing of such sale. Manager shall immediately notify the New Owner
of the required insurance coverage hereunder and the New Owner shall deliver the
required certificates of insurance to Manager within thirty (30) days after the
New Owner

                                       20
<PAGE>

acquires title to the Parcel and Manager shall provide copies of such
certificates of insurance to the other Owners.

                      X.  LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE AREA AND
                          RIGHTS OF THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE
                          -------------------------------

         10.1     In the event of a failure by Manager to maintain the landscape
maintenance area as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto ("Landscape Maintenance
Area"), after forty-five (45) days written notice from the City to Manager, the
City may, but shall not be obligated to, do any maintenance work required to be
done by Manager with respect to the Landscape Maintenance Area. The City, its
agents, employees and contractors are hereby granted a right of entry and
temporary working easement over the Shopping Center to accomplish all such
maintenance work. The City shall hold the Owners and Managers harmless from any
and all liability, damage, expense, causes of action, suits, claims or judgments
arising from personal injury, death or property damage and occurring on any
Parcel as a result of City's performance of maintenance work under this
Agreement.

         10.2     The City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file
an action in its own right in the name of the Developer or in the name of any
successor or assign of the Developer, in law or equity against the party or
parties violating or attempting to violate the provisions of this Declaration to
the extent Developer has the authority to do so; provided, however, that prior
to the enforcement thereof by the City, the City shall give Developer written
notice of the City's intention to bring such action and describe in reasonable
detail the nature of the violation. Following receipt of notice, Developer shall
have thirty (30) days within which to commence the enforcement of the complaint
of violation and only if Developer fails to act within such period may the City
commence enforcement as aforesaid. Developer's failure to enforce compliance
within said period shall in no event constitute a breach by Developer hereunder.
In the event the City is the prevailing party in any action brought pursuant to
this Declaration, the City shall be entitled to its costs of suit and reasonable
attorneys' fees in addition to the damages awarded in any judgment. Judgment
shall be joint and several and may be recorded as a judgment lien.

                       XI. APPROVAL BY OWNERS AND LESSEES
                           ------------------------------

         Wherever the consent and approval of an Owner is required hereunder,
the term "Owner" shall be construed to include any long-term lessee of a Parcel
with 50,000 square feet of gross leasable area, whose original lease term
exceeds twenty (20) years, whose interest appears in the Official Records of
Placer County, California. In the event any Owner having a right of approval
hereunder fails to give such approval or specific grounds for disapproval
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written

                                       21
<PAGE>

request therefor (which shall include such background data as may be necessary
to make an informed decision on such request), said Owner shall be deemed to
have given its approval, unless such right of approval is subject to such
Owner's sole discretion in which case the failure to grant approval within the
prescribed time period shall be deemed a disapproval. If a party receiving such
request for consent or approval needs additional background information to be
able to respond to such request, such party must request such additional
background information within fifteen (15) days after first receiving such
request for consent or approval.

                          XII. NOT A PUBLIC DEDICATION
                               -----------------------

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a gift or dedication of
any portion of the Shopping Center to the general public or for the general
public or for any public purposes whatsoever, it being the intention of
Declarants that this Declaration shall be strictly limited to and for the
purposes herein expressed. The right of the public or any person to make any use
whatsoever of the Shopping Center or any portion thereof (other than any use
expressly allowed by a written or recorded map, agreement, deed or dedication)
is by permission and subject to control of the Owners. Notwithstanding any other
provisions herein to the contrary, the Owners of the Parcels in the Shopping
Center, by mutual agreement, may periodically restrict ingress to and egress
from the Shopping Center in order to prevent a prescriptive easement from
arising by reason of continued public use.

                   XIII. BREACH SHALL NOT PERMIT TERMINATION
                         -----------------------------------

         No breach of this Declaration shall entitle any Owner to cancel,
rescind or otherwise terminate this Declaration, but such limitation shall not
affect in any manner any other rights or remedies which such Owner, may have
hereunder by reason of any breach of this Declaration. Any breach of any of said
covenants, conditions or restrictions, however, shall not defeat or render
invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith for value,
but such covenants, conditions or restrictions shall be binding upon and
effective against such Owner of any portion of the Shopping Center thereof whose
title is acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.

                  XIV. BUILDING AREA(S) AND SIDEWALK INDEMNITY
                       ---------------------------------------

         Each Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Owner(s) harmless
from and against all claims, expenses, liabilities, loss, damage and costs,
including any actions or proceedings in connection therewith, and including
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with, arising from, due to,
or as a result of, the death of or any accident, injury, loss or damage,
howsoever caused, to any person or loss or damage to the property of any person
as shall occur in any building or on a

                                       22
<PAGE>

sidewalk located on each Owner's Parcel, except claims resulting from the gross
negligence or willful act or omission of the indemnified Owner or any occupant
of any such Owner's Parcel, or the agent, servants or employees of such
indemnified Owner, wherever the same may occur. Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Article XIV to the contrary, each Owner hereto waives any
right of recovery against the other Owner(s) for any loss, damages or injury to
the extent the same is covered by insurance provided for by this Declaration, so
long as such waiver does not violate such policy or policies of insurance.

                           XV. COMMON AREA INDEMNITY
                               ---------------------

Each Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Owners harmless from and
against, any and all claims, expenses, liabilities, loss, damage and costs,
including any actions or attorneys' fees incurred in connection with, arising
from, due to, or as a result of, the death of or any accident, injury, loss or
damage, howsoever caused, to any person or loss of or damage to the property of
any person as shall occur in or about the common Area located on each Owner's
respective Parcel or Parcels, except claims resulting from the gross negligence
or willful act or omission of the indemnified Owner or any occupant of any such
Owner's Parcel or Parcels, or the agent, servants or employees of such
indemnified Owner, wherever the same may occur. Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Article XV to the contrary, each Owner hereto waives any
right of recovery against the other Owner(s) for any loss, damage or injury to
the extent the same is covered by insurance provided for by this Declaration, so
long as such waiver does not violate such policy or policies of insurance.

                               XVI. SEVERABILITY
                                    ------------

         If any clause, sentence or other portion of this Declaration shall
become illegal, null or void for any reason, or shall be held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be so, the remaining portions thereof shall remain in
full force and effect, to the extent the enforcement of the remaining provisions
is/are reasonable under the circumstances.

                         XVII. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES
                               ------------------------

         If any Owner of any portion of the Shopping Center shall, during the
term of this Declaration, default in the full, faithful and punctual performance
of any obligation required hereunder, and if at the end of thirty (30) days
after written notice from any other Owner of a portion of the Shopping Center,
stating with particularity the nature and extent of such default, the defaulting
Owner has failed to cure such default, or if a diligent effort is not then being
made to cure such default, than any other Owner of a Parcel or Parcels in the
Shopping Center shall, in addition to all other remedies it may have at law or
in equity, have the right

                                       23
<PAGE>

to perform such obligation of this Declaration on behalf of such defaulting
Owner and be reimbursed by such defaulting Owner for the cost thereof, together
with interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. Any such claim for
reimbursement, together with interest as aforesaid, shall be a secured right,
and a lien therefor may attach to the portion of the Shopping Center and
improvements thereon owned by the defaulting party, effective upon recordation
of a notice of claim of lien in the Recorder's Office of the County of Placer,
State of California, signed and certified, stating the amount due, the name of
the Owner and the legal description of the Parcel or Parcels owned by such
defaulting Owner. Such lien shall be subordinate to any first mortgage or deed
of trust now or hereafter covering any portion of the Shopping Center and
improvements thereon, and any purchaser at any foreclosure or trustee's sale (as
well as any grantee by deed in lieu of foreclosure or trustee's sale) under any
such first mortgage or deed of trust shall take title free and clear from any
such then existing lien, but otherwise subject to the provisions of this
Declaration. The failure of the Owner or Owners of any Parcel in the Shopping
Center to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of
the promises, covenants, conditions, restrictions or agreements of this
Declaration shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future
breach of such provisions.

                               XVIII. COURT COSTS
                                      -----------

         Should suit or legal action be instituted to enforce any of the
foregoing terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions and encumbrances, then the
non-prevailing party, in addition to any judgment, order or decree, agrees to
pay the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as may
be awarded by a court adjudging or decreeing such suit or action.

                               XIX. MODIFICATION
                                    ------------

         This Declaration may only be modified by an instrument in writing, in
recordable form, executed by Declarants, their successors or assigns, and
recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Placer, State of
California.

                                  XX. NOTICES

RE:      CENTERPOINTE MARKETPLACE
         ROSEVILLE, CA

Dear Dave:

In follow up to our meeting and phone conversations, attached are the proposed
budgets for the operation and maintenance of the common areas at Centerpointe
Marketplace. Based upon the historical expenses you provided and my own
estimates, I prepared two budgets. I did a complete walk through of the common
areas with Jim Bennett of Scenic Landscaping on December 31st. Based upon my
inspection, the common areas are in need of improvements, including tree/plant
replacement, tree trimming/staking, turf/color replacement, sign replacements at
entrances, irrigation repairs, asphalt/concrete repairs, striping/painting and
general site repairs.

The first budget (common area) is the estimated expenses for the maintenance and
management of the common area landscaping and entrances shared by all property
owners, including Pace and Home Depot. This budget includes funds for landscape
and site improvements to enhance the center as well as regular operational
expenses for the existing landscape improvements.

The second budget (parking lot) excludes the parking lots for Pace and Home
Depot. This budget is for the maintenance, future sealing and restriping of the
existing parking lots and sidewalks. This budget provides for the weekly
sweeping, trash pickup, sign repairs/replacement, parking lot light maintenance
and reserves for the future sealing and striping of the existing parking areas
excluding Pace and Home Depot. This budget can be adjusted to add additional
parking areas on the vacant parcels and Home/Pace parcels if they decide to join
the program. The square footages of the pavement areas is estimated based upon
the parcel acreage less the building square footage adjusted for non paved
areas. This number could be fine tuned if you have some engineers or site
development actuals for the paved areas. This budget does not include the cost
of electricity for the parking lot lights as I believe they run off the
individual buildings.

A. INTRODUCTION

1.       Purpose and Intent

         These Signage Guidelines have been established for CenterPointe
         Marketplace in order to provide a coordinated graphic system that
         communicates information in a distinctive and aesthetically pleasing
         manner. The Guidelines also provide for a visual consistency between
         tenant signage and project site signage (see Exhibits A through D).
         Consistency minimizes confusion, promotes an image of quality, and
         indicates concern for the property of owners and tenants.

         In accomplishing the goals of good design, these signage guidelines
         must be seen as a method of describing the desired result and not as an
         inflexible set of standards. The guidelines established set minimum
         standards that are reasonable and equitable and that provide sufficient
         flexibility to: (1) accommodate needs for making businesses
         recognizable and marketable, (2) establish individual identities (3)
         reflect individual preferences and (4) encourage tasteful innovation.
         The use of professional environmental graphic designers to determine
         exact design detailing and sign placement is highly encouraged. Retail
         commercial uses and restaurants require signage that reflects
         individual themes which must be tastefully designed in order to attract
         attention and be competitive.

         The "Guideline Specifications" portion of this document describes the
         major types of signs permitted for retail use at CenterPointe
         Marketplace in terms of function and criteria for execution. Standards
         have been set to regulate signage details including size, location,

A. INTRODUCTION

         1. Purpose and Intent

         These signage guidelines have been established for O.P. Parcel 14, in
         order to provide a cohesive and coordinated signage system that
         aesthetically compliments the project architecture and ensures quality
         signage that promotes visual consistency throughout the project.

         It's intent is to promote individual business identity and preferences,
         tasteful innovation and to promote the marketability of the entire
         project as well as individual businesses.

         Standards have been set to regulate signage details including size,
         location, materials, methods of attachment, illumination, maintenance,
         durability, etc.

         It is the tenant's responsibility to submit to-scale design drawings to
         the landlord's representative. Drawings should specify construction
         materials, detailed methods of fabrication, colors, location plan and
         elevations.

         All tenant signage, prior to fabrication and installation, requires
         landlord approval and a standard City of Roseville sign permit.

RE:      CENTERPOINTE MARKETPLACE
         ROSEVILLE, CA

Dear Dave:

In follow up to our meeting and phone conversations, attached are the proposed
budgets for the operation and maintenance of the common areas at Centerpointe
Marketplace. Based upon the historical expenses you provided and my own
estimates, I prepared two budgets. I did a complete walk through of the common
areas with Jim Bennett of Scenic Landscaping on December 31st. Based upon my
inspection, the common areas are in need of improvements, including tree/plant
replacement, tree trimming/staking, turf/color replacement, sign replacements at
entrances, irrigation repairs, asphalt/concrete repairs, striping/painting and
general site repairs.

The first budget (common area) is the estimated expenses for the maintenance and
management of the common area landscaping and entrances shared by all property
owners, including Pace and Home Depot. This budget includes funds for landscape
and site improvements to enhance the center as well as regular operational
expenses for the existing landscape improvements.

The second budget (parking lot) excludes the parking lots for Pace and Home
Depot. This budget is for the maintenance, future sealing and restriping of the
existing parking lots and sidewalks. This budget provides for the weekly
sweeping, trash pickup, sign repairs/replacement, parking lot light maintenance
and reserves for the future sealing and striping of the existing parking areas
excluding Pace and Home Depot. This budget can be adjusted to add additional
parking areas on the vacant parcels and Home/Pace parcels if they decide to join
the program. The square footages of the pavement areas is estimated based upon
the parcel acreage less the building square footage adjusted for non paved
areas. This number could be fine tuned if you have some engineers or site
development actuals for the paved areas. This budget does not include the cost
of electricity for the parking lot lights as I believe they run off the
individual buildings.

2.2   Delay of Commencement. Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of
      Landlord for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on
      the commencement date set forth in Section 2.1, Landlord shall not be
      liable for any damage thereby nor shall such inability affect the validity
      of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, but in such case
      Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent or other monetary sums until
      possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant. For any delay in
      delivery of possession of the Premises, the expiration date of the term of
      the lease shall be extended by the period of time computed from the
      scheduled commencement date to the date possession is tendered. In the
      event Landlord shall not have delivered possession of the Premises within
      six (6) months from the scheduled commencement date, then Tenant at its
      option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days after the end of said six
      (6) month period, may terminate this Lease and upon Landlord's return of
      any monies previously deposited by Tenant, the parties shall have no
      further rights or liabilities toward each other.

            (i)   Beginning on the commencement date hereof and continuing until
                  1/31/06 the sum of $2800.00 per month;
            (ii)  Each subsequent year including option years will have Annual

rent and any of the monetary sums due herewith, Landlord may (but shall not be
required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for
the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend by reason of Tenant's
default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord
may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of said Deposit is so
used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand

<PAGE>

restore the Security Deposit to its original amount; Tenant's failure to do so
shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep
this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security
Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's
option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration
of the Lease term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the event of
termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said
Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest whereupon Tenant agrees to release
Landlord from liability for the return of such Deposit or the accounting
therefore.

      modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises except as provided
      in this Lease. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall
      conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such

      detail the respects in which the Premises or the Building were not in
      satisfactory condition.

            cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building
            or any part thereof or any of its contents, nor shall Tenant sell or
            Permit to be kept, used or sold in or about said Premises any

            objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit
            any nuisance to be committed in or about the Premises. Tenant shall
            not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the
            Premises.

      (c)   Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in
            or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law,
            statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation or requirement
            of duly constituted public authorities now in force or which may
            hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall at its sole cost
            and expense promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinance and
            governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or
            which may hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any
            board of fire underwriters or other similar body now hereafter
            constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy
            of the Premises, excluding structural changes not relating to or
            affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, or not
            relating or afforded by Tenant's improvements or acts. The judgment
            of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in
            any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or
            not, that Tenant had violated any law, statute, ordinance or
            governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of
            the fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

6.3   Tenant's Additional Requirements.

      (a)   Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, which
            shall not be unreasonably withheld, use any apparatus or device in

            data processing machines, and machines using current in excess of
            110 volts, which will in any way increase the amount of electricity

      (b)   If tenant shall require water or electric current in excess of that
            usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as general
            office space, Tenant shall first procure the consent of Landlord for
            the use thereof, which consent Landlord may refuse and Landlord may
            cause a water meter or electric current meter to be installed in the
            Premises, so as to measure the amount of water and electric current
            consumed for any such other use. The cost of such meters and of
            installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by
            Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord promptly upon demand by
            Landlord for all such water and electric current consumed as shown
            by said meters, at the rates charged for such services by the City

      (c)   Whenever heat generating machines or equipment are used in the
            Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the
            air conditioning system, Landlord reserves the right to install
            supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and the cost
            thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and
            maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand
            by Landlord.

6.4   Non-Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be
      entitled to, any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of Landlord's
      failure to furnish any of the foregoing when such failure is caused by
      accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor
      disturbances or labor disputes of any character, or by any other cause
      similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord
      shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to
      property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental
      to failure to furnish any of the foregoing.

7.    MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

7.1   Maintenance and Repairs.

      (a)   Landlord's Obligation. Landlord shall maintain in good condition the
            Building and all other portions of the Premises not the obligation
            of Tenant or any other tenant in the Building.

      (b)   Tenant's Obligation.

            (i)   Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, except for services
                  furnished by Landlord pursuant to Section 6 hereof, shall
                  maintain the Premises in good condition including the interior
                  surfaces of the ceilings, walls and floors, all doors,
                  interior windows, exterior windows at or below street level,
                  all plumbing, wiring, switches, fixtures and special items in
                  excess of building standard furnishings, and equipment
                  installed by or at the expense of Tenant. Tenant expressly
                  waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect
                  which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs
                  at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of
                  Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order,
                  condition and repair.

            (ii)  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
                  Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as
                  received, ordinary wear and tear resulting from use of the
                  Premises for office purposes for normal business hours
                  (average of 40 hours per week) and damage by fire, earthquake,
                  act of God or the elements alone excepted, and shall promptly
                  remove or cause to be removed at Tenant's expense from the
                  Premises, and the Building any signs, notices and displays
                  placed thereon by Tenant.

            (iii) Tenant agrees to repair any damage to the Premises or the
                  Building caused by or in connection with the removal of any
                  articles of personal property, business or trade fixtures, or
                  any improvement to the Premises made by Tenant, including
                  without limitation thereto, repairing the floor and patching
                  and painting the walls where required by Landlord to
                  Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, all at Tenant's sole cost
                  and expense. Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against any
                  loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in
                  surrendering the Premises, including without limitation any
                  claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.

            (iv)  In the event Tenant fails to maintain the Premises in good
                  condition, Landlord shall give Tenant notice to do such acts
                  as are reasonably required to so maintain the Premises. In the
                  event Tenant fails to promptly commence such work and
                  diligently prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall
                  have the right to do such acts at the expense of Tenant. Any
                  amount expended by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant promptly
                  after demand with interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from
                  the date of such work. Landlord shall have no liability to
                  Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or interference with the
                  use of the Premises by Tenant as a result of performing any
                  such work.

      (c)   Compliance with Law. Landlord and Tenant shall each do all acts
            required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations
            and rules of any public authority relating to their respective
            maintenance obligations as set forth herein. Landlord is responsible
            to comply with Americans With Disabilities Act for interior and
            exterior common areas; Tenant is responsible for compliance within
            Tenant's exclusive space. If at any time during the lease Tenant is
            required to provide Handicap Access to front door, Landlord shall
            provide said alteration up to a cost of $2000.00.

7.2   Alterations and Additions.

      (a)   Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the
            Premises or any part thereof without obtaining the prior written
            consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
            Tenant shall at Tenant's sole cost prepare the premises for
            occupancy as detailed in Addendum marked Exhibit "C". Tenant agrees
            to accept the Premises per Exhibit "A". Landlord agrees to reimburse
            Tenant up to $12,250 as a tenant improvement allowance. Said
            allowance shall be due and payable to Tenant within fourteen (l4)
            days after the following conditions have been met:

                  1)    Tenant is open for business with the public in the
                        entire Premises and has paid the first month's rent due

                        waivers and paid receipts for physical improvements
                        performed within and for the Premises. This support
                        provided to Landlord should be reasonably satisfactory
                        in establishing payment in full for all labor and
                        materials, which may form a predicate for a claim of
                        lien against the Premises. The actual amount of the
                        reimbursement will be up to $12,250.
                  3)    A certificate of occupancy (or an equivalent) from the
                        governmental authority having jurisdiction has been
                        delivered to Landlord.
                  4)    Landlord has received a certificate of insurance as
                        required by Section 11.
                  5)    Receipt by Landlord of evidence that Tenant has paid its
                        utility deposits.
                  6)    Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's As Built plans if any

            cost:

                  1)    Landlord shall clean and/or paint exterior walls as
                        needed.
                  2)    Connect Suite A's electric service and HVAC equipment to
                        "Adjacent Room".

      (c)   Landlord may impose as a condition of the aforesaid consent such
            requirements as Landlord may deem necessary in its reasonable
            discretion, including without limitation thereto, the manner in
            which the work is done, a right of approval of the contractor by
            whom the work is to be performed, the times during which it is to be
            accomplished, and the requirement that upon written request of
            Landlord prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Lease, Tenant will remove any and all permanent improvements or
            additions to the Premises installed at Tenant's expense and all
            movable partitions, counters, personal property, equipment, fixtures
            and furniture.

      (d)   All such alterations, additions or improvements shall at the
            expiration or earlier termination of the Lease become the property
            of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises,
            unless specified pursuant to Section 7.2 (b) above.

      (e)   All articles of personal property and all business and trade
            fixtures, machinery and equipment, cabinetwork, furniture and
            moveable partitions owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its
            expense in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant
            and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Lease term when
            Tenant is not in default hereunder.

      (f)   Tenant at lease termination, at Tenant's expense, shall, at option
            of Landlord, remove all Tenant Improvements so that space becomes a
            "plain vanilla shell".

8.    ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times have the right to enter the
Premises to inspect the same, subject to reasonable notice to Tenant, and
employees of Tenant must be present at time of entry, to supply any service to
be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit said Premises to
prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility and "for
lease" signs, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of

character of the work to

                                       5

be performed, always providing the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked
thereby, and further providing that the business of Tenant shall not be
interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any
injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of
occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned
thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have
and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the
Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right
to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an
emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the
Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not
under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful
entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the
Premises or any portion thereof.

9.    LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Premises and any building of which the Premises are a part
free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished, or
obligations incurred by Tenant and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Landlord from any liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed or
materials furnished by or at the direction of Tenant. In the event that Tenant
shall not, within twenty (20) days following the imposition of any such lien,
cause such lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies, provided herein and by
law, the right, but no obligation, to cause the same to be released by such
means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to
such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in
connection therewith including attorneys' fees and costs shall be payable to
Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the

shall give to Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of
the expected date of commencement of any work relating to alterations or
additions to the Premises.

10.   INDEMNITY

10.1  Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
      defend Landlord against any and all claims of liability for any injury or
      damage to any person or property whatsoever except where caused by the
      negligent and/or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents; (1)
      occurring in, or about the Premises or any part thereof, and (2) occurring
      in, on or about any facilities (including, without prejudice to the
      generality of the term "facilities", elevators, stairways, passageways,
      hallways, and parking areas), the use of which Tenant may have in
      conjunction with other tenants of the Building, when such injury or damage
      is caused in part or in whole by the act, negligence, fault or omission of
      any duty with respect to the same by Tenant, its agents, contractors,
      employees or invitees. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold Landlord
      harmless from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or
      default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be
      performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or
      negligence of Tenant, or any of its agents, contractors, employees and
      from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities
      incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding
      brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding be brought against
      Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord,
      shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonable
      satisfactory to Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be
      liable for damage or injury occasioned by the negligence or intentional
      acts of Landlord and its designated agents or employees unless covered by
      insurance Tenant is required to provide.

      Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby
      assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or
      about the Premises from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
      respect thereof against Landlord, except where caused by the negligent
      and/or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents.

10.2  Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for
      injury or damage which maybe sustained by the person, good, wares,
      merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers,
      or any other person in or about the Premises cause by or resulting from
      fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, which may leak or flow from
      or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage,
      obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
      plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures of the same whether the
      damage or injury 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. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from
      any act or neglect of any other tenant of the Building.

      its own cost and expense procure and continue in force the following
      insurance coverage:

            combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not
            less than $1,000,000.

<PAGE>

      (b)   Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance, including vandalism and
            malicious mischief coverage, in an amount equal to the full
            replacement value of all fixtures, furniture and improvements
            install by or at the expense of Tenant.

11.2  Insurance Policies. The aforementioned minimum limits of policies shall in
      no event limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. The aforementioned
      insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Said insurance
      shall be with companies having rating of not less than A+ in "Best's
      Insurance Guide". Tenant shall furnish from the insurance companies or
      cause the insurance companies to furnish certificates of coverage. No such
      policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other
      modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior written
      notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as
      primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage
      which Landlord may carry. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to
      the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or
      binders. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such
      insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said
      insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant the premiums together with
      a twenty-five percent (25%) handling charge, payable upon demand. Tenant
      shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to
      blanket policies obtained by Tenant provided such blanket policies
      expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Tenant as required by
      this Lease.

12.   DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

12.1  Partial Damage-Insured. In the event the Premises or the Building are
      damaged by any casualty which is covered under fire and extended coverage
      insurance carried by Landlord, then Landlord shall restore such damage
      provided insurance proceeds are available to pay eighty percent (80%) of
      the cost of restoration, or if the restoration cannot be completed within
      sixty (60) days after the commencement of work in the opinion of the
      registered architect or engineer appointed by Landlord, then Landlord
      shall have the option either to (1) repair or restore such damage, this
      Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the rent to be
      proportionately abated as hereinabove provided, or (2) give notice to
      Tenant, at any time within thirty (30) days after such damage, terminating
      this Lease as of a date to be specified in such notice, which date shall
      be not less than thirty (30) not more than sixty (60) days after giving
      such notice. In the event of the giving of such notice, this Lease shall
      expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on such
      date so specified in such notice and the rent, reduced by any
      proportionate reduction based upon the extent, if any, to which said
      damage interfered with the use and occupancy of Tenant, shall be paid to
      the date of such termination; Landlord agrees to refund to the Tenant any
      rent theretofore paid in advance for any period of time subsequent to such
      date.

12.2  Total Destruction. In the event the Premises are totally destroyed or the
      Premises cannot be restored as required herein under applicable laws and
      regulations, notwithstanding the availability of insurance proceeds, this
      Lease shall be terminated effective the date of the damage.

12.3  Damage Near End of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained in this Section 12, Landlord shall not have any obligation
      whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the premises when the damage
      resulting from any casualty covered under this Section 12 occurs during
      the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension
      thereof.

12.4  Landlord's Obligations. The Landlord shall not be required to repair any
      injury or damage by fire or other cause or to make any restoration or
      replacement of any panelings, decorations, partitions, railings, floor
      covering, office fixtures or any other improvements or property installed
      in the Premises by Tenant or at the direct or indirect expense of Tenant.
      Tenant shall be required to restore or replace same in the event of
      damage. Except for abatement of rent, if any, Tenant shall have no claim
      against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
      destruction, repair or restoration; nor shall Tenant have the right to
      terminate this Lease as the result of any statutory provision now or
      hereafter in effect pertaining to the damage and destruction of the
      Premises or the Building, except as expressly provided herein.

13.   CONDEMNATION

If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated for public or
quasi-public use by right of eminent domain with or without litigation or
transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use,
either party hereto shall have the right at its option exercisable within thirty
(30) days of receipt of notice of such taking to terminate this Lease as of the
date possession is taken by the condemning authority, provided, however, that
before Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation as
provided hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent
and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the
Premises. If any part of the Building other then the Premises shall be so taken
or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this
Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or
condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter
arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require
Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for the interruption of or
damage to Tenant's business and/or for Tenant's unamortized cost of leasehold
improvements. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, rent shall be abates in the proportion which the part
of Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Premises immediately prior to the taking. No temporary taking of the Premises
and/or of Tenant's rights therein or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease
or give Tenant any right to any abatement of rent thereunder; any award made to
Tenant and Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein.

14.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1  Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage,
      pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and
      shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior
      written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent
      being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a
      breach of this Lease.

14.2  Reasonable Consent. If Tenant complies with the following conditions,
      Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of
      the Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease.
      Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (1) the name and legal
      composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (2) the nature of the
      business proposed to be carried on in the Premises which business shall be
      compatible, in the judgment of Landlord, with those businesses carried on
      in the Building; (3) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease;
      (4) financial information showing income and net worth of the subtenant or
      assignee at least equal to the income and net worth of Tenant.

14.3  No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or
      subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be
      performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after
      such consent, assignment or subletting. The consent by Landlord to any
      assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to
      obtain Landlord's express written consent to any other assignment or
      subletting. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall
      not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or
      to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent
      to one assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one
      assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute
      consent to any other transfer.

14.4  Attorney's Fees. In the event Landlord shall consent to a sublease or
      assignment under this Section 14, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable
      attorney's fees not to exceed $500.00 incurred in connection with giving
      such consent.

14.5  Assignment of Profit. In the event that the Premises or any part thereof
      are assigned or sublet by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to an amount
      equal to fifty percent (50%) of any and all additional consideration
      received or to be received by Tenant, including, without limitation, the
      gross difference between Tenant's rent hereunder and the rent to be paid
      by Tenant's assignee or subtenant.

15.   SUBORDINATION

15.1  Subordination. This Lease at Landlord's option shall be subject and
      subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may
      hereafter be executed affecting the Premises or the land upon which the
      Premises are situated or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds
      of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or
      against the land or improvements or either thereof, of which the Premises
      are a part, or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein, or on
      or against any ground or underlying lease without the necessity of the
      execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to
      effectuate such subordination. Any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor may
      elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust
      or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
      date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease or the date of the
      recording thereof. Notwithstanding the above so long as the tenant is not
      in default of this lease, the lease will not be terminated as a result of
      any change in ownership, for any reason, of the leased premises.

15.2  Subordination Agreements. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
      deliver upon demand without charge therefore, such further instruments
      evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying
      leases and to the liens of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be
      required by Landlord. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant's
      attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such agreements,
      instruments, releases or other documents.

15.3  Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon
      Tenant paying rent and other monetary sums due under the Lease, performing
      its covenants and conditions under the Lease, Tenant shall and may
      peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term,
      subject, however, to the terms of the Lease and of any of the aforesaid
      ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust described above.

15.4  Attornment. In the event any proceedings are brought for default under
      ground or any underlying lease or in the event of foreclosure or the
      exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by
      the Landlord covering Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser
      upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
      Landlord under this Lease, provided said purchaser as the Landlord under
      this Lease, provided said purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be
      bound by the terms of the Lease.

16.   DEFAULT; REMEDIES

                                       8
<PAGE>

16.1  Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
      material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

      (a)   Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or any other monetary sums
            required to be paid hereunder (where such failure continues for five
            (5) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant);

      (b)   The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant;

      (c)   A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of
            this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure
            continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by
            Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the
            default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within said
            twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default
            if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter
            diligently prosecute the same to completion;

      (d)   The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
            arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against
            Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a
            petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to
            bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant,
            the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); The appointment of a
            trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
            Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
            this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty
            (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
            substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of
            Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
            discharged within thirty (30) days.

16.2  Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by Tenant,
      Landlord may, at any time thereafter without limiting Landlord in the
      exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may
      have by reason of such default or breach:

      (a)   Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the rent
            and other monetary charges as they become due, without terminating
            Tenant's right to possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall
            have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects not to
            terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to
            re-let the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for
            such a term, and to do such acts necessary to maintain or preserve
            the Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without
            being deemed to have elected to terminate the Lease, including
            removal of all persons and property from the Premises; such property
            may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
            cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such
            re-letting occurs, this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the
            new Tenant taking possession of the Premises. Not withstanding that
            Landlord fails to elect to terminate the Lease initially, Landlord
            at any time during the term of this Lease may elect to terminate
            this Lease by virtue of such previous default of Tenant.

      (b)   Terminate Tenant's right to possession by any lawful means, in which
            case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately
            surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event,
            Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages
            incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including
            without limitation thereto, the following:

            (i)   The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had
                  been earned at the time of such termination; plus

            (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 is proved could have been reasonable avoided; plus

            (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 is proved
                  could be reasonably avoided; plus

            (iv)  Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
                  detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform
                  his obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
                  course of events would be likely to result therefrom; plus

            (v)   At Landlord's election such other amounts in addition to or in
                  lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by
                  applicable State law.

Upon any such re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to make any reasonable
repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises, which Landlord in its
sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary. As used in (i) above, the "worth
at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum from the date of default. As used in (ii) and (iii) the
"worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank at the time of award plus one
percent (1%). The term "rent", as used in this Section 16, shall be deemed to be
and to

                                       9
<PAGE>

mean the rent to be paid pursuant to Section 3 and all other monetary sums
required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

16.3  Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
      Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord 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 on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering
      the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due
      from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee
      within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to
      Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount.
      The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
      reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late
      payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no
      event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue
      amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and
      remedies granted hereunder.

16.4  Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord
      fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable
      time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by
      Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of
      trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore
      been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has
      failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature
      of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
      required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if
      Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
      thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

17.   MISCELLANEOUS

17.1  Estoppel Certificate.

      (a)   Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior
            written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to
            Landlord a statement in writing:

            (i)   Certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
                  effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
                  modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified,
                  is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent
                  and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and,]

            (ii)  Acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any
                  uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or
                  specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such
                  statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
                  purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.

      (b)   Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
            conclusive upon Tenant:

            (i)   That this Lease is in full force and effect, without
                  modification except as may be represented by Landlord;

            (ii)  That there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance;
                  and

            (iii) That not more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.

      (c)   If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the Building, or any
            part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender
            designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be
            reasonably required by such lender. Such statements shall include
            the past three years' financial statements of Tenant. All such
            financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and
            shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.2  Transfer of Landlord's Interest. In the event of a sale or conveyance by
      Landlord of Landlord's interest in the Premises or the Building other than
      a transfer for security purposes only, Landlord shall be relieved from and
      after the date specified in any notice of such transfer of all obligations
      and liabilities accruing thereafter on the part of Landlord, provided that
      any funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of transfer in which Tenant
      has an interest, shall be delivered to the successor of Landlord. This
      lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn
      to the purchaser or assignee provided all Landlord's obligations hereunder
      are assumed in writing by the transferee.

17.3  Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms.

      (a)   The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience
            only and shall not be deemed to be relevant in resolving any
            question of interpretation or construction of any section of this
            Lease.

      (b)   Exhibits attached hereto, and addendums and schedules initialed by
            the parties, are deemed by attachment to constitute part of this
            Lease and are incorporated herein.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      (c)   The words "Landlord" and "Tenant", as used herein, shall include the
            plural as well as the singular. Words used in neuter gender include
            the masculine and feminine, and words in the masculine and feminine
            gender include the neuter. If there be more than one Landlord or
            Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Landlord or Tenant
            shall be joint and several; as to a Tenant which consists of husband
            and wife, the obligations shall extend individually to their sole
            and separate property as well as community property. The term
            "Landlord" shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in
            question of the fee title or a Tenant's interest in a ground lease
            of the land underlying the building. The obligations contained in
            this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall be binding on
            Landlord's successors and assigns only during their respective
            periods of ownership.

17.4  Entire Agreement. This instrument along with any exhibits and attachments
      hereto constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant
      relative to the Premises and this Agreement and the exhibits and
      attachments may be altered, amended or revoked only by an instrument in
      writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree
      hereby that all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements between and among
      themselves and their agents or representatives relative to the leasing of
      the Premises are merged in or revoked by this Agreement.

17.5  Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent,
      be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
      unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby,
      and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be
      enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law

17.6  Costs of Suit.

      (a)   If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any relief against
            the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease,
            including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent or
            possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the
            successful party a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees which shall be
            deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall
            be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

      (b)   Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord's part, be made a party
            to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against
            Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the
            Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien
            for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other
            person or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or
            transaction of Tenant or of any such person, Tenant covenants to
            save and hold Landlord harmless from any judgment rendered against
            Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and
            expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Landlord
            in or in connection with such litigation.

17.7  Time; Joint and Several Liability. Time is of the essence of this Lease
      and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating
      to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms,
      covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either
      party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or
      organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and
      remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other
      remedy at law or in equity.

17.8  Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all
      provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as
      though the words importing such covenants and conditions were used in each
      separate paragraph hereof. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
      assignment or subletting by Tenant and subject to Section 17.2, all of the
      provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefits of the parties
      hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
      assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of
      California.

17.9  Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or breach thereof shall be deemed
      waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is
      claimed, and any waiver or breach of any covenant, term or condition shall
      not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the
      same or any other covenant, term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of
      any performance by Tenant after the same shall have become due shall not
      constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant,
      term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in
      writing.

17.10 Parking. Tenant is entitled to 9 exclusive parking spaces to be located
      along the south side of the parking lot. Tenant shall be responsible for
      marking and policing said spaces including towing. Signage shall be
      subject to Landlord's approval which is not to be unreasonably withheld.

         CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 9 OF PART 4 OF DIVISION 3 OF THE CIVIL CODE

Article 25.  Agency Relationships in the Residential Real Property Transactions.

2373     As used in this article the following terms have the following
         meanings:

         (a)   Agent means a person acting under the provisions of this title in
         a real property transaction and includes a person who is licensed as a
         real estate broker under Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 10130) of
         Part 1 of Division 4 of the Business & Professions Code and under whose
         license a listing is executed or an offer to purchase is obtained.

         (b)   Associate licensee means a person who is licensed as a real
         estate broker or salesperson under Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
         10130) of Part 1 of Division 4 of the Business & Professions Code and
         who is either licensed under a broker or has entered into a written
         contract with a broker to act as the broker's agent in connection with
         acts requiring a real estate license and to function under the broker's
         supervision in the capacity of an associate licensee.

         The agent in the real property transaction bears responsibility for his
         or her associate licensees who perform as agents of the agent. When an
         associate licensee owes a duty to any principal, or to any buyer or
         seller who in not a principal, in a real property transaction, that
         duty is equivalent to the duty owed to that party by the broker for
         whom the associate licensee functions.

         (c)   Buyer means a transferee in a real property transaction and
         includes a person who executes an offer to purchase real property from
         a seller through an agent or who seeks the services of an agent in more
         than a casual, transitory, or preliminary manner, with the object of
         entering into a real property transaction. Buyer includes vendee or
         lessee.

         (d)   Dual agent means an agent acting, either directly or through an
         associate licensee, as agent for both the seller and the buyer in a
         real property transaction.

         (e)   Listing agreement means a contract between an owner of real
         property and an agent, by which the agent has been authorized to sell
         the real property or to find or obtain a buyer.

         (f)   Listing agent means a person who has obtained a listing of real
         property to act as an agent for compensation.

         (g)   Listing price is the amount expressed in dollars specified in the
         listing for which the seller is willing to sell real property through
         the listing agent.

         (h)   Offering price is the amount expressed in dollars specified in an
         offer to purchase for which the buyer is willing to buy the real
         property.

         (i)   Offer to purchase means a written contract executed by a buyer
         acting through a selling agent which becomes the contract for the sale
         of the real property upon acceptance by the seller.

         (j)   Real Property means any estate specified by subdivision (1) or
         (2) of Section 761 in property which constitutes or is improved with
         one to four dwelling units, any leasehold in this type of property
         exceeding one year's duration, and mobilehomes, when offered for sale
         or sold through an agent pursuant to the authority contained in Section
         10131.6 of the Business & Professions Code.

         (k)   Real Property transaction means a transaction for the sale of
         real property in which an agent is employed by one or more of the
         principals to act in that transaction, and includes a listing or an
         offer to purchase.

         (l)   Sell, sale, or sold refers to a transaction for the transfer of
         real property from the seller to the buyer, and includes exchanges of
         real property between the seller and buyer, transactions for the
         creation of a real property sales contract within the meaning of
         Section 2965 and transactions for the creation of a leasehold exceeding
         one year's duration.

         (m)   Seller means the transferor in a real property transaction, and
         includes an owner who lists real property with an agent whether or not
         a transfer results, or who receives an offer to purchase real property
         of which he or she is owner from an agent on behalf of another. Seller
         includes both a vendor and a lessor.

         (n)   Selling agent means a listing agent who acts alone, or an agent
         who acts in cooperation with a listing agent and who sells or finds and
         obtains a buyer for the real property, or an agent who locates property
         for a buyer for the property for which no listing exists and presents
         an offer to purchase to the seller.

         (o)   Subagent means a person to whom an agent delegates agency powers
         as provided in Article 5 (commencing with Section of 2349) of Chapter
         1. However, subagent does not include an associate licensee who is
         acting under the supervision of an agent in a real property
         transaction.

2374     Listing agents and selling agents shall provide the seller and buyer in
         a real property transaction with a copy of the disclosure form
         specified in Section 2375, and, except as provided in subdivision (c),
         shall obtain a signed acknowledgment of receipt from that seller and
         buyer, except as provided in this section of Section 2375.5, as
         follows:

         (a)   The listing agent, if any, shall provide the disclosure form to
         the seller prior to entering into the listing agreement.

         (b)   The selling agent shall provide the disclosure form to the seller
         as soon as possible prior to presenting the seller with an offer to
         purchase, unless the selling agent previously provided the seller with
         a copy of the disclosure form pursuant to subdivision (a).

         (c)   Where the selling agent does not deal on a face-to-face basis
         with the seller, the disclosure form prepared by the selling agent may
         be furnished to the seller (and acknowledgment of receipt obtained for
         the selling agent from the seller) by the listing agent, or the selling
         agent may deliver the disclosure form by certified mail addressed to
         the seller at his or her last known address, in which case no signed
         acknowledgment of receipt is required.

         (d)   The selling agent shall provide the disclosure form to the buyer
         as soon as practicable prior to execution of the buyer's offer to
         purchase, except that if the offer to purchase is not prepared by the
         selling agent, the selling agent shall present the disclosure form to
         the buyer not later than the next business day after the selling agent
         receives the offer to purchase from the buyer.

2374.5   In any circumstance in which the seller or buyer refuses to sign an
         acknowledgment of receipt pursuant to Section 2374 the agent, or an
         associate licensee acting for an agent, shall set forth, sign and date
         a written declaration of the facts of the refusal.

2375.5   (a)   As soon as practicable, the selling agent shall disclose to the
         buyer and seller whether the selling agent is acting in the real
         property transaction exclusively as the buyer's agent, exclusively as
         the seller's agent, or as a dual agent representing both the buyer and
         the seller and this relationship shall be confirmed in the contract to
         purchase and sell real property or in a separate writing executed or
         acknowledged by the seller and buyer and the selling agent prior to or
         coinciding with execution of that contract by the buyer and the seller,
         respectively.

         (b)   As soon as practicable, the listing agent shall disclose to the
         seller whether the listing agent is acting in the real property
         transaction exclusively as the seller's agent, or as a dual agent
         representing both the buyer and seller and the relationship shall be
         confirmed in the contract to purchase and sell real property or in a
         separate writing executed or acknowledged by the seller and the listing
         agent prior to or coinciding with the execution of that contract by the
         seller.

         (c)   The confirmation required by subdivisions (a) and (b) shall be in
         the following form:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S>                    <C>                        <C>                    <C>
_______________________is the agent of (check one) ______________________is the agent of (check one)
(Name of Listing Agent)                            (Name of Selling Agent if not the Listing Agent)

( ) The seller exclusively, or                     ( ) the buyer exclusively, or
( ) both the buyer and the seller.                 ( ) the seller exclusively, or
                                                   ( ) both the buyer and the seller.
</TABLE>

         (d)   The disclosures and confirmation required by this section shall
         be in addition to the disclosure required by Section 2374.

2376     No selling agent in a real property transaction may act as an agent for
         the buyer only when the selling agent is also acting as the listing
         agent in the transaction.

2377     The payment of compensation or the obligation to pay compensation to an
         agent by the seller or buyer is not necessarily determined of a
         particular agency relationship between an agent and the seller or
         buyer. A listing agent and a selling agent may agree to share any
         compensation or commission paid or any right to any compensation or
         commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real
         estate transaction and the terms of any such agreement shall not
         necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship.

2378     Nothing in this article prevents an agent from selecting as a condition
         of the agent's employment, a specific form of agency relationship not
         specifically prohibited by this article if the requirements of Section
         2374 and Section 2375.5 are complied with.

2379     A dual agent shall not disclose to the buyer that the seller is willing
         to sell the property at a price less than the listing price, without
         the express written consent of the seller. A dual agent shall not
         disclose to the seller that the buyer is willing to pay a price greater
         than the offering price, without the express written consent of the
         buyer.

         This section does not alter in any way the duty or responsibility of a
         dual agent to any principal with respect to confidential information
         other than price.

2380     Nothing in this article precludes a listing agent from also being a
         selling agent, and the combination of these functions in one agent does
         not, of itself, make that agent a dual agent.

2381     A contract between the principal and agent may be modified or altered
         to change the agency relationship at any time before the performance of
         the act which is the object of the agency with the written consent of
         the parties to the agency relationship.

2382     Nothing in this article shall be construed to either diminish the duty
         of disclosure owed buyers and sellers by agents and their associate
         licensees, subagents, and employees from liability for their conduct in
         connection with acts governed by this article or for any breach of a
         fiduciary duty or a duty of disclosure.
