                               STANDARD AGREEMENT

     This Lease, dated February 2, 2000, between SHOREBREEZE ASSOCIATES, LLC, a
Delaware' limited liability company ("Landlord") and INVENTA CORPORATION, a

Suites 103, 200 and 300, Redwood City, California (the "Premises") and, which
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree consists of approximately forty-three thousand
six hundred ninety-three (43,693) square feet.  The Premises shall be delivered
to the Tenant in three phases, the "Phase 1 Space" is that certain space
commonly known as Suite 103, consisting of approximately four thousand three
hundred thirty-four (4,334) square feet as shown on Exhibit A.  The "Phase 2

shown on Exhibit A.  The "Phase 3 Space" is that portion of the Premises located
on the second floor consisting of approximately twenty thousand two hundred
forty-five (20,245) square feet as shown on Exhibit A.  As used herein the term
"Project" shall mean and include all of the land as shown on Exhibit B and all
the buildings, improvements, fixtures and equipment now or hereafter situated on
said land.

          (b) Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration of this
Lease, to perform and observe each and all of the terms, covenants and
conditions set forth below, and this Lease is made upon the condition of such
performance and observance.

     2.   TERM, COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS

          (a) Subject to paragraph 2(b) and 2(c) below, the term of this Lease
shall commence on the date that Landlord tenders possession of the Phase 1 Space
to Tenant (the "Lease Commencement Date"), and, unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided, shall end on the date that is seven (7) years after the
date that Landlord tenders possession of the Phase 2 Space to Tenant (the "Lease
Expiration Date").  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to tender
possession of the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the following schedule:
(1) deliver the Phase 1

                                       1
<PAGE>

Space on or before March 1, 2000 (the "Phase 1 Delivery Date"); (2) deliver the
Phase 2 Space on or before May 1, 2000 (the "Phase 2 Delivery Date"); and (3)
deliver the Phase 3 Space on or before April 1, 2001 (the "Phase 3 Delivery
Date").  Tenant understands that the Phase 1 Space is currently occupied under a
lease which does not expire until February 28, 2000, the Phase 2 Space is
currently occupied under a lease which does not expire until July 31, 2000 and
the Phase 3 Space is currently occupied under a lease which does not expire
until March 31, 2001 and delivery of the spaces in accordance with the above
schedule is subject to vacation of such spaces by the current occupants and in
the case of the Phase 2 Space will require early termination of the current
tenant's lease.  The period commencing on the Lease Commencement Date to the
Phase 2 Delivery Date is referred to herein as "Phase 1".  The period commencing
on the Phase 2 Delivery Date to the Phase 3 Delivery Date is referred to herein
as "Phase 2".  The period commencing on the Phase 3 Delivery Date to the Lease
Expiration Date is referred to herein as "Phase 3".

          (b) If Landlord for any reason cannot deliver possession of the Phase
1 Space to Tenant by the scheduled Lease Commencement Date, this Lease shall not
be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or
damage on account thereof and, unless Landlord's failure to deliver possession
of the Phase 1 Space to Tenant by the scheduled Lease Commencement Date is
caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant caused delays, Tenant shall
not be liable for rent until Landlord tenders possession of the Phase 1 Space to
Tenant.  The expiration date of the lease term shall be adjusted by the same
number of days that the Phase 2 Delivery Date was advanced or delayed from the
scheduled Phase 2 Delivery Date.  If the actual Phase 2 Delivery Date is a date
other than the scheduled Phase 2 Delivery Date, then the parties shall
immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating (or a letter
acknowledging) the Phase 2 Delivery Date.

          (c) Tenant's inability or failure to take possession of the Phase 1
Space when delivery is tendered by Landlord shall not delay the commencement of
the term of this Lease or Tenant's obligation to pay rent.  Tenant acknowledges
that Landlord shall incur significant expenses upon the execution of this Lease,
even if Tenant never takes possession of the Premises, including without
limitation brokerage commissions and fees, legal fees and other professional
fees.  Tenant acknowledges that all of said expenses shall be included in
measuring Landlord's damages should Tenant breach the terms of this Lease.

          (b) During December of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as

amounts payable under paragraph 4(a) above for the ensuing calendar year.  On or
before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts; provided
that, if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on
the basis of the prior year's estimate until the month after such notice is
given.  If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that the amounts payable
under paragraph 4(a) above for the current calendar year will vary substantially
from its estimate, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its
estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be
based upon such revised estimate.

          (c) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year or

Tenant a statement of amounts payable under paragraph 4 (a) above for such
calendar year.  If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less
than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by

                                       6
<PAGE>

Tenant, the excess amount shall be credited by Landlord against the Base Rent
next due from Tenant.  If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is
more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after delivery of the statement.  Upon written request of Tenant made within
sixty (60) days of Tenant's receipt of the annual statement of actual direct
expenses, Landlord shall make available for Tenant's review, at Tenant's cost,
copies of documentation reasonably available to Landlord to support the amounts
set forth in such statement.

          (d) If, for any reason other than the default of Tenant, this Lease
shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount
of increase (if any) in rental payable by Tenant applicable to the calendar year
in which such termination shall occur shall be prorated based on the ratio of
the number of days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including
such termination date to three hundred and sixty-five (365).

          (e) If the occupancy of the Project, during any part of any calendar
year (including the Base Year) is less than one hundred percent (100%), Landlord
shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating
Expenses for that Expense Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound
accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating
Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been one hundred percent
(100%) occupied.  This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of
Operating Expenses for that Expense Year.  For purposes of this subparagraph
4(e), "variable components" include only those component expenses that are
affected by variations in occupancy levels.

     5.   USE

          The Premises shall be used for general office purposes and Tenant
shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose.  Tenant
shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises, nor bring or keep or
permit to be brought or kept therein, anything (i) which is prohibited by or
will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule
or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, or
(ii) which is prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy, or (iii)
which will in any way increase the existing rate or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the Project or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of
any insurance policy covering the Project or any part thereof or any of its
contents.  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other
tenants of the Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to
be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall
Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises or

trash containers placed inside exterior enclosures designated for that purpose
by Landlord, or where otherwise designated by Landlord; and no toxic or
hazardous materials shall be disposed of through the plumbing or sewage system
in violation of law.  No materials, supplies, equipment, finished products or
semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature shall be stored
or permitted to remain outside of the building proper.  No retail sales shall be
made on the Premises.

     6.   UTILITIES AND SERVICES

          (a) Landlord shall furnish the Premises with (i) electricity for
lighting and the operation of office machines, (ii) heat and air conditioning
from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays,
reasonably required for the comfortable occupation of the Premises, (iii)
elevator service, (iv) lighting replacement (for building standard lights), (v)
restroom supplies, (vi) window washing with reasonable frequency, and (vii)
janitorial service, all during the times and in the manner that such services
are customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in the area as
reasonably determined by Landlord. The cost of all utilities and services
provided by Landlord to the Premises and to the Project shall be included in
Operating Expenses.  Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for
any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the rental herein
reserved be abated by reason of (A) the installation, use or interruption of use
of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing
services, (B) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such services when
such failure or delay is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes,
character, governmental moratoriums, regulations or other governmental actions,
or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, or (C) the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises
or to the Project, or (D) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction
on use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the
Premises or the Project.  Landlord shall use

                                       8
<PAGE>

reasonable efforts diligently to remedy any interruption in the furnishing of
such services.

          (b) Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any
apparatus or device in the Premises (including, without limitation, electronic
data processing machines, punch card machines or machines using current in
excess of 110 volts) which will in any way increase the amount of electricity,
water or air conditioning usually furnished or supplied to premises in the
Project being used as general office space, or connect with electric current
(except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) or with water pipes
any apparatus or device for the purpose of using electric current or water.  If
Tenant shall require water or electric current in excess of that usually
furnished or supplied to premises in the Project being used as general office
space, then Tenant shall first obtain the written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
promptly on demand the full cost of such excess use.  Landlord may cause an
electric current or water meter to be installed in the Premises in order to
measure the amount of electric current or water consumed for any such excess
use.  The cost of any such meter and of the installation, maintenance and repair
thereof, and all charges for such excess water and electric current consumed (as
shown by meters and at the rates then charged by the furnishing public utility)
plus any additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping account of electric
current or water so consumed, shall be paid by Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord therefor promptly upon demand by Landlord.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that any
law, ordinance or other governmental regulation now or hereafter in effect shall
impose a limit on the allocation to the Project of any utility or other service,
whether or not the same is to be supplied to the Premises by Landlord under this
paragraph 6, then Tenant shall not use or cause to be consumed on the Premises,
nor shall Landlord be required to provide to the Premises hereunder, such
utility or other service in an amount or in a manner which would result in the
violation by Landlord or Tenant of such law, ordinance or regulation.

     7.   TAXES

          The term "Real Property Taxes" as used herein means all real and
personal property taxes and assessments incurred (on an accrual basis) during
any calendar year, including, but not limited to: special and extraordinary
assessments; water and sewer rates and charges, occupancy taxes or similar taxes
imposed on or with respect to the real or personal property whether or not
imposed on or measured by the rent payable by Tenant; and other governmental
levies and charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen
as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever relating to the real or
personal property.  If,

                                       9
<PAGE>

by law, any property taxes are payable, or may at the opt{on of the taxpayer be
paid, in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid
balance of such property taxes), Landlord may, at Landlord's option, pay the
same and, in such event, any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such
property taxes shall be deemed to be Real Property Taxes as defined herein.
Real Property Taxes shall also include all expenses reasonably incurred by
Landlord in seeking a reduction by the taxing authorities of Real Property Taxes
applicable to the Project.  Real Property Taxes shall not include any capital
levy, franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, gift or transfer tax of
Landlord, or any income, profits or excess profits tax, assessment, charge or
levy upon the income of Landlord; provided, however, that if at any time during
the term of this Lease under the laws of the United States or the State of
California or any political subdivision of either, a tax or excise on rents,
space or other aspects of real property, is levied or assessed against Landlord,
the same shall be deemed to be Real Property Taxes.  If any such property taxes
upon the income of Landlord shall be imposed on a graduated scale, based upon
Landlord's aggregate rental income, Real Property Taxes shall include only such
portion of such property taxes as would be payable if the rent payable with
respect to the Project were the only rental income of Landlord subject thereto.
Real Property Taxes for any year being used as a base year or comparison year
shall be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the substantial completion of
partitioning and other normal tenant improvements in all leasable areas of the
Project, and to reflect at least 100% occupancy of the leasable area of the
Project.

          In addition to the monthly rental and other charges to be paid by
Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay, or shall reimburse Landlord upon demand if
payable by Landlord, for any and all taxes whether or not now customary or
within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) upon, measured by or
reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or by the cost or
value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant,
other than building standard tenant improvements made by Landlord, regardless of
whether title to such improvements shall be in Tenant or Landlord; (b) upon or
measured by the monthly rental payable hereunder, including without limitation,
any gross income tax, rental tax, business tax, license or excise tax with
respect to such rental; (c) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by
Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; (d) upon this transaction or any
document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an
estate in the Premises.  In the event that it shall not be lawful for Tenant so
to reimburse Landlord, the monthly rental payable to Landlord under this Lease
shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rental after the imposition of any
such tax upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the
imposition of any such tax.

                                      10
<PAGE>

     8.   ALTERATIONS

          Tenant shall not make or cause to be made any alteration, addition or
improvement to or of the Premises or any part thereof (collectively referred to
herein as "alterations") without (i) the prior written consent of Landlord, (ii)
a valid building permit issued by the appropriate governmental authority and
(iii) otherwise complying with all applicable laws, regulations and requirements
of governmental agencies having jurisdiction and with the rules, regulations and
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or similar body.  Landlord's
consent to any requested alteration shall not create on the part of Landlord or
cause Landlord to incur any responsibility or liability for such alteration's
compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of federal, state, county,
municipal and other governmental authorities.  Any alteration made by Tenant
(excluding moveable furniture and trade fixtures not attached to the Premises)
shall at once become a part of the Premises and belong to Landlord.  Without
limiting the foregoing, all heating, lighting, electrical (including all wiring,
conduit, outlets, drops, buss ducts, main and subpanels), air conditioning,
partitioning, drapery, window covering and carpet installations made by Tenant,
regardless of how attached to the Premises, shall be and become part of the
Premises and belong to Landlord upon installation and shall not be deemed trade
fixtures and, subject to Landlord's right to require removal and restoration as
specified herein, shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
termination of the lease.

          If Landlord consents to the making of any alteration by Tenant, the
same shall be made by Tenant at its sole risk, cost and expense and only after
Landlord's written approval of any contractor or person selected by Tenant for
that purpose, and the same shall be made at such time and in such manner as
Landlord may from time to time designate.  Tenant shall, if required by
Landlord, secure at Tenant's cost a completion and lien indemnity bond for such
work.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term, Landlord may, at
its sole option, require Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to promptly
remove any such alteration made by Tenant and designated by Landlord to be
removed, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal and restore
the Premises to their condition prior to Tenant's alteration.  Upon the prior
written request of Tenant, concurrent with giving Landlord's consent (if such
consent is given), Landlord shall state in writing if Landlord will not require
the removal of such alteration upon the expiration of term.  Any moveable
furniture and equipment or trade fixtures remaining on the Premises at the
expiration or other termination of the term shall become the property of the
Landlord; provided, however, in addition to all other remedies available to
Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may (i) require Tenant to remove same or
(ii) remove same at Tenant's cost, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for
all damages incurred by Landlord related thereto.

                                      11
<PAGE>

          If during the term any alteration, addition or change of the Premises
is required by law, regulation, ordinance or order of any public authority,
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly make the same.  If during
the term any alterations, additions or changes to the Common Area or to the
Project or to the building in which the Premises is located is required by law,
regulation, ordinance or order of any public or quasi-public authority, and, in
Landlord's judgment, it is impracticable for the tenants of the Project to
individually make such alterations, additions or changes, Landlord shall make
such alterations, additions or changes and the cost thereof shall be included in
Operating Expenses.

     9.   LIENS

          Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Project free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred
by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors.  Upon Tenant's receipt of a
preliminary twenty (20) day notice filed by a claimant pursuant to California
Civil Code Section 3097, Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with a copy
of such notice.  Should any lien be recorded against the Project, Tenant shall
give immediate notice of such lien to Landlord.  In the event that Tenant shall
not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of such lien, cause the same
to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies
provided herein and by law, the right, but no obligation, to cause the same to
be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the
claim giving rise to such lien.  All sums paid by Landlord for such purpose, and
all expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by it in connection therewith,
shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever
is less.  Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on
the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or which Landlord shall
deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises and the Project and any
other party having an interest therein, from mechanics' and materialmen's liens
and like liens.  Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days' prior
notice of the date of commencement of any construction on the Premises in order
to permit the posting of such notices.  In the event Tenant is required to post
an improvement bond with a public agency in connection with any work performed
by Tenant on or to the Premises, Tenant shall include Landlord as an additional
obligee.

     10.  REPAIRS

          (a) Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall maintain the public and
              ----------------------
common areas of the Project, including lobbies, stairs, elevators, corridors and
restrooms, the windows, glazing, gutters, walls, floor coverings, roofs, the
mechanical, plumbing, sewage and electrical systems, heating, ventilating and
air conditioning

                                      12
<PAGE>

systems (excepting special HVAC to computer rooms for Tenant, if any) serving
the Project, and the structural elements of the buildings on the Project in
reasonably good order and condition except for damage occasioned by the act of
Tenant, which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant's expense.  The
cost of all maintenance and repairs made by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph
10, including without limitation maintenance contracts and supplies, materials,
equipment and tools used in such repairs and maintenance, shall be included in
Operating Expenses.

          (b) Tenant's Obligations. By entry hereunder Tenant accepts the
              --------------------
Premises as being in the condition in which Landlord is obligated to deliver the
Premises.  Tenant shall, at all times during the term hereof and at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof in good
condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, damage thereto by fire, earthquake
and acts of God excepted.  Tenant hereby waives all rights to make repairs at
the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided by
California Civil Code Section 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.  Tenant shall at the end of the term hereof surrender to
Landlord the Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto in
the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire,
earthquake and acts of God excepted.  Landlord has no obligation and has made no
promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair decorate or paint the Premises or any
part thereof, except as specifically herein set forth.  No representations
respecting the condition of the Premises or the Project have been made by
Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically herein set forth.

     11.  INSURANCE

          Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep in force during the
term (i) commercial general liability and property damage insurance with a
combined single limit of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence insuring against
personal or bodily injury to or death of persons occurring in, on or about the
Premises or Project and any and all liability of the insureds with respect to
the Premises or arising out of Tenant's maintenance, use or occupancy of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto, (ii) direct physical loss-special
insurance covering the leasehold improvements in the Premises and all of
Tenant's equipment, trade fixtures, appliances, furniture, furnishings, and
personal property from time to time located in, on or about the Premises, with
coverage in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, and (iii) Worker's
Compensation Insurance as required by law, together with employer's liability
coverage with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 for bodily injury for each
accident and for bodily injury by disease for each employee.  Tenant's
commercial general liability and property damage insurance and Tenant's Workers
Compensation Insurance shall be endorsed to provide that said insurance shall
not be cancelled or reduced except upon at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord.  Further,

                                      13
<PAGE>

Tenant's commercial general liability and property damage insurance shall be
primary and shall be endorsed to provide that Landlord and its partners,
officers, directors and employees and such other persons or entities (including
property management companies) as directed from time to time by Landlord shall
be named as additional insureds for all liability using ISO Bureau Form
CG20111185 (or a successor form) or such other endorsement form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord; shall contain a severability of interest clause and a
cross-liability endorsement; shall be endorsed to provide that the limits and
aggregates apply per location using ISO Bureau Form CG25041185 (or a successor
form) or such other endorsement form reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and
shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the
State of California and rated A+VIII or better in Best's Insurance Reports (or
successor report).  The deductibles for all insurance required to be maintained
by Tenant hereunder shall be satisfactory to Landlord.  The commercial general
liability insurance carried by Tenant shall specifically insure the performance
by Tenant of the indemnification provisions set forth in paragraph 13 of this
Lease provided, however, nothing contained in this paragraph 11 shall be
construed to limit the liability of Tenant under the indemnification provisions
set forth in said paragraph 13.  If Landlord or any of the additional insureds
named on any of Tenant's insurance, have other insurance which is applicable to
the covered loss on a contributing, excess or contingent basis, the amount of
the Tenant's insurance company's liability under the policy of insurance
maintained by Tenant shall not be reduced by the existence of such other
insurance.  Any insurance carried by Landlord or any of the additional insureds
named on Tenant's insurance policies shall be excess and non-contributing with
the insurance so provided by Tenant.

          Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the term and at least
thirty (30) days prior to any renewal date of any insurance policy required to
be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph, provide Landlord with a
completed Certificate of Insurance, using a form acceptable in Landlord's
reasonable judgement, attaching thereto copies of all endorsements required to
be provided by Tenant under this Lease.  Tenant agrees to increase the coverage
or otherwise comply with changes in connection with said commercial general
liability, property damage, direct physical loss and Worker's Compensation
Insurance as Landlord or Landlord's lender may from time to time require.

          Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Project, in the amount of
the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils
included within the classification of "all risk" insurance, with increased cost
of reconstruction and contingent liability (including demolition), plus a policy
of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of twelve
(12) months' rent (including sums paid as additional rent) and such other
insurance as Landlord or

                                      14
<PAGE>

Landlord's lender may from time to time require.  Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, obtain flood and/or earthquake insurance.  Landlord shall have no
liability to Tenant if Landlord elects not to obtain flood and/or earthquake
insurance.  The cost of all such insurance obtained by Landlord, plus any
charges for deferred payments of premiums and the amount of any deductible
incurred upon any covered loss within the Project shall be included in Operating
Expenses.  If the cost of insurance is increased due to Tenant's use of the
Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full cost of such
increase.

          Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any and all rights of
recovery against one another for real or personal property loss or damage
occurring to the Premises or the Project, or any part thereof, or to any
personal property therein, from perils insured against under fire and extended
insurance and any other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of
the respective parties.  Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and their
respective agents, employees, successors, assignees and sublessees from all
liability for injury to any person or damage to any property that is caused by
or results from a risk which is actually insured against or which is required to
be insured against under this Lease.  All of Landlord's and Tenant's repair and
indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the waiver and
release contained in this paragraph.

          If Tenant does not take out and maintain insurance as required
pursuant to this paragraph 11, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take
out the necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor, and Tenant shall repay
to Landlord promptly on demand, as additional rent, the amount so paid.  In
addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as
additional rent, any and all reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) and
damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of the failure of Tenant to obtain
and maintain such insurance, it being expressly declared that the expenses and
damages of Landlord shall not be limited to the amount of the premiums thereon.

     12.  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

          (a) In the event the Premises are damaged by any casualty which is
covered under an insurance policy required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant
to paragraph 11, Landlord shall be entitled to the use of all insurance proceeds
and shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.

          (b) In the event the Premises are damaged by any casualty not covered
under an insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to paragraph 11,
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either (i) repair such damage, at Landlord's
expense, as soon as reasonably possible, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice to

                                      15
<PAGE>

Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of the occurrence of such damages
of Landlord's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the
occurrence of the damages; provided, however, that, if such damage is caused by
an act or omission of Tenant or its agent, servants or employees, then Tenant
shall repair such damage promptly at its sole cost and expense.  In the event
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant hereto, Tenant shall have the
right within ten (10) days after receipt of the required notice to notify
Landlord in writing of Tenant's intention to repair such damage at Tenant's
expense, without reimbursement from Landlord, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to make such repairs
as soon as reasonably possible.  If Tenant does not give such notice within the
ten (10) day period, this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date
of the occurrence of such damage.  Under no circumstances shall Landlord be
required to repair any injury or damage to (by fire or other cause), or to make
any restoration or replacement of, any of Tenant's personal property, trade
fixtures or property leased from third parties, whether or not the same is
attached to the Premises.

          (c) If the Premises are totally destroyed during the term from any
cause (including any destruction required by any authorized public authority),
whether or not covered by the insurance required under paragraph 11, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction;
provided, however, that if the Premises can reasonably and lawfully be repaired
or restored within nine (9) months of the date of destruction to substantially
the condition existing prior to such destruction and if the proceeds of the
insurance payable to the Landlord by reason of such destruction are sufficient
to pay the cost of such repair or restoration, then said insurance proceeds
shall be so applied, Landlord shall promptly repair and restore the Premises and
this Lease shall continue, without interruption, in full force and effect.  If
the Premises are totally destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the
term, either Landlord or Tenant may at its option cancel and terminate this
Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to
the other of its election to do so within thirty (30) days after the occurrence
of such damage.

          (d) If the Premises are partially or totally destroyed or damaged and
Landlord or Tenant repair them pursuant to this Lease, the rent payable
hereunder for the period during which such damage and repair continues shall be
abated only in proportion to the square footage of the Premises rendered
untenantable to Tenant by such damage or destruction.  Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for any damage, loss or expense suffered by reason of any
such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.  The parties waive the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) (which
provisions permit the termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased
premises), and hereby agree that the

                                      16
<PAGE>

provisions of this paragraph 12 shall govern in the event of such destruction.

     13.  INDEMNIFICATION

          Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all
claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or damage to or
destruction of property in or about the Premises or the Project by or from any
cause whatsoever except (i) the failure of Landlord to perform its obligations
under this Lease where such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of
time after notice of such failure or (ii) Landlord's negligence or willful
misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any injury to, or death of any person or damages to or destruction of
property by reason of, or arising from, any latent defect in the Premises or
Project or the act or negligence of any other tenant of the Project.  Tenant
shall immediately notify Landlord of any defect in the Premises or Project.

          Except to the extent caused by (i) the failure by Landlord to observe
any of the terms and conditions of this Lease or (ii) Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and
indemnify and defend Landlord against any claim, liability, loss, damage or
expense (including attorney fees) arising out of any injury to or death of any
person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in or on the Premises
from any cause whatsoever or on account of the use, condition, occupational
safety or occupancy of the Premises.  Tenant shall further hold Landlord
harmless from and indemnify and defend Landlord against any liability, loss,
damage or expense (including attorney fees) arising (i) from Tenant's use of the
Premises or from the conduct of its business or from any activity or work done,
permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents or employees in or about the
Premises or Project, (ii) out of the failure of Tenant to observe or comply with
laws or other requirements as set forth in paragraph 14, (iii) by reason of
Tenant's use, handling, storage, or disposal of toxic or hazardous materials or
waste, (iv) by reason of any labor or service performed for, or materials used
by or furnished to, Tenant or any contractor engaged by Tenant with respect to
the Premises, or (v) from any other act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or
its agents or employees.

          The provisions of this paragraph 13 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.

     14.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

          Tenant shall, in connection with its use and occupation of the
Premises, at its sole cost and expense, promptly observe and comply with (i) all
laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and requirements
of federal, state, county,

                                      17
<PAGE>

municipal and other governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, which
shall impose any duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to Tenant's
particular use, occupancy or alteration of the Premises, (ii) with the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or
hereafter constituted and (iii) with any direction or occupancy certificate
issued pursuant to law by any public authority; provided, however, that no such
failure shall be deemed a breach of these provisions if Tenant, immediately upon
notification, commences to remedy or rectify said failure.  The judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against
Tenant (whether or not Landlord is a party thereto), that Tenant has violated
any such law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, requirement,
direction or provision, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and
Tenant.  This Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
loss of use or other effect on Tenant's enjoyment of the Premises by reason of
any governmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements
now or hereafter in effect.

     15.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

          Tenant shall not voluntarily assign, encumber or otherwise transfer
its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of
the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any
part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and otherwise complying with the
requirements of this paragraph 15.  Any assignment, encumbrance, sublease or
other such transfer ("Transfer") without Landlord's written consent, shall
constitute a default.  The proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee is
referred to herein as the "Transferee".  Reasonable grounds for denying consent
to a proposed Transfer include, without limitation, any of the following:

          (a) Transferee's character, reputation, credit history, or business is
not consistent with the character or quality of the Project;

          (b) In the case of an assignment, Transferee would be a significantly
less prestigious occupant of the Project than Tenant;

          (c) Transferee is a government agency or instrumentality of one,
consulate, school or credit collection agency;

          (d) Transferee's intended use of the Premises is inconsistent with the
permitted use specified in this Lease or will materially and adversely affect
Landlord's interest;

          (e) Transferee's financial condition is or may be inadequate to
support the lease obligations of Transferee under the

                                      18
<PAGE>

Transfer; and with respect to any assignment, that Transferee's net worth is
less than $200,000,000;

          (f) The Transfer would cause Landlord to violate another lease or
agreement to which Landlord is a party or would give another tenant in the
Project the right to cancel its lease or the Transferee is a primary competitor
of another tenant leasing space in the Project and such tenant objects to such
Transfer;

          (g) Transferee occupies space in the Project and such space is not
contiguous to the Premises, is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the
Project, or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) months immediately
preceding notice of the proposed Transfer to Landlord;

          (h) The rent charged by Tenant to Transferee during the term of the
Transfer, is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value for
comparable space in the Project and in buildings and/or projects within the same
geographical area of similar type, identity, quality and location for a
comparable term.

          If Tenant desires to Transfer all or any portion of the Premises,
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice ("Transfer Notice") thereof,
specifying the projected commencement date of the proposed Transfer (which date
shall be not less than thirty (30) days or more than ninety (90) days after the
date of Landlord's receipt of such notice), the portion of the Premises which is
the subject of the proposed Transfer (the "Subject Space"), a description of any
planned alterations or improvements to the Subject Space, the terms and
conditions of the proposed Transfer (including the rent to be paid by the
Transferee and any and all other consideration to be given by the Transferee),
the name, address and telephone number of the Transferee, and a detailed
calculation of the Transfer Premium (certified by Tenant's chief financial
officer) to be paid as provided below.  Tenant shall further provide Landlord
with such other information concerning the Transferee as requested by Landlord.
Landlord shall have the right to communicate with the Transferee to discuss the
terms of the proposed Transfer, to discuss and negotiate, if Landlord desires,
the terms of a direct lease between Landlord and Transferee, or any other matter
and to enter into a direct lease agreement with Transferee as provided below and
failure of Transferee to meet with Landlord and to negotiate in good faith the
terms of a direct lease with Landlord shall constitute grounds for Landlord's
refusal to consent to the proposed Transfer.  For a period of thirty (30) days
after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord shall have the option,
exercisable by delivering written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease for
the Subject Space or for the entire Premises, in Landlord's discretion, as of
the date specified in Landlord's written notice to Tenant, which date shall not
be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the date of
Landlord's written notice to Tenant.  Landlord's right to terminate the Lease as
to the entire Premises shall only apply if

                                      19
<PAGE>

the square footage of the Subject Space when added to the square footage of any
other space previously subleased constitutes more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of the total square footage of the Premises.  If Landlord exercises its option
to terminate this Lease as provided in the foregoing sentence, Landlord may, if
it so elects, enter into a new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof
with the Transferee or any other third party on such terms as Landlord and the
Transferee or other third party may agree; in such event, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any portion of the profit, if any, which Landlord may realize on
account of such termination and reletting.  If Landlord exercises its option to
terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space only (i.e., less than the
entire Premises), then Tenant shall continue to be obligated under this Lease as
to the remaining space (i.e., the Premises less the Subject Space) and Base Rent
payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be adjusted as follows: the monthly
rent amount specified in paragraph 3 of this Lease shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the square feet of the Premises retained by
Tenant after Landlord's recapture of the Subject Space and the denominator of
which is the total square feet of the Premises before Landlord's recapture.
This Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.
Either party may require written confirmation of the amendments to this Lease
necessitated by Landlord's recapture of the Subject Space.  If Landlord
recaptures the Subject Space, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense,
construct any partitions required to segregate the Subject Space from the
remaining Premises retained by Tenant.  Tenant shall, however, pay for painting,
covering, or otherwise decorating the surfaces of the partitions facing the
remaining Premises retained by Tenant.

          If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided
hereinabove in this paragraph 15 and if Landlord consents in writing to the
proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be free to make such Transfer subject to the
following conditions: (i) any Transfer shall be on the same terms set forth in
the Transfer Notice given to Landlord; (ii) no Transfer shall be valid and no
Transferee shall take possession of the Subject Space until an executed
counterpart of such Transfer has been delivered to Landlord; (iii) no Transferee
shall have a further right to assign or sublet; (iv) eighty percent (80%) of the
Bonus Rent (as defined below), if any, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
monthly as additional rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any
other obligation of Tenant hereunder (such amounts are referred to herein as the
"Transfer Premium"); (v) no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation
or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder; and (vi) any assignee
must expressly agree to assume and perform all of the covenants and conditions
of Tenant under this Lease and any subtenant must expressly agree to abide by
all the terms of this Lease; and (vii) any modification or amendment of any such
Transfer shall be deemed to be a separate Transfer transaction and shall be
subject to Landlord's right to

                                      20
<PAGE>

recapture, Landlord's prior written consent and the other terms and provisions
of this paragraph 15.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord promptly upon demand as
additional rent, Landlord's reasonable actual attorneys' fees and other costs
incurred for reviewing, processing or documenting any requested Transfer,
whether or not Landlord's consent is granted.  Tenant shall not be entitled to
assign this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises (and any attempt
to do so shall be voidable by Landlord) during any period in which Tenant is in
default under this Lease.

          For purposes of this paragraph 15, the term "Bonus Rent" shall mean
the Transfer Payments (as defined below) less the amounts specified in (A) and
(B), where (A) is a monthly credit amount equal to the sum of (1) and (2)
divided by the total number of months in the term of the Transfer, where (1) is
the actual out-of-pocket cost of leasehold improvements paid by Tenant to third
party contractors and constructed specifically for the exclusive benefit of such
Transferee in the Subject Space, but specifically excluding any costs related to
(i) the initial tenant improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, if any, (ii) the installation, modification and/or
removal of security systems, data cabling and telephone and communication
systems, and (iii) the installation, modification and/or removal of any
furniture, fixtures or equipment or any personal property, and (2) is the amount
of broker fees paid by Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and (B) is a
monthly credit amount equal to the monthly Base Rent and Operating Expense
Increases which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease during the
term of such Transfer (prorated in the case of a sublease to reflect the
obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease).
At Landlord's request, Tenant shall furnish a complete statement, certified by
an independent certified public accountant or Tenant's chief financial officer,
describing in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium that Tenant has
derived or will derive from the Transfer.  Landlord or Landlord's agent shall
have the right to review Tenant's books and records relating to the calculation
of Bonus Rent, including the right to have an independent certified public
accountant review same.  If Landlord's independent certified public accountant
finds that the Bonus Rent for any Transfer has been understated, Tenant shall,
within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord's costs of
that review.

          For purposes of this paragraph 15, the term "Transfer Payments" shall
mean any and all sums or other consideration payable to or received by Tenant as
a result of or in connection with a Transfer whether denominated rent or
otherwise, including any amounts payable to Tenant for (x) services to be
provided to Transferee by Tenant or (y) the sale, lease or use of Tenant's
furniture, fixtures and equipment or other personal property; provided that the
amounts specified in clauses (x) and (y) shall only be included to the extent
that the Transfer Payments excluding such items is less than the fair market
rent for the Subject Space

                                      21
<PAGE>

based on the market rate for comparable space in the Project and in comparable
buildings and projects within the same geographical area of similar type,
identity, quality and location.

          If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary or
involuntary or by operation of law, of any general partner or the dissolution of
the partnership shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to all the
conditions of this paragraph 15.  If Tenant is a corporation any dissolution,
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or the sale or other
transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant or the sale
of more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of Tenant's assets shall be an
assignment of this Lease subject to all the conditions of this paragraph 15.
The term "controlling percentage" means the ownership of, and the right to vote,
stock possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote.  This
subparagraph of this paragraph 15 shall not apply if Tenant is a corporation the
stock of which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or NASDAQ or if such transfer occurs in connection with a listing of
the Tenant thereon.

          The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.  Consent to one
Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer.  In the event
of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or
successor.  Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with Transferees of Tenant, without
notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this
Lease.

          No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by operation
of law (including, without limitation, the transfer of this Lease by testacy or
intestacy).  Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary
assignment: (i) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt, makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or institutes a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act in
which Tenant is the bankrupt; or, if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more
than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or
entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors; (ii) if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on
this Lease; or (iii) if, in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party,
a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises.  An
involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall
have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall
not be treated as an asset of Tenant.

                                      22
<PAGE>

          Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security
for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rent or other consideration from
any Transfer of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and
Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver of
Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent or other
consideration and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease and any
Transferee agrees to make such payments directly to Landlord upon Landlord's
written request; provided that, until the occurrence of a default by Tenant,
Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent, subject to promptly forwarding
to Landlord any portion thereof to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this
paragraph 15.

          Notwithstanding the above requirement that Tenant obtain the consent
of Landlord prior to any Transfer, Tenant may, without obtaining the prior
consent of Landlord, assign or sublease the whole or any part of the Premises to
any corporation or other entity which (a) controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with Tenant, (b) acquires all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets or stock, or (c) results from the merger or consolidation with
another entity; provided that (i) Tenant shall give written notice thereof to
Landlord in the manner required for other Transfers by this paragraph 15, (ii)
Tenant shall continue to be fully obligated under this lease, (iii) any such
Transferee shall expressly assume and agree to perform all the terms and
conditions of this lease to be performed by Tenant, (iv) Transferee shall have a
tangible net worth, as evidenced by financial statements delivered to Landlord
and certified by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles that are consistently applied ("Net
Worth"), at least equal to the greater of (A) Tenant's Net Worth either
immediately before the Transfer or as of the date of this lease, whichever is
greater or (B) Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000), and (v) any such
Transfer shall be subject to all other terms and conditions of this paragraph 15
pertaining to Transfers as defined herein (excepting only the requirement
concerning prior written consent of Landlord).

     16.  RULES AND REGULATIONS

          The current Rules and Regulations of the Project are attached hereto
as Exhibit D.  Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and
regulations of the Project and any and all reasonable modifications thereof and
additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord.
Landlord shall have the right to amend the rules and regulations from time to
time as Landlord deems necessary or appropriate; provided that the Rules and
Regulations do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of, access to or
parking at the Premises and do not materially and unreasonably increase the
obligations or materially and unreasonably decrease Tenant's under this Lease.
The Rules and Regulations shall apply to all occupants of the Project on an non-

                                      23
<PAGE>

discriminatory basis.  Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the
nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Project of any said rules
and regulations.  In the event of a conflict between the specific terms of this
Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the terms of this Lease shall control.

     17.  ENTRY BY LANDLORD

          Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable hours and upon
reasonable notice to (a) inspect the same, (b) exhibit the same to prospective
purchasers, lenders or tenants, (c) determine whether Tenant is complying with
all its obligations hereunder, (d) supply janitor service and any other service
to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, (e) post notices of
nonresponsibility, and (f) make repairs required of Landlord under the terms
hereof or repairs to any adjoining space or utility services or make repairs,
alterations or improvements to any other portion of the building.  Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of Tenant's
business. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry
and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent if
Landlord exercises its right of entry as specified above.  Landlord shall at all
times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or
about the Premises (excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and similar areas
designated in writing by Tenant and Landlord in advance); and Landlord shall
have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open
said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any
entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise,
shall not under any circumstances be constructed or deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or
constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof.

     18.  COMMON AREA; PARKING

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and
regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe, Tenant and Tenant's
employees and invitees shall, in common with other occupants of the Project and
their respective employees and invitees and others entitled to the use thereof,
have the nonexclusive right to use those areas of the common area provided and
designated by Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of
the Project (which area and facilities shall include, but not be limited to,
common lobbies, corridors, restrooms, and showers, telephone, electrical,
janitorial and mechanical rooms, elevators, stairwells, vertical duct shafts,
sidewalks, parking, refuse, landscape and plaza areas, roofs, building
exteriors, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC systems, and storage
areas), which areas and facilities are

                                      24
<PAGE>

referred to herein as "common area". This right shall terminate upon the
termination of this Lease.

          Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the
shape; size, location, amount and extent of the common area; provided that
Tenant's use of and access to the Premises and parking rights are not
unreasonably and materially adversely affected.  Landlord shall also have the
right at any time to change the name, number or designation by which the Project
is commonly known.

          Tenant shall have the nonexclusive use of one hundred thirty-five
(135) parking spaces in the common area as designated from time to time by
Landlord.  Landlord reserves the right at its sole option to assign and label
parking spaces, but it is specifically agreed that Landlord is not responsible
for policing any such parking spaces.  Tenant shall not at any time park or
permit the parking of Tenant's trucks or other vehicles, or the trucks or other
vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere in any way with
the use of such areas; nor shall Tenant at any time park or permit the parking
of Tenant's vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of Tenant's suppliers
or others, in any portion of the common area not designated by Landlord for such
use by Tenant.  Tenant shall not park or permit any inoperative vehicle or
equipment to be parked on any portion of the common area.

          Landlord shall operate, manage and maintain the common area.  The
manner in which the common area shall be operated, managed and maintained and
the expenditures for such operation, management and maintenance shall be at the
reasonable discretion of Landlord and the costs of such operation, management
and maintenance of the Common Area shall be included in Operating Expenses, to
the extent provided in paragraph 4.

     19.  DEFAULT

          The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by
Tenant: (i) failure of Tenant to pay any rent or other sum payable hereunder
within three (3) days of when due (except that with respect to the first such
failure in each calendar year, Tenant shall not be in default unless Tenant
fails to pay such amount within three (3) days after Landlord's written notice
to Tenant of Tenant's failure to pay such amount when due); (ii) abandonment of
the Premises (Tenant's failure to occupy and conduct business in the Premises
for fourteen (14) consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment); (iii)
failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord any instrument, assurance, financial
statement, subordination agreement or certificate of estoppel required under
this Lease within the time period specified for such performance if the failure
continues for five (5) days after written notice of the failure from Landlord to
Tenant; or (iv) failure of Tenant to perform any other obligation under this
Lease if the failure to

                                      25
<PAGE>

perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof has
been given to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency or dangerous condition,
in which case Tenant's time to perform shall be that time period which is
reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, if the nature of Tenant's
obligations is such that more than fifteen (15) days are required for
performance, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences performance
within such fifteen (15) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the
same to completion.  The notice referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above
shall specify the obligations Tenant has failed to perform.  No notice shall be
deemed a forfeiture or termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in
the notice.  No notice shall be required in the event of abandonment or vacation
of the Premises.  The notices required in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall
replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice,
including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any
similar or successor statute.  When a statute requires service of a notice in a
particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this
Lease) in the manner required by section 34 of this Lease shall replace and
satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by
Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

          In addition to the above, the occurrence of any of the following
events shall also constitute a default by Tenant: (i) Tenant fails to pay its
debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors (for purposes of
determining whether Tenant is not paying its debts as they become due, a debt
shall be deemed overdue upon the earliest to occur of the following: thirty (30)
days from the date a statement therefor has been rendered; the date on which any
action or proceeding therefor is commenced; or the date on which a formal notice
of default or demand has been sent); (ii) Tenant fails to furnish to Landlord a
schedule of Tenant's aged accounts payable within ten (10) days after Landlord's
written request; or (iii) any financial statements given to Landlord by Tenant,
any assignee of Tenant, subtenant of Tenant, any guarantor of Tenant, or
successor in interest of Tenant (including, without limitation, any schedule of
Tenant's aged accounts payable) are materially false.  At any time during the
term of this Lease but not more than twice per year, Landlord, at Landlord's
option, shall have the right to receive from Tenant, upon Landlord's request,
current annual financial statements (including, but not limited to, balance
sheet and statement of operations) for Landlord's review.

          On the occurrence of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the
right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any
other remedies now or later available to Landlord at law or in equity.  These
remedies are not exclusive but cumulative.  Landlord may terminate.  this Lease
and recover possession of the Premises.  Once Landlord has terminated this

                                      26
<PAGE>

Lease, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. On
termination of this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant all of the
following:

          (a) The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent that had
been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing interest
at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum but in no case greater than the
maximum amount of interest permitted by law;

          (b) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and
the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could
reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum but in no case greater than the maximum amount of
interest permitted by law;

          (c) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award
exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been
avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent
(1%).

          (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform obligations under
this Lease, including brokerage commissions and advertising expenses, expenses
of remodeling the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different
use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

          (e) Any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of those listed
above, that may be permitted by applicable law.

          Landlord shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4,
which provides that, when a tenant has the right to sublet or assign (subject
only to reasonable limitations), the landlord may continue the lease in effect
after the tenant's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due.
Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of
any default by Tenant, Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes
due.

     20.  LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT

          Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, may after the
expiration of applicable notice and cure periods specified in this Lease, but
shall not be obligated to, cure the default at Tenant's cost.  If Landlord at
any time, by reason of Tenant's default, pays any sum or does any act that
requires the

                                      27
<PAGE>

payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from
Tenant to Landlord and shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%)
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date
the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.  Amounts due
Landlord hereunder shall be additional rent.

     21.  ATTORNEYS' FEES

          If either party commences an action against the other party arising
out of or in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to have and recover from the losing party all expenses of litigation, including,
without limitation, travel expenses, attorney fees, expert witness fees, trial
and appellate court costs, and deposition and transcript expenses.  If either
party becomes a party to any litigation concerning this Lease or concerning the
Premises or the Project, by reason of any act or omission of the other party or
its authorized representatives, the party that causes the other party to become
involved in the litigation shall be liable to the other party for all expenses
of litigation, including, without limitation, travel expenses, attorney fees,
expert witness fees, trial and appellate court costs, and deposition and
transcript expenses.

     22.  EMINENT DOMAIN

          If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu
thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken
or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and Landlord shall be
entitled to any and all payments, income, rent, award or any interest therein
whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or
conveyance.  Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the
value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall be entitled to any compensation for alterations paid for by Tenant,
depreciation to and cost of removal of Tenant's equipment and fixtures and any
compensation for its relocation expenses necessitated by such taking, but in
each case only to the extent the condemning authority makes a separate award
therefor or specifically identifies a portion of the award as being therefor.
Each party waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure (which section allows either party to petition the Superior
Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises).

          If any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the
Premises or any portion thereof or of any other space in the Project, or if
Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the right or power
of condemnation of its intention to condemn the Premises or any portion thereof
or of any other space in the Project, and Landlord shall decide to discontinue
the use

                                      28
<PAGE>

and operation of the Project or decide to demolish, alter or rebuild the
Project, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days of the earlier of the date
of Landlord's receipt of such notice of intention to condemn or the commencement
of said action or proceeding.  Such termination shall be effective as of the
last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is
given or the date on which title shall vest in the condemnor, whichever occurs
first.

          In the event of a partial taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of
the Premises and fifty percent or more of the number of square feet in the
Premises are taken, then Tenant may terminate this Lease.  Any election by
Tenant to so terminate shall be by written notice given to Landlord within sixty
(60) days from the date of such taking or conveyance and shall be effective on
the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice
is given or the date on which title shall vest in the condemnor, whichever
occurs first.

          If a portion of the Premises is taken by power of eminent domain or
conveyance in lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease
as provided above, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to
the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed and all payments of rent shall
be apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter
the amounts to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the
portion of the Premises not so taken bears to the total area of the Premises
prior to such taking.

     23.  SUBORDINATION

          (a) This Lease shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, or any other hypothecation of security now or hereafter placed
upon the Premises or the Project and to any and all advances made on the
security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof; provided that Tenant's right to quiet
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default
and so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the
provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to
its terms.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the current lien holder, if any,
in customary form.  If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to
have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease
is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease or the date of the recording thereof.

                                      29

          (b) Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably required to
effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease prior to the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be.
Tenant's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written
demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder without further
notice to Tenant.

     24.  NO MERGER

          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
Landlord terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the
option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases
or subtenancies.

     25.  SALE

          In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner
of the Project shall sell or convey the Project, all liabilities and obligations
on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under this Lease
accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and
obligations accruing after the date of sale or conveyance shall be binding upon
the new owner.  Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner and to look solely to
the new owner for performance of any and all such liabilities and obligations
accruing after the date of sale or conveyance; provided if such new owner has
assumed Landlord's obligations hereunder in writing.

     26.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

          Each party shall, within five (5) business days after request
therefor, execute and deliver to the other party, in recordable form, a
certificate stating that the lease is unmodified and in full force and effect,
or in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications.  The
certificate shall also state the amount of the monthly rent, the date to which
monthly rent has been paid in advance, the amount of the security deposit and/or
prepaid monthly rent, and, if the request is made by Landlord, shall include
such other items as Landlord or Landlord's lender may reasonably request.
Failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall constitute a
conclusive acknowledgement by the party failing to deliver the certificate that
the lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be
represented by the party requesting the certificate.  Any such certificate
requested by Landlord may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or Project.  Further, within five (5)
calendar days following written request made from time to time by Landlord,
Tenant shall furnish to Landlord current financial statements of Tenant.

                                      30

     27.  NO LIGHT, AIR OR VIEW EASEMENT

          This Lease confers no rights either with regard to the subsurface of
or airspace above the land on which the Project is located or with regard to
airspace above the building of which the Premises are a part.  Any diminution or
shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on
lands adjacent to the building in which the Premises are located shall in no way
affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.

     28.  EASEMENTS

          Landlord reserves the right to alter the boundaries of the Project and
grant easements and dedicate for public use portions of the Project without
Tenant's consent, provided that no such grant or dedication shall interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises or otherwise cause Tenant to incur cost or expense.
From time to time, and upon Landlord's demand, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord, in accordance with Landlord's instructions, any and all
documents, instruments, maps or plats necessary to effectuate Tenant's covenants
hereunder.

     29.  HOLDING OVER

          Any holding over after the expiration or termination of this Lease
with the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from
month-to-month at the monthly rent agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, but in no
event less than the monthly rent payable under this Lease for the last lease
month before the date of such expiration or termination.  All provisions of this
Lease, except (i) as modified by the preceding sentence and (ii) those
provisions pertaining to the term, expansion rights and any option to extend,
shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy.

          If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof
without Landlord's written consent following the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease for any reason, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
rent during the holdover period an amount equal to the greater of (i) two
hundred percent (200%) of the amount of the monthly rent in effect during the
last full lease month prior to the date of such expiration or termination or
(ii) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market rental (as reasonably
determined by Landlord) for the Premises.  Tenant shall also indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from any loss, liability and expense (including, but not
limited to, attorneys fees) resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the
Premises, including without limitation any claims made by any succeeding tenant
founded on such delay.  Acceptance of rent by Landlord following expiration or
termination shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease, and nothing contained
in this paragraph shall waive Landlord's right of re-entry or any other right.
Tenant shall be only a tenant at sufferance, Whether or not Landlord accepts any

                                      31
<PAGE>

rent from Tenant, while Tenant is holding over without Landlord's written
consent.

          The provisions of this paragraph 29 are in addition to, and do not
affect, Landlord's right of re-entry or other rights hereunder or provided by
law.  Nothing in this paragraph 29 shall be construed as implied consent by
Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.  Landlord expressly reserves the right
to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as
provided in this Lease on expiration or other termination of this Lease.  The
provisions of this paragraph 29 shall not be considered to limit or constitute a
waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided in this Lease or at
law.  The provisions of this paragraph 29 shall survive the expiration or early
termination of this Lease.

     30.  SURRENDER

          On the last day of the term or on the effective date of any earlier
termination, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises in its condition
existing as of the commencement of the term and, except as otherwise provided by
Landlord pursuant to the terms of paragraph 8 of this Lease, all of the
improvements and alterations made to the Premises in their condition existing as
of the date of completion of construction and/or installation (normal wear and
tear, acts of God, casualties and condemnation excepted).On or prior to the last
day of the term or the effective date of any earlier termination, Tenant shall
remove all of Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures, together with
improvements or alterations that Tenant is obligated to remove pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 8 of this Lease, from the Premises, and all such
property not removed shall be deemed abandoned.  In addition, on or prior to any
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, all telephone, other communication, computer and
any other cabling and wiring or any sort installed in the space above the
suspended ceiling of the Premises or anywhere else in the Premises and shall
promptly repair any damage to the suspended ceiling, lights, light fixtures,
walls and any other part of the Premises resulting from such removal.

          If the Premises are not surrendered as required in this paragraph 30,
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss, liability and expense
(including, but not limited to, attorney fees) resulting from the failure by
Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any
claims made by any succeeding tenants.  It is agreed between Landlord and Tenant
that the provisions of this paragraph 30 shall survive termination of this
Lease.

     31.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

          Concurrent with Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional and

                                      32
<PAGE>

irrevocable letter of credit ("Letter of Credit") in the amount of Two Million
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,800,000) to secure the faithful performance
by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept
and performed by Tenant. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank (the "L-
C Bank") approved by Landlord in the reasonable exercise of its discretion and
shall be in a form that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's reasonable
discretion.  The L-C Bank shall be a bank that accepts deposits, maintains
accounts, has a local office that will negotiate a letter of credit, and the
deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining
the Letter of Credit.  The Letter of Credit shall be available by draft at
sight, subject only to receipt by the bank of a notarized statement from
Landlord or Landlord's authorized representative requesting such draw.  The
Letter of Credit shall be transferable by Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate as
reasonably necessary in connection with any such transfer.  The Letter of Credit
shall by its terms expire not less than one year from the date issued, and shall
provide for automatic one (1) year extensions unless Landlord is notified in
writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to such expiration from the L-C
Bank that the Letter of Credit will not be extended.  In any event, unless
Tenant deposits with Landlord a cash security deposit of like amount as
permitted below, said Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Tenant for successive
periods of not less than one year each to and including the date that is sixty
(60) days after the expiration date of this Lease.  The bank's written renewal
of the Letter of Credit shall in each case be delivered to Landlord not less
than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the then outstanding
Letter of Credit.  Tenant's failure to so deliver, renew (including specifically
but not limited to the delivery to Landlord of such renewal not less than ninety
(90) days prior to expiration of the Letter of Credit) and maintain such Letter
of Credit, shall constitute a default under this Lease without any further
notice or grace period.

          If Tenant is in default under this Lease, including, without
limitation, providing, renewing and maintaining the Letter of Credit as required
above, or payment of rent or any other amounts due Landlord under this Lease,
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy available to Landlord,
immediately and without further notice draw down the entire amount of the Letter
of Credit to be held by Landlord as a cash security deposit for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant.

          In the event Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit due to Tenant's
failure to renew the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall have a one-time right to
restore the Letter of Credit within ninety (90) days of such draw by landlord
and upon receipt of the replacement Letter of Credit (Landlord shall return the
cash Security Deposit less applicable offsets, if any).  If Tenant

                                      33
<PAGE>

defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may (but shall
not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this security
deposit for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend by reason of
Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for any other expense, loss or damage
which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default.  If any portion of said
deposit is so used, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand
therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in the amount sufficient to restore the
security deposit to its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this Lease.  Landlord shall not be required to keep this
security deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit.  The security deposit or any balance
thereof shall be returned to Tenant after Tenant has vacated the Premises less
any deductions or offsets to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder.  In the
event of termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall
transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in interest, and Tenant agrees
that upon such transfer and upon such successor's written assumption of
Landlord's obligations hereunder Landlord shall thereupon be released from
liability for the return of such deposit or any accounting therefor.  Provided
that Tenant has not been in default under the terms of this Lease (as defined in
paragraph 19 of this Lease), then Landlord shall allow Tenant to reduce the
amount of the Letter of Credit as follows: (1) the amount of the Letter of
Credit may be reduced annually by the amount which is equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the Letter of Credit amount prior to such reduction by a
fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number
of full lease years remaining in the lease term on each anniversary date of the
Phase 2 Delivery Date; (2) the outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit may
be reduced by fifty percent (50%) provided that the Tenant has a $200,000,000
net worth and provided that Tenant has achieved four consecutive quarters of net
income of at least $1,000,000 per quarter (all calculations shall be based upon
generally accepted accounting principles and certified by an independent
certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord); provided
that in no event shall the Letter of Credit be reduced to less than $1,000,000
prior to the 54th lease month after the Phase 2 Delivery Date.

     32.  INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS; LATE CHARGE

          (a) Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid
when due shall bear interest at the rate of five percentage points above the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco as of the date due or
the maximum rate allowable under the law, whichever is less, from the date due
until paid, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease.

          (b) In addition, Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of monthly rent or of any other amount due

                                      34
<PAGE>

Landlord from Tenant will cause Landlord to incur accounting, administrative and
other costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult and impractical to fix.  Therefore, if any such payment due
from Tenant is not received in full by Landlord within three (3) days after the
date such payment is due, which payments are subject to application by Landlord
as provided in paragraph 3 (d) of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
additional sum of five percent (5%) of the entire payment 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.  No notice to Tenant of
failure to pay shall be required prior to the imposition of such interest and/or
late charge.  Any interest and late charge imposed pursuant to this paragraph
shall be and constitute additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord.

     33.  WAIVER

          The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any agreement, condition or
provision herein contained shall not, nor shall any custom or practice which may
evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof, be
construed to waive or to lessen the right of a party to insist upon performance
in strict accordance with said terms.  No delay or omission in the exercise of
any right or remedy on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver.  The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent
rent or other payments shall not constitute a waiver of any other default and
acceptance of partial payments shall not be construed as a waiver of the balance
of such payment due.  No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without
limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an
acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of
the term.  In such case, only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall
constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a
termination of this Lease.  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 act by
Tenant.  Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not
be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of
this Lease.

     34.  NOTICES

          Except for legal process, statutory notices and Notice of Belief of
Abandonment which may be served either as provided by law or as provided herein,

confirmed by the courier service.

          Any correctly addressed Notice that is refused, unclaimed, or
undeliverable because of an act or omission of the party to be notified shall be
deemed effective as of the first date that the Notice was refused, unclaimed, or
considered undeliverable by the postal authorities, messenger, or overnight
delivery service.

          Prior to the commencement date, all such Notices from Landlord to
Tenant shall be served or addressed to Tenant at 255 Shoreline Drive, Suite 200,
Redwood City, California.  On or after the commencement date all such Notices

of such change in any manner permitted by this paragraph 34.

     35.  BROKERAGE COMMISSION

          Landlord and Tenant warrant that they have had no contract or dealings
regarding this Lease through any licensed real estate broker other than Grubb &
Ellis Company (Landlord's Broker) and Cornish & Carey (Tenant's Broker).  In the
event that any other broker, finder or person asserts a claim to a commission or
finder's fee in connection with this Lease, the party through whom the broker or
finder makes its claim shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other party
from said claim and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by the other party in defending against the same.

                                      36
<PAGE>

     36.  COMPLETE AGREEMENT

          There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting
this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous
negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any,
between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to
the subject matter of this Lease or the Project.  There are no representations
between Landlord and Tenant other than those contained in this Lease.

     37.  AUTHORITY

          Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents
and warrants that (i) he/she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of Tenant and: (a) if Tenant is a corporation, such
authorization is in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of
Directors of said corporation, (b) if Tenant is a partnership, such
authorization is in accordance with the partnership agreement now in effect, and
(c) if Tenant is a limited liability company, such authorization is in

authorizing the execution of this Lease and naming the officers that are
authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of Tenant, which copy shall be
certified by Tenant's secretary as correct and in full force and effect.

     38.  SUCCESSORS

          The agreements, conditions and provisions herein contained shall,
subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     39.  SIGNAGE

          Tenant shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Landlord, install or attach any sign or advertising material on any part of the
outside of the Premises, or on any part of the inside of the Premises which is
visible from the outside of the Premises, or in the halls, lobbies, windows or
elevators of the building in which the Premises are located or on or about any
other portion of the common area or Project.  If Landlord consents to the
installation of any sign or other advertising material, the location, size,
design, color and other physical aspects thereof shall be subject to Landlord's
prior written approval and shall be in accordance with any sign program
applicable to the Project.  In

                                      37
<PAGE>

addition to any other requirements of this paragraph 39, the installation of any
sign or other advertising material by or for Tenant must comply with all
applicable laws, statutes, requirements, rules, ordinances and any C.C. & R.'s
or other similar requirements.  With respect to any permitted sign installed by
or for Tenant, Tenant shall maintain such sign or other advertising material in
good condition and repair and shall remove such sign or other advertising
material on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease.
The cost of any permitted sign or advertising material and all costs associated
with the installation, maintenance and removal thereof shall be paid for solely
by Tenant.  If Tenant fails to properly maintain or remove any permitted sign or
other advertising material, Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense.  Any cost
incurred by Landlord in connection with such maintenance or removal shall be
deemed additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10)
days following notice from Landlord.  Landlord may remove any unpermitted sign
or advertising material without notice to Tenant and the cost of such removal
shall be additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days
following notice from Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
damage, loss or expense resulting from Landlord's removal of any sign or
advertising material in accordance with this paragraph 39.  The provisions of
this paragraph 39 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.

     40.  QUIET ENJOYMENT

          Provided Tenant has performed all of the terms, covenants, agreements
and conditions of this Lease, including the payment of rent and all other sums
due hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises
for the term hereof, without hindrance from Landlord and all persons claiming
by, through or under Landlord, but subject to the provisions and conditions of
this Lease.  Tenant's right to use the premises and the common area as herein
provided shall be subject to restrictions or other limitations or prohibitions
resulting from any law, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations
or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force and no such
event shall in any way affect this Lease, abate rent, relieve Tenant of any
liabilities or obligations under this Lease or give rise to any claim whatsoever
against Landlord.

     41.  ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY

          In the event the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in
which the Premises are located (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee title
interest or a leasehold interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such
interest is acquired by a lender or any other third party through judicial
foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale at private trustee's foreclosure
sale, Tenant hereby agrees to release Landlord of any obligation arising on or
after any such foreclosure sale and to attorn to the

                                      38
<PAGE>

purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease.

     42.  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD

          Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform
obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event
earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to
the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided,
however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such that more than
thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

          If Landlord is in default of this Lease, Tenant's sole remedy shall be
to institute suit against Landlord in a court of competent jurisdiction, and
Tenant shall have no right to offset any sums expended by Tenant as a result of
Landlord's default against future rent and other sums due and payable pursuant
to this Lease.  If Landlord is in default of this Lease, and as a consequence
Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, the judgment shall be
satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment
and levy against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Project of
which the Premises are a part, and out of rent or other income from such real
property receivable by Landlord or out of the consideration received by Landlord
from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title
and interest in the Project of which the Premises are a part.  Neither Landlord
nor any of the partners comprising the partnership designated as Landlord shall
be personally liable for any deficiency.

     43.  CONSTRUCTION CHANGES

          It is understood that the description of the Premises and the location
of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject to such changes
as Landlord or Landlord's architect determines to be desirable in the course of
construction of the premises and/or the improvements constructed or being
constructed therein, and no such change nor any change in plans for any other
portions of the Project, shall affect this Lease or entitle Tenant to any
reduction of rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant;
provided Tenant's use of the Premises is not materially impaired.

     44.  MEASUREMENT OF PREMISES

          Tenant understands and agrees that any reference to square footage of
the Premises is approximate only.  Landlord and

                                      39
<PAGE>

Tenant hereby stipulate that the Premises consist of rentable square feet stated
in paragraph 1 of this Lease.  Tenant waives any claim against Landlord
regarding the accuracy of any such measurement and agrees that there shall not
be any adjustment in monthly rent or other amounts payable hereunder by reason
of inaccuracies in such measurement.

     45.  PROJECT NAME

          Tenant shall not use the name of the Project for any purpose other
than as the address of the business conducted by Tenant in the Premises without
the prior written consent of Landlord.

     46.  GOVERNING LAW

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

     47.  SEVERABILITY

          If any provision of this Lease shall be held or rendered invalid,
unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, all other provisions
hereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.

     48.  TIME

          Time is of the essence of this Lease and of each and all of its
provisions.

     49.  RECORDING

          Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease or a short form
memorandum hereof without the consent of the other.

     50.  TENANT'S QUITCLAIM

          At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after written
demand from Landlord to Tenant, any quitclaim deed or other document required to
remove the cloud or encumbrance created by this Lease from the real property of
which the Premises are a part.  This obligation shall survive said expiration or
termination.

     51.  EXHIBITS AND ATTACKERS

          All exhibits and attachments to this Lease are a part hereof and the
terms and provisions thereof are incorporated into this Lease by this reference
as though set forth herein in full.

     52.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

          A.   Tenant's Covenants Regarding Hazardous Materials.
               ------------------------------------------------

               (1)  Hazardous Materials Handling. Tenant, its agents, invitees,
                    ----------------------------
employees, contractors, sublessees, assigns and/or successors shall not use,
store, dispose, release or otherwise cause to be present or permit the use,
storage, disposal, release or presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below)
on or about the Premises or Project.  As used herein "Hazardous Materials" shall
mean any petroleum or petroleum by-products, flammable explosives, asbestos,
urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials or waste and any "hazardous substance",
"hazardous waste", "hazardous materials" "toxic substance" or "toxic waste" as

     53.  SUBMISSION OF LEASE

          The submission of this Lease to Tenant for examination or signature by

and Tenant.

                                      42
<PAGE>

     54.  PREMISES TAKEN "AS IS"

          Tenant is leasing the Premises from Landlord "as is" in their
condition existing as of the date hereof, subject to the current occupant's
right to remove its personal property and trade fixtures as provided in its
lease.  Landlord shall have no obligation to alter or improve the Premises.
Landlord warrants and represents that, as of the Lease Commencement Date, (i)
the Premises, the Building and the Project will comply with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, underwriters' requirements, covenants,
conditions and restrictions ("Laws") to the extent such compliance is required
by governmental authority to have been completed by the Lease Commencement Date,
(ii) the Premises will be clean and in good operating condition and repair,
(iii) the electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, sewer, elevator and other
systems serving the Premises and the Building will be in good operating
condition and repair, and (iv) the roof of the Building will be in good
condition and water tight.  Tenant's acceptance of the Premises shall not be
deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to have defects in the Premises repaired at
Landlord's sole expense.  Landlord shall, promptly after receipt of written
notice from Tenant, remedy any non-compliance with such warranty at Landlord's
sole cost and expense.

     55.  ADDITIONAL RENT

          All costs, charges, fees, penalties, interest and any other payments
(including Tenant's reimbursement to Landlord of costs incurred by Landlord)
which Tenant is required to make to Landlord pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Lease and any amendments to this Lease shall be and
constitute additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord when due as specified
in this Lease or any amendments to this Lease.

     56.  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

     57.  JOINT AND SEVERAL

          If Tenant is comprised of more than one entity or person, the
obligations imposed on each entity or person that comprises Tenant shall be
joint and several.

     58.  TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE

          Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a one-time tenant improvement
allowance of up to One Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Three Hundred Five Dollars
($156,305) (the "Allowance") to reimburse Tenant for the direct costs of
building standard tenant improvements which are permanently affixed to the
Premises, including design, engineering, finish modification and construction
(the "Tenant Improvements") and installed in the Premises by Tenant

                                      43
<PAGE>

during the first year after the Phase 2 Delivery Date, subject to the following
terms and conditions:

          (a) The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed alterations to the
Premises subject to Landlord's prior written consent and shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions of paragraph 8 of this Lease.  Tenant shall submit
preliminary space plans and final space plans to Landlord for Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord.
Upon Landlord's approval of the final space plan, Tenant shall thereafter cause
to be prepared by licensed architects and engineers a fully coordinated set of
architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings
(the "Final Construction Drawings") for the Tenant Improvements, if applicable,
and shall submit copies of the Final Construction Drawings to Landlord for
Landlord's approval.  After Landlord's approval of the Final Construction
Drawings, Tenant shall submit the Final Construction Drawings as approved by
Landlord to the City to obtain all requisite building permits.  No changes,
modifications or alterations to the Final Construction Drawings shall be made
without Landlord's prior written consent.

          (b) A general contractor shall be retained by Tenant to construct the
Tenant Improvements.  The general contractor shall be subject to Landlord's
approval.  Tenant shall only use contractors and subcontractors approved by
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord.  All of
Tenant's contractors and subcontractors shall carry workers' compensation
insurance covering all of their respective employees and shall also carry
commercial general liability and property damage insurance, all with limits, in
form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant in paragraph 11
of this Lease.  Tenant shall also carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an
amount approved by Landlord covering construction of the Tenant Improvements and
such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require.  Certificates for all
insurances required hereunder shall be provided to Landlord prior to
commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements.

          (c) Landlord will be notified at least ten (10) days prior to the
commencement of any construction in order to post a Notice of Non-
Responsibility.  Tenant agrees to conform with Landlord's rules and regulations
associated with construction to minimize the disruption to the other tenants in
the building.  Any construction which causes significant noise or other
disturbance to the tenants shall be done during non-business hours (i.e.,
evenings after 6:30 p.m.  or weekends).  Tenant will require its general
contractor to clean the exterior of the Premises daily and shall keep the common
areas clean and debris-free at all times and shall park construction vehicles
and store materials in areas designated by Landlord.  Mechanical systems shall
be designed so as to not affect the systems of the adjoining suites or otherwise
alter the airflow to the other tenants in the building.

                                      44
<PAGE>

          (d) The Tenant Improvements for which Tenant may seek reimbursement
shall be substantially completed within one (1) year after the Phase 2 Delivery
Date.

          (e) All outstanding claims for labor, materials, fixtures and all
other costs and expenses relating to the Tenant Improvements shall have been
paid in full by Tenant (with evidence of payment to be provided to Landlord) and
Tenant shall have obtained lien releases from all contractors and materialmen
(copies of lien releases to be provided to Landlord), satisfactory to Landlord.

          (f) The Tenant Improvements shall have been constructed in accordance
with all applicable local, state and federal laws, statutes, codes, ordinances,
rules and regulations.

          (g) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease and no event shall
have occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute a default; unless Tenant cures such default and Landlord elects
not to terminate this Lease based on such default.

          (h) Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at all times
during construction of the Tenant Improvements to inspect and monitor such
construction, but shall have no obligation to do so and assumes no liability or
responsibility for such construction and/or compliance with laws applicable
thereto, which is and shall be Tenant's sole responsibility.

          (i) Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the Allowance which
exceeds the actual cost incurred and paid by Tenant for construction of the
Tenant Improvements and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit against rent
or any other payment due Landlord under this Lease for any unused portion of the
Allowance. Tenant shall not be entitled to any reimbursement hereunder and no
disbursement of any part of the Allowance shall be required until all of the
conditions specified in this paragraph 58 have been fully satisfied.

     59.  OPTION TO EXTEND TERM

          Landlord grants to Tenant the option to extend the term for one period
of five (5) years (the "Extended Term") following the expiration of the initial
term set forth in paragraph 2 ("Initial Term") under all the provisions of this
Lease except for the amount of the basic rent and security deposit.  The basic
rent and security deposit for the Extended Term shall be adjusted to one hundred
percent (100%) of the market rate (as defined in paragraph (c) below); provided
that in no event shall the basic rent and security deposit for the Extended Term
be less than the basic rent and security deposit in effect at the expiration of
the Initial Term.  This option is further subject to the following terms and
conditions:

                                      45
<PAGE>

          (a) Tenant must deliver its irrevocable written' notice of Tenant's
exercise of this option to Landlord not less than twelve (12) lease months, nor
more than fifteen (15) lease months, prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term.  Time is of the essence with respect to the time period during which
Tenant must deliver to Landlord its written notice of exercise and, therefore,
if Tenant fails to give Landlord its irrevocable written notice of its exercise
of this option within the time period provided above then this option shall
expire and be of no further force or effect.

          (b) The parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date Landlord
receives Tenant's notice of exercise in which to agree on the amount
constituting the market rate.  If Landlord and Tenant agree on the amount of the
market rate, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease setting
forth the expiration date of the extended term and the amount of the basic rent
to be paid by Tenant during the extended term, including the annual adjustment
provision.  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of the
market rate within such time period, then, at the request of either party, the
market rate shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: (i) within
ten (10) days of the request for such appraisal, Landlord and Tenant shall each
select a licensed real estate broker with not less than five (5) years
experience in the business of commercial leasing of property of the same type
and use, and in the same geographic area, as the Premises; (ii) within fifteen
(15) days of their appointment, such two real estate brokers shall select a
third broker similarly qualified; (iii) within thirty (30) days from the
appointment of the third broker, the three brokers so selected shall, acting as
a board of arbitrators, then appraise the Premises and determine the amount of
the market rate, basing their determination on using standard procedures and
tests normally employed in making such appraisals and applying the factors
included within definition of market rate set forth in subparagraph (c) below.
The decision of the majority of said brokers shall be final and binding upon the
parties hereto.  If a majority of the brokers are unable to agree on the market
rate within the stipulated period of time, the three appraisals shall be added
together and their total divided by three; the resulting quotient shall be the
market rate. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are/is
more than 15% lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal
and/or the high appraisal, as the case may be, shall be disregarded.  If only
one appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two appraisal shall be added
together and their total divided by two and the resulting quotient shall be the
market rate.  If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded
as stated in this paragraph, the middle appraisal shall be the market rate. If a
party does not appoint a broker within the required time period, the broker
appointed by the other party shall be the sole broker and shall determine the
market rate.  If the two brokers appointed by the parties are unable to agree on
the third broker, either of the parties to the lease, by giving ten (10) days'
notice to the other party, can apply to the then president of the county

                                      46
<PAGE>

real estate board of the county in which the Premises are located, or to the
presiding judge of the superior court of that county, for the selection of a
third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph.  Each party
shall pay the expenses and charges of the broker appointed by it and the parties
shall pay the expenses and charges of the third broker in equal shares.  When
the market rate has been so determined, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately
execute an amendment to this Lease stating the revised basic rent and adjustment
provision for the extended term.

          (c) As used herein, the "market rate" shall be the monthly rental
rate, including all escalations, and security deposit then obtained for five (5)
year leases with comparable terms for comparable space in the Project and in
buildings and/or projects within the same geographical area of similar type,
identity, quality and location as the Project and shall take into consideration
the views, location within the submarket, and rental abatement concessions, if
any, being granted to comparable tenants in connection with comparable space.

          (d) Direct expenses shall continue to be determined and payable as
provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Lease.

          (e) Neither party shall have the right to have any court or other
third party determine the market rate or the basic rent. Tenant shall not assign
or otherwise transfer this option or any interest therein and any attempt to do
so shall render this option null and void.  Tenant shall have no right to extend
the term beyond the Extended Term.  If Tenant is in default under this Lease at
the date of delivery of Tenant's notice of exercise to Landlord, then such
notice shall be of no effect and this Lease shall expire at the end of the
Initial Term; if Tenant is in default under this Lease on the last day of the
Initial Term, then Landlord may in its sole discretion elect to have Tenant's
exercise of this option be of no effect, in which case this Lease shall expire
at the end of the Initial Term.

          (f) The rights contained in this paragraph 59 shall be personal to the
originally named Tenant and may be exercised only by the originally named Tenant
(and may not be transferred or assigned or exercised by any assignee, sublessee,
or other transferee of Tenant's interest in this Lease) and only if the
originally named Tenant occupies the entire Premises as of the date it exercises
this option in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 59.

     60.  CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, (i) as to any capital
expenditure to the Premises made by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, as additional rent and in equal monthly installments over the
remaining term of this Lease (including any extension thereof), the amortized
cost thereof

                                      47
<PAGE>

applicable to the lease term and any extension thereof, determined by amortizing
the total cost of such capital expenditure over its useful life (including
interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over the then current Prime Rate as
published by the Wall Street Journal); and (ii) as to any required capital
expenditure to the common area or the Project made by Landlord under this Lease
and the cost of which exceeds $50,000, the amortized cost thereof, determined by
amortizing the total cost of such capital expenditure over its useful life
(including interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over the then current Prime
Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal), shall be included within
Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay its share thereof as provided in
paragraph 4 of this Lease.  Any determination of what constitutes a capital
expenditure and what is the useful life of a capital expenditure, as such terms
are used in this paragraph 60, shall be made by Landlord in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Any capital expenditure which costs
less than $50,000.00 does not have to be amortized over its useful life, but may
be charged and passed through as an Operating Expense in the year incurred.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed and delivered this
Lease on the date first above written.

Landlord:                          Tenant:

                             RULES AND REGULATIONS

     1.  The sidewalks, halls, passages, exists, entrances, elevators,
escalators, if any, and stairways of the Project shall not be obstructed by any
of the tenants or used by them for any purpose other than for ingress to and
egress from their respective premises.  The halls, passages, exits, entrances,
elevators, escalators and stairways are not for the general public, and Landlord
shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto of all
persons whose presence in the judgment of Landlord would be prejudicial to the
safety, character, reputation and interests of the Project and its tenants,
provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access
to persons with whom any tenant normally deals in the ordinary course of its
business, unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities.   No tenant and
no employee or invitee of any tenant shall go upon the roof of the building.

     2.  Except as authorized by a lease, no sign, placard, picture, name,
advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of any tenant's premises shall
be inscribed, painted, affixed or otherwise displaced by any tenant on any part
of such premises or the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord.
All approved signs or lettering on doors shall be printed, painted, affixed or
inscribed at the expense of the tenant by a person approved by Landlord.
Material visible from outside the building will not be permitted.

     3.  The premises shall not be used for the storage of merchandise held for

accordance with all applicable federal, state and city laws, codes, ordinances,
rules and regulations.

     4.  No tenant shall employ any person or persons other than the janitor of
Landlord for the purpose of cleaning the premises, unless otherwise agreed to by
Landlord in writing.  Except with the written consent of Landlord, no person or

each additional key provided to tenant.  No tenant shall have any keys made or
duplicated.  No tenant shall alter and lock or install a new or additional lock
or any bolt on any door of its premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord.  If Landlord consents to such installation, the tenant shall in each
case furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.  Each tenant, upon the
termination of its tenancy, shall deliver to Landlord all keys to doors in the
building which shall have been furnished to tenant.

     6.  Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the maximum weight, size and
position of all equipment, materials, furniture or other property brought into

property from any cause, and all damage done to the Premises or the Project by
moving or maintaining such property shall be repaired at the expense of the
tenant.  The persons employed to move such property in or out of the Premises or
Project must be approved by Landlord in advance.

     7.  No tenant shall use or keep in the Premises or the Project any
kerosene, gasoline or inflammable or combustible fluid or material other than
limited quantities thereof reasonably necessary for the operation or maintenance
of office equipment, or without Landlord's prior written approval, use any
method of heating or air conditioning other than that supplied by Landlord.  No
tenant shall use or keep or permit to be used or kept any foul or noxious gas or
substance in the premises, or permit or suffer the premises to be occupied or
used in a manner offensive or objectionable to Landlord or other occupants of
the Project by reason of noise, odors or vibration; or interfere in any way with
other tenants or those having business therein.

     8.  The directory for each building in the Project is provided for the
display of the name and location of tenants and a reasonable number of the
principal officers and employees of tenants as determined by Landlord, and

additional name which a tenant shall desire to place upon said bulletin board
must first be approved by Landlord, and, if so approved, charge will be made
therefor.

     9.  No curtains, draperies, blinds, shutters, shades, screens or other

food, beverage, towel or other similar services,

                                       2
<PAGE>

except at such reasonable hours and under such reasonable regulations as may be
fixed by Landlord.

     11.  Each tenant shall see that the doors of its premises are closed and
locked and that all water faucets, water apparatus and utilities are shut off
before tenant or tenant's employees leave the premises, so as to prevent waste
or damage.  On multiple-tenant floors, the tenants shall keep the doors to the
building corridors closed at all times except for ingress and egress.

     12.  The toilet rooms, toilets, urinals, wash bowls and other apparatus
shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were
constructed, no foreign substance of any kind whatsoever shall be thrown therein
and the expense of any breakage, stoppage or damage resulting from the violation
of this rule shall be borne by the tenant who, or whose employees or invitees,
shall have caused it.

     13.  Except with the prior written consent of Landlord, no tenant shall
sell, or permit the sale at retail, of newspapers, magazines, periodicals,
