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

A.     Obligations  of  IRI.

(i)     Upon  execution  of  this  Agreement,  IRI  shall deliver to Hun, or his
assigns,  the  sum  of  ten  thousand  dollars  (US$10,000).

and  causes  of  action,  known  or  unknown,  which  IRI and Century may now or
hereafter  have or claim to have against Hun arising out of or pertaining to the
subject  matter  of  the Dispute.  This release of claims and defenses shall not
alter  the  prospective  duties  between  the  parties  under  this  Agreement.

<PAGE>
4.     Scope  of  Release.  Each  Party  acknowledges  and agrees that this
       -------------------
Agreement  applies to all claims that any Party may have against the other Party
relating  to  the  subject matter of the Dispute, including, but not limited to,
causes  of  action, injuries, damages, claims for costs or losses to any Party's
person  and  property,  real  or  personal,  whether those injuries, damages, or
losses  are  known or unknown, foreseen or unforseen, or patent or latent.  This
Agreement  is  not  intended  to,  nor  shall  it, alter or modify any rights or
obligations  of  the  Parties under any other agreements not mentioned herein to
which  the  Parties  may  be  a  party.

5.     Section  1542  Release.  It is understood and agreed by Hun, IRI and
       -----------------------
Century,  and each of them, that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code
of  California,  which  provides  as  follows:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect  to  exist  in  his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known  by  him  must  have  materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

are  hereby  expressly  waived.  Each  of  Hun, IRI and Century acknowledges and
agrees that each understands the consequences of a waiver of Section 1542 of the
California  Civil Code and assumes full responsibility for any and all injuries,
damages,  losses  or liabilities that may hereinafter arise out of or be related
to  matters  released  hereunder.  Each  of Hun, IRI and Century understands and
acknowledges  that  the  significance  and consequence of this waiver of Section
1542  of  the  Civil  Code  is  that even if such party should eventually suffer
additional  damages arising out of the Dispute, he will not be permitted to make
any  claim  for  those  damages.  Furthermore,  each  of  Hun,  IRI  and Century
acknowledges  that  they intend these consequences even as to claims for damages
that  may  exist  as  of  the  date of this Agreement but which they do not know
exists,  and  which, if known, would materially affect their decision to execute
this  Agreement,  regardless of whether their lack of knowledge is the result of
ignorance,  oversight,  error,  negligence,  or  any  other  cause.

6.     Confidentiality.  Each  Party  hereto  will  hold and will cause its
       ----------------
consultants  and  advisors  to  hold  in  strict confidence, unless compelled to
disclose  by  judicial  or  administrative  process  or,  in  the opinion of its
counsel,  by other requirements of law, all documents and information concerning
any  other  Party  furnished  it  by  such other Party or its representatives in
connection  with  the  subject  matter of the Dispute (except to the extent that
such  information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by the Party to
which  it  was  furnished,  (ii)  in  the public domain through no fault of such
Party, or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party to which
it  was furnished), and each Party will not release or disclose such information
to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers
and  other  consultants  and  advisors  in connection with this Agreement.  Each
Party  shall  be  deemed  to  have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential
information  concerning  or supplied by the other Party if it exercises the same
care  as  it  takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.

7.     No Representations.  Each Party acknowledges and represents that, in
       ------------------
executing  this  Agreement,  such  Party  has  not  relied  on  any inducements,
promises,  or  representations  made  by  any Party or any party representing or
serving  such  Party,  unless  expressly  set  forth  herein.

8.     Disputed  Claim.  This  Agreement  pertains  to a disputed claim and
       ---------------
does  not  constitute  an  admission  of liability by any Party for any purpose.

<PAGE>
9.     Covenant  Re:  Assignment.  The  Parties  hereto,  and each of them,
       -------------------------
represent  and  warrant  to each other that each is the sole and lawful owner of
all  right, title and interest in and to every claim and other matter which each
purports  to  release  herein,  and  that  they  have not heretofore assigned or
transferred,  or  purported  to  assign  or  transfer,  to  any  person,  firm,
association,  corporation  or  other entity, any right, title or interest in any
such  claim  or  other matter.   In the event that such representation is false,
and  any  such  claim or matter is asserted against any Party hereto (and/or the
successor  of  such  Party)  by  any  Party  or  entity  who  is the assignee or
transferee  of  such  claim  or  matter  shall  fully indemnify, defend and hold
harmless  the  Party  against  who  such  claim  or  matter is asserted (and its
successors)  from  and  against  such claim or matter and from all actual costs,
fees,  expenses,  liabilities,  and  damages  which  that  Party  (and/or  its
successors)  incurs  as  a  result  of  the  assertion  of such claim or matter.

partners,  employees,  agents,  servants,  heirs,  administrators,  executors,
successors,  representatives  and  assigns.

        ----------------
and  attorneys'  fees  except  as  follows:

remedy, prevent or obtain relief from a breach of this Agreement, arising out of
a  breach  of  this Agreement, involving claims within the scope of the releases
contained in this Agreement, or pertaining to a declaration of rights under this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  Party  shall recover all of such Party's attorneys'
fees and costs incurred in each and every such action, suit or other proceeding,
including  any  and  all  appeals  or  petitions  therefrom.

     (b)     As  used  herein,  attorneys' fees shall be deemed to mean the full
and actual costs of any legal services actually performed in connection with the
Dispute  involved,  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the usual fee charged by the
attorneys  performing  such  services.

14.     Choice of Law; Venue.  This Agreement and the rights of the parties

2.     PREMISES.   Sublessor  hereby subleases to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby
subleases  from  Sublessor  for  the  term,  at  the  rental,  and  upon all the
conditions  set forth herein, that certain portion of the real property situated

until  May  31, 2002, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.

     3.2     DELAY  IN COMMENCEMENT.  Notwithstanding said commencement date, if
for  any reason Sublessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Sublessee
on  said  date,  Sublessor  shall not be subject to any liability therefore, nor
shall  such  failure  affect  the  validity  of this Lease or the obligations of
Sublessee  hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case Sublessee shall
not  be  obligated  to  pay  rent until possession of the Premise is tendered to
Sublessee;  provided,  however,  that  if  Sublessor  shall  not  have delivered
possession  of  the Premises within sixty (60) days from said commencement date,
Sublessee  may,  at Sublessee's option, by notice in writing to Sublessor within
ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Sublease, in which event the parties shall
be  discharged  from  all  obligations  thereunder.  If  Sublessee  occupies the
Premises prior to said commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all
provisions  hereof.  Such  occupancy  shall not advance the termination date and
Sublessee  shall pay rent for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth
below.

     5.2     COMPLIANCE  WITH  LAW.

     (a)     Sublessor  warrants to Sublessee that the Premises, in its existing
state  but  without regard to the use for which Sublessee will use the Premises,
does  not  violate  any  applicable building code regulation or ordinance at the
time  that  this  Sublease is executed.  In the event that it is determined that
this  warranty  has  been  violated,  then  it  shall  be  the obligation of the
Sublessor, after written notice from Sublessee, to promptly, at Sublessor's sole
cost  and expense, rectify any such violation.  In the event that Sublessee does
not  give to Sublessor written notice of the violation of this warranty within 1
year  from  the  commencement  of  the  term  of  this  Sublease,  it  shall  be
conclusively  deemed that such violation did not exist and the correction of the
same  shall  be  the  obligation  of  the  Sublessee.

     (b)     Except  as  provided  in  paragraph  6.2(a),  Sublessee  shall,  at
Sublessee's  expense,  comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules,  regulations,  orders, restrictions of record, and requirements in effect
during  the  term or any part of the term hereof regulating the use by Sublessee
of  the  Premises.  Sublessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in
any  manner  that  will tend to create waste or a nuisance or, if there shall be
more  than  one tenant of the building containing the Premises, which shall tend
to  disturb  such  other  tenants.

     5.3     CONDITION  OF  PREMISES.  Except  as  provided  in paragraph 6.2(a)
Sublessee hereby accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the date
of the execution hereof, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and
state  laws, ordinances, and regulations governing and regulating the use of the
Premises, and accepts this Sublease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed
thereby  and by any exhibits attached hereto Sublessee acknowledges that neither
Sublessor  nor Sublessor's agents have made any representation or warranty as to
the  suitability  of  the  Premises  for  the  conduct  of Sublessee's business.

6.     MASTER  LEASE.

     6.1     Sublessor  is  the  Lessee  of  the  Premises by virtue of a lease,
hereinafter  referred  to as the "Master Lease," dated January 26, 2000, wherein
Mangus  L.P.,  a  California  Limited  Partnership,  is  the Lessor, hereinafter

     6.2     This  Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate
to  the  Master  Lease.

     6.3     The  terms,  conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor and
Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of
the  Master  Lease  except  for  those  provisions of the Master Lease which are
directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of this Sublease
document  shall  control  over the Master Lease.  Therefore, for the purposes of
this  Sublease,  wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lessor" is used it shall
be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein and wherever in the Master Lease the word
"Lessee"  is  used  it  shall  be  deemed  to  mean  the  Sublessee  herein.

<PAGE>
     6.4     During the term of this Sublease and for all periods subsequent for
obligations  which  have  arisen  prior  to  the  termination  of this Sublease,
Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply with, for
the  benefit  of  Sublessor  and  Master  Lessor,  each  and every obligation of
Sublessor  under the Master Lease except for the following paragraphs, which are
excluded  therefrom:                  None

     6.5     The  obligations  that  Sublessee  has  assumed under paragraph 6.4
hereof  are  hereinafter  referred  to as the "Sublessee's Assumed Obligations."
The  obligations  that  Sublessee has not assumed under paragraph 6.4 hereof are
hereinafter  referred  to  as  the  "Sublessor's  Remaining  Obligations."

     6.6     Sublessee  shall  hold  Sublessor free and harmless of and from all
liability,  judgments,  costs,  damages, claims or demands, including reasonable
attorneys  fees,  arising  out  of Sublessee's failure to comply with or perform
Sublessee's  Assumed  Obligations.

     6.7     Sublessor  agrees  to  maintain  the Master Lease during the entire
term  of  this  Sublease,  subject,  however,  to any earlier termination of the
Master  Lease  without  the fault of the Sublessor and to comply with or perform
Sublessor's Remaining Obligations and to hold Sublessee free and harmless of and
from  all  liability, judgments, cost, damages, claims or demands arising out of
Sublessor's failure to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.

     6.8     Sublessor  represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease is in full
force  and  effect  and  that  no default exists on the part of any party to the
Master  Lease.

7.     ASSIGNMENT  OF  SUBLEASE  AND  DEFAULT.

     7.1     Sublessor  hereby  assigns  and  transfers  to  Master  Lessor  the
Sublessor's  interest  in  this  Sublease  and  all  rentals  and income arising
therefrom,  subject,  however,  to  terms  of  Paragraph  7.2  hereof.

     7.2     Master  Lessor,  by  executing  this  document, agrees that until a
default  shall  occur  in  the  performance of Sublessor's Obligations under the
Master  Lease,  that Sublessor may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing
under  this Sublease.  However, if Sublessor shall default in the performance of
its  obligations to Master Lessor then Master Lessor may, at its option, receive
and  collect  directly  from Sublessee, all rent owing and to be owed under this
Sublease  Master  Lessor  shall not by reason of this assignment of the Sublease
nor  by  reason  of  the  collection  of the rents from the Sublessee, be deemed
liable  to Sublessee for any failure of the Sublessor to perform and comply with
Sublessor's  Remaining  Obligations.

     7.3     Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Sublessee, upon
receipt  of  any  written  notice  from the Master Lessor stating that a default
exists  in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease, to
pay  to  Master  Lessor  the  rents  due  and  to become due under the Sublease.
Sublessor  agrees  that  Sublessee  shall  have  the right to rely upon any such
statement and request from Master Lessor and that Sublessee shall pay such rents
to  Master Lessor without any obligations or right to inquire as to whether such
default  exists  and  notwithstanding any notice from or claim from sublessor to
the  contrary  and  Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for
any  such  rents  so  paid  by  Sublessee.

<PAGE>
     7.4     No  changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease without
the  consent  of  Master  Lessor.

     7.5     Sublessee  may  assign  his  rights  under this document; provided,
however,  Sublessee  shall first obtain the written consent of Sublessor and, if
necessary,  Master  Lessor.  Sublessor  and/or  Master  Lessor have the right to
approve  or  reject  any  proposed  assignee  in  their  sole  discretion.

8.     CONSENT  OF  MASTER  LESSOR.

     8.1     In  the  event that the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain
the  consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor then, this Sublease
shall  not  be effective unless, within ten (10) days of the date hereof, Master
Lessor  signs  this  Sublease  thereby  giving  its  consent to this Subletting.

     8.2     In the event that the obligations of the Sublessor under the Master
Lease  have  been guaranteed by third parties then this Sublease, nor the Master
Lessor's  consent,  shall  not  be  effective unless, within 10 days of the date
hereof,  said guarantors sign this Sublease thereby giving guarantors consent to
this  Sublease  and  the  terms  thereof.

     8.3     In  the  event  that  Master  Lessor  does  not  give consent then:

     (a)     Such consent will not release Sublessor of its obligations or alter
the  primary  liability of Sublessor to pay the rent and perform and comply with
all  of  the  obligations  of  Sublessor to be performed under the Master Lease.

     (b)     The  acceptance  of rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or any one
else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor
of  any  provisions  of  the  Master  Lease.

     (c)     The  consent of this Sublease shall not constitute a consent to any
subsequent  subletting  or  assignment.

     (d)     In  the  event  of any default of Sublessor under the Master Lease,
Master  Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any guarantors or any one
else  liable  under  the  Master Lease or this Sublease without first exhausting
Master  Lessor's  remedies  against  any other person or entity liable hereon to
Master  Lessor.

     (e)     Master  Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignment
of  the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto
without  notifying  Sublessor nor any one else liable under the Master Lease and
without  obtaining  their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons
from  liability.  Any  change or modification of this document shall require the
written  consent  of  the  Master  Lessor.

     8.4     The signatures of the Master Lessor and any Guarantors of Sublessor
at  the end of this document shall constitute their consent to the terms of this
Sublease.

     8.5     Master  Lessor  acknowledges  that,  to the best of Master Lessor's
knowledge,  no default presently exists under the Master Lease of obligations to
be performed by Sublessor and that the Master Lease is in full force and effect.

     8.6     In  the  event  that Sublessor defaults under its obligations to be
performed  under  the Master Lease by Sublessor, Master Lessor agrees to deliver
to  Sublessee  a  copy  of any such notice of default.  Sublessee shall have the
right to cure any default of Sublessor described in any notice of default within
ten  days after service of such notice of default on Sublessee.  If such default
is  cured  by Sublessee then Sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and
offset  from  and  against  Sublessor.

     8.7     In  the  event  that  Master  Lessor  incurs  any  costs or fees in
connection  with  this  document  including,  but not limited to, attorneys' and
consultants'  fees,  Sublessee  shall  pay  such costs and fees if Master Lessor
should  demand  payment  of  the  same  by  Sublessor.

9.     ATTORNEY'S  FEES.  If  any  party  or  the  Broker named herein brings an
action  to  enforce  the  terms  hereof  or  to  declare  rights  hereunder, the
prevailing  party  in any such action, on trial and appeal, shall be entitled to
his  reasonable  attorney's  fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
Court.  The provision of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the Broker
named  herein  who  seeks  to  enforce  a  right  hereunder.

10.     LATE  CHARGES.   Sublessee  hereby  acknowledges  that  late  payment by
Sublessee  to  Sublessor of the Rent or any other obligations due hereunder will
cause  Sublessor  to  incur  costs  not contemplated by this document, the exact
amount  of  which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, if any
installment  of  Rent or any other sum due from installment of Rent or any other
sum  due  from  Sublessee  shall  not  be  received  by Sublessor or Sublessor's
designee  within  ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, then without any
requirement  for  notice  to  Sublessee, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor a late
charge  equal  to  six  percent (6%) of such overdue amount.  The parties hereby
agree  that  such  late  charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs  Sublessor  will incur by reason of late payment by Sublessee.  Acceptance
of  such  late  charge  by  Sublessor  shall  in no event constitute a waiver of
Sublessee's  default  with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Sublessor
from  exercising  any  of  his  other  rights  or  remedies  hereunder.

11.     INSURANCE.  Sublessee  shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or
about  the  Premises, nor bring or keep anything therein which is not within the
permitted  use of the Premises, which will in any way increase the existing rate
of  or  affect  any  fire  or  other  insurance  upon the Building or any of its
contents.  Sublessee shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises  which  will  in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other
tenants  or  occupants  of the Building or injure or annoy them nor use or allow
the  Premises  to  be  used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose,  nor  shall  Sublessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or
about  the  Premises.  Sublessee  shall not commit nor allow to be committed any
waste  in  or upon the Premises.  Sublessee shall maintain all insurance for the
Premises  as  required  under  the  Master  Lease.

are  recoverable  by  the  party  in whose favor such Judgment is rendered, as a
separate  item  of damages.  The provisions of this paragraph are severable from
the  other provisions of this Agreement and shall survive any such Judgment, and
the  provisions  of  this  paragraph  shall  not  be deemed merged into any such
Judgment.

Agreement,  in  order to become effective, must be made by written instrument or
endorsement thereon, and in each such instance, executed on behalf of each party

construed  or  held  to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the
same  or  any  other term, covenant or condition contained herein.  No waiver of
any  default  by  either  party hereto shall be implied from any omission by the
other  party  to  take  any  action  on  account of such default if such default
persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than
as  specified in such waiver.  The consent or approval by either party hereto to

subsequent  similar  acts.

null  or  void or against public policy, for any reason, or shall be held by any
court  of  competent  jurisdiction to be illegal, null or void or against public
policy,  then,  so  far  as  is  reasonable  and  possible:
