shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Master Lease unless
otherwise defined herein.

                                        1

                  2.       Demise. Sublandlord hereby subleases and demises to
Subtenant and Subtenant hereby hires and subleases from Sublandlord the Sublease
Premises (which the parties stipulate contain 30,557 rentable square feet), upon
and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  3.       Lease Term. The term of this Sublease ("Term") shall
be for approximately twenty-eight (28) months, commencing on the latest of (i)
the date of full execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and
Subtenant, (ii) the date Landlord's consent to this Sublease is received in
accordance with Section 20 below, and (iii) the receipt by Sublandlord from
Subtenant of the first installment of the Deposit (as defined in Paragraph 6
below) (the "Sublease Commencement Date"), and ending, unless sooner terminated
as provided herein, on January 31, 2005 ("Sublease Expiration Date").

                  4.       Use. The Sublease Premises shall be used and occupied
by Subtenant for general office use only and for no other purpose. Subtenant's
use shall comply with Paragraphs 2 and 9 of the Original Lease.

                  5.       Subrental.

                           (a)      Base Rental. Beginning on January 1, 2003
("Sublease Rent Commencement Date") and thereafter during the Term of this
Sublease and ending on the Sublease Expiration Date, Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord base rent ("Base Rental") in the amount of $30,557.00 per month
(based on $12.00 per rentable square foot per annum within the Sublease
Premises). Base Rental and additional rent (including without limitation, late
fees) shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as "Rent."

                           (b)      Prorations. If the Sublease Rent
Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a month, or if the Sublease
Expiration Date is not the last day of a month, a prorated installment of
monthly Base Rental based on a thirty (30) day month shall be paid for the
fractional month during which the Term commenced or terminated.

                           (c)      Additional Rent. Beginning with the Sublease
Commencement Date and continuing to the Sublease Expiration Date, Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord as additional rent for this subletting all special or
after-hours cleaning, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, elevator and
other Building charges invoiced by Landlord to Sublandlord and attributable to
Subtenant's use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises, and all other additional
expenses, costs and charges payable under the Master Lease to Landlord in
connection with Subtenant's use of the Sublease Premises.

                           (d)      Operating Expenses and Taxes. Beginning with
the expiration of the calendar year 2003 ("Base Year") and thereafter during the
Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as additional rent for
this subletting an amount equal to 66.6% percent ("Subtenant's Share") of the
excess Operating Expenses and Taxes (as set forth in Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the
Original Lease) for the Master Premises over the total amount of Operating
Expenses and Taxes for the Master Premises incurred by Sublandlord during the
Base Year pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. Subtenant's
Share is a percentage

                                       2

<PAGE>

which reflects the ratio of the rentable square feet in the Sublease Premises to
the rentable square feet in the Master Premises.

                           (e)      Payment of Rent. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Sublease, Rent shall be payable in lawful money
without demand, and without offset, counterclaim, or setoff in monthly
installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every month during the
Term of this Sublease. All of said Rent is to be paid to Sublandlord at its
office at The Gap, Inc., 40 First Plaza, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102, Attn:
Real Estate Accounts Payable, or at such other place or to such agent and at
such place as Sublandlord may designate by notice to Subtenant. Any additional
rent payable on account of items which are not payable monthly by Sublandlord to
Landlord under the Master Lease is to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord,
provided that an invoice or other written notice of such additional rent charge
is given to Subtenant at least ten (10) days prior to the due date, as and when
such items are payable by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Master Lease. Upon
written request therefor, Sublandlord agrees to provide Subtenant with copies of
any statements or invoices received by Sublandlord from Landlord pursuant to the
terms of the Master Lease.

                  6.       Security Deposit. Concurrently with the Sublease
Commencement Date Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of Ninety-One
Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-One and No/100 Dollars ($91,671.00), and on the
Sublease Rent Commencement Date Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum
of Thirty Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Seven and No/100 Dollars ($30,557.00), for
a total deposit of One Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Eight and
No/100 Dollars ($122,228.00) ("Deposit"), which shall be held by Sublandlord as
security for the full and faithful performance by Subtenant of its covenants and
obligations under this Sublease. The Deposit is not an advance Rent deposit, an
advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Sublandlord's damage in case
of Subtenant's default. If Subtenant defaults in the full and timely performance
of any or all of Subtenant's covenants and obligations set forth in this
Sublease, then Sublandlord may, from time to time, without waiving any other
remedy available to Sublandlord, use the Deposit, or any portion of it, to the
extent necessary to cure or remedy the default or to compensate Sublandlord for
all or a part of the damages sustained by Sublandlord resulting from Subtenant's
default. Subtenant shall immediately pay to Sublandlord within five (5) days
following demand, the amount so applied in order to restore the Deposit to its
original amount, and Subtenant's failure to immediately do so shall constitute a
default under this Sublease. Sublandlord shall return the Deposit (less any
amounts retained by Sublandlord under the terms of this Section following an
Event of Default) to Subtenant after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Sublease. Sublandlord's obligations with respect to the Deposit are those
of a debtor and not a trustee. Sublandlord shall not be required to maintain the
Deposit separate and apart from Sublandlord's general or other funds and
Sublandlord may commingle the Deposit with any of Sublandlord's general or other
funds. Subtenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Deposit.

                  7.       Signage. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease,
including Paragraph 49 of the Original Lease, Subtenant is granted the right, at
or about the inception of the Term of this Sublease, to (i) a sign identifying
Subtenant in the elevator lobby on the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors of
the Building and (ii) Building directory signage, subject to Landlord's and
Sublandlord's prior written approval, which approval by Sublandlord shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Except for the foregoing,
Subtenant shall have no right to

                                        3

<PAGE>

maintain Subtenant identification signs in any other location in, on, or about
the Sublease Premises or the Building. The size, design, color and other
physical aspects of all such permitted signs shall also be subject to Landlord's
and Sublandlord's prior written approval, which approval by Sublandlord shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall also be subject
to any covenants, conditions or restrictions encumbering the Sublease Premises
and any applicable municipal or other governmental permits and approvals. The
cost of all such signs, including the installation, maintenance and removal
thereof, shall be at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. If Subtenant fails to
maintain its signs, or if Subtenant fails to remove same upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Sublease and repair any damage caused by such
removal, Sublandlord may do so at Subtenant's expense and Subtenant shall
reimburse Sublandlord for all actual costs incurred by Sublandlord to effect
such removal.

                  8.       Parking. Subject to the terms of Paragraph 55 of the
Original Lease, Subtenant shall have the right, during the Term of this
Sublease, to lease up to ten (10) parking spaces in the parking garage of the
Building. All such parking privileges shall be at the rates and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Master Lease and by the Building garage,
and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, upon demand, for those amounts billed
to Sublandlord by Landlord for said parking privileges.

                  9.       Sublandlord's Work. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby
acknowledge that Subtenant is not subleasing the entire Master Premises and also
that Sublandlord and Subtenant may desire that certain furniture and equipment
not part of this sublease transaction ("Excess F&E") be removed from the
Subleased Premises. To the extent Sublandlord determines, in the exercise of
Sublandlord's reasonable discretion, that the telecommunications and other
technical functions of the Sublease Premises should be separated from the
remainder of the telecommunications and other technical functions of the Master
Premises, and to the extent the Excess F&E must be removed from the Sublease
Premises, Sublandlord shall be responsible, at Sublandlord's sole cost and
expense, for performing such work ("Sublandlord's Work"). Subtenant acknowledges
that Sublandlord's Work may be performed, if at all (i) prior to the Sublease
Commencement Date, or (ii) after the Sublease Commencement Date. To the extent
Sublandlord reasonably determines that Sublandlord's Work must be performed, and
the Term has commenced, any such work shall be performed at a time reasonably
acceptable to Subtenant, and in a manner that does not interfere with the
ongoing business operations of Subtenant in the Sublease premises. Subject to
the foregoing, Subtenant agrees to cooperate with Sublandlord in the performance
of Sublandlord's Work, including granting Sublandlord access to the Sublease
Premises to perform same.

                  10.      Condition of Premises. Subtenant acknowledges that it
is subleasing the Sublease Premises "as-is" and that Sublandlord is not making
any representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Sublease Premises
and that Sublandlord is not obligated to perform any work to prepare the
Sublease Premises for Subtenant's occupancy. Subtenant further acknowledges and
agrees that Subtenant is not entitled to receive a tenant improvement allowance
or any other allowance from Sublandlord or Landlord in connection with this
Sublease. Subtenant is not authorized to make or do any alterations or
improvements in or to the Sublease Premises without Sublandlord's and, to the
extent required by the Master Lease, Landlord's consent. Sublandlord agrees not
to unreasonably withhold its consent to any alteration or improvement which does
not directly or substantially affect the Building systems or

                                        4

<PAGE>

structure. Any such alterations must be performed in accordance with the terms
of the Master Lease, including Paragraph 12 thereof. At the expiration or sooner
termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Sublease Premises to
Sublandlord in the condition originally delivered, reasonable wear and tear and
damage by casualty excepted, and shall remove any alterations or improvements
made by Subtenant, and shall repair any damage to the Sublease Premises caused
by said removal, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. Subtenant's obligations
under this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Sublease.

                  11.      Furniture. During the Term of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall have the use of the furniture located in the Sublease Premises
and listed on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Existing
Furniture"). Any furniture in the Sublease Premises not included in the Existing
Furniture shall be removed by Sublandlord, at its sole cost and expense, prior
to the Sublease Commencement Date. Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant is
leasing the Existing Furniture in its "as-is" condition, and Sublandlord is not
making any representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Existing
Furniture. Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall have no liability whatsoever
for any claims arising in connection with Subtenant's use of the Existing
Furniture, and Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord
harmless from any such claims. To the extent Subtenant needs to reconfigure the
Existing Furniture, any such reconfiguration shall be performed by a contractor
designated by Sublandlord at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. Subtenant shall
return to Sublandlord all such Existing Furniture on the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease in the same condition as same were in on the date
the Sublease Premises were first made available by Sublandlord to Subtenant,
reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted, unless Subtenant
purchases the Existing Furniture at the end of the Term pursuant to the terms
hereof. During the Term of the Sublease, the Existing Furniture shall remain the
property of Sublandlord. Prior to the end of the term of this Sublease, and
regardless of whether Subtenant elects to remain in the Sublease Premises
following the Sublease Expiration Date pursuant to a separate agreement with
Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall work together, in good faith, to
develop a removal plan that is reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and
Subtenant in order to minimize the disruption to Subtenant's business operations
in the Sublease Premises and will allow Sublandlord to have the Existing
Furniture removed prior to the end of the Term, unless Sublandlord elects to
sell, and Subtenant elects to purchase, the Existing Furniture in accordance
with this paragraph as of the Sublease Expiration Date. Sublandlord shall give
Subtenant written notice of Sublandlord's timetable for removing the Existing
Furniture and its determination as to whether Sublandlord desires to sell the
Existing Furniture to Subtenant no earlier than one hundred eighty (180), and no
later than at least one hundred twenty (120), days prior to the Sublease
Expiration Date ("Removal Notice"). Subtenant shall give written notice to
Sublandlord of its election to purchase the Existing Furniture within ten (10)
days of receipt of the Removal Notice. If Subtenant elects to purchase the
Existing Furniture, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall attempt to agree upon the
fair market value of the Existing Furniture using reasonable good faith efforts.
If Sublandlord and Subtenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days
following Subtenant's written notice (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then the
parties shall submit the dispute to arbitration as provided in (a) through (e).

                           (a)      Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each appoint
one arbitrator who shall be a qualified expert in the appraisal of used office
furniture. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days
after the Outside Agreement Date. Sublandlord and Subtenant

                                        5

<PAGE>

may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select
an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions (including an
arbitrator who has previously represented Sublandlord and/or Subtenant, as
applicable). The arbitrators so selected by Sublandlord and Subtenant shall be
deemed "Advocate Arbitrators."

                           (b)      Within ten (10) days of the date of the
appointment of the last Advocate Arbitrator, the two Advocate Arbitrators shall
agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator ("Neutral Arbitrator") who shall be
qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the
two Advocate Arbitrators except that neither the Sublandlord or Subtenant or
either parties Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the
Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance.

                           (c)      The three arbitrators shall within thirty
(30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator reach a decision as to
fair market value of the Existing Furniture and simultaneously publish a ruling
("Award") indicating the fair market value of same.

                           (d)      The Award issued by the majority of the
three arbitrators shall be binding upon Sublandlord and Subtenant.

                           (e)      The cost of arbitration shall be paid by
Sublandlord and Subtenant equally.

If the Existing Furniture is sold to Subtenant, Subtenant hereby agrees to
reimburse Sublandlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable or imposed upon
Sublandlord in connection with the sale thereof to Subtenant, including sales
and use taxes, if any.

                  12.      Equipment. During the term of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall have the use of the equipment located in the server room in the
Sublease Premises, which equipment is identified on Exhibit "D-l" attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Server Room Equipment"), and use of the
access control system located in the Sublease Premises and identified on Exhibit
"D-2" attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Access Control Equipment").
Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant is leasing the Server Room Equipment and
the Access Control Equipment in its "as-is" condition, and Sublandlord is not
making any representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Server
Room Equipment and/or the Access Control Equipment. Subtenant agrees that
Sublandlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims arising in
connection with Subtenant's use of the Server Room Equipment and/or the Access
Control Equipment, and Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord
harmless from any such claims. Subtenant shall return to Sublandlord the Server
Room Equipment and the Access Control Equipment on the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease in the same condition as same were in on the date
the Sublease Premises were first made available by Sublandlord to Subtenant,
reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted, unless Subtenant
purchases the Server Room Equipment and/or the Access Control Equipment at the
end of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof. Subtenant may install additional
software to the Access Control Equipment so that the equipment recognizes only
Subtenant's authorized personnel for access to the Subleased Premises (to the
exclusion of any of Sublandlord's personnel), and may issue access
control/identification cards using the Access

                                        6

<PAGE>

Control Equipment that identifies Subtenant. During the Term of the Sublease,
the Server Room Equipment and the Access Control Equipment shall remain the
property of Sublandlord. Prior to the end of the term of this Sublease, and
regardless of whether Subtenant elects to remain in the Sublease Premises
following the Sublease Expiration Date pursuant to a separate agreement with
Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall work together, in good faith, to
develop a removal plan for the Server Room Equipment and the Access Control
Equipment that is reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and Subtenant in order
to minimize the disruption to Subtenant's business operations in the Sublease
Premises and will allow Sublandlord to have the Server Room Equipment and the
Access Control Equipment removed prior to the end of the Term, unless
Sublandlord elects to sell, and Subtenant elects to purchase, the Server Room
Equipment and/or the Access Control Equipment in accordance with this paragraph
as of the Sublease Expiration Date. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written
notice of Sublandlord's timetable for removing the Server Room Equipment and the
Access Control Equipment and its determination as to whether Sublandlord desires
to sell the Server Room Equipment and the Access Control Equipment to Subtenant
no earlier than one hundred eighty (180), and no later than at least one hundred
twenty (120), days prior to the Sublease Expiration Date ("Removal Notice").
Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord of its election to purchase
the Server Room Equipment and/or the Access Control Equipment within ten (10)
days of receipt of the Removal Notice. If Subtenant elects to purchase the
Server Room Equipment and/or the Access Control Equipment, Sublandlord and
Subtenant shall attempt to agree upon the fair market value of the equipment
being purchased by Subtenant using reasonable good faith efforts. If Sublandlord
and Subtenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following
Subtenant's written notice (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then the parties
shall submit the dispute to arbitration as provided in Paragraph 11 (a) through
(e), with appropriate modifications to refer to the equipment being purchased.

                  13.      Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease.

                           (a)      This Sublease is and at all times shall be
subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and, to the extent that the Master
Lease is also subject and subordinate to any instruments, this Sublease shall be
subject and subordinate to such instruments. Subject to the modifications set
forth in this Sublease, the terms of the Master Lease are incorporated herein by
reference, and shall, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant (as if they were
Landlord and Tenant, respectively, under the Master Lease) constitute the terms
of this Sublease except to the extent that they are inapplicable to,
inconsistent with, or modified by, the terms of this Sublease. In the event of
any inconsistencies between the terms and provisions of the Master Lease and the
terms and provisions of this Sublease, the terms and provisions of this Sublease
shall govern. Subtenant acknowledges that it has reviewed the Master Lease and
is familiar with the terms and conditions thereof. For the purposes of this
Sublease and with respect to the Sublease Premises only, wherever in the Master
Lease the term "Landlord" is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublandlord and
wherever in the Master Lease the word "Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to
mean Subtenant herein.

                           (b)      For the purposes of incorporation herein,
the terms of the Master Lease are subject to the following additional
modifications:

                                        7

<PAGE>

                                    (i)      In all provisions of the Master
Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for
purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent
of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of
both Sublandlord and Landlord.

                                    (ii)     In all provisions of the Master
Lease requiring Tenant to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide Landlord with
evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be
required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same
to both Landlord and Sublandlord. In any such instance, the determination of
Landlord as to whether such evidence, certificate or other matter or thing is
satisfactory shall be determinative.

                                    (iii)    Sublandlord shall have no
obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Sublease Premises after any
destruction or taking by eminent domain; provided, however, in the event the
Sublease Premises or any portion of the Building necessary for Subtenant's
occupancy are damaged by fire, earthquake or other casualty, and if the time
estimated by Landlord to repair or restore the Sublease Premises or any portion
of the Building necessary for Subtenant's occupancy exceeds ninety (90) days,
Subtenant may elect to terminate this Sublease within thirty days after
Landlord's notice or determination as of a date designated by Subtenant in a
written notice to Sublandlord, in which event the right of first offer
provisions of this Section 11 shall be inapplicable and the date of termination
of this Sublease shall be deemed the Sublease Expiration Date; provided,
however, that Subtenant shall have no right to terminate this Sublease under
this provision to the extent that the damage was caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Subtenant or its agents, contractors, employees,
subcontractors, licensees or invitees.

                                    (iv)     Subtenant shall not be entitled to
any allowances (design, construction, moving or any other allowances) granted to
Tenant under the Master Lease.

                                    (v)      With respect to any obligation of
Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Master Lease grants
to Sublandlord a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the
Master Lease, except as otherwise provided herein, Subtenant shall have (a) two
(2) fewer days to perform obligations for which the Master Lease provides a
period of less than fifteen (15) days and (b) five (5) fewer days to perform
obligations for which the Master Lease provides a period of fifteen (15) days or
more, including, without limitation, curing any defaults.

                           (c)      The following provisions of the Master Lease
are specifically excluded:

                                    (i)      Original Lease: Paragraphs 4, 5(a),

                           (d)      Except for the terms of the Master Lease
expressly excluded from incorporation into this Sublease, Sublandlord hereby
assigns to Subtenant all of Sublandlord's rights and privileges to which
Sublandlord, as Tenant, is entitled under the Master Lease to the extent such
rights and privileges are applicable to the Sublease Premises. Sublandlord
agrees to cooperate with Subtenant, at no out-of-pocket cost and expense to
Sublandlord, in obtaining any required consents or authorizations of Landlord
reasonably requested by Subtenant in connection with its use and occupancy of
the Sublease Premises. To the extent Landlord agrees, Sublandlord authorizes
Subtenant to communicate directly with Landlord with respect to any services or
work requested or required by Subtenant in the Sublease Premises to the extent
Landlord is required to provide same pursuant to the Master Lease. Sublandlord
agrees to not unreasonably withhold its consent to any work or services
requested by Subtenant of Landlord in or to the Sublease Premises, to the extent
the consent of Sublandlord, as Tenant under the Master Lease, is required or
requested.

                           (e)      Subtenant acknowledges that the term of the
Master Lease is currently scheduled to expire on January 31, 2005.
Notwithstanding any option to renew or right to lease additional premises
contained in the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to Subtenant
to (I) renew or extend the term of the Master Lease, or (II) sublease any
additional premises to Subtenant.

                  14.      Subtenant's Obligations.

                           (a)      Subtenant covenants and agrees that all
obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease shall be done or performed by
Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises, except as otherwise provided by
this Sublease, and Subtenant's obligations shall run to Sublandlord and Landlord
as Sublandlord may determine to be appropriate or be required by the respective
interests of Sublandlord and Landlord. Anything contained in any provision of
this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant agrees, with respect to
the Sublease Premises, to comply with and remedy any default in this Sublease or
the Master Lease which is Subtenant's obligation to cure, within the period
allowed to Sublandlord under this Sublease, even if such time period is shorter
than the period otherwise allowed under the Master Lease due to the fact that
notice of default from Sublandlord to Subtenant is given after the corresponding
notice of default from Landlord to Sublandlord (any such default not cured
within the time period allowed to Subtenant under this Sublease and the Master
Lease as incorporated by the terms of this Sublease, shall, upon notice to
Subtenant from Sublandlord, be deemed an "Event of Default" hereunder). Provided
Subtenant is given notice and the opportunity to cure such act or omission in
accordance with the terms of the Master Lease as incorporated into this
Sublease, Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord, and hold it harmless, from
and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred as a result of the
non-performance, non-observance or non-payment of any of Sublandlord's
obligations under the Master Lease which, as a result of this Sublease, became
an obligation of Subtenant. If Subtenant makes any payment to Sublandlord
pursuant to this indemnity, Subtenant shall be subrogated to the rights of
Sublandlord concerning said payment. Subtenant shall not do, nor permit to be
done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be,
a default under this Sublease or the Master Lease.

                                        9

<PAGE>

                           (b)      Subtenant agrees to forward to Sublandlord,
promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices received by Subtenant from
Landlord or from any governmental authorities.

                           (c)      In the event Subtenant shall be in default
of any covenant of, or shall fail to honor any obligation under this Sublease,
Sublandlord shall have available to it against Subtenant all of the remedies
available (i) to Landlord under the Master Lease in the event of a similar
default on the part of Sublandlord thereunder or (ii) at law.

                  15.      Sublandlord's Obligations.

                           (a)      Sublandlord shall send to Subtenant promptly
following receipt thereof from the Landlord all notices of default under the
Master Lease that are based on a condition in, or the act or omission of
Subtenant in the use or occupancy, of the Sublease Premises, or on the failure
to perform of any obligation of Tenant assumed by Subtenant under this Sublease.

                           (b)      Sublandlord covenants and agrees to pay all
fixed rent and additional rent payable by Sublandlord pursuant to the Master
Lease and to otherwise not violate any of the terms and provisions of the Master
Lease, or to waive any of its rights as Tenant thereunder, to the extent same
would adversely affect Subtenant's rights under this Sublease, and agrees to
indemnify Subtenant, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred as a result of Sublandlord's breach hereof. Sublandlord shall not amend
or modify the terms of the Master Lease insofar as the same may adversely affect
Subtenant's rights and obligations under this Sublease without the prior written
consent of Subtenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that Subtenant's consent shall not be required for amendments
or modifications in connection with rights granted to Tenant under the Master
Lease. Subject to the foregoing, in the event the Master Lease is terminated for
any reason, this Sublease shall automatically cease and terminate as of the date
the Master Lease is so terminated and upon such termination, for reasons other
than Subtenant's default under this Sublease, all rent and other charges and
sums due and owing hereunder shall terminate.

                           (c)      Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall be
entitled to receive all services and repairs to be provided by Landlord to
Sublandlord under the Master Lease. Subtenant shall look solely to Landlord for
all such services and shall not, under any circumstances, seek nor require
Sublandlord to perform any of such services, nor shall Subtenant make any claim
upon Sublandlord for any damages which may arise by reason of Landlord's default
under the Master Lease. In the event Sublandlord is prevented from performing
any of its obligations under this Sublease by a breach by Landlord of a term of
the Master Lease, then Sublandlord's sole obligation in regard to its obligation
under this Sublease shall be to use reasonable efforts in diligently pursuing
the correction or cure by Landlord of Landlord's breach. Except as hereinafter
provided, no condition resulting from a default by Landlord shall entitle
Subtenant to receive any reduction in or abatement of the Rent provided for in
this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the
event of a "Service Failure" (as that term is defined in the Master Lease) that
continues for a period of not more than thirty (30) consecutive days,
Subtenant's sole remedy shall be to receive an abatement of Base Rental and

                                       10

<PAGE>

additional rent payable under this Sublease in accordance with Paragraph 20(d)
of the Master Lease, as if and to the extent that Sublandlord would have been
able to receive such a rent abatement with respect to the Sublease Premises (and
assuming that the Sublease Premises was the entire premises subject to the
Master Lease), and solely with respect to a Service Failure that continues for
no longer than the period described herein, such a condition shall not
constitute, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, an eviction, actual or
constructive, of Subtenant or excuse Subtenant from the performance or
observance of any of its other obligations to be performed or observed under
this Sublease. In furtherance of the foregoing, Subtenant does hereby waive any
cause of action and any right to bring any action for damages against
Sublandlord by reason of any act or omission of Landlord under the Master Lease.

                           (d)      Sublandlord certifies to Subtenant that no
uncured event of Default by Sublandlord exists under the Master Lease, it has
not received any notice of default under the Master Lease that remains uncured,
and that to its actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or investigation),
(i) there is no violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force with respect to the
occupancy or build-out of the Sublease Premises that would materially and
adversely affect the ability of Subtenant to occupy the Sublease Premises for
general office use, and (ii) no release of Hazardous Materials or violation of
Environmental Laws has occurred during the term of Sublandlord's occupancy of
the Sublease Premises.

                  16.      Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Subtenant pays all of the
Rent due hereunder and performs all of Subtenant's other obligations hereunder,
Sublandlord shall do nothing to affect Subtenant's right to peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Sublease Premises.

                  17.      Notices. All notices, demands and requests shall be
in writing and shall be sent either by hand delivery or by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express), in either case
return receipt requested, to the address of the appropriate party. Notices,
demands and requests so sent shall be deemed given when the same are received.
Notices to Sublandlord shall be sent to the attention of:

                  18.      Broker. Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and
warrant to each other that, with the exception of Cushman & Wakefield of
California, Inc. and TRI Commercial ("Brokers"), no brokers were involved in
connection with the negotiation or consummation of this Sublease. Sublandlord
agrees to pay the commission of the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement.
Each party agrees to indemnify the other, and hold it harmless, from and against
any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by said party as a result of a breach of
this representation and warranty by the other party.

                  19.      Consent of Landlord. Paragraph 16 of the Original
Lease requires Sublandlord to obtain the written consent of Landlord to this
Sublease. Sublandlord shall solicit Landlord's consent to this Sublease promptly
following the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and
Subtenant, however Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty that
Landlord's consent will be obtained. In the event Landlord's written consent to
this Sublease has not been obtained within ten (10) days after the execution
hereof, then this Sublease may be terminated by either party hereto upon notice
to the other, and upon such termination neither party hereto shall have any
further rights against or obligations to the other party hereto.

                  20.      Termination of the Master Lease. If for any reason
the term of the Master Lease shall terminate prior to the Sublease Expiration
Date, this Sublease shall automatically be terminated and, except as otherwise
provided in Paragraph 15(b) above, Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant
by reason thereof.

                  21.      Assignment and Subletting.

                           (a)      Any assignment of this Sublease or sublease
of all or a portion of the Sublease Premises shall be subject to the receipt of
Landlord's and Sublandlord's consent, which consent by Sublandlord shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Master
Lease; provided, however, Sublandlord shall not have the right of recapture
provided in the Master Lease. Any assignment or sublease by Subtenant without
Sublandlord's prior written consent shall be void. Subtenant shall advise
Sublandlord by notice of (i) Subtenant's intent to assign this Sublease or
sublease all or a portion of the Sublease Premises, (ii) the name of the
proposed assignee or sublessee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord that such proposed assignee or sublessee is comparable in
reputation, stature and financial condition to tenants then leasing comparable
space in the Building, and (iii) the terms of the proposed assignment or
sublease. Sublandlord shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice,
and any additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed
assignee's financial responsibility, elect one of the following:

                                       12

<PAGE>

                                    (i)      Consent to such proposed
assignment;

                                    (ii)     Refuse such consent, which refusal
shall be on reasonable grounds.

                           (b)      In the event that Subtenant requests
Sublandlord's consent to an assignment or a sublease under the provisions of
this Section 21, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord's reasonable processing costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in giving such consent, including any
amounts required to be paid to Landlord in connection with same. Notwithstanding
any permitted assignment, Subtenant shall at all times remain directly,
primarily and fully responsible and liable for all payments owed by Subtenant
under the Sublease and for compliance with all obligations under the terms,
provisions and covenants of the Sublease. If for any proposed assignment,
Subtenant receives Rent or other consideration, either initially or over the
term of the assignment, in excess of the Rent required by this Sublease, after a
deduction for the following: (i) any brokerage commission paid by Subtenant in
connection therewith and (ii) any reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with
preparing and negotiating an assignment document ("Profit"), Subtenant shall pay
to Sublandlord as additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of such Profit or other
consideration received by Subtenant within five (5) days of its receipt by
Subtenant or, in the event the assignee makes payment directly to Sublandlord,
Sublandlord shall refund fifty percent (50%) of the Profit to Subtenant after
deducting (i) and (ii) above.

                  22.      Limitation of Estate. Subtenant's estate shall in all
respects be limited to, and be construed in a fashion consistent with, the
estate granted to Sublandlord by Landlord.

                  23.      Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged
that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this
Sublease and this Sublease supersedes and cancels any and all previous
negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any,
between the parties hereto or displayed by Sublandlord to Subtenant with respect
to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or
construe this Sublease. This Sublease, and the exhibits and schedules attached
hereto, contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and
agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and
occupancy of the Sublease Premises and shall be considered to be the only
agreements between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents. None
of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease can be
modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.
All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged
into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties
between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based
totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Sublease.

                            FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this "AMENDMENT"), dated as of November
30, 1999, is made by and between 300 CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATES, LLC, a California
limited liability company ("LANDLORD") and THE GAP, INC., a Delaware corporation
("TENANT").

                                    Recitals

         A.       Landlord and Tenant's predecessor-in-interest, buzzsaw.com,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("BUZZSAW"), entered into that certain Office Lease
(the "ORIGINAL LEASE"), dated September 17, 1999, with respect to certain
premises (the "EXISTING PREMISES") commonly referred to as Suite 300, consisting
of approximately 15,311 rentable square feet on the third floor ("SUITE 300"),
and Suite 400, consisting of approximately 15,326 rentable square feet on the
fourth floor ("SUITE 400"), of the building (the "BUILDING") known as 300
California Street, San Francisco, California.

         B.       Concurrently with Landlord and Tenant's execution of this
Amendment, buzzsaw has assigned all of its rights, and Tenant has assumed all of
buzzsaw's obligations, under the Original Lease, pursuant to that certain
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the
"ASSIGNMENT"). Landlord has consented to the Assignment in accordance with, and
subject to, the terms and conditions of that certain Consent to Assignment,
dated as of even date herewith. In addition, concurrently with Landlord and
Tenant's execution of this Amendment, Tenant is entering into that certain
Sublease Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the "SUBLEASE"), whereby
Tenant is subleasing the Expansion Premises (as such term is defined in this
Amendment) to buzzsaw, all as more particularly set forth in the Sublease.
Landlord has consented to the Sublease in accordance with, and subject to, the
terms and conditions of that certain Consent to Sublease, dated as of even date
herewith.

         C.       In connection with the assignment of the Lease to Tenant,
Tenant has requested, and Landlord has agreed, that the Existing Premises be
increased in size and that certain other changes be made to the terms and
conditions of the Original Lease, all as more particularly set forth herein. The
Original Lease, as amended hereby, is referred to herein as the "LEASE."

                                    Agreement

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other
good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  1.       Premises. Effective as of the date hereof, the
Existing Premises shall be expanded to include Suite 200 of the Building,
consisting of approximately 15,246 rentable square feet and generally depicted
on the preliminary floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "EXPANSION
PREMISES"). From and after the date hereof, the term "PREMISES" as used in the
Lease shall mean the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises, collectively,
and Tenant's

<PAGE>

Share shall be increased, pursuant to Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Lease, to
reflect the addition of the Expansion Premises.

                  2.       Alterations. The entire existing Section 12 of the
Lease shall be redesignated Section 12(a) and the following shall be inserted as
Section 12(b):

         (b)      Tenant acknowledges that if more than two floors of the
         Premises are renovated prior to the second anniversary of the
         Commencement Date, significant seismic and structural upgrades to the
         Building will be required. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary in this Lease or the schedules or exhibits to this Lease,
         prior to January 15, 2002, Tenant may make alterations, additions or
         improvements, including initial tenant improvements, to two full floors
         of the Premises only. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, prior to
         the Commencement Date, as to which full floors (the "Improved Floors")
         Tenant will improve prior to January 15, 2002. Tenant shall keep all
         other areas of the Premises (collectively, the "Unimproved Premises")
         in their "as-is" condition as of the date of this Lease, and shall not
         permit any alteration, addition or improvement work or preparation for
         such work, including obtaining permits for such work, in or with
         respect to such areas prior to January 15, 2002; provided, however,
         that Tenant shall be entitled to repaint and recarpet such areas prior
         to January 15, 2002, subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which
         shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Tenant breaches its
         obligations under this paragraph, without limiting the generality of
         Tenant's obligations and Landlord's rights as set forth elsewhere in
         this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from and against all
         losses, costs, claims, damages and expenses, including without
         limitation the cost of any required upgrades to the Building, resulting
         from such breach.

                  3.       Tenant Improvements. Paragraph 1(a) of Exhibit C to
the Original Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         (a)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to a
         one-time tenant improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement
         Allowance") in the amount of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) for each
         rentable square foot of each of the Improved Floors of the Initial
         Premises and Two Dollars ($2.00) for each rentable square foot of the
         Unimproved Premises, to be applied toward payment of any tenant
         improvement costs described below (the "Tenant Improvements"), subject
         to the provisions of Section 12(b) of the Lease.

         In addition, provided that Tenant has irrevocably exercised its
         Extension Option, extending the term of the Lease for an additional
         five (5) years and subject to the provisions of the Lease, including,
         without limitation, Section 12(b), Tenant shall be entitled to an
         additional one-time tenant improvement allowance of Twenty-Three
         Dollars ($23.00) for each rentable square foot of the Unimproved
         Premises (the "Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance") to be applied
         toward the

                                       2

<PAGE>

         payment of any tenant improvement costs of the type described below
         (the "Additional Tenant Improvements"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         and without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 12(b)
         of the Lease, in no event shall any work be commenced, any permits
         obtained or requested or any applications for permits submitted with
         respect to the Additional Tenant Improvements prior to the second
         anniversary of the Commencement Date. In all other respects, the
         Additional Tenant Improvements shall be constructed and the Additional
         Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed in accordance with this
         Agreement, with each reference to Tenant Improvements being deemed a
         reference to Additional Tenant Improvements and each reference to
         Tenant Improvement Allowance being deemed a reference to the Additional
         Tenant Improvement Allowance.

         In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant
         to this Agreement in a total amount that exceeds the Tenant Improvement
         Allowance and, if applicable, the Additional Tenant Improvement
         Allowance.

                  4.       Base Rent. Schedule 3 to the Original Lease shall be

<PAGE>

                  9.       Option to Renew. The exercise of any Extension Option
by Tenant shall be irrevocable and shall cover the entire Premises leased by
Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

                  10.      Right of First Offer.

                           (a)      Provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under the Lease at the time of the exercise of any
such right or at any time thereafter until delivery of possession of the space
to Tenant, and subject to any and all rights of other tenants in the Building
with respect to such space (including renewal and extension rights and rights of
first offer, first negotiation, first refusal or other expansion rights)
existing as of the date of this Amendment, Tenant shall have a one-time right of
first offer to lease the entire sixth (6th) floor of the Building.

                           (b)      Such right of first offer (i) may only be
exercised with respect to vacant space or space that has been previously leased
and as to which an existing tenant of the Building has elected not to extend its
lease or re-lease such space and (ii) may only be exercised with respect to all
of the space being offered by Landlord. If any space qualifying for such right
of first offer becomes available, Landlord shall offer to lease such space to
Tenant at the same rent and on the same terms that are applicable to the
Expansion Premises, provided that the tenant improvement allowance shall be
Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per rentable square foot, which allowance shall
only be available if Tenant has irrevocably exercised its Extension Option.
Tenant shall have five (5) business days following receipt of Landlord's offer
with respect to any such space within which to notify Landlord in writing of its
intention to lease such space, and such notice, if given by Tenant, shall
constitute an acceptance of Landlord's offer. If Tenant exercises such right of
first offer, the space to be leased by Tenant shall be leased on the same terms
and conditions as are contained in the Lease with respect to the Expansion
Premises, and the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease to include
such space in the Premises and otherwise to provide for the leasing of such
space. If Tenant fails so to exercise Tenant's right of first offer within such
five (5) business day period, Landlord may thereafter lease such space to other
prospective tenants.

                           (c)      If Tenant does not lease the right of first
offer space from Landlord when it is first offered to Tenant by Landlord, then
this right of first offer shall terminate and Tenant shall have no further
rights to lease any of the right of first offer space.

                           (d)      If not effectively exercised prior to
January 31, 2005, this right of first offer shall expire on such date,
regardless of whether Tenant has had an opportunity to exercise such right prior
to such date.

                  11.      Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
Agreement. As provided in Section 24 of the Lease, Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a
non-disturbance agreement from the holder of any existing encumbrance on the
Building in a form reasonably acceptable to such holder of the encumbrance;
provided, however, that the effectiveness of this Lease shall not be affected by
Landlord's failure to obtain such an agreement.

                  12.      Default. Section 27(iii) is amended and restated in

document, estoppel certificate or financial statement requested by Landlord
within three (3) days after the expiration of the applicable time period
specified in Paragraphs 24 and 33."

                  13.      Brokers. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord
that in the negotiating or making of this Amendment neither Tenant nor anyone
acting on Tenant's behalf has dealt with any real estate broker or finder, other
than TRI Commercial, who might be entitled to a fee or commission for this
Amendment. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claim
or claims, including costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by Landlord,
asserted by any broker or finder, other than TRI Commercial, for a fee or
commission other than the foregoing, based upon any dealings with or statements
made by Tenant or its representatives.

                  14.      Ratification of Lease. The Original Lease, as
modified by this Amendment, remains in full force and effect, and Landlord and
Tenant hereby ratify the same. All references in the Original Lease to the
"Lease" shall mean the Original Lease as amended hereby. This Amendment shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit to the parties and their respective
successors and assigns.

Amendment as of the date and year first above written.

period Landlord shall revise its estimate of Tenant's Share of said expenses for

amount of Tenant's Share of such actual costs. Landlord shall pay to Tenant the
amount of such excess within 15 days after date of delivery of such statement to
Tenant, and, if the amounts theretofore paid by Tenant on account of Landlord's
estimate shall be less than the amount of Tenant's Share of such actual costs,

date of delivery of such statement to Tenant. Landlord, at its election, may

accomplished through the delivery of substitute Letters of Credit. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Letter of Credit shall provide for
any reduction in its face value other than those resulting from draws on such
Letter of Credit.

     (c)  Landlord shall be entitled to draw any portion or all of the amount
under the Letter of Credit if either (i) an Event of Default occurs under the
Lease, or (ii) Tenant does not deliver to Landlord a replacement letter of
credit from Issuer or another financial institution satisfactory to Landlord in
the amount and form of the initial Letter of Credit no later than one month
before the expiration date of the then existing Letter of Credit, or (iii) if
upon a proposed sale or lease of the Building, Tenant does not deliver to any
new landlord a replacement Letter of Credit pursuant to the provisions of (e)
below. The Letter of Credit shall provide for partial draws by Landlord in
accordance with this paragraph. Any such draws when made shall be deemed applied
to the amounts owing under this Lease (in such order as Landlord may elect). In
the event of any draw under the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall within five (5)

to be drawn under the Letter of Credit to be increased by an amount equal to the
amount drawn.

the Letter of Credit and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be
bound by any such assignment or encumbrance or attempted assignment or
encumbrance.

if requested by Landlord in writing, at its sole cost and expense within ten
(10) business days after receiving such request, cause the issuing bank of the
Letter of Credit to consent to the assignment or to issue a substitute letter
of credit on identical terms to the Letter of Credit, other than the stated
beneficiary, from the same issuing bank or, if the transferee so requests, from
another bank acceptable to such transferee in its reasonable discretion, naming
such transferee as the beneficiary thereof, upon delivery by Landlord of the
then outstanding letter of Credit

16.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
         (a)      LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Landlord's and Tenant's agreement with
regard to Tenant's right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Premises
is as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 16. Except upon Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not (subject to Landlord's rights under
Paragraph 16 (b), below) be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned,

shall, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law
or otherwise, be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
transferred by Tenant or Tenant's legal representatives or successors in
interest (collectively an "assignment") and neither the Premises nor any part
thereof shall be sublet or be used or occupied for any purpose by anyone other
than Tenant (collectively, a "sublease"). Tenant agrees that any instrument by

sublet the assigned or sublet space without Landlord's prior written consent and
that the assignee or subtenant will comply with all of the provisions of this
Lease and that Landlord may enforce the Lease provisions directly against such
assignee or subtenant. Any assignment or subletting without Landlord's prior
written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be void and shall constitute an

other remedies provided in Paragraph 27 of this Lease.

         If Landlord approves of an assignment or subletting hereunder and this
Lease contains any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal,
rights of first negotiation or any other rights or options pertaining to
additional space in the Building, such rights and/or options shall not run to
the subtenant or assignee, it being agreed by the parties hereto that any such,
rights and options are personal to Tenant named herein and may not be
transferred.

         In no event shall Tenant assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or

Landlord's consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.

         Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs incurred in connection
with Tenant's request to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, regardless
whether or not the Landlord consents to the proposed transfer.

         If Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the transfer (as a
consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions) of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interest of the voting
stock of Tenant issued and outstanding as of the date hereof or of the
partnership interests in Tenant, as the case may be, shall not constitute an
assignment for which Landlord's consent is required as provided in this
Paragraph 16. provided, however, that if Tenant is a publicly traded
corporation, transfers of Tenant's stock through a nationally recognized stock
exchange, including an initial public offering of Tenant's stock, shall

<PAGE>

not constitute an assignment requiring Landlord's consent in addition.
Tenant may assign or sublet this Lease, without Landlord's consent, to any
corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Tenant, or to any corporation or other entity resulting from a
merger, reorganization or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity
which acquires a controlling interest in Tenant's stock or substantially all of
the assets of Tenant as a going concern (collectively, an "AFFILIATE"), provided
that, as to an assignment to an Affiliate, the Affiliate assumes in writing all
of Tenant's remaining obligations under this Lease and that Tenant gives
Landlord such reasonable information as Landlord shall reasonably request
regarding the Affiliate.

         (b)      PROCEDURE. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or any
interest therein or sublet all or part of the Premises (each hereinafter a
"transfer"), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof designating the
space proposed to be transferred and the terms proposed. Landlord shall have the
prior right and option (to be exercised by written notice to Tenant given within
thirty (30) business days after receipt of Tenant's notice) to do any of the
following:

         (1)      Landlord may terminate this Lease, or in the case of a
sublease of less than all of the Premises, terminate this Lease as to that part
of the Premises proposed to be so sublet, either (i) on the condition that the
proposed transferee immediately enter into a direct lease of the Premises with
Landlord (or, in the case of a partial sublease, a lease of the portion proposed
to be so sublet) on the same terms and conditions contained in Tenant's notice,
or (ii) so that Landlord is thereafter free to lease the Premises (or. in the
case of a partial sublease, the portion proposed to be so sublet) to whomever it
pleases on whatever terms are acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord
elects to so terminate this Lease, then if such termination is conditioned upon
the execution of a lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee. Tenant's
obligations under this Lease shall not be terminated until such transferee
executes a new lease with Landlord, enters into possession, and commences the
payment of rent. If Landlord elects simply to terminate this Lease (or, in the
case of a partial sublease, to terminate this Lease as to the portion to be so
sublet), the Lease shall so terminate in its entirely'(or as to the space to be
so sublet) fifteen (15) days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing of
such election. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be released from any further
obligation accruing under this Lease after the date of such termination if it is
terminated in its entirety, or shall be released from any further obligation
accruing under the Lease after the date of such termination with respect to the
space proposed to be sublet in the case of a proposed partial sublease. In the
case of a partial termination of the Lease, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of
Taxes and Operating Costs shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same
relationship to the original amount thereof as the rentable area of that part of
the Premises which remains subject to the Lease bears to the original rentable
area of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a cancellation and
release with respect to the Lease to effect such termination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing. Tenant may sublease up to an aggregate of 10,000 rentable square
feet of the Premises for a term of no more than one year, including any renewals
or extensions of such term, without triggering Landlord's termination right
hereunder. In the event the term of such a sublease is extended or renewed such
that the aggregate term exceeds one year. Landlord shall be entitled to exercise
its right of termination hereunder upon such renewal or extension.

         (2)      In the event of any proposed subletting, regardless of whether
the term is for more than or less than one year or involves more than or less
than 10,000 square feet of the Premises, Landlord may elect to sublet such space
from Tenant at the rental and other terms set forth in Tenant's notice to
Landlord setting forth the proposed terms of such subletting, in which event,
Landlord shall have the further right to sublet to on such terms and conditions
as it may desire.

         (3)      Landlord may elect to permit Tenant to assign the Lease or
sublease such part of the Premises, in which event Tenant may do so, but without
being released of its liability for the performance of all its obligations under
the Lease.

         (c)      DOCUMENTATION. Without limiting any other conditions stated in
this Paragraph 16, no permitted subletting by Tenant shall be effective until
there has been delivered to Landlord a counterpart of the sublease in which the
subtenant agrees to be and remain jointly and severally liable with Tenant for
the payment of rent pertaining to the sublet space and for the performance of
all of the terms and provisions of this Lease: provided, however, that the
subtenant shall be liable to Landlord for rent only in the amount set forth in
the sublease. Without limiting any other conditions stated in this Paragraph 16,
no permitted assignment shall be effective unless and until there has been
delivered to Landlord a counterpart of the assignment in which the assignee
assumes all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease arising on or after the
date of the assignment. The failure or refusal of a subtenant or assignee to

<PAGE>

(???) liability as set forth above.

17.      INDEMNIFICATION.
         Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend against and hold harmless
Landlord and the holders of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the
Building, and each of their constituent shareholders, partners, members or other

property, improvements and alterations in or about the Premises or the building
or the Building that is caused by or results from risks insured against under
any fire and extended coverage insurance policies actually carried by such
releasing party or deemed or required hereunder to be carried by such releasing
party; provided, however, that such waiver shall be limited to the extent of the
net insurance proceeds payable by the relevant insurance company with respect to
such loss or damage. For purposes of this Paragraph 19, Tenant shall be deemed
to be carrying the fire and extended coverage insurance policies required

to carry standard fire and extended coverage policies on the building in which
the Premises are located. Each party hereto shall cause each such fire and
extended coverage insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance
company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other
respective party and the other aforesaid released parties in connection with any
matter covered by such policy.

or water consumed by Tenant. The cost of any such meter and of the installation,
maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay
to Landlord promptly upon demand therefor the cost of all such excess water and
electric current consumed, as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for

additional expense incurred in keeping account of the excess electric current or
water so consumed.

Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, liability of
consequential damages or loss of business by Tenant or, except as provided
herein, entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent or to terminate this Lease.

                  (1)      If any Service Failure not caused by Tenant or its
representatives prevents Tenant from reasonably using a material portion of the
Premises and Tenant in fact ceases to use such portion of the Premises, Tenant
shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and additional rent with respect
to the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of
such Service Failure in the following circumstances: (i) if Landlord fails to
commence reasonable efforts to remedy the Service Failure within ten (10)
business days following the occurrence of the Service Failure and such failure
has persisted and continuously prevented Tenant from using a material portion of
the Premises during that period, the abatement of rent shall commence on the
eleventh business day following the Service Failure and continue until Tenant is
no longer so prevented from using such portion of the Premises; and (ii) if the
Service Failure in all events is not remedied within thirty (30) days following
the occurrence of the Service Failure and Tenant in fact does not use such
portion of the Premises for an uninterrupted period of thirty (30) days or more
by reason of such Service Failure, the abatement of rent shall commence no later
than the thirty-first clay following the occurrence of the Service Failure and
continue until Tenant is no longer so prevented from using such portion of the
Premises.

then current rent until such time as Landlord and Tenant agree on the amount of
the rent abatement. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of
such abatement within ten (10) business days of the date they commence
negotiations regarding the abatement, then either party may submit the matter to
binding arbitration pursuant to Sections 1280 et seq. of the California Code of
Civil Procedure.

                  (4)      In addition to the foregoing provisions, if there is
a Service Failure not caused by Tenant or its representatives and such Service
Failure prevents Tenant from conducting its business in the Premises in the
manner in which Tenant intends to conduct such business, and (i) Landlord fails
to commence reasonable efforts to remedy the Service Failure within ninety (90)
days following the occurrence of the Service Failure, or (ii) the Service
Failure in all events is not remedied within one (1) year following its
occurrence and Tenant in fact does not conduct any business in the Premises for
an uninterrupted period of one (1) year or more, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notice delivered to Landlord within ten (10)
business days following the event described in clauses (i) or (ii) above giving
rise to the right to terminate.

                  (5)      Where the cause of a Service Failure is within the
control of a public utility or other public or quasi-public entity outside
Landlord's control, notification to such utility or entity of the Service
Failure and request to remedy the failure shall constitute "reasonable efforts"
by Landlord to remedy the Service Failure.

paid or the expense is incurred until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.

proceeds realized by Landlord on the disposal of any such property shall be
applied first to offset all expenses of storage and sale, then credited against
Tenant's outstanding obligations to Landlord under this Lease, and any balance
remaining after satisfaction of all obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall
be delivered to Tenant.

date of the casualty, specifying whether Landlord elects to terminate this Lease
as provided above and, if not, Landlord's estimate of the time required to

required to complete Landlord's repair obligations under this Lease is greater

taking will substantially impair Tenant's use of the Premises for more than 90
days, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this
Lease. If all or any part of the building of which the Premises are a part shall

interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such

         At any lime and from time to time, upon not more than ten (10) days
prior request by Landlord. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a statement certifying the date of commencement of this Lease, stating
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have
been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and
the date and nature of such modifications) and the dates to which the rent has
been paid, and selling forth such other matters as may reasonably be requested
by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any such statement delivered
pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee or the
beneficiary of any deed of trust or by any purchaser or prospective purchaser of
the Building. In addition, from time to time, upon Landlord's request, but in no
event more than one (1) time per year, Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord
financial statements reflecting Tenant's current financial condition and, if
rendered in the ordinary course of conducting Tenant's business, a copy of
Tenant's latest certified financial statements.

34.      RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM.
         All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under
any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole
cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay
any sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall
fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder and such
failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by

<PAGE>

Landlord. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, and without waiving any
default of Tenant or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant hereunder,
make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant's part to be made
or performed as provided herein. All sums so paid by the Landlord and all
necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the highest rate
allowed by law from the date of such payment by the Landlord, shall be paid to
Landlord forthwith on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of
nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in payment of
rent.

35.      LANDLORD'S DEFAULT AND TENANT'S REMEDIES.
         Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform any
of its obligations under this Lease and fails to cure such default within thirty
(30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the nature of such default
where such default could reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period,
or fails to commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
continuously with due diligence prosecute such cure to completion where such
default could not reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period. Tenant
waives the provisions of Section 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil
Code and/or any similar or successor law regarding Tenant's right to terminate
this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the
rent due under the Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief
from forfeiture under the laws of the State of California, or under any other
present or future law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.

36.      MORTGAGEE PROTECTIONS.
         Tenant agrees to give any holder of any lien or ground or underlying
lease covering any part of the Property ("Mortgagee"), by registered mail, a
copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such
notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of
rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee. If Landlord
shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days from the
effective date of such notice of default, then the Mortgagee shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default
cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary
to cure such default (including the time necessary to foreclose or otherwise
terminate its lien or lease, if necessary to effect such cure), and this Lease
shall not be terminated so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.

37.      ATTORNEY FEES.
         In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant in any way
related to this Lease, and whether involving contract and/or tort claims, the
non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs and expenses of any type, without restriction by statute, court
rule or otherwise, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any
action or proceeding (including any appeal and the enforcement of any judgment
or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated or prosecuted to final
judgment (collectively, "Fees"). The "prevailing party" shall be determined
based upon an assessment of which party's major arguments or positions taken in
the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by
compromise, settlement, abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense,
final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party's major
arguments or positions on major disputed issues. Any Fees incurred in enforcing
a judgment shall be recoverable separately from any other amount included in the
judgment and shall survive and not be merged in the judgment. The Fees shall be
deemed an "actual pecuniary loss" within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section
365(b)(1)(B), and notwithstanding the foregoing, all Fees incurred by either
party in any bankruptcy case filed by or against the other party, from and after
the order for relief until this Lease is rejected or assumed in such bankruptcy
case, will be "obligations of the debtor" as that phrase is used in Bankruptcy
Code Section 365(d)(3).

38.      SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.
         The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or mutual
cancellation thereof shall not work a merger and at the option of Landlord,
shall terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or at the option
of Landlord, may operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such
subleases or subtenancies.

39.      WAIVER.
         The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of performance of any term, covenant
or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than

<PAGE>

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.

40.      NOTICES.
         Any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder, shall be given
in writing and shall be delivered (a) in person, (b) by certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) by a commercial overnight courier that
guarantees next day delivery and provides a receipt, or (d) by telefacsimile or
telecopy, and such notices shall be addressed to Tenant or Landlord, as
applicable, at the addresses specified for each in the Basic Lease Information
or to such other address as either party may from time to time specify in
writing to the other party. Any notice shall be deemed delivered when actually
delivered, if such delivery is in person, three (3) business days after deposit
with the U.S. Postal Service, if such delivery is by certified mail, one (1)
business day after deposit with the overnight courier service, if such delivery
is by an overnight courier service, and one (1) business day after transmission,
if such delivery is by telefacsimile or telecopy. The foregoing shall in no
event prohibit notice from being given as provided by the federal or state Rules
of Civil Procedure, as the same may be amended from time to time.

41.      DEFINED TERMS AND MARGINAL HEADINGS.
         The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the
plural as well as the singular and words used in masculine gender shall include
the feminine and neuter. If there is than one Tenant the obligations hereunder
imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. The marginal headings and titles
to the paragraphs of the Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no
effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

42.      TIME AND APPLICABLE LAW.
         Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
provisions. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the
state in which the Premises are located.

 43.     SUCCESSORS.
         Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 16 hereof, the covenants and
conditions herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefits of
the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties
hereto.

44.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
         This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant
and no promises or representations, express or implied, either written or oral,
not herein set forth shall be binding upon or inure to the benefit of Landlord
or Tenant. This Lease shall not be modified by any oral agreement, either
express or implied and all modifications hereof shall be in writing and signed
by both Landlord and Tenant.

45.      LATE CHARGE.
         In the event Tenant or Landlord shall fail to pay any rent or other
sums due hereunder on the due-date herein provided, then and in that event the
amount so due and unpaid shall bear interest from and after due-date until paid
at an annual rate of interest equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) over
the prevailing "prime rate" announced from time to time by the Bank of America
NT&SA for purposes of pricing loans to major corporate borrowers or (ii) the
highest rate allowed by law for commercial obligations, which interest shall be
payable forthwith upon demand. In addition to such interest, with respect to any
installment of monthly rent not received by Landlord when due hereunder,
Landlord shall be entitled to collect from Tenant a one-time late collection
charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount to
compensate Landlord for Landlord's administrative and other costs and efforts in
connection therewith. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such five percent
(5%) late charge represents a reasonable approximation of Landlord's losses and
costs that would be incurred in connection with the late payment of such monthly
rent. (The foregoing shall be in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord).

46.      BROKERS.
         Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that, other
than Tenant's broker identified in the Basic Lease Information (the "Broker"),
no broker, agent, or finder negotiated or was instrumental in negotiating or
consummating this Lease on its behalf and that it knows of no broker, agent, or
finder, other than the Broker who are or might be entitled to a commission or
compensation in connection with this Lease. In the event of any such claims for
additional brokers' or finders' fees or commissions in connection with the
negotiation, execution or consummation of this Lease, then Landlord shall
indemnify, save harmless and defend Tenant from and against such claims and any
liability, loss, damage or expense (including attorneys' fees and costs) if they
shall be based upon any statement, representation or

<PAGE>

agreement by Landlord, and Tenant shall indemnify, save harmless and defend
Landlord from and against such claims, and any liability, loss, damage, or
expense (including attorneys' fees and costs) if they shall be based upon any
statement, representation or agreement made by Tenant. Landlord shall pay Broker
pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Broker.

47.      NO DISCRIMINATION.
         Tenant agrees for Tenant and Tenant's heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns and all persons claiming under or through Tenant, and
this Lease is made and accepted upon the following conditions: that there shall
be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on
account of race, color, creed, sex, religion, martial status, ancestry or
national origin (whether in the use, occupancy, subleasing, transferring, tenure
or enjoyment of the Premises or otherwise) nor shall Tenant or any person
claiming through or under Tenant establish or permit any such practice or
practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to or arising out of
the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or
under Tenant.

48.      OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM BUILDING RENOVATIONS

         (1)      Tenant understands and agrees that Owner may, at any time or
from time to time during the term of the Lease, perform substantial renovation
work in and to the Building or the mechanical systems serving the Building
(which work may include, but need not be limited to the repair or replacement
of the Building's exterior facade, exterior window glass, elevators, electrical
systems, air conditioning and ventilating systems, plumbing system, structural
systems; including seismic upgrades, common hallways, or lobby), any of which
work may require access to the same from within the Premises.

         (2)      Tenant agrees that:

                  (a)      Owner shall have access to the Premises at all
                           reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, for the
                           purpose of performing such work, and

                  (b)      Owner shall incur no liability to Tenant, nor shall
                           Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent on
                           account of any noise, vibration, or other disturbance
                           to Tenant's business at the Premises (provided that
                           Tenant is not denied access to said Premises) which
                           shall arise out of said access by Owner or by the
                           performance by Owner of the aforesaid renovations at
                           the Building.

         (3)      Owner shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not include
any obligation to employ labor at overtime rates) to avoid disruption of
Tenant's business during any such entry upon the Premises by Owner.

         (4)      It is expressly understood and agreed by and between Owner and
Tenant that if Tenant shall commence any action or proceeding seeking
injunctive, declaratory, or monetary relief in connection with the rights
reserved to Owner under this provision, or if Owner shall commence any action or
proceeding to obtain access to the Premises in accordance with this provision,
and if Owner shall prevail in any such action, then Tenant shall pay to Owner,
as additional rent under this Lease, a sum equal to all legal fees, costs and
disbursements incurred by Owner in any way related to or arising out of such
action or proceeding.

49.      SIGNAGE.
         No sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted or affixed
on any part of the inside or outside of the Building unless of such color, size
and style and in such place upon or in the Building as shall be first designated
by Landlord, but there shall be no obligation or duty on Landlord to allow any
sign, advertisement or notice to be inscribed, painted or affixed on any part of
the inside or outside of the Building. A directory in a conspicuous place, with
the names of Tenant, not to exceed one (1) name(s), shall be provided by
Landlord on a one time basis. Any necessary revision to such directory shall be
made by Landlord, at Tenant's expense, within a reasonable time after written
notice from Tenant of the change making the revision necessary. Landlord shall
have the right to remove all non-permitted signs without notice to Tenant and at
the expense of Tenant.

50.      TELEPHONE SERVICE.
         Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any
telephone equipment, including wiring, within the Premises or for providing
telephone service or connections from the utility to the Premises, except as
required by the express terms of this Lease.

<PAGE>

         Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telephone wiring
in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building without the Landlord's prior
consent. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the telephone
wiring in the Building due to the act, negligent or otherwise, of Tenant or any
employee, contractor or other agent of Tenant. Tenant shall have no access to
the telephone closets outside of the Premises, except in the manner and under
procedures established by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any
actual or suspected failure of telephone service to the Premises.

         If Landlord elects to perform telephone related work for the benefit of
all of the tenants of the Building generally, all costs incurred by Landlord in
the course of such work shall be an Operating Expense, as otherwise defined in
Paragraph 7 of this Lease, unless Landlord is reimbursed for such costs by other
tenants of the Building.

         Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims
against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss
of use of the Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of
telephone services to the Premises. Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless and
agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Landlord from and against any liability
for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or interruption of telephone
service to the Premises for any reason. Tenant agrees to obtain loss of rental
insurance adequate to cover any damage, loss or expense occasioned by the
interruption of telephone service.

51.      INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

52.      HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE DISCLOSURE.
         California law requires landlords to disclose to tenants the existence
of certain hazardous substances. Accordingly, the existence of gasoline and
other automotive fluids, maintenance fluids, copy fluids and other office
supplies and equipment, certain construction and finish materials, tobacco
smoke, cosmetics and other personal items, and asbestos containing materials
("ACM"), must be disclosed. Gasoline and other automotive fluids are found in
the parking area of the Building. Cleaning, lubricating and hydraulic fluids
used in the operation and maintenance of the Building are found in the utility
areas of the Building not generally accessible to tenants or the public. Many
Building occupants use copy machines and printers with associated fluids and
toners, and pens, markers, inks and office equipment that may contain hazardous
substances. Certain adhesives, paints and other construction materials and
finishes used in portions of the Building may contain hazardous substances.
Although smoking is prohibited in the public areas of the Building, these areas
may, from time to time, be exposed to tobacco smoke. Building occupants and
other persons entering the Building from time to time may use or carry
prescription and nonprescription drugs, perfumes, cosmetics and other
toiletries, and foods and beverages, some which may contain hazardous
substances. Certain floor tiles in the Building may also contain ACM. Landlord
has made no special investigation of the Premises with respect to hazardous
substances.

53.      AUTHORITY.
         If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, trust, association or other
entity, Tenant and each person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby
covenants and warrants that (a) Tenant is duly incorporated or otherwise
established or formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of
incorporation, establishment or formation, (b) Tenant is duly qualified to do
business in the State of California, (c) Tenant has full corporate, partnership,
trust, association or other appropriate power and authority to enter into this
Lease and to perform all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and (d) each person
(and all persons if more than one signs) signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant
is duly and validly authorized to do so.

54.      EXECUTION OF LEASE.
         The submission of this Lease to Tenant or its broker or other agent,
does not constitute an offer to Tenant to lease the premises. This Lease shall
have no force and effect until (a) it is executed and delivered by Tenant to
Landlord and (b) it is fully reviewed and executed by Landlord.

55.      PARKING.
         Landlord shall make available to Tenant the right to lease its pro-rata
share of parking spaces, or one per every 3,000 rentable square feet leased, in
the building garage at the prevailing market rate for the building garage.

56.      TEMPORARY PREMISES
         It is agreed and understood by Landlord and Tenant that Tenant may need
use of space in the building for its temporary occupancy while constructing the
Initial Tenant Improvements.

<PAGE>

To that end, Landlord agrees that Tenant may occupy the Second Floor of the
building (EXHIBIT B-1) on a month-to-month basis, prior to the Expansion
Commencement Date. Commencement for the Temporary Premises shall begin fourteen
(14) days after full lease execution and shall continue through January 14,
2000, or upon substantial completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements. During
the temporary occupancy, all terms of the Lease shall apply except Paragraph 1
("Premises"), Paragraph 3 ("Commencement Date.") and Paragraph 5 ("Base Rent").
The rent for the Temporary Space shall be Two Dollars ($2.00) per rentable
square foot per month for the period ending January 31, 2000, and Four Dollars
($4.00) per rentable square foot thereafter. Rent will be pro-rated for the
Temporary Premises on a daily basis, should the tenant occupy for a period less
than one (1) month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day
and year first above written.

                                   SCHEDULE 1

                                OPTION TO EXPAND

Tenant shall have a one-time Option to Expand by leasing the entire second floor
of the Building, consisting of approximately 15.246 rentable square feet
(depicted in Exhibit B-2 attached hereto), for a term commencing on the first
day of the twenty-fifth (25") month of the term of this Lease and expiring at
the expiration of the Initial Term of the Lease, upon the following terms:

Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention to exercise
its option ("Notice of Intent") and lease the second floor. The Notice of Intent
must be delivered to the Landlord no later than the end of the eighteenth (18th)
month of the Lease term. The Notice of Intent must also be accompanied with a
check equal to the first month's rent for the space.

The Rental Adjustment Schedule in Schedule 3 of the Lease and attached hereto
shall be substituted by the following schedule of rent:

                  Months 25-36             $168.238 per month
                  Months 37-48             $172.061 per month
                  Months 49-60             $175.885 per month

If Tenant fails to submit the Notice of intent by the end of the eighteenth
(18th) month of the Lease term. Landlord shall be free to lease such premises to
any party, without any further obligations to Tenant under this Option to
Expand.

This Option to Expand shall in any event terminate upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.

                                   SCHEDULE 2
                                OPTION TO RENEW

Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the term of this Lease ("Extension
Option") for an additional five (5) years ("Extended Term"), upon the further
terms and provisions provided below; (i) Tenant shall not be in default at the
time it exercises the Extension Option; (ii) the Lease shall be in full force
and effect at the time the Extension Option is exercised and at the time the
Extended Term is to commence; (iii) Tenant shall have delivered written notice
of its exercise of the Extension Option to Landlord not less than nine (9)
months prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease as specified in
Paragraph 3.

Upon Tenant's exercise of the Extension Option, and subject to the foregoing
conditions, the term of the Lease shall be extended for the Extended Term upon
all the terms and conditions hereof, except that (i) the Base Rent shall be as
provided below, (ii) the Base Year shall be the calendar year in which the
Extended Term commences, (iii) Tenant shall have no right to extend the term of
this Lease beyond the expiration of the Extended Term, and (iv) Tenant shall
take the space in "as-is" condition with no tenant improvements.

Not more than six (6) months nor less than five (5) months prior to the
commencement of the Extended Term. Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt in
good faith to determine and mutually agree upon the Base Rent to be paid during
such Extended Term. The Base Rent shall be based on the then fair market rent
for similar office projects in the San Francisco market ("Fair Market Rent").
If, one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of such Extended
Term, the parties have not reached an agreement, the parties shall enter into an
Appraisal to determine the Base Rent .

The Base Rent shall be determined as provided below. Each party shall appoint an
Appraiser (herein defined) and shall give notice to the other party of the
identity of the Appraiser no later than ninety (90) days prior to the
commencement of the Extended Term. For purposes hereof, "Appraiser" means a real
estate broker or MAI designated appraiser, in either case with not less than
five (5) years of full time commercial appraisal or brokerage experience in San
Francisco County. If either party fails to timely appoint an Appraiser, the sole
Appraiser appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent to be paid during the
Extended Term. If two appraisers are appointed, they shall immediately meet and
attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent. If they are unable to do so within
fifteen (15) days of their first meeting, they shall deliver copies of their
appraisals to each other and thereafter jointly appoint a third Appraiser. The
third appraiser shall, within ten 10 days of his/her appointment, select the
appraisal submitted by the other two appraisers which, in the opinion of the
third appraiser, most accurately states the Fair Market Rent. If the two
Appraisers are unable to agree upon such third Appraiser, either party may
petition the Presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Francisco County to
appoint such third Appraiser.

After the Fair Market Rent has been determined, the rent for the Extended Term
shall be the greater of the following:

(a) the Fair Market Rent, or

(b) the Base Rent and the additional rent for the last year of the Initial Term.

    The determination of Base Rent as provided herein shall be binding upon the
    parties hereto. Promptly upon such determination, the parties shall execute
    an amendment specifying the Base Rent payable during the Extended Term.

                           STOCK SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT

                                   MAY 31, 1996

                  THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, AMERICA ONLINE, INC.,
("AOL") or assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from PLANETOUT, a
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), that number of shares (the "Warrant
Shares") of Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") as shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof, up to a
maximum of 798,462 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $0.1127 (the
"Warrant Price"), at such times as shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1 hereof during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing with the
date hereof and ending with the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) years
from the date hereof or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of any
underwritten public offering of any of the Corporation's securities. This
Warrant is being issued contemporaneously with the panics entry into a Series A
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated the date
hereof, among the Corporation and the Investors named therein, including AOL,
and that certain Information Provider Agreement between the Corporation and AOL
dated as of April 22, 1996 (the "IPA"). Terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

                  1.       NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES EXERCISABLE HEREUNDER.

                  This Warrant shall become exercisable as to that number of
Warrant Shares, and at such times, as are determined in accordance with Schedule
A attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary on such Schedule A
this Warrant shall be fully vested and exercisable as to the maximum number of
Warrant Shares, as set forth above, immediately prior to the closing of any
underwritten public offering of the Company's securities if, as of such time,
(i) the IPA is still in full

force and effect, and (ii) AOL has performed, in all material respects, its
obligations under the IPA which it had been required to perform up until such
time.

                  2.       EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, as to those
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable as determined in
accordance with said Section 1, in whole or in part, at any time during the
Exercise Period, by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed) at the
office of the Corporation at 584 Castro Street, Suite 550, San Francisco,
California 94114, or at such other agency or office of the Corporation, in the
United States of America as it may designate by notice in writing to the holder
hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation,
and by payment to the Corporation of the Warrant Price in cash or by check or by
cancellation of indebtedness for each Warrant Share being purchased. In the
event of the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate
or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of
the holder, and if such Warrant Exercise shall not have been for all Warrant
Shares, a new Warrant, registered in the name of the holder hereof, of like
tenor to this Warrant, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a
reasonable time, not exceeding ten days, after the rights represented by this
Warrant shall have been so exercised. The person in whose name any certificate
for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the
date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and
any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
when the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such person shall
be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on
the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

                  3.       EXCHANGE OF WARRANT.

                           a.       At any time and from time to time during the
Exercise Period, the holder may, at its option, exchange this Warrant, in whole
or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"), into the number of Warrant Shares determined
in accordance with paragraph (b) below, by the surrender of this Warrant,
accompanied by a properly completed and executed Notice of Exchange in the form
attached, at the agency or office of the Corporation referred to in Section 2.

                           b.       In connection with any Warrant Exchange,
this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the excess
(rounded to the next higher integer) of (i) the number (the "Total Number") of
Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exchange (and for which this Warrant
would otherwise be exercisable) over (ii) the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the
existing Warrant Price by (B) the Fair Market Value.

                           c.       Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:

                           d.       The closing of any Warrant Exchange shall
take place at the offices of the Corporation on the date specified in the Notice
of Exchange (the "Exchange Date"), which shall be not less than five and not
more than 30 days after the delivery of such Notice. At such closing, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder or its designee a certificate
or certificates for the Warrant Shares to be issued upon such Warrant Exchange,
registered in the name of the holder or such designee, and if such Warrant
Exchange shall not have been for all Warrant Shares, a new Warrant, registered
in the name of the holder, of like tenor to this Warrant for the number of
shares still subject to this Warrant following such Warrant Exchange (i.e., the
excess of (i) the number of shares subject to this Warrant immediately before
such Warrant Exchange over (ii) the Total Number).

                  4.       ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE.

                  If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock is (i) increased by a stock dividend payable
in shares of Common Stock or by a

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) decreased by a
combination of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date fixed for
the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the benefits of
such stock dividend, subdivision, split-up, or combination, the Warrant Price
shall be adjusted to a new amount equal to the product of (A) the Warrant Price
in effect on such record date and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date (without giving
effect to the event referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii)), by (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be outstanding immediately after
the event referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), if such event had
occurred immediately following such record date.

                  5.       ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT SHARES.

                  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as provided in
Section 4, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to subscribe for and
purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
Warrant Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares existing
prior to such adjustment and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the
Warrant Price existing prior to such adjustment by (B) the new Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment. No fractional shares of Common stock shall be
issued as a result of any such adjustment, and any fractional shares resulting
from the computations pursuant to this paragraph shall be eliminated without
consideration.

                  6.       MINIMAL ADJUSTMENTS. No adjustment in the Warrant
Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares shall be made if such adjustment would
result in a change in (i) the Warrant Price of less than one cent ($0.01) per
share or (ii) the Warrant Shares of less than one share (the "Adjustment
Threshold Amount"). Any adjustment not made because the Adjustment Threshold
Amount is not satisfied shall be carried forward and made, together with any
subsequent adjustments, at such time as (a) the aggregate amount of all such
adjustments is equal to at least the Adjustment Threshold Amount or (b) the
Warrant is exercised.

                  7.       CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of
each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4 or
the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 5, the Corporation promptly
shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
hereof and prepare and furnish to the holder hereof a certificate setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based.

                  8.       COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK.

                           a.       The Corporation covenants and agrees that
all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to
the issue thereof. The Corporation further covenants and agrees that the
Corporation will from time to time take all such action as may be requisite to
assure that the stated or par value per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the then effective Warrant Price

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The
Corporation further covenants and agrees that the Corporation will at all times
have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number
of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise
of this Warrant, the Corporation will use its best efforts to take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Corporation further covenants that
all shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and payment of the Warrant
Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens and charges
in respect of the issue of such shares (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such exercise and payment or otherwise
specified herein). The Corporation agrees that its issuance of the Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of
executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant and covenants that all
such shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other
than restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, and applicable state
and federal securities laws. If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange, the
Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep
listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such
capital stock.

                           b.       The Corporation will not, by any voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in effecting the
terms of this Warrant and in taking all actions necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment
of its rights hereunder.

                  9.       NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.

                  This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Corporation.

                  10.      RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

                  The Corporation is relying upon an exemption from
registration, with respect to this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise hereof, under the Act and applicable state securities
laws. The holder hereof, by acceptance hereof, represents that the holder hereof
understands that either this Warrant nor the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
hereof has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor under
any state securities law, and that neither this Warrant nor the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise hereof may be sold or transferred unless registered under
the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from
such registration is available. By acceptance hereof, the holder hereof
represents, warrants and acknowledges that (a) it is acquiring the Warrant (and
the shares of Common Stock or

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

other securities issuable upon exercise hereof) for its own account for
investment purposes and not with a view to distribution, (b) it has received all
such information as the holder hereof deems necessary and appropriate to enable
the holder hereof to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an
investment in the Corporation, and satisfactory and complete information
concerning the business and financial condition of the Corporation in response
to all inquiries in respect thereof, (c) the holder's acquisition of shares upon
exercise hereof will be a highly speculative investment, (d) the holder hereof
is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold such shares for an
indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the holder's
investment, and (e) the holder hereof has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of acquisition of this Warrant and the shares issuable upon exercise
hereof and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto. Each
certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall have conspicuously endorsed on its face, at the
time of its issuance, such legends as counsel to the Company deems necessary or
appropriate, including without limitation the legend set forth on the top of the
first page of this Warrant. The Company agrees to remove such legends upon (i)
receipt of an unqualified written opinion of legal counsel who shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, addressed to the Corporation and
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation's counsel, to
the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant, or the securities
issuable upon exercise hereof, may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state securities laws or
(ii) such other showing as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation's
counsel.

                  11.      TRANSFER OF WARRANT; AMENDMENT.

                           a.       Subject to Section 10 above, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole, or in part, at the agency
or office of the Corporation referred to in Section 2, by the holder hereof in
person or by such person's duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or
holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed, in
blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and, when so endorsed the holder hereof may
be treated by the Corporation and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as
the absolute owner hereof for any purposes and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on
the books of the Corporation, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but
until each transfer on such books, the Corporation may treat the registered
holder hereof as the owner hereof for all purposes.

                           b.       The terms and provisions of this Warrant may
not be modified or amended, except upon the written consent of the Corporation
and the holder of this Warrant.

                  12.      NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. Upon (a) any establishment by
the Corporation of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for
the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or right or option to acquire securities of the
Corporation, or any other right, (b) any capital reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation
with or into any other corporation, any transfer of all or substantially all the
assets of the Corporation, or any voluntary or involuntary

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation or (c) the Initial Public Offering
(as defined herein), the Corporation shall mail to the holder hereof at least 10
days, or such longer period as may be required by law, prior to the record date
or the closing date of the initial Public Offering specified therein, a notice
specifying (i) the date established as the record date for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, option or right and a description of such dividend,
distribution, option or right (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up is expected to become effective, (iii) the closing date of the
Initial Public Offering and (iv) the date, if any, fixed as to when the holders
of record of Common Stock (of other securities at that time receivable upon
exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                  13.      REORGANIZATIONS, ETC.

                  In case, at any time during the Exercise Period, of any
Capital reorganization, of any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Corporation is the continuing operation and which does not
result in any change in the Common Stock and Preferred Stock) or of the sale of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Corporation as an
entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, be exercisable
for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of
the Corporation or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or
surviving such merger or to which such properties and assets shall have been
sold to which such holder would have been entitled if he had held the Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale.

                  14.      LOST STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.

                  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and
(in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement in such reasonable amount as the Corporation may determined, or (in
the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Corporation,
at its expense, shall issue a new Warrant in substantially identical form in
replacement hereof.

                  15.      HEADINGS.

                  The descriptive headings in this Warrant are included for
convenience only, and do not constitute a part hereof.

                  16.      GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Warrant shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of California.

                  17.      ISSUE TAX.

                  The issuance of certificate for shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of the
Warrant for any issue tax (other than applicable income taxes) in respect
thereof; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any certificate in name other than that of the then holder of
the Warrant being exercised.
