Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as
to the construction or configurations of the Premises, the precise area thereof
or the specific location of the "Common Areas," as that term is defined in
SECTION 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the access ways to the
Premises or the "Project," as that term is defined in SECTION 1.1.2, below.
Tenant accepts the Premises in their "as-is" condition and configuration, with
no alterations, additions, or improvements promised by Landlord beyond those
pre-existing in the Premises, except that Landlord shall provide one free
Building Standard suite entry sign and one lobby directory strip. Tenant also
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building
or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for
the conduct of Tenant's business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease
and any Addendum to Lease. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant
shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such
time in good and sanitary order, configuration, condition and repair.

                  1.1.2 THE BUILDING AND THE PROJECT. The Premises are a part of
the building set forth in SECTION 2.1 of the Summary (the "BUILDING"). The
Building is part of a mixed use project also currently known as "THE AVENTINE."
The term "PROJECT," as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the
Common Areas, (ii) the land (which may be improved with landscaping, above
ground and subterranean parking facilities and other improvements) upon which
the Building and the Common Areas are located, (iii) those certain other
buildings or facilities located in the vicinity of the Building and commonly
known as AVENTINE HOTEL, THE SPORTING CLUB, AND RESTAURANT COURT PARCEL, and
(iv) at Landlord's discretion, any additional real property, areas, land,
buildings or other improvements added thereto whether inside or outside of the
current boundaries of the Project.

                  1.1.3 COMMON AREAS. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right
to use in common with other tenants and owners in the Project, and subject to
the rules and regulations referred to in ARTICLE 5 of this Lease, those portions
of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by
Landlord, Tenant, other Building tenants, other owners at the Project, and any
other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of
the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas
designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord
and certain tenants or other owners, are collectively referred to herein as the
"COMMON AREAS"). The Common Areas shall consist of the "Project Common Areas"
and the "Building Common Areas." The term "PROJECT COMMON AREAS," as used in
this Lease, shall mean the Common Areas external to the Building but serving the
Building's tenants and any other portions of the Project reasonably designated

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

as such by Landlord. The term "BUILDING COMMON AREAS," as used in this Lease,
shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building (e.g.
lobby, corridors, elevators) or in its immediate surround (e.g. walkways,
landscaping for the Building) or reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The
manner in which the Common Areas are maintained, operated, and made available
shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject
to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to
time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or
additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common
Areas.

         1.2 VERIFICATION OF RENTABLE SQUARE FEET OF PREMISES AND BUILDING. For
purposes of this Lease, the "RENTABLE SQUARE FEET" of the Premises shall be
measured using the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings,
ANSI Z65.1 - 1996 ("BOMA") as a guideline. In the event that the rentable area
and/or usable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project shall
hereafter change due to (i) a re-measurement and/or recalculation by Landlord of
the rentable area and/or usable area of all premises in the Building on a
uniform basis or (ii) subsequent alterations and/or other modifications to the
Premises, the Building and/or the Project, then the rentable area and/or usable
area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as the case may be, shall
be appropriately adjusted as of the date of such re-measurement or such
alteration and/or other modification, respectively, based upon the written
verification by Landlord's space planner or Landlord's space management firm of
such revised rentable area and/or usable area. In the event of any such
adjustment to the rentable area and/or usable area of the Premises, the Building
and/or the Project, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred
to in this Lease based upon such rentable area and/or usable area (including the
amount of the "Rent" and any "Security Deposit," as those terms are defined in
ARTICLE 4 and ARTICLE 21 of this Lease, respectively) shall be modified in
accordance with such determination. If other floors of the Building are in shell
condition, the load factor may vary. Premises which are not yet demised (common
area corridors and/or boundary walls have not been fully constructed) are
subject to re-measurement upon completion of construction, and load factors
(rentable vs. usable area) are subject to re-calculation upon completion of
tenant improvements on the floor on which the Premises are located and/or on
conversion of floors from single to multi-tenant use and vice versa.

                                   ----------

                  2.1 INITIAL LEASE TERM. The terms and provisions of this Lease
shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the
"LEASE TERM") shall be as set forth in SECTION 3.1 of the Summary, shall
commence on the date set forth in SECTION 3.2 of the Summary (the "COMMENCEMENT
DATE"), and shall terminate on the date set forth in SECTION 3.3 of the Summary
(the "EXPIRATION DATE") unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Premises to
Tenant due to the holding over of an existing tenant of the Building or for any
reason other than Landlord's willful refusal to deliver the Premises when
Landlord is otherwise reasonably capable of such delivery, then Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability whatsoever to Tenant for such delay, and such
failure shall not impair the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant
hereunder. For purposes of this Lease, the term "LEASE YEAR" shall mean each
consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided that, if
the Commencement Date shall be other than the first day of a calendar month,
then the first Lease Year shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end
on the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the Commencement
Date occurs; and further provided that, the last Lease Year shall end on the
Expiration Date. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to
Tenant a Notice in the form as set forth in EXHIBIT C, attached hereto, as a

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall
execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt thereof.
Tenant's failure to execute and return such Notice to Landlord within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the information set forth in such Notice is
as set forth therein.

                                    BASE RENT
                                    ---------

         Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord at the
Rent Payment Address set forth in SECTION 12 of the Summary, or, at Landlord's
sole option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in
writing, by a check or generally accepted electronic funds transfer alternative
(E.G., ACH) for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for
private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent ("BASE RENT")
as set forth in SECTION 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments
as set forth in SECTION 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day
of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or
deduction whatsoever. Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term which
occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid at the time of
Tenant's execution of this Lease. Base Rent for any initial partial calendar
month shall be payable on delivery of the Premises. If any Rent payment date
(including the Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the
first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is
shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a
daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such
calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal
to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments
required to be made under the terms of this Lease or any future extension or
amendment hereof that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the
same basis.

                                 ---------------

         4.1 GENERAL TERMS. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in
ARTICLE 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay (a) "Tenant's Share," as that term is
defined in SECTION 4.2.7 of this Lease, of the annual "Insurance Expenses," as
that term is defined in SECTIONS 4.2.4 of this Lease, which are in excess of the
amount of Insurance Expenses applicable to the "Base Year," as that term is
defined in SECTION 4.2.1 of this Lease, plus (b) Tenant's Share of the annual
"Operating Expenses," as that term is defined in SECTION 4.2.5 of this Lease,
which are in excess of the amount of Operating Expenses applicable to the Base
Year, plus (c) Tenant's Share of the annual "Tax Expenses," as that term is
defined in SECTION 4.2.6 of this Lease, which are in excess of the amount of Tax
Expenses applicable to the Base Year; provided, however, in no event shall any
decrease in Insurance Expenses, Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses, as the case
may be, for any "Expense Year," as that term is defined in SECTION 4.2.3 of this
Lease, below Insurance Expenses, Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses,
respectively, for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent or
any credit against any Additional Rent or other sums due under this Lease. Such
payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "ADDITIONAL RENT", and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent
are herein collectively referred to as "RENT." All amounts due under this
ARTICLE 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the
same manner as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant
which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay
the Additional Rent provided for in this ARTICLE 4 shall survive the expiration
of the Lease Term.

         4.2 DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS RELATING TO ADDITIONAL RENT. As used in

forth:

                  4.2.1 "BASE YEAR" shall mean the period set forth in SECTION 5

"Operating Expenses" and "Tax Expenses."

any portion of the Lease Term falls, through and including the calendar year in
which the Lease Term expires.

                  4.2.4 "INSURANCE EXPENSES" shall mean the cost of all

some or all of the said insurance under a blanket policy or policies which cover
other properties owned or managed by Landlord or any affiliates of Landlord, in
which event Insurance Expenses shall include an equitable allocation of the cost
of such insurance, as determined by Landlord. In the event Landlord adds or
discontinues any special risk insurance, such as earthquake insurance, during
the Term, then the Base Year and any applicable Expense Years shall each be
adjusted by such addition or discontinuance. In the event Landlord self-insures
any risks, the costs thereof shall be treated as insurance premiums provided
that such costs do not exceed third-party insurance premiums for comparable
coverage.

                  4.2.5 "OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, costs and
amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues during any
Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management,
maintenance, monitoring, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the
Building, other portions of the Project owned by Landlord, and those portions of
the Project to the extent serving the building (e.g., Common Areas). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall specifically
include any and all of the following incurred in the ordinary course of
operating the Building or Project, or required for the continued operation of
the Building or Project in material compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, or required for the continued operation of the Building or Project
in substantially the same condition as that on the date of this Lease: (i) the

under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive
covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Building or

coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in common areas, maintenance and
replacement of curbs and walkways, repair to roofs and roof membranes and
re-roofing; (xi) amortization (including interest on the unamortized cost) over
such period of time as Landlord shall reasonably determine, of the cost of
acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance,
operation and repair of the Building, other portions of the Project owned by
Landlord, and those portions of the Project to the extent serving the Building
(e.g., Common Areas); (xii) the cost of capital improvements or other costs
incurred in connection with the Building, other portions of the Project owned by
Landlord, and those portions of the Project to the extent serving the Building
(e.g., Common Areas) (A) which are intended to effect economies in operation or
maintenance, or to reduce current or future Operating Expenses or to enhance the
fire/life-safety systems, access control, or monitoring, (B) that are required
to comply with present or anticipated conservation programs, (C) which are
replacements or modifications of nonstructural items located in the Common Areas
required to keep the Common Areas in good order or condition, or (D) that are
required under any governmental law or regulation; provided, however, that any
capital expenditure shall be amortized (including interest on the amortized
cost) over such period of time as Landlord shall reasonably determine; and

reasonably established by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes
of this Lease, Operating Expenses shall not, however, include:

                           (a) costs, including legal fees, space planners'
         fees, advertising and promotional expenses (except as otherwise set
         forth above), and brokerage fees incurred in connection with the
         original construction or development, or original or future leasing of
         the Building, and costs, including permit, license and inspection
         costs, incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements
         made for new tenants initially occupying space in the Building after
         the Commencement Date or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving,
         decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other
         occupants of the Building (excluding, however, such costs relating to
         any Common Areas);

                           (b) except as set forth in items (x), (xi), and (xii)
         above, depreciation, interest and principal payments on mortgages and

                           (c) costs for which the Landlord is reimbursed by any
         tenant or occupant of the Project and/or Building or by insurance by

                           (e) costs associated with the operation of the
         business of the partnership or entity which constitutes the Landlord,
         as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the
         Building (but Direct Expenses shall specifically include, but not be
         limited to, accounting costs associated with the operation of the
         Building). Costs associated with the operation of the business of the
         partnership or entity which constitutes the Landlord include costs of

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

         partnership accounting and legal matters, costs of defending any
         lawsuits with any mortgagee (except as the actions of the Tenant may be
         in issue), costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or
         hypothecating any of the Landlord's interest in the Building, and costs
         incurred in connection with any disputes between Landlord and its
         employees, between Landlord and property management, or between
         Landlord and other tenants or occupants;

                           (f) the wages and benefits of any employee who does
         not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the
         Building unless such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect time
         spent on operating and managing the Building vis-a-vis time spent on
         other projects;

                           (g) amount paid as ground rental for the Building by
         the Landlord;

                           (h) except for a property management fee, overhead
         and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates
         of the Landlord for services to the extent the costs thereof exceed
         those rendered by qualified, first-class unaffiliated third parties;

                           (i) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or
         other persons in commercial concessions operated by the Landlord (which
         shall specifically exclude the parking facilities), provided that any
         compensation paid to any concierge at the parking lot serving the
         Building shall be includable as an Operating Expense;

                           (j) rentals and other related expenses incurred in
         leasing air conditioning systems, elevators or other equipment which if
         purchased the cost of which would be excluded from Operating Expenses
         as a capital cost, except equipment not affixed to the Building which
         is used in providing janitorial or similar services and, further
         excepting from this exclusion such equipment rented or leased to remedy
         or ameliorate an emergency condition at the Building or affecting
         Common Areas;

                           (k) all items and services for which Tenant or any
         other tenant directly and fully reimburses Landlord;

                           (l) rent for any office space occupied by property
         management personnel to the extent the size or rental rate of such
         office space exceeds the size or fair market rental value of office
         space occupied by management personnel of the comparable buildings in
         the vicinity of the Building, with adjustment where appropriate for the
         size of the applicable project; and

                           (m) costs arising from the gross negligence or
         willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees.

         If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost
of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to
a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the
performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be
increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would
reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its
own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Building is
not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of the
Base Year or any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to
the components of Operating Expenses for such year to determine the amount of
Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building been
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed
to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year. Operating Expenses
for the Base Year shall not include market-wide cost increases due to

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

extraordinary circumstances, including Force Majeure, boycotts, strikes,
conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages, or amortized costs relating to
capital improvements. In no event shall the components of Operating Expenses for
any Expense Year related to Building monitoring/access control or utility costs
be less than the components of Operating Expenses related to Building
monitoring/access control or utility costs, respectively, in the Base Year.

                  4.2.6    TAXES.

                           4.2.6.1 "TAX EXPENSES" shall mean all federal, state,
county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other
impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, (including real estate taxes, general and special assessments,
transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent,
including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent,
unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the
fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances,
furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project, or
any portion thereof), which shall be paid or accrued during any Expense Year
(without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or
municipal authority) because of or in connection with Landlord's ownership,
leasing and/or operation of the Building, other portions of the Project owned by
Landlord, or those portions of the Project to the extent serving the Building
(e.g., Common Areas), or any portions thereof. Without limiting the generality
of this Section 4.2.6.1, if at any time prior to or during the Term any sale,
refinancing or change in ownership of the Building is consummated, and if
Landlord reasonably anticipates re-assessment as a result thereof, but that such
reassessment may not be completed during the applicable calendar year, then for
all purposes under this Lease, Landlord will calculate Tax Expenses applicable
to such calendar year and thereafter based upon Landlord's good faith estimate
of the Tax Expenses which will result from such reassessment. Upon the
finalization of any such reassessment and Landlord's determination of actual Tax
Expenses applicable to the Base Year and all Expense Years subsequent thereto,
as applicable, Landlord shall have the right to adjust the applicable Tax
Expenses therefor and, upon such adjustment, Landlord or Tenant, as appropriate,
shall promptly make such reconciliation payment (which, in the case of Landlord,
may be made in the form of a credit against the installment(s) of Tenant's Share
of Tax Expense Excess next coming due) as may be necessary in order that Tenant
pays Tenant's Share of actual Tax Expense Excess for each such Expense Year.

                           4.2.6.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without
limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the
Building, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the
Building, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge
in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment,
tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real
property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13
was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election
("PROPOSITION 13") and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be
imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street,
sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental
services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and,
in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental
services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also
include any governmental or private assessments or the Building's contribution
towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of
augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided
by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge
allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable
hereunder, including any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect
to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by
Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax,
fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a
party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

                           4.2.6.3 Any costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' and consultants' fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or
minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such
expenses are incurred, but shall not be included in calculating any Base Taxes.
Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant
regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is
applicable, provided that in no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant
for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional
Rent under this ARTICLE 4 for Tax Expenses for such Expense Year. If Tax
Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are
increased after payment thereof for any reason, including error or reassessment
by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord
upon demand Tenant's Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 4.2.6 (except as set forth in
SECTION 4.2.6.1, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all
excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes,
inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes
imposed on income from all sources, and other taxes to the extent applicable to
Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income
attributable to operations at the Building), (ii) any items included as
Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under SECTION 4.5 of this
Lease.

                           4.2.6.4 The amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year
attributable to the valuation of the Building and its appurtenances, inclusive
of tenant improvements, shall be known as the "BASE TAXES". If in any comparison
year subsequent to the Base Year, the amount of Tax Expenses decreases below the
amount of Base Taxes, then for purposes of all subsequent comparison years,
including the comparison year in which such decrease in Tax Expenses occurred,
the Base Taxes, and therefore the Base Year, shall be decreased by an amount
equal to the decrease in Tax Expenses.

                           4.2.7 "TENANT'S SHARE" shall mean the percentage set
forth in SECTION 6 of the Summary.

         4.3 COST POOLS. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to
equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses among different portions
or occupants of the portions of the Project owned by Landlord (the "COST
POOLS"), in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but
shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of the Building, and the
restaurant tenants in the Restaurant Court Parcel portion of the Project. The
Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the
tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

         4.4 CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT. If for any Expense Year
ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Insurance Expenses for such Expense
Year exceed Insurance Expenses applicable to the Base Year ("INSURANCE EXPENSE
EXCESS") and/or Operating Expenses for such Expense Year exceed Operating
Expenses applicable to the Base Year ("OPERATING EXPENSE EXCESS") and/or Tax
Expenses for such Expense Year exceed Tax Expenses applicable to the Base Year
(the "TAX EXPENSE EXCESS"), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set
forth in SECTION 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount (referred to
herein as "TENANT'S DIRECT EXPENSE EXCESS") equal to the sum of Tenant's Share
of the Insurance Expense Excess, if any, plus Tenant's Share of the Operating
Expense Excess, if any, plus Tenant's Share of the Tax Expense Excess, if any.

                  4.4.1 STATEMENT OF ACTUAL DIRECT EXPENSES AND PAYMENT BY
TENANT. Landlord shall give to Tenant not later than April 30th following the
end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "STATEMENT") which shall state the
Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which
shall indicate the amount of Tenant's Direct Expense Excess (pro-rated as needed
if the Lease Term ends or commences part way through the calendar year). Upon
receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the
Lease Term, if a Tenant's Direct Expense Excess is present, Tenant shall pay,
with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of such Tenant's

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

Direct Expense Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid
during such Expense Year as "Estimated Excess," as that term is defined in
SECTION 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the
actual Tenant's Direct Expense Excess, Tenant shall receive a credit in the
amount of Tenant's overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The
failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall
not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this ARTICLE 4.
Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when
the final determination is made of Tenant's Direct Expense Excess for the
Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if a Tenant's Direct Expense Excess
is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant
paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Tenant's Direct Expense Excess,
Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in
the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this SECTION 4.4.1 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

                  4.4.2 STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED DIRECT EXPENSES. In addition,
Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "ESTIMATE
STATEMENT") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the
"ESTIMATE") of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current
Expense Year shall be and the estimated amount of Tenant's Direct Expense Excess
for the then-current Expense Year (the "ESTIMATED EXCESS") as calculated by
comparing the components of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall
be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of the components of Direct Expenses
for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate
Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its
rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this ARTICLE 4, nor shall Landlord
be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess
theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay,
with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess
for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts already paid pursuant
to this SECTION 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of
months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of
such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement
is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any
time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an
amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in
the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

         4.5 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES FOR WHICH TENANT IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE.

                  4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least ten
(10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant's equipment,
furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the
Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any
other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if
the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein
of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal
property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment,
which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but
only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay
to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes
resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

                  4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether
installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to
the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property
tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant
improvements conforming to Landlord's "Building Standard" in other space in the
Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the
property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes
levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the
provisions of SECTION 4.5.1, above.

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

                  4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant
shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax,
transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or
services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or
with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, including the
Building's parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or
any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises. Such amounts shall not be reduced by Tenant's Share.

         4.6 LANDLORD'S BOOKS AND RECORDS. Within forty-five (45) days after
receipt of a Statement by Tenant, if Tenant disputes the amount of Direct
Expenses set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant
(which accountant is a member of a nationally recognized accounting firm and
which accountant shall not be compensated on a contingency fee or similar basis
related to the result of such audit), designated by Tenant, may, after
reasonable Notice to Landlord and at reasonable times subject to Landlord's
reasonable scheduling requirements, inspect Landlord's records at Landlord's
offices where such records are kept and/or where the accounting personnel
responsible for calculating Direct Expenses work; provided that Tenant is not
then in Default under this Lease and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be
paid under the applicable Statement; and further provided that such inspection
must be completed within thirty (30) days after Landlord's records are made
available to Tenant. Tenant agrees that any records of Landlord reviewed under
this SECTION 4.6 shall constitute confidential information of Landlord, which
Tenant shall not disclose, nor permit to be disclosed by Tenant or Tenant's
accountant, and Tenant's accountant must enter into a commercially reasonable
confidentiality agreement with Landlord prior to commencing the audit. If,
within ten (10) days after such inspection, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing
that Tenant still disputes such Direct Expenses included in the Statement, then
a certification as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant's expense, by
an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord, which
certification shall be final and conclusive; provided, however, if the actual
amount of Direct Expenses due for that Expense Year, as determined by such
certification, is determined to have been overstated by more than six percent
(6%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable fees of Tenant's audit and the
reasonable costs associated with such certification, in each instance exclusive
of travel expenses. Tenant's failure (i) to take exception to any Statement
within forty-five (45) days after Tenant's receipt of such Statement or (ii) to
timely complete its inspection of Landlord's records or (iii) to timely notify
Landlord of any remaining dispute after such inspection shall be deemed to be
Tenant's approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or
ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement, which Statement
shall be considered final and binding.

                                 USE OF PREMISES
                                 ---------------

         5.1 PERMITTED USE. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the
Permitted Use set forth in SECTION 7 of the Summary and Tenant shall not use or
permit the Premises or the Project to be used for any other purpose or purposes
whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld
in Landlord's sole discretion. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the Premises
shall not be used as a medical office, dental office, government office, call
center or server farm, or for any high density or high pedestrian traffic use.

         5.2 PROHIBITED USES. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not
use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part
thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of this Lease or of
the Rules and Regulations set forth in EXHIBIT B, attached hereto, or in
violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State in which the
Project is located, the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local

                                      -14-

municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having
jurisdiction over the Project, including any such laws, ordinances, regulations
or requirements relating to hazardous materials or substances, as those terms
are defined by applicable laws now or hereafter in effect, or of any Underlying
Documents. A violation of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant shall be deemed a
Default under this ARTICLE 5. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done
in or about the Premises which will in any way damage the reputation of the
Project or obstruct or interfere with standard Building operations or the rights
of other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or annoy them or use or
allow the Premises to be used for any improper, unlawful or objectionable
purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about
the Premises. Tenant shall comply with, and Tenant's rights and obligations
under the Lease and Tenant's use of the Premises shall be subject and
subordinate to, all Underlying Documents now or hereafter affecting the Project.

         5.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer
anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any
way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule,
regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or
promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all
such governmental measures. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter
be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body
charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational,
health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then
Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such
standards or regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and
expense, to make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with
the governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in this
ARTICLE 5, including the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended
(ADA), whether or not the necessity for compliance is triggered by Tenant's use
of the Premises, and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall make any
changes to the Premises required to accommodate Tenant's employees with
disabilities (it being understood that all work performed by Tenant pursuant to
this SECTION 5.3 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of ARTICLE 8,
below). The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of
Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party
thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

         5.4 CC&RS. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions,
and restrictions currently affecting the Project (the "CURRENT CC&RS").
Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that the Project may be subject to any future
covenants, conditions, and restrictions and/or amendments to the Current CC&Rs
(in any such event, the "FUTURE CC&RS") which Landlord, in Landlord's
discretion, deems reasonably necessary or desirable, and Tenant agrees that this
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the Current CC&Rs and such Future
CC&Rs (collectively, the "CC&RS").

         6.1 STANDARD TENANT SERVICES. Landlord shall provide the following
services on all days (unless otherwise stated below) during the Lease Term.

                  6.1.1 Subject to limitations imposed by all governmental
rules, regulations and guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord shall provide
heating and air conditioning ("HVAC") when necessary for normal comfort for
normal office use in the Premises during normal "BUILDING HOURS" (as defined in
the Rules and Regulations set forth in EXHIBIT B, attached hereto), except for
the date of observation of New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial
Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and, at Landlord's discretion, or
nationally recognized holidays (collectively, the "HOLIDAYS"), and provided
further that HVAC shall be provided on Saturdays upon Tenant request only.

<PAGE>

                  6.1.2 Landlord shall provide adequate electrical wiring and
facilities for connection to Tenant's lighting fixtures and incidental use
equipment, for lighting and power reasonably suitable for the Permitted Use,
taking into account Tenant's usage of personal computers and other office
machines to the extent such usage is consistent with the usage employed by
general office users in the Building and at buildings located in the submarket
in which the Building is located that are comparable to the Building in class,
age and size; provided further that Tenant's electrical usage shall be subject
to applicable laws and regulations. Tenant shall bear the cost of replacement of
lamps, starters and ballasts for non-Building Standard lighting fixtures within
the Premises, which shall be replaced/installed only by Landlord. Landlord shall
replace Building Standard light bulbs/tubes (but not starters or ballasts) at no
charge to Tenant.

                  6.1.3 Landlord shall provide untreated city water from the
regular Building outlets for lavatory and toilet purposes in the Building Common
Areas.

                  6.1.4 Landlord shall provide Building standard janitorial
services to the Premises, except for weekends and the date of observation of the
Holidays, in and about the Premises.

                  6.1.5 Subject to emergencies, Landlord shall provide
nonexclusive, non-attended automatic passenger elevator service during the
Building Hours, shall have at least one elevator available at all other times,
including on the Holidays.

                  6.1.6 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive freight elevator
service subject to scheduling by Landlord and subject to charge for after-hours
usage.

                  6.1.7 Subject to the provisions of this Lease and such
reasonable access control as Landlord may from time to time determine (with
which Tenant and its employees shall comply), Tenant shall have access to the
Building and the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per
week; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Landlord nor any
of the "Landlord Parties," as that term is defined in Section 10.1, below, shall
in any case be liable for personal injury, property damage or otherwise for any
error with regard to the admission to or exclusion from the Building or Project
of any person. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any access control provided
after Building Hours is at a level consistent with reducing uninvited persons,
vandalism, and graffiti, and is not intended to assure personal safety or to
prevent losses from theft.

         Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord at all times and abide by
all regulations and requirements that Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the
proper functioning and protection of the HVAC, electrical, mechanical and
plumbing systems.

         6.2 OVERSTANDARD TENANT USE. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
written consent, use heat-generating machines (Energy Star photocopiers and
computer printers excepted), machines other than normal fractional horsepower
office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building Standard lights in
the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air
conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by
Landlord pursuant to the terms of SECTION 6.1 of this Lease. If Tenant uses
water, electricity, heat or air conditioning in excess of that supplied by
Landlord pursuant to SECTION 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
upon billing, the actual cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the
installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in
order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and
tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may
install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant
shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord, on demand, at the rates
charged by the public utility company furnishing the same, including the cost of

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

installing, testing and maintaining of such additional metering devices.
Tenant's use of electricity shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to
the Project or the risers or wiring installation and if it does, Tenant shall be
responsible for upgrading same at its sole cost and expense. Subject to the
terms of SECTION 29.31, below, Tenant shall not install or use or permit the
installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing equipment in
the Premises (other than personal computers and local area networks), without
the prior written consent of Landlord. If Tenant desires to use heat,
ventilation or air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord
is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of SECTION 6.1 of
this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord such prior Notice, if any, as Landlord
shall from time to time establish as appropriate, of Tenant's desired use in
order to supply such utilities, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to
Tenant at such hourly cost per zone to Tenant (which shall be treated as
Additional Rent) as Landlord shall from time to time establish.

         6.3 INTERRUPTION OF USE. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be
liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or
delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication
services, if any), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof,
when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by
breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or
other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other
fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or
other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or
breach or Default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond
Landlord's reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall
never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and
possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any
of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable
under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to,
or interference with, Tenant's business, including loss of profits or other
consequential damages, however occurring, through or in connection with or
incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth
in this ARTICLE 6 PROVIDED SUCH FAILURE TO FURNISH ANY OF SUCH SERVICES WAS
CAUSED BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE LANDLORD'S CONTROL.

                                     -------

         Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, keep the Premises, including all
improvements, fixtures, furnishings, and systems and equipment therein
(including plumbing fixtures and equipment such as dishwashers, garbage
disposals, refrigerators, coffee makers and Insta Hot and similar dispensers),
and the portion of the floor or floors of the Building on which the Premises are
located, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term.
In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, but under the supervision
and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period
of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the
Premises and replace or repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and
appurtenances, except for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or beyond the
reasonable control of Tenant; provided however, that, at Landlord's option, or
if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such
repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof,
including a fifteen percent (15%) supervisory fee forthwith upon being billed
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for
repairs to the exterior walls, foundation and roof of the Building, the
structural portions of the floors of the Building, and the base building systems
and equipment of the Building, except to the extent that such repairs are
required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; provided,
however, that if such repairs are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make such repairs at Tenant's expense, or,
if covered by Landlord's insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any
deductible in connection therewith. Landlord may, but shall not be required to,
enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment

                                      -17-

located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord
may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court
order or decree. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of
subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil
Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
                            -------------------------

         8.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO ALTERATIONS. Tenant may not make any
improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any
mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises,
including any cabling or fixturization, but excluding minor fixturization
incidental to installation of workstations (collectively, the "ALTERATIONS"),
without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such
Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alterations which modify the structural
portions or the systems or equipment of the Building, are visible from the
exterior of the Building or would reduce the marketability of the Premises or
their fair market rental rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be
permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days Notice to
Landlord, but without Landlord's prior consent, to the extent that such
Alterations are decorative only (i.e., installation of carpeting or painting of
the Premises using Building Standard materials, finishes and colors and not
visible from the exterior of the Premises). The construction of the initial
improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Addendum to
Lease and not the terms of this ARTICLE 8.

         8.2 MANNER OF CONSTRUCTION. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its
consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the
Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem
desirable, including the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only
contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen selected by
Tenant from a list provided and approved by Landlord and the requirement that
upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such
Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term.
Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and
workmanlike manner, diligently and without material cessation, delay or
interruption, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county
or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building
permit, issued by the municipality in which the Building is located all in
conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations and reasonable
additional directives; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct
any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord's design
parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any
Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally
required changes to the "Base Building," as that term is defined below, then
Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The
"BASE BUILDING" shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the
public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells, paths of travel and the systems
and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or
floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such
Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to
obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of
the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants
in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon Notice from Landlord shall cease
using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce
or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the
Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant's obligations under ARTICLE

<PAGE>

Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county
in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the
California Civil Code or any successor statute and furnish a copy thereof to
Landlord upon recordation, and timely give all notices required pursuant to
Section 3259.5 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute (failing
which, Landlord may itself execute and file such Notice of Completion and give
such notices on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's agent for such purpose), and Tenant
shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the "as
built" drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and other
documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.

         8.3 PAYMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS. If payment is made by Tenant directly to
contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord's requirements for final lien
releases and waivers in connection with Tenant's payment for work to
contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord's standard contractor's rules and
regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord an amount equal to Landlord's then current standard fee to
compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs
and expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such work. If Tenant does
not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
Landlord's reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in
connection with Landlord's review of such work plus a meeting and review fee
equal to six percent (6%) of the total cost of the work.

         8.4 CONSTRUCTION INSURANCE. In addition to the requirements of ARTICLE
10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the
commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence
that Tenant carries "BUILDER'S ALL RISK" insurance in an amount approved by
Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance
as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of
such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to ARTICLE 10 of this Lease
immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its
discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some
alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to
ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a
co-obligee.

         8.5 LANDLORD'S PROPERTY. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures,
equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the
Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be
and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any fixtures
and/or equipment (E.G., additional HVAC or chillers) which Tenant can
substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement
allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any
damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the
affected portion of the Premises to a Building Standard tenant improved
condition as determined by Landlord. Furthermore, Landlord may, by Notice to
Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier
termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove any
Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment within the Premises
and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and
return the affected portion of the Premises to a Building Standard tenant
improved condition as determined by Landlord. If Tenant fails to complete such
removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations
and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment in the Premises and return the
affected portion of the Premises to a Building Standard tenant improved
condition as reasonably determined by Landlord, (i) Landlord may do so and may
charge the cost thereof to Tenant, and (ii) Tenant shall be deemed to be in
holdover until such time as the removal and restoration is completed (and,
accordingly, the terms of ARTICLE 16 of this Lease shall be applicable during
such period). Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds the
Landlord Parties harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim
of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or
financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in,
on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall not under any
circumstances be liable to any equipment lessor or construction lender for loss
or other impairment of their collateral.

         Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or
encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities,
judgments or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out
of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord Notice at least
twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or
such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford
Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of
non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or
otherwise within ten (10) business days after Notice by Landlord, and if Tenant
shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien
or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity
thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease
payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to
Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize
Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord's title to the Building or
Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or
express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the
Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the
Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void,
or if required by law shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the
Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the
Project, Building and Premises.

         10.1 INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER. Except to the extent arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Tenant hereby assumes all
risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises
from any cause whatsoever (including any personal injuries resulting from a slip
and fall in, upon or about the Premises) and agrees that Landlord, its partners,
subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and
independent contractors (collectively, "LANDLORD PARTIES") shall not be liable
for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to
person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is
sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and
all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including court costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expert witness fees) incurred in connection with or arising
from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including a slip and fall), any
acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees,
guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Project or
any breach of the terms of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the
expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity
shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in
connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and such
claim is not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit,
including its actual professional fees such as reasonable appraisers',
accountants' and attorneys' fees. The provisions of this SECTION 10.1 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any
claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such
expiration or termination.

         10.2 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord shall insure the Building during
the Lease Term against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered
within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended
coverage. Such coverage shall be in such amounts, with such deductibles, from
such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from
time to time reasonably determine. Landlord shall also carry rent continuation
insurance. Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may
include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a
rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the
holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord
in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any
portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 10.2,
the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the
Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of
insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings
comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building (provided that in no event
shall Landlord be required to carry, although it may at its sole option carry,
earthquake insurance). Landlord may carry some or all of the insurance in
connection with the Project under a blanket policy or policies which cover other
properties owned or managed by Landlord or any affiliates of Landlord, in which
event Insurance Expenses shall include an equitable allocation of the cost of
such insurance, as determined by Landlord. Landlord may also elect to carry some
or all of the insurance in connection with the Project by a program of
co-insurance and/or self-insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply
with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises.
If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises (regardless of Landlord's approval of
said use) causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the
American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire
Underwriters) and with any similar body.

         10.3 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages
in the following amounts.

                  10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance (ISO occurrence
form CG 00 01 or its substantially similar successor form) covering the insured
against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including
loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant's operations, and contractual
liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements)
including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this
Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in
SECTION 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:

      Bodily Injury and                         $3,000,000 each occurrence
      Property Damage Liability                 $3,000,000 annual aggregate

      Personal Injury Liability                 $3,000,000 each occurrence
                                                $3,000,000 annual aggregate
                                                0% Insured's participation

                  10.3.2 Commercial Property Insurance (ISO special causes of
loss form CP 10 30 or its substantially similar successor form) covering (i) all
office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing
cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's
property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii)
the "Tenant Improvements," as that term is defined in the Addendum to Lease, and
any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Commencement Date
(excluding the Base Building) (the "ORIGINAL IMPROVEMENTS"), and (iii) all other
improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises. Such insurance shall be
for the full replacement cost (subject to reasonable deductible amounts not to
exceed $5,000.00) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance
and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other
peril including vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any
type (including sprinkler leakage and bursting or stoppage of pipes), and
explosion, and providing business interruption coverage for a period of one
year.

                  10.3.3 Worker's Compensation Insurance pursuant to all
applicable state and local statutes and regulations, and Employer's Liability
Insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000.00 per accident for bodily injury
or disease.

                  10.3.4 Business Auto Liability Insurance with limits of not
less than $1,000,000.00 per accident.

                  10.3.5 Business interruption, loss of income and extra expense
insurance in amounts sufficient to pay for Tenant's expenses and lost income
attributable to perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or
attributable to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.

         10.4 FORM OF POLICIES. The minimum limits of policies of insurance
required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of
Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) name as additional insureds
Landlord, and the other Additional Insureds listed in Section 16 of the Summary,
and any other party Landlord hereafter so specifies to Tenant via written
Notice, together with their "Related Parties" defined as their parents,
affiliates, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries,
successors, lenders (if required by loan agreements), and their successors and
assigns, it being the intent of this Section to trigger the additional insured
coverage under any "automatic additional insured" provision of, or endorsement
to, Tenant's insurance policies; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed
by Tenant under this Lease, including Tenant's obligations under SECTION 10.1 of
this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less
than A:X in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord
and licensed to do business in the State in which the Project is located; (iv)
be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance
carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance
requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to
Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage
changed unless thirty (30) days' prior Notice shall have been given to Landlord
and any mortgagee of Landlord. Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or
certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date and at least
ten (10) days before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall
fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate,
Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant,
and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after
delivery to Tenant of bills therefor, together with a fifteen percent (15%)
service charge.

         10.5 SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective
property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the
extent above provided, and, except with respect to any applicable deductible
amounts, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery
only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss
to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties
each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses
(except with respect to any applicable deductible amounts), and waive all rights
of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation
shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder. The parties
agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed
such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to
recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged
therefor.

<PAGE>

         10.6 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall carry and maintain
during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased
amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this
ARTICLE 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such
reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may
be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts
and types of insurance then being required by landlords of buildings comparable
to and in the vicinity of the Building.

                             DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
                             ----------------------

         11.1 REPAIR OF DAMAGE TO PREMISES BY LANDLORD. If, during the Term of
this Lease, the Premises or portions of the Building or Project necessary for
Tenant's reasonable use and occupancy of the Premises are damaged by fire or
other casualty covered by property damage insurance carried by either party,
Landlord shall take diligent steps to adjust the loss, secure a building permit,
and restore the Premises, Building, and Project as required, provided (a) such
repairs can, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, be substantially completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such repairs is issued by
the governing authority, (b) insurance proceeds are available to pay eighty
percent (80%) or more of the cost of restoration (taking into account any
changes in building codes and/or other additional requirements imposed by the
building department), (c) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project
or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall not require that
the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage
debt, or shall not terminate the ground lease, as the case may be, (d) the
damage does not occur during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and
(e) Tenant performs its obligations hereunder. Tenant understands and agrees
that the Premises, Building, and or Project may not be restored identically as
before, due to changes in building or zoning codes and/or Landlord's desire to
reconfigure the Building or Project. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of
any such damage or destruction and shall take reasonable steps to prevent
further damage and to secure the Premises, until Landlord has had a reasonable
time in which to assume such responsibilities. Within not more than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the damage or destruction, Landlord shall give written
Notice to Tenant (the "DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION NOTICE") of its intent to restore
the Premises, Building, and/or Project, or to terminate the Lease as a result of
the failure of one or more of the conditions set forth in (a)-(e) above, in
which case, Landlord's Damage or Destruction Notice shall also include a
termination date giving Tenant thirty (30) days to vacate the Premises. Landlord
may elect to restore the Premises, Building, and/or Project notwithstanding the
failure of any of the conditions set forth in clauses (a)-(e) above. The Damage
or Destruction Notice shall also, if Landlord is required to or elects to
restore, set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate of the time required for
restoration after issuance of any required building permit. This Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, but, provided no act of Tenant has impaired
Landlord's recovery under its rental interruption insurance, Tenant shall be
entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent to the extent Tenant's use of the
Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until
substantial completion of the restoration.

         11.2 LANDLORD'S WORK/TENANT'S WORK. Landlord, at its sole option, may
perform the entire work necessary to restore both the shell of the Building and
the Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements, or may require Tenant to
perform the construction necessary to restore the Tenant Improvements and
Original Improvements, if the same were constructed by Tenant and not by
Landlord and comprise a substantial portion of the improvements in the Premises.
Provided Landlord performs the entirety of the work, Tenant shall assign to
Landlord (or any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to
Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under SECTION 10.3 of this Lease. If
Tenant's insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover the costs of restoring the

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements in the Premises, Tenant shall
deposit the difference with Landlord prior to the commencement of construction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord elects to
restore and Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, or an
event of Default has occurred, Landlord may cease performing the restoration
work and Landlord's obligations under this Section 11 shall be forgiven until
such time as such Default is cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant
may reasonably reconfigure the Premises during restoration provided (a)
reconfiguration will not delay restoration and (b) Tenant's insurance proceeds
and/or separate contribution from Tenant will be sufficient to pay for the costs
of reconfiguration. Tenant understands and agrees that changes in building
codes/ADA may require reconfiguration of the Premises even where Tenant desires
to retain the existing configuration. If Landlord requires Tenant to restore the
Premises, rental abatement shall end on the date that Landlord reasonably
determines that Tenant, through diligent efforts, should have substantially
completed restoration. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business
inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of the
Premises, Building or Project as a result of any damage from fire or other
casualty.

         11.3 TENANT'S OPTION TO TERMINATE. Notwithstanding Landlord's
requirement or election to restore the Premises, Building, and/or Project
following any damage or destruction, Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease on ten (10) days Notice given to Landlord not more than twenty (20)
days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Damage or Destruction Notice, but only
if the Damage or Destruction Notice indicates that Landlord reasonably estimates
restoration will take more than one hundred eighty (180) days after issuance of
any required building permit. In the event Tenant so terminates this Lease,
Tenant shall be entitled to retain that portion of its insurance proceeds
applicable to the amortized portion of Landlord's contribution (if any) to the
costs of the Tenant Improvements, but Tenant shall assign to Landlord that
portion of its insurance proceeds applicable to the Original Improvements and to
the unamortized portion of Landlord's contribution (if any) to the costs of the
Tenant Improvements.

         11.4 WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Lease,
including this ARTICLE 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and
Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part
of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of
the State of California, including Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the
California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning
damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the
parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall
have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any
part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

         No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party
hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either
party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of 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 Rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be
deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying
such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the

                                      -24-

termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or
of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any Notice
shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any Notice given
Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the
service of Notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for
possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and
the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said Notice, suit or
judgment.

                                  ------------

         If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be
taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any
public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street
shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in
such manner as to require the surrender, reconstruction or remodeling of any
part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or
other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation,
Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date
possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken,
or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a
period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option
to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be
surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord
or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall
be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that
Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for
any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and
removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of
this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the
award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or
Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All
Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the
Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent
shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it
might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of
Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
ARTICLE 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the
Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this
Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be
abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount
of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square
feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award
made in connection with any such temporary taking.

         14.1 TRANSFERS. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which is subject to Landlord's reasonable review and consideration as
to assignments and subleases only, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate,
encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or
any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease
or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part
thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit
the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other
than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "TRANSFERS" and any person to
whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred
to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer,
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which Notice (the "TRANSFER NOTICE")
shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not
be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion
of the Premises to be transferred (the "SUBJECT SPACE") which must be separately
demisable if not the entirety of the Premises or the entirety of an existing
separately demised suite, (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and
the consideration therefor, including calculation of the "Transfer Premium", as
that term is defined in SECTION 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer,
the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing
executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer,
including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such
Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that
Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord's standard
Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of such Transfer, (iv)
current financial statements of the proposed Transferee (and financial
statements for such Transferee's prior two (2) fiscal years) and any proposed
guarantor certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and
personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other
information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to
determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the
proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of
the Subject Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT E. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior
written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and
shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease.
Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay
Landlord's review and processing fees in the amount of $1,500.00, as well as any
reasonable professional fees (including property manager's, attorneys',
accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees) incurred by
Landlord upon the earlier to occur of Landlord's consent, or within thirty (30)
days after written request by Landlord.

         14.2 LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Landlord shall not unreasonably condition,
withhold or delay its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease of the
Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice.
Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for conditioning, withholding
or delaying consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under
this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to condition, delay, or
withhold consent (as reasonably required, in Landlord's good faith estimation)
to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

                  14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or
engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building
or the Project;

                  14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for
purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

                  14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or
instrumentality thereof or a nonprofit organization;

                  14.2.4 The rent charged by Tenant to such Transferee during
the term of such Transfer, calculated using a present value analysis, is less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the rent being quoted by Landlord at the time
of such Transfer for comparable space in the Project for a comparable term,
calculated using a present value analysis;

                  14.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial
worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be
undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;

                  14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of
another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project
a right to cancel its lease; or

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

                  14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity
which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the
time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord or has
negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding
the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice, to lease space in the Project.

         If Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease pursuant to the
terms of this SECTION 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord
may have under SECTION 14.4 of this Lease) or to any other Transfer, Tenant may
within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the
expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or
portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set
forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to SECTION
14.1 of this Lease and subject to any additional reasonable conditions imposed
by Landlord, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions
from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would
initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this
SECTION 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more
favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original
Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its
approval and other action under this ARTICLE 14 (including Landlord's right of
recapture, if any, under SECTION 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that
Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under SECTION 14.2 or
otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this ARTICLE 14, their sole
remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to,
or interference with, Tenant's business including loss of profits, however
occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and
Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including any right at law or equity to
terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all
applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

         14.3 TRANSFER PREMIUM. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a
condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord seventy-five percent (75%) of any "Transfer Premium," as that term
is defined in this SECTION 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee.
"TRANSFER PREMIUM" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration
payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent
and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the
Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is
transferred. "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key
money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in
connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value
for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures,
inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in
connection with such Transfer. The determination of the amount of Landlord's
applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as
rent or other consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer.

         14.4 LANDLORD'S OPTION AS TO SUBJECT SPACE. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this ARTICLE 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a
Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice
(the "INTENTION TO TRANSFER NOTICE") of such contemplated Transfer (whether or
not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have
been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of
and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to
Transfer (the "CONTEMPLATED TRANSFER SPACE"), the contemplated date of
commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the "CONTEMPLATED EFFECTIVE DATE"),
and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall
specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant
to this SECTION 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the
Contemplated Transfer Space. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by
giving Notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention
to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer
Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by
Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire
Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number
of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of
rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended
shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either
party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord
declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated
Transfer Space under this SECTION 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this
ARTICLE 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the "NINE MONTH PERIOD") commencing
on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any
right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer
made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is
substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and
provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms
of this ARTICLE 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine
Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of
the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within
such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new
Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer,
as provided above in this SECTION 14.4.

         14.5 EFFECT OF TRANSFER. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the
terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived
or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further
Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee (each of whom shall be required to
comply with the terms of this Article 14), (iii) Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all
documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord's request a complete
statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's
chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer
Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer or a statement
that there is no Transfer Premium, (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or
agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's
consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability
under this Lease, including in connection with the Subject Space, and (vi) the
Transferee shall fully assume this Lease. Landlord or its authorized
representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books,
records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right
to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be
found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the
deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay
Landlord's costs of such audit. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume
in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or
observed under this Lease. If Tenant's obligations hereunder have been
guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the
guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

         14.6 ADDITIONAL TRANSFERS. For purposes of this Lease, the term
"TRANSFER" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or
change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or
more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership
interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the
partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a
closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded
through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other
transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of
Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death),
within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or
pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the
unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

         14.7 OCCURRENCE OF DEFAULT. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate
and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be
terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to:
(i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any
lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee, if not an assignee, attorn
to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant
shall be in Default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized,
as Tenant's agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all
payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which
Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such
Default is cured, but acceptance of any such payments shall not (A) give rise to
any fiduciary responsibility to Tenant on the part of Landlord, or (B) create
any privity of estate or contract between Landlord and the Transferee that does
not already exist. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord
that Tenant is in Default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof
by Tenant. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee
shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of
any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease,
whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord's
enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a
waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or
any other person.

         14.8 NON-TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this ARTICLE 14, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the
Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls,
or is under common control with, Tenant), shall not be deemed a Transfer under
this ARTICLE 14, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment
or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information
requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate,
and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by
Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. "CONTROL," as used in this
SECTION 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least
fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right
to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent
(51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.

                            -------------------------

         15.1 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. No act or thing done by Landlord or any
agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to
constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such
intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by an officer of
Landlord or, but only for regular expiration on the Expiration Date, by
Landlord's property manager. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or
any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the
Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are
thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall
be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until
this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender
of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual
termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall
operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting
the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

         15.2 REMOVAL OF TENANT PROPERTY BY TENANT. Upon the expiration of the
Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject
to the provisions of this ARTICLE 15, quit and surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took
possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord
hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without
expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris
and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade
fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of
personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its
expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming
under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed,
and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and
Building resulting from such removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Lease, all safes and raised computer flooring, together with any
inter-floor stairs installed by or for Tenant, shall be removed and any
resulting damage repaired, unless Landlord consents or directs otherwise within
ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date.

                                  ------------

         If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier
termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord,
such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a
renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall
be payable at a monthly rate equal to twice the Rent applicable during the last
rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy
shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement
contained herein other than any option to renew or extend. Nothing contained in
this ARTICLE 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by
Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the
expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this ARTICLE 16
shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or
remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the
Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any
other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including any claims
made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any
lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

         Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by
Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel
certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form
of EXHIBIT E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any
prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof),
indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall
also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or
Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be
relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of
the Project, but shall not modify or amend this Lease as between Landlord and
Tenant nor derogate the rights of any mortgagee or purchaser. Tenant shall
execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for
such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such
estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the
Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the
estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

                                  -------------

         This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future
ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any
mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the
Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals,
extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all
advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or
trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other
encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases,
require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and
agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such
mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to
attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or
purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in
lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such
purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or
lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such
lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and
not disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and
observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be
observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as
security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business
days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as
Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination
or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases
or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future
statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or
election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding
or sale whether or not Tenant is included in such proceeding or sale.

         19.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default ("Default") of this Lease by Tenant:

                  19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other
charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due
unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after Notice from
Landlord by wire transfer, ACH credit, or presentation of a cashier's check
drawn on a federally insured bank; or

                  19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set
forth for Tenant's performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to
perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a Default by Tenant under
this SECTION 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform, or any breach
of, any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Tenant where such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after
Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such
default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a fifteen (15)
day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default if it diligently
commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to
rectify and cure such Default, but in no event exceeding a period of time in
excess of forty-five (45) days after initial Notice thereof from Landlord to
Tenant; or

                  19.1.3   Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; or

                  19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according
to the provisions of ARTICLES 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure
continues for more than five (5) business days after Notice from Landlord; or

                  19.1.5 Tenant's failure to accept delivery of the Premises
when tendered by Landlord provided the Premises are in substantial conformity
with the conditions set forth in this Lease.

         The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition
to, any notice periods provided by law, except that if a longer notice period is
provided by law, Tenant shall have the benefit of such longer period.

         19.2 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any event of Default
by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to
Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate
and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies,
each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice
or demand whatsoever.

                  19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for
possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises
and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the
Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim
or damages therefor provided Landlord shall act in conformity with controlling
law; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

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

                           (ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by
         which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination
         until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
         Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

                           (iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by
         which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time
         of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves
         could have been reasonably avoided; plus

                           (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate
         Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure
         to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
         course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including
         brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of
         remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant,

         made to obtain a new tenant; and

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

         The term "RENT" as used in this SECTION 19.2 shall be deemed to be and
to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in SECTIONS
19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
allowing interest at the rate set forth in ARTICLE 25 of this Lease, but in no
case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used
in SECTION 19.2.1(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

                  19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California
Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly,
if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Default by
Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce
all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
all rent as it becomes due.

                  19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and
remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in
addition to those rights and remedies available under SECTIONS 19.2.1 and
19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior
demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory,
injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or
restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

         19.3 SUBLEASES OF TENANT. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate
this Lease on account of any Default by Tenant, as set forth in this ARTICLE 19,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate or renegotiate any and all subleases,
licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered
into by Tenant and affecting the Premises which were not consented to in writing
by Landlord, or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest
in any subleases (consented to or not by Landlord), licenses, concessions or
arrangements upon the continuance of an event of monetary Default and prior to
Landlord successfully obtaining a judgment in an unlawful detainer action
against Tenant. In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's
interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant
shall, as of the date of Notice by Landlord of such election, have no further
right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

         19.4 EFFORTS TO RELET. No re-entry or repossession, repairs,
maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a
receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or
omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate
this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the
Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any
of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express Notice of such intention is
sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise
available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements
herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed,
shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly occupy the Premises subject
to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without

through Landlord, other than arising under ARTICLE 18 hereof. The foregoing
covenant is in lieu of any other covenant of quiet title and/or quiet enjoyment,
express or implied.

                                ----------------

         Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord a security deposit (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT") in the amount
set forth in SECTION 8 of the Summary, as security for the faithful performance
by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant Defaults with
respect to any provisions of this Lease, including the provisions relating to
the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage,
Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to, apply all
or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum
then owing and unpaid and Tenant shall, upon demand therefor, restore the
Security Deposit to its original amount. Any unapplied portion of the Security
Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord's option, to the last
assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the
expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on
the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of
the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other provisions of
law, now or hereafter in effect, which (i) establish the time frame by which a
landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that
a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably
necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by
a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in
addition, claim those sums specified in this Section above and/or those sums
reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by
Tenant's default of the Lease, as amended hereby, including all damages or rent
due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California
Civil Code. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with its other funds and
has no fiduciary duty with respect thereto, the only relationship created being
that of debtor and creditor.

         Landlord shall have the right to move Tenant to other space in the
Building or any future office buildings constructed adjacent to the Building
which is reasonably comparable to the Premises in terms of square footage,
window line, number of offices, and other general configuration, and all terms
hereof shall apply to the new space with equal force; provided that Tenant's
then existing monetary obligations under this Lease shall not be increased as a
result of such relocation of the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall give
Tenant prior Notice of not less than ninety (90) days, shall provide Tenant, at
Landlord's sole cost and expense, with tenant improvements at least equal in
quality to those in the Premises and shall move Tenant's effects to the new
space at Landlord's sole cost and expense at such time and in such manner as to
inconvenience Tenant as little as reasonably practicable. In addition, Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with such relocation (e.g., the costs of IT
workers to relocate (but not upgrade) Tenant's IT system and cabling; the costs
of moving telephone service (exclusive of new or extra equipment); and the costs
of reasonable supplies of replacement stationery), within thirty (30) days of
Landlord's receipt of paid invoices therefor and supporting documentation.
Simultaneously with such relocation of the Premises, the parties shall
immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the relocation of the
Premises.

posts its financial statements on its webpage, Landlord may require Tenant to

the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

         If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not
be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) business days
after its due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten
percent (10%) of the overdue amount plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when
due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to
require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies
hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as
limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge
described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid
within ten (10) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the
date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the
annual "BANK PRIME LOAN" rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
Publication H.15 (519), published on Monday of each calendar week, or the
then-current equivalent of such publication (or such other comparable index as
Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be
published) plus two (2) percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted
by applicable law.

performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's
sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent,
if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any
obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the

otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part without waiving
its rights based upon any Default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from
any obligations hereunder.

         26.2 TENANT'S REIMBURSEMENT. Except as may be specifically provided to
the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon delivery by
Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures
reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with the
remedying by Landlord of Tenant's Defaults pursuant to the provisions of SECTION

attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any
rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including all reasonable
legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this

         Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable
Notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to
(i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, to current
or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers and, during
the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii)
post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises
or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the
Building or the Building's systems and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this ARTICLE 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at
any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial
service; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in any lawful
manner; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform.
Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required
to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages
or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business,
lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any
other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at
all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises,
excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and reasonably sized and located special
security areas designated in advance by Tenant and approved by Landlord. In an
emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem
proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by
Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a
forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or
constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision
of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed

time. Tenant may surrender spaces on not less than thirty (30) days prior Notice

at which time Tenant's right to re-rent such space shall expire. The location of
the reserved parking spaces, if any, shall be designated by Landlord. Tenant
shall pay monthly fees for all parking spaces rented by Tenant, on a monthly
basis together with Base Rent, at the prevailing rate charged from time to time.
In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for any increases in taxes imposed by
any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking spaces
by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant regardless of whether
Landlord charges Tenant for such parking separately or at all. Tenant's
continued right to use the parking spaces is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by
all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly
operation and use of the parking facility where the parking spaces are located
(including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord
and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance activities in the
Project's parking facilities), Tenant's cooperation in seeing that Tenant's
employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations and Tenant
not being in Default under this Lease. Neither Tenant nor its employees shall
park automobiles in the Project parking facility overnight. All vehicles parked
in the Project parking facility must be properly licensed in accordance with the
laws of the State in which the Project is located and in operable condition. No
oversized vehicles, commercial vehicles or vehicles which would damage the
surface of the Project parking facility, shall be permitted to use the Project
parking facility. Tenant's use of the Project parking facility shall be at
Tenant's sole risk and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have
no liability whatsoever for damage to the vehicles of Tenant, its employees
and/or visitors, or for other personal injury or property damage or theft
relating to or connected with the parking rights granted herein or any of
Tenant's, its employees' and/or visitors' use of the parking facilities.
Tenant's rights hereunder are subject to the terms of any Underlying Documents.
Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration,
design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking facility at any time
and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any
liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from
time to time, close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facility for
purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or
improvements. Landlord may issue a total number of unreserved spaces for the
Project parking facility based on past usage patterns rather than limiting
spaces to the number of spaces. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities
hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have
all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord and, at Landlord's
sole discretion, the monthly fees for parking spaces may be billed by and paid
to the parking operator. The parking spaces rented by Tenant pursuant to this
ARTICLE 28 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant's own personnel and
such spaces may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated
by Tenant without Landlord's prior approval. Tenant may validate visitor parking
by such method or methods as the Landlord may establish, at the validation rate
from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking. Landlord may cancel
parking spaces which remain unused for ninety (90) days or more.

Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

or ground lessor for the Building or Project require a modification of this
Lease, which modification will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant
or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations
of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may
be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are reasonably required
therefor and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days
following a request therefor provided such undertaking shall be at Landlord's
sole cost and expense. At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or ground
lessor, Tenant agrees to execute a short form of Lease and deliver the same to
Landlord within ten (10) business days following the request therefor provided
such undertaking, and any legal costs associated therewith and actually incurred
by Landlord are at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

         29.5 TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord
has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or
Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such
transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this
Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of
Landlord's obligations hereunder after the date of transfer and such transferee
shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of this
Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the return of any Security Deposit,
and Tenant shall attorn to such transferee.

         29.6 PROHIBITION AGAINST RECORDING. Except as provided in SECTION 29.4

payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant's
designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in
such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

         29.10 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a
factor.

         29.11 PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any term, provision or condition contained
in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to
persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term,
provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent possible permitted by law.

         29.12 NO WARRANTY. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has
not relied on any representations, including any representation as to the amount
of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in
the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants,
at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement
of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits
attached hereto.

         29.13 LANDLORD EXCULPATION. The liability of Landlord or the Landlord
Parties to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in
connection herewith or with Landlord's operation, management, leasing, repair,
renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the
Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to Landlord's right, title and
interest in the Building and rents therefrom and no other property of Landlord .
Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal
liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such
personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or
under Tenant. The limitations of liability contained in this SECTION 29.13 shall
inure to the benefit of Landlord's and the Landlord Parties' present and future
partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and
employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under
no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is
a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of
Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord's
obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein,
neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any
circumstances for injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant's business,
including loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business
opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however occurring.

         29.14 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. It is understood and acknowledged that there
are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this
Lease constitutes the parties' entire agreement with respect to the leasing of
the Premises and supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations,
arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the
parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject
matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this
Lease. None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can
be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.

         29.15 RIGHT TO LEASE. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect
such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole
business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building
or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that
any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term,
occupy any space in the Building or Project.

         29.16 FORCE MAJEURE. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes,
lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to
obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor,
governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes
beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with
respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a "FORCE MAJEURE"),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse
the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay
or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for
performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended
by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force
Majeure.

<PAGE>

SHALL NOT INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE OR DESCRIPTION (UNLESS SUCH
COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE MANDATORY) IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION, BUT SHALL BE
RELEGATED TO AN INDEPENDENT ACTION AT LAW. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND
UNDERSTAND THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER MAY NOT BE CURRENTLY ENFORCEABLE, BUT

that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate,
improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "RENOVATIONS") the Project, the
Building and/or the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations shall
in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any

to Tenant for any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from
the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages
from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of
Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations, or
for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations.

         29.30 NO VIOLATION. Tenant hereby warrants and represents that neither

which Tenant is bound, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising from
Tenant's breach of this warranty and representation.

ARTICLES 7 and 8 of this Lease, (ii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and
space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants
of the Project, as determined in Landlord's reasonable opinion, (iii) the Lines
therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent
excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, shall be surrounded by a
protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and shall be identified in
accordance with the "Identification Requirements," as that term is set forth
hereinbelow, (iv) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply
with all applicable governmental laws and regulations, (v) as a condition to
permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant

connection therewith. All Lines shall be clearly marked with adhesive plastic
labels using long-life adhesive (or plastic tags attached to such Lines with
wire) to show Tenant's name, suite number, telephone number and the name of the
person to contact in the case of an emergency (A) every four feet (4') outside
the Premises (specifically including the electrical room risers and other Common
Areas), and (B) at the Lines' termination point(s) (collectively, the
"IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, unless otherwise instructed by Landlord (by Notice to
Tenant), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, remove any Lines located in or
serving the Premises (and repair any resulting damage).

transportation-related committees or entities. Such programs may include,
without limitation: (i) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips
generated by Tenant; (ii) increased vehicle occupancy; (iii) implementation of
an in-house ridesharing program and an employee transportation coordinator; (iv)

provide (i) for reciprocal rights of access and/or use of the Project and the

or any portion of the Project or any other of Landlord's rights described in
this Lease.

                  29.33.3 CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant
acknowledges that portions of the Project and/or the Other Improvements may be
subject to demolition or construction following Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises, and that such construction may result in levels of noise, dust,
obstruction of access, etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully
constructed project. Tenant hereby waives any and all rent offsets or claims of
constructive eviction which may arise in connection with such demolition or
construction.

                         DATED AS OF: September 16, 2009

30.  RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER (ONE-TIME) ON CONTIGUOUS SPACE.
     ----------------------------------------------------

Section 30 adds to and amends this Lease as follows:

Tenant shall have the following right of first offer (the "ROFO") to lease
either adjacent suite (Suite 250 and/or Suite 265) (each such suite, a "ROFO
Space") at the time that either ROFO Space is ready for listing:

(a)  "Ready for listing" means the existing tenant has elected to not renew or
     extend its lease or the existing tenant's lease has been terminated early
     (however, Landlord shall not be precluded from extending or renewing an
     existing tenant whether or not such tenant has an option to extend or
     renew), that the ROFO Space is not subject to a pre-existing expansion
     right existing in another tenant (unless such right is waived or expires),
     and that Landlord has listed or intends to list, within not later than one
     (1) month, the ROFO Space on any listing service or has given or intends to
     give, within not later than one (1) month, the ROFO Space to Landlord's
     broker to lease. Any ROFO Space vacant as of the date of this Lease shall
     not be considered ROFO Space, unless such space is first leased to a third
     party and then subsequently becomes available.

(b)  Tenant can decline or fail to lease one of the ROFO Spaces and will still
     be offered the other one, but will not be re-offered a ROFO Space once such
     ROFO Space has been offered to, but not leased by, Tenant.

(c)  Landlord shall endeavor to give Notice to Tenant (the "ROFO Notice") not
     later than five (5) business days after any ROFO Space is ready for
     listing, but may give the ROFO Notice up to one (1) month prior to it being
     ready for listing.

(d)  The ROFO Notice shall specify Landlord's proposed terms of lease for the
     ROFO Space under consideration, based on expansions for similar class A
     buildings in the submarket (UTC) in which the Premises are located, which
     may be different from those governing Tenant's lease of its existing
     Premises.

(e)  Landlord is not required to offer the ROFO Space to Tenant if Tenant is in
     arrears of Rent at the time the ROFO Notice would otherwise be given, or if
     this Lease has expired or been terminated. If a ROFO Notice has already
     been given, this right of first offer may not be exercised while Tenant is
     in arrears of Rent or if this Lease expires or is terminated.

(f)  Tenant may accept, within not more than five (5) days of receipt of the
     ROFO Notice, the business terms specified in Landlord's ROFO Notice, based
     on expansions for similar class A buildings in the submarket in which the
     Premises are located, in which case the parties shall execute an amendment
     to this Lease on Landlord's standard form to add the ROFO Space to the
     Premises on the agreed terms. If Tenant rejects Landlord's offer or fails
     to respond within the time specified herein, Landlord may freely lease the
     ROFO Space which was offered to Tenant and the ROFO expires as to such
     space.

(g)  Neither party to this Lease shall have the right to have a court or other
     third party set the rent or any other terms, covenants, or conditions of
     the lease of the ROFO Space.

(h)  This ROFO is granted to the Tenant originally named in this Lease and to no
     other, and is personal as to such entity and shall not be exercised or
     assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to anyone or any other entity
     other than by an assignee of an assignment for which Landlord's consent was
     not required, if any assignees are in such class. Any other assignment of
     either this right of first offer without Landlord's prior written consent
     shall be null and void and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a
     default under the Lease.

31.  SINGLE OPTION TO EXTEND FOR THREE YEARS.
     ----------------------------------------

Section 31 adds to and amends this Lease as follows:

                                      -45-

<PAGE>

Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the following single option to extend the Term
of this Lease (herein, the "Option to Extend") for one (1) additional three (3)
year period on the following terms, covenants, and conditions:

(a)  This Option to Extend is for single three (3) year period (the "Extended
     Term") beyond the Expiration Date for the initial Term of this Lease, and
     shall be on the same terms, covenants, and conditions set forth in this
     Lease except for Base Rent, which shall be revised as set forth below, and
     except that this Option to Extend, once exercised, may not be exercised
     again, and may not be exercised while Tenant is in default, if the Lease
     has expired or been terminated, or after the initial Lease Term.

(a)  Tenant must exercise this Option to Extend Term, if at all, by giving
     written Notice of exercise ("Option Exercise Notice") not more than twelve
     (12) and not less than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date for the
     initial Lease Term. If the Lease Term is hereafter extended by agreement of
     the parties and not by exercise of the applicable Option to Extend, the
     applicable and any remaining Option to Extend shall be of no further force
     or effect.

(b)  Base Rent at the commencement of an Extended Term shall be adjusted to fair
     market Base Rent, as of the commencement of such Extended Term, for
     renewals of comparable term and space in the Building or in similar class
     buildings in the submarket in which the Premises are located if there has
     not been recent renewal activity in the Building, but shall not be less
     than Base Rent in the last year of the then-current Term, with a 3%
     increase at the outset and annually thereafter.

(c)  The parties shall have fifteen (15) days after Landlord receives the Option
     Exercise Notice in which to agree on Base Rent, determined as set forth in
     the preceding Subsection, during the applicable Extended Term. If the
     parties agree on the Base Rent for the Extended Term during such fifteen
     (15) day period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease
     stating the new Base Rent.

(d)  If the parties are unable to agree on Base Rent for the Extended Term
     within such fifteen (15) day period, the Option Exercise Notice shall be of
     no effect and this Lease shall expire on the Expiration Date for the
     then-current Lease Term. Neither party to this Lease shall have the right
     to have a court or other third party set the Base Rent or force an
     extension of Term.

(b)  These Options to Extend are granted by Landlord to the Tenant originally
     named in this Lease and to no other, and are personal as to such entity and
     shall not be exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to
     anyone or any other entity, except to an assignee for which Landlord's
     consent to assignment is not required. Any other assignment of these
     Options to Extend without Landlord's prior written consent shall be null
     and void and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default under the
     Lease. Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease shall not also
     constitute consent to assignment of the Option to Extend unless to Extend
     is expressly included in Landlord's consent. An Option to Extend may in any
     case only be exercised by the then-current Tenant hereunder.

32.  ONE (1) SPORTING CLUB MEMBERSHIPS FOR ONE YEAR.

responsible for any additional costs associated with such memberships (E.G.,
lockers, towels, etc.) and for the cost of any upgrade over the executive level
membership. Such membership must start within not later than 90 days after the
Commencement Date.

3.   LEASE TERM
     3.1 COMMENCEMENT. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall commence
on the Commencement Date stated in Section 1.3 and shall continue for the period
stated in Section 1.4, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision of
this Lease.
     3.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.3 for any
reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor. Such
nondelivery shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of
Tenant hereunder. However: (a) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until
possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant, (b) if possession of the
Premises is not delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement
Date, the last day of the Lease Term shall be extended by the total number of
days that possession is so delayed, plus the minimum number of additional days
necessary to make the Expiration Date the last day of a calendar month, and (c)
if Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises within ninety (90) days
after the Commencement Date, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, in which
event the parties shall be discharged from all further obligations hereunder.
     3.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this
Lease except that Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of Minimum Monthly
Rent or Operating Costs during such early occupancy period. Such occupancy shall
not advance the Expiration Date.
4.   RENT
     4.1 MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT. Tenant shall pay minimum monthly rent ("Minimum
Monthly Rent") in the initial amount stated in Section 1.5. The Minimum Monthly
Rent shall be increased as set forth in Section 1.5 and/or elsewhere in this
Lease. Tenant shall pay the Minimum Monthly Rent on or before the first day of
each calendar month, in advance, at the office of Landlord or at such other
place designated by Landlord, without deduction, offset or prior demand. If the
Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the rent for the
partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated on a per diem
basis and shall be due on the first day of such partial month. Upon execution of
this Lease, and before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
aggregate of the first month's Minimum Monthly Rent, the first month's Monthly
Impound Payment (see Section 4.4), and the Security Deposit (see Section 5).
     4.2 LEASE YEAR. As used in this Lease, the term "Lease Year" means (i) the
first period of twelve (12) full calendar months following the Commencement Date
(including, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month,
the period between the Commencement Date and the next first day of the month),
(ii) each period of twelve (12) full calendar months thereafter, and (iii) any
remaining period at the end of the Lease Term of less than twelve (12) full
calendar months.
     4.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges payable by Tenant for Operating Costs
(Article 6), Maintenance and Repairs (Article 7), Real Property Taxes (Article
8), Insurance Costs (Article 9), and Utilities (Article 10) are hereinafter
referred to herein as "Additional Rent." All Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional
Rent, and all other charges and monetary amounts due Landlord from Tenant under
this Lease or otherwise shall constitute "rent." Unless this Lease provides
otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant, without limitation or
offset, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of a statement from
Landlord. If any Minimum Monthly Rent is abated or waived pursuant to another
specific term of this Lease or in any separate agreement, it is understood that
such abatement or waiver shall apply only to the Minimum Monthly Rent, and
Tenant shall be obligated to pay all Additional Rent and other charges
(including the applicable impounds thereof) during such periods of abatement or
waiver of Minimum Monthly Rent.
     4.4 IMPOUNDS. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
collect and impound, in advance, any or all components of Additional Rent based
upon Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's future liability for such
amounts under this Lease. Landlord shall initially establish the monthly amount
of such impound ("Monthly Impound Payments"), based upon its estimate of
one-twelfth of Tenant's annual liability therefor. Landlord shall have the right
at any time to adjust the amount of the Monthly Impound Payment upon notice to
Tenant. The Monthly Impound Payment shall be due and payable on the first day of
each month throughout the Lease Term. Any failure to pay the Monthly Impound
Payment when due shall be considered a failure to pay rent when due under
Section 21.1 and other relevant provisions of this Lease, and shall entitle
Landlord to exercise any or all of its remedies available in the same manner as
for the failure to pay rent. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by
Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to apply all unapplied amounts
of Monthly Impound Payments to Tenant's default. Within ninety (90) days after
the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an accounting of
Tenant's actual Share of Additional Rent and the estimated amounts previously
paid by Tenant. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited against next Monthly
Impound Payments due hereunder, or, if the Term has expired, shall be remitted
to Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount of any underpayment within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the accounting. Tenant acknowledges that the Monthly
Impound Payments are estimates only and not a representation of the amount of
Tenant's ultimate liability for Additional Rent.
     4.5 PAYMENT BY EFT OR ACH. At Landlord's election, and upon at least thirty
(30) days' notice to Tenant, Landlord may require that all payments of Minimum
Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts due hereunder be made in
immediately available funds or by wire transfer by electronic fund transfer
through the Automated Clearing House network or any similar system designated by
Landlord ("ACH"). Such payments shall be initiated by Tenant or Landlord, at
Landlord's election, to an account designated from time to time by Landlord at
an ACH member bank for settlement not later than 12:00 o'clock noon, San Diego,
California time, on the dates such sums or payments are respectively due. Any
payment received after such time shall be deemed to have been made after the due
date.
5.   SECURITY DEPOSIT
     Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount
specified in Section 1.6 (the "Security Deposit"), to be held by Landlord,
without liability for interest, as security for Tenant's performance of its
obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the
Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Landlord may apply all or a
part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent (including unpaid Additional
Rent or Monthly Impound Payments) or other monetary payments due from Tenant or
to cure any other default of Tenant hereunder and to compensate Landlord for all
damage and expense sustained as a result of such default. If all or any portion
of the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall deposit cash sufficient to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of Landlord's written demand. If Tenant fully and faithfully
performs each of its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any
balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the later
of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the vacation of the
Premises by Tenant. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall accompany Landlord or
Landlord's representative on a "walk-through" of the Premises prior to
Landlord's return of the Security Deposit.
6.   OPERATING COSTS
     6.1 PAYMENT OF OPERATING COSTS BY TENANT. Tenant shall pay its Share of
Operating Costs to Landlord on a monthly or other periodic basis selected by
Landlord. Tenant shall pay the amount of such Share to Landlord, to the extent
such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded under Section 4.4, within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord.
     6.2 TENANT'S SHARE. Tenant's "Share" (sometimes referred to as "Pro Rata
Share") is the percentage or proportion of the various components of Additional
Rent and certain other charges for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease.
Tenant's Share for each such component shall be Tenant's Percentage as stated in
Section 1.7, unless Landlord determines that another percentage or proportion
would be equitable based on factors such as Tenant's use of such in excess of
its Percentage, such component of Additional Rent applies to some but not all of
the Center, or factors set forth elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant's Percentage
represents the approximate current ratio of the Rentable Square Footage of the
Premises (identified in Section 1.2) to the total Rentable Square Footage of the

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

Center, as determined by Landlord from time to time. Changes in Rentable Square
Footage shall be effective on the first day of the first calendar month
following the change.
     6.3 OPERATING COSTS. "Operating Costs" includes all costs of operating,
managing, repairing and maintaining the Common Facilities, including without
limitation: gardening and landscaping; the cost of public liability, property
damage and other insurance applicable to the Common Facilities, including any
deductibles thereunder; Real Property Taxes applicable to the Common Facilities;
utilities; line painting and parking lot repairs; roof repairs; lighting; trash
and refuse removal; supplies; equipment; exterior painting; capital improvements
(including without limitation the costs of roof, parking lot and underground
utilities replacements); reasonable reserves for imminent repairs and
replacements; the costs of altering, improving, renovating, upgrading or
retrofitting any portion of the Common Facilities to comply with all laws,
regulations and governmental requirements applicable to the Center (including
without limitation those related to disabled persons, hazardous materials,
lighting upgrades, sprinkler and energy-saving retrofits); security service;
property management costs and administrative fees; bookkeeping services; labor;
and the cost of personnel to implement such services and to direct parking. In
lieu of including the entire amount of any such expense in Operating Costs in
any one period, Landlord, at its election, may spread the inclusion of, or may
amortize, any such expenses, or a reasonable reserve for anticipated expenses,
in Operating Costs over such multiple periods as Landlord shall determine.
     6.4 COMMON FACILITIES. Common Facilities" (sometimes referred to herein as
"Common Areas") means all areas, facilities, utilities, equipment and services
provided by Landlord for the common use or benefit of the occupants of the
Center and their employees, agents, customers and other invitees, including
without limitation, if the same exist: building lobbies, common corridors and
hallways, restrooms, pedestrian walkways, driveways and access roads, access
facilities for disabled persons (including elevators), truck serviceways,
loading docks, garages, driveways, parking lots, landscaped areas, stairways,
elevators, retaining walls, all areas required to be maintained under the
conditions of governmental approvals for the Center, and other generally
understood public or common areas. All Common Facilities shall at all times be
subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord. Landlord reserves
the right to relocate, alter, improve, or adjust the size and location of any
Common Facilities from time to time without liability to Tenant. Landlord shall
have the right from time to time to establish, modify and enforce reasonable
rules and regulations with respect to the Common Facilities. Landlord shall have
the right to construct, maintain and operate lighting facilities on the Common
Facilities; to police the same; from time to time to change the area, level,
location and arrangement of parking areas and other facilities; to restrict
parking by tenants, their officers, agents and employees to employee parking
areas; to close all or any portion of the Common Facilities to such extent; to
close temporarily all or any portion of the Common Facilities for any reason,
including for the purpose of preventing a dedication thereof or the accrual of
any rights to any person or the public therein; and to do and perform such other
acts in and to the Common Facilities which Landlord shall determine, using good
business judgment, to be advisable to improve the convenience and use thereof by
tenants, their officers, agents, employees and customers. Subject to the
foregoing, all Common Facilities not within the Premises, which Tenant may use
under a revocable license, on a nonexclusive basis in common with other tenants,
and if any such license is revoked, or if the amount of such areas is
diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability and Tenant shall not
be entitled to any compensation or abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation
or diminution be deemed constructive or actual eviction.
7.   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
     7.1 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Except as provided in Section 7.2, Tenant, at its
sole cost, shall keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair during
the Lease Term, including without limitation: all nonstructural, interior and
exterior areas; landscaped areas not part of the Common Facilities; all heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems and equipment; all glass, glazing,
windows, window moldings, partitions, doors and door hardware; all interior
painting; all fixtures and appurtenances in the Premises or exclusively serving
the Premises including electrical, lighting and plumbing fixtures; and all other
portions of the Premises seen or unseen. If any portion or element of the
Premises, or the other systems or equipment for which Tenant is responsible
hereunder cannot be fully repaired, Tenant shall promptly replace the same at
its sole cost and expense regardless of whether the benefit of such replacement
extends beyond the Lease Term. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that
Tenant shall maintain the Premises, at all times during the Lease Term, in an
attractive, first-class and fully operative condition, at Tenant's expense. If
any heating and air conditioning system or equipment exclusively serves the
Premises, Tenant shall additionally obtain and keep in force a preventive
maintenance contract providing for the regular (at least quarterly) inspection
and maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system (including leaks
around ducts, pipes, vents, and other parts of the air conditioning) by a
reputable licensed heating and air conditioning contractor acceptable to
Landlord. Prior to April 1 of each calendar year, Tenant shall deliver Landlord
written confirmation from such contractor verifying that such a contract has
been entered into and that the required service will be provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right, upon written
notice to Tenant, to undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance and
repair of the heating and air conditioning system, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense.
     7.2 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall repair and maintain the Common
Facilities, the roof, the foundations and structural portions of the Premises
and the Building. Tenant shall pay (a) its Share of the costs of such
maintenance, (b) the full amount of any maintenance and repairs necessitated by
any act, omission, conduct or activity of, or breach of this Lease by, Tenant or
any of Tenant's officers, agents, customers or invitees (plus fifteen percent
(15%) of the cost thereof to reimburse Landlord for overhead); and (c) any
maintenance and repairs necessitated by breaking and entering of the Premises.
Tenant shall pay its Share of such maintenance and repair costs incurred by
Landlord, to the extent such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded
under Section 4.4, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from
Landlord. There shall be no abatement of rent, and no liability of Landlord, by
reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the
making of any repairs, alterations, or improvements to any portion of the
Premises or the Center. Tenant expressly waives all rights to make repairs at
the expense of Landlord or deduct any amounts from rent as provided in any
statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect, including its rights under the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942. Landlord's
obligations under this Section are not intended to alter or modify in any way
the provisions of Article 12.
     7.3 PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD. If Tenant refuses or neglects to perform its
maintenance obligations hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon three (3) days'
prior notice to Tenant, to enter the Premises and perform such repairs and
maintenance on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall also have the right (but not the
obligation), without prior notice to Tenant, to correct or remove any dangerous
or hazardous condition, to repair the heating, ventilation, air conditioning or
plumbing systems, to correct, repair or bring into legal compliance any fire or
other life safety systems of the Premises, and to repair or replace any broken
glass or glazing, if Tenant fails to correct or repair the same within
twenty-four (24) hours after the need arises. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage to Tenant's merchandise, fixtures, or other
property or to Tenant's business in connection with Landlord's performance
hereunder, and Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs plus fifteen percent (15%) of
such amount for overhead, upon presentation of a statement therefor. Tenant
shall also pay interest at the rate provided in Section 22.4 from the date of
completion of repairs by Landlord to the date paid by Tenant.
8.   REAL PROPERTY TAXES
     8.1 PAYMENT OF REAL PROPERTY TAXES BY TENANT. Tenant shall pay all Real
Property Taxes applicable to the Premises during the Lease Term. If the Premises
are not separately assessed, Tenant shall pay its Share thereof as equitably
determined by Landlord based upon the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises
compared to the total Rentable Square Footage covered by the tax bill, the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's worksheet, and/or or other
relevant factors. Tenant shall pay its Share of Real Property Taxes to Landlord,
to the extent such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded under Section
4.4, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord.
     8.2 REAL PROPERTY TAXES DEFINED. "Real Property Taxes" means all taxes,
assessments, levies, fees and other governmental charges levied on or
attributable to the Premises or any part thereof, including without limitation:

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

(a) real property taxes and assessments levied with respect to all or a portion
of the Premises, (b) assessments, charges and fees charged by governmental
agencies or districts for services or facilities provided to the Premises, (c)
transfer, transaction, rental, gross receipts, license or similar taxes or
charges measured by rent received by Landlord, excluding any federal or state
income, franchise, estate or inheritance taxes of Landlord, (d) taxes based upon
a reassessment of the Premises due to a transfer or change of ownership, and (e)
any assessment, charge or fee that is a substitute in whole or in part for any
tax now or previously included within the definition of Real Property Taxes. If
Landlord elects to contest an assessment of any Real Property Taxes, Landlord
shall have the right to recover its actual costs of such contest (including
attorneys' fees and costs) as part of Real Property Taxes, but only to the
extent such contest has resulted in a reduction of Real Property Taxes. Tenant
shall not be entitled to the benefit of any reduction, refund, rebate or credit
accruing or payable to Landlord prior to the commencement of or after the
expiration or other termination of the Lease Term.

     8.3 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other
personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall attempt to have such
personal property taxed separately from the Premises. If any such taxes on
Tenant's personal property are levied against Landlord or the Premises, or if
the assessed value of the Premises is increased by inclusion of a value placed
upon such personal property of Tenant, then: (a) Landlord, after written notice
to Tenant, shall have the right to pay the taxes levied against Landlord, or the
taxes based upon such increased valuation, but under protest if so requested by
Tenant in writing, and (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes levied against
Landlord, or the taxes resulting from such increased valuation, within fifteen
(15) days after Tenant's receipt of a written statement from Landlord.
9.   INSURANCE
     9.1 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain
insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises (excluding Tenant's
Alterations, fixtures, equipment and personal property), insuring against any or
all risks of physical loss (and including, at Landlord's option, flood and
earthquake coverage), with the scope and amounts of such coverage as determined
by Landlord. Said insurance shall provide for payment of loss thereunder to
Landlord or to the holder of a first mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises.
Landlord may also maintain during the Lease Term, as part of its casualty
insurance, a policy of rental income insurance covering a period of one (1)
year, with loss payable to Landlord. Landlord may also maintain (but shall not
be required to maintain) liability and other insurance (including environmental
insurance) as Landlord, at its sole option, may elect to maintain.
     9.2 TENANT'S INSURANCE.
          (a) Tenant shall carry, at Tenant's sole expense, insurance against
any or all risks of physical loss in an amount adequate to cover the cost of
replacement of all of Tenant's Alterations, trade fixtures, equipment and
personal property. If Tenant's insurance does not otherwise cover losses caused
by breakage or other malfunction of any of Tenant's machinery or equipment used
by Tenant in the Premises, then Tenant shall carry equipment breakdown insurance
(so called boiler and machinery insurance) covering Tenant's equipment and
machinery (including any heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems,
electrical equipment, and the like). Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's
insurance is not intended to cover Tenant's Alterations, trade fixtures,
equipment, and personal property. If the Premises contains any plate glass,
Tenant shall carry plate-glass insurance covering all plate glass on the
Premises at full replacement cost. Any policy proceeds shall be used for the
repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease
shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Article 16, whereupon any
insurance proceeds covering any of Tenant's Alterations, fixtures, equipment and
personal property that Tenant is required to leave in the Premises at the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term under Article 20 shall be
payable to Landlord. Provided, however, that at Landlord's sole election,
Landlord may obtain at Tenant's expense any or all of the insurance described in
this Section.
          (b) Tenant shall carry, at Tenant's sole expense, comprehensive or
commercial general liability insurance, fully covering any and all claims
arising from personal injury, death, and/or property damage occurring in or
about the Premises or the Center. Such liability insurance shall include without
limitation bodily injury (including wrongful death), property damage,
advertising injury, personal injury and contractual liability coverages
(including Tenant's indemnification obligations under Article 13), independent
contractors, owned, nonowned, and hired vehicle liability and, if alcoholic
beverages are served, sold, consumed or obtained in the Premises, liquor-law
liability. The initial limit of such insurance shall be at least $2,000,000
combined single liability limit if the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises
(as indicated in Section 1.2) exceeds 3,000 square feet, or $1,000,000 combined
single liability limit if such Rentable Square Footage is 3,000 square feet or
less. Such liability insurance limit shall be subject to periodic increase, at
Landlord's election, based upon inflation, increased liability awards, lender
requirements, the recommendations of Landlord's professional insurance advisors,
and other relevant factors. Tenant shall also, at its sole cost and expense,
obtain worker's compensation coverage in an amount adequate to comply with law,
and employer's liability coverage with a limit of not less than $2,000,000. If
Tenant's use of the Premises involves any use, generation, manufacturing,
storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, or if any of Tenant's activities
increases any risk of any liability to Tenant or Landlord under Hazardous
Materials Laws, Tenant shall carry such environmental insurance as may be
required by Landlord or Landlord's lender. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole
expense, maintain such other liability insurance as Tenant deems necessary to
protect Tenant.
          (c) Each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant
hereunder shall (i) name Landlord, Landlord's lender and Landlord's property
manager (if any) as additional insureds, (ii) contain cross-liability and
contractual liability provisions, (ii) provide that no cancellation or reduction
in coverage shall be effective until thirty (30) days after written notice to
Landlord and Landlord's lender, (iii) be issued by an insurer licensed in
California and reasonably approved by Landlord, (iv) include coverage for acts
of terrorism, and (v) be primary and noncontributory to any insurance carried by
Landlord, regardless of the absence of negligence or other fault of Tenant for
alleged injury, death and/or property damage. The deductible or self-insured
retention on any insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall not
exceed, without the prior written consent of Landlord, Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) per occurrence. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of the full
amount of any deductible or self-insured retention on its insurance. No
insurance carried or required to be carried by Tenant, nor the amount or limits
thereof, shall limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any obligation
under this Lease.
          (d) Each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant
hereunder shall be obtained by Tenant and maintained in full force and effect
throughout the Lease Term and any other period of Tenant's actual or
constructive possession of the Premises. Prior to the Commencement Date or any
earlier taking of possession of any part of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord (i) an ACORD Form 27 certificate (or such other certificate
providing the greatest protection to Landlord reasonably available) evidencing
all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant and identifying all additional
insureds required to be so designated under the terms of this Lease, and (ii)
all additional insured endorsements provided by the insurer in favor of
Landlord, Landlord's property manager and Landlord's lender as required by this
Lease. Tenant shall deliver evidence of a renewal of each required policy,
together with all required endorsements, at least thirty (30) days prior to
expiration thereof. Tenant shall permit Landlord at all reasonable times to
inspect the policies of insurance, and shall deliver copies thereof to Landlord
within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor. Tenant shall be in
material breach of this Lease if Tenant fails to obtain the insurance required
under this Section, or if Tenant obtains insurance with terms, conditions and/or
exclusions that are inconsistent with the requirements and terms of this Lease.
     9.3 PAYMENT OF INSURANCE COSTS. Tenant shall pay directly all premiums for
its liability insurance required under Section 9.2 and for all other insurance
Tenant elects to carry. Tenant shall pay its Share of the premiums for the
insurance policies carried by Landlord described in this Article or elsewhere in
this Lease ("Insurance Costs"). If the Lease Term expires before the expiration
of any such insurance policy, Tenant's liability for premiums shall be prorated
on an annual basis. Tenant shall pay its Share of Insurance Costs to Landlord,
to the extent such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded under Section
4.5, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord. If any

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

insurance policy maintained by Landlord covers property other than the Center
(under a so-called "blanket" policy or otherwise), Landlord shall reasonably
apportion the premium therefor among the properties so covered. In addition,
Tenant shall pay its Share of any deductible amount under Landlord's insurance
policies within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord.
Tenant's Share of any such deductible shall be equitably determined by Landlord
based upon, among other factors, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises
affected compared to the Rentable Square Footage of all other affected areas in
the Center, and the Replacement Cost (as defined in Section 16.1) applicable to
the damage to the Premises compared to that applicable to all other affected
areas.
     9.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and
all claims against the other party and its officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, members, principals, employees, agents, representatives, and other
related entities and individuals, and their respective successors and assigns,
for any and all loss of or damage to the Premises, Center or other tangible
property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under worker's compensation
laws and benefits, which loss or damage arises out of any peril that is or would
be covered by any physical damage insurance policy actually carried or required
to be carried pursuant to this Lease. The foregoing waiver shall apply
regardless of whether the party suffering the loss or damage actually carries
such insurance, recovers under such insurance, or self-insures the loss or
damage. Inasmuch as the foregoing waiver will preclude the assignment of any
such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other
person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give to each insurance company
issuing to it any policy of physical damage insurance written notice of the
terms of this mutual waiver, and to have each such insurance policy properly
endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of such insurance coverage
by reason of such waiver. The waiver set forth herein shall apply to any
deductible amount under any insurance policy, is not limited by the amount of
insurance carried or required to be carried, and is in addition to any other
waiver or release contained in this Lease. If Landlord has contracted with a
third party for the management of the Center, the waiver of subrogation by
Tenant herein shall also run in favor of such third party.
     9.5 TENANT'S USE NOT TO INCREASE PREMIUM. Tenant shall not keep, use,
manufacture, assemble, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any
article that may be prohibited by, or that might invalidate, in whole or in
part, the coverage afforded by, a standard form of fire or all risk insurance
policy. Tenant shall pay the entire amount of any increase in premiums that may
be charged during the Lease Term for the insurance that may be maintained by
Landlord on the Premises or the Center resulting from the type of materials or
products stored, manufactured, assembled or sold by Tenant in the Premises,
whether or not Landlord has consented to the same. In determining whether
increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule
issued by the entity making the insurance rate on the Premises showing the
various components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the items and
charges that make up the fire insurance rate on the Premises.
10.  UTILITIES
     Tenant shall pay the cost of all water, gas, heat, light, power, sewer,
telephone, refuse disposal, and all other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises. Tenant shall make payments for all separately metered utilities, when
due, directly to the appropriate supplier. Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to install, at Tenant's sole expense, separate meters (or other
submeter, device or monitor for the measurement of utility usage) for any
utility for which a separate meter is not installed as of the Commencement Date.
If any utilities or services are not separately metered or monitored with
respect to the Premises, Tenant shall pay its Share thereof to Landlord, to the
extent such obligation exceeds any amount thereof impounded under Section 4.4,
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord. Landlord
shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage or expense that
Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interruption,
interference or defect in the supply or character of the electricity or other
utilities supplied to the Premises. Landlord makes no representation or warranty
as the suitability of the utility service for Tenant's requirements, and no such
change, failure, defect, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute any
actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any
abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant of any of its obligations
under the Lease. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any
failure or interruption of any utility service, and no such failure or
interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or abate the rent due
hereunder.
11.  USE
     11.1 PERMITTED USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the
permitted uses specified in Section 1.8, and shall not be used or occupied for
any other purposes without the prior written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant
desire to change its use, Tenant shall request Landlord's consent to such change
in writing, and shall provide in writing such reasonably detailed information
about the proposed new use as may be requested by Landlord. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any requested change of use, and shall have
the right to impose reasonable restrictions on such new use. Factors that
Landlord may take into account in granting or withholding its consent shall
include, without limitation: (i) whether the proposed use is compatible with the
character and tenant mix of the Center, (ii) whether the proposed use poses any
increased risk to Landlord or any other occupant of the Center, (iii) whether
any proposed Alterations to accommodate such proposed use might decrease the
rental or sale value of the Premises or the Center, and (iv) whether Tenant has
the requisite expertise and financial ability to successfully operate in the
Premises with the proposed new use.
     11.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall at all times and at
its sole expense comply with all federal, state, local and other laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, requirements, and recorded covenants and
restrictions applicable to the Center (which will be provided to Tenant),
whether now in force or hereafter in effect (including without limitation those
related to disabled persons, access, hazardous materials, lighting upgrades,
energy saving, and sprinkler and seismic retrofits, and those required because
of Tenant's occupancy or the conduct of Tenant's business) (collectively, "Legal
Requirements"). Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Premises in conflict with any Legal Requirement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall at its sole cost take all actions,
make all alterations, install all additional facilities, and perform all work
required to cause the Premises (and any and all other areas of the Center under
the control of Tenant or that Tenant is required to maintain) to comply with all
Legal Requirements.
     11.3 WASTE, QUIET CONDUCT. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the
Premises in any manner that tends to create waste or a nuisance that will cause
objectionable noise or odors, or that may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any
other tenant in the Center.
     11.4 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall comply with the Rules and
Regulations for the Center attached as Exhibit "B", as the same may be amended
by Landlord from time to time, upon notice to Tenant.
     11.5 SIGNS. Tenant agrees, at Tenant's sole cost, to install a sign in
strict conformance with Landlord's sign criteria attached hereto as Exhibit "C"
within fifteen (15) days after first occupying the Premises. Tenant shall
maintain all approved signs and other items described herein in good condition
and repair at all times. All signs must be fabricated by a contractor selected
by Landlord. Prior to construction of any such sign, a detailed drawing of the
proposed sign shall be prepared by Landlord's contractor, at the sole expense of
Tenant, and submitted to Landlord and Tenant for written approval. No sign,
placard, pennant, flag, awning, canopy, or advertising matter of any kind shall
be placed or maintained on any exterior door, wall or window of the Premises or
in any area outside the Premises, and no decoration, lettering or advertising
matter shall be placed or maintained on the glass of any window or door, or that
can be seen through the glass, of the Premises without first obtaining
Landlord's written approval. All signs and sign cases shall be considered
fixtures and improvements and shall become the property of Landlord upon
expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant has no rights to signage at the
Center except as set forth in this Section. Landlord shall have the right from
time to time to revise the sign criteria, and within sixty (60) days after
Tenant's receipt of written notice of any new sign criteria, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's expense, remove all existing exterior signs and replace the same with
new signs conforming to the new sign criteria.

                                      -5-

     11.6 PARKING. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right, in common with
others, to use the parking areas of the Center; provided, however, that Tenant
shall not use more than the number of parking spaces designated in Section 1.10,
or if no number of such spaces is so indicated, Tenant shall not use more than
its reasonable share of parking spaces, as Landlord shall determine. Landlord
reserves the right, without liability to Tenant, to modify the parking areas, to
designate the specific location of the parking for Tenant and Tenant's customers
and employees, and to adopt reasonable rules and regulations for use of the
parking areas.
     11.7 ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord's agents
to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following purposes:
(a) to inspect the Premises, (b) to supply any services or to perform any
maintenance obligations of Landlord, including the erection and maintenance of
such scaffolding, canopies, fences, and props as may be required, (c) to make
such improvements, replacements or additions to the Premises or the Center as
Landlord deems necessary or desirable, (d) to post notices of nonresponsibility,
(e) to place any usual or ordinary "for sale" signs, or (f) within six (6)
months prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place any usual or ordinary
"for lease" signs. No such entry shall result in any rebate of rent or any
liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises. Landlord shall give reasonable notice to Tenant prior to any entry
except in an emergency or unless Tenant consents at the time of entry. If Tenant
is not personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises, at any
time when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible,
Landlord or Landlord's agents may enter the same by a master key, or may
forcibly enter the same without rendering Landlord or such agents liable
therefor, and without in any manner affecting the obligations and covenants of
this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to
impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for
the care, maintenance or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein.
12.  ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES; NONLIABILITY OF LANDLORD; DISCLAIMER
     12.1 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. By taking possession hereunder, Tenant
acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and accepts the condition
thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has no obligation to
improve the Premises other than as set forth specifically in this Lease, if at
all. In particular, Tenant acknowledges that any additional improvements or
alterations needed to accommodate Tenant's intended use shall be made solely at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, and strictly in accordance with the requirements
of this Lease (including the requirement to obtain Landlord's consent thereto),
unless such improvements and alterations are specifically required of Landlord.
Landlord shall have no responsibility to do any work required under any building
codes or other governmental requirements not in effect or applicable at the time
the Premises were constructed, including without limitation any requirements
related to sprinkler retrofitting, seismic structural requirements,
accommodation of disabled persons, or hazardous materials. Landlord shall be
under no obligation to provide utility, telephone or other service or access
beyond that which exists at the Premises as of the date of this Lease, unless
Landlord specifically agrees in writing to provide the same. If it is
anticipated that Tenant will be doing any Alterations or installations prior to
taking occupancy, any delays encountered by Tenant in accomplishing such work or
obtaining any required permits therefor shall not delay the Commencement Date or
the date that Tenant becomes liable to pay rent, or the date that Landlord may
effectively deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. By taking possession
hereunder, Tenant acknowledges that it accepts the square footage of the
Premises as delivered and as stated in this Lease. No discovery or alleged
discovery after such acceptance of any variance in such square footage as set
forth in this Lease (or in any proposal, advertisement or other description
thereof) shall be grounds for any adjustment in any component of the rent
payable hereunder, unless such adjustment is initiated by and implemented by
Landlord.
     12.2 LANDLORD'S EXEMPTION FROM LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable for
injury to Tenant's business or loss of income therefrom, or for personal injury
or property damage that may be sustained by Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant,
or their respective employees, invitees, customers, agents or contractors or any
other person in or about the Premises, caused by or resulting from fire, flood,
earthquake or other natural disaster, or from steam, electricity, gas, water or
rain, or dampness of any origin, that may leak, flow or emanate from or into any
part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning,
lighting fixtures or computer equipment or software, whether such damage or
injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions
of the Building, or from other sources, and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to property or for personal
injury or loss of life arising from any use, act or failure to act of any third
parties (including other occupants of the Center) occurring in, or about the
Premises or in or about the Center (including without limitation the criminal
acts of any third parties). Landlord shall not be liable for any latent defect
in the Premises or in the Building except for landlord negligence or willful
misconduct. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Premises shall be so
kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall indemnify, protect,
hold harmless and defend Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors,
shareholders, partners, members, principals, employees, agents, representatives,
and other related entities and individuals, and their respective successors and
assigns, from and against any claims arising out of damage to the same,
including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers. The
indemnifications and waivers of Tenant set forth in this Section shall apply
notwithstanding Landlord's negligence, but shall not apply to damage or
liability caused (i) by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
and (ii) through no fault of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants, or their
respective agents, contractors, employees, customers, invitees or licensees.
     12.3 NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS.
          (a) Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents make any warranty or
representation with respect to the suitability or fitness of the space for the
conduct of Tenant's business, or for any other purpose.
          (b) Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents make any warranty or
representation with respect to any other tenants or users that may or may not
construct improvements, occupy space or conduct business within the Center, and
Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any warranty or
representation relating thereto in entering into this Lease.
          (c) Landlord specifically disavows any oral representations made by or
on behalf of its employees, agents and independent contractors, and Tenant
hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying and has not relied on any
oral representations in entering into this Lease.
          (d) Landlord has not made any promises or representations, expressed
or implied, that it will renew, extend or modify this Lease in favor of Tenant
or any permitted transferee of Tenant, except as may be specifically set forth
herein or in a written instrument amending this Lease signed by all necessary
parties.
          (e) Notwithstanding that the rent payable to Landlord hereunder may at
times include the cost of guard service or other security measures, it is
specifically understood that Landlord does not represent, guarantee or assume
responsibility that Tenant will be secure from any damage, injury or loss of
life because of such guard service. Landlord shall have no obligation to hire,
maintain or provide such services, which may be withdrawn or changed at any time
with or without notice to Tenant or any other person and without liability to
Landlord. To induce Landlord to provide such service if Landlord elects in its
sole discretion to do so, Tenant agrees that (i) Landlord shall not be liable
for any damage, injury or loss of life related to the provision or nonprovision
of such service, and (ii) Landlord shall have no responsibility to protect
Tenant, or its employees or agents, from the acts of any third parties
(including other occupants of the Center) occurring in or about the Premises or
in or about the Center (including without limitation the criminal acts of any
third parties), whether or not the same could have been prevented by any such
guard service or other security measures.
          12.4 KEYS. Tenant shall re-key the Premises at its sole cost upon
taking possession thereof. Tenant hereby acknowledges that various persons have
had access to the keys to the Premises as keyed prior to Tenant's possession,
and that Landlord disclaims all liability and responsibility for any
unauthorized distribution or possession of such prior keys.

13.  INDEMNIFICATION
     Tenant shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord and
Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, principals,
employees, agents, representatives, and other related entities and individuals,
and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, "Landlord's Related
Entities"), from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability,
costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising from personal
injury, death, and/or property damage and arising from: (a) Tenant's use or
occupation of the Premises or any work or activity done or permitted by Tenant
in or about the Premises (including without limitation any storage or display of
materials or merchandise, or other activity by Tenant in the Common Facilities),
(b) any activity, condition or occurrence in the Premises or other area under
the control of Tenant, (c) any breach or failure to perform any obligation
imposed on Tenant under this Lease, (d) any breach or failure by Tenant to cause
the Premises (and any and all other areas of the Center under the control of
Tenant or that Tenant is required to maintain) to comply with all Legal
Requirements related to disabled persons or access, or (e) any other act or
omission of Tenant or its assignees or subtenants or their respective agents,
contractors, employees, customers, invitees or licensees. Tenant's obligation to
indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend shall include, but not be limited
to, claims based on duties, obligations, or liabilities imposed on Landlord or
Landlord's Related Entities by statute, ordinance, regulation, or other law,
such as claims based on theories of peculiar risk and nondelegable duty, and to
any and all other claims based on the negligent act or omission of Landlord or
Landlord's Related Entities. The parties intend that this provision be
interpreted as the broadest Type I indemnity provision as defined in McDonald &
Kruse, Inc. v. San Jose Steel Co., 29 Cal. App. 3rd 413 (1972), and as allowed
by law between a landlord and a tenant. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall,
at Tenant's sole expense and by counsel satisfactory to Landlord, defend any
action or proceeding brought against Landlord or Landlord's Related Entities by
reason of any such claim. If Landlord or any of Landlord's Related Entities is
made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall
indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord and Landlord's Related
Entities from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability,
costs, expenses and attorneys' fees and costs incurred or paid in connection
with such litigation. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord hereunder, assumes all risk of, and waives all claims against Landlord
for, personal injury or property damage in, upon or about the Premises, from any
cause whatsoever. Provided, however, that the indemnifications and waivers of
Tenant set forth in this Section shall not apply to damage and liability caused
(i) by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, and (ii) through
no fault of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants, or their respective agents,
contractors, employees, customers, invitees or licensees.
14.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
     14.1 DEFINITIONS. "Hazardous Materials Laws" means any and all federal,
state or local laws, ordinances, rules, decrees, orders, regulations or court
decisions relating to hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous

matter that: (a) is defined as a hazardous substance, hazardous material,
hazardous waste or toxic substance under any Hazardous Materials Law, (b) is

asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive material, nuclear medicine material,
drug, vaccine, bacteria, virus, mold, hazardous waste, toxic substance, or
related injurious or potentially injurious material (by itself or in combination
with other materials).
     14.2 USE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant shall not allow any Hazardous
Material to be used, generated, manufactured, released, stored or disposed of
on, under or about, or transported from, the Premises, unless: (a) such use is
specifically disclosed to and approved by Landlord in writing prior to such use,
and (b) such use is conducted in compliance with the provisions of this Article.
Landlord's consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion and, if
granted, may be revoked at any time. Landlord may approve such use subject to
reasonable conditions to protect the Premises and Landlord's interests. Landlord
may withhold approval if Landlord determines that such proposed use involves a
material risk of a release or discharge of Hazardous Materials or a violation of
any Hazardous Materials Laws or that Tenant has not provided reasonably
sufficient assurances of its ability to remedy such a violation and fulfill its
obligations under this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby
consents to Tenant's use, storage or disposal of products containing small
quantities of Hazardous Materials that are of a type customarily found in
offices and households (such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for
copies, paints, paint remover and the like) provided that Tenant shall handle,
use, store and dispose of such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner
and shall not allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises.
     14.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; HANDLING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant shall
strictly comply with, and shall maintain the Premises in compliance with, all
Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant shall obtain, maintain in effect and comply
with the conditions of all permits, licenses and other governmental approvals
required for Tenant's operations on the Premises under any Hazardous Materials

Hazardous Materials into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Premises. At
Landlord's request, Tenant shall deliver copies of, or allow Landlord to

removed from the Premises shall be removed and transported by duly licensed
haulers to duly licensed disposal facilities, in compliance with all Hazardous
Materials Laws. Tenant shall perform any monitoring, testing, investigation,
clean-up, removal, detoxification, preparation of closure or other required
plans and any other remedial work required by any governmental agency or lender,
or recommended by Landlord's environmental consultants, as a result of any
release or discharge or potential release or discharge of Hazardous Materials
affecting the Premises or the Center or any violation or potential violation of
Hazardous Materials Laws by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or
their respective agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees
(collectively, "Remedial Work"). Landlord shall have the right to intervene in
any governmental action or proceeding involving any Remedial Work, and to
approve performance of the work, in order to protect Landlord's interests.
Tenant shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other
compromise with respect to any claims relating to Hazardous Materials without
notifying Landlord and providing ample opportunity for Landlord to intervene.
Tenant shall additionally comply with the recommendations of Landlord's and
Tenant's insurers based upon National Fire Protection Association standards or
other applicable guidelines regarding the management and handling of Hazardous
Materials. If any present or future law imposes any requirement of reporting,
survey, investigation or other compliance upon Landlord, Tenant, or the
Premises, and if such requirement is precipitated by a transaction to which
Tenant is a party, including without limitation any Transfer (as defined in
Section 18.1) of this Lease by Tenant, then Tenant shall fully comply with and
pay all costs of compliance with such requirement, including Landlord's
attorneys' fees and costs.

quantities that would otherwise be reportable to a public agency, (b) Tenant
receives any order of a governmental agency requiring any Remedial Work pursuant
to any Hazardous Materials Laws, (c) Tenant receives any warning, notice of
inspection, notice of violation or alleged violation or Tenant receives notice
or knowledge of any proceeding, investigation or enforcement action, pursuant to
any Hazardous Materials Laws; or (d) Tenant receives notice or knowledge of any
claims made or threatened by any third party against Tenant or the Premises
relating to any loss or injury resulting from Hazardous Materials. If the
potential risk of any of the foregoing events is material, Tenant shall deliver
immediate verbal notice to Landlord, in addition to written notice as set forth
above. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all test results, reports and
business or management plans required to be filed with any governmental agency
pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws. Landlord hereby notifies Tenant, and

<PAGE>

Tenant hereby acknowledges that, prior to the leasing of the Premises pursuant
to this Lease, Tenant has been notified, pursuant to California Health and
Safety Code Section 25359.7 (or any successor statue), that Landlord knows, or
has reasonable cause to believe, that certain hazardous substances (as such term
is used in such Section 25359.7) may have come to be located in, on or beneath
the Premises.
     14.5 INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend
Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members,
principals, employees, agents, representatives, and other related entities and
individuals, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any
and all liabilities, claims, suits, judgments, actions, investigations,
proceedings, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising

directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, storage, release,
disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials by Tenant, or any assignee or
subtenant of Tenant, or their respective agents, contractors, employees,
licensees, or invitees, on, under or about the Premises during the Lease Term or
any other period of Tenant's actual or constructive occupancy of the Premises,
including, but not limited to, all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential
damages and the cost of any Remedial Work. Any defense of Landlord pursuant to
this Section shall be by counsel acceptable to Landlord. Neither the consent by
Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release, disposal or transportation of
Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws
shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's indemnification obligations pursuant to this
Article. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to and not a limitation of
the indemnification provisions of Article 13 of this Lease. Tenant's obligations
pursuant to this Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Lease.
     14.6 ENTRY AND INSPECTION; CURE. Landlord and its agents, employees and
contractors, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter the Premises
at all reasonable times to inspect the Premises and Tenant's compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Article, or to conduct investigations and tests. No
prior notice to Tenant shall be required in the event of an emergency, or if
Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that violations of this Article have
occurred, or if Tenant consents at the time of entry. In all other cases,
Landlord shall give at least twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice to Tenant.
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remedy any violation
by Tenant of the provisions of this Article pursuant to Section 22.3 of this
Lease or to perform any Remedial Work. Tenant shall pay, upon demand, all costs
incurred by Landlord in investigating any such violations or potential
violations or performing Remedial Work, plus interest thereon at the rate
specified in this Lease from the date of demand until the date paid by Tenant.
     14.7 TERMINATION; EXPIRATION. Upon termination or expiration of this Lease,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost, remove any equipment, improvements or storage
facilities utilized in connection with any Hazardous Materials and shall clean
up, detoxify, repair and otherwise restore the Premises to a condition free of
Hazardous Materials, to the extent such condition is caused by Tenant or any
assignee or subtenant of Tenant or their respective agents, contractors,
employees, licensees or invitees.
     14.8 EXIT ASSESSMENT. No later than ten (10) days after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cause to be performed, at its
sole expense, an environmental assessment (the "Exit Assessment") of the
Premises. Landlord agrees to allow Tenant access to the Premises for such
purpose. The Exit Assessment must be performed by a qualified environmental
consultant acceptable to Landlord, and shall include without limitation the
following, as applicable to the Premises and Tenant's activities: (a) inspection
of all floors, walls, ceiling tiles, benches, cabinet interiors, sinks, the roof
and other surfaces for signs of contamination and/or deterioration related to
Hazardous Materials, (b) inspection of any and all ducts, hoods and exhaust
systems for signs of contamination, deterioration and/or leakage related or
potentially related to Hazardous Materials, (c) inspection of all readily
accessible drain lines and other discharge piping for signs of deterioration,
loss of integrity and leakage, (d) Tenant interviews and review of appropriate
Tenant records to determine the uses to which Tenant has put the Premises that
involve or may have involved Hazardous Materials, and to determine if any known
discharges to the Premises or ground or soils from Tenant's activities have
occurred, (e) documentation in detail of all observations, including dated
photographs, (f) if applicable a certification that all areas inspected are
clean and free of any Hazardous Materials and that the investigation conducted
by the consultant does indicate that any release of any Hazardous Materials has
occurred in the Premises or the Center as a result of Tenant's activities, (g)
if applicable, a detailed description of Hazardous Materials remaining in the
Premises and of any contamination, deterioration and/or leakage observed,
together with detailed recommendations for the removal, repair or abatement of
the same, and (h) if applicable, a detailed description of evidence of possible
or past releases of Hazardous Materials, together with detailed recommendations
for the prevention of the same in the future. Landlord shall have the right to
require additional evaluations or work in connection with the Exit Assessment
based upon Tenant's use of the Premises, any actual or suspected Hazardous
Materials issues, or other reasonable factors. The original of the Exit
Assessment shall be addressed to Landlord and shall be provided to Landlord
within twenty (20) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
In addition to Tenant's obligations under Section 14.7, Tenant agrees to fully
implement and address all recommended actions contained in the Exit Assessment,
at its sole cost, within thirty (30) days of the date thereof.
     14.9 EVENT OF DEFAULT. The release or discharge of any Hazardous Material
or the violation of any Hazardous Materials Law by Tenant or any assignee or
subtenant of Tenant shall be a material Event of Default by Tenant under this
Lease. In addition to or in lieu of the remedies available under this Lease as a
result of such Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, without
terminating this Lease, to require Tenant to suspend its operations and
activities on the Premises until Landlord is satisfied that appropriate Remedial
Work has been or is being adequately performed; Landlord's election of this
remedy shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right thereafter to declare
an Event of Default and pursue any other available remedy.
15.  ALTERATIONS; LIENS
     15.1 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant shall not make any alterations,
additions or improvements ("Alterations") to the Premises without Landlord's
prior written consent, except for nonstructural Alterations that cost $5,000 or
less and are not visible from the exterior of the Premises. All Alterations
installed by Tenant shall be new or completely reconditioned. Landlord shall
have the right to approve the contractor, the method of payment of the
contractor, and the plans and specifications for all proposed Alterations.
Tenant shall obtain Landlord's consent to all proposed Alterations requiring
Landlord's consent prior to the commencement of any such Alterations. Tenant's
request for consent shall be accompanied by information identifying the
contractor and method of payment and two (2) copies of the proposed plans and
specifications. All Alterations of whatever kind and nature shall become at once
a part of the realty and shall be surrendered with the Premises upon expiration
or earlier termination of the Lease Term, unless Landlord requires Tenant to
remove the same as provided in Article 20. If Tenant demolishes or removes any
then-existing tenant improvements or other portions of the Premises or the
Building (including without limitation any previously-installed Alterations),
Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion all
Alterations then underway; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to do so, at
the election of Landlord, Tenant shall restore the Premises and the Building to
its condition and state of improvement prior to such demolition or removal.
During the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to provide, at Tenant's expense, a policy
of insurance covering loss or damage to Alterations made by Tenant, in an amount
adequate to repair or replace the same, naming Landlord and Landlord's property
manager (if any) as additional insureds. Provided, however, Tenant may install
movable furniture, trade fixtures, machinery or equipment in conformance with
applicable governmental rules or ordinances and remove the same upon expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease as provided in Article 20.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

     15.2 PERMITS AND GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall obtain, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, all building permits and other permits of every
kind and nature required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction in
connection with the Alterations. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless
and defend Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, partners,
members, principals, employees, agents, representatives, and other related
entities and individuals, and their respective successors and assigns, from and
against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, costs, and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of any failure by Tenant or
Tenant's contractor or agents to obtain all required permits, regardless of when
such failure is discovered. Tenant shall do any and all additional construction,
alterations, improvements and retrofittings required to be made to the Premises
and/or the Center, or any other property of Landlord as a result of, or as may
be triggered by, Tenant's Alterations. Landlord shall have the right to do such
construction itself; but in all instances Tenant shall pay all costs directly or
indirectly related to such work and shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and
defend Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, partners,
members, principals, employees, agents, representatives, and other related
entities and individuals, and their respective successors and assigns, from and
against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, costs, and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of any such additionally
required work. All payment and indemnification obligations under this Section
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
     15.3 LIENS. Tenant shall pay when due all claims for any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant, and Tenant shall
keep the Premises free from any liens arising with respect thereto. If Tenant
fails to cause any such lien to be released within fifteen (15) days after
imposition, by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to cause such release by such means as Landlord
deems proper. Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith (including attorneys' fees and costs), with
interest at the rate specified in Section 22.4 from the date of payment by
Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant. Tenant will notify Landlord in
writing thirty (30) days prior to commencing any alterations, additions,
improvements or repairs in order to allow Landlord time to file a notice of
nonresponsibility.
     15.4 REMODEL. Landlord may in the future remodel, renovate or refurbish
("remodel") all or any portion of the Center, which remodel may include the
Premises. The remodeling will be done in accordance with design specifications
prepared by the project architect and reviewed and approved by Landlord. Copies
of such specifications will be made available to Tenant. Tenant shall not,
through any act or omission on the part of Tenant, in any way impede, delay or
prevent the completion of such remodeling in a timely manner.
16.  DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
     16.1 PARTIAL DAMAGE. If, during the Lease Term, the Premises are damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty and such damage or destruction affects Tenant's use of
the Premises (collectively, "Premises Damage"), Landlord shall perform the
necessary repairs (other than to Tenant's Alterations, trade fixtures,
equipment, and personal property, the repair of which Tenant shall be solely
responsible), and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Provided,
however, that Landlord may, at its option, elect to terminate this Lease if (i)
Landlord's repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days after
the date of the Premises Damage in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, or (ii) the Replacement Cost (defined below) exceeds six (6)
months' Minimum Monthly Rent, or (iii) Landlord does not receive sufficient
insurance proceeds to pay the full Replacement Cost and the shortfall exceeds
one (1) month's Minimum Monthly Rent. As used herein, "Replacement Cost" shall
mean the cost to repair or rebuild the Premises, Building or Center (other than
Tenant's Alterations, equipment, trade fixtures, and personal property) at the
time of the damage or destruction to their condition existing immediately prior
thereto, including without limitation all costs of demolition, debris removal,
permits, fees and other governmental requirements, and upgrading the Premises,
Building or Center as required by law or other requirements, without deduction
for depreciation.
     16.2 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease,
a total destruction (including any destruction required by any authorized public
authority) of either the Premises or the Building shall, at the election of
Landlord, terminate this Lease as of the date of such destruction.
     16.3 PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF CENTER OR BUILDING. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease, if fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable area of
the Building or the Center is damaged or destroyed, notwithstanding that the
Premises may be unaffected, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease.
     16.4 INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE. If Landlord is required or elects to repair any
Premises Damage caused by an insured casualty as provided in Section 16.1,
Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from
Landlord, pay the amount of any deductible (or its Share thereof) under any
insurance policy covering such Premises Damage, in accordance with Section 9.3
above.
     16.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last twelve (12)
months of the Lease Term there is Premises Damage for which Replacement Cost
exceeds one (1) month's Minimum Monthly Rent, Landlord may, at its option, elect
to terminate this Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant has any valid,
unexercised option to extend the term of this Lease, Tenant may prevent
Landlord's termination under this Section by exercising such option within five
(5) business days of receipt of Landlord's election to terminate.
     16.6 LANDLORD'S TERMINATION NOTICE; EFFECTIVE DATE; RELOCATION. If Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease under any applicable provision of this Article
16, Landlord shall give notice of such election within forty-five (45) days of
the date of the damage or destruction. In the case of a total destruction
(Section 16.2) or Premises Damage that prevents Tenant from occupying the
Premises for its permitted use, the effective date of such termination shall be
the date of such Premises Damage; otherwise the effective date of termination
shall be a date selected by Landlord not earlier than thirty (30) days from the
date of Landlord's notice. If Tenant has any right to terminate this Lease as a
result of any Premises Damage (whether provided in this Lease, by law or
otherwise) Landlord may prevent such termination by exercising, within
forty-five (45) days of the Premises Damage, any right to relocate Tenant to new
Premises in the Center provided in Section 24.24 of this Lease.
     16.7 RENT ABATEMENT. If Landlord repairs the Premises or the Building after
a Premises Damage as described in this Article 16, Minimum Monthly Rent and
Additional Rent shall be equitably reduced from the date of the Premises Damage
until the repairs are completed, based upon the extent to which such repairs
interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, but only to
the extent Landlord receives proceeds from the rental income insurance described
in Section 9.1. Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to make a claim for and
collect any rental income insurance proceeds that might be available.
     16.8 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall not be required to repair any
injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any restoration or
replacement of, any of Alterations, equipment, trade fixtures, and personal
property owned, placed or installed in or about the Premises by or on behalf of
Tenant. Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall
promptly repair, restore or replace the same in the event of any damage thereto.
If all or any portion of the Premises, Building or Center is damaged or
destroyed by reason of any act or omission of Tenant, except as provided in
Section 9.4 (Waiver of Subrogation), Tenant shall either make the necessary
repairs at Tenant's expense or pay to Landlord the Replacement Cost arising
therefrom, regardless of whether this Lease is terminated. Nothing contained in
this Article shall be construed as a limitation on Tenant's liability for any
damage or destruction if such liability otherwise exists.
     16.9 WAIVER OF INCONSISTENT STATUTES. The parties' rights and obligations
in the event of damage or destruction shall be governed by the provisions of
this Lease; accordingly, Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code
Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4), and any other statute, code or judicial decisions
that grants a tenant a right to terminate a lease in the event of damage or
destruction of a leased premises.
17.  CONDEMNATION
     17.1 EFFECT ON LEASE. If all of the Premises, or so much thereof that the
remaining portion of the Premises cannot be used by Tenant for its permitted
use, is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the
exercise of such power (collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate
as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemnor or the date the
condemnor is entitled to possession of the interest condemned (the "Condemnation
Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may prevent such termination by
exercising, within forty-five (45) days of the Condemnation, any right to
relocate Tenant to new Premises in the Center provided in Section 24.24 of this
Lease. In all other cases, Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

Condemnation Date if (i) the Condemnation affects any material portion of the
Premises or the Building, (ii) Landlord receives insufficient funds from the
condemnor to complete the restoration of the Premises required under this
Section, or (iii) if the Condemnation affects such a substantial portion of the
Center (including the Common Facilities, parking lots or access to the Center)
that it is no longer economically appropriate in Landlord's business judgment to
lease the Premises on the terms and conditions of this Lease. If such
Condemnation affects the Premises and this Lease remains in effect, (a) this
Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the
Condemnation Date, (b) the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be equitably adjusted
based upon the rental value of the Premises remaining after the Condemnation
compared to the rental value of the Premises prior to Condemnation, (c) Tenant's
Share shall be adjusted based on any changes in the Rentable Square Footage of
the Premises and/or the Center, and (d) Landlord shall, within a reasonable
period of time, undertake such construction or restoration as may be reasonably
necessary to place the remaining Premises in a useable condition (provided that
the cost of such construction or restoration does not exceed the amount awarded
to Landlord by the condemnor for such purpose). Landlord shall not be
responsible to restore or replace any of Tenant's Alterations, fixtures,
equipment or personal property.
     17.2 CONDEMNATION AWARD. All compensation, damages and other items of value
awarded, paid or received in settlement or otherwise ("Award") upon any partial
or total Condemnation shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim
thereto. Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Landlord, and fully
waives, releases and relinquishes any and all claims to or interest in the
Award, including, without limitation, any amount attributable to the amount, if
any, by which rental value of the Premises exceeds the rent payable for the
remainder of the Lease Term, to the value of any unexercised options to extend
the term or expand the Premises, or to Tenant's goodwill. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make a separate claim and to recover
from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, so long as the Award
payable to Landlord is not reduced thereby, such compensation as may be
separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on account of
(a) the taking of the unamortized or undepreciated value of any leasehold
improvements owned by Tenant that Tenant has the right to remove at the end of
the Lease Term and the Tenant elects not to remove; (b) reasonable removal and
relocation costs for any leasehold improvements that Tenant has the right to
remove and elects to remove (if the condemning authority approves of the
removal); and (c) relocation costs under Government Code Section 7262, the claim
for which Tenant may pursue by separate action independent of this Lease.
     17.3 WAIVER OF INCONSISTENT STATUTES. The parties' rights and obligations
in the event of Condemnation shall be governed by the provisions of this Lease;
accordingly, Tenant waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 1265.110 through 1265.150, and any other statute, code or judicial
decisions that grants a tenant a right to terminate a lease in the event of the
Condemnation of a leased premises.
18.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
     18.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Tenant shall not voluntarily or
involuntarily assign, sublease, mortgage, encumber, or otherwise transfer all or
any portion of the Premises or its interest in this Lease (collectively,
"Transfer") without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord
shall not unreasonably withhold. Landlord may withhold its consent until Tenant
has complied with the provisions of Sections 18.2 and 18.3. Any attempted
Transfer without Landlord's written consent shall be void and shall constitute a
noncurable Event of Default under this Lease. If Tenant is a corporation, any
cumulative Transfer of more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting stock of
such corporation shall constitute a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent
hereunder; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any
corporation whose stock is publicly traded. If Tenant is a partnership, limited
liability company, trust or other entity, any cumulative Transfer of more than
twenty percent (20%) of the partnership, membership, beneficial or other
ownership interests therein shall constitute a Transfer requiring Landlord's
consent hereunder. Tenant shall not have the right to consummate a Transfer or
to request Landlord's consent to any Transfer if any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or if Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant is in default
under any lease of any other real property owned or managed (in whole or in
part) by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord.
     18.2 LANDLORD'S ELECTION. Tenant's request for consent to any Transfer
shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details of the
proposed Transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the
prospective Transferee, financial details of the proposed Transfer (e.g., the
term and the rent and security deposit payable), and any other related
information that Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall have the right:
(a) to withhold consent to the Transfer, if reasonable, (b) to grant consent,
(c) to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises affected by any
proposed Transfer, in which event Landlord may enter into a lease directly with
the proposed Transferee (which election to terminate shall not be construed to
be a consent to the proposed Transfer), or (d) to consent on the condition that
Landlord be paid fifty percent (50%) of all subrent or other consideration to be
paid to Tenant under the terms of the Transfer in excess of the total rent due
hereunder (including, if such Transfer is an assignment or if such Transfer is
to occur directly or indirectly in connection with the sale of any assets of
Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the consideration attributable to
the Transfer, as reasonably determined by Landlord). Landlord may require any
permitted subtenant to make rental payments directly to Landlord, in the amount
of rent due hereunder. The grounds on which Landlord may reasonably withhold its
consent to any requested Transfer include, without limitation, that: (i) the
proposed Transferee's contemplated use of the Premises following the proposed
Transfer is not reasonably similar to the use of the Premises permitted
hereunder, (ii) in Landlord's reasonable business judgment, the proposed
Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a
successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease, (iii) in
Landlord's reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks
sufficient net worth, working capital, anticipated cash flow and other
indications of financial strength to meet all of its obligations under this
Lease, (iv) the proposed Transfer would breach any covenant of Landlord
respecting a radius restriction, location, use or exclusivity in any other
lease, financing agreement, or other agreement relating to the Center, and (v)
in Landlord's reasonable business judgment, the possibility of a release of
Hazardous Materials is materially increased as a result of the Transfer or if
Landlord does not receive sufficient assurances that the proposed Transferee has
the experience and financial ability to remedy a violation of Hazardous
Materials and to fulfill its obligations under Articles 13 and 14. In connection
with any such Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost, to cause environmental testing meeting the requirements of
an Exit Assessment described in Section 14.8 to be performed. Landlord need only
respond to any request by Tenant hereunder within a reasonable time of not less
than ten (10) business days after receipt of all information and other
submission required in connection with such request.
     18.3 COSTS; TRANSFER FEE. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses in
connection with any permitted Transfer, including any real estate brokerage
commissions due with respect to the Transfer. Tenant shall pay all attorneys'
fees and costs incurred by Landlord and a fee of $500 to reimburse Landlord for
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any request by Tenant for
Landlord's consent to a Transfer. Such fee shall be delivered to Landlord
concurrently with Tenant's request for consent. Such payment obligations shall
apply regardless of whether Landlord ultimately grants or denies Tenant's
request.
     18.4 ASSUMPTION; NO RELEASE OF TENANT. Any permitted assignee shall assume
in writing all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, utilizing a form of
assumption agreement provided or approved by Landlord, and an executed copy of
such assumption agreement shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15)
days after the effective date of the Transfer. The taking of possession of all
or any part of the Premises by any such permitted assignee or subtenant shall
constitute an agreement by such person or entity to assume without limitation or
qualification all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, notwithstanding
any failure by such person to execute the assumption agreement required in the
immediately preceding sentence. No permitted Transfer shall release or change
Tenant's primary liability to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations
of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of rent from any other person
is not a waiver of any provision of this Article nor a consent to any Transfer.
Consent to one Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent
Transfer. If any transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed
directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee.
Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or modifications of this Lease by
Tenant's transferee, without notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent, and such
action shall not relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease.

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

     18.5 NO MERGER. No merger shall result from any Transfer pursuant to this
Article, any surrender by Tenant of its interest under this Lease, or any
termination hereof in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may either
terminate any or all subleases or succeed to the interest of Tenant thereunder.
     18.6 REASONABLE RESTRICTION. Tenant acknowledges that the restrictions on
Transfer contained herein are reasonable restrictions for purposes of Section
22.2 of this Lease and California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
19.  SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
     19.1 SUBORDINATION. The lien and terms of this Lease are and shall be
unconditionally junior and subordinate to the lien and terms of all ground
leases, mortgages, deeds of trust, and other security instruments now or
hereafter affecting the real property of which the Premises are a part, and to
all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any mortgagee,
beneficiary under deed of trust or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease
prior to its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and gives written notice
thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto. Tenant agrees to
execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination or to make this
Lease prior to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as
the case may be. If Tenant fails to deliver such agreement within ten (10) days
after written demand, (a) Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably
appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place and
stead, to do so, and (b) an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred
and, in addition to all other liability, Tenant shall be liable for the
immediate payment of all foreseeable and unforeseeable damages, penalties and
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Landlord as a result of such failure.
     19.2 ATTORNMENT. If Landlord sells, transfers, or conveys its interest in
the Premises or this Lease, or if the same is foreclosed judicially or
nonjudicially, or is otherwise acquired, by a mortgagee, beneficiary under deed
of trust or ground lessor, upon the request and at the sole election of
Landlord's lawful successor, Tenant shall attorn to said successor. Tenant
shall, upon request of Landlord, execute an attornment agreement in form and
substance acceptable to Landlord agreeing in advance to such attornment to any
such mortgagee, beneficiary, ground lessor or other successor. Such attornment
agreement shall provide, among other things, that such mortgagee, beneficiary or
ground lessor shall not be (a) bound by any prepayment of more than one (1)
month's rent, (b) liable for the return of any Security Deposit or other sums
not actually received by said successor, (c) bound by any act or omission of
Landlord arising prior to the succession of such successor to the Landlord's
interest in this Lease, or be subject to any offset, defense or counter-claim
that Tenant may have previously accrued against Landlord, or (d) be bound by any
material amendment of this Lease made after the later of the initial effective
date of this Lease, or the date that such successor's lien or interest first
arose, unless said successor shall have consented to such amendment in writing.
     19.3 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) days after written request from
Landlord, Tenant at Tenant's sole cost shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a written certificate in favor of Landlord and any prospective lender
on or purchaser of the Center or any part thereof, (a) that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modifications and certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect as
so modified), (b) the amount of any rent paid in advance, and (c) that there are
no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying the nature of such
defaults if any are claimed. In addition to the foregoing, such certificate
shall include Tenant's certification to such other matters of fact, and be on
such form, as Landlord or such prospective lender or purchaser shall reasonably
require. If Tenant fails to deliver such certificate within said 10-day period,
an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and, in addition to all
other liability, Tenant shall be liable for the immediate payment of all
foreseeable and unforeseeable damages, penalties and attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by Landlord as a result of such failure. Tenant's failure to deliver
such certificate within said 10-day period shall constitute a conclusive
acknowledgment by Tenant: (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that not
more than one month's rent has been paid in advance, and (iii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance.
20.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES
     20.1 CONDITION OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in
the same condition and state of repair as at the commencement of the Lease Term,
except for ordinary wear and tear that Tenant is not otherwise obligated to
remedy under the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall deliver all keys to the
Premises and the Building to Landlord. Upon Tenant's vacation of the Premises,
Tenant shall remove all portable furniture, trade fixtures, machinery,
equipment, signs and other items of personal property (unless prohibited from
doing so under Section 20.2), and shall remove any Alterations (whether or not
made with Landlord's consent) that Landlord may require Tenant to remove. Tenant
shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal and shall restore
the Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. Such repairs shall
be performed in a manner satisfactory to Landlord and shall include, but are not
limited to, the following: capping all plumbing, capping all electrical wiring,
repairing all holes in walls, restoring damaged floor and/or ceiling tiles, and
thorough cleaning of the Premises. If Tenant fails to remove any items that
Tenant has an obligation to remove under this Section when required by Landlord
or otherwise, such items shall, at Landlord's option, become the property of
Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to remove and retain or dispose of
the same in any manner, without any obligation to account to Tenant for the
proceeds thereof. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages to
Tenant resulting from Landlord's retention or disposition of such Alterations or
personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's costs of
removing, storing and disposing of such items.
     20.2 REMOVAL OF CERTAIN ALTERATIONS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT PROHIBITED. All
Alterations, fixtures (whether or not trade fixtures), machinery, equipment,
signs and other items of personal property that Landlord has not required Tenant
to remove under Section 20.1 shall become Landlord's property and shall be
surrendered to Landlord with the Premises, regardless of who paid for the same.
In particular and without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not remove any of
the following materials or equipment without Landlord's prior written consent,
regardless of who paid for the same and regardless of whether the same are
permanently attached to the Premises: power wiring and power panels; piping for
industrial gasses or liquids; laboratory benches, sinks, cabinets and casework;
fume hoods or specialized air-handling and evacuation systems; drains or other
equipment for the handling of waste water or hazardous materials; computer,
telephone and telecommunications wiring, panels and equipment; lighting and
lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds and other window coverings;
carpets and other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners and other heating
or air conditioning equipment; fencing; security gates and systems; and other
building operating equipment and decorations.
     20.3 HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall indemnify, protect, hold
harmless and defend Landlord against all liabilities, damages and expenses
incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the
Premises. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration of the Lease Term with Landlord's written permission,
Tenant's occupancy shall be a tenancy from month-to-month only, and not a
renewal or extension hereof. All provisions of this Lease (other than those
relating to the term) shall apply to such month-to-month tenancy, except that
the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Minimum Monthly Rent
in effect during the last month of the Lease Term. No acceptance of rent,
negotiation of rent checks or other act or omission of Landlord or its agents
shall extend the Expiration Date of this Lease other than a writing executed by
Landlord giving Tenant permission to remain in occupancy beyond the Expiration
Date under the terms of the immediately preceding sentence.

21.  DEFAULT BY TENANT
     The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Lease by Tenant:
     21.1 Failure to pay when due any Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or
any other monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this
Lease.
     21.2 Failure to perform any other material agreement or obligation of
Tenant hereunder, if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written
notice by Landlord to Tenant, except as to those Events of Default that are
noncurable, in which case no such grace period shall apply. Landlord's notice
described herein is intended to satisfy, and is not in addition to, any and all
legal notices required prior to commencement of an unlawful detainer action,
including without limitation the notice requirements of California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 1161 et seq.
     21.3 Abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant, or failure to
occupy the Premises for a period of ten (10) consecutive days.
     21.4 If any of the following occurs: (i) a petition is filed for an order
of relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or for an order or decree of
insolvency or reorganization or rearrangement under any state or federal law,
and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing
thereof; (ii) Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(iii) a receiver or trustee is appointed to take possession of any substantial
part of Tenant's assets, unless such appointment is vacated within thirty (30)
days after the date thereof; (iv) Tenant consents to or suffers an attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of any substantial part of its assets or its
interest under this Lease, unless such process is released or satisfied within
thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof; or (v) Tenant's net worth,
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, decreases, at any time during the Lease Term, below
Tenant's net worth as of the date of execution of this Lease. If a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the foregoing events is not a
default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if
Tenant remains a debtor in possession), and such trustee or Tenant transfers
Tenant's interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive the difference between
the rent (or other consideration) paid in connection with such transfer and the
rent payable by Tenant hereunder. Any assignee pursuant to the provisions of any
bankruptcy law shall be deemed without further act to have assumed all of the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder arising on or after the date of such
assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to
Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
     21.5 The occurrence of any other event that is deemed to be an Event of
Default under any other provision of this Lease, or any other lease to which
Landlord (or any affiliate of Landlord) and Tenant (or any affiliate of Tenant)
are parties.
22.  REMEDIES
     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have
the following remedies, each of which shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other remedies now or hereafter available at law or in equity:
     22.1 TERMINATION OF LEASE. Landlord can terminate this Lease and Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises by giving written notice of termination, and
then re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof. No act by Landlord other
than giving written notice to Tenant of such termination shall terminate this
Lease. Upon termination, Landlord has the right to recover all damages incurred
by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default, including:
          (a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent that 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 that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves 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 Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided; plus
          (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default, including, but not limited to
(i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises, (ii) expenses
for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of
reletting, (iii) brokers' fees and commissions, advertising costs and other
expenses of reletting the Premises, (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as
taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions, (v) expenses in
retaking possession of the Premises, (vi) attorneys' fees and costs, (vii) any
unearned brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Lease, and (viii)
reimbursement of any previously waived or abated Minimum Monthly Rent,
Additional Rent or other charges; plus
          (e) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable
law. As used in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award"
shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum permissible legal rate. As
used in paragraph (c) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
     22.2 CONTINUATION OF LEASE. Landlord has the remedy described in California
Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after
Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant
has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), as
follows:
          (a) Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect without
terminating Tenant's right of possession, and Landlord shall have the right to
collect rent and other monetary charges when due and to enforce all other
obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to enter the
Premises to do acts of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, to make
alterations and repairs in order to relet the Premises, and/or to undertake
other efforts to relet the Premises. Landlord may also remove personal property
from the Premises and store the same in a public warehouse at Tenant's expense
and risk. No act by Landlord permitted under this paragraph shall terminate this
Lease unless a written notice of termination is given by Landlord to Tenant or
unless the termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
          (b) In furtherance of the remedy set forth in this Section, Landlord
may relet the Premises or any part thereof for Tenant's account, for such term
(which may extend beyond the Lease Term), at such rent, and on such other terms
and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Tenant
shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in
reletting the Premises. Any rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall
be applied to the payment of: (i) any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder
from Tenant to Landlord, (ii) the costs of such reletting, including brokerage
and attorneys' fees and costs, and the cost of any alterations and repairs to
the Premises, and (iii) the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, including
any previously waived or abated rent. Any remainder shall be held by Landlord
and applied in payment of future amounts as the same become due and payable
hereunder. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by
Landlord after an Event of Default by Tenant and the exercise of Landlord's
remedies hereunder. If the rent from such reletting during any month is less
than the rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord
upon demand.
          (c) Landlord shall not, by any re-entry or other act, be deemed to
have accepted any surrender by Tenant of the Premises or Tenant's interest
therein, or be deemed to have terminated this Lease or Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises or the liability of Tenant to pay rent accruing
thereafter or Tenant's liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof,
unless Landlord shall have given Tenant notice in writing that it has so elected
to terminate this Lease.
          (d) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions on the
Transfer of this Lease set forth in Article 18 of this Lease constitute
reasonable restrictions on such transfer for purposes of this Section and
California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
     22.3 PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money or
perform any other act to be performed by Tenant hereunder, and such failure
continues for fifteen (15) days after notice by Landlord, Landlord shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to make such payment or perform such other

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

act without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations. All sums so paid
by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon
at the rate specified in Section 22.4, shall be payable to Landlord on demand.
Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by
Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the rent.
     22.4 LATE CHARGE; INTEREST ON OVERDUE PAYMENTS. The parties acknowledge
that late payment by Tenant of Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or other
charges hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impractical to
determine, including, but not limited to, processing and accounting charges,
administrative expenses, and additional interest expenses or late charges that
Landlord may be required to pay as a result of late payment on Landlord's
obligations. Therefore, if any installment of Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional
Rent or other charges is not received by Landlord on the date due, and without
regard to whether Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure or exercises any
of its remedies upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal
to the greater of ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount or One Hundred Dollars
($100). The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the damages Landlord will incur by reason of late payment
by Tenant. In addition, any amount due from Tenant that is not paid when due
shall bear interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) over the then current
Bank of America prime or reference rate or ten percent (10%) per annum,
whichever is greater, but not in excess of the maximum permissible legal rate,
from the date such payment is due until the date paid by Tenant. Landlord's
acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord.
     22.5 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO REQUIRE ADVANCE PAYMENT OF RENT; CASHIER'S CHECKS.
If Tenant is late in paying any component of rent more than three (3) times
during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to
require that all rent be paid three (3) months in advance. Additionally, if any
of Tenant's checks are returned for nonsufficient funds, or if Landlord at any
time serves upon Tenant a Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (pursuant to
California Civil Code Sections 1161 et seq. or any successor or similar unlawful
detainer statutes), Landlord may, at its option, require that all future rent
(including any sums demanded in any subsequent three (3) day notice) be paid
exclusively by money order or cashier's check.
23.  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD
     23.1 NOTICE TO LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease
unless Landlord fails to perform an obligation required of Landlord within a
reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written
notice by Tenant to Landlord and to each Mortgagee as provided in Section 23.2,
specifying the nature of the alleged default; provided, however, that if the
nature of the obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences
performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the
same to completion.
     23.2 NOTICE TO MORTGAGEES. Tenant agrees to give each mortgagee or trust
deed holder on the Premises or the Center ("Mortgagee"), by certified mail, a
copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that Tenant has
been previously notified in writing of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant
further agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time
provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagees shall have an additional thirty
(30) days after Tenant's notice within which to cure such default, or if such
default cannot reasonably be cured within that time, then such additional time
as may be necessary if, within said 30-day period, any Mortgagee has commenced
and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure the default (including
but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings if necessary to
affect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such
remedies are being so diligently pursued.
     23.3 LIMITATIONS ON REMEDIES AGAINST LANDLORD. In the event Tenant has any
claim or cause of action against Landlord: (a) Tenant's sole and exclusive
remedy shall be against Landlord's interest in the Building, and neither
Landlord nor any of Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, partners,
members, principals, employees, agents, representatives, or other related
entities or individuals, or their respective successors and assigns
(collectively, "Landlord's Related Entities"), nor any other property of
Landlord or Landlord's Related Entities shall be liable for any deficiency, (b)
none of Landlord's Related Entities shall be sued or named as a party in any
suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction over
Landlord), (c) no service of process shall be made against any of Landlord's
Related Entities (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction), and none
of Landlord's Related Entities shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to
any service of process, (d) no judgment shall be taken against any of Landlord's
Related Entities and any judgment taken against any of Landlord's Related
Entities may be vacated and set aside at any time, and (e) no writ of execution
will ever be levied against the assets of any of Landlord's Related Entities.
The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section shall be enforceable by
Landlord and/or by any of Landlord's Related Entities. If Landlord fails to give
any consent that a court later holds Landlord was required to give under the
terms of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled solely to specific performance and
such other remedies as may be specifically reserved to Tenant under this Lease,
but in no event shall Landlord be responsible for monetary damages (including
incidental and consequential damages) for such failure to give consent.
24.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
     24.1 ACTION OR DEFENSE BY TENANT. Any claim, demand or right of defense of
any kind by Tenant that is based upon or arises in any connection with this
Lease or negotiations prior to its execution shall be barred unless Tenant
commences an action thereon or initiates a legal proceeding or defense by reason
thereof within six (6) months after the date of the occurrence of the event, act
or omission to which the claim, demand or right of defense relates. Tenant
acknowledges and understands that, after having had an opportunity to consult
with legal counsel, the purpose of this paragraph is to shorten the time period
within which Tenant would otherwise have to raise such claims, demands or rights
of defense.
     24.2 ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Except as provided in
this Section, if any dispute ensues between Landlord and Tenant arising out of
or concerning this Lease, and if said dispute cannot be settled through direct
discussions between the parties, the parties shall first to attempt to settle
the dispute through mediation before a mutually acceptable mediator. The cost of
mediation shall be divided equally between the parties. Thereafter, any
remaining, unresolved disputes or claims shall be resolved by binding
arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any such
arbitration shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys' fees
and costs as determined by the arbitrator; provided, however, that the foregoing
provisions regarding mediation and arbitration shall not apply to (a) any issue
or claim that might properly be adjudicated in an unlawful detainer proceeding,
or (b) to any issue or claim that Landlord elects not to have resolved through
arbitration and with respect to which Landlord commences an action in law or
equity to determine the same. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
(including any claim of injury or damage and any emergency and other statutory
remedy in respect thereof) brought by either against the other on any matter
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises.
     24.3 ATTORNEYS' FEES. If Landlord or Tenant brings any legal action or
proceeding, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any
suit by Landlord to recover rent or possession of the Premises or otherwise to
enforce this Lease, the prevailing party shall pay the other party's costs and
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in such proceeding. As used herein,
"attorneys' fees and costs" include without limitation attorneys' fees and
costs, printing, photocopying, duplicating and other expenses, air freight
charges, fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted
to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney,
experts' fees, appraisers' fees, accountants' fees, court costs, the fees of
other professionals, costs incurred in connection with any and all arbitrations,
mediations, post-judgment motions, contempt proceedings, garnishments, levies,
debtor and third party examination, discovery and bankruptcy litigation. If
Landlord issues notice(s) to pay rent, notice(s) to perform covenant, notice(s)
of abandonment or similar documents as a result of Tenant's default under this

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

Lease, and if Tenant cures such default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days of demand, the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in
preparing and delivering the same, including Landlord's attorneys' fees and
costs.
     24.4 AUTHORITY OF TENANT. Tenant represents and warrants that it has full
power and authority to execute and fully perform its obligations under this
Lease pursuant to its governing instruments, without the need for any further
action, and that the person(s) executing this Agreement on behalf of Tenant are
the duly designated agents of Tenant and are authorized to do so. Prior to
execution of this Lease, Tenant shall supply Landlord with such evidence as
Landlord may request regarding the authority of Tenant to enter into this Lease.
Any actual or constructive taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall
constitute a ratification of this Lease by Tenant.
     24.5 BINDING EFFECT; PARTIES BENEFITED. Subject to the provisions of
Article 18 restricting transfers by Tenant and subject to Section 24.26
regarding transfer of Landlord's interest, all of the provisions of this Lease
shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Except for Landlord's
employees and agents (including without limitation any property manager or
property management firm engaged by Landlord with respect to the Premises), each
of whom shall be entitled to the benefits of and shall be third party
beneficiaries of the provisions of Articles 12 and 13, no third person shall be
entitled to enforce or be entitled to any rights hereunder or be a third party
beneficiary of any term or provision this Lease.
     24.6 BROKERS. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real
estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this transaction
except only the broker(s) set forth in Section 1.11 of the Basic Lease
Provisions, and it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled
to a commission in connection with this transaction. Tenant agrees to indemnify,
protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord from and against any obligation or
liability to pay any commission or compensation to any other party arising from
the act or agreement of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that certain partners,
affiliates or members of Landlord, or their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, members or employees, may hold real estate sales person or broker
licenses, and additionally may be employees of Asset Management Group and as
such may have negotiated, or may have a financial interest in, this transaction.
     24.7 CONSTRUCTION. The headings and captions used in this Lease are for
convenience only and are not a part of the terms and provisions of this Lease.
In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term
"Tenant" shall include Tenant, its subtenants and assigns and their respective
agents, employees, contractors, and invitees, and any others using the Premises
with Tenant's express or implied permission.
     24.8 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in multiple copies, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one Lease
binding on all parties after all parties have signed such a counterpart.
     24.9 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision to be performed by Tenant
shall be deemed to be both a covenant and a condition.
     24.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease, together with any and all exhibits,
schedules, riders and addenda attached or referred to herein, constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
There are no oral or written agreements or representations between the parties
hereto affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes, cancels and merges any

the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and
agents. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties,

attached or referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
     24.12 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Within ten (10) days after written request from
Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such financial statements as are
reasonably requested by Landlord to verify the net worth of Tenant, or any
assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver
to any proposed or actual lender or purchaser of the Premises designated by
Landlord any financial statements required by such party to facilitate the sale,
financing or refinancing of the Premises, including the past three (3) years'
financial statements. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that: (a) each
such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such
statement; and (b) at all times during the Lease Term or any extension thereof,
Tenant's net worth shall not be reduced below Tenant's net worth as of the date
of execution of this Lease. All such financial statements shall be received in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes set forth herein. Tenant
hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to conduct credit checks and other
investigations into Tenant's financial affairs.
     24.13 FORCE MAJEURE. If Landlord is delayed in or prevented from the
performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes,
lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure standard materials, failure of
power, restrictive governmental laws, regulations or orders, governmental action
or inaction (including failure, refusal or delay in issuing permits, approvals
and/or authorizations), riots, civil unrest or insurrection, war, terrorism,
bioterrorism, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, unusual and
unforeseeable delay that results from an interruption of any public utilities,
or other unusual and unforeseeable delay not within the reasonable control of
Landlord, then performance of such act will be excused for the period of the
delay and the period for the performance of any such act will be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of such delay.
     24.14 GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed, construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
     24.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity

all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
     24.16 MODIFICATION. The provisions of this Lease may not be modified or
amended, except by a written instrument signed by all parties.
     24.17 MODIFICATION FOR LENDER. If, in connection with obtaining financing
or refinancing for the Premises or the Center, Landlord's lender requests
reasonable modifications to this Lease, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the
obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially and adversely affect Tenant's
rights hereunder.
     24.18 NONDISCRIMINATION. Tenant for itself and its officers, directors,
shareholders, partners, members, principals, employees, agents, representatives,
and other related entities and individuals, and their respective successors and
assigns, agrees to comply fully with any and all laws and other requirements
prohibiting discrimination against any person or group of persons on account of

indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord and Landlord's officers,
directors, shareholders, partners, members, principals, employees, agents,
representatives, and other related entities and individuals, and their
respective successors and assigns, from and against all damage and liability
incurred by Landlord in the event of any violation of the foregoing covenant or
because of any event of or practice of discrimination against any such persons
or group of persons by Tenant or its officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, members, principals, employees, agents, representatives, and other
related entities and individuals, and their respective successors and assigns,
in accordance with the indemnification provisions of Article 13.
     24.19 NOTICE. Any and all notices to either party shall be personally
delivered, sent by recognized courier service (such as Federal Express or United
Parcel Service), or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at the address specified in

designate in writing. Notice shall be deemed delivered on the date of personal
delivery, on the date scheduled for delivery by such courier service, or three
(3) business days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified, return receipt
requested. Provided, however, that any notice required pursuant to California

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161 et seq. may be given as provided in such
sections. Any and all notices provided herein that Landlord may give setting
forth or alleging any default or breach of this Lease, or of any failure of
Tenant to perform its obligations hereunder shall be deemed to satisfy, and
shall not be in addition to, any and all legal notices required prior to the
commencement of an unlawful detainer action, including without limitation the
notices required pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161 et
seq.
     24.20 PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Lease is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease shall not be affected thereby. Each provision shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
     24.21 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the rent
and performing the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, may quietly
have the right to use and occupy the Premises as against Landlord during the
Lease Term, subject, however, to the lien and provisions of any mortgage or deed
of trust to which this Lease is or becomes subordinate.
     24.22 RECORDING; NON-DISCLOSURE. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any
memorandum hereof without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall not,
without the express written consent of Landlord, disclose the terms or
provisions of this Lease to any person, except for Tenant's employees, agents,
attorneys, officers and directors whose duties require such persons to be
informed of such matters, or except as required by law.
     24.23 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, principal-agent,
or employer-employee relationship between Landlord and any other person or
entity (including, without limitation, Tenant) or as causing Landlord to be
responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of such other person or
entity.
     24.24 RELOCATION OF TENANT. In the event Landlord requires the Premises for
use in conjunction with other premises or for other reasons related to the
planning program for the Center, Landlord, upon delivering written notice to
Tenant (the "Relocation Notice"), shall have the right to relocate Tenant to a
substantially similar space in the Center, at Landlord's sole cost and expense
(except that Tenant shall bear the cost of moving and installing
telecommunication systems), and the terms and conditions of the original Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Premises will be in a new
location. However, if the new space does not meet with Tenant's reasonable
approval, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon delivering
notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of the
Relocation Notice. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
Section, the termination shall be effective on the effective date of the
proposed relocation of Tenant as indicated in the Relocation Notice.
     24.25 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of each and every
provision of this Lease.
     24.26 TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. In the event of a sale, assignment,
exchange or other disposition of Landlord's interest in the Premises, other than
a transfer for security purposes only, Landlord shall be relieved of all
obligations and liabilities accruing hereunder after the effective date of said
sale, assignment, exchange or other disposition, provided that any Security
Deposit or other funds then held by Landlord in which Tenant has an interest are
delivered to Landlord's successor. The obligations to be performed by Landlord
hereunder shall be binding on Landlord's successors and assigns only during
their respective periods of ownership.
     24.27 WAIVER. No provision of this Lease or the breach thereof shall be
deemed waived, except by written consent of Landlord. A waiver of any such
breach shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the
same or any other provision. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising any
of its remedies shall impair or be construed as a waiver thereof, unless such
waiver is expressly set forth in a writing signed by Landlord. The subsequent
acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any previous breach by Tenant, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the
particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
previous breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
     24.28 OFAC CERTIFICATION. Tenant and each Guarantor hereby jointly and
severally certify, warrant, represent and covenant to and for the benefit of
Landlord as follows: (a) Tenant and each of its subsidiaries, predecessors,
agents, direct and indirect owners and their respective affiliates has at all
applicable times been, is now and will in the future be, in compliance with U.S.
Executive Order 13224 and no action, proceeding, investigation, charge, claim,
report or notice has been filed, commenced or threatened against any of them
alleging any failure to so comply; (b) neither Tenant nor any Guarantor or any
of their respective agents, subsidiaries or other affiliates has, after due
investigation and inquiry, knowledge or notice of any fact, event, circumstance,
situation or condition which could reasonably be expected to result in any

commenced or threatened against any of them alleging any failure to comply with
the Order, or the imposition of any civil or criminal penalty against any of
them for any failure to so comply; (c) prior to any changes in direct or
indirect ownership of Tenant or any Guarantor, Tenant shall give a written
notice to Landlord signed by Tenant and each Guarantor advising Landlord in
reasonable detail as to the proposed ownership change, and reaffirming that the
representations and warranties herein contained will remain true and correct;
and (d) Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and
expenses (including attorney's fees and costs) arising from or related to any
breach of the foregoing certification.

                              RULES AND REGULATIONS

The following Rules and Regulations shall apply to the Center. Tenant agrees to
comply with the same and to require its agents, employees, contractors,
customers and invitees to comply with the same. Landlord shall have the right
from time to time to amend or supplement these Rules and Regulations, and Tenant
agrees to comply, and to require its agents, employees, contractors, customers
and invitees to comply, with such amended or supplemented Rules and Regulations,
provided that (a) notice of such amended or supplemental Rules and Regulations
is given to Tenant, and (b) such amended or supplemental Rules and Regulations
apply uniformly to all tenants of the Center. If Tenant or its subtenants,
employees, agents, or invitees violate any of these Rules and Regulations,
resulting in any damage to the Center or increased costs of maintenance of the
Center, or causing Landlord to incur expenses to enforce the Rules and
Regulations, Tenant shall pay all such costs to Landlord. In the event of any
conflict between the Lease and these or any amended or supplemental Rules and
Regulations, the provisions of the Lease shall control.

1.   Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost for the removal of all of
     Tenant's refuse or rubbish. All garbage and refuse shall be disposed of
     outside of the Premises, shall be placed in the kind of container specified
     by Landlord, and shall be prepared for collection in the manner and at the
     times and places specified by Landlord. If Landlord provides or designates
     a service for picking up refuse and garbage, Tenant shall use the same at
     Tenant's sole cost. Tenant shall not burn any trash or garbage of any kind
     in or about the Premises. If Landlord supplies janitorial services to the
     Premises, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent,
     employ any person or persons other than Landlord's janitorial service to
     clean the Premises.

2.   No aerial, satellite dish, transceiver, or other electronic communication
     equipment shall be erected on the roof or exterior walls of the Premises,
     or in any other part of the Center, without Landlord's prior written
     consent. Any aerial, satellite dish, transceiver, or other electronic
     communication equipment so installed without Landlord's prior written
     consent shall be subject to removal by Landlord without notice at any time
     and without liability to Landlord.

3.   No loudspeakers, televisions, phonographs, radios, or other devices shall
     be used in a manner so as to be heard or seen outside of the Premises
     without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall conduct its business
     in a quiet and orderly manner so as not to create unnecessary or
     unreasonable noise. Tenant shall not cause or permit any obnoxious or foul
     odors that disturb the public or other occupants of the Center. If Tenant
     operates any machinery or mechanical equipment that causes noise or
     vibration that is transmitted to the structure of the Building, or to other
     parts of the Center, to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or
     to any other occupant of the Center, Tenant shall install and maintain, at
     Tenant's expense, such vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to
     eliminate the objectionable noise or vibration.

4.   Tenant shall keep the outside areas immediately adjoining the Premises
     clean and free from dirt, rubbish, pallets and other debris to the
     satisfaction of Landlord. If Tenant fails to cause such outside areas to be
     maintained as required within twelve (12) hours after verbal notice that
     the same do not so comply, Tenant shall pay a fee equal to the greater of
     Fifty Dollars ($50.00) or the costs incurred by Landlord to clean up such
     outside areas.

5.   Tenant shall not store any merchandise, inventory, equipment, supplies,
     finished or semi-finished products, raw materials, or other articles of any
     nature outside the Premises (or the building constructed thereon if the
     Premises includes any outside areas) without Landlord's prior written
     consent.

6.   Tenant and Tenant's subtenants, employees, agents, or invitees shall park
     only the number of cars allowed under the Lease and only in those portions
     of the parking area designated for that purpose by Landlord. Upon request
     by Landlord, Tenant shall provide the license plate numbers of the cars of
     Tenant and Tenant's employees in order to facilitate enforcement of this
     regulation. Tenant and Tenant's employees shall not store vehicles or
     equipment in the parking areas, or park in such a manner as to block any of
     the accessways serving the Center and its occupants.

7.   The Premises shall not be used for lodging, sleeping, cooking, or for any
     immoral or illegal purposes, or for any purpose that will damage the
     Premises or the reputation thereof. Landlord reserves the right to expel
     from the Center any person who is intoxicated or under the influence of
     liquor or drugs or who shall act in violation of any of these Rules and
     Regulations. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any sale by auction on the
     Premises. No video, pinball, or similar electronic game machines of any
     description shall be installed, maintained or operated upon the Premises
     without the prior written consent of Landlord.

8.   Neither Tenant nor Tenant's employees or agents shall disturb, solicit, or
     canvas any occupant of the Center, and Tenant shall take reasonable steps
     to discourage others from doing the same.

9.   Tenant shall not keep in, or allow to be brought into, the Premises or
     Center any pet, bird or other animal, other than "seeing-eye" dogs or other
     animals under the control of and specifically assisting any disabled
     person.

10.  The plumbing facilities shall not be used for any other purpose than that
     for which they are constructed, and no foreign substance of any kind shall
     be disposed of therein. The expense of any breakage, stoppage, or damage
     resulting from a violation of this provision shall be borne by Tenant.
     Tenant shall not waste or use any excessive or unusual amount of water.

11.  Tenant shall use, at Tenant's cost, such pest extermination contractor as
     Landlord may direct and at such intervals as Landlord may require.

12.  Tenant will protect the carpeting from undue wear by providing carpet
     protectors under chairs with casters, and by providing protective covering
     in carpeted areas where spillage or excessive wear may occur.

13.  Tenant shall be responsible for repair of any damage caused by the moving
     of freight, furniture or other objects into, within, or out of the Premises
     or the Center. No heavy objects (such as safes, furniture, equipment,
     freight, etc.) shall be placed upon any floor without Landlord's prior
     written approval as to the adequacy of the allowable floor loading at the
     point where the objects are intended to be moved or stored. Landlord may

                                   EXHIBIT "B"

<PAGE>

     specify the time of moving to minimize any inconvenience to other occupants
     of the Center. If the Building is equipped with a freight elevator, all
     deliveries to and from the Premises shall be made using the freight
     elevator during the time periods specified by Landlord, subject to such
     reasonable scheduling as Landlord in its discretion shall deem appropriate.

14.  Without Landlord's prior written consent, no drapes or sunscreens of any
     nature shall be installed in the Premises and the sash doors, sashes,
     windows, glass doors, lights and skylights that reflect or admit light into
     the building shall not be covered or obstructed. Landlord shall have the
     right to specify the type of window coverings that may be installed, at
     Tenant's expense. Tenant shall not mark, drive nails, screw or drill into,
     paint, or in any way deface any surface or part of the building.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may hang pictures, blackboards, or
     similar objects, provided Tenant repairs and repaints any nail or screw
     holes, and otherwise returns the premises to the condition required under
     the Lease and the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The
     expense of repairing any breakage, stoppage, or damage resulting from a
     violation of this rule shall be borne by Tenant.

15.  No electrical wiring, electrical apparatus, or additional electrical
     outlets shall be installed in the Premises without Landlord's prior written
     approval. Any such installation not so approved by Landlord may be removed
     by Landlord at Tenant's expense. Tenant may not alter any existing
     electrical outlets or overburden them beyond their designed capacity.
     Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises, with reasonable notice
     to Tenant, for the purpose of installing additional electrical wiring and
     other utilities for the benefit of Tenant or adjoining tenants. Landlord
     will direct electricians as to where and how telephone and affixed wires
     are to be installed in the Premises. The location of telephones, call
     boxes, and other equipment affixed to the Premises shall be subject to the
     prior written approval of Landlord.

16.  If Tenant's use of the Premises involves the sale and/or preparation of
     food, Tenant shall at all times maintain a health department rating of "A"
     (or such other highest health department or similar rating as is
     available). Any failure by Tenant to maintain such "A" rating twice in any
     twelve (12) month period shall, at the election of Landlord, constitute a
     noncurable Event of Default under the Lease.

17.  Tenant shall comply with all safety, fire protection and evacuation
     procedures and regulations established by Landlord or any governmental
     agency.

18.  Tenant assumes any and all responsibility for protecting its Premises from
     theft, robbery and pilferage, which includes keeping doors locked and other
     means of entry to the Premises closed.

19.  If Tenant occupies any air-conditioned space, Tenant shall keep entry doors
     opening onto corridors, lobby or courtyard closed at all times. All truck
     and loading doors shall be closed at all times when not in use.

20.  Tenant shall not paint any floor of the Premises without Landlord's prior
     written consent. Prior to surrendering the Premises upon expiration or
     termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove any paint or sealer therefrom
     (whether or not previously permitted by Landlord) and restore the floor to
     its original condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and
     tear excepted. Tenant shall not affix any floor covering to the floor of
     the Premises in any manner except as approved by Landlord.
