                                 Loan and Security Agreement

Borrower:             Netsmart Technologies, Inc.
                      Creative Socio-Medics Corp.

Address:              146 Nassau Avenue
                      Islip, New York 11751

Date:                 August 26, 1999

THIS LOAN AND  SECURITY  AGREEMENT  is entered  into on the above  date  between
SILICON VALLEY BANK, COMMERCIAL FINANCE DIVISION  ("Silicon"),  whose address is
3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and the borrower(s) named above
(jointly and severally, the "Borrower"), whose chief executive office is located
at the above address ("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule to this Agreement (the
"Schedule") shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and
the same is an integral part of this  Agreement.  (Definitions  of certain terms
used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)

1.      LOANS.
        1.1 Loans. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined  by Silicon in its sole  discretion,  up to the amounts  (the "Credit
Limit")  shown on the  Schedule,  provided  no Default  or Event of Default  has
occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of any Reserves for accrued
interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time.

        1.2 Interest.  All Loans and all other monetary  Obligations  shall bear
interest at the rate shown on the Schedule,  except where expressly set forth to
the contrary in this Agreement.  Interest shall be payable monthly,  on the last
day of  the  month.  Interest  may,  in  Silicon's  discretion,  be  charged  to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans.  Silicon  may, in its  discretion,  charge  interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

        1.3  Overadvances.  If at any time or for any  reason  the  total of all
outstanding  Loans  and all  other  Obligations  exceeds  the  Credit  Limit (an
"Overadvance"),  Borrower  shall  immediately  pay the  amount of the  excess to
Silicon,  without notice or demand.  Without limiting  Borrower's obliga tion to
repay to Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay
Silicon interest on the outstanding  amount of any Overadvance,  on demand, at a
rate equal to the  interest  rate which would  otherwise  be  applicable  to the
Overadvance, plus an additional 2% per annum.

        1.4 Fees.  Borrower  shall pay Silicon the fee(s) shown on the Schedule,
which are in addition to all  interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are
not refundable.

        1.5    Letters of Credit.  At the request of Borrower, Silicon may, in
its sole discretion, issue or arrange for the issuance of letters of credit for
the account of Borrower, in each case in form

<PAGE>

and  substance  satisfactory  to Silicon in its sole  discretion  (collectively,
"Letters of Credit").  The aggregate face amount of all  outstanding  Letters of
Credit from time to time shall not exceed the amount shown on the Schedule  (the
"Letter of Credit  Sublimit"),  and shall be reserved  against Loans which would
otherwise be available hereunder. Borrower shall pay all bank charges (including
charges of Silicon)  for the issuance of Letters of Credit,  together  with such
additional  fee as  Silicon's  letter  of  credit  department  shall  charge  in
connection  with the  issuance of the Letters of Credit.  Any payment by Silicon
under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall constitute a Loan hereunder
on the date such  payment is made.  Each  Letter of Credit  shall have an expiry
date no later than  thirty  days prior to the  Maturity  Date.  Borrower  hereby
agrees to  indemnify,  save,  and hold  Silicon  harmless  from any loss,  cost,
expense,  or  liability,  including  payments  made by  Silicon,  expenses,  and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees incurred by Silicon arising out of or in connection
with any Letters of Credit.  Borrower  agrees to be bound by the regulations and
interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Silicon and
opened for Borrower's  account or by Silicon's  interpretations of any Letter of
Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's  account,  and Borrower  understands and
agrees that Silicon shall not be liable for any error,  negligence,  or mistake,
whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those
contained  in the  Letters  of  Credit  or  any  modifications,  amendments,  or
supplements  thereto.  Borrower  understands  that Letters of Credit may require
Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or  liabilities  arising
out of claims by Borrower  against such issuing bank.  Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Silicon harmless with respect to any loss, cost,  expense, or
liability  incurred  by  Silicon  under  any  Letter  of  Credit  as a result of
Silicon's  indemnification of any such issuing bank. The provisions of this Loan
Agreement,  as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any other present or future
documents or  agreements  between  Borrower  and Silicon  relating to Letters of
Credit are cumulative.

2.      SECURITY INTEREST.
        2.1 Security  Interest.  To secure the payment and performance of all of
the Obligations when due,  Borrower hereby grants to Silicon a security interest
in all of Borrower's  interest in the following,  whether now owned or hereafter
acquired,  and wherever  located:  All Inventory,  Equipment,  Receivables,  and
General Intangibles,  including,  without limitation,  all of Borrower's Deposit
Accounts,  and all money,  and all  property now or at any time in the future in
Silicon's pos session  (including claims and credit balances),  and all proceeds
(including proceeds of any insurance  policies,  proceeds of proceeds and claims
against third parties), all products and all books and records related to any of
the foregoing (all of the  foregoing,  together with all other property in which
Silicon  may now or in the future be  granted a lien or  security  interest,  is
referred to herein, collectively, as the "Collateral").

3.      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.
In order to induce  Silicon  to enter  into this  Agreement  and to make  Loans,
Borrower  represents and warrants to Silicon as follows,  and Borrower covenants
that the following  representations  will continue to be true, and that Borrower
will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:

        3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority.  Borrower,  if a corporation,  is
and will continue to be, duly organized,  validly  existing and in good standing
under the laws of the  jurisdiction of its  incorporation.  Borrower is and will
continue to be qualified  and licensed to do business in all ju  risdictions  in
which any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on Borrower. The
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other
documents  contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly  authorized,  (ii)
are enforceable against Borrower

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

in  accordance  with  their  terms  (except  as  enforcement  may be  limited by
equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium
or similar  laws  relating to  creditors'  rights  generally),  and (iii) do not
violate  Borrower's  articles or  certificate  of  incorporation,  or Borrower's
by-laws,  or any law or any material  agreement or  instrument  which is binding
upon  Borrower  or  its  property,  and  (iv)  do  not  constitute  grounds  for
acceleration  of any  material  indebtedness  or  obligation  under any material
agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.

        3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles.  The name of Borrower set forth in the
heading to this  Agreement is its correct  name.  Listed on the Schedule are all
prior names of Borrower  and all of  Borrower's  present and prior trade  names.
Borrower  shall give Silicon 30 days' prior written  notice before  changing its
name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied,  and will in
the future  comply,  with all laws  relating to the conduct of business  under a
fictitious business name.

        3.3 Place of Business;  Location of Collateral. The address set forth in
the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In addition,
Borrower has places of business and  Collateral is located only at the locations
set forth on the  Schedule.  Borrower  will give  Silicon at least 30 days prior
written  notice before opening any  additional  place of business,  changing its
chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.

        3.4 Title to Collateral;  Permitted Liens.  Borrower is now, and will at
all times in the future be,  the sole  owner of all the  Collateral,  except for
items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower.  The Collateral now is and will
remain  free  and  clear  of any and all  liens,  charges,  security  interests,
encumbrances and adverse claims,  except for Permitted  Liens.  Silicon now has,
and will continue to have, a first-priority  perfected and enforceable  security
interest in all of the  Collateral,  subject only to the  Permitted  Liens,  and
Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral  against all claims
of others. None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property
in such a manner, or with such intent,  as to become a fixture.  Borrower is not
and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the
lessor  may obtain  any  rights in any of the  Collateral  and no such lease now
prohibits,  restrains,  impairs or will prohibit,  restrain or impair Borrower's
right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral
is located  upon  premises in which any third party has an interest  (whether as
owner,  mortgagee,  beneficiary  under a deed  of  trust,  lien  or  otherwise),
Borrower  shall,  whenever  requested by Silicon,  use its best efforts to cause
such third  party to execute  and  deliver to  Silicon,  in form  acceptable  to
Silicon,  such waivers and  subordinations  as Silicon shall  specify,  so as to
ensure that  Silicon's  rights in the  Collateral  are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force
and effect,  and will  comply with all the terms of, any lease of real  property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

        3.5 Maintenance of Collateral.  Borrower will maintain the Collateral in
good  working  condition,  and  Borrower  will  not use the  Collateral  for any
unlawful  purpose.  Borrower will  immediately  advise Silicon in writing of any
material loss or damage to the Collateral.

        3.6 Books and Records.  Borrower  has  maintained  and will  maintain at
Borrower's  Address  complete and  accurate  books and  records,  comprising  an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

        3.7  Financial   Condition,   Statements  and  Reports.   All  financial
statements  now or in the future  delivered to Silicon  have been,  and will be,
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and now and
in the future will completely and accurately reflect the financial  condition of
Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date
covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has
been no  material  adverse  change in the  financial  condition  or  business of
Borrower. Borrower is now and will continue to be solvent.

        3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely
filed,  and will timely file,  all tax returns and reports  required by foreign,
federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay,
all  foreign,  federal,  state  and  local  taxes,  assessments,   deposits  and
contributions  now or in the future owed by  Borrower.  Borrower  may,  however,
defer payment of any contested  taxes,  provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests  Borrower's  obligation  to pay the  taxes by  appropriate  proceedings
promptly and  diligently  instituted  and  conducted,  (ii) notifies  Silicon in
writing  of  the  commencement   of,  and  any  material   development  in,  the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested  taxes from  becoming a lien upon any of the  Collateral.  Borrower is
unaware of any claims or  adjustments  proposed for any of Borrower's  prior tax
years  which  could  result in  additional  taxes  becoming  due and  payable by
Borrower.  Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to
fund all present and future  pension,  profit sharing and deferred  compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw
from participation in, permit partial or complete  termination of, or permit the
occurrence  of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of Borrower,  including  any  liability to the Pension  Benefit
Guaranty  Corporation  or its  successors  or  any  other  governmental  agency.
Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of an outside payroll service
providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by Borrower.

        3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has complied,  and will comply, in all
material respects, with all provisions of all foreign,  federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to Borrower,  including, but not limited to, those
relating to Borrower's  ownership of real or personal property,  the conduct and
licensing of Borrower's business, and all environmental matters.

        3.10 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no claim,
suit, litigation,  proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower's
knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any court or before
any  governmental  agency (or any basis  therefor  known to Borrower)  which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in
the financial  condition or business of Borrower,  or in any material impairment
in the ability of Borrower to carry on its  business in  substantially  the same
manner as it is now being  conducted.  Borrower will promptly  inform Silicon in
writing of any claim,  proceeding,  litigation  or  investigation  in the future
threatened or instituted  by or against  Borrower  involving any single claim of
$50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate.

        3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for
lawful  business  purposes.  Borrower is not  purchasing or carrying any "margin
stock" (as  defined in  Regulation  U of the Board of  Governors  of the Federal
Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase
or carry any  "margin  stock" or to extend  credit to others for the  purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

4.      RECEIVABLES.
        4.1  Representations  Relating to Receivables.  Borrower  represents and
warrants to Silicon as follows:  Each Receivable with respect to which Loans are
requested by Borrower  shall,  on the date each Loan is requested and made,  (i)
represent an  undisputed  bona fide  existing un  conditional  obligation of the
Account  Debtor  created by the sale,  delivery,  and acceptance of goods or the
rendition of services in the ordinary  course of Borrower's  business,  and (ii)
meet the Minimum Eligibility Requirements set forth in Section 8 below.

        4.2 Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. Borrower
represents  and  warrants to Silicon as  follows:  All  statements  made and all
unpaid  balances  appearing in all  invoices,  instruments  and other  documents
evidencing  the  Receivables  are and  shall  be true and  correct  and all such
invoices,  instruments  and  other  documents  and all of  Borrower's  books and
records are and shall be genuine and in all  respects  what they  purport to be,
and all signatories  and endorsers have the capacity to contract.  All sales and
other  transactions  underlying  or giving rise to each  Receivable  shall fully
comply with all applicable  laws and  governmental  rules and  regulations.  All
signatures  and  endorsements  on all  documents,  instruments,  and  agreements
relating to all  Receivables  are and shall be genuine,  and all such documents,
instruments  and agreements  are and shall be legally  enforceable in accordance
with their terms.

        4.3 Schedules  and Documents  relating to  Receivables.  Borrower  shall
deliver  to  Silicon  transaction  reports  and  loan  requests,  schedules  and
assignments of all Receivables,  and schedules of collections,  all on Silicon's
standard  forms;  provided,  however,  that  Borrower's  failure to execute  and
deliver the same shall not affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other
rights in all of Borrower's Receivables,  nor shall Silicon's failure to advance
or lend  against  a  specific  Receivable  affect  or limit  Silicon's  security
interest and other rights therein.  Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon will
not be considered  by Silicon  until the next  Business Day.  Together with each
such schedule and assignment,  or later if requested by Silicon,  Borrower shall
furnish  Silicon  with copies  (or,  at  Silicon's  request,  originals)  of all
contracts,  orders,  invoices,  and other  similar  documents,  and all original
shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of
delivery,  for any  goods  the sale or  disposition  of which  gave rise to such
Receivables,  and Borrower  warrants the  genuineness  of all of the  foregoing.
Borrower shall also furnish to Silicon an aged accounts receivable trial balance
in such form and at such  intervals  as  Silicon  shall  request.  In  addition,
Borrower  shall  deliver to Silicon the  originals of all  instruments,  chattel
paper,  security  agreements,   guarantees  and  other  documents  and  property
evidencing or securing any Receivables,  immediately upon receipt thereof and in
the same form as received, with all necessary  indorsements,  all of which shall
be with  recourse.  * Borrower  shall also  provide  Silicon  with copies of all
credit memos within two days after the date issued.

* Upon Silicon's request,

        4.4 Collection of Receivables.  Borrower shall have the right to collect
all Receivables, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.
Borrower  shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of,  Receivables in trust for
Silicon,  and Borrower shall immediately  deliver all such payments and proceeds
to Silicon in their original form,  duly endorsed in blank, to be applied to the
Obligations  in such order as  Silicon  shall  determine.  Silicon  may,  in its
discretion,  require  that all proceeds of  Collateral  be deposited by Borrower
into a lockbox account,  or such other "blocked account" as Silicon may specify,
pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Silicon

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

may specify.  Silicon or its designee may, at any time,  notify Account  Debtors
that the Receivables have been assigned to Silicon.

        4.5.  Remittance of Proceeds.  All proceeds arising from the disposition
of any  Collateral  shall be  delivered,  in kind, by Borrower to Silicon in the
original  form in which  received  by  Borrower  not  later  than the  following
Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such
order as  Silicon  shall  determine;  provided  that,  if no Default or Event of
Default has  occurred,  Borrower  shall not be obligated to remit to Silicon the
proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete  equipment  disposed of by Borrower
in good faith in an arm's length  transaction for an aggregate purchase price of
$25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).  Borrower agrees
that it will not commingle  proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's  other
funds or  property,  but will hold such  proceeds  separate  and apart from such
other funds and  property and in an express  trust for Silicon.  Nothing in this
Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement.

        4.6 Disputes.  Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all disputes or
claims  relating  to  Receivables.  Borrower  shall not forgive  (completely  or
partially),  compromise or settle any  Receivable for less than payment in full,
or agree to do any of the  foregoing,  except that Borrower may do so,  provided
that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially  reasonable  manner,
in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's length transactions,  which are
reported to Silicon on the regular reports provided to Silicon;  (ii) no Default
or Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing;  and (iii)  taking  into
account all such discounts  settlements and forgiveness,  the total  outstanding
Loans  will not  exceed the Credit  Limit.  Silicon  may,  at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default,  settle or adjust disputes or claims directly
with  Account  Debtors  for  amounts  and upon  terms  which  Silicon  considers
advisable in its  reasonable  credit  judgment and, in all cases,  Silicon shall
credit  Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts received by Silicon in
payment of any Receivables.

        4.7  Returns.   Provided  no  Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and  is
continuing,  if any  Account  Debtor  returns any  Inventory  to Borrower in the
ordinary  course of its business,  Borrower shall promptly  determine the reason
for such return and promptly issue a credit  memorandum to the Account Debtor in
the appropriate  amount (sending a copy to Silicon).  In the event any attempted
return occurs after the  occurrence of any Event of Default,  Borrower shall (i)
hold the returned  Inventory in trust for Silicon,  (ii)  segregate all returned
Inventory from all of Borrower's other property,  (iii)  conspicuously label the
returned Inventory as Silicon's property, and (iv) immediately notify Silicon of
the return of any Inventory, specifying the reason for such return, the location
and condition of the returned  Inventory,  and on Silicon's request deliver such
returned Inventory to Silicon.

        4.8  Verification.  Silicon may, from time to time, verify directly with
the respective  Account Debtors the validity,  amount and other matters relating
to the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name
of Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose.

        4.9  No  Liability.   Silicon  shall  not  under  any  circumstances  be
responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy  in, damage to, or loss or
destruction of, any goods, the sale or other  disposition of which gives rise to
a Receivable, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in
the  settlement,  failure to  settle,  collection  or  failure  to  collect  any
Receivable,  or for settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full
amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or
agreement giving rise to a Receivable.  Nothing herein shall,  however,  relieve
Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.      ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.
        5.1    Financial and Other Covenants.  Borrower shall at all times
comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

        5.2 Insurance.  Borrower  shall, at all times insure all of the tangible
personal  property  Collateral  and carry such other  business  insurance,  with
insurers  reasonably  acceptable to Silicon, in such form and amounts as Silicon
may reasonably require, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Silicon,  so that Silicon is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times,  in
full force and effect.  All such  insurance  policies  shall name  Silicon as an
additional  loss payee,  and shall contain a lenders loss payee  endorsement  in
form reasonably  acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such
insurance,  Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as
Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,  Silicon  shall  release to
Borrower  insurance  proceeds  with  respect  to  Equipment  totaling  less than
$100,000,  which  shall be  utilized  by  Borrower  for the  replacement  of the
Equipment  with respect to which the insurance  proceeds were paid.  Silicon may
require reasonable  assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so
used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Silicon may, but is
not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Silicon copies of all reports made to insurance companies.

        5.3 Reports.  Borrower,  at its expense,  shall provide Silicon with the
written  reports set forth in the Schedule,  and such other written reports with
respect to Borrower (including budgets,  sales projections,  operating plans and
other  financial  documentation),  as Silicon shall from time to time reasonably
specify.

        5.4 Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times, and on
one  Business  Day's  notice,  Silicon,  or its agents,  shall have the right to
inspect the  Collateral,  and the right to audit and copy  Borrower's  books and
records.   Silicon  shall  take  reasonable  steps  to  keep   confidential  all
information obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Silicon shall have the
right to disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and
attorneys,  and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal  process.  The foregoing
inspections  and audits shall be at Borrower's  expense and the charge  therefor
shall be $500 per  person  per day (or such  higher  amount  as shall  represent
Silicon's then current  standard  charge for the same),  plus  reasonable out of
pocket expenses.  Borrower will not enter into any agreement with any accounting
firm,  service bureau or third party to store Borrower's books or records at any
location  other than  Borrower's  Address,  without  first  obtaining  Silicon's
written consent,  which may be conditioned  upon such accounting  firm,  service
bureau or other  third  party  agreeing  to give  Silicon  the same  rights with
respect to access to books and records  and related  rights as Silicon has under
this Loan  Agreement.  Borrower  waives  the  benefit  of any  accountant-client
privilege or other evidentiary  privilege precluding or limiting the disclosure,
divulgence  or delivery of any of its books and records  (except  that  Borrower
does not waive any at torney-client privilege).

        5.5    Negative Covenants.  Except as may be permitted in the Schedule,
Borrower shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent, do any of the
following:  (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity*; (ii)
acquire any assets, except in the ordinary course of business; (iii)

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

enter into any other transaction  outside the ordinary course of business;  (iv)
sell or transfer any  Collateral,  except for the sale of finished  Inventory in
the ordinary course of Borrower's business,  and except for the sale of obsolete
or  unneeded  Equipment  in the  ordinary  course  of  business;  (v)  store any
Inventory or other Collateral with any  warehouseman or other third party;  (vi)
sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return,  guaranteed sale, consignment,  or other
contingent  basis;  (vii)  make any loans of any money or other  assets;  (viii)
incur any debts,  outside the ordinary  course of  business,  which would have a
material,  adverse  effect on Borrower or on the  prospect of  repayment  of the
Obligations;  (ix)  guarantee  or  otherwise  become  liable with respect to the
obligations  of another  party or entity;  (x) pay or declare any  dividends  on
Borrower's  stock  (except for dividends  payable  solely in stock of Borrower);
(xi) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly,  any
of Borrower's stock; (xii) make any change in Borrower's capital structure which
would have a material adverse effect on Borrower or on the prospect of repayment
of the Obligations; or (xiii) pay total compensation,  including salaries, fees,
bonuses, commissions, and all other payments, whether directly or indirectly, in
money or  otherwise,  to Borrower's  executives,  officers and directors (or any
relative  thereof)  in an  amount  in  excess  of the  amount  set  forth on the
Schedule; or (xiv) dissolve or elect to dissolve.  Transactions permitted by the

consolidation shall not be unreasonably withheld

        5.6 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be
instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or in any manner
relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon, make available
Borrower  and its  officers,  employees  and  agents  and  Borrower's  books and
records, to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably  necessary in order
to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.

        5.7 Further  Assurances.  Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Silicon,  to execute all  documents and take all actions,  as Silicon,  may deem

6.      TERM.
        6.1 Maturity  Date.  This  Agreement  shall continue in effect until the
maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"); provided that the
Maturity  Date  shall  automatically  be  extended,  and  this  Agreement  shall
automatically  and continuously  renew,  for successive  additional terms of one
year each,  unless one party gives  written  notice to the other,  not less than
sixty days prior to the next Maturity Date,  that such party elects to terminate
this Agreement effective on the next Maturity Date.

        6.2    Early Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Maturity Date as follows:  (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after
written notice of termination is given to Silicon; or (ii) by Silicon at any
time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective
immediately.  If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Silicon under

termination  fee shall be due and payable on the effective  date of  termination
and  thereafter  shall  bear  interest  at a  rate  equal  to the  highest  rate
applicable to any of the Obligations.

* one percent (1.0%)

        6.3  Payment of  Obligations.  On the  Maturity  Date or on any  earlier
effective  date of  termination,  Borrower  shall  pay and  perform  in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such  Obligations  are  otherwise  then due and  payable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on
any earlier effective date of termination,  there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit  issued by  Silicon  or  issued  by  another  institution  based  upon an
application,  guarantee,  indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all  interest,  fees
and cost due or to become  due in  connection  therewith,  to secure  all of the
Obligations  relating  to said  Letters of Credit,  pursuant to  Silicon's  then
standard form cash pledge  agreement.  Notwithstanding  any  termination of this
Agreement,  all of Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all
of the terms and provisions of this  Agreement  shall continue in full force and
effect until all  Obligations  have been paid and  performed  in full;  provided
that,  without  limiting  the fact that Loans are subject to the  discretion  of
Silicon,  Silicon may, in its sole discretion,  refuse to make any further Loans
after termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or
remedy of  Silicon,  nor  shall any such  termination  relieve  Borrower  of any
Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed
in  full.  Upon  payment  and  performance  in full of all the  Obligations  and
termination  of this  Agreement,  Silicon  shall  promptly  deliver to  Borrower
termination  statements,  requests for reconveyances and such other documents as
may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.

        7.2 Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence of any Event of Default,  and at any
time  thereafter,  Silicon,  at its option,  and without notice or demand of any

more of the following:  (a) Cease making Loans or other wise extending credit to
Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b) Accelerate

keep,  store,  or remove any of the  Collateral,  and remain on the  premises or
cause a  custodian  to remain on the  premises  in  exclusive  control  thereof,
without charge for so long as Silicon deems it reasonably  necessary in order to
complete  the  enforcement  of its  rights  under  this  Agreement  or any other

of the Collateral by Court process,  Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any
bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute,  court
rule or  otherwise  as an  incident  to such  possession;  (ii) any  demand  for
possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession
thereof;  and (iii) any requirement  that Silicon retain  possession of, and not
dis pose of,  any such  Collateral  until  after  trial or final  judgment;  (d)
Require  Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available
to Silicon at places  designated by Silicon which are  reasonably  convenient to
Silicon and Borrower,  and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon

Collateral  prior to a  disposition  thereof  and,  for such purpose and for the

charge;  (f) Sell, lease or otherwise  dispose of any of the Collateral,  in its
condition  at  the  time  Silicon  obtains  possession  of it or  after  further

adjourn  any  such  sale  from  time to time  without  notice  other  than  oral
announcement  at the time  scheduled  for sale.  Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
times as Silicon deems reasonable,  or on Silicon's  premises,  or elsewhere and

referring thereto. All reasonable attorneys'

fees,  expenses,  costs,  liabilities and  obligations  incurred by Silicon with
respect to the foregoing  shall be added to and become part of the  Obligations,
shall be due on demand,  and shall bear  interest at a rate equal to the highest
interest rate  applicable  to any of the  Obligations.  Without  limiting any of
Silicon's  rights and  remedies,  from and after the  occurrence of any Event of
Default,  the interest rate applicable to the Obligations  shall be increased by
an additional four percent per annum.

        7.3 Standards for Determining  Commercial  Reasonableness.  Borrower and
Silicon  agree that a sale or other  disposition  (collectively,  "sale") of any
Collateral  which  complies with the following  standards will  conclusively  be
deemed  to be  commercially  reasonable:  (i)  Notice  of the  sale is  given to
Borrower  at least  seven days prior to the sale,  and,  in the case of a public
sale,  notice of the sale is  published at least seven days before the sale in a
newspaper  of  general  circulation  in  the  county  where  the  sale  is to be
conducted;  (ii)  Notice  of the  sale  describes  the  collateral  in  general,
non-specific  terms;  (iii)  The  sale is  conducted  at a place  designated  by
Silicon,  with or without the Collateral being present;  (iv) The sale commences
at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v) Payment of the purchase price in
cash or by cashier's  check or wire  transfer is required;  (vi) With respect to
any sale of any of the Collateral,  Silicon may (but is not obligated to) direct
any  prospective  purchaser  to  ascertain  directly  from  Borrower any and all
information  concerning the same.  Silicon shall be free to employ other methods
of  noticing  and  selling  the  Collateral,  in its  discretion,  if  they  are
commercially reasonable.

        7.4 Power of  Attorney.  Upon the  occurrence  of any Event of  Default,
without limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Silicon
an  irrevocable  power of attorney  coupled  with an interest,  authorizing  and
permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at
any time,  at its option,  but  without  obligation,  with or without  notice to
Borrower,  and at  Borrower's  expense,  to do any or all of the  following,  in
Borrower's  name or  otherwise,  but Silicon  agrees to exercise  the  following
powers in a commercially  reasonable  manner:  (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower
any documents that Silicon may, in its sole discretion,  deem advisable in order
to perfect and maintain  Silicon's  security  interest in the Collateral,  or in

consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other
present and future  agreements;  (b) Execute on be half of Borrower any document

on behalf of  Borrower,  any  invoices  relating  to any  Receivable,  any draft
against any Account  Debtor and any notice to any Account  Debtor,  any proof of

other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic's,  materialman's or other
lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or
proceeds of Collateral;  endorse the name of Borrower upon any  instruments,  or
documents,  evidence  of  payment  or  Collateral  that may come into  Silicon's
possession;  (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of  remittances  received by
Silicon;  (f) Pay,  contest or settle any lien,  charge,  encumbrance,  security
interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon,  or otherwise  take any action to terminate or discharge the same;  (g)
Grant extensions of time to pay,  compromise  claims and settle  Receivables and
General  Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other
documents  in  connection  therewith;  (h) Pay any sums  required  on account of
Borrower's  taxes or to secure the release of any liens  therefor,  or both; (i)
Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any

<PAGE>

has under this  Agreement;  and (k) Take any action or pay any sum  required  of
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or future  agreements.
Any and all  reasonable  sums paid and any and all reasonable  costs,  expenses,
liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon with respect to
the  foregoing  shall be added to and become part of the  Obligations,  shall be
payable  on  demand,  and shall bear  interest  at a rate  equal to the  highest
interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.  In no event shall Silicon's
rights under the  foregoing  power of attorney or any of Silicon's  other rights
under this  Agreement  be deemed to indicate  that  Silicon is in control of the
business, management or properties of Borrower.

        7.5 Application of Proceeds.  All proceeds realized as the result of any
sale of the  Collateral  shall be  applied by  Silicon  first to the  reasonable
costs,  expenses,  liabilities,  obligations  and  attorneys'  fees  incurred by
Silicon in the  exercise  of its  rights  under  this  Agreement,  second to the
interest  due upon any of the  Obligations,  and third to the  principal  of the
Obligations,  in such order as Silicon shall  determine in its sole  discretion.
Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto;
Borrower shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency.  If, Silicon, in its
sole discretion,  directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other
credit  transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral,  Silicon shall
have the option,  exercisable  at any time,  in its sole  discretion,  of either
reducing the Obligations by the principal  amount of purchase price or deferring
the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Silicon of the cash
therefor.

        7.6  Remedies  Cumulative.  In addition to the rights and  remedies  set
forth in this  Agreement,  Silicon  shall have all the other rights and remedies
accorded a secured party under the California  Uniform Commercial Code and under
all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in
the future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive.  Exercise or partial  exercise by
Silicon  of one or more  of its  rights  or  remedies  shall  not be  deemed  an
election,  nor bar Silicon from subsequent  exercise or partial  exercise of any
other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to exercise any rights
or remedies shall not operate as a waiver  thereof,  but all rights and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until all of the  Obligations  have been
fully paid and performed.

above, that the holder of the additional security interest or lien

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

sign an  intercreditor  agreement on Silicon's then standard  form,  acknowledge
that the security  interest is subordinate to the security  interest in favor of
Silicon,  and agree not to take any action to enforce its  subordinate  security
interest so long as any Obligations remain outstanding,  and that Borrower agree
that any uncured default in any obligation  secured by the subordinate  security
interest shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

"Person" means any individual, sole proprietorship,  partnership, joint venture,
trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, government, or any
agency or political division thereof, or any other entity.

"Receivables"  means all of Borrower's now owned and hereafter acquired accounts

chattel  paper,  instruments,   securities,   securities  accounts,   investment
property,  documents  and all other  forms of  obligations  at any time owing to
Borrower,  all guaranties and other security therefor,  all merchandise returned
to or  repossessed  by  Borrower,  and all rights of stoppage in transit and all
other rights or remedies of an unpaid vendor, lienor or secured party.

"Reserves" means, as of any date of  determination,  such amounts as Silicon may
from time to time  establish  and  revise in good faith  reducing  the amount of
Loans,  Letters  of  Credit  and  other  financial  accommodations  which  would
otherwise be available to Borrower under the lending formula(s)  provided in the
Schedule:  (a) to reflect events,  conditions,  contingencies or risks which, as
determined by Silicon in good faith,  do or may affect (i) the Collateral or any
other  property which is security for the  Obligations  or its value  (including
without  limitation  any increase in  delinquencies  of  Receivables),  (ii) the
assets,  business  or  prospects  of  Borrower  or any  Guarantor,  or (iii) the
security interests and other rights of Silicon in the Collateral  (including the
enforceability,  perfection and priority  thereof);  or (b) to reflect Silicon's
good faith belief that any collateral report or financial  information furnished
by or on behalf of  Borrower  or any  Guarantor  to  Silicon is or may have been
incomplete,  inaccurate or misleading in any material respect; or (c) in respect
of any state of facts which  Silicon  determines  in good faith  constitutes  an
Event of Default or may,  with notice or passage of time or both,  constitute an
Event of Default.

Other Terms.  All  accounting  terms used in this  Agreement,  unless  otherwise
indicated,  shall  have the  meanings  given to such  terms in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles,  consistently applied. All other terms

provided by the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

9.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.
        9.1 Interest Computation. In computing interest on the Obligations,  all
checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Silicon (including
proceeds of Receivables  and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed
applied  by Silicon on account  of the  Obligations  three  Business  Days after
receipt by Silicon of  immediately  available  funds,  and,  for purposes of the
foregoing,  any such funds  received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day.  Silicon shall not,  however,  be required to
credit  Borrower's  account  for the  amount  of any  item of  payment  which is
unsatisfactory  to  Silicon  in its sole  discretion,  and  Silicon  may  charge
Borrower's  loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned
to Silicon unpaid.

<PAGE>

        9.2   Application  of  Payments.   All  payments  with  respect  to  the
Obligations  may be applied,  and in  Silicon's  sole  discretion  reversed  and
re-applied,  to the  Obligations,  in such  order and  manner as  Silicon  shall
determine in its sole discretion.

        9.3 Charges to Accounts.  Silicon may, in its  discretion,  require that
Borrower  pay  monetary  Obligations  in  cash to  Silicon,  or  charge  them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable  to the  Loans.  Silicon  may also,  in its  discretion,  charge  any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

        9.4 Monthly Accountings.  Silicon shall provide Borrower monthly with an
account of  advances,  charges,  expenses  and  payments  made  pursuant to this
Agreement.  Such  account  shall be deemed  correct,  accurate  and  binding  on
Borrower  and an account  stated  (except for  reverses  and  reapplications  of
payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Silicon),  unless Borrower
notifies  Silicon in writing to the contrary within * days after each account is
rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or admissions.

* sixty

        9.5 Notices.  All notices to be given under this  Agreement  shall be in
writing and shall be given either  personally or by reputable  private  delivery
service or by  regular  first-class  mail,  or  certified  mail  return  receipt
requested,  addressed  to  Silicon or  Borrower  at the  addresses  shown in the
heading to this Agreement,  or at any other address designated in writing by one
party to the other party. Notices to Silicon shall be directed to the Commercial
Finance  Division,  to the  attention  of the  Division  Manager or the Division
Credit  Manager.  * All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery
in the  case  of  notices  personally  delivered,  or at the  expiration  of one
Business Day following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business
Days  following  the deposit  thereof in the United  States  mail,  with postage
prepaid.

* Notices to Borrower shall be directed to the attention of Borrower's  Chairman
of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,  Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, or Controller.

        9.6 Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any
court of competent  jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable,  such defect shall
not affect the remainder of this  Agreement,  which shall continue in full force
and effect.

        9.7  Integration.  This  Agreement  and such other  written  agreements,
documents  and  instruments  as may be executed in  connection  herewith are the
final,  entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede
all  prior  and  contemporaneous   negotiations  and  oral  representations  and
agreements,  all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are
no oral understandings,  representations or agreements between the parties which
are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the
parties in connection herewith.

        9.8  Waivers.  The  failure  of  Silicon at any time or times to require
Borrower to strictly  comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
other present or future  agreement  between Borrower and Silicon shall not waive
or diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive  strict  compliance
therewith.  Any  waiver of any  default  shall  not  waive or  affect  any other
default,  whether prior or subsequent,  and whether or not similar.  None of the
provisions  of  this  Agreement  or any  other  agreement  now or in the  future
executed  by  Borrower  and  delivered  to Silicon  shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or  employees,  but only
by a specific  written  waiver  signed by an  authorized  officer of Silicon and
delivered to Borrower.  Borrower waives demand,  protest,  notice of protest and
notice of default or

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

dishonor,  notice of payment and nonpayment,  release,  compromise,  settlement,
extension  or renewal of any  commercial  paper,  instrument,  account,  General
Intangible,  document or guaranty at any time held by Silicon on which  Borrower
is or may in any way be  liable,  and  notice of any  action  taken by  Silicon,
unless expressly required by this Agreement.

        9.9 No Liability for Ordinary  Negligence.  Neither Silicon,  nor any of
its  directors,  officers,  employees,  agents,  attorneys  or any other  Person
affiliated with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands,
losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever,  made, claimed,  incurred or suffered
by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary  negligence  of Silicon,  or
any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person
affiliated  with or  representing  Silicon,  but nothing  herein  shall  relieve
Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        9.10  Amendment.  The terms and  provisions of this Agreement may not be
waived  or  amended,  except  in a  writing  executed  by  Borrower  and a  duly
authorized officer of Silicon.

        9.11   Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

        9.12 Attorneys Fees and Costs.  Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing,  recording,  search, title insurance,
appraisal,  audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon,  pursuant to,
or in connection  with, or relating to this Agreement  (whether or not a lawsuit
is filed),  including,  but not limited to, any reasonable  attorneys'  fees and
costs Silicon  incurs in order to do the  following:  prepare and negotiate this
Agreement and the documents  relating to this Agreement;  obtain legal advice in
connection with this Agreement or Borrower; en force, or seek to enforce, any of
its rights;  prosecute  actions against,  or defend actions by, Account Debtors;
commence,  intervene  in,  or defend  any  action or  proceeding;  initiate  any
complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy;  file or prosecute
any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine,
audit,  copy, and inspect any of the  Collateral or any of Borrower's  books and
records;  protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce
Silicon's security interest in, the Collateral;  and otherwise represent Silicon
in any  litigation  relating to Borrower.  In satisfying  Borrower's  obligation
hereunder  to  reimburse   Silicon  for  attorneys   fees,   Borrower  may,  for
convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon's attorneys, Levy, Small & Lallas,
but Borrower  acknowledges  and agrees that Levy, Small & Lallas is representing
only  Silicon and not  Borrower in  connection  with this  Agreement.  If either
Silicon or Borrower files any lawsuit  against the other  predicated on a breach
of this  Agreement,  the  prevailing  party in such action  shall be entitled to
recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to)
reasonable  attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of,  execution
upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys' fees and
costs  to  which  Silicon  may be  entitled  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  shall
immediately become part of Borrower's  Obligations,  shall be due on demand, and
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest  interest rate  applicable to
any of the Obligations.

        9.13 Benefit of Agreement.  The  provisions of this  Agreement  shall be
binding  upon and inure to the benefit of the  respective  successors,  assigns,
heirs,  beneficiaries  and  representatives  of Borrower and Silicon;  provided,
however,  that  Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement  without  the prior  written  consent of Silicon,  and any  prohibited
assignment  shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release
Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

        9.14 Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one
Person,  their liability  shall be joint and several,  and the compromise of any
claim with,  or the release of, any Borrower  shall not  constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

        9.15  Limitation  of  Actions.  Any claim or cause of action by Borrower
against Silicon,  its directors,  officers,  employees,  agents,  accountants or
attorneys,  based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any
other  present  or  future  document  or  agreement,  or any  other  transaction
contemplated  hereby or  thereby or  relating  hereto or  thereto,  or any other
matter,  cause or thing whatsoever,  occurred,  done,  omitted or suffered to be
done by Silicon,  its directors,  officers,  employees,  agents,  accountants or
attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an
action or  proceeding  in a court of competent  jurisdiction  by the filing of a
complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which
such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of
a summons  and  complaint  on an  officer  of  Silicon,  or on any other  person
authorized  to accept  service on behalf of  Silicon,  within  thirty  (30) days
thereafter.  Borrower  agrees  that such  one-year  period is a  reasonable  and
sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause
of action.  The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived,  tolled, or
extended except by the written consent of Silicon in its sole  discretion.  This
provision  shall  survive any  termination  of this Loan  Agreement or any other
present or future agreement.

        9.16 Paragraph Headings; Construction.  Paragraph headings are only used
in this Agreement for  convenience.  Borrower and Silicon  acknowledge  that the
headings  may not  describe  completely  the  subject  matter of the  applicable
paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe,  limit,
define  or  interpret  any  term  or  provision  of  this  Agreement.  The  term
"including",  whenever used in this  Agreement,  shall mean  "including (but not
limited to)". This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated  between the
parties  and no  uncertainty  or  ambiguity  in any  term or  provision  of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against Silicon or Borrower under any rule
of construction or otherwise.

        9.17 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and
transactions  hereunder and all rights and  obligations  of Silicon and Borrower
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.  As a material part of
the  consideration to Silicon to enter into this Agreement,  Borrower (i) agrees
that all  actions  and  proceedings  relating  directly  or  indirectly  to this
Agreement  shall,  at Silicon's  option,  be litigated in courts  located within
California,  and that the exclusive  venue therefor shall be Santa Clara County;
(ii)  consents to the  jurisdiction  and venue of any such court and consents to

the venue of any such action or proceeding.

        9.18 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND SILICON EACH HEREBY WAIVE
THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING  BASED UPON,  ARISING OUT
OF, OR IN ANY WAY  RELATING TO, THIS  AGREEMENT  OR ANY OTHER  PRESENT OR FUTURE
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT  BETWEEN SILICON AND BORROWER,  OR ANY CONDUCT,  ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF SILICON OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS,  ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH SILICON OR BORROWER,  IN
ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

with regarding this Lease. In addition to any other Rent or Additional Rent,
Sublessee agrees to pay Sublessor $5,659.71 per month for each month during the

Lease, shall use Sublessor's good faith efforts to cause Master Lessor to
perform such obligations for the benefit of Sublessee, however, nothing herein
shall require Sublessor to incur any costs or expenses. Such good faith efforts
shall include: (a) upon Sublessee's written request, promptly notifying Master
Lessor of its nonperformance under the Master Lease, and requesting that Master
Lessor perform its obligations under the Master Lease; and (b) permitting
Sublessee to commence a lawsuit or other action in Sublessor's name to obtain
the performance required from Master Lessor under the Master Lease; provided,

leasehold interest to a ground lease or instrument of security, Sublessor shall,
without being required to incur any costs or expenses, use reasonable efforts to
obtain from any such ground lessor or lenders such a recognition agreement. The
inability of Sublessor to obtain such recognition of the Sublessee shall not
constitute a default under this Sublease.

                                                           DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

                        LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

The Sobrato Group ("Landlord"), as Landlord under that certain Lease (the
"Lease") dated May 23, 1991 as amended by First Amendment to Lease dated April
7, 1992, and by Second Amendment to Lease dated July 28, 1992, by and between
Landlord and Raytheon TI Systems, Inc., as successor in interest to Texas
Instruments Inc., as successor in interest to Tiburon Ssytems, Inc. ("Tenant"),
as Tenant, subject to and specifically conditioned upon the following terms and
conditions hereby grants its consent to the Sublease dated October 25, 1999 made
by and between the Tenant, as sublandlord, and Concentric Network Corporation
("Subtenant"), as subtenant, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B ("the
Sublease"), covering that certain premises (the "Premises") commonly known as
1290 Parkmoor Avenue, San Jose, California.

As conditions to the consent of Landlord to the Sublease, it is understood and
agreed as follows:

1. No Release. This Consent to Sublease shall in no way release the Tenant or
any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant, including Subtenant,
from any of its covenants, agreements, liabilities and duties under the Lease,
as the same may be amended from time to time, without respect to any provision
to the contrary in the Sublease.

2. Specific Provisions of Lease and Sublease. This Consent to Sublease
consenting to a sublease to Subtenant does not constitute approval by Landlord
of any of the provisions of the Sublease document or agreement thereto or
therewith; nor shall the same be construed to amend the Lease in any respect,
any purported modifications being solely for the purpose of setting forth the
rights and obligations as between Tenant and Subtenant, but not binding
Landlord. The Sublease is, in all respects, subject and subordinate to the
Lease, as the same may be amended. Furthermore, in the case of any conflict
between the provisions of this Consent to Sublease or the Lease and the
provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Consent to Sublease or (as
between Landlord and Tenant) the Lease, as the case may be, shall prevail
unaffected by the Sublease.

3. Limited Consent. This Consent to Sublease does not and shall not be construed
or implied to be a consent to any other matter for which Landlord's consent is
required under the Lease, including, without limitation, any Alterations under
the Lease.

4. Tenant's Continuing Liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any
default under the Lease, whether such default is caused by Tenant or Subtenant
or anyone claiming by or through either Tenant or Subtenant, but the foregoing
shall not be deemed to restrict or diminish any right which Landlord may have
against Subtenant pursuant to the Lease, in law or in equity for violation of
the Lease or otherwise,
<PAGE>

including, without limitation, the right to enjoin or otherwise restrain any
violation of the Lease by Subtenant.

5. Default by Tenant under the Lease. If Tenant defaults under the Lease,
Landlord may elect to receive directly from Subtenant all sums due or payable to
Tenant by Subtenant pursuant to the Sublease. Upon written notice from Landlord,
Subtenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord any and all sums due or payable under
the Sublease. In such event, Tenant shall receive from Landlord a corresponding
credit for such sums against any payments then due or thereafter becoming due
from Tenant.

6. Termination of Lease. If at any time prior to the expiration of the term of
the Sublease the Lease shall terminate or be terminated for any reason, the
Sublease shall simultaneously terminate. However, Subtenant agrees, at the
election and upon written demand of Landlord, and not otherwise, to attorn to
Landlord for the remainder of the term of the Sublease, such attornment to be
upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except that the Base Rent set
forth in the Sublease shall be substituted for the Base Rent set forth in the
Lease and the computation of Additional Rent as provided in the Lease shall be
modified as set forth in the Sublease. The foregoing provisions of this
paragraph shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, the Sublease may
otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Lease and shall be self-
operative upon such written demand of the Landlord, and no further instrument
shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Upon the demand of
Landlord, however, Subtenant agrees to execute, from time to time, documents in
confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph satisfactory to
Landlord in which Subtenant shall acknowledge such attornment and shall set
forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy.

7. Sublease Profits. Landlord and Tenant agree that no consideration is due in
excess of base monthly rent pursuant to section 29 of the Lease Agreement.

8. No Waiver; No Privity. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of
any of the Landlord's rights under the Lease. In no event, however, shall
Landlord be deemed to be in privity of contract with Subtenant or owe any
obligation or duty to Subtenant under the Lease or otherwise, any duties of
Landlord under the Lease being in favor of, for the benefit of and enforceable
solely by Tenant.

9. Notices. Subtenant agrees to promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all
notices of default and all other notices sent to Tenant under the Sublease, and
Tenant agrees to promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all such notices sent to
Subtenant under the Sublease. All copies of any such notices shall be delivered
personally or sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, to Landlord.

10. Additional Provisions. Landlord and Subtenant further agree as follows:

     (a)    In the event that the Lease terminates prior to the expiration of
            the term thereof for any reason other than as a result of an event
            of default by Subtenant under the Sublease shall continue in full
            force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord and Subtenant
            upon all of the terms,

                                    Page 2

            covenants and conditions of the Sublease; provided, however, that
            the rental rate thereunder shall be increased to the same per square
            foot rental rate schedule as in the Lease between Landlord and
            Subtenant dated May 15, 1998 for the building located at 1400
            Parkmoor Avenue, San Jose, California.

     (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the release and
            waiver of subrogation in Section 12 of the Lease shall apply as
            between Landlord and Subtenant.

     (c)    Landlord shall not exercise any recapture right it may have under
            the Lease in the event Subtenant sublets the Premises or assigns the
            Sublease to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common
            control with Subtenant, a successor entity related to Subtenant by
            merger or consolidation, or a purchaser of substantially all of
            Subtenant's assets or stock. Landlord acknowledges that Subtenant
            intends to sublease portions of the Premises and agrees not to
            exercise any recapture right that it may have with respect to such
            subletting portions of the premises in the first year of the
            Sublease term.

     3.   Exercise of Option. Tenant shall exercise the Option by delivery of
written notice to Landlord within the option Period of such exercise. Tenant
shall be entitled to exercise the option only if (i) Tenant has not been in

condition is such that an institutional lender is willing to commit to make a
non-recourse loan to Landlord in a minimum amount equal to seventy five percent
(75%) of the value of the Option Building.

     4.   Lease of the Option Building. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
exercise of the Option, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written lease of
the Option Building (the "Option Building Lease"). The Option Building Lease
shall be on the same terms as the 1290 Parkmoor Lease, except as follows:

shall be deemed a default under the 1290 Parkmoor Lease.

          (h)  Tenant may elect, prior to the Commencement Date of the Option
Building Lease, to extend the term of the 1290 Parkmoor Lease so as to be co-
terminous with the Option Building Lease. If said election is made by Tenant,

1.   PARTIES:  THIS LEASE, is entered into on this 23/RD/ day of May, 1991,
between THE SOBRATO GROUP, a California Limited Partnership, and TIBURON
SYSTEMS, INC., a California Corporation, hereinafter called respectively
Landlord and Tenant.

2.   PREMISES:  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hires from Landlord
those certain Premises with the appurtenances, more particularly described as
follows, to-wit:

That certain real property commonly known and designated as 1290 Parkmoor
Avenue, San Jose, California, consisting of 66,479 square feet ("Building") as
outlined in red on Exhibit "A".

3.   USE:  Tenant shall use the Premises only for the following purposes and
shall not change the use of the Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord: Office, research, development, testing, light manufacturing, ancillary
warehouse, and related legal uses.

4.   TERM AND RENTAL: The term shall be for One Hundred Twenty (120) months,
commencing, as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 7, on the first day of April, 1992
("Commencement Date"), and ending on the 30th day of March, 2002, at the total
rent or sum, as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 4(a), of Eight Million Two
Hundred Sixteen Thousand Eight Hundred Four and 40/100 Dollars ($8,216,804.40),
payable, without deduction or offset, in monthly installments of Sixty Eight
Thousand Four Hundred Seventy Three and 37/100 Dollars ($68,473.37), due on or
before the first day of each calendar month during the term hereof. Said rental
shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset or
deduction, and shall be paid to Landlord at such place or places as may be
designated from time to time by Landlord. Rent for any period less than a
calendar month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.

4. (a)      Rental Adjustment: Beginning thirty (30) months after the
Commencement Date, and every thirty (30) months thereafter, the then payable
monthly rent shall be subject to adjustment based on the increase, if any, in
the Consumer Price Index ("Adjustment Date"). The basis for computing the
adjustment shall be the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistic's
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-84=100, for the
San Francisco-Oakland - San Jose area, ("Index"). The Index most recently
published preceding the commencement of the Lease (or previous Adjustment Date,
as applicable), shall be considered the "Base Index". If the Index most recently
published preceding the Adjustment Date ("Comparison Index") is greater than the
Base Index, the then payable monthly rent shall be increased by multiplying the
monthly rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Comparison Index and
the denominator of which is the Base Index. Notwithstanding any subsequent
decrease in the Index, the increase in the CPI for any calendar year shall never
be less than four percent (4%) per year compounded annually nor more than eight
percent (8%) per year compounded annually. Landlord's calculation of the rent
escalation shall be conclusive and binding unless Tenant objects to said
calculation within a thirty (30) day period. On adjustment of the monthly rent
Landlord shall notify Tenant by letter stating the new monthly rent. If the
Index base year is changed so that it differs from 1982-84=100, the Index shall
be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United
States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Index is
discontinued or revised during the term, such other government index or
computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain
substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index had not been
discontinued or revised.

5.   SECURITY DEPOSIT:   On or before December 20th, 1991, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the sum of Seventy Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($70,000.00) as a
security deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this
Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to payment of rent
or other charges. Landlord may, to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy
Tenant's default, use all or any part of said deposit for the payment of rent or
other charges in default or the payment of any other payment of any other amount
which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's
default or to compensate Landlord

                                    Page 1
<PAGE>

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 therefor, deposit cash with Landlord
in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove
stated and shall pay to Landlord such other sums as shall be necessary to
reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord. Said deposit shall be returned
to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term hereof less
any amount deducted in accordance with this paragraph, together with Landlord's
written notice itemizing the amounts and purposes for such retention. In the
event of termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall
transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in interest.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 5, Landlord agrees
that in lieu of a cash security deposit in the amounts specified above, Tenant
may deposit an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of Landlord in the initial
sum of Seventy Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($70,000.00), in a form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the letter of
credit in accordance with the preceding paragraph, provided that Landlord
certifies to the issuer of the letter of credit under penalty of perjury that
Tenant is in default under the Lease (as defined in paragraph 22 hereof). Tenant
shall keep the letter of credit in effect during the entire Lease Term, as the
same may be extended, plus a period of eight (8) weeks thereafter. At least
sixty (60) days prior to expiration of any letter of credit, the term thereof
shall be renewed or extended. Tenant's failure to so renew or extend the letter
of credit shall be a material default of this Lease by Tenant. If Landlord draws
against the letter of credit, Tenant shall replenish the existing letter of
credit or cause a new letter of credit to be issued such that the aggregate
amount of letters of credit available to Landlord at all times during the Lease
Term is the amount of the security deposit required herein

6.   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,
administrative, processing, accounting charges, and late charges, which may be
imposed on Landlord by the terms of any contract, revolving credit, 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 written notice from Landlord that such
amount is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%)
percent of such overdue amount which shall be due and payable with the payment
then delinquent. 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. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall
automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly,
notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary.

IT IS FURTHER MUTUALLY AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

7.   CONSTRUCTION AND POSSESSION:   The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed
by independent contractors to be employed by and under the supervision of
Landlord, as general contractor, in accordance with plans prepared by Dennis
Kobza & Associates, Inc. Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements in
accordance with all existing applicable municipal, local, state and federal
laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances.

Landlord shall be responsible for and shall pay the cost of the Tenant
Improvements up to the amount of Six Hundred Sixty Four Thousand Seven Hundred
Ninety and No/100 Dollars ($664,790.00) ("Tenant Improvement Allowance"). In the
event the cost of Tenant Improvements is more than the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, the monthly rental under the Lease shall be increased at the rate of
Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per month for each One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) of
the increase in the Tenant Improvement Allowance up to a maximum increase in the
Tenant Improvement Allowance of Three Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Three Hundred
Ninety Five and No/100 Dollars ($332,395.00). In the event the cost of Tenant
Improvements is less than

                                    Page 2
<PAGE>

the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the monthly rental under the Lease shall be
reduced at the rate of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per month for each One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000.00) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance not used. The cost of
the Tenant Improvements including fit-up of special areas shall include a fee of
Nine percent (9%) to cover all of the following: a field superintendent,
temporary on-site facilities; home office administration, supervision, and
coordination; financing fees, and construction interest. Costs in excess of said
Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any, shall be paid for by Tenant in cash within
ten (10) days after Landlord has provided Tenant with evidence that Landlord's
progress payments to sub-contractors has exceeded said Tenant Improvement
budget. All costs for Tenant Improvements shall be fully documented to and
verified by Tenant.

Landlord and Tenant have approved the preliminary working drawings ("Preliminary
Working Drawings") attached as Exhibit "B" and the preliminary budget for the
Tenant Improvement costs ("Preliminary Budget") attached as Exhibit "C". Based
on this information, Landlord shall prepare the final working drawings ("Final
Working Drawings") attached as Exhibit "D" and final budget for the Tenant
Improvement costs ("Final Budget") attached as Exhibit "E". In the event the
Final Budget exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall have the
right to require Tenant to post a letter to credit to secure Tenant's
reimbursement obligation for the difference between the Final Budget and the
Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event Tenant makes any changes to the Final
Working Drawings which cause Landlord's construction schedule to be delayed, the
Commencement Date shall occur one (1) day in advance of Substantial Completion
as defined below for each day of delay.

If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the said
Premises to Tenant by the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or
voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage
resulting therefrom; but in that event the Commencement Date and termination
date of the Lease and all other dates affected thereby shall be revised to
conform to the date of Landlord's delivery of possession. The term of the Lease
shall not commence until substantial completion of the Premises occurs.
"Substantial Completion" shall mean that: (i) all necessary governmental
approvals, permits, consents, and certificates have been obtained by or for
Landlord for the lawful construction by Landlord, and occupancy by Tenant, or
said Premises, excluding work attributable to any special fit-up requested or
required by Tenant, (ii) all of the Premises interior fully meet all of the
Final Working Drawings, excluding Tenant's special fit-up, (iii) all of the
Premises exterior substantially meets the applicable Final Working Drawings,
including paved parking areas, and (iv) said interior is in a "broom clean"
finished condition. If necessary, Landlord reserves the right to post a bond for
the uncompleted portion of the landscaping.

8.   ACCEPTANCE OF POSSESSION AND COVENANTS TO SURRENDER: By entry hereunder,
Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary order, condition and
repair and accepts the Building and the other improvements in their present
condition, except for the "punch list" as set forth on Exhibit "F", attached
hereto. The Tenant agrees on the last day of the term hereof, or on the sooner
termination of this Lease, to surrender the Premises to Landlord in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. "Good condition" shall
mean that the interior walls, floors, suspended ceilings, and carpeting within
the Premises will be cleaned to the same condition as existed at the
commencement of the Lease, normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant agrees to
remove all phone and data cabling from the suspended ceiling and repair any
damage to the ceiling caused by such cabling. Tenant shall ascertain from
Landlord within thirty (30) days before the end of the term of this Lease
whether Landlord desires to have the Premises or any part or parts thereof
restored to their condition as of the commencement of this Lease or to cause
Tenant to surrender all post-commencement alterations, additions, and
improvements in place to Landlord. If Landlord shall so desire, then Tenant
shall remove such post-commencement alterations, additions, and improvements as
Landlord may require and shall repair and restore said Premises or such part or
parts thereof before the termination of this Lease at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. Tenant on or before the end of the term or sooner termination of this
Lease, shall remove all its personal property and trade fixtures from the
Premises, and all property not so removed shall be deemed to be abandoned by
Tenant. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the term or sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or
liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded
on such delay.

9.   USES PROHIBITED:   Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any
waste upon the said Premises, or any nuisance, or other act or thing which may
disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in or around the Building or
allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or allow the Premises to be used
for any unlawful or objectionable purpose, or place any loads upon the floor,
walls, or ceiling which endanger the structure, or use any machinery or
apparatus which will in any manner vibrate or shake the Building, or place any
harmful liquids, waste materials, or hazardous materials in the drainage system
of, or upon or in the soils surrounding the Building. No materials, supplies,
equipment, finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials or
articles of any nature or any waste materials, refuse, scrap or debris shall be
stored upon or permitted to remain on any portion of the Premises outside of the
Building proper without Landlord's prior approval, which approval may be
withheld in its sole discretion.

10.  ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS:  Tenant shall not make, or suffer to be made,
any alteration or addition to the said Premises, or any part thereof, without
(i) the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained, and (ii) delivering
to Landlord the proposed architectural and structural plans for all such
alterations. Any addition or alteration to the Premises, except movable
furniture and trade fixtures, shall become at once a part of the realty and
belong to Landlord. Alterations and additions which are not to be deemed as
trade fixtures shall include heating, lighting, electrical systems, air
conditioning, partitioning, carpeting, or any other installation which has
become an integral part of the Premises. After having obtained Landlord's
consent, Tenant agrees that prior to the commencement of any alterations and
additions, Tenant shall cause to be provided to Landlord, payment and
performance bonds satisfactory to Landlord, to assure timely completion of such
work and payment of all costs of such work. Tenant will at all times permit such
notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work. Tenant
acknowledges Landlord's right to and hereby consents to construction of
additional building(s) on the land where the Premises are located or on adjacent
land owned by Landlord.

11.  MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES: Landlord warrants that as of the date of this
Lease, the roof and the roof membrane, exterior walls, glazing, plumbing,
electrical and HVAC systems, sidewalks and parking areas, of the Premises are in
good and sanitary order, condition, and repair. Tenant shall, at its sole cost,
keep and maintain, repair and replace, said Premises and appurtenances and every
part hereof, including but not limited to, the roof membrane, glazing,
sidewalks, parking areas, plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, and all the
Tenant Interior Improvements in good and sanitary order, condition, and repair.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord at its sole cost and expense, shall
maintain in good condition, order, and repair, and replace as and when
necessary, the foundation, exterior walls, structure and structural members, and
roof structure of the Building. Subject to the obligations of Tenant to provide
periodic routine maintenance of the Premises in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Paragraph 11 above, Landlord shall also provide a contractor's
warranty on the Tenant Improvements for a period of one (1) year from the
Commencement Date. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of a service
contract between Tenant and a licensed air-conditioning and heating contractor
which contract shall provide for bimonthly maintenance of all air conditioning
and heating equipment at the Premises. Tenant shall pay the cost of all air-
conditioning and heating equipment repairs or replacements which are either
excluded from such service contract or any existing equipment warranties. Tenant
shall be responsible for the preventive maintenance of the membrane of the roof,
which responsibility shall be deemed properly discharged if (i) Tenant contracts
with a licensed roof contractor who is reasonably satisfactory to both Tenant
and Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost, to inspect the roof membrane at least every
six (6) months, with the first inspection due the sixth (6th) month after the
Commencement Date, and (ii) Tenant performs, at Tenant's sole cost, all
preventive maintenance recommendations made by such contractor within a
reasonable time after such recommendations are made. Such preventive maintenance
might include acts such as clearing storm gutters and drains, removing debris
from the roof membrane, trimming trees overhanging the roof membrane, applying
coating materials to seal roof penetrations, repairing blisters, and other
routine measures. Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of such preventive
maintenance contract and paid invoices for the recommended work. All vinyl wall
surfaces and floor tile are to be maintained in an as good a condition as when
Tenant took possession free of holes, gouges, or defacements. Tenant agrees to
limit attachments to vinyl wall surfaces exclusively to V-joints. Tenant agrees
to water, maintain and replace, when necessary, any shrubbery and landscaping.

                                    Page 4
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant's maintenance
or repair obligations as set forth in this Lease would require Tenant to perform
or pay for any item which (i) would be properly be capitalized under generally
accepted accounting principles, and (ii) costs in excess of $25,000.00 per
occurrence, then Landlord shall perform such repair or make such replacement
promptly following written notice by Tenant of the need therefor and the cost of
such item or improvement shall be allocated as follows: Tenant shall pay to
Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's written demand and
supporting documentation a proportion of the cost equal to the actual cost of
such improvement or item as paid by landlord to third parties times a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the initial Lease
Term, and the denominator of which is the useful life of the improvement in
months, and Landlord shall pay the balance of such cost.

12.  HAZARD INSURANCE:  Tenant shall not use, or permit said Premises, or any
part thereof, to be used, for any purpose other than that for which the said
Premises am hereby leased; and no use shall be made or permitted to be made of
the said Premises, nor acts done, which will cause an increase in premiums or a
cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building, or any part
thereof, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about
said Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire
insurance policies. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any
and all requirements, pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance organization
or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public
liability insurance, covering said Building and appurtenances. The Landlord
agrees to purchase and keep in force fire, earthquake (at Landlord's election),
and extended coverage insurance covering the Premises in amounts not to exceed
the actual insurable value of the Building as determined by Landlord's insurance
company's appraisers. The Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord as additional
rent, on demand, the full cost of said insurance as evidenced by insurance
billings to the Landlord, and in the event of damage covered by said insurance,
the amount of any deductible under such policy. Tenant shall have the  to
specify the amount of any insurance policy to be carried by Landlord under this
Lease and shall reimburse Landlord for the premiums payable with respect to
insurance policies for which Tenant is responsible containing the deductible so
specified by Tenant or on insurance policies for which Tenant fails to specify a
deductible amount within ten (10) days following Landlord's written demand for
such deductible specification. In the event of damage to the Premises covered by
Landlord's "all risk" casualty policy (and not caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents, contractors,
subcontractors, or invitees), Tenant shall pay the amount of any deductible
under such policy if this Lease is not terminated in connection with such
casualty as provided in paragraph 28. Payment shall be due to Landlord within
ten (10) days after written invoice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant's obligation to pay for the cost of any earthquake insurance premiums
shall be limited to an amount equal or less than four (4) times the cost of the
fire and extended coverage premiums.

In addition, Tenant agrees to insure its personal property, additions,
alterations, and improvements for their full replacement value (without
depreciation) and to obtain worker's compensation and public liability and
property damage insurance for occurrences within the Premises of $5,000,000.00
combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage. Tenant shall name
Landlord and Landlord's lender as an additional insured, shall deliver a copy of
the policies and renewal certificate to Landlord. All such policies shall
provide for thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord of any
cancellation or termination. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord retains the
right to have Tenant provide other forms of insurance which may be reasonably
required to cover future risks.

It is understood and agreed that Tenant's obligation under this paragraph will
be prorated to reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on
account of any loss or damage occasioned to the Landlord or the Tenant as the
case may be, or to the Premises or its contents, and which may arise from any
risk covered by their respective insurance policies, as set forth above. The
parties shall use their best efforts to obtain from their respective insurance
companies a waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may
have against the Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be.

13.  TAXES: Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal
property and trade or business fixtures, and agrees to pay, as additional
rental, all real estate taxes and special

Page 5
<PAGE>

assessment installments levied on the Premises, upon the occupancy of the
Premises and including any substitute or additional charges which may be imposed
during, or applicable to the Lease term including real estate tax increases due
to a sale or other transfer of the Premises, as they appear on the City and
County tax bills during the Lease term, and as they be, come due. It is
understood and agreed that Tenant's obligation under this paragraph will be
prorated to reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease. In any
time during the term of this Lease a tax, excise on rents, business license tax,
or any other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Landlord, as
a substitute or addition in whole or in part for taxes assessed or imposed on
land or Buildings, Tenant shall pay and discharge his pro rata share of such tax
or excise on rents or other tax before it becomes delinquent, except that this
provision is not intended to cover income taxes, inheritance, gift or estate tax
imposed upon the Landlord. In the event that a tax is placed, levied, or
assessed against Landlord and the taxing authority takes the position that
Tenant cannot pay and discharge his pro rata share of such tax on behalf of the
Landlord, then at the sole election of the Landlord, the Landlord may increase
the rental charged hereunder by the exact amount of such tax.

14.  UTILITIES: Tenant shall pay directly to the providing utility all water,
gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities supplied to the Premises.
Landlord shall not be liable for a loss of or injury to property, however
occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to furnishing or failure
to furnish any of utilities to the Premises and Tenant shall not be entitled to
abatement or reduction of any portion of the rent so long as any failure to
provide and furnish the utilities to the Premises due to any cause beyond the
Landlord's reasonable control.

15.  ABANDONMENT: Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the term; and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises,
or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property
belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at
the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord.

16.  FREE FROM LIENS: Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from
any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations
incurred by Tenant.

17.  COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS: Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and
Federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining
to the said Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the uses of the Premises
all Municipal ordinances and State and Federal statutes now in force or which
may hereafter be in force. The judgement of any court of competent jurisdiction,
or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether
Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such ordinance
or statute in the use of the Premises, shall be conclusive of that fact as
between Landlord and Tenant.

18.  TOXIC WASTE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE:   Without the prior written consent
of Landlord, Tenant shall not bring, use, or permit upon the Premises, or
generate, emit, or dispose from the Premises any chemicals, toxic or hazardous
gaseous, liquid or solid materials or waste, including without limitation,
material or substance having characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity,
reactivity, or toxicity or substances or materials which are listed on any of
the Environmental Protection Agency's lists of hazardous wastes or which am
identified in Sections 66680 through 66685 of Title 22 of the California
Administrative Code as the same may be amended from time to time ("Hazardous
Materials"). Tenant shall comply, at its sole cost, with all laws pertaining to,
and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, liabilities,
costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from such bringing,
using, permitting, generating, emitting or disposing of Hazardous Materials.
Tenant's indemnification and hold harmless obligations include, without
limitation, (i) claims, liability, costs or expenses resulting from or based
upon administrative, judicial (civil or criminal) or other action, legal or
equitable, brought by any private or public person under common law or under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response. Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1980 ("RCRA") or any
other Federal, State, County or Municipal law, ordinance or regulation, (ii)
claims, liabilities, costs or expenses pertaining to the identification,
monitoring, cleanup, containment, or removal of Hazardous Materials from soils,
riverbeds or aquifers including the provision of an alternative public drinking
water source, and (iii) all costs of defending such claims.

                                    Page 6
<PAGE>

In order to obtain consent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord its written
proposal describing the toxic material to be brought onto the Premises, measures
to be taken for storage and disposal thereof, safety measures to be employed to
prevent pollution of the air, ground, surface and ground water. Landlord's
approval may be withheld in its reasonable judgement. In the event Landlord
consents to Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. Tenant
represents and warrants that Tenant will (i) adhere to all reporting and
inspection requirements imposed by Federal, State, County or Municipal laws,
ordinances or regulations and will provide Landlord a copy of any such reports
or agency inspections, (ii) obtain and provide Landlord copies of all necessary
permits required for the use and handling Hazardous Materials on the Premises,
(iii) enforce Hazardous Materials handling and disposal practices consistent
with industry standards, and (iv) properly close the facility with regard to
Hazardous Materials including the removal or decontamination of any process
piping, mechanical ducting,  storage tanks, containers, or trenches which have
come into contact with Hazardous Materials and obtain a closure certificate from
the local administering agency. Tenant shall have the right to approve the
selection of Landlord's attorneys and the attorney's fee schedule prior to the
engagement by Landlord of any attorneys pursuant to this paragraph 18.

19.  INDEMNITY:   As a material part of the consideration to be rendered to
Landlord, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to goods,
wares and merchandise, and all other personal property in, upon or about said
Premises and for injuries to persons in or about said Premises, from any cause
arising at any time except due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, and Tenant will hold Landlord exempt and harmless from any damage or
injury to any person, or to the goods, wares and merchandise and all other
personal property of any person, arising from the use of the Premises by Tenant,
or from the failure of Tenant to keep the Premises in good condition and repair,
as herein provided. Further, in the event Landlord is made party to any
litigation due to the acts or omission of Tenant, Tenant will indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from any such claim or liability including Landlord's costs
and expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in defending such claims.
Tenant shall have the right to approve the selection of Landlord's attorneys and
the attorney's fee schedule prior to the engagement by Landlord of any attorneys
pursuant to this paragraph 19.

20.  ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS:    Tenant will not place or permit to be placed,
in, upon or about the said Premises any unusual or extraordinary signs, or any
signs not approved by the city or other governing authority. The Tenant will not
place, or permit to be placed, upon the Premises, any signs, advertisements or
notices without the written consent of the Landlord as to type, size, design,
lettering, coloring and location, and such consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. Any sign so placed on the Premises shall be so placed upon the
understanding and agreement that Tenant will remove same at the termination of
the Lease and repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, and if
not so removed by Tenant then Landlord may have same so removed at Tenant's
expense.

21.  ATTORNEY'S FEES:    In case suit should be brought for the possession of
the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, or because of the
breach of any other covenant herein, the losing party shall pay to the
prevailing party a reasonable attorney's fee as part of its costs which shall be
deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action.

22.  TENANT'S 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 rental or to make any other payment required to be made by
Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written
notice thereof 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 thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord
to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that
the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) 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 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 era petition fried against Tenant, the same is
dismissed after the filing); 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

                                    Page 7
<PAGE>

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. The notice requirements set forth herein are
in lieu of and not in addition to the notices required by California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161.

22.(a)   Remedies:   In the event of any such default by Tenant, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity,
Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights
of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In
the event Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover
from Tenant: a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus b) the worth at the time of award
of the amount by which the unpaid rent would have been earned after termination
until the rime of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proven
could have been reasonably avoided; plus c) 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 Tenant proves could Be
reasonably avoided; plus d) 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 come of things would be
likely to result therefrom, and c) 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 California law. The term "rent", as used herein, shall be deemed to
be and to mean the minimum monthly installments of rent and all other sums
required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, all other
such sums being deemed to be additional rent due hereunder. As used in (a) and
(b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at
the rate of the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus
five (5%) percent per annum. As used in (c) above, "worth at the time of award
is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent.

22.(b)   Right to Re-enter:   In the event of any such default by Tenant,
Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to
re-enter the Premises and remove 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.

22.(c)   Abandonment:   In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the
Promises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to re-enter as
provided in paragraph 22.(b) above or shall take possession of the Premises
pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in paragraph 22.(a)
above, then the provisions of California Civil Coda Section 1951.4, as amended
from time to time, shall apply and Landlord may from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the
Promises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or
rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to
the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment
of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord;
second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of
the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment
of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by
Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as same may become due and
payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such
reletting during any month, which is applied by payment of rent hereunder, be
less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant
shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall
also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered
by the rentals received from such reletting.

22.(d)   No Termination:   No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by
Landlord pursuant to 22.(a) or 22.(c) of this Article 22 shall be construed as
an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by
Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such
reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.

                                    Page 8
<PAGE>

23.  SURRENDER OF LEASE:   The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not automatically effect a
merger of the Lease with Landlord's ownership of the Building or Premises.
Instead, at the option of Landlord, Tenant's surrender may terminate all or any
existing sublease or subtenancies, or may operate as an assignment to Landlord
of any or all such subleases or subtenancies, thereby creating a direct
Landlord-Tenant relationship between Landlord and any subtenants.

24.  HABITUAL DEFAULT:   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
paragraph 22, 22 (a) (b) (c) and (d), the parties hereto agree that if the
Tenant shall have defaulted in the performance of any (but not necessarily the
same) term or condition of this Lease for three or more times during any twelve
month period during the term hereof, then such conduct shall, at the election of
the Landlord, represent a separate event of default which cannot be cured by the
Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this provision is to prevent
repetitive defaults by the Tenant under the Lease, which work a hardship upon
the Landlord, and deprive the Landlord of the timely performance by the Tenant
hereunder.

25.  LANDLORD'S DEFAULT:   In the event of Landlord's failure to perform any of
its covenants or agreements under this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice of such failure and shall give Landlord thirty (30) days or such other
reasonable opportunity to cure such failure prior to any claim for breach or for
damages resulting from such failure.

26.  NOTICES:   All notices required to be given under this Lease shall be sent
by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal delivery
addressed to the party to be notified at the address for such party specified in
paragraph 1 of this Lease, or to such other place as the party to be notified
may from time to time designate by at least fifteen (15) days notice to the
notifying party.

27.  ENTRY BY LANDLORD:   Tenant shall permit Landlord and his agents to enter
into and upon said Premises at all reasonable times subject to any security
regulations of Tenant for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose
of maintaining the Premises or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or
additions to any other portion of said Premises or for the purpose of erecting
additional building(s) and improvements on the land where the Premises are
situated, or on adjacent land owned by Landlord, including the erection and
maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required
without any rebate of rent or without any liability to Tenant for any loss of
occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned; and Tenant
shall permit Landlord and his agents, at any time within one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any
"For Sale" or "For Lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants
at reasonable hours.

28.  DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES:   In the event of a partial destruction of the
Premises by an insured causality during the term from any cause, Landlord shall
forthwith repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date of receipt of all necessary governmental
approvals necessary under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or
Municipal authorities, such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void
this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of
rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based
upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with the
business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, in the reasonable judgement of
Landlord. For purposes of this paragraph "partial destruction" shall mean
destruction of no greater than one-third (1/3) of the replacement cost of the
Premises, including the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements paid for by
Landlord. In the event the Premises are more than partially destroyed, or in the
event the repairs cannot be made in one hundred eighty  (180) days, Landlord or
Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to
restore additions, alterations or improvements made by Tenant or replace
Tenant's fixtures or personal property. In respect to any partial destruction
which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of
this paragraph, the provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section
1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California am waived by
Tenant.

In the event of a total or partial destruction of the Premises by an uninsured
casualty, the Lease shall automatically terminate, unless (i) Landlord elects to
rebuild, and (ii) the damage can be repaired within one hundred eighty (180)
days.

29. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE: In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or
any interest therein including, without limitation, a pledge, mortgage or other
hypothecation, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord executed counterparts of any such agreement and of all ancillary
agreements with the proposed assignee or subtenant, financial statements, and
any additional information as reasonably required to determine whether it will
consent to the proposed assignment or sublease. The notice shall give the name
and current address of the proposed assignee/subtenant, proposed use of the
Premises, rental rate and current financial statement and upon request to
Tenant, Landlord shall be given additional information as reasonably required to
determine whether it will consent to the proposed assignment or sublease.
Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects (i) to
terminate this Lease as to the space to affected as of the date so specified by
Tenant in which event Tenant will be relieved of all further obligations
hereunder as to such space, (ii) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space
to the named assignee/subtenant on the terms and conditions set forth in the
notice, or (iii) to refuse consent. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in
writing of such election within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be
deemed to have elected option (ii) above. Any rent or other economic
consideration realized by Tenant under any such sublease and assignment in
excess of the rent payable hereunder (including an allocation of the purchase
price attributable to Tenant's leasehold interest in the event of a sale of the
Tenant's business), after the net unamortized cost of the Tenant Improvements
for which Tenant has itself paid, and reasonable subletting and assignment
costs, shall be divided and paid sixty-seven percent (67%) to Landlord and
thirty-three percent (33%) to Tenant. Tenant's obligation to pay over Landlord's
portion of the consideration shall constitute an obligation for additional rent
hereunder. The above provisions relating to Landlord's right to terminate the
Lease and relating to the allocation of bonus rent are independently negotiated
terms of the Lease, constitute a material inducement for the Landlord to enter
into the Lease, and are agreed as between the parties to be commercially
reasonable. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any
obligation under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with
the provisions hereof shall be void.

If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in part in the event
Tenant desires to sublet or assign part of the Premises, then (a) this Lease
shall end and expire, with respect to such part of the Premises, on the date
upon which the proposed sublease was to commence, and (b) from and after such
date, the rent and Tenant's allocable share of all other costs and charges shall
be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises
remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.

If Landlord does not exercise its option to terminate this Lease, Landlord's
consent (which must be in writing and in form reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord) to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided and upon condition that:

(a) The proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business that is limited
to the use expressly permitted under this Lease;

(b) The proposed assignee or subtenant is a company with sufficient financial
worth and management ability to undertake the financial obligation of this
Lease, and Landlord has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof;

(c) The proposed sublease shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

(d) The amount of the aggregate rent to be paid by the proposed subtenant is not
less than the then current "Fair Market Value" as defined in paragraph 38 below;

(e) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any costs that may be incurred
by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including the costs
of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or
subtenant and legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any
requested consent; and

(f) Tenant shall not have advertised or publicized in any way the availability
of the Premises without prior notice to, and approval by Landlord.

Any assignment or transfer shall be made only if and shall not be effective
until the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the assignee
shall assume all of the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be
performed or observed and shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding any
such sublease or assignment and the acceptance of rent or additional rent by
Landlord from any subtenant or assignee, Tenant shall and will remain fully
liable for the payment of the rent and additional rent due, and to become due
hereunder, for the performance of all of the covenants, agreements, terms,
provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be
performed and for all acts and omissions of any licensee, subtenant, assignee or
any other person claiming under or through any subtenant that shall be in
violation of any of the obligations of this Lease, and any such violation shall
be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from
any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or
subtenant or by any real estate brokers or other persons claiming a commission
or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

In the event of Tenant's default, Tenant hereby assigns all rents due from any
assignment or subletting to Landlord as security for performance of its
obligations under this Lease and Landlord may collect such rents as Tenant's
Attorney-in-Fact, except that Tenant may collect such rents unless a default
occurs as described in paragraph 22 above. The termination of this Lease due to
Tenant's default shall not automatically terminate any assignment or sublease
then in existence.  At the election of Landlord, the assignee or subtenant shall
attorn to Landlord and Landlord shall undertake the obligations of the Tenant
under the sublease or assignment; provided the landlord shall not be liable for
prepaid rent, security deposits or other defaults of the Tenant to the subtenant
or assignee.

If Tenant is a corporation or partnership, all the above provisions shall apply
to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the stock of the
corporation or the majority of ownership or control of the partnership, as if
such transfer were an assignment of this Lease.

30. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private
purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of
occupation hereunder, this Lease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of
the date title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser, and the rent payable
hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Tenant shall be required to pay for the
remainder of the term only such portion of such rent as the value of the part
remaining after such taking bears to the value of the entire Premises prior to
such taking;, but in such event Landlord shall have the option to terminate this
Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor or
purchaser. If all of the Premises, or such part thereof be taken so that there
does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall
thereupon terminate. If a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation
awarded upon such taking shall go to the Landlord and the Tenant shall have no
claim thereto but Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to mover compensation for
damage to or taking of any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant
or Tenant's moving costs. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Code
of Civil Procedures Section 1265.130.

31. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE: The term Landlord as used in this Lease, means only
the owner for the time being of the land and Building, containing the Premises,
so that, in the event of any sale of said land or Building, or in the event of a
master Lease of the Building, the Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed
and relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder, and it
shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and
the purchaser at any such sale, or the master tenant of the Building, that the
purchaser or master tenant of the Building has assumed and agreed to carry out
any and all covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall
transfer and deliver Tenant's security deposit, to the purchaser at any such
sale or the master tenant of the Building, and thereupon the Landlord shall be
discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.

32. SUBORDINATION: In the event Landlord notifies Tenant in writing, this Lease
shall be subordinate to any ground Lease, deed of trust, or other hypothecation
for security now or

                                    Page 11
<PAGE>

hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any and all advances made on the security the, roof and to renewals,
modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees to promptly
execute any documents which may be required to effectuate such subordination.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as
Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease. At the request of any lender, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any
reasonable modifications of this Lease which do not materially adversely affect
Tenant's s hereunder.

33. WAIVER: The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition, herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the
failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.

34. HOLDING OVER: Any holding over after the termination or expiration of
the said term, shall be construed to be a hold over tenancy and Tenant shall pay
rent to Landlord at a rate equal to the greater of (i) one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the monthly rental installment due in the month preceding the
termination or expiration of the Lease, pro rated on a daily basis or (ii) one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fair Market Rental (as defined in paragraph
37), pro rated on a daily basis. Any holding over shall otherwise be on the
terms and conditions herein specified, except those provisions relating to the
term and any options to extend or renew, which terms are expressly waived during
any hold over. Furthermore, no holding over shall be deemed or construed to
exercise any option to extend or renew this Lease in lieu of full and timely
exercise of any such option as required hereunder.

35. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The covenants and conditions herein contained
shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all the parties hereto; and
all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

36. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant shall at any time during the term of this
Lease, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord,
execute and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification) and the date to which the rent and other charges
are paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying
such defaults if they are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied
upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenant's
failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the
Tenant that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification
except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are not uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance. Tenant also agrees to provide thee (3) years of audited
financial statements within five (5) days of a request by Landlord for
Landlord's use in financing the Premises with commercial lenders.

37. OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, upon and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph, the option (the
"Option") to extend the term of this Lease for an additional term (the "Option
Term"), which option Term shall be a period of Sixty (60) months. The Option
Term shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord on or before
the date that is six (6) months prior to the expiration date of the initial term
of the Lease. If Tenant exercises the Option, each of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease except this paragraph shall apply during the Option
Term as though the expiration date of the Option Term was the date originally
set forth herein as the expiration date of the initial term, provided that the
rent to be paid shall be the greater of (i) the rent applicable to the period
immediately prior to the commencement of the Option Term, or (ii) the Fair
Market Rental, as hereinafter defined, for the Premises for the Option Term.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in
monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises the Option or at
any time thereafter prior to the commencement date of the Option Term, Landlord
shall have, in

                                    Page 12
<PAGE>

addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies provided in this Lease,
the right to terminate the Option upon notice to Tenant, in which event the
expiration date of this Lease shall be and remain the expiration date of the
initial term. As used herein, the term "Fair Market Rental" for the Premises
shall mean the base rent that Landlord could obtain during the Option Term from
a third party desiring to lease the Premises for the Option Term, taking into
account concessions being offered on the market at that time, the age of the
Building, the quality of construction of the Building and the Premises, the
services provided under the terms of this Lease, the rental and other monetary
payments, any escalations and adjustments thereto (including without limitation
Consumer Price Indexing) then being obtained for new leases of space comparable
to the Premises in the locality of the Building, and all other factors that
would be relevant to a third party desiring to lease the Premises for the Option
Term in determining the rental such party would be willing to pay therefor. The
determination of Fair Market Value shall also take into account that (i) Tenant
is in occupancy and making functional use of the space in its then existing
condition, and (ii) no brokerage commission is payable.

If Tenant exercises the Option, Landlord shall send to Tenant a notice setting
forth the Fair Market Rental for the Premises for the Option Term, on or before
the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the expiration date of
the initial terra. If Tenant disputes Landlord's determination of the Fair
Market Rental for the Option Term, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after
the date of Landlord's notice setting forth the Fair Market Rental for the
Option Term, send to Landlord a notice stating that Tenant either (x) elects to
terminate its exercise of the Option, in which event the Option shall lapse and
this Lease shall terminate on the expiration date of the initial term in the
manner provided herein, or (y) disagrees with Landlord's determination of Fair
Market Rental for the Option Term and elects to resolve the disagreement as
provided in paragraph 37(a) below, If Tenant does not send to Landlord a notice
as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord's determination of the Fair
Market Rental shall be the basis for determining the rent to be paid by Tenant
hereunder during the Option Term. If Tenant elects to resolve the disagreement
as provided in paragraph 37(a) below and such procedures shall not have been
concluded prior to the commencement date of the Option Term, Tenant shall pay
rent to Landlord hereunder adjusted to reflect the Fair Market Rental as
determined by Landlord in the manner provided above. If the amount of Fair
Market Rental as finally determined pursuant to in paragraph 37(a) below is
greater than Landlord's determination, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the Fair Market Rental as so
determined in paragraph 37(a) below within thirty (30) days after the
determination. If the Fair Market Rental as finally determined in paragraph
37(a) below is less than Landlord's determination, the difference between the
amount paid by Tenant and the Fair Market Rental as so determined in paragraph
37(a) below shall be credited against the next installments of rent due from
Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

37(a). Resolution of a Disagreement over the Fair Market Rental:   Any
disagreement regarding the Fair Market Rental shall be resolved as follows:

(i)   Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's response to Landlord's notice to
Tenant of the Fair Market Rental, Landlord and Tenant shall meet no less than
two (2) times, at a mutually agreeable time and place, to attempt to resolve any
such disagreement.

(ii)  If within the thirty (30) day period referred to in (i) above, Landlord
and Tenant can not reach agreement as to the Fair Market Rental, they shall each
select one appraiser determine the Fair Market Rental. Each such appraiser shall
arrive at a determination of the Fair Market Rental and submit their conclusions
to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the
thirty (30) day consultation period described in (i) above.

(iii) If only one appraisal is submitted within the requisite time period, it
shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Rental. If both appraisals are submitted
within such time period and the two appraisals so submitted differ by less than
ten percent (10%) of the higher of the two, the average of the two shall be the
Fair Market Rental. If the two appraisals differ by more than ten percent (10%)
of the higher of the two, then the two appraisers shall immediately select a
third appraiser who shall within thirty (30) days after his or her selection
make a determination of the Fair Market Rental and submit such determination to
Landlord and Tenant. This third appraisal will then be averaged with the closer
of the two previous appraisals and the result shall be the Fair Market Rental.

                                    Page 13
<PAGE>

(iv)  All appraisers specified pursuant to this paragraph shall be members of
the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than ten (10)
years experience appraising commercial properties in the Santa Clara Valley.
Each party shall pay the cost of the appraiser selected by such party and one-
half of the cost of the third appraiser plus one-half of any other costs
incurred in resolving the dispute pursuant to this paragraph.

38. OPTIONS: All Options provided Tenant in this Lease are personal and granted
to original Tenant and arc not exercisable by any third party should Tenant
assign or sublet all or a portion of its rights under this Lease, unless
Landlord consents to permit exercise of any option by any assignee or subtenant,
in Landlord's sole discretion. In the event that Tenant hereunder has any
multiple options to extend this Lease, a later option to extend the Lease cannot
be exercised unless the prior option has been so exercised. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the option shall be transferable or assignable to any entity that
acquires either a majority of the shares of stock of Tenant or a majority of the
assets of Tenant.

39. QUIET ENJOYMENT:  Upon Tenant's faithful and timely performance of all the
terms and covenants of the Lease, Tenant shall quietly have and hold the
Premises for the term and any extensions thereof.

40. BROKERS: Tenant represents it has not utilized or contacted a real estate
broker or finder with respect to this Lease other than Cornish & Carey

hold Landlord harmless against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action
asserted by any other broker or finder claiming through Tenant.

41. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY:  If Tenant should recover a money judgment against
Landlord arising in connection with this Lease, the judgment shall be satisfied
only out of Landlord's interest in the Premises including the improvements and
real property and neither Landlord or any of its partners shall be liable
personally for any deficiency.

the extent of their interest in said limited partnership.

43.  TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS Should a government agency or
municipality require Landlord to institute TDM (Transportation Demand
Management) facilities and/or program, Tenant hereby agrees that the cost of TDM
imposed facilities required on the Premises, including but not limited to
employee showers, lockers, cafeteria, or lunchroom facilities, shall be included
as Tenant Improvement Costs and any ongoing costs or expenses associated with a
TDM program, such as an on-site TDM coordinator, which arc required for the
Premises and not provided by Tenant shall be provided by Landlord with such
costs being included as additional rent and reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant.

44.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS:
