                                 ARTICLE 2. TERM

        2.1 Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease of even date hereof
for Building 1 located on Parcel 1 in the Center (the "BUILDING 1 LEASE"). The
Term of this Lease shall commence on the date ("COMMENCEMENT DATE") that the
Premises are delivered to Tenant in the Delivery Condition (as defined in
Article 8), and shall terminate at midnight on the date of expiration of the
initial term of the Building 1 Lease.

               See Addendum A-2.1.

        2.2 The first "LEASE YEAR" shall begin on the Commencement Date and
shall expire on the last day of the month, twelve (12) full calendar months next
following the Rent Commencement Date set forth in Paragraph 1(g). If the Rent
Commencement Date occurs on the first day of the calendar month, then the first
Lease Year shall end on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of
the Commencement Date. Subsequent Lease Years shall be each consecutive twelve
(12) calendar month period thereafter except for the last Lease Year which may
be a partial Lease Year.

        2.3 Promptly after the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute a written acknowledgment of the Rent Commencement Date in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J.

                              ARTICLE 3. BASE RENT

        3.1 Tenant agrees to pay without offset or deduction of any kind (except
as expressly set forth in this Lease) the initial monthly Base Rent amount set
forth in Paragraph 1(b) above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2, in
advance at Landlord's address on the first day of each calendar month during the
Term of this Lease. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent shall commence on the
Rent Commencement Date. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a
calendar month, the first month's rent shall be prorated on the basis of a
thirty (30) day month, and shall be payable with the first full monthly rental
due hereunder. Landlord's address shall be as set forth below its signature, or
as from time to time designated by Landlord to Tenant in writing.

        3.2 As of the date of commencement of the second Lease Year and as of
the commencement of each Lease Year during the initial Lease Term thereafter,
the monthly Base Rent shall increase by four percent (4%) over the monthly Base
Rent in effect immediately preceding the applicable adjustment date.

                           ARTICLE 4. USE OF PREMISES

        4.1 The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purposes
described in Paragraph 1(h) above and for other uses permitted within the light
industrial zoning district within which the Premises is located, unless
prohibited by the Declaration, and provided Tenant's use otherwise complies with
all applicable governmental requirements. Tenant shall not use the Premises for
any other purposes without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may
be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
acknowledged that Tenant may elect to use a portion of the Premises for an
employee cafeteria and kitchen facilities provided that all construction of such
facilities is performed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof.

        4.2 Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises
anything which is illegal or unlawful; or which will cause cancellation of any
insurance on the building of which the Premises are a part. Tenant shall not
obstruct or interfere with the rights of any other tenants and occupants of the
Center or their invitees, nor injure them, nor operate the Premises in a manner
which unreasonably disturbs other tenants in the use of their premises in the
Center. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any nuisance on or about the
Premises. Tenant shall not use nor permit the use of the Premises or any part
thereof as living quarters.

        4.3 Tenant acknowledges that although Landlord has permitted Tenant the
use of Premises for the purpose described in this Article, neither Landlord nor
any agent of Landlord has made any representation or

                                       2
<PAGE>

warranty to Tenant with respect to the suitability of the present zoning of the
Building for such use. Tenant assumes all responsibility for investigating the
suitability of the zoning for its use and for compliance with all other laws and
regulations governing such use.

        4.4 Tenant shall have use of, and access to, the Premises twenty four
(24) hours per day, three hundred sixty five (365) days per year, subject to the
provisions of this Lease and ordinances and regulations of applicable
governmental agencies.

        4.5 Tenant agrees that, at its own cost and expense, it will comply with
and conform to all Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 4.7(d) below) in
any way relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises throughout the entire
term of this Lease; including the Livermore Fire Code requiring all tenants to
obtain fire extinguishers for the Premises and maintain them so that they are
fully charged and operational at all times and inspected annually. Further,
subject to Landlord's obligation to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the
Delivery Condition, Tenant shall thereafter be obligated at its own cost and
expense to take such action and perform such work (including structural
alterations) to the Premises, as required to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA") and other applicable handicapped access codes. Further,
if, and to the extent, due to Tenant's use of, or alterations to, or work
performed by Tenant in the Premises, changes, alterations or improvements to
Building 3, Parcel 3 or other portions of the Center are required by any
governmental agency, Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of such changes,
alterations and improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
herein shall limit or affect any representations, warranties or covenants of
Landlord or any of Landlord's contractors with respect to any work performed
pursuant to Article 8 or Exhibit C. Except to the extent of Tenant's compliance
obligations set forth above, Landlord shall be obligated to comply with all
Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, the ADA and other applicable
handicapped access codes, with respect to all portions of Parcel 3 outside of
Building 3, subject to reimbursement as specifically set forth in this Lease and
further subject to the terms of the Declaration.

        4.6 Tenant shall place no loads upon the floors, walls, ceilings or roof
of the Building in excess of the maximum design load of Building 3.

        4.7 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES:

        A. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE; REPORTABLE USES: As used herein, the terms
"HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE" and "HS " shall mean any product, substance, chemical,
material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect,
either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the
Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or
welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Landlord to
any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute. Hazardous
Substance shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum,
gasoline, crude oil or any products or by-products thereof. "REPORTABLE USE"
shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage
tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal
of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a
report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any
governmental authority, and (iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises of a
Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable HS Requirements (as
defined in subparagraph (F) hereinafter) require that a notice be given to
persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties.

        B. TENANT'S USE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES:

               (1) Notice of Use of Hazardous Substances. Tenant may, without
Landlord's prior consent, but upon notice to Landlord and in compliance with all
Applicable HS Requirements and all other provisions of this Section 4.7, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, (i) operate a business on the Premises which is
substantially similar to the business it is operating at its facilities in
Livermore, California as of the Commencement Date, i.e. research, development,
design, manufacture (including with clean room facilities), and sale of
electronic components and devices relating to the testing and packaging of
semiconductor devices and to probing technology, and to wafer-level burn-in and
packaging and chip scale packaging of semiconductor devices ("PERMITTED USE"),
and (ii) use any ordinary and customary Hazardous Substances reasonably required
to be used by Tenant in the normal course of the Permitted Use.

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (2) Tenant's HS Use. Tenant shall have the right to use the
Hazardous Substances listed on Exhibit F without Landlord's prior consent and
without the requirement of additional insurance. Tenant shall use all such
Hazardous Substances in accordance with all Applicable HS Requirements and in
compliance with all other provisions of this Section 4.7, specifically including
the notice requirements and restrictions set forth below. Tenant's use of the
substances referenced in Exhibit F may be referred to herein as "TENANT'S HS
USE".

               (3) Control of HS Hazards.

                      (a) Plans for Designated HS Areas. Tenant shall use,
store, or otherwise manage HS only in areas designated by Tenant for such use
("DESIGNATED HS AREAS"). Prior to commencement of Tenant's HS Use on the
Premises, and prior to modification of or addition to any Designated HS Areas,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with written plans (such as architectural or
engineering plans) regarding the design and planned operation of the Designated
HS Areas. The plans shall include descriptions of the types and quantities of HS
that will be used, stored, or otherwise managed in Designated HS Areas, the
maximum design capacity of each Designated HS Area and descriptions of all
equipment and structures that will be used to control environmental, health, and
safety hazards associated with the HS, including, for example, secondary
containment structures and air pollution control equipment. Tenant will also
provide copies of all permits and other approvals required to be obtained to
lawfully operate Tenant's business and Hazardous Substances on the Premises.

                      (b) Commencement of Tenant's HS Use. Tenant shall not
commence Tenant's HS Use until Landlord has approved the plans submitted by
Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord may (but without any obligation to do
so) condition its approval upon Tenant's taking such measures as Landlord, at
its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises, the Center, and the environment against damage, contamination, injury,
and/or liability, including, but not limited to the installation (and, at
Landlord's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination)
of reasonably necessary protective equipment, structures, or modifications to
the Premises. Tenant's plans shall be deemed approved, however, if Tenant's
plans comply with the requirements of subparagraph (a) and the minimum standards
set forth on Exhibit F-1.

                      (c) Modification/Expansion of Designated HS Areas. Tenant
shall not modify or add to the Designated HS Areas until Landlord has approved
the plans submitted by Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (a) above for the
modification or addition, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Tenant's plans shall be deemed approved, however, if Tenant's plans for
the modification or addition comply with the requirements of subparagraph (a)
and the minimum standards set forth on Exhibit F-1.

               (4) Notice of HS Use. Tenant shall notify the Landlord in writing
at least five (5) business days prior to any of the following:

                      (a) the date Tenant first commences Tenant's HS Use on the
Premises; or

                      (b) the date Tenant commences to store or use any
Hazardous Substance which is not listed on Exhibit F (a "NEW HS"), if the
quantity of the New Hazardous Substance exceeds either (i) 55 gallons of liquid,
500 pounds of solid, 200 cubic feet of compressed gas at standard temperature
and pressure, or (ii) the applicable Threshold Planning Quantity listed in 40
CFR Part 355.

        After receipt of a notice pursuant to subparagraph (b) above, if
Tenant's use of the New HS in the Premises is materially more dangerous than
Tenant's use of Hazardous Substances listed on Exhibit F, Landlord may require
Tenant to obtain a policy of pollution liability insurance in a commercially
reasonable form and amounts and with such insurer as may be reasonably approved
by Landlord. For any insurance policy requirement, Landlord shall be named as an
additional insured under such policy. Tenant shall deliver a certificate of any
insurance required prior to bringing the Hazardous Substance into the Premises
and Tenant shall maintain such insurance in effect until the closure
requirements set forth in subparagraph (H) below have been satisfied or the New
HS use ceases.

               (5) Contents of New HS Notice. Each notice of a New HS shall
specify the names and quantities of any New HS that Tenant intends to place on
the Premises which exceeds the quantities described in

                                       4
<PAGE>

subparagraph 4(b) above together with a copy of all permits and other approvals
required to be obtained to lawfully use, store, or otherwise manage the New HS
on the Premises. Tenant's notice shall also provide Landlord with information
regarding the Designated HS Areas where the New HS will be used, stored, or
otherwise managed, the new aggregate quantities of all Hazardous Substances in
Designated HS Areas, and the maximum design capacities of the Designated HS
Areas (if changed or modified from the Designated HS Areas as initially approved
consistent pursuant to Section 4.7(B)(3)(b) above).

               (6) Increase in HS Quantities. If, at any time during the Term,
Tenant intends to increase the quantity of existing Hazardous Substances and/or
add New HS such that the aggregate quantity of all Hazardous Substances in any
Designated HS Area on the Premises exceeds the maximum design capacity for the
Designated HS Area, Tenant shall not increase quantities or add New HS until
Landlord has consented to the modification of or addition to the Designated HS
Areas, pursuant to Section 4.7(B)(3)(c) above.

               (7) Restrictions on Quantity or Use of HS. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Lease, but subject to Tenant's right to engage in a
Permitted Use consistent with the standards of Exhibit F-1, Tenant's use of
Hazardous Substances at the Premises is subject to the following restrictions:

                (a)     Tenant shall not, without Landlord's consent, use any HS
                        in quantities such that Tenant would be subject to
                        requirements for preparation of a Risk Management Plan,
                        as set forth in 40 CFR Part 68 (as such requirements
                        exist on the date of execution of this Lease without
                        regard to amendments which may be enacted after the date
                        hereof) and such HS use is materially more dangerous
                        than the HS use presently being carried on by Tenant.

                (b)     Tenant shall not, without Landlord's consent, use any HS
                        which emits odors unless the odors can be controlled to
                        the extent they are not present at objectionable levels
                        in any areas exterior to the Premises that are
                        accessible to other tenants of the Center or the general
                        public. In the absence of any legal thresholds for
                        identifying objectionable odors, other odor standards
                        may be used, provided they are generally accepted as
                        being scientifically valid.

                (c)     Tenant shall not, without Landlord's consent, use any HS
                        in a manner that would result in "Significant
                        Emissions". SIGNIFICANT EMISSIONS are defined as air
                        emissions originating from the Premises for which under
                        applicable federal or state law (i) notices or warnings
                        must be given to other occupants of the Center or the
                        general public based upon their proximity to the
                        Building, as opposed to entry therein, or (ii) other
                        occupants of the Center or the general public must
                        receive special training and/or use personal protective
                        equipment.

        C. PLANS/REPORTS: Within ten (10) days after Tenant submits the same to
any governmental authority, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all
hazardous materials business plans, permits and all other plans, reports and
correspondence pertaining to storage/management of Hazardous Substances at the
Premises, except waste manifests and routine monitoring reports.

        D. DUTY TO INFORM LANDLORD: If Tenant knows, or has reasonable cause to
believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or
about the Premises or Building or Center, other than as previously permitted or
consented to by Landlord or there has been a spill, release or discharge of any
Hazardous Substances in the Premises (other than discharges permitted,
authorized or otherwise approved by the applicable governmental agencies
regulating the same), Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice
thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration,
application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given
to, or received from, any governmental authority or third party concerning the
presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance
including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Use involving the Premises. Tenant shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the
Premises (including, without limitation, through the plumbing, storm, or
sanitary sewer system).

                                       5

        E. INDEMNIFICATION: Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Landlord, its agents, employees, lenders, and the Premises and Center, harmless
from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, claims,
liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and attorneys' and consultants' fees
arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance to the extent brought into
the Premises and/or Center by or for Tenant, its employees, agents or
contractors. Tenant's obligations under this Section 4.7(E) shall include, but
not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person,
property or the environment created or suffered by Tenant, and, except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.7(G), the cost of investigation (including
reasonable consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Landlord and
Tenant shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease with respect
to Hazardous Substances, unless specifically so agreed by Landlord in writing at
the time of such agreement.

        F. TENANT'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS: Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all
"LEGAL REQUIREMENTS", which term is used in this Lease to mean all laws, rules,
regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and restrictions of
record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter
or rating bureau, relating in any manner to the Premises or Center (including
but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii)
environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil and
groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture, production,
installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill or release of
any Hazardous Substance, which foregoing (ii) and (iii) Legal Requirements may
be referred to as "APPLICABLE HS REQUIREMENTS"), now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) business days after
receipt of Landlord's written request made from time to time, provide Landlord
with copies of all documents and information, including but not limited to
permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and certificates,
evidencing Tenant's compliance with all Applicable HS Requirements specified by
Landlord, and shall within five (5) business days after receipt, notify Landlord
in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual
claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving
failure by Tenant or the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirements. Tenant
shall be obligated to disclose to Landlord which Hazardous Substances are used
at the Premises and how such Hazardous Substances are being handled (but in no
event shall Tenant be required to disclose information regarding formulations or
manufacturing processes or procedures related to such Hazardous Substances)
notwithstanding that such information may be proprietary information or a trade
secret. Landlord agrees to keep as confidential all such proprietary information
delivered to Landlord (including, without limitation, Exhibit F) and which
Tenant designates in writing as confidential, provided that Landlord may
disclose the same when required by law or in litigation between Landlord and
Tenant regarding such information or to Landlord's lenders or to prospective
purchasers provided such parties have also agreed to keep the same confidential.

        G. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW GOVERNING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES: Landlord,
Landlord's agents, employees, contractors and designated representatives, and
the holders of any mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises
("LENDERS") shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time in case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times (but not more often than annually
for inspection of Tenant's "clean room" on the Premises, if any, or more often
than quarterly for inspection of other parts of the Premises), and upon no less
than 10 days' notice, unless an emergency exists, for the purpose of inspecting
the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Tenant with this
Lease and all Legal Requirements, and Landlord shall be entitled to employ
experts and/or consultants in connection therewith (provided that such experts
and/or consultants are not engaged in a business competitive with Tenant, or
consult or give advice to any competitor of Tenant listed on Exhibit I) to
advise Landlord with respect to Tenant's activities, including but not limited
to Tenant's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal of
any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises ("LANDLORD'S CONSULTANTS").
Prior to engaging any Landlord's Consultants, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
written notice of the name of the proposed consultant and Tenant shall have five
(5) business days to object to the engagement based upon Tenant's reasonable
belief that engagement of the particular individual as Landlord's Consultant,
and the consequent access to Tenant's facilities and proprietary information and
trade secrets, could result in competitive injury to Tenant. Landlord shall not
engage with a consultant as to whom Tenant has objected. Tenant shall cooperate
with Landlord's Consultants inspecting the Premises, including responding to
interviews (for a time period not to exceed four (4) hours for the initial site
visit and two (2) hours for site visits thereafter).

                                       6
<PAGE>

Landlord's Consultants shall at all times be escorted by Tenant, unless Tenant
agrees otherwise. This and all rights to enter except in the event of an
emergency are subject to Landlord, Landlord's agents, employees, contractors,
designated representatives, prospective purchasers and/or Lenders, as the case
may be, executing Tenant' s standard non-disclosure agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H. The costs and expenses of any such inspections
shall be paid by the party requesting same and in no event shall be borne by or
passed along to Tenant unless requested by Tenant, subject only to the
proceeding sentence. If the inspection is performed due to a violation of
Applicable HS Requirements, Tenant shall, upon request, reimburse Landlord or
Landlord's Lender, as the case may be, as additional rent, for the costs and
expenses of such inspections.

        H. CLOSURE REQUIREMENTS: Prior to any termination of the Lease, Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense (except as to those costs and expenses arising out
of actions undertaken by Landlord or by a third party on behalf of Landlord),
shall satisfy the following closure requirements with respect to the Hazardous
Substances Tenant has used in the Premises during the Term:

               (1) Comply with all applicable federal, state and local closure
        requirements with respect to Hazardous Substances;

               (2) Prepare a closure plan (the "CLOSURE PLAN") that specifies
        the final disposition of all Hazardous Substances and equipment which
        may be contaminated with Hazardous Substances; cleaning and
        decontamination activities, and confirmation sampling (e.g. wipe
        samples, soil/ground water samples and/or indoor air quality samples, to
        the extent warranted by the site conditions then existing).

               (3) At least sixty (60) days prior to the Lease termination,
        provide to Landlord a copy of the Closure Plan for review and reasonable
        approval. Landlord may, after consultation with Tenant, require
        modification of the Closure Plan to include additional activities,
        including sampling activities, if the site conditions indicate that
        there is a reasonable probability that "Significant Residual
        Contamination" is present. SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION shall mean
        residual contamination which: (i) exceeds standards or guidance levels
        typically used by regulatory agencies in California for evaluating
        potential threats to human health or the environment; or (ii) would
        result in notification requirements under applicable state law of
        potential health risks to individuals on the Premises, other tenants of
        the Center, and/or the general public; or (iii) would result in
        potential environmental liability to Tenant or Landlord; or (iv) would
        result in the need for conducting any type of additional decontamination
        activities prior to leasing the Premises to a new tenant. If Landlord
        fails to request modification of the Closure Plan within ten (10)
        business days after its receipt thereof, Tenant's Closure Plan shall be
        deemed accepted.

               (4) Notify Landlord of closure schedule and allow access to
        Landlord and/or Landlord's Consultants for inspections prior to
        commencing and following completion of the cleaning/decontamination
        activities.

               (5) Notify Landlord of all sample analysis results, if any.
        Landlord may require additional closure activities if sampling results
        disclose Significant Residual Contamination.

               (6) Prepare and provide to Landlord closure report documenting
        closure activities consistent with the Closure Plan and sample results,
        if any, following completion of all closure activities.

               Closure shall be deemed to be complete upon Landlord's reasonable
approval of the closure report and, if applicable, Landlord's receipt of a copy
of the written closure approval from the local environmental agency with
jurisdiction over the Hazardous Substances at the Premises.

        I. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS: Tenant's obligations under this Section 4.7
shall survive the termination of this Lease.

               See Addendum A-4.7.

4.8 DECLARATION. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Lease shall be subject
to and subordinate to a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
which will be recorded prior to the Delivery Date in the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Official Records of Alameda County, California, which, together with all
amendments from time to time, are collectively referred to as the "DECLARATION".
A true and correct copy of the Declaration is attached hereto as Exhibit G.
Tenant agrees to be bound by and comply with all provisions of the Declaration.
Upon recordation, Landlord shall deliver a copy of the recorded Declaration to
Tenant.

               See Addendum A-4.8.

                  ARTICLE 5. LETTERS OF CREDIT/SECURITY DEPOSIT

        5.1 In order to secure the prompt and faithful performance by Tenant of
all of the obligations of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, upon
execution of this Lease Tenant shall deliver to Landlord unconditional, clean,
irrevocable, standby Letters of Credit (the "LETTER OF CREDIT") in the amounts
specified in Paragraph 1(c) above.

        5.2 Following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease by
Tenant, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or
any part of said Letters of Credit for the payment of any rent or any other sum
in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or
become obligated to spend by reason of the Event of Default by Tenant, or to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord has suffered or
may suffer by reason of Tenant's Event of Default. If any portion of said
Letters of Credit is so used, applied or retained, prior to the date that the
second payment of monthly rent is due after the date of such application, Tenant
shall either increase the Letters of Credit to an amount sufficient to restore
each to its original sum or pay to Landlord a cash security deposit in the
amount which was applied (e.g. if the Landlord uses the Letter of Credit for
payment of an overdue installment in March, Tenant shall restore the Letter of
Credit amount or pay the required cash deposit to Landlord prior to May 1).
Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default of this Lease,
and Landlord may, without any further notice, exercise its remedies specified in
Article 25 hereof.

        5.3 Provided that on the applicable adjustment date no Event of Default
exists nor has one occurred during the preceding twelve (12) month period, the
Letter of Credit amounts shall be adjusted as follows:

        (a) As of the last day of each of the first five (5) Lease Years, the
amount of each Letter of Credit shall be reduced by ten percent (10%) of the
original amount of such Letter of Credit,

        (b) As of the last day of the sixth (6th) Lease Year the amount of each
Letter of Credit shall be reduced by twenty-five percent (25%) of the original
amount of such Letter of Credit,

        (c) As of the first day of the eighth (8th) Lease Year Tenant may
substitute for all outstanding Letters of Credit then in effect either a cash
security deposit equal to two (2) months of then existing Rent for the Premises
or a new Letter of Credit in the amount of two (2) months' Rent. The substitute
security shall be retained until the end of the Term. Landlord shall not be
required to keep any cash security deposit separate from its general funds and
is in no event to be deemed a trustee thereof, and Tenant shall not be entitled
to interest on any sums deposited or redeposited under this Article 5 and the
same shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.5, and

        (d) If the requirements for an adjustment are not met on any adjustment
date, that date and each subsequent adjustment date (as the same may be deferred
pursuant to this subparagraph (d)) shall be deferred on a month-by-month basis
until the requirements are satisfied. (For example if the first adjustment date
at the end of the fourth Lease Year was deferred for ninety days, all adjustment
dates thereafter would also be deferred for ninety (90) days).

        (e) Notwithstanding and without limiting or affecting the foregoing, at
any time during the Term upon Tenant's written request to Landlord, submitted
with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has satisfied the
financial criteria set forth below for two (2) consecutive calendar years and
provided that no Event of Default then exists nor has one occurred during the
twelve (12) month period preceding Tenant's request, Tenant may substitute for
all outstanding Letters of Credit then in effect a cash security deposit or new
letter of credit equal to four (4) months of the then existing Rent for the
Premises. The cash deposit shall be held on the terms set forth in subsection
(c) above and as of the eighth (8th) Lease Year shall be subject to reduction as
provided in that subsection. Such substitution shall be effective upon written
notice to Landlord together with reasonable evidence

                                       8
<PAGE>

that the criteria have been satisfied for the required period. The financial
criteria referred to above are as follows: (i) Tenant's Net Worth (defined as
total assets less total liabilities less unamortized intangible assets less
goodwill) shall be at least $90,000,000, (ii) Tenant's Current Ratio (defined as
current assets divided by current liabilities) shall be at least 1.5:1, and
(iii) Tenant shall have positive annual earnings before income taxes,
depreciation and amortization expenses.

        5.4 All Letters of Credit required herein shall be on the following
additional terms and conditions:

        (a) Letters of Credit shall be payable on sight with the bearer's draft
issued by and drawn on a major bank or other financial institution which is
defined by ICC Publication 500 as empowered to issue Documentary credits and
Standby Letters of Credit (the "ISSUING BANK") of Tenant's selection, subject to
Landlord's reasonable approval. Landlord hereby approves Imperial Bank as an
acceptable issuing bank. Each Letter of Credit shall state that it shall be
payable against sight drafts presented by Landlord, accompanied by Landlord's
statement that such drawing is in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Lease; no other document or certification from Landlord shall be required
to negotiate the Letter of Credit. Landlord may designate any bank as Landlord's
advising bank for collection purposes and any sight drafts for the collection of
the Letter of Credit may be presented by the advising bank on Landlord's behalf.

        (b) Each Letter of Credit shall be for a term of one (1) year and shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. The Letter of Credit
shall provide for its automatic extension for additional one year periods
(subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 5.3 above, if applicable) unless
the issuing bank notifies Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to its
then expiration date that the Letter of Credit will not be extended. However, if
the issuing bank notifies Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be so
extended, Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the Letters of Credit in
the amount of the entire amount which remains unpaid. The fee for the
maintenance of the Letters of Credit shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

        (c) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under this
Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the Letters of Credit in the
amount required to cure Tenant's Event of Default.

        (d) If an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, Landlord
shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant before having
recourse to the Letters of Credit or to any other form of security held by
Landlord or to any other remedy available to Landlord at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord confirms and agrees
that it will draw upon the Letter of Credit for any monetary Event of Default
prior to taking any action to terminate the Lease by reason of such Event of
Default. If the proceeds of Landlord's draw upon the Letter of Credit satisfies
the monetary Event of Default and Tenant restores the Letter of Credit amount or
pays a cash security deposit to Landlord as required in Section 5.2 above,
Landlord shall have no further right to terminate this Lease by reason of such
Event of Default.

        (e) Each Letter of Credit shall be transferable. In the event of any
sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Premises or this
Lease, Landlord shall have the right to assign or transfer the Letters of Credit
to its grantee, assignee or transferee, and thereupon Landlord shall be
discharged from any further liability with respect thereto and Tenant shall look
solely to such grantee, assignee or transferee for the return of the Letters of
Credit. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall likewise apply to any
subsequent transferees. The first transfer shall be at no charge to Landlord.
Any transfers of the Letters of Credit thereafter shall be at Landlord's
expense.

        5.5 If Tenant shall have fully satisfied all of its obligations under
this Lease, both of the Letters of Credit shall be returned to Tenant within
thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease. If upon the expiration or
termination of this Lease Tenant has not satisfied all of its obligations under
this Lease, including but not limited to the requirements of Section 4.7 and
Article 11 herein regarding Tenant's surrender of the Premises, then Landlord
may draw down the Letters of Credit and may apply the amounts drawn toward the
costs for the cleaning and/or repair and/or restoration of the Premises or the
costs associated with Tenant's failure to perform other obligations. In the
event Landlord's interest in this Lease is sold or otherwise terminated,
Landlord shall have the right to transfer said Letters of Credit to its
successor in interest.

                              ARTICLE 6. UTILITIES

        6.1 Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall pay for all water, gas,
heat, electricity, garbage disposal, sewer charges, telephone, and any other
utility or service charge related to its occupancy of the Premises, including
but not limited to any hook- up charges. Utilities will be separately metered to
the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that all water used with respect to the
landscaping on Parcel 3 and the electricity for all outdoor lighting on Parcel 3
will be metered through the water and electrical meters for the Premises and
billed directly by Tenant. Tenant will not be responsible for such expenses with
respect to any other parcels in the Center.

        6.2 Except to the extent arising out of Landlord's negligence or willful
misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable in damages, consequential or otherwise,
nor shall there be any rent abatement, arising out of any interruption or
reduction whatsoever in utility services (i) which is due to fire, accident,
strike, governmental authority, acts of God, acts of other tenants or other
third parties, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or any
temporary interruption in such service, and (ii) which is necessary to the
making of alterations, repairs, or improvements to the Center, or any part of it
(all of which shall be conducted pursuant to Article 9), or (iii) to comply with
energy conservation measures mandated by a governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Center.

                         ARTICLE 7. REAL PROPERTY TAXES

        7.1 Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all "Taxes" (as hereinafter
defined) which may be levied, assessed or imposed against or become a lien upon
Parcel 3, the tax parcel upon which Building 3 is located, which will be
separately assessed. The term "TAXES" shall mean and include real estate taxes,
assessments (special or otherwise), including impositions for the purpose of
funding special assessment districts, water and sewer rents, rates and charges
(including water and sewer charges which are measured by the consumption of the
actual user of the item or service for which the charge is made) levies, fees
(including license fees) and all other taxes, governmental levies and charges of
every kind and nature whatsoever (and whether or not the same presently exist or
shall be enacted in the future) which may during the term be levied, assessed,
imposed, become a lien upon or due and payable with respect to, out of or for
the Parcel 3 or any part thereof, or of any land, building or improvements
thereon, or the use, occupancy or possession thereof; and imposed or based upon
or measured by the rents receivable by Landlord for the Parcel 3, including
gross receipts taxes, business taxes, business and occupation taxes.

        "TAXES" shall also include interest on installment payments and all
costs and fees (including reasonable attorney's and appraiser's fees) incurred
by Landlord in contesting Taxes and negotiating with public authorities as to
the same. Taxes shall not include, however, any franchise, estate, inheritance,
corporation, transfer, net income, excess profits tax or any assessments levied
by the Association pursuant to the Declaration. Association assessments shall be
payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4.

        7.2 Tenant shall pay the Taxes with respect to any tax fiscal year
during the term hereof. Landlord's estimate of Tenant's initial tax payment for
Parcel 3 is that amount set forth in Paragraph 1(e) above.

        7.3 Commencing with the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord
monthly, with each payment of monthly Base Rent, the amount computed in
accordance with Paragraph 1(e) above as an impound toward the Taxes. Tenant's
actual obligation for Taxes shall be determined and computed by Landlord not
less often than annually and at the time each such computation is made, Landlord
and Tenant shall adjust for any difference between impounded amounts and
Tenant's actual share. Tenant shall pay Landlord any deficiency (or Landlord
shall pay Tenant any surplus) within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord's written statement. At the time of each such computation, Landlord may
revise the monthly payment for Taxes set forth in Paragraph 1(e) above by
written notification to Tenant. Tenant shall pay its share of Taxes during each
year of the Lease Term. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a copy of the tax
bills for the Parcel 3 supporting the amounts charged to Tenant by Landlord.

        7.4 If this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the last day of
a tax fiscal year, the amount payable by Tenant during the tax fiscal year in
which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which

                                       10
<PAGE>

the number of days from the commencement of said tax fiscal year to and
including said termination date bears to 365. The obligation of Tenant under
this Article 7 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

                     ARTICLE 8. CONSTRUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE

        8.1 Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall construct "LANDLORD'S
WORK" as described in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herein. Tenant shall construct "TENANT'S WORK" as specified in Exhibit C and
Landlord shall provide a Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount specified in
Paragraph 1(i) to be applied to the cost of the Tenant Improvements constructed
by Tenant. If the actual cost of such Tenant Improvements exceeds the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, all excess costs shall be at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. If the cost is less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the balance
of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be applied to the cost of any Special
Tenant Improvements described in Exhibit C, or if none are specified, to the
cost of Tenant Improvements under any then existing lease between Landlord and
Tenant for other premises in the Center. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant at
least ten (10) days prior to the date Landlord anticipates substantial
completion of the Base Building portion of Landlord's Work as set forth in
Exhibit C ("BASE BUILDING WORK"). The "DELIVERY DATE" for the Premises shall be
the date upon which (i) Landlord has substantially completed the Base Building
Work, as evidenced by a written certificate of substantial completion issued by
Landlord's architect, and (ii) the parking areas on Parcel 3 shall have been
substantially completed and all interior roadways designated on the Site Plan
which provide ingress and egress to the Premises and to such parking areas shall
be paved and accessible from the public roads. The remaining Landlord's Work
shall be substantially completed on or before the Rent Commencement Date. As
used herein, "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" shall mean completed, except for minor
punch list items which do not interfere with Tenant's ability to complete its
improvements. The condition of the Premises in compliance with the requirements
set forth in items (i) and (ii) above may sometimes be referred to herein as the
"DELIVERY CONDITION."

        8.2 Following delivery of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery
Condition, Tenant shall diligently proceed to complete Tenant's Work, including
any Special Tenant Improvements and such other work as it may deem necessary for
the conduct of its business in the Premises. Prior to commencing Tenant's Work,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord for approval plans and specifications prepared
by an architect selected by Tenant, which plans shall be subject to Landlord's
prior reasonable approval. Once Tenant's plans are approved by Landlord,
Tenant's contractors (which shall also be subject to prior reasonable approval
by Landlord) shall obtain all necessary permits for the work set forth in the
Approved Tenant Plans (the "TENANT'S WORK") and proceed to complete Tenant's
Work in compliance with all applicable governmental requirements.

        8.3 Within thirty (30) days following the Delivery Date, and within
thirty (30) days following the date of substantial completion of Landlord's
Work, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually prepare a punch list of items to be
corrected in the Base Building Work and other Landlord's Work, respectively,
including any defects or non-conformance in Landlord' s construction. Landlord
shall cause its contractors to promptly complete all punch list items.
Landlord's Work shall also be under warranty by Landlord's contractors for a
period of one (1) year. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and
guaranties received by Landlord from its contractors with respect to the Tenant
Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements (if any). If Landlord's contractors
shall fail to complete any punch list items within the 90-day period following
completion of the punchlist, and such failure continues after notice from Tenant
and the cure period provided in Article 24, Tenant may at its option (but shall
not be obligated to) complete the required work at Landlord's cost. Landlord
shall pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days the amount shown on any statement
describing the necessary work completed by Tenant accompanied by the invoices
for such work.

        8.4 Landlord will cause its contractors to complete the Base Building
Work with all commercially reasonable diligence and to deliver the Premises in
Delivery Condition on or before October 1, 2001. If the Delivery Date has not
occurred by December 1, 2001 due to a Landlord Delay (as defined in Exhibit C),
Tenant shall be entitled to a rent credit of one day's Base Rent for each of the
first thirty (30) days that Tenant's substantial completion of the Tenant
Improvements is delayed beyond June 30, 2002 due to the Landlord Delay, and a
rent credit of two day's Base Rent for each of the next thirty (30) days of such
delay. Further, if the Delivery Date has not occurred on or before February 1,
2002 due to a Landlord Delay, Tenant shall have the right as its sole remedy to
terminate this Lease without penalty by delivering written notice to Landlord
within thirty (30) days thereafter

                                       11

and prior to the date the Delivery Date has occurred. In the event of such
termination, Landlord shall return to Tenant all amounts paid to Landlord for
the Special Tenant Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C), Tenant's project
management fees and the cost of any Tenant Improvements and Special Tenant
Improvements (if any) constructed by Tenant in the Premises. Pursuant to the
terms of Exhibit C, all time periods referenced above with respect to delivering
the Premises to Tenant shall be extended by the number of days of any delay due
to Tenant's Delay (as defined in Exhibit C) and/or Force Majeure (as defined in
Section 32.8 hereafter).

        8.5 After the Premises has been constructed, Landlord's architect shall
measure the gross leasable area of Building 3 and shall certify to Landlord such
measurement in writing. The GLA so certified will be deemed to be the GLA of the
Premises for all purposes of this Lease. To compute the Premises GLA, Building 3
shall be measured to the drip line. The initial monthly Base Rent, estimated tax
and operating expense payments, the Letter of Credit amounts set forth in
Article 1 and the Tenant Improvement Allowance were based on an estimated GLA of
38,087 square feet. In the event that the Premises GLA as determined pursuant
this Section 8.4 is different from the estimated GLA (which difference shall be
certified by Landlord's architect and approved by Tenant), the Base Rent,
estimated payments, Letter of Credit and Tenant Improvement Allowance amounts
set forth in Article 1 shall be adjusted accordingly.

        8.6 In the event that Landlord, at its sole option, permits Tenant to
take possession of the Premises prior to the Delivery Date for the purpose of
constructing its Tenant Improvements, such possession shall be on all the terms
and conditions of this Lease except for payment of Rent, specifically including
the insurance and indemnity provisions in Articles 14 and 16. In the event that
Landlord notifies Tenant that Tenant's early possession is causing a delay in
Landlord's Work, Tenant shall promptly cease its construction activities and
cause its contractor to remove its personnel, subcontractors and equipment from
Premises until the Delivery Date or earlier date acceptable to Landlord.

                       ARTICLE 9. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

        9.1 Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the
repair, maintenance and, if necessary, replacement of the structural elements,
the roof structure, foundation and the structural integrity of floor slabs of
Building 3, provided that Tenant shall pay for the cost of any such repairs to
the extent occasioned by the negligent act, omission or willful misconduct of
Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or contractors, or by the
construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant, but only to the extent such cost
is in excess of any proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance for
Building 3 maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 14.2.

        9.2 Subject to reimbursement by Tenant as provided in Article 10 hereof,
Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair (including replacement as
necessary), the roof covering and the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls
and window frames of Building 3 (exclusive of doors, door frames, door checks
and other entrances and windows), all Outdoor Areas (defined in Section 10.1) on
Parcel 3, all Shared Areas (as defined in the Declaration) for the use of Parcel
3 and all systems (including sewer, gas, electrical and water lines) serving the
Premises to the point of connection to Building 3. Tenant shall give Landlord
prompt written notice of any damage to the Premises requiring repair by
Landlord.

        9.3 Except to the extent of Landlord's obligations provided in Sections
9.1 and 9.2 hereof, Tenant shall, at its expense, keep and maintain the Premises
and every part thereof in good order, condition and repair, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all equipment or facilities
specifically serving the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning,
ventilating, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or unfired pressure
vessels, fire hose connections if within the Premises, fixtures, interior walls,
interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, plate
glass, and skylights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
required to make any such repairs to the extent occasioned by the negligent act
or omission or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, or
contractors. Tenant shall keep its sewers and drains open and clear to the
perimeter of the Premises, and shall keep the hallways and/or sidewalks and
common areas adjacent to the Premises clean and free of debris created by
Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of damage to the
Premises, Building 3 or Landlord's Parcels caused by Tenant or its employees,
agents, customers, suppliers, shippers, contractors, or invitees which is in
excess of any proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance for Building 3
maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 14.2. If Tenant shall fail to comply
with the

                                       12
<PAGE>

foregoing requirements within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, Landlord
may (but shall not be obligated to) effect such maintenance and repair, and the
cost thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate (defined below)
shall be due and payable as Additional Rent to Landlord within thirty (30) days
following receipt of Landlord's written statement of such costs.

               See Addendum A-9.3.

        9.4 Tenant in keeping the Premises in good order, condition, and repair
shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices including obtaining, at
its expense, a contract for the repair and maintenance of the air conditioning
and heating system, if any, exclusively serving the Premises and provide
Landlord with a copy of said contract within thirty (30) days after Tenant takes
possession of the Premises. The contract shall be for the benefit of Landlord
and Tenant and in a form and placed with a licensed contractor satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant obligations shall include restorations, replacements or
renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a
part thereof in good order, condition and state of repair, except to the extent
of Landlord's obligations expressly set forth in this Lease.

        9.5 Tenant shall not make any exterior or structural alterations,
changes or improvements in or to Building 3 or material modifications to any of
the Base Building operating systems without first obtaining Landlord's prior
written consent (which may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion as to
exterior alterations, and which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
with respect to structural or Base Building system modifications), and all of
the same shall be at Tenant's sole cost. Landlord's consent shall not be
required for any interior cosmetic alterations or alterations not affecting Base
Building exterior, structure or systems as referenced above, or for any
alterations, changes, replacements or improvements to any interior nonstructural
Special Tenant Improvements or any other elements of Tenant's Work; provided
that Tenant shall obtain required permits and comply with all other Legal
Requirements and all requirements of Article 8 and Exhibit C regarding
construction by Tenant and shall notify Landlord not less than ten (10) days
prior to commencing any such alterations to give Landlord an opportunity to post
a notice of non-responsibility. Landlord may impose as a condition of its
consent (when required) such requirements as Landlord, in its reasonable
discretion, may deem necessary, including but not limited to, the requirement
that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and
materialmen approved by Landlord, and that good and sufficient plans and
specifications be submitted to Landlord at such times as its consent is
requested. Further, Landlord's consent to any alteration which Tenant proposes
to make after the Commencement Date shall designate by written notice to Tenant
any of the alterations, additions and improvements (collectively, "ALTERATIONS")
which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the expiration or termination of
the Lease and those Alterations (if any) which Tenant is not permitted to
remove. If Landlord so designates, Tenant shall prior to the expiration of the
Term promptly remove the Alterations designated to be removed and repair all
damage caused by such removal at its cost and with all due diligence, and shall
surrender the Premises with all Alterations which Tenant is required to leave.
Unless Landlord designates as a condition to granting its consent to any
Alterations that removal by Tenant is required or prohibited, Tenant shall have
the right, but not the obligation to remove from the Premises the Alterations
for which consent was obtained so long as Tenant promptly repairs any damage
resulting from such removal. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
Alterations made by Tenant (specifically excluding Tenant's furniture, trade
fixtures and equipment) shall become the property of Landlord and a part of the
realty and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term hereof.

               See Addendum A-9.5.

                   ARTICLE 10. OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS

        10.1 All Common Areas in the Center shall be operated and maintained by
the Association pursuant to the Declaration. The term "COMMON AREAS" as used in
this Lease shall include all areas in the Center defined as Common Areas in the
Declaration. Landlord agrees to operate and maintain or cause to operated and
maintained during the term of this Lease all "Outdoor Areas" on Parcel 3. The
term "OUTDOOR AREAS" as used in this Lease shall include all areas on each of
Landlord's Parcels which are not Common Areas, or areas covered by buildings
("BUILDING AREAS") and are provided by Landlord for the convenience and
exclusive use of tenants of each of Landlord's Parcels, their respective
employees, customers, suppliers, shippers, contractors, and invitees.

        10.2 The manner and method of operation, maintenance, service and repair
of the Common Areas and the expenditures therefore, shall be determined in

determined by Landlord and at minimum shall be comparable to similar projects in
the general vicinity of the Center and shall be in accordance with all Legal
Requirements. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord reserves
the right from time to time to make changes in, additions to and deletions from
the Outdoor Areas and/or Common Areas including without limitation changes in
the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces,
parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of
traffic, landscaped areas, walkways and utility raceways and the purposes to
which they are devoted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
Landlord make or permit any modifications to Landlord's Parcels which materially
and adversely affect Tenant's access to or from Parcel 3 as shown on Exhibit A
or which would reduce the number of exclusive parking spaces on Parcel 3
available to Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors.

        10.3 Tenant agrees to comply with such reasonable rules and regulations
as the Association may adopt from time to time for the orderly and proper
operation of the Common Areas. Tenant further agrees to comply with and observe
all reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time
for use of the Outdoor Areas on Parcel 3, including, without limitation, the
removal, storage and disposal of refuse and rubbish. The initial Rules and
Regulations for the Center are attached hereto as Exhibit E. All rules and
regulations adopted or amended after the date of this Lease shall be reasonable
and non-discriminatory and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in
Section A-4.9 of the Addendum.

        10.4 During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, at the time and in the manner specified in Section 10.6 below,

                under such policies.

        10.5 Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share of the operating and
maintenance costs described in Section 10.4 above. Tenant's pro-rata share of
operating and maintenance costs for the Common Areas of the Center shall be the
share of such costs allocated by the Association to Parcel 3 pursuant to the
Declaration. Tenant's pro rate share of all other operating and maintenance
costs shall be as follows: (i) costs related to repairs, maintenance,
replacement and casualty insurance for Building 3 shall be allocated entirely to
Tenant; (ii) if Landlord desires to increase the Existing Deductibles described
in Section 10.4 (x) above and Tenant does not approve the increase, Landlord may
obtain separate policies of property damage and liability insurance for the
Outdoor and Common Areas on Parcel 3 to maintain the Existing Deductibles and
the premiums for such insurance shall be allocated entirely to Tenant; (iii)
costs related to any Shared Areas allocable to Parcel 3 pursuant to the
Declaration shall be paid by Tenant in the proportion provided in the
Declaration; (iv) costs related to all other Outdoor Areas on Landlord's Parcels
shall be the ratio determined by dividing the square footage of Parcel 3 by the
total square footage of all of Landlord's Parcels; and (v) notwithstanding the
foregoing, operating costs which benefit only one or a portion of all of
Landlord's Parcels shall be equitably allocated by Landlord only among the
Parcels benefited either by GLA or Parcel square footage, as applicable in
Landlord's reasonable business judgment. Landlord's estimate of Tenant's initial
pro rata share based on current calculations as outlined above is that amount
set forth in Paragraph 1(d) above.

        10.6 As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly on the first
day of each month, following the Commencement Date and continuing on the first
day of each month thereafter during the Term hereof, an operating and
maintenance charge in an amount estimated by Landlord to be Tenant's share of
the "operating and maintenance costs".

        The initial monthly operating and maintenance charge shall be the amount
estimated by Landlord as set

                                       16
<PAGE>

forth in Paragraph 1(d). Landlord may adjust said monthly charge at the end of
each calendar year thereafter on the basis of Landlord's reasonably anticipated
costs for the following calendar year.

        10.7 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar
year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the total operating
and maintenance costs, Tenant's share of such costs, and the total of the
monthly payments made by Tenant to Landlord during the calendar year just ended.
Landlord shall keep good and accurate books and records concerning the
operation, maintenance and management of the Landlord's Parcels, and Tenant and
its agents shall have the right, upon twenty (20) days' written notice given
within nine (9) months after receipt of the statement for a calendar year, and
at Tenant's sole cost and expense to audit, inspect and copy such books and
records with respect to such calendar year at the office where the same are
located. If such audit discloses that the annual statement has overstated the
actual operating and maintenance expenses for the calendar year under review,
Landlord shall rebate to Tenant the amount by which Tenant has been overcharged
or, at Tenant's election, Tenant may offset such amount against operating and
maintenance charges becoming due; and if the audit discloses that Landlord's
annual statement has overstated such charges by more than five percent (5%),
then, in addition to rebating to Tenant any overcharge, Landlord shall also pay
the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant for such audit. If Landlord disputes the
results of Tenant's audit, the parties shall submit the dispute for resolution
by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4 of
the Declaration, which shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by this
reference. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive on the
parties.

        10.8 If Tenant's share of the operating and maintenance costs for the
accounting period exceeds the payments made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord
the deficiency within ten (10) days after the receipt of Landlord's statement.
If Tenant's payments made during the accounting period exceed Tenant's pro-rata
share of the operating and maintenance costs, Tenant may deduct the amount of
the excess from the estimated payments next due to Landlord. If a credit remains
at the end of the Lease Term, such credit shall be refunded by Landlord to
Tenant within twenty (20) business days thereafter. The obligations of Landlord
and Tenant under this Section 10.8 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

                    ARTICLE 11. TRADE FIXTURES AND SURRENDER

        11.1 Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term hereof,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises including, without limitation, all apparatus
and fixtures then upon the Premises, in good condition and repair, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, broom clean and free of trash and rubbish, subject,
however to the following:

               a. Tenant shall remove all Alterations which Landlord has
designated to be removed pursuant to Section 9.5 above and shall leave all
Alterations which Landlord has designated pursuant to that Section must remain;

               b. If no consent was required or obtained, Tenant shall either
remove or leave all Alterations which Landlord prior to the end of the Term
designates in writing to Tenant must be removed or left in place;

               c. Tenant at its election may remove or leave all Alterations
with respect to which Landlord has not made a designation as described in (a) or
(b) above.

               d. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Personal Property (as
defined in Section 11.3 below).

               e. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by removal of its
Personal Property and any Alterations Tenant is permitted to remove.

               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant
Improvements and any Special Tenant Improvements shall be the property of
Landlord throughout the Term to the extent of the amount of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, and such improvements may not be removed by Tenant
without Landlord's prior written consent. To the extent the costs of Tenant
Improvements and/or Special Tenant Improvements exceed the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, such improvements shall be owned by Tenant throughout the Term. At
the end of the Term, all Tenant Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements
which Tenant is not required to remove in

                                       17
<PAGE>

accordance with the terms hereof shall be surrendered by Tenant without any
injury, damage or disturbance thereto, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any
payment therefore.

        11.2 Consistent with Section 4.7, Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing of the manner and means in which it will remove any and all Hazardous
Substances used in the Premises during its occupancy. Tenant shall also certify
in writing upon delivery of Premises to Landlord on the date of the Lease
expiration that all Hazardous Substances were removed in accordance with all
governmental and regulatory laws.

        11.3 Moveable trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property
(collectively, Tenant's "PERSONAL PROPERTY") installed in the Premises by Tenant
at its cost shall be Tenant's property unless otherwise provided in Section 11.1
above and Tenant shall remove all of the same prior to the termination of this
Lease and at its own cost repair any damage to the Premises and Parcel 3 caused
by such removal. If Tenant fails to remove any of such property, Landlord may at
its option retain such property as abandoned by Tenant and title thereto shall
thereupon vest in Landlord, or Landlord may remove the same and dispose of it in
any manner and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord the actual expense of
such removal and disposition plus the cost of repair of any and all damage to
said Premises and the building thereto resulting from or caused by such removal.

                        ARTICLE 12. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

        12.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.2 below, if the Premises
are damaged and destroyed by any casualty covered by fire and special extended
coverage insurance policies which Landlord is required to provide pursuant to
Article 14, Landlord shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible, to
the extent of the available proceeds, and the Lease shall continue in full force
and effect.

        12.2 If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by any casualty covered by
Landlord's fire and special extended coverage insurance policies which Landlord
is required to provide pursuant to Article 14, to the extent of seventy-five
percent (75%) or more of the replacement cost thereof, or to the extent of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the replacement cost of the Premises if the
damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, or if the
insurance proceeds which are received by Landlord, under the policies Landlord
is required to provide, are not sufficient to repair the damage (specifically
including any insufficiency due to payment of such proceeds to Landlord's
lender, if required), then Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either (i) repair
such damage as soon as reasonably possible, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, or (ii) cancel and terminate this Lease as of
the date of the occurrence of such damage. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
written notice of Landlord's election within sixty (60) days after the date of
the occurrence of the damage, which notice shall also specify the expected time
to restore the Premises if Landlord elects to repair the damages.

               See Addendum A-12.2.

        12.3 If at any time during the Term the Premises are damaged and such
damage was caused by a casualty not covered under the insurance policy Landlord
is required to carry pursuant to Section 14.2, Landlord may, at its option,
either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such
damage, by giving Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to do so within
thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage, in which event
this Lease shall so terminate unless within thirty (30) days thereafter Tenant
agrees to repair the damage at its cost and expense or pay for Landlord's repair
of such damage.

        12.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if it is
determined that the damage or destruction resulting from a casualty cannot be
repaired within twelve (12) months following the date of casualty, Tenant may
terminate this Lease by written notice delivered to Landlord within thirty (30)
days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice given under Section
12.2 or 12.3 above.

        12.5 In the event of any damage or destruction the Base Rent and all
Additional Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be proportionately reduced
from the date of casualty until the completion by Landlord of any repair or
restoration pursuant to this Article 12 (provided that the abatement period
shall not exceed twelve (12)

                                       18
<PAGE>

months). Said reduction shall be based upon the extent to which the damage or
the making of such repairs or restoration shall interfere with Tenant's business
conducted in the Premises.

        12.6 Landlord shall in no event be required or obligated to repair,
restore or replace any of Tenant's Personal Property. Landlord shall restore the
Tenant Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements (if any) to the extent of
insurance proceeds received by Landlord. In the event of a termination of this
Lease pursuant to this Article 12, Landlord shall pay to Tenant from the
proceeds of the insurance payable to Landlord with respect to the Tenant
Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements an amount equal to the unamortized
cost of Tenant's ownership interest in the Tenant Improvements and the Special
Tenant Improvements.

        12.7 In the event of a dispute by the parties regarding the extent of
damage, duration of repair or rights of termination under Article 12 or 13 only
of the Lease, either party can request arbitration within ninety (90) days after
the date of the damage has occurred. In such event the dispute shall be resolved
by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4 of
the Declaration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive
on the parties.

                           ARTICLE 13. EMINENT DOMAIN

        13.1 If all or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or
appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent
domain (or similar law authorizing the involuntary taking of private property,
which shall include a sale in lieu thereof to a public body), either party
hereto shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease effective as
of the date possession is taken by said authority, and Landlord shall be
entitled to any and all income, rent, award and any interest thereon whatsoever
which may be paid or made in connection with such public or quasi-public use or
purpose. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any portion of
Landlord's award and shall not make a claim for the value of any unexpired term
of this Lease.

        13.2 If only a portion of the Premises is taken such that the Premises
are still accessible and usable for the operation of Tenant's business, then
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the proceeds of the award
shall be used by Landlord to restore the remainder of the improvements on the
Premises so far as practicable to a complete unit of like quality and condition
to that which existed immediately prior to the taking, and all Rent payable by
Tenant hereunder shall be reduced in proportion to the floor area of the
Premises which is no longer available for Tenant's use. Landlord's restoration
work shall not exceed the scope of work done by Landlord in originally
constructing the Premises and the cost of such work shall not exceed the amount
of the award received by Landlord with respect to the Premises.

        13.3 Nothing hereinbefore contained shall be deemed to deny to Tenant
its right to seek a separate award from the condemning authority for the
unamortized costs of Tenant's ownership interest in the Tenant Improvements and
Special Tenant Improvements, damage to its trade fixtures and personal property,
relocation expenses or loss of goodwill.

                              ARTICLE 14. INSURANCE

        14.1 Tenant shall, at all times during the Term hereof, at its expense,
carry and maintain insurance policies in the amounts and in the form hereafter
provided:

        (a) COMMERCIAL LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE: Commercial general
liability insurance in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the general aggregate of
bodily injury and property damage insuring against liability of the insured with
respect to the Premises or arising from the maintenance, use or occupancy
thereof. All such insurance shall include contractual liability insurance for
the bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability assumed by
Tenant in Article 16 hereof. Said insurance shall provide that Landlord is named
as an additional insured and will have a "separation of insureds" clause.
Landlord's recovery under Tenant's insurance as an additional insured shall
apply to loss or damages resulting from Tenant's negligence and shall not be
restricted due to any contributory negligence on the part of Landlord. However,
Tenant's insurance shall not be responsible for loss or damage that is
determined to be due to the sole negligence of Landlord. The insurance by this
policy shall be primary insurance. The liability

                                       19
<PAGE>

insurance required to be provided by Tenant shall be applicable to claims
incurred by reason of events with respect to the Premises or arising from the
maintenance, use or occupancy thereof during the term of this Lease, regardless
of when such claims shall be first made against Tenant and/or Landlord. Should
any required liability insurance be written on a claims-made basis, Tenant shall
continue to provide evidence of such coverage beyond the term of this Lease, for
a period mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant at the time of termination,
but in no event for a period of less than five years. Not more frequently than
once each year, if in the opinion of Landlord's lender or of the insurance
consultant retained by Landlord, the amount of liability insurance coverage at
that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as
either required by Landlord's lender or recommended by Landlord's insurance
consultant.

        (b) TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY: Insurance covering all of Tenant's trade
fixtures, merchandise and other personal property from time to time in the
Premises in an amount equal to their full replacement cost from time to time,
providing protection against the "risks of physical damage" as provided in the
ISO Causes of Loss -- Special Form (CP 10 30), or equivalent insurance company
form. The proceeds of such insurance shall, so long as this Lease remains in
effect, be used to repair or replace the property damaged or destroyed, as
determined by Tenant.

        (c) WORKER'S COMPENSATION: Worker's Compensation insurance as required
by the State of California.

        (d) POLICY FORM: All insurance to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall
be in companies, on forms and with loss payable clauses satisfactory to
Landlord. The commercial liability and property damage insurance carried by
Tenant pursuant to Section 14.1(a) above shall name Landlord, its managers,
their officers, directors, partners, employees and agents as additional
insureds. Each policy shall include a notice of cancellation to additional
insured on the Additional Insured endorsement providing that no such policy
shall be canceled except upon thirty (30) days advance notice to all additional
insureds by the issuing company in the event of cancellation. Tenant shall have
the right to maintain required insurance under blanket policies provided that
Landlord and such parties as Landlord may reasonably designate from time are
named therein as additional insureds (as to Tenant's liability policies)and that
the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason
thereof, including self funded insurance reserves.

        (e) EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE: Concurrent with delivery of possession of the
Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following evidence of
insurance:

               (i) Certificate evidencing that each of the insurance policies
required in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) above are in full force and effect,
and

               (ii) A copy of the applicable provision or endorsement from each
of Tenant's policies specifying that Landlord and the parties designated by
Landlord are additional insureds, that the insurer recognizes the waiver of
subrogation set forth in Article 15 hereof, and that the insurer agrees not to
cancel the policy without the notice to Landlord specified in subparagraph (d)
above.

        14.2 Subject to reimbursement by Tenant as provided in Article 10
herein, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force during the term hereof, a policy
or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to Building 3 and improvements
on Landlord's Parcels. Landlord's insurance shall cover the "risks of physical
damage" as provided in the ISO Causes of Loss -- Special Form (CP 10 30), or
equivalent insurance company form, together with an endorsement providing for
rental income insurance covering all Rent payable by Tenant hereunder for a
period of twelve (12) months.

        14.3 Landlord's policy described in Section 14.2 shall also insure all
Tenant Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements for one hundred percent of
the replacement cost thereof, with an agreed amount endorsement in lieu of
coinsurance. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of the insurance covering the
Tenant Improvements and Special Tenant Improvements as provided in Article 10
herein. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's insurance on the Tenant and Special
Tenant Improvements will not include earthquake insurance. Upon Tenant's
request, Landlord shall obtain such coverage at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

                                       20
<PAGE>

        14.4 If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain any insurance policy
required herein, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), after reasonable
written notice to Tenant procure the same on Tenant's behalf, and the cost of
same shall be payable as Additional Rent within ten (10) business days after
written demand therefore by Landlord. Tenant's failure to pay such Additional
Rent shall constitute an Event of Default of this Lease, and Landlord may,
without any further notice, exercise its remedies specified in Article 25
hereof.

                        ARTICLE 15. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

        Any fire and special extended coverage insurance and any other property
damage insurance carried by either party with respect to Landlord's Parcels, the
Common Areas, the Premises and property contained in the Premises or occurrences
related to them shall include a clause or endorsement denying to the insurer
rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been
waived by the insured prior to occurrence of damage or loss. Each party,
notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, waives any right
of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by
insurance containing such clause or endorsement to the extent that the damage or
loss is covered by such insurance.

                        ARTICLE 16. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY

        16.1 Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against
and from any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or out of Tenant's use of the Premises
or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or other things
done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the Premises or Tenant's
reserved parking spaces. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all claims arising from any negligent act or
omission or willful misconduct of Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee,
contractor, guest, or invitee of Tenant, and from all costs, damages, attorneys'
fees, and liabilities incurred in defense of any such claim of any action or
proceeding brought thereon, including any action or proceeding brought against
Landlord by reason of such claim. Tenant, as a material part of the
consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons in the Premises, from any cause except to the extent arising
out of or resulting from Landlord's (or its agents', employees' or contractors')
negligent act or omission or willful misconduct. Tenant shall give prompt notice
to Landlord in case of casualty or accidents in the Premises.

        16.2 Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant against
and from any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or out of any activity, work, or other
things done by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors in or about the
Outdoor Areas and Common Areas on Landlord's Parcels. Landlord shall further
indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims arising from
the negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any officer,
agent, employee, or contractor of Landlord while on any of Landlord's Parcels or
Buildings, and from all costs, damages, attorneys' fees, and liabilities
incurred in defense of any such claim of any action or proceeding brought
thereon, including any action or proceeding brought against Tenant by reason of
such claim.

        16.3 Except to the extent arising out of or resulting from Landlord's
negligent act or omission or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable
for injury or damage which may be sustained by the person, goods, wares,
merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers, or by
any other person in or about the Premises caused by or resulting from fire,
building vibrations or movement of floor slab, steam, electricity, gas, water or
rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures of the same, whether
said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or from
other sources. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act
or neglect of any other tenant of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall limit any representations, warranties or
covenants of Landlord set forth in this Lease, or any warranties provided with
respect to work performed by Landlord's contractors. Further, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the terms of Article 12 shall govern with respect to any events
of casualty.

<PAGE>

                     ARTICLE 17. INSOLVENCY, ETC. OF TENANT

        17.1 The filing of any petition in bankruptcy whether voluntary or
involuntary, or the adjudication of Tenant as bankrupt or insolvent, or the
appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or substantially
all of Tenant's assets, or an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of its
creditors, or any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any State or Federal
insolvency or bankruptcy act including, without limitation, the filing of a
petition for or in reorganization, or the taking or seizure under levy of
execution or attachment of the Premises or any part thereof, shall constitute a
breach of this Lease by Tenant, and in any one or more of said events this Lease
shall be deemed terminated to the extent such result is permitted by relevant
bankruptcy laws and statutes.

        17.2 Landlord shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision of this
Lease to the contrary, upon re-entry of the Premises in case of a breach under
this Article, to recover from Tenant as damages, and not as a penalty, such
amounts as are specified in Article 25, unless any statute governing the
proceeding in which such damages are to be proved shall lawfully limit the
amount thereof capable of proof, in which later event Landlord shall be entitled
to recover as and for its damages the maximum amount permitted under said
statute.

                  ARTICLE 18. PERSONAL PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES

        18.1 Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes and
assessments, sales, use, business, occupation or other taxes, and license fees
or other charges whatever levied, assessed or imposed upon its business
operations conducted in the Premises. Tenant shall also pay, before delinquency,
any and all taxes and assessments levied, assessed or imposed upon its
equipment, furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures, merchandise and other
personal property in, on or upon the Premises.

        18.2 Tenant shall pay all taxes and assessments levied, assessed or
imposed on Tenant's trade fixtures and its leasehold improvements, regardless of
whether such improvements were installed and/or paid for by Tenant or by
Landlord, and regardless of whether or not the same are deemed to be a part of
the Building.

        18.3 Tenant shall pay (or reimburse Landlord therefor forthwith on
demand) any excise tax, gross receipts tax, or any other tax however designated,
and whether charged to Landlord, or to Tenant, or to either or both of them,
which is imposed on or measured by or based on the rentals to be paid under this
Lease, or any estate or interest of Tenant, or any occupancy, use or possession
of the Premises by Tenant.

        18.4 Nothing hereinabove contained in this Article shall be construed as
requiring Tenant to pay any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift,
franchise, income or profits tax or taxes imposed upon Landlord.

                                ARTICLE 19. SIGNS

        Tenant shall not place, construct or maintain on the windows, doors or
exterior walls or roof of the Premises or any interior portions that may be
visible from the exterior of the Premises, any signs, advertisements, names,
trademarks or other similar item without Landlord's consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the signage Tenant installs
complies with all Legal Requirements and the master sign program for the Center.
Upon written notice from Landlord specifying the violation in reasonable detail,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost, remove any item so placed or maintained which
does not comply with the provisions of this Section. Landlord agrees that
Landlord shall not install or permit the installation of signs or billboards on
the exterior walls and/or the roof of the Premises.

               See Addendum 32.25.

                      ARTICLE 20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

        20.1 Subject to the terms of Section 20.4, Tenant shall not voluntarily,
involuntarily, or by operation of law assign, transfer, hypothecate, or
otherwise encumber this Lease or Tenant's interest therein, and shall not sublet
nor permit the use by others of the Premises or any part thereof without first
obtaining in each instance Landlord's written consent. If consent is once given
by Landlord to any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation or subletting, such
consent shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's
consent to any subsequent

                                       22
<PAGE>

assignment, transfer, hypothecation or sublease, and no assignment shall release
Tenant from any liability hereunder. Any such assignment or transfer without
Landlord's consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute an
Event of Default of this Lease. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest
therein, be assignable as to Tenant's interest by operation of law, without
Landlord's express prior written consent.

        20.2 The consent of Landlord required under Section 20.1 above shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should Landlord withhold its consent for
any of the following reasons, the withholding shall be deemed to be reasonable:

        (a)     Conflict of the proposed use with other uses in the Building or
                Center;

        (b)     Financial inadequacy of the proposed subtenant or assignee;

        (c)     A proposed use which would diminish the reputation of the Center
                or the other businesses located therein;

        (d)     A proposed use which would have a detrimental impact on the
                common facilities or the other tenants in the Center.

        20.3 Each assignee or transferee shall agree to assume and be deemed to
have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally
with Tenant for the payment of all rents due here under, and for the due
performance during the term of all the covenants and conditions herein set forth
by Tenant to be performed. No assignment or transfer shall be effective or
binding on Landlord unless said assignee or transferee shall, concurrently,
deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement by said assignee or transferee
assuming all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

        20.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord's consent
shall not be required for any assignment, transfer or sublease to any entity
which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or to any
entity resulting from a reorganization, merger or sale of substantially all of
the assets of Tenant. The term "CONTROL" shall mean the ownership of at least
50% of the stock or assets of Tenant. Further, Landlord's consent shall not be
required for any offering of the stock of Tenant on the public market or any
open market transactions involving the stock of Tenant. If Tenant is not a
publicly traded corporation, or if Tenant is an unincorporated association or a
partnership, the transfer, assignment, or hypothecation or any stock or interest
in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate of in excess of
fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this
Article, except transfers in connection with Tenant becoming a publicly traded
corporation. Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice of all transfers,
whether or not consent is required, and in no event shall Tenant be released
from any of its obligations under this Lease.

        20.5 If Tenant intends to assign this Lease and Landlord's consent to
such assignment is required, Tenant shall give prior written notice to Landlord
of each such proposed assignment or subletting specifying the proposed assignee
or subtenant and the terms of such proposed assignment or sublease. Landlord
shall, within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, notify Tenant in writing
either, that (i) it consents (subject to any conditions of consent that may be
imposed by Landlord) or does not consent to such transaction, or (ii) it elects
to cancel this Lease in which event the parties would have no further
obligations to each other except with respect to obligations which arose prior
to the effective date of termination or which otherwise survive the termination
of this Lease.

        20.6 In the event of an assignment or subletting which requires
Landlord's consent pursuant to this Article 20, Tenant shall assign to Landlord
75% of any and all consideration paid to Tenant directly or indirectly for the
assignment by Tenant of its leasehold interest, and 75% of any and all
subrentals payable by sublessees to Tenant which are in excess of the Rent
payable by Tenant hereunder. Tenant's brokerage fees shall be paid by Tenant and
deducted from excess proceeds on a pro rata basis monthly over the term of the
sublease.

        20.7 Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable costs
and attorneys fees' incurred in connection with the processing and documentation
of any requested assignment, transfer, hypothecation or

                                       23
<PAGE>

subletting of this Lease aforesaid, whether or not such consent is granted, in
an amount not to exceed $2500 in each instance.

                     ARTICLE 21. RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD

        Subject to Tenant's reasonable security and trade secret requirements,
upon reasonable prior notice, Landlord or its agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises for the purposes of:

        (a)     Inspection of the Premises and the equipment therein, not to
                exceed once per calendar quarter (or not to exceed once per year
                for inspections of any clean room), except in the event of an
                emergency or unless a known problem exists or Landlord is
                responding to a third party complaint involving the Premises;

        (b)     Making repairs or improvements to the Premises and/or Building 3
                which are the responsibility of Landlord under the terms of this
                Lease;

        (c)     Performing remodeling, construction or other work incidental to
                any portion of the Building 3, including, without limitation,
                the premises of another tenant adjacent to, above or below the
                Premises. Landlord agrees to coordinate the timing and staging
                of any major construction program with Tenant

        (d)     Showing the Premises to persons wishing to purchase or make a
                mortgage loan upon the same;

        (e)     Posting notice of non-responsibility;

        (f)     Posting "For Lease" signs and showing the Premises to persons
                wishing to rent the Premises during the last six (6) months of
                the term of this Lease.

                        ARTICLE 22. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                    ARTICLE 23. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM

        All covenants to be performed by Tenant hereunder shall be performed by
Tenant at its sole cost and expense and without any abatement of any rent to be
paid hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum, other than rent, required to be paid by it or
shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed, and such
failure shall continue beyond the applicable notice and grace period set forth
in Article 25, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) and without waiving
or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, make any such payment or
perform any such other act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as herein
provided. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs,
together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by
Landlord shall be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days
after Landlord's written demand therefor. Tenant's failure to pay such
Additional Rent shall constitute an Event of Default of this Lease, and Landlord
may, without any further notice, exercise its remedies specified in Article 25
hereof.

                          ARTICLE 24. LANDLORD DEFAULT

        24.1 If Landlord shall be in default of any covenant of this Lease to be
performed by it, Tenant, prior to exercising any right or remedy it may have
against Landlord on account thereof, shall give Landlord a thirty (30) day
written notice of such default, specifying the nature of such default.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant agrees
that if the default specified in said notice is of such nature that it can be
cured by Landlord, but cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, then such default shall be deemed cured if Landlord
within said thirty (30) days period shall have commenced the curing thereof and
shall continue thereafter with all due diligence to cause such curing to proceed
to completion.

                                       24
<PAGE>

        24.2 If Landlord shall fail to cure a default of any covenant of this
Lease to be performed by it within the time period provided in Section 24.1, the
same shall be deemed an Event of Default by Landlord and, subject to Section
24.3, Tenant may pursue all remedies available at law or in equity and may
recover all costs and expenses incurred by Tenant by reason of such default by
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall recover a money
judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied solely out of the
right, title and interest of Landlord in the Premises and its underlying realty
and out of the rents, or other income from said property receivable by Landlord,
or out of the consideration received by Landlord's right, title and interest in
said property, but neither Landlord nor any partner or joint venture of Landlord
shall be personally liable for any deficiency.

        24.3 Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee and/or trust deed holders
("MORTGAGEE"), by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon
the 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. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have
failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the
Mortgagee shall have an additional sixty (60) 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 shall be granted if
within such sixty (60) days Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing
the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to,
commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in
which event the Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued.

                        ARTICLE 25. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

        25.1 The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "EVENT
OF DEFAULT" under this Lease by Tenant:

        (a) Any failure by Tenant to pay when due any of the Rent required to be
paid by Tenant hereunder where such failure continues for five (5) business days
after Tenant's receipt of written notice that the same is overdue;

        (b) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, that
if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot with due diligence be
cured within said period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it
shall within said period commence such during and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion;

        (c) Any default by Tenant under any other lease between Landlord and
Tenant for other premises in the Center;

        (d) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises, provided that if Tenant
has vacated the Premises and is actively seeking a subtenant or assignee, no
default shall be deemed to exist under this Lease so long as Tenant is paying
the Rent required to be paid hereunder; and

        (e) Any other event herein specified to be an Event of Default under
this Lease.

        25.2 In the event of any Event of Default by Tenant as aforesaid, in
addition to any and all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in
equity, Landlord shall have the right to immediately terminate this Lease and
all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice to Tenant of its
election to do so. If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, then it may
recover from Tenant:

        (a) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent payable
hereunder which had been earned at the date of such termination; plus

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

                                       25
<PAGE>

        (c) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount
of such rental loss which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

        (d) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or
which, in the ordinary course of affairs, would likely result therefrom; and

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

        25.3 As used in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time
of the award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve (12%)
percent per annum (the "INTEREST RATE"). As used in subparagraph (c) above, the
"worth at the time of the award" is computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award plus one (1%) percent.

        25.4 Following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord
shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter
the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom, and any such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost and for the account of Tenant, all in accordance with all Legal
Requirements.

        25.5 If Landlord (in accordance with California Civil Code Section
1951.4) shall elect to re-enter as above provided or shall take possession of
the Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by
law, and if Landlord has not elected to terminate this Lease, Landlord may
continue this Lease and may either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet
the Premises or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms and upon such
provisions as Landlord, in its sole judgment, may deem advisable and shall have
the right to make repairs to and alterations of the Premises.

        25.6 If Landlord shall elect to relet as aforesaid, then rentals
received by Landlord therefrom shall be applied as follows:

        (a) to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than
rent due hereunder from Tenant;

        (b) to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with such reletting;

        (c) to the payment of the cost of any alterations of and repairs to the
Premises; and

        (d) to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same
may become due and payable hereunder.

        In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rental received by
Landlord over and above that which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder. Should
that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month,
which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable
hereunder during that month by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord forthwith upon demand, and said deficiency shall be calculated and paid
monthly. Tenant shall also pay Landlord as soon as ascertained and upon demand,
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting
and in making any such alterations and repairs which are not covered by the
rentals received from such reletting.

        25.7 No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under
this Article shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination
thereof be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any
reletting without termination by Landlord because of Tenant's default, Landlord
may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease because of
such default.

                                       26
<PAGE>

        25.8 Nothing contained in this Article shall constitute a waiver of
Landlord's right to recover damages by reason of Landlord's efforts to mitigate
the damages to it caused by Tenant's default; nor shall anything in this Article
adversely affect Landlord's right, as in this Lease elsewhere provided, to
indemnification against liability for injury or damage to persons or property
occurring prior to a termination of this Lease.

        25.9 Subject only to Article 31, if Landlord shall retain an attorney
for the purpose of collecting any rental due from Tenant or enforcing any other
covenant of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees of such attorney
for his services regardless of the fact that no legal proceeding or action may
have been filed or commenced.

        25.10 Any unpaid rent and any other sums due and payable hereunder by
Tenant shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate per annum from the due
date and until payment thereof.

        25.11 The terms "RENT," "RENT" and "RENTAL" as used herein and elsewhere
in this Lease shall be deemed to be and mean the Base Rent, all Additional Rent,
rental adjustments and any and all other sums, however designated, required to
be paid by Tenant hereunder.

        25.12 Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix.
Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and
note secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any
installment of rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due more
than once in any calendar year during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent an additional sum of six percent (6%) of the overdue rent as a
late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late
payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver
of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord
from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.

        25.13 If Landlord shall retain a collection agency for the purpose of
collecting any moneys due from Tenant arising out of an Event of Default
hereunder, Tenant shall pay all fees of such collection agency for their
services.

             ARTICLE 26. PRIORITY OF LEASE AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

        26.1 At Landlord's election, this Lease shall be either superior to or
subordinate to any and all trust deeds, mortgages, or other security
instruments, ground leases, or leaseback financing arrangements now existing or
which may hereafter be executed covering the Premises and/or the land underlying
the same or any part or parts of either thereof, and for the full amount of all
advances made or to be made thereunder together with interest thereon, and
subject to all the provisions thereof, all without the necessity of having
further instruments executed by Tenant to effectuate the same. Tenant agrees to
execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request by Landlord any and all documents
or instruments which are or may be deemed necessary or proper by Landlord to
more fully and certainly assure the superiority or the subordination of this
Lease and to any such trust deeds, mortgages or other security instruments,
ground leases, or leasebacks provided that as a condition to any such
subordination and if this Lease shall be made subordinate to any future security
instrument, any person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest
at a foreclosure sale under said trust deed, mortgages or other security
instruments, or by termination of said ground leases or leasebacks, shall
continue this Lease in full force and effect in the same manner as if such
person or persons had been named as Landlord herein and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as aforesaid, and Tenant shall automatically
become the tenant of Landlord's successor in interest and shall attorn to said
successor in interest. The words "PERSON" and "PERSONS" as used herein or
elsewhere in this Lease shall mean individuals, partnerships, firms,
associations and corporations.

               See Addendum A-26.1.

        26.2 Landlord and Tenant shall at any time and from time to time
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party hereto, within ten (10)
business days after such party's written request therefor, a written statement
certifying as follows:

                                       27
<PAGE>

        (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force (or if there has
been modification thereof, that the same is in full force as modified and
stating the nature thereof);

        (b) that to the best of its knowledge, there are no uncured defaults or
matters which, upon the passage of time and the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default or breach by Tenant or Landlord, as applicable (or if such
exist, the specific nature and extent);

        (c) that no claims or defenses exist on the part of the certifying party
and no events exist that would constitute a basis for such claim or defense (or
if such exist, the specific nature and extent);

        (d) the date to which any rents and other charges have been paid in
advance, if any;

        (e) such other matters which are reasonably requested by the requesting
party with respect to the Lease and its status, including status of
construction; and

        (f) in the case of Tenant's certificate, that Tenant will not enter into
any agreements or modification of the Lease without the prior written consent of
the lender specified by Landlord, provided such consent would not be
unreasonably withheld.

        If Landlord or Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver any such
statement to the requesting party within ten (10) business days, the requesting
party may deliver a second written notice requesting the statement. If the party
required to deliver the statement fails to make such delivery within five (5)
business days following such second notice, the failure shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder entitling the requesting party to pursue available
remedies as set forth in this Lease.

        26.3 At Landlord's election, this Lease shall be subordinate to any and
all encumbrances, covenants, restrictions, conditions and easements of record
now existing or which hereafter may be executed ("RECORD MATTERS") covering the
Premises and/or the land underlying the same or any parts thereof without the
necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effectuate the
same, provided that any future encumbrances shall be subject to the provision of
Section 26.1 above and any other Record Matters recorded after the date of this
Lease shall not materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises.
Landlord hereby confirms that it has no present knowledge of the existence of
any encumbrances, covenants, restrictions, conditions or easements of record
which now exist, or which will be recorded in the future with respect to Parcel
3, that would materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises other
than those shown in the title report for Center attached hereto as Exhibit H.

                            ARTICLE 27. HOLDING OVER

        If, without the execution of a new lease or written extension of this
Lease, and with the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall hold over after the
expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the
Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, which tenancy may be terminated as
provided by law. During said tenancy, the Base Rent payable to Landlord by
Tenant shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent set forth in
Article 3 of this Lease which is payable immediately preceding the date of
expiration of this Lease, and upon all of the other terms, covenants and
conditions set forth in this Lease so far as the same are applicable.

        If Tenant shall holdover and fail to surrender the Premises upon the
termination of this Lease without Landlord's consent, in addition to any other
liabilities to Landlord arising therefrom, Tenant shall and does hereby agree to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from loss or liability resulting from such
failure including, but not limited to, claims made by any succeeding tenant
founded on such failure.

                               ARTICLE 28. NOTICES

        All notices, approvals, demands, consents or other communications
required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been given when personally served or received by certified mail,

                                       28
<PAGE>

postage prepaid, or on the next business day sent by telefax, Express Mail,
Federal Express or similar reputable overnight delivery service, addressed to
the appropriate party at the address indicated next to each party's signature
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices during the initial construction of
the Premises relating to construction matters shall be governed by the
provisions of Exhibit C.

                                ARTICLE 29. LIENS

        29.1 Tenant shall pay all costs for work done by it or caused to be done
by it in the Premises and Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Center free and
clear of all mechanics' liens and other liens of account or work done for Tenant
or persons claiming under it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have
no responsibility or liability with respect to liens filed with respect to the
Base Building, and Tenant Improvements or any other work performed by Landlord
pursuant to Article 8, Exhibit C or otherwise. Tenant agrees to and shall
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against liability, loss, damage, costs,
attorneys' fees, and any other expenses on account of claims of liens of
laborers or materialmen for work performed or materials or supplies furnished
for Tenant or persons claiming under it. If any such lien shall attach to the
Premises or the Center by reason of any work performed by Tenant, Tenant shall
promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) days thereafter, discharge it as a
matter of record or bond over it. If necessary to accomplish same, Tenant shall
furnish and record a bond to insure the protection of Landlord, the Premises,
and the Center (including all buildings located thereon or of which they form a
part) from loss by virtue of any such lien.

        29.2 Any bond furnished by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section
29.1 above shall be a lien release bond issued by a corporation authorized to
issue surety bonds in the State of California in an amount equal to one and
one-half the amount of such claim of lien. The bond shall meet the requirements
of Civil Code Section 3143 and shall provide for the payment of any sum that the
claimant may recover on the claim, together with said lien claimant's costs of
suit if he recovers therein.

        29.3 If a mechanics' lien which is Tenant's responsibility pursuant to
Section 29.1 above has been filed, and Tenant shall not have discharged same of
record within the time permitted by that Section, Landlord may (but shall not be
obligated to) pay said claim and any costs, and the amount so paid, together
with reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within five (5) days after
written demand therefor. Tenant's failure to pay such Additional Rent shall
constitute an Event of Default of this Lease, and Landlord may, without any
further notice, exercise its remedies specified in Article 25 hereof.

        29.4 Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to commencing any work
which might result in a lien as aforesaid, give Landlord written notice of its
intention to commence such work, to enable Landlord to post, file and record a
legally effective notice of non-responsibility. Landlord or its representatives
shall have the right to enter into the Premises and inspect the same at all
reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep posted thereon said
notices of non-responsibility and such other notices as Landlord may deem proper
to protect its interest therein.

                           ARTICLE 30. QUIET ENJOYMENT

        Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon payment of the Base Rent, Additional
Rent, and all other sums and charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder,
and the due and punctual performance of all of Tenant's other covenants and
obligations under this Lease, shall have the quiet and undisturbed possession of
the Premises.

                           ARTICLE 31. ATTORNEYS' FEES

        Should either party hereto institute any action or proceeding in court
to enforce any provision hereof or for damages or for declaratory or other
relief hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the
losing party, in addition to court costs, such amount as the court may adjudge
to be reasonable as attorneys' fees for services rendered to said prevailing
party, and said amount may be made a part of the judgment against the losing
party.

                                       29
<PAGE>

                            ARTICLE 32. MISCELLANEOUS

        32.1 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed as
creating a partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant or between
Landlord and any other party, or cause Landlord to be in any manner responsible
for the debts or obligations of Tenant, or any other party. The covenants in
this Lease are made between the parties to the Lease and shall not be deemed or
construed as creating any rights in any other party claiming to be a third party
beneficiary of this agreement.

        32.2 If any provision of this Lease shall be determined to be void or
voidable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not
affect any other provision of this Lease and all such other provisions shall
remain in effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if any
provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would
render the provision void or voidable and the other of which would render the
provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it
valid.

        32.3 If Tenant hereunder is a corporation or partnership, the parties
executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent and warrant to Landlord that:
they are authorized to enter into this Lease; this Lease is executed in the
usual course of business of Tenant and that neither the corporate Articles nor
Bylaws of Tenant or any partnership agreement of Tenant, as the case may be,
require the consent of its shareholders or partners, as applicable, thereto;
Tenant is a valid and existing corporation or partnership, as applicable; all
things necessary to qualify Tenant to do business in California have been
accomplished prior to the date of this Lease; all franchise and other taxes have
been paid to the date of this Lease; all forms, reports, fees, and taxes
required to be filed or paid by Tenant in compliance with all Legal Requirements
will be filed and paid when due.

        32.4 The entire agreement between the parties hereto is set forth in
this Lease, and any agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change,
modify, alter or discharge it in whole or in part unless such agreement is in
writing and signed by both parties hereto. It is further understood that there
are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease, and that
this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations,
arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the
parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject
matter of this Lease, and none of the same shall be available to interpret or
construe this Lease. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both
parties hereto have been merged into and are included in this Lease.

        32.5 Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies
in the Center. Tenant does not rely on the fact nor does Landlord represent that
any specific tenant or number of tenants shall during the term of this Lease
occupy any space in any Building.

        32.6 The laws of the State of California shall govern the validity,
performance and enforcement of this Lease. Should either party institute legal
suit or action for enforcement of any obligation herein, it is agreed that the
venue of such suit or action shall be in Alameda County, California, and Tenant
expressly consents to Landlord's designating Alameda County as the venue of any
such suit or action.

        32.7 A waiver of any breach or default shall not be a waiver of any
other breach or default. Landlord's consent to or approval of, any act by Tenant
requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by
Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of any rental or other payments due hereunder
with knowledge of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease by Tenant
shall not be construed as a waiver of any such breach. The acceptance at any
time or times by Landlord of any sum less than that which is required to be paid
by Tenant shall, unless Landlord specifically agrees otherwise in writing, be
deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is
paid, and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary written on any check or contained in a letter of
transmittal.

        32.8 Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor
disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable
substitutes therefore, failure of power, governmental restrictions, regulations
or controls, enemy or hostile governmental action, riot, civil commotion, fire
or other casualty, inclement weather beyond seasonal norm and other causes of a
like nature beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to

                                       30
<PAGE>

perform (any such event being "FORCE MAJEURE"), shall excuse the performance by
such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, except
that Tenant's obligations to pay Rent and any other sums or charges specifically
due and payable pursuant to this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

        32.9 The term "LANDLORD" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and
include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Premises, and in
the event of any transfer or transfers of title thereto, Landlord herein named
(and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall
be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or
conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or
obligations hereunder of the part of Landlord to be performed thereafter.

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

        32.11 Although the printed provisions of this Lease were prepared and
drawn by Landlord, this Lease shall not be construed either for or against
Landlord or Tenant, but its construction shall be at all times in accord with
the general tenor of the language so as to reach a fair and equitable result.

        32.12 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any and all
"approvals", "consents" and "permissions" that either party is obligated or
required to provide under this Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

        32.13 Upon Landlord's written request not more often than once per year,
Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord, from time to time, financial
statements reflecting Tenant's current financial condition. If Tenant is a
publicly held company, Tenant may furnish to Landlord Tenant's most recent
publicly filed annual or quarterly report to satisfy this request.

        32.14 Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each of
the covenants and agreements of this Lease.

        32.15 Each and all of the provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and (except as set forth in
Section 32.9 above and as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this
Lease), their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns,
subject at all times to all provisions and restrictions elsewhere in this Lease
respecting the assignment, transfer, encumbering or subletting of all or any
part of the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease.

               See Addendum A-32.15.

        32.16 Submission of this instrument by or on behalf of Landlord for
examination or execution by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or
option for lease, and this instrument shall not be effective as a lease or
otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.

        32.17 The captions shown in this Lease are for convenience or reference
only, and shall not, in any manner, be utilized to construe the scope or the
intent of any provisions thereof.

        32.18 This Lease shall not be recorded, but Tenant may record a short
form Memorandum of this Lease at its expense and Landlord agrees to execute such
a memorandum in a form reasonably approved by Landlord upon Tenant's request. In
such event, upon Landlord's written request Tenant agrees to execute a quitclaim
deed at the end of the term relinquishing any interest in the Premises.

        32.19 Intentionally Deleted.

        32.20 All agreements herein by Tenant, whether expressed as covenants or
conditions, shall be deemed to be conditions for the purpose of this Lease.

                                       31
<PAGE>

        32.21 The parties represent and warrant to each other that each has not
dealt with any real estate agent other than Colliers International, as to
Landlord, and The Staubach Company as to Tenant. Each agrees to indemnify and
hold the other harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses incurred by
reason of the breach of such representation and warranty. Landlord shall be
responsible for paying all commissions due, in accordance with the terms of a
separate written agreement.

        32.22 The terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute
proprietary information of the parties. Neither party, nor its respective
employees or agents, shall disclose the terms of this Lease to any other person
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent may
be withheld in such party's sole discretion. However, either party may disclose

<PAGE>

                                ADDENDUM TO LEASE

        A-2.1 OPTIONS TO RENEW. Provided that no Event of Default by Tenant
under this Lease exists as of the date of exercise of the applicable option or
at the expiration of the initial term or preceding Option Term, and provided
further that Tenant has not assigned this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to
extend the initial lease term for four (4) additional, successive terms of five
(5) years each (each, an "OPTION TERM"). Tenant shall exercise the option, if at
all, by delivering to Landlord written notice of the exercise no sooner than
fifteen (15) months nor later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of
the initial Lease Term or preceding Option Term, as applicable. Tenant's right
to exercise each option shall be conditioned upon Tenant delivering to Landlord
with Tenant's notice of exercise, current financial reports which evidence that
Tenant's financial condition on the date of exercise is equal to or better than
Tenant's financial condition on the date of execution of this Lease. If Tenant's
financial condition has declined in Landlord's business judgment, Landlord may
refuse to accept Tenant's exercise unless Tenant agrees to provide a new
Letter(s) of Credit with terms and amounts acceptable to Landlord in its
business judgment to secure Tenant's obligations during the applicable Option
Term.

        All terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect during the Option Terms, provided that Tenant
shall have no additional option periods and the Base Rent payable during the
first Lease Year of each Option Term (and for increases during the Option Term,
as applicable) shall be the market rate then prevailing as projected for the
commencement of the applicable Option Term, for premises comparable in size,
quality and location in comparable class R&D/Office buildings throughout the
Tri-Valley/Livermore area taking into account all relevant factors (the "MARKET
RENT"). Base Rent for the Option Term shall be determined prior to the
commencement of the applicable Option Term in the following manner:

        If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the market rent within
sixty (60) days after Tenant gives notice of its exercise of the Option Term,
then Tenant shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the option by
delivering written notice within ten (10) days following the expiration of such
60-day period. In the event of such revocation, Tenant shall forfeit all rights
to thereafter exercise any option under this Lease and the Lease shall terminate
at the end of the initial term, or then Option Term, as applicable. If Tenant
does not revoke its exercise and elects to proceed with the determination of
market rent, then the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable during the
Option Term shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner:

        If Landlord and Tenant can agree on a single appraiser, then the rate
set by such appraiser as set forth below shall be the Base Rent for the Option
Term. If the parties cannot agree on a single appraiser, then each party, by
giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint as an appraiser an
experienced commercial real estate agent in the area in which the Premises are
located. Said appointment shall be made within ten (10) days following the
expiration of the sixty (60) day period aforesaid, and if one of the parties
does not appoint an appraiser within that time, the single appraiser named shall
be the sole appraiser and shall set the monthly Base Rent for the Option Term.

        If the two appraisers are appointed as provided herein, each shall
independently prepare an estimate of the market rent within sixty (60) days. If
the higher of the two estimates so determined is within ten percent (10%) of the
lower estimate, then the monthly Base Rent to be paid by Tenant during the
Option Term shall be the average of the amounts determined by the appraisers. If
the difference between the two estimates exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lower
one, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the
qualifications set forth hereinabove within ten (10) days thereafter who will
likewise independently estimate the market rate within sixty (60) days after the
appointment. The average of the two closest appraisals shall be set as the
monthly Base Rent.

        Each party shall pay the fees of the appraiser appointed by such party
and the parties will share equally the fees of any third appraiser appointed
pursuant to this Section A-2.1.

<PAGE>

        Notwithstanding the above, the Base Rent payable by Tenant during each
Option Term shall be in addition to all Additional Rent and other sums and
charges payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease.

        Tenant acknowledges that the options granted herein are personal to
Tenant and may not be assigned with an assignment of this Lease except in
connection with an assignment to an entity which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Tenant (as defined in Article 20 of this Lease) or
which is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or sale of substantially
all of Tenant's assets with Landlord's prior written consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld.

A-4.7.HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Landlord hereby represents that it has, prior to the
date of this Lease, provided to Tenant copies of all environmental reports in
its possession, regarding the presence of Hazardous Substances at the Center or
upon, around or under Parcel 3. Except as specifically disclosed in the reports
delivered to Tenant, Landlord represents and warrants that to its actual
knowledge, Landlord does not know of any Hazardous Substances in the Center.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless for any claims, costs
or liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or relating to any breach
or misrepresentation by Landlord of the foregoing representation and warranty.
Landlord's confidentiality obligations under Section 4.7 and its indemnity
obligations pursuant to this Section A-4.7 shall survive the termination of this
Lease.

A-4.8 DECLARATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.8, Landlord shall
not amend the Declaration in a manner which (i) reduces the number of Tenant's
exclusive parking spaces on Parcel 3, (ii) restricts Tenant 's permitted use
described in Article 4, (iii) adversely and materially affects Tenant's access
to or from Parcel 3 and Lawrence Road or South Front Road or (iv) increases the
share of Common Area Costs assessed against Parcel 3 or Parcel 3's proportionate
share of Shared Maintenance Costs, without the prior written consent of Tenant
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

A-9.3 REPAIRS BY TENANT. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4, except
to the extent necessary due to damage caused by the negligence of Tenant, its
employees, agents or contractors, Tenant shall have no obligation to replace the
HVAC system or any other essential building system serving Building 3
(specifically excluding any special HVAC system for Tenant's operations in the
Premises, such as the HVAC serving any "clean room", the replacement of which
shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense) within the last eighteen (18) months
of the Term. If any such replacement is necessary, Landlord and Tenant shall
mutually agree on the type of equipment to be installed and a commercially
reasonable cost sharing arrangement which will take into account the number of
years of the useful life of such equipment or system which will occur following
the expiration of the Term. If Tenant subsequently exercises an option to extend
the Lease, however, the replacement shall be at Tenant's sole option, cost and
expense and within thirty (30) days after Tenant's exercise of the option,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all amounts previously paid by Landlord for
the system replaced.

A-9.5.TENANT EQUIPMENT/IMPROVEMENTS. The equipment Tenant initially intends to
install in the Premises is described on Exhibit C attached hereto. If landlord
wishes to require removal of any Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall designate
as a part of its approval pursuant to the terms of Exhibit C of the plans for
Tenant's Work, any Tenant Improvements and/or Special Tenant Improvements (if
any) or equipment which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the expiration
of the Term. In connection with any such required removal by Tenant, Tenant
shall repair all damage caused by such removal.

        A-12.2. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If the Premises is damaged to an extent
greater than 75% of its replacement cost, and Landlord has given Tenant notice
of its election to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 12.2, this Lease
shall terminate upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant
of such notice unless Tenant shall elect, by notice to Landlord within such
30-day period, to repair or restore the Premises. If Tenant so elects, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to make
repairs and restoration as soon as reasonably possible and the rent shall be
abated as provided in Section 12.5 of the Lease. Subject to the rights of
Landlord's lender, the proceeds of Landlord's insurance allocable to Building 3
and available for rebuilding shall be deposited into a construction escrow for
the purpose of rebuilding and periodically disbursed to Tenant pursuant to
procedures mutually agreed to by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord's lender. All
costs in excess of the escrowed insurance proceeds shall be paid by Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not have the right to elect to
rebuild unless there are at least five (5) full Lease Years remaining on the
term of its Lease.

<PAGE>

A-26.1. NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain an agreement from Landlord's existing construction lender
prior to the Delivery date to not disturb Tenant's possession under this Lease
so long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations hereunder.

        A-32.15. RESTRICTION ON SALE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
32.15 of the Lease, during the term of this Lease and provided that Tenant is
not then in default of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord
shall not sell Parcel 3 or Building 3 to an entity on Tenant's competitor list
which is attached hereto as Exhibit I without Tenant's prior written consent,
which may be withheld in Tenant's sole discretion.

        A-32.24. BUILDING SALE NOTICE RIGHTS. Landlord shall provide written
notice to Tenant the first time Landlord responds in writing to a new interested
third party to purchase Building 3, provided that Tenant is not then in default
of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period. Landlord shall only be required
to notify Tenant of third party interest one time with respect to the Building.
Tenant shall have five (5) days to indicate its interest in negotiating a sale.
Landlord may negotiate concurrently with Tenant and interested third party(ies).
Landlord's obligation to notify Tenant as described herein shall in no way
obligate Landlord to sell Building 3 to Tenant. Tenant's notice rights shall
expire upon Landlord's execution of a sale agreement with a third party.

        A- 32.25. PARKING. Parcel 3 has been allocated 117 parking stalls
assuming that roll-up doors are not required by Tenant. Throughout the Term of
the Lease, all parking on Parcel 3 shall be for Tenant's exclusive use. Tenant
is also leasing from Landlord the buildings designated as "Building 1",
"Building 2" and "Building 5" on Exhibit A. So long as Tenant's lease of
Building 1 is in effect, Tenant may use a portion of the parking spaces on
Parcel 1 in connection with its use of Building 3, so long as the Tenant's lease
of Building 2 is in effect, Tenant may use a portion of the parking spaces on
Parcel 2 in connection with its use of Building 3 and so long as the Tenant's
lease of Building 5 is in effect, Tenant may use a portion of the parking spaces
on Parcel 5 in connection with its use of Building 3.

        A-32.26 SIGNAGE. All of Tenant' s signage at the Premises and Parcel 1
must be in accordance with the City-approved master sign program for the Center.
The program provides 2' x 16' signage areas at each entry structure and a 2'6" x
5'0" signage area on a monument at the street in front of each building.
Tenant's corporate logo and trade style are permitted to be used in accordance
with the parameters of the sign program. Any additional signage outside the
scope of the master signage program shall be subject to the approval of the
Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the City of Livermore.
Subject to City and Landlord's approval, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install
a temporary sign or banner in the Center, in a location approved by Landlord,
announcing the Center as Tenant's new headquarters location.

        A-32.27 USE OF ROOF. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has reserved the
right to use the roof of Building 3, including the right to lease or license its
use. Tenant and no employee or invitee of Tenant shall go upon the roof of the
Building, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

        Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use 50% of the total area of
the roof, in location(s) designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by
Tenant, to install a satellite dish or cluster of dishes and ancillary
telecommunications equipment in connection with Tenant's business operations.
Tenant's roof use shall be on the following terms and conditions set forth
herein. Subject to Applicable Laws, Tenant shall have the right to install or
cause to be installed rooftop equipment ("ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT") pursuant to plans
and specifications which shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed on the roof of the Building,
in a location as Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree. There shall be no
additional charge payable by Tenant to Landlord for the use of such area or for
the installation of the Rooftop Equipment. If the Rooftop Equipment is to be
installed on the roof, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that the Rooftop
Equipment is to be installed on the roof. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
complying with (or causing its vendor to comply with) the requirements of such
roof warranty or roof bond in connection with the installation, maintenance,
repair, replacement or removal of the Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall repair any
damage to the roof caused by the installation, maintenance, repair, replacement
or removal of the Rooftop Equipment. Landlord shall

<PAGE>

permit Tenant reasonable access to the designated area as reasonably necessary
to install, maintain and remove the Rooftop Equipment, and Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord and be solely responsible, at Tenant's cost and expense, for
the maintenance and repair of the Rooftop Equipment, and Landlord shall have no
responsibility with respect thereto unless the same was made necessary by the
negligence or willful act of Landlord or Landlord's Agents. Tenant hereby agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless form any mechanics or
materialmen's liens upon the Premises or the Center which result from work
associated with the installation of the Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall obtain
all licenses or approvals required to install and operate the Rooftop Equipment.
The Rooftop Equipment shall remain the property of Tenant and upon expiration of
the Lease, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment and repair the Premises and
any damage to the area upon which the Rooftop Equipment was located to the
original condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall have the right
to request that Tenant relocate the Rooftop Equipment, if necessary, at
Landlord's sole cost and expense to facilitate Landlord's use of the roof.
Tenant covenants that the Rooftop Equipment will be installed, maintained and
removed in accordance with all Applicable Requirements. Tenant shall be
responsible for all damage caused by the installation, maintenance, repair
and/or removal of Tenant's Rooftop Equipment. Tenant's access to the roof to
exercise its rights hereunder shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Tenant exercises such
access rights in a manner that does not void any roof warranty. Tenant's Rooftop
Equipment shall not interfere with the operation of any existing roof top
equipment which has been installed on the portion of the roof used by Landlord.
Landlord shall not install or permit the installation of any rooftop equipment
which will interfere with any Rooftop Equipment for which Tenant has submitted
installation plans to Landlord or which Tenant has previously installed on the
portion of the roof for Tenant's use.

                                    SECTION 1

              INITIAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING AND THE PREMISES

1.1 BASE BUILDING. Landlord shall construct the "Base Building" at Landlord's
sole cost and expense; provided that any modifications to the Base Building
required by the Tenant Improvement Work described below shall be deemed to be
Tenant Improvements. The Base Building shall be constructed in accordance with
the plans for such improvements listed on the plan list attached as Schedule 1
to this Exhibit C (the "Plan List") provided that Landlord, shall not be
responsible to install the 2000 amp, 480/277 volt, 3 phase electrical service
with main switch in the electrical room described in such plans. The electrical
service work for the Building will be performed by Tenant in accordance with the
Approved Tenant Improvement Plans. The Base Building shall include, without
limitation:

        a) Fully enclosed tilt-up concrete building(s) with 5" thick concrete
slab and grade doors as shown on the construction drawings listed in the Plan
List;

        b) Water and gas service stubbed into the Building;

        c) A sanitary sewer gut line as shown on the construction drawings;

1.2 SPECIAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. In addition to the Base Building, Landlord
shall also obtain all necessary permits and approvals for and shall construct
those improvements specifically described in Architect's Bulletin No. 4 dated
February 2, 2001 (the "BULLETIN") and prepared by Ware Malcomb Architects, which
Bulletin has been approved by Landlord and is attached hereto (the "SPECIAL
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS"). Prior to the date hereof Tenant has paid to Landlord
$135,000 representing the estimated cost of the Special Tenant Improvements. In
the event the actual cost of completing the Special Tenant Improvements exceeds
$135,000 the remainder shall be charged against the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. If the actual cost is less than $135,000, the remainder shall be
promptly refunded to Tenant.

1.3 PARCEL 3 IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall construct the site improvements on
Parcel 3 at Landlord's sole cost and expense in accordance with the plans for
such improvements listed on the Plan List. The site improvements shall include,
without limitation, site concrete, asphalt paving, striping, exterior lighting,
site utilities and landscaping.

1.4 LANDLORD'S WORK. "LANDLORD'S WORK" shall mean all work to be constructed by
Landlord described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 above.

1.5 TENANT'S WORK. "TENANT'S WORK" will include designing, providing and
installing all Tenant Improvements (defined hereafter) and providing the
required furnishings, fixtures and equipment for Tenant's use of the Premises.
As used in this Lease, the term "TENANT IMPROVEMENTS" shall mean all
improvements set forth in the Approved Tenant Improvement Plans. Tenant shall
obtain all necessary permits and approvals for and shall construct the "TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS" in accordance with the Approved Tenant Improvement Plans (as
defined in Section 2.4 below). Landlord will disburse the Tenant Improvement
Allowance described in Section 4 below to pay for Tenant Improvement Costs
(defined hereafter). All such costs of completing Tenant's Work which are in
excess of the Tenant Improvement

<PAGE>

Allowance shall be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease and this
Work Letter.

                                    SECTION 2

                            TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS

2.1 ARCHITECT/CONSTRUCTION PLANS. Tenant has retained CAS Architects, Inc. (the
"Architect") to prepare the construction plans for all Tenant Improvements and
Special Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall retain engineering consultants (the
"Engineers") approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings
relating to the Tenant Improvements, including without limitation, all
structural, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, life safety, and sprinkler work in the
Premises which is not part of the Base Building. The final working plans and
drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known
collectively as the "Tenant Improvement Plans". The scope, form and content of
all plans and drawings shall be discussed in reasonable detail at each of the
weekly meetings held pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2.6 below. All Tenant
Improvement Plans shall be in a form suitable for bidding and construction by
qualified contractors, shall meet the requirements of the City of Livermore, and
shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the
dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building
plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and
Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord's review
of the Tenant Improvement Plans as set forth in this Section 2, shall be for its
sole purpose and shall not obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality,
design, code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that
any Tenant Improvement Plans are reviewed by Landlord or its architect,
engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which
may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect,
engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in
connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors
contained in the Tenant Improvement Plans, and Tenant's waiver and indemnity set
forth in Section 16 of this Lease shall specifically apply to the Tenant
Improvement Plans.

2.2 FINAL DESIGN DRAWINGS. Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final
design drawings and specifications for Tenant Improvements in the Premises
(collectively, the "Final Design Drawings") and shall deliver the same to
Landlord for Landlord's approval. The Final Design Drawings shall include a
layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning. Landlord
may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not
included in the Final Design Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five
(5) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Final Design Drawings for the
Premises if the same are unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant
is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Design Drawings to be
revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably
require.

2.3 FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS. After the Final Design Drawings have been approved
by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to
complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and
Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural,
mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is
sufficiently complete to allow subcontractors with a reasonable level of
competence and experience in the industry to bid on the work and to obtain all
permits required for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "PERMITS")
and shall submit the same (collectively, the "FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS") to
Landlord for Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Tenant shall supply Landlord with three (3) copies signed
by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant within
five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Final Working Drawings
for the Premises if the same are unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If
Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Working Drawings to
be revised in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in
connection therewith.

2.4 APPROVED TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS. The Final Working Drawings shall be
approved by Landlord (the "Approved Tenant Improvement Plans") prior to the
commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements by Tenant. In order to
expedite the permitting process, however, prior to Landlord's

<PAGE>

approval pursuant to Section 2.3 above, Tenant may submit the Final Working
Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all Permits necessary to
allow Landlord's contractor to commence and fully complete the construction of
the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord does not waive the right to approve the Final Working Drawings and by
electing to submit the Final Working Drawings for permit prior to Landlord's
approval, Tenant is assuming the risk that Landlord may require changes in such
drawings after the same have been submitted for permits. Tenant hereby agrees
that neither Landlord nor Landlord's consultants shall be responsible for
obtaining any of the Permits or a certificate of occupancy for the Premises and
that obtaining the same shall be Tenant's responsibility; provided, however,
that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and
performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to
obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. No changes, modifications or
alterations in the Approved Tenant Improvement Plans may be made without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided that if a proposed change would directly or
indirectly delay the "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" of Landlord's Work as that term is
defined in Article 8 of the Lease, Landlord may proceed to establish a Tenant
Delay pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

                                    SECTION 3

                       CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

3.1     TENANT'S SELECTION OF CONTRACTORS.

        3.1.1 TENANT'S CONTRACTOR. A general contractor shall be retained by
Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements. Such general contractor ("TENANT'S
CONTRACTOR") shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

        3.1.2 TENANT'S AGENTS. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and
suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and
suppliers, and Tenant's Contractor to be known collectively as "TENANT'S
AGENTS") must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord does not approve any of Tenant's
proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers, Tenant shall submit
other proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers for Landlord's
written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall retain
subcontractors designated or reasonably approved by Landlord in connection with
any structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or heating, air-conditioning or
ventilation work to be performed in the Premises. Further Landlord's approval
shall not be required for any of Tenant's Agents performing work or providing
materials costing less than $10,000.

3.2     CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT'S AGENTS.

        3.2.1 TENANT'S CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT; COST BUDGET. Prior to Tenant's
execution of the construction contract and general conditions with Tenant's
Contractor ("TENANT'S CONSTRUCTION Contract"), Tenant shall submit Tenant's
Construction Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to the commencement of the construction
of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the
Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by
trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in
connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be
performed by or at the direction of Tenant or Tenant's Contractor, which costs
form a basis for the amount of Tenant's Construction Contract (the "Final
Costs"). If the costs of the Tenant Improvements exceed the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, Tenant shall also provide Landlord with its computation of percentage
that the Tenant Improvement Allowance bears to the total costs of the Tenant
Improvements (the "ALLOWANCE PERCENTAGE")

        3.2.2 TENANT'S AGENTS.

               A. Landlord's General Terms for Tenant's Agents and Tenant
Improvement Work. Tenant's and Tenant's Agent's construction of the Tenant
Improvements shall comply with the following:

<PAGE>

(i) the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the Approved
Tenant Improvement Plans; (ii) Tenant's Agents shall submit schedules of all
work relating to the Tenant Improvements to Tenant's Contractor and Tenant's
Contractor shall, within five (5) business days of receipt thereof, inform
Tenant's Agents of any changes which are necessary thereto, and Tenant's Agents
shall adhere to such corrected schedule; and (iii) Tenant shall abide by all
rules made by Landlord with respect to storage of materials, coordination of
work with the contractors of other tenants and Landlord, and any other matter in
connection with this Work Letter, including, without limitation, the
construction of the Tenant Improvements.

               B. Indemnity. Tenant's indemnity of Landlord as set forth in
Section 16.1 of this Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs,
losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or
omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed
by any of them, or in connection with Tenant's non-payment of any amount arising
out of the Tenant Improvements and/or Tenant's disapproval of all or any portion
of any request for payment. Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in Section
16.1 of this Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses,
damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord's performance
of any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete
the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit
or certificate of occupancy for the Premises.

               C. Requirements of Tenant's Agents. Each of Tenant's Agents shall
guarantee to Tenant and for the benefit of Landlord that the portion of the
Tenant Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects
in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the
date of completion thereof. Each of Tenant's Agents shall be responsible for the
replacement or repair, without additional charge, of all work done or furnished
in accordance with its contract that shall become defective within one (1) year
after the later to occur of (i) completion of the work performed by such
contractor or subcontractors and (ii) the Lease Commencement Date. The
correction of such work shall include, without additional charge, all additional
expenses and damages incurred in connection with such removal or replacement of
all or any part of the Tenant Improvements, and/or the Building and/or common
areas that may be damaged or disturbed thereby. All such warranties or
guarantees as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant
Improvements shall be contained in the Contract or subcontract and shall be
written such that such guarantees or warranties shall inure to the benefit of
both Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, and can be
directly enforced by either. Tenant covenants to give to Landlord any assignment
or other assurances which may be necessary to effect such right of direct
enforcement.

               D. Insurance Requirements.

                      1. General Coverages. All of Tenant's Agents shall carry
worker's compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and
shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with
limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as
set forth in Article 14 of this Lease.

                      2. Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry "Builder's All
Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of
the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it
being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by
Landlord pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease upon completion thereof. Tenant's
policy of Builder's All Risk insurance shall be in amounts and shall include
such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord
including, but not limited to, the requirement that all of Tenant's Agents shall
carry Excess Liability and Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance,
each in amounts not less than $1,000,000 per incident, $2,000,000 in aggregate,
and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set
forth in Article 14 of this Lease.

                      3. General Terms. Certificates for all insurance carried
pursuant to this Section 3.2.2(D) shall be delivered to Landlord before the
commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and before the equipment
of Tenant's Contractor is moved onto the site. All such policies of insurance
must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord
thirty (30)

<PAGE>

days' prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or
any reduction in the amounts of such insurance. In the event that the Tenant
Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction
thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. Tenant's Agents shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage
in force until the Tenant Improvements are fully completed and accepted by
Landlord, except for any Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance
required by Landlord, which is to be maintained for ten (10) years following
completion of the work and acceptance by Landlord and Tenant. All policies
carried under this Section 3.2.2(D) shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their
interests may appear, as well as Tenant's Contractor and Tenant's Agents. All
insurance, except Workers' Compensation, maintained by Tenant's Agents shall
preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.
Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the
Landlord and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and
noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder. The requirements for the
foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification
of Landlord by Tenant under Section 3.2.2(B) of this Work Letter.

        3.2.3 GOVERNMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The Tenant Improvements shall comply in
all respects with the following: (i) all building codes and other state,
federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as
each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official,
agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance
Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National
Electrical Code; and (iii) building material manufacturer's specifications.

        3.2.4 MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Center
free and clear of mechanics' liens arising out of its construction of Tenant's
Work as provided in Article 29. All provisions of Article 29 shall apply to
Tenant's Work as if fully set forth into this Work Letter.

        3.2.5 INSPECTION BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall have the right to inspect
the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord's failure
to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any
of Landlord's rights hereunder nor shall Landlord's inspection of the Tenant
Improvements constitute Landlord's approval of the same. Should Landlord
reasonably disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall
notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items
disapproved. Any material defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by
Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense
to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a
defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any
portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might
adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or
exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant's use of such other
tenant's leased premises, Landlord after giving Tenant at least three (3)
business days advance written notice and an opportunity to cure or otherwise
demonstrate compliance, may take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at
Tenant's expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord's part, to
correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation,
causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant
Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected
to Landlord's satisfaction.

        3.2.6 MEETINGS. Commencing upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall hold weekly meetings at a reasonable time, with the Architect and the
Tenant's Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of the Tenant
Improvement Plans and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord
and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to
attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord's request, certain of Tenant's
Agents shall attend such meetings. Such meetings shall include a detailed review
of the plans, drawings and specifications prepared to date and all participants
in the meeting shall make a good faith effort to raise any issues or concerns
they may have regarding the scope, form or content of any plan submitted.

3.3 NOTICE OF COMPLETION; COPY OF RECORD SET OF PLANS. Within ten (10) days
after completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause
a Notice of Completion with respect to the Tenant Improvements to be recorded in
the office of the Recorder of the County of Alameda in accordance

<PAGE>

with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor
statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation. If
Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may execute and file the same on behalf of
Tenant as Tenant's agent for such purpose, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. At
the conclusion of construction, (i) Tenant shall cause the Architect and
Tenant's Contractor (A) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to
reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of
construction, (B) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the
"record-set" of mylar as-built drawings are true and correct, which
certification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and (C)
to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings
within ninety (90) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
Premises, and (ii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties,
guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements,
equipment, and systems in the Premises.

                                    SECTION 4

                TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE; CONSTRUCTION COSTS

4.1 TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant
improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") in the amount of
$25.00 per square foot of the Premises GLA for the costs relating to the initial
design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. In no event shall Landlord
be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter in a total
amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

4.2 DISBURSEMENT OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE.

        4.2.1 TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE ITEMS. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by
Landlord only for the following items and costs (collectively the "Tenant
Improvement Allowance Items"):

               A. Payment of the fees of the Architect and the Engineers

               B. The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to
construction of the Tenant Improvements;

               C. The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements,
including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, utility usage,
trash removal costs, and contractors' fees and general conditions;

               D. The cost of any changes in the Base Building when such changes
are required by the Tenant Improvement Plans, such cost to include all direct
architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith;

               E. The cost of any changes to the Tenant Improvement Plans or
Tenant Improvements required by Code; and

               F. A Landlord coordination fee for Building 3 of Twenty Two
Thousand ($22,000).

        4.2.2 DISBURSEMENT OF TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. During the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall make monthly
disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for Tenant Improvement
Allowance Items:

               A. Monthly Disbursements. No more frequently than monthly, during
the construction of the Tenant Improvements (or such other date as Landlord may
designate), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of
Tenant's Contractor, approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord,
showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Tenant

<PAGE>

Improvements in the Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and
the portion not completed; (ii) invoices from all of Tenant's Agents, for labor
rendered and materials delivered to the Premises; (iii) executed mechanic's lien
releases from all of Tenant's Agents which shall comply with the appropriate
provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code
Section 3262(d); and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by
Landlord. Tenant's request for payment shall be deemed Tenant's approval of the
work furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment
request. After receipt of the foregoing and provided that Landlord does not
dispute any request for payment based on non-compliance of any work with the
Approved Tenant Improvement Plans, or due to any substandard work, or for any
other reason, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant in an amount equal to the
lesser of: (a) the Allowance Percentage of the Tenant Improvement costs for
which payment is so requested less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate
amount of such retentions to be known as the "Final Retention"), or (b) the
balance of the undisbursed Tenant Improvement Allowance (excluding the Final
Retention). Landlord's payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord's
approval or acceptance of the work furnished or materials supplied as set forth
in Tenant's payment request.

               B. Final Retention. Subject to the provisions of this Work
Letter, a check for the Final Retention shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant
within fifteen (15) days after all the following conditions have been satisfied:
(i) Tenant delivers to Landlord a properly executed unconditional waiver and
lien release from Tenant's Contractor in compliance with applicable sections of
the California Civil Code, (ii) Landlord has determined that no substandard work
exists, (iii) Architect delivers to Landlord a certificate, in a form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Tenant
Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed, (iv) Tenant has
recorded a Notice of Completion with respect to Tenant's Work and thirty (30)
days has expired from the date of such recording with no liens having been filed
during such thirty day period, and (v) there is no existing Event of Default by
Tenant under the Lease nor has Landlord notified Tenant of any default which
would become an Event of Default under the Lease with the passage of time if not
cured.

               C. Other Terms. Landlord shall only be obligated to make
disbursements from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are
incurred by Tenant for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items. No disbursements
shall be made to pay for Special Improvements unless the Tenant Improvement
Allowance exceeds the costs of all other Tenant Improvements. All costs of
completing Tenant's Work in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be
at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

               D. Other Landlord Costs. Tenant shall also be responsible for the
payment of (i) the fees incurred by Landlord for Landlord's consultants in
connection with design drawing review and routine construction support related
to the Tenant Improvements, (ii) the cost of documents and materials supplied by
Landlord and Landlord's consultants, and (iii) all other verifiable, directly
related costs, such as blueprint costs and delivery, fax and copy charges
incurred by Landlord and Landlord's consultants related to the design/routine
construction support of the Tenant Improvements. When the Tenant Improvement
Plans have been approved by Landlord, Landlord shall submit to Tenant Landlord's
estimate of the foregoing costs. The Tenant Improvement Allowance will not be
used to pay the foregoing costs. Tenant shall pay such costs to Landlord from
time to time within ten (10) days after receipt from Landlord of statements of
such expenses.

                                    SECTION 5

                               CONSTRUCTION DELAYS

5.1 TENANT DELAYS. As used in this Lease, the term "TENANT DELAY" shall mean the
period of an actual delay or delays in the Substantial Completion of Landlord's
Work or in the occurrence of any of the other conditions precedent to the
Delivery Date, as set forth in Article 8 of the Lease, to the extent resulting
from:

        a. Tenant's failure to approve any matter requiring Tenant's approval
within the time period specifically provided in this Work Letter for such
approval;

<PAGE>

        b. A breach by Tenant of the terms of this Work Letter or the Lease;

        c. Changes to the Base Building work described in the Plan List required
by the Approved Tenant Improvement Drawings or requested in writing by Tenant;
or

        d. Any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees,

(each a "TENANT DELAY"). Landlord shall provide prompt (within 48 hours of
becoming aware of any such delay) written notice to Tenant ("DELAY NOTICE")
specifying the action or inaction which Landlord contends constitutes a Tenant
Delay hereunder. The period of delay, however, shall commence to run on the date
of the action or inaction and not on the date of the Delay Notice. To the extent
an action or inaction by Tenant specified in any Delay Notice constitutes a
Tenant Delay as defined above and actually results in a delay in the Substantial
Completion of the Premises (after taking into account any delays resulting from
Landlord Delays and/or Force Majeure Delays described below), a Tenant Delay
shall be deemed to have been established.

5.2 TENANT'S LEASE DEFAULT. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Lease: (i) if an Event of Default as described in Article 25
of the Lease has occurred; or (ii) a default by Tenant under this Work Letter
has occurred at any time on or before the substantial completion of Landlord's
Work and Tenant fails to remedy the default within such 48 hours after written
notice from Landlord, then Landlord may thereafter: (x) in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may cause Contractor to cease the
construction of the Premises (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any
Tenant Delay resulting from such work stoppage as set forth in Section 4.1 above
of this Work Letter), and (y) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms
of this Work Letter shall be deferred until such time as such default is cured
pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

5.3 LANDLORD DELAY. As used herein, "LANDLORD DELAY" shall mean: (i) any actual
delay in the completion of the work Tenant is required to perform hereunder
which results from any failure of Landlord to act or provide approvals within
five (5) business days or (ii) the actual delay in the Substantial Completion of
Landlord's Work due to any failure of Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors to perform the Base Building work or other work required to be
provided by Landlord hereunder in compliance with the terms hereof and in
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations or any other acts or
omissions of Landlord, or its agents, or employees. Tenant shall provide prompt
(within 48 hours of becoming aware of any such delay) written notice to Landlord
("Delay Notice") specifying the action or inaction which Tenant contends
constitutes a Landlord Delay hereunder. The period of delay, however, shall
commence to run on the date of the action or inaction and not on the date of the
Delay Notice.

5.4 FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS. The term "FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS" shall mean delays
caused by any event of force majeure described in Section 32.8 of the Lease.

5.5 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. The date set forth in Section 8.4 of the Lease for
Landlord's Substantial Completion of the Base Building work shall be extended
for the period of any Tenant Delays and Force Majeure Delays.

                                    SECTION 6

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 TENANT'S REPRESENTATIVE. Tenant has designated Greg Gehlen and Dennis Rhett
as its sole representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Work
Letter, each of whom, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full
authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this
Work Letter.

<PAGE>

6.2 LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIVE. Landlord has designated William Drummond as its
sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter,
who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and
responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Work Letter.

6.3 TIME OF THE ESSENCE IN THIS WORK LETTER. Unless otherwise indicated, all
references herein to a "number of days" shall mean and refer to calendar days.
In all instances where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no
written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the
stated time period, at Landlord's sole option, at the end of such period the
item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Tenant and the next
succeeding time period shall commence.

                                   EXHIBIT F-1

       MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE USE AND/OR STORAGE AREAS

All areas where hazardous substances are used and/or stored will be designed,
constructed, and operated to meet the minimum standards specified below.

Legal and Other Applicable Standards

All structures and equipment where hazardous substances are used and/or stored
will, at a minimum, meet the standards specified in applicable federal, state,
and local laws, regulations, codes, or standards.

Secondary Containment

Secondary containment must be provided for all liquid hazardous substances used
and/or stored in indoor and outdoor areas. Containment capacity must be equal to
or exceed the volume of the largest container or 10 percent of the total
aggregate volume of all containers within the containment structure. Containment
structures must be designed to ensure that contents of containers will not be
released if containers tip over. The surfaces of the containment structures must
be compatible with the hazardous substances used and/or stored, such that any
hazardous substances released within the containment structure will not
deteriorate or penetrate the containment structure. A building or interior room
will not be considered a secondary containment structure unless the entire
building or room meets the above specifications and entryways are designed to
contain releases.

Container Storage

No hazardous substance container will be placed directly on top of any other
container (i.e., no stacking), unless it can be demonstrated that such
configuration could not result in releases of liquid hazardous substances.
Containers will be stored in a manner such that exterior surfaces are readily
accessible for visible inspection at all times. If hazardous substances are
stored in drums or other large containers, any rows of such containers will be
no more than two containers wide, with minimum aisle space between the rows of
24 inches.

Outdoor Areas

All solid hazardous substances stored in outdoor areas will be provided with
secondary containment. All outdoor areas where hazardous substances are used
and/or stored will be designed to prevent run-off or discharge of storm water
that has been in contact with any hazardous substances or equipment.

Ancillary Equipment

All ancillary equipment (i.e., piping, pumps, valves, fittings, etc.) will be
provided with secondary containment and will be constructed of materials
compatible with the hazardous substances that contact the equipment.

Segregation of Incompatible Hazardous Substances

All incompatible hazardous substances will be segregated by secondary
containment structures such that releases of incompatible hazardous substances
cannot intermingle.

Ventilation

All areas where hazardous substance are used and/or stored will be adequately
ventilated to prevent accumulation of flammable or explosive vapors. Ventilation
systems will be provided with appropriate air pollution control equipment in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

assessments assessed by the County Assessor against that Owner's Parcel and
personal property. Until such time as real property taxes have been segregated

dividing the initial Parcel sales price or, in the case of unsold Parcels, the
price the Parcel is then being offered for sale by Declarant ("Offered Price"),
by the total initial sales prices and Offered Prices of all Parcels. If an Owner
fails to pay that Owner's proportionate share in accordance with the preceding

individually applied to each Shared Landscape Area and Shared Private Drive
which serves a group of Parcels, as indicated on the Maintenance Plat. The term
"Obligated Owner," as used in this Section 5.6, shall refer to Parcels
designated on the Maintenance Plat as having the obligation to maintain a
particular Shared Landscape Area or Shared Private Drive.

                5.6.1 Maintenance Standards: The term "Maintenance," as used in
this Section 5.6 shall in the case of Shared Landscape Area, refer to all work
required to maintain the landscaping within the Shared Landscape Area to the
standards provided in Section 5.5, above. The term "Maintenance," as used in
this Section 5.6 shall in the case of Shared Private Drive, refer to all work
required to maintain, repair and, when necessary, replace and reconstruct the
paved surface located on the Shared Private Drive and all storm drainage
Improvements within the Shared Private Drive which serve more than one (1)
Parcel. At all times the Shared Private Drives shall be maintained in a good,
safe and usable condition, in good repair, and in compliance with all applicable
state, county and local ordinances.

                5.6.2 When Maintenance Required: Maintenance shall be required
when determined by a majority of the Obligated Owners. The preceding sentence
shall not extend to any Maintenance required as a result of the willful or
negligent act of an Owner, or its family, contract purchasers, lessees, or
tenants, or their licensees, guests, invitees or contractors and/or workmen
providing services for individual Owners. Rather, any Maintenance required as a
result of such negligence or willful action shall be the responsibility of the
Owner to whom the

                                       10
<PAGE>

willful or negligent act is attributed. In the event that the Obligated Owners

pertaining to the use or Maintenance of the Shared Landscape Area or Shared
Private Drive, the dispute shall be submitted to the Board for arbitration and
the decision of the Board shall be final.

                5.6.3 Allocation of Costs: The costs of performing the
Maintenance shall be shared by the Obligated Owners in accordance with the
percentages set forth in the Maintenance Plat.

                5.6.4 Indemnity and Right of Contribution: Each Obligated Owner
shall be liable for an equal share of all costs, damages, attorneys' fees,
expenses and liabilities arising from injury to person or property occurring on
the Shared Private Drive for which (i) any Owner is held liable by virtue of the
fact that it is the Owner of the Private Drive or the fact that the Obligated
Owners failed to adequately perform Maintenance, or (ii) all Obligated Owners
are held liable by virtue of their ownership of an easement or the fact that the
Obligated Owners failed to adequately perform Maintenance. Any Obligated Owner
who pays greater than their share of such costs, damages, attorneys' fees,
expenses and liabilities shall have a right of contribution against any
Obligated Owner who has paid less than their share of such costs, damages,
attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities.

        5.7 RIGHT OF MAINTENANCE AND ENTRY BY ASSOCIATION: If an Owner fails to
perform maintenance and/or repair which that Owner is obligated to perform
pursuant to this Declaration, and if the Association determines, after Notice
and Hearing given pursuant to the provisions of the Bylaws, that such
maintenance and/or repair is necessary to preserve the attractiveness, quality,
nature and/or value of the Project, the Association may cause such maintenance
and/or repair to be performed. The costs of such maintenance and/or repair shall
be charged to the Owner of the Parcel as a Reimbursement Assessment. In order to
effectuate the provisions of this Declaration, the Association may enter any
Parcel whenever entry is necessary in connection with the performance of any
maintenance or construction which the Association is authorized to undertake.
Entry within a Parcel shall be made with as little inconvenience to an Owner as
practicable and only after reasonable advance written notice of not less than
forty-eight (48) hours, except in emergency situations.

        5.8 DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION -- ASSOCIATION: The term "restore" shall mean
repairing, rebuilding or reconstructing a damaged Improvement to substantially
the same condition and appearance in which it existed prior to fire or other
casualty damage. If fire or other casualty damage extends to any Improvement
which is insured under an insurance policy held by the Association, the
Association shall proceed with the filing and adjustment of all claims arising
under the existing insurance policies. The insurance proceeds shall be paid to
and held by the Association.

                5.8.1 Bids: Whenever restoration is to be performed pursuant to
this Section, the Board shall obtain such bids from responsible licensed
contractors to restore the damaged Improvement as the Board deems reasonable;
and the Board, on behalf of the Association, shall contract with the contractor
whose bid the Board deems to be the most reasonable.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                5.8.2 Proceeds: The costs of restoration of the damaged
Improvement shall be funded pursuant to the provisions and in the priority
established by this Section 5.8.2. A lower priority procedure shall be utilized
only if the aggregate amount of funds then available pursuant to the procedures
of higher priority are insufficient to restore the damaged Improvement. The
following funds and procedures shall be utilized:

        1. The first priority shall be any insurance proceeds paid to the
Association under existing insurance policies.

        2. The second priority shall be all Reserve Account funds designated for
the repair or replacement of the capital Improvement(s) which has been damaged.

        3. The third priority shall be funds raised by a Special Assessment
against all Owners levied by the Board.

        5.9 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION: If all or any portion of a Building or
Parcel, other than Common Area, is damaged by fire or other casualty, the Owner
of the Improvement shall either (i) restore the damaged Improvements or (ii)
remove all damaged Improvements, including foundations, and leave the Parcel in
a clean and safe condition. Any restoration under clause (i) preceding must be
performed so that the Improvements are in substantially the same condition in
which they existed prior to the damage, unless the Owner complies with the
provisions of Article XI. Unless extended by the Board, the Owner must commence
such work within one hundred eighty (180) days after the damage occurs and must
complete the work within one (1) year thereafter.

        5.10 CONDEMNATION OF COMMON AREA: If all or any portion of the Common
Area is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute, by right of
eminent domain or by purchase in lieu of eminent domain, the entire award shall
be deposited into the Current Operation Account until distributed. The
Association shall distribute such funds equally to all Owners and shall
represent the interests of all Owners.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                              FUNDS AND ASSESSMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        6.1 COVENANTS TO PAY: Declarant and each Owner covenant and agree to pay
to the Association the assessments and any Additional Charges levied pursuant to
this Article VI.

                6.1.1 Liability for Payment: The obligation to pay assessments
shall run with the land so that each successive record Owner of a Parcel shall
in turn be liable to pay all such assessments. No Owner may waive or otherwise
escape personal liability for assessments or release the Owner's Parcel from the
liens and charges hereof by non-use of the Common Area, abandonment of the
Parcel or any other attempt to renounce rights in the Common Area or the
facilities or services within the Project. Each assessment shall constitute a
separate assessment and shall also be a separate, distinct and personal
obligation of the Owner of the Parcel at the time when the assessment was levied
and shall bind the Owner's heirs, devisees, personal representatives and
assigns. Any assessment not paid when due is delinquent. The personal obligation
of an Owner for delinquent assessments shall not pass to a successive Owner
unless

                                       12
<PAGE>

the personal obligation is expressly assumed by the successive Owner. No such
assumption of personal liability by a successor Owner (including a contract
purchaser under an installment land contract) shall relieve any Owner from
personal liability for delinquent assessments. After an Owner transfers fee
title of record to a Parcel, the Owner shall not be liable for any charge
thereafter levied against that Parcel.

                6.1.2 Funds Held in Trust: The assessments collected by the
Association shall be held by the Association for and on behalf of each Owner and
shall be used solely for the operation, care and maintenance of the Project as
provided in this Declaration.

                6.1.3 Offsets: No offsets against any assessment shall be
permitted for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim that the
Association is not properly discharging its duties.

        6.2 REGULAR ASSESSMENTS:

                6.2.1 Payment of Regular Assessments: Regular Assessments for
each fiscal year shall be established when the Board approves the Budget for
that fiscal year. Regular Assessments shall be levied on a fiscal year basis;
however, each Owner shall be entitled to pay the Regular Assessment in twelve
(12) equal monthly installments, one installment payable on the first day of
each calendar month during the fiscal year, as long as the Owner is not
delinquent in the payment of any monthly installment. If an Owner fails to pay
any monthly installment by the sixtieth (60th) day after the date the
installment was due, the Board may terminate that Owner's right to pay the
Regular Assessment in monthly installments and declare the then unpaid balance
of the Regular Assessment for that year immediately due and payable. Regular
Assessments shall commence for all Parcels on the first day of the first month
following the month in which the first Parcel is conveyed to an Owner and may
commence prior to that date at the option of Declarant.

                6.2.2 Allocation of Regular Assessments: The total amount of the
Association's anticipated revenue attributable to Regular Assessments as
reflected in the Budget for that fiscal year shall be allocated equally among
the Parcels.

                6.2.3 Non-Waiver of Assessments: If before the expiration of any
fiscal year the Association fails to fix Regular Assessments for the next fiscal
year, the Regular Assessment established for the preceding year shall continue
until a new Regular Assessment is fixed.

        6.3 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Special Assessments may be levied in addition
to Regular Assessments for (i) constructing capital Improvements, (ii)
correcting an inadequacy in the Current Operation Account, (iii) defraying, in
whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, unexpected
repair or replacement of Improvements in the Common Area, or (iv) paying for
such other matters as the Board may deem appropriate for the Project. Special
Assessments shall be levied in the same manner as Regular Assessments.

        6.4 REIMBURSEMENT ASSESSMENTS: The Association shall levy a
Reimbursement Assessment against an Owner to (a) reimburse the Association for
the costs of repairing damage caused by that Owner or that Owner's Invitee or
(b) if a failure to comply with the Project Documents has resulted in (i) an
expenditure of monies, including attorneys' fees, by

                                       13
<PAGE>

the Association to bring the Owner or the Owner's Parcel or Improvements into
compliance or (ii) the imposition of a fine or penalty. A Reimbursement
Assessment shall be due and payable to the Association when levied. A
Reimbursement Assessment shall not be levied by the Association until Notice and
Hearing has been given in accordance with the Bylaws.

        6.5 ACCOUNTS:

                6.5.1 Types of Accounts: Assessments collected by the
Association shall be deposited into at least two (2) separate accounts with a
responsible financial institution, which accounts shall be clearly designated as
(i) the Current Operation Account and (ii) the Reserve Account. The Board shall
deposit those portions of the assessments collected for current maintenance and
operation into the Current Operation Account and shall deposit those portions of
the assessments collected as reserves for replacement and deferred maintenance
of major components which the Association is obligated to repair, restore,
replace or maintain into the Reserve Account.

                6.5.2 Reserve Account: The Association shall not expend funds

        6.7 ENFORCEMENT OF ASSESSMENTS:

                6.7.1 Procedures: In addition to all other remedies provided by
law, the Association, or its authorized representative, may enforce the
obligations of the Owners to pay each assessment provided for in this
Declaration in any manner provided by law or by either or both of the following
procedures:

                        (a) By Suit: The Association may commence and maintain a
suit at law against any Owner personally obligated to pay a delinquent
assessment. The suit shall be maintained in the name of the Association. Any
judgment rendered in any action shall include the amount of the delinquency, and
such additional costs, fees, charges and expenditures ("Additional Charges") and
any other amounts as the court may award. A proceeding to recover a judgment for
unpaid assessments may be maintained without the necessity of foreclosing or
waiving the lien established herein.

                        (b) By Lien: The Association or a trustee nominated by
the Association may commence and maintain proceedings to establish and/or
foreclose assessment liens. No action shall be brought to foreclose a lien until
the lien is created by recording a Notice of Delinquent Assessment ("Notice").
Prior to recording a Notice, the Association shall: (i) notify the affected
Owner in writing by certified mail of the fee and penalty procedures of the
Association; (ii) provide an itemized statement of the charges owed by the
Owner, including items on the statement which indicate the principal owed, any
late charges, the method of calculation, and attorneys' fees; and (iii) describe
the collection practices used by the Association, including the right of the
Association to recover reasonable costs of collection. The Notice must be
authorized by the Board, signed by an authorized agent and recorded in the
Official Records of the County. The Notice shall state the amount of the
delinquent assessment(s), the Additional Charges incurred to date, a legal
description of the Parcel, the name(s) of the record Owner(s) thereof and the
name and address of the trustee, if any, authorized by the Association to
enforce the lien by sale and shall be signed by the person authorized to do so
by the Board, or if no one is specifically designated, by the President or Chief
Financial Officer. No later than ten (10) days after recordation of the Notice,
copies of the Notice shall be mailed to all record owners of the Parcel in the
manner set forth in Section 2924b of the California Civil Code. After the
expiration of thirty (30) days following the recording of a Notice, the lien may
be foreclosed as provided in Section 1367 of the Civil Code of the State of
California.

                6.7.2 Additional Charges: In addition to any other amounts due
or any other relief or remedy obtained against an Owner who is delinquent in the
payment of any assessments, each Owner agrees to pay such Additional Charges as
the Association may incur or levy in collecting the monies due and delinquent
from that Owner. All Additional Charges shall be included in any judgment in any
suit or action brought to enforce collection of delinquent assessments or may be
levied against a Parcel as a Reimbursement Assessment. Additional Charges shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:

                        (a) Attorneys' Fees: Reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs incurred in the event an attorney(s) is employed to collect any assessment
or sum due, whether by suit or otherwise;

                                       15
<PAGE>

                        (b) Late Charges: A late charge in an amount to be fixed
by the Board in accordance with the then current laws of the State of California
to compensate the Association for additional collection costs incurred in the
event any assessment or other sum is not paid when due or within any "grace"
period established by law;

                        (c) Costs of Suit: Costs of suit and court costs
incurred as are allowed by the court;

                        (d) Interest: Interest on the delinquent assessment and
Additional Charges at a rate fixed by the Board in accordance with the then
current laws of the State of California; and

                        (e) Other: Any such other additional costs that the
Association may incur in the process of collecting delinquent assessments or
sums.

                6.7.3 Satisfaction of Lien: All amounts paid by an Owner toward
a delinquent assessment shall be credited first to reduce the principal amount
of the debt. Upon payment or other satisfaction of a delinquent assessment for
which a Notice was recorded, the Association shall record a certificate stating
the satisfaction and release of the assessment lien.

                6.7.4 Lien Eliminated By Foreclosure: If the Association has
recorded a Notice of Delinquent Assessment and the lien is eliminated as a
result of a foreclosure of a Mortgage or a transfer pursuant to the remedies
provided in the Mortgage, the new Owner of the Parcel shall pay to the
Association a pro-rata share of the Regular Assessment for each month remaining
in the Association's fiscal year after the date of the foreclosure or transfer
pursuant to the remedies provided in the Mortgage.

        6.8 SUBORDINATION OF LIEN: Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, the liens for assessments created pursuant to this Declaration shall
be subject and subordinate to and shall not affect the rights of the holder of a
First Mortgage made in good faith and for value. Upon the foreclosure of any
First Mortgage on a Parcel, any lien for assessments which became due prior to
such foreclosure shall be extinguished; provided, however, that after such
foreclosure there shall be a lien on the interest of the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale to secure all assessments, whether Regular or Special, charged
to such Parcel after the date of such foreclosure sale, which lien shall have
the same effect and shall be enforced in the same manner as provided herein. For
purposes of this Section, a Mortgage may be given in good faith or for value
even though the Mortgagee has constructive or actual knowledge of the assessment
lien provisions of this Declaration.

        7.2 MEMBERSHIP: Each Owner (including Declarant for so long as Declarant
is an Owner), by virtue of being an Owner, shall be a Member of the Association.
No other person shall be accepted as a Member. Association membership is
appurtenant to and may not be separated from the ownership of a Parcel.
Membership shall terminate upon termination of Parcel ownership. Ownership of a
Parcel shall be the sole qualification for Association membership. Membership
shall not be transferred, pledged or alienated in any way except upon transfer
of title to the Owner's Parcel (and then only to the transferee of title to such
Parcel). Any attempt to make a prohibited transfer is void. Membership shall not
be related to the use or non-use of the Common Area and may not be renounced.
The rights, duties, privileges and obligations of all Members shall be as
provided in the Project Documents.

        7.3 VOTING: Any action required by law or by the Project Documents to be
approved by the Owners, the Members or each class of Members shall be approved,
if at all, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws.

        7.4 RULES: The Board may propose, adopt, amend and repeal Rules
appropriate for the management of the Project, which are consistent with the

copy of the Rules shall be furnished to each Owner. Owners shall be responsible
for distributing the Rules to their tenants.

        7.5 TRANSFERS OF COMMON AREA: Subject to any applicable provision in the
Bylaws, the Board shall have the power and right in the name of the Association
and all of the Owners as their attorneys-in-fact to grant, convey, dedicate,
mortgage, or otherwise transfer to any Owner or other person or entity, fee
title, easements, exclusive use easements, security rights or other rights or
licenses in, on, over or under the Common Area that, in the sole discretion of
the Board, are in the best interests of the Association and its Members.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Board
take any action authorized hereunder that would permanently and unreasonably
interfere with the use, occupancy and enjoyment by any Owner of that Owner's
Parcel without the prior written consent of that Owner.

        7.6 INSURANCE: The Board shall make every reasonable effort to obtain
and maintain the insurance policies as provided in this Section. If the Board is
unable to purchase a policy or if the Board believes that the cost of the policy
is unreasonable, the Board shall call a special meeting of Members to determine
what action to take. The Board shall comply with any resolution concerning
insurance coverage adopted at such a meeting.

                7.6.1 General Provisions and Limitations: All insurance policies
shall be subject to and, where applicable, shall contain the following
provisions and limitations:

<PAGE>

                        (b) Named Insured: Unless otherwise provided in this
Section, the named insured shall be the Association or its authorized
representative, as a trustee for the Owners. However, all policies shall be for
the benefit of Owners and their Mortgagees, as their interests may appear.

                        (c) Authority to Negotiate: Exclusive authority to
adjust losses under policies obtained by the Association shall be vested in the
Board; provided, however, that no Mortgagee having an interest in such losses
may be prohibited from participating in any settlement negotiations related
thereto.

                        (d) Contribution: In no event shall the insurance
coverage obtained and maintained by the Association be brought into contribution
with insurance purchased by Owners or their Mortgagees.

                        (e) General Provisions: To the extent possible, the
Board shall make every reasonable effort to secure insurance policies providing
for the following:

                                (i) A waiver of subrogation by the insurer as to
any claims against the Board, the manager, the Owners and their respective
servants, agents and guests;

                                (ii) That the policy will be primary, even if an
Owner has other insurance which covers the same loss;

                                (iii) That no policy may be cancelled or
substantially modified without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to
the Association and to each First Mortgagee listed as a scheduled holder;

                                (iv) An agreed amount endorsement, if the policy
contains a coinsurance clause;

                                (v) A guaranteed replacement cost or replacement
cost endorsement; and

                                (vi) An inflation guard endorsement.

                        (f) Term: The period of each policy shall not exceed
three (3) years. Any policy for a term greater than one (1) year must permit
short rate cancellation by the insureds.

                        (g) Deductible: The policy may contain a reasonable
deductible and the amount of the deductible shall be added to the face amount of
the policy in determining whether the insurance equals replacement cost.

                7.6.2 Types of Coverage: Unless the Association determines
otherwise pursuant to Section 7.6, the Board shall obtain at least the following
insurance policies in the amounts specified:

                                       18
<PAGE>

                        (a) Property Insurance: A Special Form or "All-Risk"
policy of property insurance for all insurable Common Area Improvements,
including fixtures and building service equipment, against loss or damage by
fire or other casualty, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost (without
respect to depreciation) of the Common Area, and exclusive of land, foundations,
excavation and other items normally excluded from coverage. A replacement cost
endorsement shall be part of the policy.

                        (b) Liability Insurance: A combined single limit policy
of liability insurance in an amount not less than Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000.00) covering the Common Area and all damage or injury caused by the
negligence of the Association, the Board or any of its agents or the Owners
against any liability to the public or to any Owner incident to the use of or
resulting from any accident or intentional or unintentional act of an Owner or a
third party occurring in or about any Common Area. If available, each policy
shall contain a cross liability endorsement in which the rights of the named
insured shall not be prejudiced with respect to any action by one named insured
against another named insured.

                        (c) Worker's Compensation: Worker's compensation
insurance to the extent necessary to comply with all applicable laws of the
State of California or the regulations of any governmental body or authority

Board determines to be necessary to fully protect the interests of the Owners.

                        (e) Insurance by Owner: Each Owner, at that Owner's sole
cost and expense, shall obtain insurance coverage which the Owner considers
necessary or desirable to protect that Owner and that Owner's Parcel, Building
and personal property; provided, however, that no Owner shall be entitled to
maintain insurance coverage in a manner so as to decrease the amount which the
Association, on behalf of all Owners and their Mortgagees, may realize under any
insurance policy which the Association may have in effect at any time.

                7.6.3 Annual Review: The Board shall review the adequacy of all
insurance, including the amount of liability coverage and the amount of property
damage coverage, at least once every year. At least once every three years, the
review shall include a replacement cost appraisal of all insurable Common Area
Improvements without respect to depreciation. The Board shall adjust the
policies to provide the amounts and types of coverage and protection that are
customarily carried by prudent owners of similar property in the area in which
the Project is situated.

Documents, the provisions of this Article shall control with respect to the
rights and obligations of Mortgagees specified herein.

        9.2 INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS: Upon request, any Owner or First

and restrictions contained in this Declaration shall be binding upon and
effective against any Owner of a Parcel if the Parcel is acquired by
foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.

                                    ARTICLE X
                            AMENDMENT AND ENFORCEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        10.1 AMENDMENTS: Prior to the conveyance of the first Parcel to an Owner
other than a Declarant, any Project Document may be amended by Declarant alone.
After the conveyance of the first Parcel, the Project Documents may be amended
by the approval of each class of Members; provided however, that no provision of
this Declaration which provides for a vote of more than fifty-one percent (51%)
may be amended by a vote less than the percentage specified in the Section to be
amended. Any amendment to this Declaration shall be effective upon the
recordation in the Official Records of the County of an instrument executed by
the President and Secretary of the Association which sets forth the terms of the
amendment and a statement which certifies that the required percentage of
Members has approved the amendment.

        10.2 ENFORCEMENT:

                10.2.1 Rights to Enforce: Subject to the provisions of Section
10.4, Declarant, the Association and/or any Owner shall have the power to
enforce the provisions of the Project Documents in any manner provided by law or
in equity and in any manner provided in this Declaration. In addition to
instituting appropriate legal action, the Association may temporarily suspend an
Owner's voting rights and/or levy a fine against an Owner in a standard amount
to be determined by the Board from time to time. No determination of whether a
violation has occurred may be made until Notice and Hearing has been provided to
the Owner pursuant to the Bylaws. If legal action is instituted by the
Association, any judgment rendered shall include all appropriate Additional
Charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Declaration,
the Association has no power to cause a forfeiture or abridgement of an Owner's
right to the full use and enjoyment of the Owner's Parcel, including access
thereto over and across the Common Area, due to the Owner's failure to comply
with the provisions of the Project Documents unless the loss or forfeiture is
the result of the judgment of a court, an arbitration decision, a foreclosure
proceeding or a sale conducted pursuant to this Declaration. The provisions of
this Declaration are equitable servitudes, enforceable by any Owner or the
Association against the Association or any other Owner in the Project. Except as
otherwise provided, Declarant, the Association or any Owner(s) has the right to
enforce, in any manner permitted by law or in equity, any and all of the
provisions of the Project Documents, including any decision made by the
Association, upon the Owners, the Association or upon any property in the
Project.

<PAGE>

                10.2.2 Violation of Law: The Association may treat any Owner's
violation of any state, municipal or local law, ordinance or regulation, which
creates a nuisance to the other Owners in the Project or to the Association, in
the same manner as a violation of the Project Documents by making such violation
subject to any or all of the enforcement procedures set forth in this
Declaration, as long as the Association complies with the Notice and Hearing
requirements.

                10.2.3 Remedies Cumulative: Each remedy provided in this
Declaration is cumulative and not exclusive.

                10.2.4 Nonwaiver: The failure to enforce the provisions of any
covenant, condition or restriction contained in this Declaration will not
constitute a waiver of any right to enforce any such provisions or any other
provisions of this Declaration.

        10.3 DISPUTES BETWEEN OWNERS AND DECLARANT: Before any Owner initiates
arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4, the Owner and
Declarant shall first attempt, in good faith, to resolve the dispute informally
by negotiation. Either party may initiate negotiations by writing a letter to
the other party describing the nature of the dispute and any proposals to
resolve the dispute. The letter shall be sent by certified mail and shall be
deemed received three (3) days after its deposit in the U.S. Mail. The recipient
shall respond, within ten (10) days of receipt of the letter, either with a
letter that addresses the dispute and its proposed resolution or by requesting a
meeting of the parties. The meeting(s) shall be held at a mutually acceptable
location. After at least one exchange of letters or at least one meeting of the
parties, should either party honestly believe that the dispute cannot be
resolved informally, then that party shall so notify the other party either
personally at a meeting or in writing. At this point, either party may initiate
arbitration as provided herein. Should either party refuse to participate in the
negotiations, then upon expiration of the ten (10) day initial response time,
the party who sent the initiating letter may commence arbitration proceedings in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4.

                If the dispute involves an alleged problem with materials,
design or construction of any portion of the Project, then Declarant shall have
the right to inspect the alleged problem before any such meeting or any written
response is required from Declarant. If Declarant elects to attempt to cure the
alleged problem, Claimant shall allow Declarant to perform whatever work is
deemed necessary by Declarant during normal working hours. Declarant agrees to
begin its curative work within thirty (30) days after the first meeting between
the parties. If the dispute remains unresolved after the good faith attempt to
negotiate has been concluded or if the curative action performed by Declarant is
not undertaken as promised or does not resolve the alleged problem, then either
party may initiate arbitration as provided herein in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.4.

        10.4 MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION: Any disputes, claims, issues or
controversies between any Owner and Declarant or between the Association and
Declarant regarding any matters that arise out of or are in any way related to
the Project, the relationship between Owner and Declarant or the relationship
between the Association and Declarant, whether contractual or tort, including,
but not limited to, the purchase, sale, condition, design, construction or
materials used in construction of any portion of the Project or the agreement

                                       22
<PAGE>

between Declarant and any Owner to purchase a Parcel or any related agreement,
including, but not limited to warranties, disclosures, or alleged construction
defects (latent or patent), (collectively "disputes") except as otherwise set
forth herein, shall be resolved through the procedures established in this
Declaration. The party who has a dispute with Declarant is referred to as the
"Claimant" in this Section. If negotiations fail then all such disputes shall be
resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by any court action except as
provided for judicial review of arbitration proceedings by California law.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted by and in accordance with the rules of Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS/Endispute) or any successor thereto and, except
for procedural issues, the arbitration proceedings, the ultimate decisions of
the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall be subject to and bound by existing
California case and statutory law including, but not limited, to applicable
statutes of limitation such as California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 337,
337.15(a), 338(d), 340, and 340(3). Nothing herein shall toll, extend, shorten
or otherwise affect any applicable statute of limitation. Should JAMS/Endispute
cease to exist, as such, then all references herein to JAMS/Endispute shall be
deemed to refer to its successor or, if none, to the American Arbitration
Association (in which case its commercial arbitration rules shall be used).

                10.4.1 Selection and Timing: The matter shall be heard by one
(1) arbitrator. Within five (5) business days of receipt of a written request
from one of the parties to arbitrate a claim, JAMS/Endispute shall provide a
list of five (5) qualified names to both parties. The term "qualified" shall
mean a retired judge (or if none is available then an attorney, licensed to
practice in California having at least fifteen (15) years of experience) with a
strong emphasis on the laws governing real estate matters, especially those
dealing with real estate development and construction. Each side will strike one
name (based on reasons listed in CCP Section 1297.121 or 1297.124 or for no
reason at all) until one is left (which shall be the appointed arbitrator),
unless the parties sooner agree. The parties shall have no more than three (3)
business days for the striking of each name. The initiating party shall be the
first party to strike a name and submit it to the other party.

                10.4.2 Discovery: Except as limited herein, each party shall be
entitled to discovery to the extent provided in Section 1283.05 of the Code of
Civil Procedure or any successor statute thereto. Each party shall have the
right to depose the expert witnesses of the other party and to conduct two other
depositions of its choice without the need to obtain an order of the arbitrator.
All other depositions, document requests, requests for admissions and similar
discovery shall be conducted under the direction and supervision of the
arbitrator. No party shall be entitled to bring any motion to exclude or limit
the evidence to be submitted to the arbitrator. No party shall have any other
discovery rights except as authorized by the arbitrator for good cause.

                10.4.3 Full Disclosure: Both parties shall, in good faith, make
a full disclosure of all issues and evidence to the other party prior to the
hearing. Any evidence or information that the arbitrator determines was
unreasonably withheld shall be inadmissible by the party which withheld it. The
initiating party shall be the first to disclose all of the following, in
writing, to the other party and to the arbitrator an outline of the issues and
its position on each such issue; a list of all witnesses it intends to call; and
copies of all written reports and other documentary evidence whether or not
written or contributed to by its retained experts (collectively "outline").

                                       23
<PAGE>

The initiating party shall submit its outline to the other party and the
arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the final selection of the arbitrator. The
responding party shall submit its written response as directed by the
arbitrator. If the dispute involves alleged construction defects, then the
Claimant shall be the first party to submit its written outline, list of
witness, and reports/documents and shall include a detailed description of the
nature and scope of the alleged defect(s), its proposal for repair or
restoration any repairs made to date and an estimate of the cost of
repair/restoration together with the calculations used to derive the estimate.

                10.4.4 Hearing: The hearing shall be held in the County. The
hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the receipt by the parties of
the list of names of proposed arbitrators from JAMS/Endispute unless this date
is determined to be infeasible by the arbitrator in which case the arbitrator
shall select the next available date for the hearing. The arbitration shall be
conducted as informally as possible. Neither the rules of admissibility of
evidence nor the Evidence Code of the State of California shall be applicable
except for Evidence Code Section 1152 et seq. which shall be applicable for the
purpose of excluding from evidence offers, compromises, and settlement
proposals, unless both parties consent to their admission. The arbitrator shall
be the sole judge of the admissibility of and the probative value of all
evidence offered and is authorized to provide all legally recognized remedies
whether in law or equity. Attorneys are not required and either party may elect
to be represented by someone other than a licensed attorney. Cost of an
interpreter shall be born by the party requiring the services of the interpreter
in order to be understood by the arbitrator. Except as set forth herein, the
arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to Title 9 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure, Section 1280 et seq.

                10.4.5 Decision: The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding
on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of the State of
California that has jurisdiction and venue. In no event shall the award of the
arbitrator include any component for punitive or exemplary damages. The
arbitrator shall cause a complete record of all proceedings to be prepared
similar to those kept in the Superior Court; shall try all issues of both fact
and law; and shall issue a written statement of decision, such as that described
in Code of Civil Procedure Section 643 (or its successor) which shall specify
the facts and law relied upon in reaching his/her decision within twenty (20)
days after the close of testimony.

                10.4.6 Fees and Costs: Notwithstanding any statute to the
contrary, including Code of Civil Procedure Section 645.1, each party shall bear
their own costs of the hearing, including attorneys' fees. No attorneys fees or
costs shall be awarded to either party but each party shall be solely
responsible for its own attorneys' fees and costs, including, expert witnesses,
consultants, reports, and similar costs. The total cost of the arbitration
proceedings, including the advanced initiation fees and other fees of
JAMS/Endispute and any related costs and fees incurred by JAMS/Endispute (such
as experts and consultants retained by it) shall be borne as determined by the
arbitrator, regardless of the outcome

                10.4.7 Reference Alternative: To the extent that either party
may be otherwise entitled to bring an action at law pursuant to California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1298.7, or if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that the dispute resolution set forth herein is void or
unenforceable, the entire matter shall proceed as one of judicial reference
pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq. The rules of procedure
set forth herein shall be the

                                       24
<PAGE>

rules of procedure for the reference proceeding, unless precluded by law.
JAMS/Endispute shall hear, try and decide all issues of both fact and law and
make any required findings of facts and, if applicable, conclusions of law and
report these along with the judgment to the supervising court within twenty (20)
days after the close of testimony.

                The parties shall cooperate and diligently perform such acts as
may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                      ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING CONTROL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        11.1 APPLICABILITY:

                11.1.1 Generally: Except as otherwise provided in this
Declaration, proposals for Alterations (which includes all landscaping, except
as provided in 11.1.2, below) are subject to the provisions of this Article and
may not be made until approved in accordance with the provisions of this
Article.

                11.1.2 Exceptions: The provisions of this Declaration requiring
architectural approvals do not apply to repainting or refinishing any
Improvement in the same color, hue, intensity, tone, and shade or repairing or
replacing any Improvement with the same materials. The provisions of this
Declaration requiring architectural approvals include planting or removing
landscaping except for landscaping which at maturity will not be visible from
other Parcels. The Architectural Standards may establish additional exceptions
from time to time.

                11.1.3 Declarant Exemption: The provisions of this Declaration
requiring architectural approvals shall not apply to the original construction
of any Improvements on a Parcel by Declarant, its agents, contractors or
employees. The provisions of this paragraph may not be amended without the
consent of Declarant until all of the Parcels in the Project owned by Declarant
have been conveyed.

                11.1.4 Relationship to Governmental Approvals: Proposals for
Alterations may also be subject to review and approval by state or local
governmental entities or agencies. Satisfying the provisions of this Declaration
does not automatically satisfy any requirement for governmental approval,
permitting or inspection. All approvals, permits and inspections which are
required under local, state or federal law for any proposed Alteration are the
responsibility of the Owner and must be obtained by the Owner in addition to the
approvals required by this Declaration.

        11.2 MEMBERS AND VOTING:

                11.2.1 Initial Committee: The Architectural Committee
("Committee") shall initially consist of three (3) members. Declarant shall
appoint all of the original members of the Committee and all replacements until
the tenth (10th) anniversary of commencement of Regular Assessments. After the
tenth (10th) anniversary of commencement of Regular Assessments, the terms of
the members of the Committee appointed by Declarant shall terminate.

                                       25
<PAGE>

                11.2.2 Appointment by Owners: Commencing upon the tenth (10th)
anniversary of commencement of Regular Assessments, the Committee shall consist
of up to eight (8) members, one member appointed by the Owner of each Parcel (if
an Owner owns more than one (1) Parcel, then that Owner shall appoint one (1)
member, but that member shall have one (1) vote for each Parcel owned). All
members will serve until they resign or are replaced by the Owner that appointed
them. All decisions of the Committee shall be made by majority vote, based upon
one (1) vote for each Parcel which that member represents; provided, however, no
member shall cast a vote with respect to a Parcel which is the subject of the
application.

        11.3 DUTIES AND POWERS:

                11.3.1 Duties: The Committee shall review and approve,
conditionally approve, or deny all plans, submittals, applications and requests
made or tendered to it by Owners or their agents, pursuant to the provisions of
this Declaration. In connection therewith, the Committee may investigate and
consider the architecture, design, layout, landscaping, and other features of
the proposed Improvements.

                11.3.2 Architectural Standards: The Committee, from time to time
and in its sole discretion, may adopt architectural rules, regulations and
guidelines ("Architectural Standards"). The Architectural Standards may impose
specific requirements on individual Parcels if those requirements are reasonable
in light of specific Parcel topography, visibility or other factors. The
Architectural Standards will be effective when they are adopted by the
Committee. The Architectural Standards shall interpret and implement the
provisions of this Declaration by setting forth the standards and procedures for
architectural review and guidelines for architectural design, placement of
buildings, color schemes, exterior finishes and materials, landscaping, fences,
and similar features which may be used in the Project; provided, however, that
the Architectural Standards may not be in derogation of the minimum standards
established by this Declaration. The Architectural Standards may include a
schedule of fees for processing submittals (which shall not exceed the amount
necessary to defray all costs incurred by the Committee in processing the
submittals) and establish the time and manner in which such fees will be paid.
The Architectural Standards will constitute Rules.

                11.3.3 Powers: The Committee may adopt rules and regulations for
the transaction of business, scheduling of meetings, conduct of meetings and
related matters. The Committee may also adopt criteria, consistent with the
purpose and intent of this Declaration to be used in making its determination to
approve, conditionally approve or deny any matter submitted to it for decision.

                11.3.4 Consultants: With the consent of the Board, the Committee
may hire and the Association shall pay consulting architects, landscape
architects, urban designers, engineers, inspectors, and/or attorneys in order to
advise and assist the Committee in performing its duties.

        11.4 APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: Any Owner, except
Declarant and its designated agents, who wants to perform any Alteration for
which approval is required shall notify the Committee in writing of the nature
of the proposed work and shall furnish such information as may be required by
the Architectural Standards or reasonably requested by the Committee.

                                       26
<PAGE>

        11.5 BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: The Committee may approve the
proposal only if the Committee determines that (i) the plans and specifications
conform to this Declaration and to the Architectural Standards in effect at the
time the proposal was submitted and (ii) the proposed Alteration will be
consistent with the standards of the Project and the provisions of this
Declaration as to harmony of exterior design, visibility with respect to
existing structures and environment, and location with respect to topography and
finished grade elevation.

        11.6 FORM OF APPROVALS, CONDITIONAL APPROVALS AND DENIALS: All
approvals, conditional approvals and denials must be in writing. Any denial of a
proposal must state the reasons for the decision to be valid. Any proposal which
has not been rejected in writing within sixty (60) days from the date of
submission will be deemed approved.

        11.7 WORK: Upon approval of the Committee, the Owner must diligently
proceed with the commencement and completion of all work so approved. Completion
of the-work approved must occur within one (1) year following the approval of
the work unless the Architectural Committee grants an extension. This Section
shall not be interpreted to extend any other time period imposed by this
Declaration. If the Owner fails to complete the work within the required time
period, the Committee may notify the Owner in writing of the non-compliance and
shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.9, below.

        11.8 DETERMINATION OF COMPLIANCE: Any work performed, whether or not the
Owner obtained proper approvals, may be inspected and a determination of
compliance made as follows:

                11.8.1 Notice of Completion: Upon the completion of any work
performed by an Owner for which approval was required, the Owner must give
written notice of completion to the Committee.

                11.8.2 Inspection: Within sixty (60) days after the Committee's
receipt of the Owner's notice of completion, or, if the Owner fails to give a
written notice of completion to the Committee within the completion period
specified in Section 11.7, above, a designee of the Committee may inspect the
work performed and determine whether it was performed and completed in
substantial compliance with the approval granted. If the Committee finds that
the work was not performed or completed in substantial compliance with the
approval granted or if the Committee finds that the approval required was not
obtained, the Committee shall notify the Owner in writing of the non-compliance.
The notice shall specify the particulars of non-compliance and require the Owner
to remedy the non-compliance.

        11.9 FAILURE TO REMEDY THE NON-COMPLIANCE: If the Committee has
determined that an Owner has not constructed an Improvement consistently with
the specifications of the approval granted or within the time permitted for
completion and if the Owner fails to remedy such non-compliance in accordance
with the provisions of the notice of non-compliance, then after the expiration
of thirty (30) days from the date of such notification, the Committee shall
notify the Board, and the Board shall provide Notice and Hearing to consider the
Owner's continuing non-compliance. At the Hearing, if the Board finds that there
is no valid reason for the continuing non-compliance, the Board shall determine
the estimated costs

                                       27
<PAGE>

of correcting it. The Board shall then require the Owner to remedy or remove the
same within a period of not more than forty-five (45) days from the date of the
Board's determination. If the Owner does not comply with the Board's ruling
within such period or within any extension of such period as the Board, in its
discretion, may grant, the Board may either remove the non-complying Improvement
or remedy the non-compliance. The costs of such action shall be assessed against
the Owner as a Reimbursement Assessment.

        11.10 WAIVER: Approval of any plans, drawings or specifications for any
work proposed, or for any other matter requiring approval shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any right to deny approval of any similar plan, drawing,
specification or matter subsequently submitted for approval.

        11.11 APPEAL OF DECISION OF COMMITTEE: This Section does not apply if
the Board has dissolved the Committee or during the period of time that a
majority of the Members of the Architectural Committee have been appointed by
Declarant. If the Owner who applied or who the Committee determined should have
applied for approval of an Alteration on a Parcel or Building disputes the
jurisdiction or powers of the Committee or any requirement, rule, regulation or
decision of the Committee applicable to the denial or conditional approval of
the Owner's application (collectively referred to as "decision"), that Owner may
appeal such decision to the Board. The Board shall notify the Owner of the time,
date and place of a hearing to review the decision of the Committee. The notice
shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date set for the hearing
and may be delivered either personally or by mail. If delivery is made by mail,
it shall be deemed to have been delivered seventy-two (72) hours after it has
been deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Owner at the address given by the Owner to the Board for the
purpose of service of notices or to the address of the Owner's Parcel if no
other address has been provided. After the hearing has taken place, the Board
shall notify the Owner of its decision. The decision shall become effective not
less than five (5) days after the date of the hearing. The determination of the
Board shall be final.

        11.12 NO LIABILITY: If members of the Architectural Committee have acted
in good faith, neither the Committee nor any member will be liable to the
Association or to any Owner for any damage, loss or prejudice suffered or
claimed due to: (a) the approval or disapproval of any plans, drawings and
specifications, whether or not defective; (b) the construction or performance of
any work, whether or not pursuant to approved plans, drawings, and
specifications; (c) the development of any property within the Project; or (d)
the execution and filing of any estoppel certificate, whether or not the facts
therein are correct.

        11.13 EVIDENCE OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL: After a determination of
compliance is made pursuant to Section 11.8, the Board may issue a written
Notice of Architectural Determination. The Notice of Architectural Determination
must be executed by any two (2) Directors and shall certify that as of the date
of the Notice either (i) the work completed complies with the provisions of this
Declaration and the approval(s) issued by the Architectural Committee ("Notice
of Approval") or (ii) the work completed does not comply with the provisions of
this Declaration or the approval(s) issued by the Architectural Committee
("Notice of Disapproval"). A Notice of Disapproval must also identify the
particulars of the non-compliance. Any successor in interest of the Owner will
be entitled to rely on a Notice of Architectural Determination with respect to
the matters set forth. Each Owner must disclose to

                                       28
<PAGE>

the Owner's subsequent purchaser any Notice of Disapproval unless the Owner has
a subsequently issued Notice of Approval which covers the same Alteration. The
Notice of Architectural Determination will be conclusive as between the
Association, the Architectural Committee, Declarant and all Owners and such
persons deriving any interest through any of them. Any Owner may make a written
request that the Board prepare and execute a Notice of Architectural
Determination, and the Board must do so within sixty (60) days of its receipt of
the request.

      This Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement ("Agreement")
is made and entered into on March 20, 2001 by and between FormFactor, Inc., a

      Borrower and Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated July 7, 2001 ("Prior Agreement") and hereby agree that the Prior
Agreement is amended and restated in full on the terms and conditions contained
herein.

      Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender shall make the Loans to Borrower in an aggregate amount up to
US$16,000,000 as set forth below.

            In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereof, the
parties agree as follows:

of this Agreement, from time to time from the Closing Date to April 30, 2002

this Agreement, make advances (each a "Revolving Loan" and collectively, the
"Revolving Loans") to Borrower in an aggregate amount outstanding not to exceed
at any one time $12,000,000, the "Maximum Revolving Amount", the proceeds of
which shall be used by Borrower only for short term working capital requirements
and the issuance of Letters of Credit (as defined below). Revolving Loans may be
repaid and reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof including the
provisions of the LIBOR Addendum, provided that the outstanding principal amount
of all Revolving Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

            1.1.2 LETTER OF CREDIT USAGE AND SUBLIMIT. Subject to availability
of Revolving Loans and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
from time to time from the Closing Date to the Business Day immediately prior to
the Maturity Date, Lender shall issue for the account of Borrower such standby
letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit," and collectively, the "Letters of
Credit") as Borrower may request, which requests shall be made by delivering to
Lender a duly executed letter of credit application on Lender's standard form;
provided, however, that the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such
Letters of Credit (i) shall not at any time exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate
(the "Letter of Credit Sublimit"), (ii) shall be deemed to constitute Revolving
Loans for the purpose of calculating the availability of Revolving Loans. Each
Letter of Credit shall have an initial maturity not to exceed 365 days from the
issuance date and shall be renewable annually for another year unless at least
60 days prior to the then current maturity date the Lender gives notice to the

any Letter of Credit shall not be more that eight (8) years from its issuance
date. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender
in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
Lender's form application and letter of credit agreement and such other
agreements as are required by Lender. Borrower shall pay all usual issuance and
other fees that Lender notifies Borrower it will be charged for issuing and
processing Letters of Credit for Borrower. The standard bank fees related to
issuing and processing Letters of Credit are as follows:

date and certain other terms of the Revolving Loans shall be contained in a
promissory note dated the date of this Agreement, as such may be amended or

(each a "Converting Non-Revolving Loan," and collectively, the "Converting
Non-Revolving Loans") to Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$2,000,000, the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower only for equipment
expenditures. Subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained
herein or in the promissory note representing the Converting Non-Revolving
Loans, Borrower may, from time to time through the Maturity Date, borrow, repay
its outstanding borrowings in part or in whole, but may not reborrow any amount
of the Converting Non-Revolving Loans so repaid. From and after the Maturity
Date any amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.

be received by Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time (1) Business Days
prior to the date on which the requested Converting Non-Revolving Loan is to be
made. Converting Non-Revolving Loans shall only be used to purchase Equipment
approved by Lender from time to time, and shall be limited to 100% of the
invoice amount for such Equipment approved by Lender, less any taxes, shipping
and freight charges or discounts, warranty charges, installation expenses and
other soft costs.

            1.2.3 CONVERSION OF NON-REVOLVING EQUIPMENT LOANS. On April 30,
2002, the outstanding amount of all Converting Non-Revolving Loans shall be

the Collateral shall attach to all Collateral without further act on the part of
Lender or Borrower. Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority
security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and shall constitute a
valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date

required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) but no more than
once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to
inspect Borrower's Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and
appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the
amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. This
right to inspect is conditional upon (i) the inspecting entities' execution of
the Confidentiality Letter Agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2.4
("Confidentiality Letter Agreement"); and (ii) the treatment of all information
of Borrower's Books as confidential consistent with the Confidentiality Letter
Agreement.

      2.5 BAILEES AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES IN POSSESSION. In the event that any

an acknowledgment from such third party that it is holding such Collateral for
the benefit of Lender.

      2.6 CONTROL AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining

In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans or
issue Letters of Credit, Borrower makes the following representations and
warranties to Lender which shall be true, correct, and complete in all respects
as of the Closing Date and at, and as of, the date of the making of each Loan or
issuance of each Letter of Credit made thereafter (except to the extent that
such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date):

      4.1 EXISTENCE AND RIGHTS. Borrower is a corporation, duly organized and
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, which
shall survive at least five years beyond the maturity of any Loans hereunder.
Borrower is authorized and in good standing to do business in the state of its
incorporation; Borrower has the appropriate powers and adequate authority,
rights and franchises to own its property and to carry on its business as now
conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each state in which the
character of the properties owned by it therein or the conduct of its business
makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to be so qualified
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and
Borrower has the power and adequate authority to execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower has no investment in any
other business entity unless specified in writing to Lender;

      4.2 AGREEMENT AUTHORIZED. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents are duly authorized and do not require any
registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action with or
by, any governmental body or other regulatory authority; are not in
contravention of or in conflict with any law or regulation or any term or
provision of Borrower's charter/articles of incorporation, or similar document
as the case may be, and this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents is a
valid, binding and legally enforceable obligation of Borrower in accordance with
its terms; subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors rights generally;

      4.3 NO CONFLICT. To the Borrower's knowledge, after due diligence, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Loan Documents are
not in contravention of or in conflict with, and do not result in a breach or
constitute a default under any agreement, contract, indenture, instrument or
undertaking to which Borrower is a party, or by which it or any

                                       7
<PAGE>
of its property may be bound or affected, and do not cause any Lien, charge or
other encumbrance to be created or imposed upon any such property by reason
thereof. To the Borrower's knowledge, after due diligence, it is not in default
under any agreement, contract, indenture, instrument or undertaking to which
Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound, which default could result in a
Material Adverse Change.;

      4.4 LITIGATION. There is no litigation or other proceeding pending or, to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower which
if determined adversely to Borrower or its interest could result in a Material
Adverse Change, and Borrower is not aware that it is in default with respect to
any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other governmental
or regulatory authority;

      4.5 FINANCIAL CONDITION. The consolidated balance sheet of Borrower as of
December 30, 2000, and the related profit and loss statement for the period
ended as of that date, a copy of which has heretofore been delivered to Lender
by Borrower, and all other statements and data submitted in writing by Borrower
to Lender in connection with this request for credit are true and correct, and
said balance sheet and profit and loss statement each fairly presents the
financial condition of Borrower as of the date thereof and the results of the
operations of Borrower for the period covered thereby, and has been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Since such date there have been no changes in the
financial condition or business of Borrower that have resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Borrower is not
aware of any material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, at such date not
reflected in said balance sheet, and Borrower has not entered into special
commitments or substantial contracts that have resulted or could reasonably
result in a Material Adverse Change;

      4.6 TITLE TO ASSETS. Borrower has the power and authority to transfer the
Collateral, and Borrower has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral,
which to the best of its knowledge after reasonable inquiry is free and clear of
any Liens or restrictions, except for Permitted Liens;

required to be filed by Borrower, and has no liability for any delinquent state,
local or federal taxes, and, if Borrower has contracted with any government
agency, Borrower has no liability for renegotiation of profits;

      4.10 TRADEMARKS, PATENTS. Borrower, as of the date hereof, possesses all
necessary trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and
licenses to conduct its business as now operated, without any known conflict
with the valid trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and license rights
of others;

<PAGE>
      4.11 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Borrower is not an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T, U
and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Borrower has
complied with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to
it, violation of which could result in a Material Adverse Change;

      4.12 ERISA. All defined benefit pension plans as defined in the Employees
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), of Borrower meet,
as of the date hereof, the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA. No
Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction as defined in ERISA has occurred with
respect to any such plan, or any other failure by Borrower to comply with ERISA
that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's incurring any liability that
could result in a Material Adverse Change;

      4.13 SOLVENCY, PAYMENT OF DEBTS. Borrower is solvent and able to pay its
debts (including trade debts) as they mature. No transfer of property is being
made by Borrower and no obligation is being incurred by Borrower in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors
of Borrower;

      4.14 FULL DISCLOSURE. No representation, warranty or other statement made
by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Lender contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or
statements not misleading;

      4.15 ENFORCEABILITY; PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTEREST. (i) This Agreement
creates a security interest which is enforceable against the Collateral in which
Borrower now has rights and will create a security interest which is enforceable
against the Collateral in which Borrower hereafter acquires rights at the time
Borrower acquires any such rights, and (ii) when financing statements in
appropriate form are filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State
of California in accordance with the provisions of the California Uniform
Commercial Code ("California UCC") and the equivalent code in effect in the
State of Delaware ("Delaware Code"), this Agreement shall constitute a fully
perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower in
such Collateral (other than intellectual property related collateral, e.g.,
patents, trademarks and copyrights, as to which Borrower covenants and agrees to
not grant a security interest to any third party Person pursuant to Section 6.5
of this Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other person
to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing uniform commercial code
financing statements in accordance with the California UCC and Delaware Code,
other than with respect to the rights of persons to Permitted Liens as shown on
Schedule 2.1 attached hereto, and as that schedule may be amended from time to
time hereafter by mutual consent, which consent on the part of Borrower and
Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld;

      4.16 OTHER FINANCING STATEMENTS. Other than financing statements in favor
of Lender and financing statements filed in connection with Permitted Liens, no
effective financing statement naming Borrower as debtor, assignor, grantor,
mortgagor, pledgor or the like and

                                       9
<PAGE>
covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or recording
office in any jurisdiction.

9.    LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

      9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its election, without notice of its
election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which
are authorized by Borrower:

            9.1.1 Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement,
by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.7, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without
any action by Lender;

            9.1.2 Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents,
or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender; provided, however,
that Lender shall have no duty to make advances while any Event of Default
exists notwithstanding any cure period provided for herein;

            9.1.3 Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents
as to any future liability or obligation of Lender, but without affecting
Lender's rights and security interests in the Collateral and without affecting
the Obligations;

            9.1.4 Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Lender reasonably
considers advisable;

                                       15
<PAGE>
            9.1.5 Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any guarantor,
make such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its
security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral
if Lender so requires, and to deliver or make available to Lender all or any
portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other
documents relating thereto as Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender
to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain
possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Lender's determination
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses
incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower's owned
premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of
such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any
of Lender's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

            9.1.6 Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances
and deposits of Borrower held by Lender, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing
to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;

            9.1.7 Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or
both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in
such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Lender
determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations
in whatever manner or order Lender deems appropriate; provided, however, that
Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral
for sale;

            9.1.8 Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

            9.1.9 To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may have a
receiver appointed as a matter of right, who may be an employee of Lender and
may serve without bond, and all fees of such receiver and his or her attorney
shall become part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement and payable from
the disposition of the Collateral, payable upon demand with interest at the rate
applicable to Loans hereunder until repaid; and

            9.1.10 Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above shall be paid immediately by Borrower.

      9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and
appoints Lender (and any of Lender's designated officers, employees or agents)
as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default: (a) send requests for verification of
Accounts or notify account debtors of Lender's security interest in the
Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or
security that may come into Lender's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any
invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account
debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and
notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and
adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of
insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts
directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Lender
determines to be reasonable; (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law;
provided, however, that Lender or any of its designees or attorneys-in-fact may

                                       16
<PAGE>
exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 2.3, and to do any and all things necessary in
the name and on behalf of Borrower in order to perfect, or continue the
perfection of, Lender's security interests in the Collateral, regardless of
whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. Borrower agrees that
neither Lender, nor any of its designees or attorneys-in-fact, will be liable
for any act of commission or omission, or for any error of judgment or mistake
of fact or law with respect to the exercise of the power of attorney granted
under this Section 9.2, other than as a result of its or their gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The appointment of Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact
and each and every one of Lender's rights and powers granted under this Section
9.2, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, Lender's obligation to provide
advances hereunder has been terminated, and all Borrower's duties hereunder have
been performed in full.

      9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. At any time during the occurrence and continuance
of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may notify any Person owing funds to
Borrower of Lender's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of
such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Lender,
receive in trust all payments as Lender's trustee, and immediately deliver such
payments to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtor,
with proper endorsements for deposit.

      9.4 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES BY LENDER. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or
furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the
following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or
any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as
Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such
failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in
Section 5.3 hereof, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender
deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Lender shall be immediately
due and payable, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to the Loans
from time to time, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by
Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in
the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

      9.5 NO OBLIGATION TO PURSUE OTHERS. Lender shall have no obligation to
attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any third Person
which may be liable for them or any portion thereof, and Lender may release,
modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person as security for the
Obligations or any portion thereof, all without affecting Lender's rights
against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to
pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations.

      9.6 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Lender may comply with any applicable
state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the
Collateral, and Lender's compliance therewith will not be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

      9.7 WARRANTIES. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties
of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect
the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

                                       17
<PAGE>
      9.8 SALES ON CREDIT. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit,
Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser,
received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the
event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the
Collateral and Borrower will be credited with the proceeds of such sale.

      9.9 NO MARSHALING. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any
assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of the Obligations or any
other obligation owed to Lender by Borrower or any other Person.

      9.10 GOVERNMENT CONSENTS. Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right,
privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which requires any consent,
approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any federal, state,
local or other governmental authority, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver,
or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates,
instruments, assignments, and other documents and papers that Lender or any
purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain for such governmental
consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization.

      9.11 LENDER'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as Lender complies with
its obligations under the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable
or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c)
any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

      9.12 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative and
not alternative. Lender shall have all other rights, powers and remedies not
inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity against
Borrower or any other person, including but not limited to Lender's rights of
setoff or banker's lien. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be
deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on
Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Lender shall
be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Lender and
then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.

      9.13 DEMAND; PROTEST. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or
renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at
any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

10.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      10.1 FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of
Lender or any holder of notes issued hereunder, in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other
or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All
rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or any note(s) issued in
connection with a

                                       18

any particular provision of this Agreement. An Event of Default shall "continue"
or be "continuing" until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by
Lender. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references are to
this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in
the Loan Documents to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall include
all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as
applicable. All accounting terms shall have the meanings applied under GAAP
unless otherwise specified. All section titles appear as a matter of convenience
only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

      10.4 CUMULATIVE EFFECT, CONFLICT OF TERMS. The provisions of the other
Loan Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision
contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with,
any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in
this Agreement shall govern and control.

      10.5 COUNTERPARTS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be executed by the
parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an

agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes amends and restates in full any prior agreements, written
or oral, with respect thereto.

      10.6 LENDER'S EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY'S FEES. If, at any time or times
regardless of whether an Event of Default then exists, Lender pays or incurs
legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or expenses in connection with
(a) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, (b) the administration of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents and the transactions or the Collateral contemplated hereby
and

                                       19
<PAGE>
thereby, (c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action
(whether instituted by Lender, Borrower, or any other Person) in any way
relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
Borrower's affairs, (d) any attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against
Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other person which may be obligated to Lender by

collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral,
then all such reasonable legal and accounting expenses (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees) together with all other reasonable costs and expenses of Lender
shall be payable by Borrower without demand after notice, and Borrower shall
promptly pay all such amounts payable to Lender under this Section 10.6, and all
such amounts shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest from the

time to time. If suit is brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs in addition to any other remedy or recovery awarded by the court.

      10.7 INUREMENT. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however,
that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder
without Lender's prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be
absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Borrower
from its Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties
hereunder and no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with
any such assignment to an equally rated and bona fide financial institution.
Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or grant
participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Lender's rights and
benefits hereunder. In connection with any such assignment or participation,
Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter
may have relating to Borrower or Borrower's business. To the extent that Lender
assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to a third Person, Lender
thereafter shall be released from such assigned obligations to Borrower and such
assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and such third Person.

      10.8 APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement and all other agreements and
instruments required by Lender in connection therewith shall be governed by and
construed according to the internal laws of the State of California, except to
the extent that the Code provides for the application of the laws of another
state.

      10.9 SEVERABILITY. Should any one or more provisions of the Agreement be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions nevertheless
shall be effective.

this Agreement and of every part hereof.

      10.11 REFERENCE PROVISION.

            10.11.1 Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure and all matters in
connection therewith regarding security interests in real or personal property;
or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, or the exercise of other provisional
remedies (any and all of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law),
each controversy, dispute or claim between the parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, any security agreement executed by Borrower in favor
of Lender or any note executed by Borrower in favor of Lender or any other
agreement or instrument

                                       20
<PAGE>
issued in favor of Lender by Borrower (collectively in this Section, the
"Agreement") which controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing
within 30 days after the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which a party
subject to this Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a
controversy, dispute or claim exists), shall be settled by a reference
proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et
seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor section
("CCP"), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any
controversy, dispute or claim concerning this Agreement, including whether such
controversy, dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and except
as set forth above, the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal
proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than the
Superior Court in the County where the Real Property, if any, is located or the
County in which the Obligations are payable to Lender if none (the "Court"). The
referee shall be a retired judge of the Court selected by mutual agreement of
the parties, and if they cannot so agree within 45 days after the Claim Date,
the referee shall be promptly selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or
his representative). The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge,
with all of the powers of a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon
selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in
Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule).
Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP Section 170.6.
The referee shall (a) be requested to set the matter FOR hearing within 60 days
after the date of selection of the referee and (b) try any and all issues of law
or fact and report a statement of decision upon them, if possible, within 90
days of the Claim Date. Any decision rendered by the referee shall be final,
binding and conclusive and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP Section 644
in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction. Any party may apply
for a reference proceeding at any time after 30 days following notice to any
other party of the nature of the controversy, dispute or claim, by filing a
petition for a hearing or trial. All discovery permitted by this Agreement shall
be completed no later than 15 days before the first hearing date established by
the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party's
refusal to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever, including,
without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability
of a witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be entitled to "priority"
in conducting discovery. Depositions may be taken by either party upon 14 days
written notice, and request for production or inspection of documents shall be
responded to within 20 days after service. All disputes relating to discovery
which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose
decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Pending appointment of the
