extent not necessary to cover such loss, cost, damage or expense, the Security
Deposit, without any interest thereon, shall be returned to Tenant within sixty
(60) days after expiration of the Lease Term or as may be otherwise provided by
law; provided, however, that Landlord may also deduct any amount from the
Security Deposit Landlord estimates may be required to cover any shortfall in
Additional Rent deposits made by Tenant in the final year of the Lease until
such time as Landlord has completed its annual Additional Rent reconciliation
for such year. The Security Deposit shall not be considered as an advance
payment of rent or as a measure of the loss, cost, damage or expense that is or
may be sustained by Landlord. In the event all or any portion of the Security
Deposit is applied by Landlord to pay any such loss, cost, damage or expense,
Tenant shall, from time to time, promptly upon demand, deposit with Landlord
such amounts as may be necessary to replenish the Security Deposit to its
original amount.

Landlord shall not be required to hold the Security Deposit in an escrow or
trust deposit account, and Landlord may commingle the Monthly Deposits with
Landlord's own funds. Landlord shall not be obligated to pay interest to Tenant
on account of the Monthly Deposits and Security Deposit. In the event of a
transfer by Landlord of Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises, Landlord or
the property manager of Landlord may deliver the Monthly Deposits and Security
Deposit to the transferee of Landlord's interest and Landlord and such property
manager shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability to Tenant with
respect to such Monthly Deposits and Security Deposit. In the event of a
transfer by Tenant of Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises, Landlord shall
be entitled to return the Monthly Deposits and Security Deposit to Tenant's
successor in interest and Landlord shall thereupon be discharged from any
further liability with respect to the Monthly Deposits and Security Deposit.

its sole discretion, in connection with such consent; and unless Tenant pays to

Landlord in determining whether to approve any such Changes. Landlord's consent
to any Changes and the conditions imposed in connection therewith shall be

of trust encumbering the Property. If such consent is given, no such changes
shall be permitted unless Tenant shall have procured and paid for all necessary

jurisdiction; unless such Changes will not reduce the value of the Property, and
will not affect or impair existing insurance on the Property; and unless Tenant,

agrees that any such Changes approved by Landlord shall be completed with due
diligence and in a good and workmanlike fashion and in compliance with all
conditions imposed by Landlord and all applicable permits, authorizations, laws,
ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having

maintain on the Demised Premises and Building Notices of Owner's Non-Liability
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or in such other form as Landlord may
from time to time require in writing. Tenant shall have the right to contest, in

costs, and to prevent any sale, foreclosure or forfeiture of any interest in the
Property on account of any such lien, including, without limitation, bonding,
escrow or endorsement of the title insurance policy of Landlord and any holder
of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property. If Tenant so contests,
then on final determination of the lien or claim for lien, Tenant shall
immediately pay any judgment rendered, with interest and costs, and will cause
the lien to be released and any judgment satisfied.

         8.14 No Other Encumbrances. Tenant covenants and agrees not to obtain
any financing secured by Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises and not to
encumber the Demised Premises or Landlord's or Tenant's interest therein,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, and to keep the Demised Premises
free from all liens and encumbrances except liens and encumbrances existing upon
the date of commencement of the Lease Term or liens and encumbrances created by
Landlord.

         8.15 Subordination to Landlord Mortgages. Tenant covenants and agrees
that this Lease and Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises shall be junior
and subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering
the Property. In the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of
trust, Tenant shall attorn to the party acquiring title to the Property as the
result of such foreclosure. No act or further agreement by Tenant shall be
necessary to establish the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage or
deed of trust, which is self-executing, but Tenant covenants and agrees, upon
request to Landlord, to execute such documents as may be necessary or
appropriate to confirm and establish this Lease as subordinate to any such
mortgage or deed of trust in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
including, without limitation, the form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. Alternatively, Tenant
covenants and agrees that, at the option of any mortgagee or beneficiary under a
deed of trust, Tenant shall execute documents as may be necessary to establish
this Lease and Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises as superior to any such
mortgage or deed of trust. If Tenant fails to execute any documents required to
be executed by Tenant under the provisions hereof, Tenant hereby makes,
constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney in fact and
in Tenant's name, place and stead to execute any such document. In the event
Tenant requests any changes or revisions to any such document or agreement,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, the
reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with the negotiation,
drafting, and revision thereof, including attorneys' fees.

         8.16 Assignment or Subletting. Tenant covenants and agrees not to make
or permit a Transfer by Tenant, as hereinafter defined, without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Transfer by
Tenant shall include an assignment of this Lease, a sublease of all or any part
of the Demised Premises, any transfer of 50% or more of the voting stock or
interests of Tenant, or any assignment, sublease, license, franchise, transfer,
mortgage, pledge or encumbrance of all or any part of Tenant's interest under
this Lease or in the Demised Premises, by operation of law or otherwise, or the
use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises by anyone other than
Tenant. Any such Transfer by Tenant without Landlord's written consent shall be
void and shall constitute a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord
consents to any Transfer by Tenant, Tenant shall not be relieved of its
obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall remain liable, jointly and
severally and as a principal, and not as a guarantor or surety, under this
Lease, to the same extent as though no Transfer by Tenant had been made, unless
specifically provided to the contrary in Landlord's prior written consent. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of this Section or of any
other provision of this Lease and any consent by Landlord to a Transfer by
Tenant shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant. In
giving or withholding its consent to a proposed Transfer by Tenant, Landlord
shall be entitled to consider any reasonable factor, including but not limited
to the following: (a) financial strength and credit history of the proposed
subtenant/assignee; (b) business reputation of the

                                      11

proposed subtenant/assignee; (c) proposed use of the Demised Premises by the
proposed subtenant/assignee; (d) managerial and operational skills of the
proposed subtenant/assignee; and (e) compatibility of the proposed
subtenant/assignee with other tenants of the Building.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, at Landlord's
option, have the right, in lieu of consenting to a Transfer by Tenant, to
terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Demised Premises that is subject
to the proposed Transfer by Tenant and to enter into a new lease with the
proposed transferee and receive directly from the proposed transferee the
consideration agreed to be given by such transferee to Tenant for the Transfer
by Tenant. Alternatively, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall pay over to
Landlord all sums received by Tenant in excess of the rent payable by Tenant
hereunder that is attributable on an equally allocable square foot basis, to the
subletting of all or any portion of the Demised Premises so subleased.

                  In the event Landlord consents to a Transfer by Tenant, any
option to renew this Lease or right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically
terminate unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord. Tenant covenants and
agrees that in the event Landlord consents to a sublease by Tenant, Tenant and
Tenant's Subtenant shall enter into the form of Sublease, Assumption and Consent
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E, and in the event Landlord consents to an
assignment, Tenant and Tenant's assignee shall enter into the form of
Assignment, Assumption, and Consent Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F, or
the standard form of agreement in each case then being used by Landlord for
subleases and assignments. In the event Tenant or Tenant's transferee requests
any changes or revisions to any such agreement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, the reasonable costs and expenses
of Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for consent to a Transfer,
including attorneys' fees.

         8.17 Annual Financial Statements. Tenant covenants and agrees to
furnish to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written request,
copies of Tenant's most recent year end financial statements, and agrees that
Landlord may deliver any such financial statements to any existing or
prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Property. The financial statements
shall include a balance sheet as of the end of, and a statement of profit and
loss for, the preceding fiscal year of Tenant and, if regularly prepared by
Tenant, a statement of sources and use of funds for the preceding fiscal year of
Tenant.

         8.18 Payment of Income and Other Taxes. Tenant covenants and agrees to
pay promptly when due all personal property taxes on personal property of Tenant
on the Demised Premises and all federal, state and local income taxes, sales
taxes, use taxes, Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes and taxes withheld
from wages or salaries paid to Tenant's employees, the nonpayment of which might
give rise to a lien on the Demised Premises or Tenant's interest therein, and to
furnish, if requested by Landlord, evidence of such payments.

         8.19 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord's written request, a written
Estoppel Certificate certifying that this Lease is unmodified (or, if modified,
stating the modifications) and in full force and effect; stating the dates to
which Basic Rent has been paid, stating the amount of the Security Deposit held
by Landlord; stating the amount of the Monthly Deposits held by Landlord for the
then tax and insurance year; and stating whether or not Landlord is in default
under this Lease (and, if so, specifying the nature of the default); and stating
such other matters concerning this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request,
including but not limited to, the form of Estoppel Certificate attached hereto
as Exhibit G. Tenant agrees that such statement may be delivered to and relied
upon by any existing or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Property.
Tenant agrees that a failure to deliver such a statement within ten (10) days
after written request from Landlord shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this
Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as

                                       12

may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults by Landlord
under this Lease; and that any representation by Landlord with respect to Basic
Rent, the Security Deposit and Monthly Deposits are true. In the event Tenant
requests any changes or revisions to any such Estoppel Certificate, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, the reasonable
costs and expenses of Landlord in connection the negotiation, drafting and
revision of such Estoppel Certificate, including attorneys' fees.

         8.20 Landlord Right to Inspect and Show Premises and to Install "For
Sale" Signs. Tenant covenants and agrees that Landlord and the authorized
representatives of Landlord shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises
at any reasonable time for the purposes of inspecting, repairing or maintaining
the same or performing any obligations of Tenant that Tenant has failed to
perform hereunder or for the purposes of showing the Demised Premises to any
existing or prospective mortgagee, purchaser or lessee of the Property or the
Demised Premises. Tenant covenants and agrees that Landlord may at any time and
from time to time place on the Property or the Demised Premises a sign
advertising the Property or the Demised Premises for sale or for lease.

         8.21 Landlord Right to Renovate, Expand or Modify Building. Tenant
covenants and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to renovate, expand,
reconstruct, or otherwise modify the Building and/or Common Facilities at any
time, in Landlord's sole discretion; provided, however, that no such renovation,
expansion, reconstruction, or other modification shall permanently and
materially interfere with Tenant's right to the quiet use and enjoyment of the
Demised Premises according to the terms of this Lease. In the event any
renovation, expansion, reconstruction or other modification of the Building or
Common Facilities by Landlord causes a temporary material interference with
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, then during the period of
such interference, there shall be an abatement of Basic Rent and Additional Rent
proportionate to the extent of the space and period of time that Tenant is
unable to use and enjoy the Demised Premises.

         8.22 Landlord Right to Relocate. Tenant covenants and agrees that
Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than sixty (60) days prior notice
to Tenant, to relocate Tenant from the Demised Premises to another space in the
Building or in another building owned by Landlord or any of its affiliates in
the vicinity of the Building; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed,
such relocation space shall be of equal or greater rentable square feet than the
Demised Premises and shall be of substantially similar or better overall quality
than the Demised Premises. Landlord shall pay the costs of any tenant finish
required to make such relocation space suitable for Tenant's business and shall
credit or reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of moving Tenant's
furniture, equipment, and other personalty from the Demised Premises to the
relocation space. Landlord shall not otherwise be liable for any loss, cost,
expense, or damage of Tenant in connection therewith, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect without modification for the remainder of the
Lease term.

         8.23 Landlord Title to Fixtures, Improvements and Equipment. Tenant
covenants and agrees that all fixtures and improvements on the Demised Premises
and all equipment and personal property relating to the use and operation of the
Demised Premises (as distinguished from operations incident to the business of

operation of the Demised Premises). If such removal shall injure or damage the
Demised Premises Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, at
or prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, to repair such injury and damage
in good and workmanlike fashion and to place the Demised Premises in the same
condition as the Demised Premises would have been if such Tenant's Equipment had
not been installed. If Tenant fails to remove any Tenant's Equipment by the
Expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord may, at its option, keep and retain any
such Tenant's Equipment or dispose of the same and retain any proceeds
therefrom, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant any costs or
expenses of Landlord in removing the same and in restoring the Demised Premises
in excess of the actual proceeds, if any, received by Landlord from disposition
thereof. Tenant releases and discharges Landlord from any and all claims and
liabilities of any kind arising out of Landlord's disposition of Tenant's
Equipment.

employees for loss, damage or injury to person or property sustained by Tenant
or Tenant's officers, agents, employees, guests, invitees, or anyone claiming

negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, Landlord, its beneficiaries, successors and assigns,
shall not be personally liable with respect to any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord
in the Property in the event of any default or liability of Landlord under this
Lease, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without any exception
whatsoever.

         8.27 Release upon Transfer by Landlord. In the event of a transfer by
Landlord of the Property or of Landlord's interest as Landlord under this Lease,
Landlord's successor or assignee shall take subject to and be bound by this
Lease and, in such event, Tenant covenants and agrees that Landlord shall be
released from all obligations of Landlord under this Lease, except obligations
that arose and matured prior to such transfer by Landlord; that Tenant shall
thereafter look solely to Landlord's successor or assign for satisfaction of the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease; and that, upon demand by Landlord or
Landlord's successor or assign, Tenant shall attorn to such successor or assign.

the Demised Premises, Tenant shall be responsible for installation of such
monitoring system, for any required building permits, monthly monitoring fees,
and any fines, penalties or other charges for false alarms. Should such

agencies, or deemed by Landlord to be advisable for the operation of the
Building, Landlord shall be responsible for installation of such monitoring
systems, and all costs and expenses relating thereto shall be included as Common
Facilities Charges.

Premises or migrating to or from the Demised Premises, or (2) result in the
violation of any Environmental Requirements pertaining to the Demised Premises
and the activities thereon:

                9.2.1 Landlord;

                9.2.2 any other person who acquires an interest in the Demised
Premises in any manner, including but not limited to purchase at a foreclosure
sale or otherwise; and

                9.2.3 the directors, officers, shareholders, employees,
partners, agents, contractors, subcontractors, experts, licensees, affiliates,
lessees, mortgagees, trustees, heirs, devisees, successors, assigns, guests and
invitees of such persons.

         This obligation shall include, but not be limited to, the burden and
expense of investigating and defending all claims, suits and administrative
proceedings (with counsel reasonably approved by the indemnified parties),
including attorneys' fees and expert witness and consulting fees, even if such
claims, suits or proceedings are groundless, false or fraudulent, and conducting
all negotiations of any description, and paying and discharging, when and as the
same become due, any and all judgments, penalties or other sums due against such
indemnified persons, and all such expenses incurred in enforcing the obligation
to indemnify. Tenant, at its sole expense, may employ additional counsel of its
choice to associate with counsel representing the indemnified parties.

         9.3 Tenant's Obligation to Remediate. Notwithstanding the obligation of
Tenant to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this agreement, Tenant shall, upon
demand of Landlord, and at its sole cost and expense, promptly take all actions
to remediate the Demised Premises, Building, and Land that are reasonably
necessary to mitigate Environmental Damages or to allow full economic use of the
Building and Land, or are required by Environmental Requirements, which
remediation is necessitated by the 1) introduction of a Hazardous Material upon,
about or beneath the Demised Premises or 2) a violation of Environmental
Requirements, EITHER OF WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE ACTIONS OF TENANT, ITS EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, GUESTS, INVITEES OR LICENSEES. Tenant shall
promptly provide to Landlord copies of testing results and reports that are
generated in connection with the above activities, and copies of any
correspondence with any governmental entity related to such activities.

other communication concerning any actual, alleged, suspected or threatened
violation of Environmental Requirements, or liability of Tenant for
Environmental Damages in connection with the Demised Premises or past or present
activities of any person thereon, or that any representation set forth in this
agreement is not or is no longer accurate, then Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, within ten days of the receipt of such notice or communication by
Landlord, a written description of said violation, liability, correcting
information, or actual or threatened event or condition, together with copies of
any such notice or communication. Receipt of such notice shall not be deemed to
create any obligation on the part of Landlord to defend or otherwise respond to
any such notification or communication.

         9.5 Negative Covenants.

                9.5.1 No Hazardous Material on Demised Premises. Except in
strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements, Tenant shall not cause,
permit or suffer any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, treated, kept,
stored, disposed of, discharged, released, produced, manufactured, generated,
refined or used upon, about or beneath the Demised Premises by Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, guests, licensees or invitees,
or any other person. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all documents

Environmental Requirements with respect to the Demised Premises, such delivery
to be contemporaneous with provision of the documents to the governmental
agency.

not cause, permit or suffer the existence or the commission by Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or guests, licensees or invitees,
or by any other person of a violation of any Environmental Requirements upon,
about or beneath the Demised Premises or any portion of the Building or Land.

         9.6 Landlord's Right to Inspect and to Audit Tenant's Records. Landlord
shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, but not the duty, to
enter and conduct an inspection of the Demised Premises and to inspect and audit
Tenant's records concerning Hazardous Materials at any reasonable time to
determine whether Tenant is complying with the terms of the Lease, including but
not limited to the compliance of the Demised Premises and the activities thereon
with Environmental Requirements and the existence of Environmental Damages.
Tenant hereby grants to Landlord the right to enter the Demised Premises and to
perform such tests on the Demised Premises as are reasonably necessary in the
opinion of Landlord to assist in such audits and investigations. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the business of Tenant by
such tests inspections and audits, but Landlord shall not be liable for any
interference caused thereby.

         9.7 Landlord's Right to Remediate. Should Tenant fail to perform or
observe any of its obligations or agreements pertaining to Hazardous Materials
or Environmental Requirements, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the
duty, without limitation upon any of the rights of Landlord pursuant to this
Lease, to enter the Demised Premises personally or through its agents,
consultants or contractors and perform the same. Tenant agrees to indemnify
Landlord for the costs thereof and liabilities therefrom as set forth in Section
9.2.

                              DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

         10.1 Damage to Demised Premises. If any portion of the Demised Premises
shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Landlord ("Tenant's Notice of Damage").

         10.2 Options to Terminate if Damage to Demised Premises is Substantial.
Upon receipt of Tenant's Notice of Damage, Landlord shall promptly proceed to
determine the nature and extent of the damage or destruction and to estimate the
time necessary to repair or restore the Demised Premises. As soon as reasonably
possible, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant stating Landlord's
estimate of the time necessary to repair or restore the Demised Premises
("Landlord's Notice of Repair Time"). If Landlord reasonably estimates that
repair or restoration of the Demised Premises cannot be completed within two
hundred forty (240) days from the time of Landlord's Notice of Repair Time,
Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease. If,
however, the damage or destruction was caused by the act or omission of Tenant
or Tenant's officers, employees, agents, guests or invitees or of anyone
claiming by, through or under Tenant, Landlord shall have the option to
terminate this Lease if Landlord reasonably estimates that the repair or
restoration cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred forty (240) days
from the time of Tenant's Notice of Damage, but Tenant shall not have the option
to terminate this Lease. Any option granted hereunder shall be exercised by
written notice to the other party given within ten (10) days after Landlord's
Notice of Repair Time. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises its option to
terminate this Lease, the Lease Term shall expire thirty (30) days after the
notice by either Landlord or Tenant exercising such party's option to terminate
this Lease. Following termination of this Lease under the provisions hereof,
Landlord shall refund to Tenant such amounts of Basic Rent and Additional Rent
theretofore paid by Tenant as may be applicable to the period subsequent to the
time of Tenant's Notice of Damage less the reasonable value of any use or
occupation of the Demised Premises by Tenant subsequent to the time of Tenant's
Notice of Damage.

         10.3 Damage to Building. If the Building shall be damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are affected) to
the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value of the
Building, and within thirty (30) days after the happening of such damage
Landlord shall decide not to reconstruct or rebuild the Building, then upon
written notice to Tenant within such thirty (30) days, this Lease shall
terminate and Landlord shall refund to Tenant such amounts of Basic Rent and
Additional Rent paid by Tenant for the period after such damage less the
reasonable value of any use or occupation of the Demised Premises by Tenant
during such period.

         10.4 Obligations to Repair and Restore. If repair and restoration of
the Demised Premises can be completed within the period specified in Section
10.2, in Landlord's reasonable estimation, or if neither Landlord nor Tenant
terminate this Lease as provided in Sections 10.2 or 10.3, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall proceed forthwith to cause
the Demised Premises to be repaired and restored with reasonable diligence and
there shall be an abatement of Basic Rent and Additional Rent proportionate to
the extent of the space and period of time that Tenant is unable to use and
enjoy the Demised Premises. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to
arrange for and supervise the repair and restoration of the Demised Premises, in
which case Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the insurance proceeds for such
repair and restoration at the time or times such funds are needed, provided that
such proceeds are sufficient to cover the costs of repair or restoration.

         10.5 Application of Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any Casualty
Insurance maintained on the Demised Premises, other than casualty insurance
maintained by Tenant on fixtures and personal

                                       18

property of Tenant, shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord,
subject to any obligation of Landlord to cause the Demised Premises to be
repaired and restored and further subject to any rights of a holder of a
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property to such proceeds. Landlord's
obligation to repair and restore the Demised Premises provided in this Article
10 is limited to the repair and restoration that can be accomplished with the
proceeds of any Casualty Insurance maintained on the Demised Premises. The
amount of any such insurance proceeds is subject to any right of a holder of a
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property to apply such proceeds to its
secured debt.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                  CONDEMNATION

         11.1 Taking -- Substantial Taking -- Insubstantial Taking. A "Taking"
shall mean the taking of all or any portion of the Demised Premises as a result
of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation for public or
quasi-public use or the sale of all or part of the Demised Premises under the
threat of condemnation. A "Substantial Taking" shall mean a Taking of twenty
five percent (25%) or more of the area (in square feet) of either the Demised
Premises or the Building. An "Insubstantial Taking" shall mean a Taking that
does not constitute a Substantial Taking.

         11.2 Termination on Substantial Taking. If there is a Substantial
Taking with respect to the Demised Premises or the Building, the Lease Term
shall expire on the date of vesting of title pursuant to such Taking. In the
event of termination of this Lease under the provisions hereof, Landlord shall
refund to Tenant such amounts of Basic Rent and Additional Rent theretofore paid
by Tenant as may be applicable to the period subsequent to the time of
termination of this Lease.

         11.3 Restoration on Insubstantial Taking. In the event of an
Insubstantial Taking, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
Landlord shall proceed forthwith to cause the Demised Premises, less such
Taking, to be restored as near as may be to the original condition thereof and
there shall be abatement of Basic Rent and Additional Rent proportionate to the
extent of the space so taken. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to
arrange for and handle the restoration of the Demised Premises, in which case
Landlord shall furnish Tenant with sufficient funds for such restoration at the
time or times such funds are needed.

         11.4 Right to Award. The total award, compensation, damages or
consideration received or receivable as a result of a Taking ("Award") shall be
paid to and be the property of Landlord, including, without limitation, any part
of the Award made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold
or the fee of the Demised Premises. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, all of
Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any such Award. Tenant covenants
and agrees to execute, immediately upon demand by Landlord, such documents as
may be necessary to facilitate collection by Landlord of any such Award.
Notwithstanding Landlord's right to the entire Award, Tenant shall be entitled
to any separate award, if any, for the loss of Tenant's personal property or the
loss of Tenant's business and profits.

                               DEFAULTS BY TENANT

               The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a "Default by Tenant" of this Lease:

         12.1 Failure to Pay Rent or Other Amounts. A Default by Tenant shall
exist if Tenant fails to pay Monthly Rental (or any portion thereof), Basic
Rent, Additional Rent, Monthly Deposits, or any other

                                       19

<PAGE>

amounts payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, within three (3) days
after such rental or amount is due.

         12.2 Nonoccupancy of Demised Premises. A Default by Tenant shall exist
if Tenant shall fail to occupy and use the Demised Premises within thirty (30)
days after commencement of the Lease Term or shall leave the Demised Premises
continuously unoccupied and shall vacate and abandon the Demised Premises.

         12.3 Transfer of Interest Without Consent. A Default by Tenant shall
exist if Tenant's interest under this Lease or in the Demised Premises shall be
transferred to or pass to or devolve upon any other party without Landlord's
prior written consent.

         12.4 Execution and Attachment Against. A Default by Tenant shall exist
if Tenant's interest under this Lease or in the Demised Premises shall be taken
upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or shall be
subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor or claimant against
Tenant and said attachment shall not be discharged or disposed of within thirty
(30) days after the levy thereof.

         12.5 Bankruptcy or Related Proceedings. A Default by Tenant shall exist
if Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for
reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or
under any similar act of any state, or shall voluntarily take advantage of any
such law or act by answer or otherwise, or shall be dissolved or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or if involuntary proceedings under any
such bankruptcy or insolvency law or for the dissolution of Tenant shall be
instituted against Tenant or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the
Demised Premises or for all or substantially all of the property of Tenant, and
such proceedings shall not be dismissed or such receivership or trustee-ship
vacated within sixty (60) days after such institution or appointment.

         12.6 Violation of Lease Terms. A Default by Tenant shall exist if
Tenant breaches or fails to comply with any agreement, term, covenant or
condition in this Lease applicable to Tenant (other than those referred to in
Sections 12.1 through 12.5 above), and Tenant does not cure such breach or
failure within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, or,
if such breach or failure to comply cannot be reasonably cured within such
30-day period, if Tenant shall not in good faith commence to cure such breach or
failure to comply with such 30-day period or shall not diligently proceed
therewith to completion with sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the
breach or failure.

                               LANDLORD'S REMEDIES

         13.1 Remedies Generally. Upon the occurrence of any Default by Tenant,
Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's election, then or at anytime
thereafter, to exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

                13.1.1 Cure by Landlord. In the event of a Default by Tenant,
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, but without obligation to do so, and without
releasing Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, make any payment or take
any action as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to cure any such Default
by Tenant in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable. Landlord may do so without demand on, or written notice to, Tenant
and without giving Tenant any opportunity to cure such Default by Tenant. Tenant
covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, all
advances, costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with the making of any

                                       20

<PAGE>

such payment or the taking of any such action, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, together with interest as hereinafter provided from the day of payment of
any such advances, costs and expenses by Landlord. Action taken by Landlord may
include commencing, appearing in, defending or otherwise participating in any
action or proceedings and paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any
claim, right, encumbrance, charge or lien with respect to the Demised Premises
that Landlord, in its discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to protect its
interest in the Demised Premises and under this Lease.

                13.1.2 Termination of Lease and Damages. In the event of a
Default by Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease, effective at such time as
may be specified by written notice to Tenant, and demand (and, if such demand is
refused, recover) possession of the Demised Premises from Tenant. Tenant shall
remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Basic Rent,
Additional Rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant hereunder
for the balance of the term, had this Lease not been terminated, less the net
proceeds, if any, of reletting of the Demised Premises by Landlord subsequent to
such termination, after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with
such recovery of possession or reletting. Landlord shall be entitled to collect
and receive such damages from Tenant on the days on which the Basic Rent,
Additional Rent and other amounts would have been payable if this Lease had not
been terminated. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover forthwith from Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain
and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum that, at the time of such termination of
this Lease, represents the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate of the Basic
Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder that would
have accrued for the balance of the Lease Term, over (b) the aggregate rental
value of the Demised Premises for the balance of the Lease Term, both discounted
to present worth at the then applicable federal rate.

                13.1.3 Repossession and Reletting. In the event of Default by
Tenant, Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, without demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Tenant
and any party claiming by, under or through Tenant, and remove the effects of
both, without breach of the peace, without being liable for prosecution on
account thereof or being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without
prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or right to bring any proceeding
for breach of covenants or conditions. No such reentry or taking possession of
the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord
to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to
Tenant. No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer
statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate
this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the
right, following any reentry or reletting, to exercise its right to terminate
this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which even the Lease will
terminate as specified in said notice. After recovering possession of the
Demised Premises, Landlord may, from time to time, but shall not be obligated
to, relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for the account of Tenant,
for such term or terms and on such conditions and upon such other terms as
Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determine. Landlord may make such
repairs, alterations or improvements as Landlord may consider appropriate to
accomplish such reletting, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for
all costs and expenses, including brokers' commissions and attorneys' fees, that
Landlord may incur in connection with such reletting. Landlord may collect and
receive the rents for such reletting but Landlord shall in no way be responsible
or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, or
for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Notwithstanding
Landlord's recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall continue
to pay on the dates herein specified, the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other
amounts that would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall refund
to Tenant any amount, without interest, by which the amounts paid by Tenant,
when added to the net amount, if any, recovered by Landlord through any
reletting of the Demised Premises, exceeds the amounts payable by Tenant under
this Lease. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends
beyond the

                                       21

<PAGE>

existing term, or the premises covered thereby include other premises not part
of the Demised Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such
reletting and the expenses incurred in connection therewith will be made in
determining the net amount recovered from such reletting.

                13.1.4 Security Interest. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord,
pursuant to Article 9 of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC"), a
security interest in all personal property and fixtures of Tenant now or
hereafter located on the Demised Premises as security for the performance of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees, upon request
by Landlord from time to time, to execute and deliver such financing statements
as may be necessary or desirable to perfect the security interest hereby
granted. In the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the rights and
remedies set forth in Article 9 of the Colorado UCC.

                13.1.5 Suits by Landlord. Actions or suits for the recovery of
amounts and damages payable under this Lease may be brought by Landlord from
time to time, at Landlord's election, and Landlord shall not be required to
await the date upon which the Lease Term would have expired to bring any such
action or suit.

                13.1.6 Recovery of Landlord Enforcement Costs. All costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting any amounts and
damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or to enforce
any provision of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or
not any action is commenced by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
upon demand.

                13.1.7 Administrative Late Charge. Other remedies for nonpayment
of rent notwithstanding, if the Monthly Rental, Monthly Deposit or Additional
Rent is not received by Landlord on or before the third day of the month for
which such rental or deposit is due, or if any other payment due Landlord by
Tenant is not received by Landlord on or before the last day of the month next
following the month in which Tenant was invoiced, a one-time administrative late
charge of five percent (5%) of such past due amount shall become immediately due
and payable in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease to help defray the
additional cost to Landlord for processing such late payments.

                13.1.8 Interest on Past-Due Payments and Advances. Tenant
covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord interest at the rate of twenty one
percent (21%) per annum, compounded on a monthly basis, on the amount of any
Basic Rent, Monthly Deposit, Additional Rent or other charges not paid when due,
from the date due and payable, and on the amount of any payment made by Landlord
required to have been made by Tenant under this Lease and on the amount of any
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paid by Landlord in
connection with the taking of any action to cure any Default by Tenant, from the
date of making any such payment or the advancement of such costs and expenses by
Landlord.

                13.1.9 Landlord's Bankruptcy Remedies. Nothing contained in this
Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as
liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization
or dissolution proceeding, an amount equal to the maximum allowable by any
statute or rule of law governing such proceeding in effect at the time when such
damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal or less
than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or rent, under this Lease.

         13.2 Remedies Cumulative. Exercise of any of the remedies of Landlord
under this Lease shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any
other remedy provided for in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at
law or in equity.

                           SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER

         14.1 Surrender upon Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, or on the date specified in any demand for possession by Landlord
after any Default by Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees to surrender possession
of the Demised Premises to Landlord broom clean, with all lighting, doors, and
electrical and mechanical systems (including, without limitation, all HVAC
facilities) in good working order and condition, all walls in clean condition
and holes or punctures in the walls repaired, and otherwise in the same
condition as when Tenant first occupied the Demised Premises, ordinary wear and
tear excepted.

         14.2 Holding Over. If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of
the Lease Term, without written agreement providing otherwise, Tenant shall be
deemed to be a Tenant at sufferance, at a monthly rental, payable in advance,
equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Monthly Rental, and Tenant shall be
bound by all of the other terms, covenants and agreements of this Lease,
including without limitation the obligation to pay Additional Rent. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to give Tenant the right to hold over at any
time, and Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to
recover possession of the Demised Premises, as well as any damages incurred by
Landlord, due to Tenant's failure to vacate the Demised Premises and deliver
possession to Landlord as herein provided.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         15.1 No Implied Waiver. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the
strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Lease,
no failure by Landlord to exercise any right or remedy under this Lease, and no
acceptance of full or partial payment during the continuance of any Default by
Tenant, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement, or a
waiver of any such right or remedy, or a waiver of any such Default by Tenant.

         15.2 Survival of Provisions. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Lease, the same shall continue in force and effect as to any provisions hereof
that require observance or performance by Landlord or Tenant subsequent to
termination.

         15.3 Covenants Independent. This Lease shall be construed as if the
Covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent, and not dependent,
and Tenant shall not be entitled to any offset against Landlord if Landlord
fails to perform its obligations under this Lease.

         15.4 Covenants as Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable
by Tenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

         15.5 Tenant's Remedies. Tenant may bring a separate action against
Landlord for any claim Tenant may have against Landlord under this Lease,
provided that Tenant shall first give written notice thereof to Landlord and
shall afford Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure any such default. In
addition, Tenant shall send notice of such default by certified or registered
mail, postage prepaid, to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Demised Premises, the Property or any portion thereof of whose address
Tenant has been notified in writing, and shall afford such holder a reasonable
opportunity to cure any default on Landlord's behalf. In no event will Landlord
be responsible for any incidental, consequential or special damages incurred by
Tenant, including, but not limited to, loss of profits or interruption of
business as a result of any default by Landlord hereunder.

         15.6 Binding Effect. This Lease shall extend to and be binding upon the
heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the
respective parties hereto. The terms, covenants, agreements and conditions in
this Lease shall be construed as covenants running with the Land.

         15.7 Short Form Lease. This Lease shall not be recorded, but Tenant
agrees, at the request of Landlord, to execute a short form lease for recording,

valid and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the affected
provision.

enforced according to the laws of the State of Colorado. Any action or

                            AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the ______ day of
________________, 20_____, among ____________________________ ("Landlord"),
whose address is c/o Flatiron Park Company, 5540 Central Avenue, Boulder, CO
80301, __________________________________ ("Tenant"), whose address is
__________________________________________, and ____________________________
("Lender"), whose address is ____________________________________________.

                                    RECITALS

         A. Landlord is the owner or the ground lessee of the real property
described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property").

         B. Pursuant to a certain Lease dated __________________, ________ (the
"Lease"), Landlord has leased to Tenant all or a portion of the Property.

         C. Financing for the Property is to be provided by a loan to be made by
Lender to Landlord (the "Loan"). The Loan will be secured, in part, by a Deed of
Trust (the "Deed of Trust") from Landlord to the Public Trustee of Boulder
County, Colorado, for the use and benefit of Lender.

         D. The parties wish to provide for subordination of the Lease to the
Deed of Trust, for the continuation of Tenant's right to occupy the Property so
long as no default exists under the Lease, notwithstanding any foreclosure of
the Deed of Trust, and for Tenant's attornment to any person or entity who may
acquire title to the Property upon or in lieu of foreclosure of the Deed of
Trust.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         1. Status of Lease. Tenant represents and warrants to Lender that the
Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Tenant. Landlord and
Tenant each represent and warrant to Lender that the Lease is in full force and
effect and has not been modified or amended in any way, and neither party to the
Lease is in default with respect to such party's obligations under the Lease as
of the date of this Agreement.

         2. Assignment of Landlord's Interest in Lease. Tenant acknowledges
that, pursuant to the Deed of Trust, Landlord has assigned all of the rights and
benefits (but none of the obligations) of Landlord under the Lease to Lender.
Upon notice from Lender that Lender has revoked its revocable waiver of Lender's
rights under the Deed of Trust, and until subsequent notice from Lender to the
contrary, Tenant shall pay all rent and other sums coming due under the Lease
directly to Lender or in accordance with Lender's instructions, notwithstanding
any contrary instruction that Tenant may receive from Landlord. Landlord hereby
expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments directly to Lender

Copyright 1999-2003 Flatiron Park Company
<PAGE>

and agrees that the rights of Tenant under the Lease will in no way be
prejudiced or impaired by reason of Tenant's compliance with any such notice
from Lender.

         3. Subordination of Lease. Tenant hereby subordinates the Lease, and
all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Property, to the Deed of
Trust and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, extensions,
substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations of the Deed of Trust. The lien
of the Deed of Trust shall, with respect to all amounts now or at any time
hereafter secured by such lien (including amounts in excess of the principal
face amount of the Note referred to in the Deed of Trust) be senior and superior
in all respects to any interest of Tenant in the Property.

         4. Non-Disturbance. Lender agrees that so long as Tenant is not in
default under the Lease and no right exists under the terms of the Lease whereby
the owner of the Property is entitled to terminate the Lease, the Lease will not
be terminated, and Tenant will not be disturbed in its possession of the
Property, by or as a result of any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or any
conveyance in lieu of any such foreclosure. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent Lender from giving any notice to Tenant required by law in connection
with any such foreclosure, or joining Tenant as a party in any judicial
foreclosure action, but no such notice and no such joinder shall have any effect
inconsistent with the first sentence of this paragraph.

         5. Attornment. Tenant shall attorn to, and recognize as Tenant's
landlord under the Lease, Lender or any other person who may acquire title to
the Property upon foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or by conveyance in lieu of
such foreclosure. The provisions of this paragraph shall be self-executing and
no further writing or other formal act of attornment shall be required, but
Tenant shall, upon the request of any person so acquiring title to the Property,
execute and deliver to such person an instrument in recordable form
acknowledging such attornment, but not otherwise modifying or amending Tenant's
obligations under the Lease. From and after any such attornment, Lender or any
other person who may acquire title to the Property upon or in lieu of a
foreclosure of the Deed of Trust shall be bound to Tenant under all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that Lender or
such other person shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior
landlord (including Landlord); (b) bound by Tenant's payment to any prior
landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease of any rents beyond that due for
the then-current rent period; (c) liable for the return or application of any
security deposits unless Landlord delivers such deposits to Lender or such other
person; (d) bound by any amendment or modification to the Lease made without
Lender's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or
(e) subject to any offsets or deficiencies that Tenant might be entitled to
assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord).

         6. Notice and Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall not commence any action against Landlord
or otherwise pursue any right or remedy against Landlord in consequence of a
default by Landlord under the terms and provisions of the Lease unless written
notice of such default is given to Lender. Tenant further agrees that Lender
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure such default on behalf
of Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice. Tenant further
agrees not to invoke any of its remedies under the Lease (except in the case of
emergency repairs) unless such default shall remain uncured at the expiration of
the thirty (30) day period after such notice of default is given to Lender, or
if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period,
unless the cure of such default is not commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter prosecuted diligently to completion. In addition to such
notice and cure rights, Tenant agrees that if the Event of Default is one that
Lender cannot reasonably cure, such Event of Default shall be considered
excused.

         7. Casualty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be
contained in the Lease, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
apply any insurance proceeds received as a result of any casualty to the
Property to reduce the mortgage or debt owed to Lender.

         8. Responsibility. Neither this Agreement nor the Deed of Trust shall,
prior to Lender's succession to Landlord's interest in the Property, through
foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or a possessory action, operate
to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the
Property upon Lender, or impose upon Lender any responsibility for the
performance of the terms and conditions of the Lease.

         9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed given upon personal delivery, or
on the third business day after mailing by registered or certified United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the appropriate party at such party's address set
forth on the first page of this Agreement. Any party may change such party's
address for future notices by notice to the other parties in accordance with
this paragraph.

         10. Real Covenants; Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be real covenants running with title to the Property and to the
leasehold estate created by the Lease, and shall bind and benefit the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

         11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first set forth above.

sublease will require the consent of Landlord pursuant to the Lease. Any
subsequent assignment or sublease of the Lease shall also require the consent of
Assignor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Assignor hereby
consents to any subsequent assignment or sublease of the Lease provided Assignor
is given fifteen (15) days notice of such assignment or sublease and does not

shortfall in additional rent that is owing to Landlord shall be paid by Assignee
within fifteen (15) days after such reconciliation is transmitted to Assignee,
and any overpayment that is owing by Landlord shall be paid to Assignee at the
time such reconciliation is transmitted. Any adjustment or proration between
Assignor and Assignee with respect to said additional rent reconciliation shall
be the responsibility of Assignor and Assignee, not Landlord.

         10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of
Landlord, Assignor, and Assignee with respect to the subject matter contained

	 	     (a) Subsequent Offering Periods. Any Eligible Employee on a given
Offering Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

		
	 	     (b) Limitations. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan
(i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or
any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee
pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company
and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent
(5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the
capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that
his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of
the Company and its subsidiaries accrues at a rate that

3

 

		
	 	exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined
at the Fair Market Value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for
each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.

     4.     Offering Periods. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive,
overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first
Trading Day on or after May 1st and November 1st each year, or on such other
date as the Board shall determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated
in accordance with Section 21 hereof. The Board shall have the power to change
the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof)
with respect to future offerings without shareholder approval if such change is
announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be
affected thereafter.

     5.     Subsequent Offering Periods. An Eligible Employee may become a
participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing
payroll deductions in the form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the
Company’s Stock Administration Department prior to the applicable Offering
Date.

     6.     Payroll Deductions.

		
	 	     (a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he
or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the
Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10% of the Compensation that he or
she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period; provided, however,
that should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a participant shall have the
payroll deductions made on such day applied to his or her account under the new
Offering Period or Purchase Period, as the case may be. A participant’s
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 11 hereof.
	 
	 	     (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
payday following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payday in the
Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 11 hereof.
	 
	 	     (c) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his
or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole percentages only.
A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.
	 
	 	     (d) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as
provided in Section 11 hereof, or decrease the rate of his or her payroll
deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company
a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. A
participant may increase his or her rate of payroll deductions only for a
subsequent Offering Period in which he or she is scheduled to participate and
may not increase his or her rate of payroll deductions during an outstanding
Offering Period in which such participant is currently participating. The
Administrator may, in its discretion, limit the nature and/or number of
participation rate changes during any Offering Period. Any decrease in rate
shall be effective fifteen (15) days following the Company’s receipt of the
notification.

4

 

		
	 	     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, the Administrator may
decrease a participant’s payroll deductions to zero percent (0%) at any time
during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant’s subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Purchase Period that is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 11 hereof.
	 
	 	     (f) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the
time some or all of the Company’s Common Stock issued under the Plan is
disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any
time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the
participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make
available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or
early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.

     7.     Grant of Option. On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each
Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an
option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the
applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common
Stock determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that
in no event shall an Eligible Employee be permitted to purchase during each
Purchase Period more than 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject
to any adjustment pursuant to Section 20 hereof), and provided further that
such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b) and
other sections of the Plan that may limit such number. The Eligible Employee
may accept the grant of such option by turning in a completed Subscription
Agreement to the Company on or prior to an Offering Date. The Administrator
may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute
discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock an
Eligible Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such Offering
Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 9 hereof,
unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 11 hereof. The option
shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

     8.     Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period. To the extent
permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules, if the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering
Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering
Date of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering Period
shall be automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after
the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically
re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period.

5

 

     9.     Exercise of Option.

		
	 	     (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 11
hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised
automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares
subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable
Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account.
No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in
a participant’s account that are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall
be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Purchase Period or
Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided
in Section 11 hereof. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account
after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a
participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is
exercisable only by him or her.
	 
	 	     (b) If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the
number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the
Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number
of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the
Administrator may in its sole discretion (1) provide that the Company shall
make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase
on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner
as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be
equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on
such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (2)
provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares
available for purchase on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable,
in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its
sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to
purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering
Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 21 hereof. The Company may make pro
rata allocation of the shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable
Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any
authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s
shareholders subsequent to such Offering Date.

     10.     Delivery. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date
on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to
each participant the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a
form determined by the Administrator.

     11.     Withdrawal.

		
	 	     (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll
deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or
her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company.
All of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account
shall be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of
withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period shall be
automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of
shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from
an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not

6

 

		
	 	resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the
participant delivers to the Company a new Subscription Agreement.

		
	 	     (b) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any
effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may
hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods that
commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the
participant withdraws.

     12.     Termination of Employment. In the event a participant ceases to be an
Eligible Employee prior to the Exercise Date of the Offering Period in question
for any reason, including retirement or death, the payroll deductions credited
to the participant’s account will be returned to the participant, or in the
case of the participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto
pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan, and the participant’s option will
automatically terminate.

     13.     Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in the Plan.

     14.     Stock.

		
	 	     (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as
provided in Section 20 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be
17,700,000.

		
	 	     (b) Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), a participant shall only have the rights of an unsecured creditor
with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to such shares.

		
	 	     (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be
registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and
his or her spouse.

     15.     Administration. The Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall
have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and
apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all
disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Administrator shall, to the full extent permitted by
law, be final and binding upon all parties.

     16.     Designation of Beneficiary.

		
	 	     (a) Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, a participant may file
a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash,
if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such
participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is
exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash.
In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the
event of such participant’s death prior to

7

 

		
	 	exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated
beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such
designation to be effective.

		
	 	     (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at
the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares
and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant,
or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of
the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or
cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the
participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company,
then to such other person as the Company may designate.

		
	 	     (c) All beneficiary designations shall be in such form and manner as the
Administrator may designate from time to time.

     17.     Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option
or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution, or as provided in Section 16 hereof) by the participant. Any
such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be
without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to
withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 11 hereof.

     18.     Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company
under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the
Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. Until
shares are issued, participants shall only have the rights of an unsecured
creditor.

     19.     Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant
in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Eligible
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

     20.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation,
Merger or Change of Control.

		
	 	     (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan, the maximum
number of shares each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant
to Section 7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan that have not yet been
exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or any other change in the number of shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to

8

 

		
	 	have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment
shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall
be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an option.

		
	 	     (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be
shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or
liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise
Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or
liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that the participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the
Offering Period as provided in Section 11 hereof.

		
	 	     (c) Merger or Change of Control. In the event of a merger or Change of
Control, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the
successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to
assume or substitute for the option, any Purchase Periods then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and any Offering Periods then
in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be
before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change of Control. The
Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10)
business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the
participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering
Period as provided in Section 11 hereof.

     21.     Amendment or Termination.

		
	 	     (a) The Administrator may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no such termination
can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be
terminated by the Administrator on any Exercise Date if the Administrator
determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as provided in
Section 20 and this Section 21 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any
option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or
stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.

		
	 	     (b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the
Administrator shall be entitled to

9

 

		
	 	change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes
in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio
applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit
payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in
order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly
completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment
periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts
applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly
correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and
establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines
in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

		
	 	     (c) In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation
of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the
Board may, in its discretion and to the extent necessary or desirable, modify
or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including,
but not limited to:

		
	 	     (i) increasing the Purchase Price for any Offering Period, including an
Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

		
	 	     (ii) shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends on a new
Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Board
action; and

		
	 	     (iii) allocating shares.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the
consent of any Plan participants.

     22.     Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the
Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the
location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

     23.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with
respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and
delivery of such shares pursuant thereto comply with all applicable provisions
of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject
to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

     As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the
person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without
any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

10

 

     24.     Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect until terminated
under Section 21 hereof.
