      Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall consist of two (2)
      separate percentages which shall be adjusted based on Tenant's Rentable

which amount is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable
Square Feet of the Premises (as set forth in Subparagraph 1.7 above), and the
denominator of which is the Rentable Square Feet of the Building (as set forth
in Subparagraph 1.6 above); and

            (b)   9.48%, which is Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project,
which amount is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable

      Proportionate Share of the Project (as set forth in Subparagraph 1.14(b)
      above), multiplied by the Project Operating Expenses.

      Commencement Date of the Lease and continuing on first through the third
      anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease thereafter, Tenant shall
      receive a credit to Basic Rent in the amount of 1/7 of the Security
      Deposit held by Landlord and on the fourth anniversary Tenant shall
      receive a credit equal to 2/7 of the security deposit and on the fifth
      anniversary Tenant shall receive a credit equal to 1/7 of the Security
      Deposit thereby reducing the Security Deposit at the end of this period to
      $84,000.00 where it will remain until the expiration of the Lease.

      this Lease in addition to the Annual Basic Rent described in Subparagraph
      5.1 above (including, without limitation, payments for insurance, repairs
      and Excess Expenses as provided in Paragraph 6) shall be considered
      additional rent for the purposes of this Lease, and the word "rent" in
      this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the

                                       4

<PAGE>

      context specifically or clearly implies that only the Annual Basic Rent is
      referenced. The Annual Basic Rent and additional rent shall be paid to
      Landlord as provided in Paragraph 9, without any prior demand therefore
      and without any deduction or offset whatever, in lawful money of the

            6.1 Excess Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner and
      at the times set forth in the following provisions of this Paragraph 6,
      the amount by which Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses
      (which consists of two (2) separate components as set forth in
      Subparagraph 1.14 above) exceeds Landlord's Contribution to Operating
      Expenses (which consists of two (2) separate components as set forth in
      Subparagraph 1.15 above). Such excess amounts shall be collectively
      referred to in this Paragraph 6 as "Excess Expenses".

            6.2 Definition of Operating Expenses. As used in this Lease, the
      term "Operating Expenses" shall mean collectively, the "Project Operating
      Expenses" and the "Building Operating Expenses." As used herein, "Building
      Operating Expenses" shall include all costs and expenses for janitorial
      services for the Building, all costs and expenses for utilities which are
      separately metered to the Building, and all other costs and expenses of
      operation and maintenance of the Building as determined by generally
      accepted accounting principles consistently applied, which Landlord may,
      from time to time, separately allocate to the Building, all of which shall
      be calculated assuming the Building is ninety five percent (95%) occupied
      (or calculated based on the actual level of occupancy for the calendar
      year in question if the Building is more than ninety five percent (95%)
      occupied) during such calendar year. As used herein, "Project Operating
      Expenses" shall include all costs and expenses of operation and
      maintenance of the Project, as determined by generally accepted accounting
      principles consistently applied, calculated assuming both buildings in the
      Project are ninety five percent (95%) occupied (or calculated based on the
      actual level of occupancy for the calendar year in question if the two (2)
      buildings in the Project are more than ninety five percent (95%) occupied)
      during such calendar year, excluding, however, the Building Operating
      Expenses for the two (2) buildings in the Project. Project Operating
      Expenses shall include the following costs by way of illustration but not

      management, operation and maintenance of the Project, (3) Project

      costs of any disputes between Landlord and its employees (if any) not
      engaged in Building operation, disputes of Landlord with Building

      tenants.

            (j)   any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons

            (k)   electric power costs for which any tenant directly contracts

shall be excluded from the denominator used for calculating Tenant's
Proportionate Share;

            (l)   costs arising from Landlord's charitable or political

            (m)   penalties incurred due to Landlord's failure to comply with

from Operating Expenses in the year in which they are received, except that any
deductible amount (of an amount otherwise qualifying as Operating Expense) under
any insurance policy shall be included within Operating Expenses.

            Landlord agrees that since one of the purposes of Operating Expenses
and the gross up provision is to allow Landlord to require Tenant to pay for the
costs attributable to its Premises, Landlord agrees that (i) Landlord will not
collect or be entitled to collect Operating Expenses not actually paid by
Landlord in connection with the operation of the Building or Project; (ii)
Landlord shall make no profit from Landlord's collection of Operating Expenses;
and (iii) Tenant's obligation to pay its proportionate share of any Real
Property Taxes and Assessments shall be calculated as if Landlord had paid same
in the maximum number of installments permitted (inclusive of interest charges,
if any, payable to the taxing authority if Landlord had paid same in the maximum
number of installments permitted), even if Landlord elected to make payment on a
lump sum basis or otherwise.

            6.4 Definition of Real Property Taxes and Assessments. All Real
      Property Taxes and Assessments shall be adjusted to reflect an assumption
      that the buildings in the Project are fully assessed for real property tax
      purposes as completed buildings ready for occupancy. As used in this
      Lease, the term "Real Property Taxes and Assessments" shall mean: any form
      of assessment, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial
      rental tax, levy, charge, improvement bond, tax or similar imposition
      imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any
      city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural,
      lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district
      thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the
      Project, including the following by way of illustration but not
      limitation:

            (a)   any tax on Landlord's "right" to rent or "right" to other
income from the Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the
Premises;

            (b)   any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution,
partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously
included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by
Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the state
of California in June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies

                                       7

<PAGE>

and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire
protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other
governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or
occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and
increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the
definition of "real property taxes" for the purpose of this Lease;

            (c)   Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or
measured by the area of the Premises or other premises in the Project or the
rent payable by Tenant hereunder or other tenants of the Project, including,
without limitation, any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by state, city
or federal government, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the
receipt of such rent, or 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 but not on Landlord's other
operations;

            (d)   any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge upon this transaction
or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest
or an estate in the Premises; and/or

            (e)   any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge by any governmental
agency related to any transportation plan, fund or system (including assessment
districts) instituted within the geographic area of which the Project is a part.

            If Landlord fails to contest the validity of any tax or assessment
which Landlord is legally entitled to contest, or if Landlord elects not to
contest any tax assessment within thirty (30) days of Tenant's request that
Landlord do so, Tenant shall have the right, in Tenant's or Landlord's name, but
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to contest the validity of any tax or
assessment or assessed valuation of the Building by appropriate proceedings
timely instituted; provided that: (a) Tenant gives Landlord written notice of
Tenants' intention to do so prior to the date on which Tenant is obligated to
pay the next semi-annual installment of such taxes to the taxing authority; (b)
Tenant makes timely payment to Landlord of any Real Property Taxes and
Assessments payable by Tenant under this Lease; (C) no later than thirty (30)
days prior to the date on which Landlord is obligated to pay the next
semi-annual installment of such taxes to the taxing authority, Tenant requests
Landlord, in writing, to pay such taxes under protest; and Tenant diligently
prosecutes any such contest. Landlord shall, if requested by Tenant, cooperate
with Tenant in any such proceedings; provided, however, that Landlord shall not
be liable for any expenses whatsoever in connection therewith, and Tenant shall
protect, indemnify, and reimburse Landlord for all claims, loss, cost,
liability, expense, attorneys' fees or damages resulting therefrom. If Tenant
prevails in such tax contest, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days following
Landlord's receipt of the refund of any overpaid taxes, pay to Tenant Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the net amount of any such overpaid taxes which were paid
by Tenant during the Lease Term, minus any expenses incurred in connection with
any such tax contest.

            The foregoing provisions of this Subparagraph 6.4 above shall not
include Landlord's federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate
taxes.

            6.5 Estimate Statement. By the first day of each calendar year
      during the Term of this Lease after the Base Year, Landlord shall endeavor
      to deliver to Tenant a statement ("Estimate Statement" ) estimating the
      Operating Expenses for the current calendar year and the estimated amount
      of Excess Expenses payable by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right during
      any calendar year to deliver a revised Estimate Statement showing the
      Excess Expenses for such calendar year if Landlord determines that the
      Excess Expenses are greater than those set forth in the original Estimate
      Statement (or previously delivered revised Estimate Statement) for such
      calendar year. The Excess Expenses shown on the Estimate Statement (or
      revised Estimate Statement, as applicable) shall be divided into twelve
      (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
      concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the
      receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as
      applicable), an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of such Excess
      Expenses multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar
      year in which such statement is submitted to the month of such payment,
      both months inclusive (less any amounts previously paid by Tenant with
      respect to any previously

                                       8
<PAGE>

      delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement for such
      calendar year, Installments shall be paid concurrently with the regular
      monthly rent payments for the balance of the calendar year and shall
      continue until the next calendar year's Estimate Statement (or current
      calendar year's revised Estimate Statement) is received.

            6.6 Actual Statement. By the first day of April of each succeeding
      calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall endeavor to
      deliver to Tenant a substantially detailed statement ("Actual Statement")
      of the actual Operating Expenses and Excess Expenses for the immediately
      preceding calendar year. Landlord shall show by account the total
      Operating Expenses including detailed Excess Expense for the
      Building/Project and all adjustments corresponding to the requirements as
      set forth herein. Landlord shall provide in reasonable detail its
      calculation of Tenant's prorata share of Building/Project Operating
      Expenses, including Landlord's computation setting forth the ratio of the
      Premises rentable square feet to the Building/Project rentable square feet
      stated in 1.14(a) and (b). If the Actual Statement reveals that Excess
      Expenses were overstated or understated in any Estimate Statement (or
      revised Estimate Statement) previously delivered by Landlord pursuant to
      Subparagraph 6.5 above, then within thirty (30) days after delivery of the
      Actual Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such
      underpayment, or, Landlord shall pay to Tenant (or credit against the next
      monthly rent falling due), the amount of such overpayment, as the case may
      be.

            6.7 No Release. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any
      Estimate Or Actual Statement pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall not
      constitute a waiver of its right to receive Tenant's payment of Excess
      Expenses, nor shall it relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Excess
      Expenses pursuant to this Paragraph 6, except that Tenant shall not be
      obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate or Actual Statement
      until thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement.

            6.8 Tenant's Audit Rights. If Tenant disputes the amount of
      Operating Expenses (including Tenant's Base Year) set forth in any Actual
      Statement delivered by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, at its own
      cost and expense to audit or inspect Landlord's detailed records each year
      with respect to Building/Project Operating Expenses, as well as all other
      additional rent payable by Tenant pursuant to the Lease for any Lease Year
      (not to exceed one time per year) to be exercised, if at all, not later
      than eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Actual Statement.
      Pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord shall be obligated to keep such
      records for all Lease Years associated with this Lease until two (2) years
      following the termination of the Lease including any Lease Year prior to
      the Landlord's ownership of the Building/Project. Tenant shall be allowed
      to inspect such records with fifteen (15) days prior written notice at
      Landlord's office. The amounts payable under Subparagraph 6.6 by Landlord
      to Tenant or by Tenant to Landlord as the case may be shall be
      appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If Tenant's audit
      determines that actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by more
      than four percent (4%), then Landlord shall immediately repay such
      overpayment and to Tenant, and Landlord shall also pay Tenant for the cost
      of such audit Should a dispute arise between the parties regarding the
      results of Tenant's audit, either party may cause the dispute to be
      submitted to JAMS/ENDISPUTE ("JAMS") in Orange County, California, for
      binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
      the rules of practice and procedure of JAMS and otherwise pursuant to the
      California Arbitration Act (Code of Civil Procedures Section 1280 et.
      seq.). The arbitrator shall apportion the costs of the arbitration,
      together with the attorneys' fees of the parties, in the manner deemed
      equitable by the arbitrator, it being the intention of the parties that
      the prevailing party ordinarily be entitled to recover its reasonable
      costs and fees.

      7. Security Deposit.

            7.1 Use of Deposit. Tenant, contemporaneously with the execution of
      this Lease, has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in Subparagraph
      1.16 above, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Landlord, said
      deposit being given to secure the faithful

                                       9

<PAGE>

      performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
      this Lease by Tenant to be kept and performed during the term hereof.
      Tenant agrees that if Tenant shall fail to pay the rent or any other sum
      herein required promptly when due, said deposit may, at the option of
      Landlord (but Landlord shall not be required to), be applied to any rent
      or other sum due and unpaid, and if Tenant violates any of the other
      terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, said deposit shall be
      applied to any damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's
      default to the extent of the amount of the damages suffered.

            7.2 No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall in any way
      diminish or be construed as waiving any of Landlord's other remedies as
      provided in Paragraph 25 hereof, or by law or in equity. Should the entire
      security deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by
      Landlord for the payment of overdue rent or other sums due and payable to
      Landlord by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall, on the written demand of
      Landlord, forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to
      restore said security deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure
      to do so within fifteen (15) days after the date of such statement of
      demand shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. Should Tenant
      comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and
      promptly pay all of the rental herein provided for as it falls due, and
      all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, said security
      deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant within fifteen (15) days at
      the end of the term of this Lease, or upon the earlier termination of this
      Lease pursuant to the provisions hereof, except in the event the demised
      premises are sold as a result of the exercise of any power of sale under
      any mortgage or deed of trust, in which event this Lease shall be
      automatically amended to delete any reference to this Paragraph 7, and
      Tenant shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of its security
      deposit from the party then holding said deposit.

      8. Use.

            8.1 General. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted
      Use specified in Subparagraph 1.17, and shall not use or permit the
      Premises to be used for any other use or purpose whatsoever, without first
      obtaining Landlord's written consent which may be granted or withheld by
      Landlord in its absolute discretion. Tenant shall observe and comply with
      the "Rules and Regulations" attached hereto as Exhibit "F", and all
      non-discriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time
      to time put into effect and furnished to Tenant by Landlord. Landlord
      shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by
      any other tenant or occupant of the Project or the Building of any such
      Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall also observe and comply with all
      requirements of any board of fire underwriters or similar body relating to
      the Premises, and all laws, rules and regulations of all governmental
      agencies having jurisdiction. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises
      to be used (a) in violation of any recorded covenants, conditions and
      restrictions affecting, the Site, provided Landlord advises Tenant in
      writing of such recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions or of any
      law or governmental rule or regulation, or of any certificate of occupancy
      issued for the Premises or Building, or (b) for any improper, immoral,
      unlawful or reasonably objectionable purpose. Tenant shall not do or
      permit to be done anything which will obstruct or interfere with the
      rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project or the Building, or
      injure or annoy them. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any
      nuisance in, on or about the Premises, the Building, the Project or the
      Site, nor commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the
      Premises.

            8.2 Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done
      anything which will (a) violate or invalidate any insurance policy
      maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or (b) increase the costs of
      any insurance policy maintained by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 23 or
      otherwise with respect to the Building, Site or Project. If Tenant's
      occupancy or conduct of its business in or on the Premises results in any
      increase in premiums for any insurance carried by Landlord with respect to
      the Building, Site or Project, Tenant shall pay such increase as
      additional rent within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefore by
      Landlord. If any insurance coverage carried by Landlord pursuant to
      Paragraph 23 or otherwise with respect to the Building, Site or Project
      shall be cancelled or reduced (or cancellation or reduction

                                       10

<PAGE>

      thereof shall be threatened) by reason of the use or occupancy of the
      Premises by Tenant or by anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the
      Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy such condition within five (5)
      business days after notice thereof (or, in the case of a condition which
      is not objectively capable of being cured within five (5) business days,
      if Tenant fails to commence such cure within five (5) business days or
      fails to diligently and continuously prosecute such cure to completion
      within a reasonable time not to exceed the time period established by the
      insurance carrier), Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this
      Lease, and Landlord shall have all remedies provided in this Lease, at law
      or in equity, including, without limitation, the right (but not the
      obligation) to enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such
      condition at Tenant's cost.

      9. Payments and Notices. All rent and other sums payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall be paid to Landlord at the first address designated in
Subparagraph 1.2, or to such other persons and/or at such other places as
Landlord may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice required or permitted to
be given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery
(including delivery by nationally recognized overnight courier or express
mailing service), or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed to Tenant at the address(es) designated in
Subparagraph 1.4, or to Landlord at the address(es) designated in Subparagraph
1.2. Either party may, by written notice to the other, specify a different
address for notice purposes.

      10. Brokers. The parties recognize that the broker(s) who negotiated this
Lease are stated in Subparagraph 1.18, and agree that Landlord shall be solely
responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to said broker(s) as per
separate agreement and that Tenant shall have no responsibility therefore unless
written provision to the contrary has been made. Each party represents and
warrants to the other that, to its knowledge, no other broker, agent or finder
(a) negotiated or was instrumental in negotiating or consummating this Lease on
its behalf, and (b) is or might be entitled to a commission or compensation in
connection with this Lease. Any broker, agent or finder of Tenant whom Tenant
has failed to disclose herein shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify,
defend (by counsel reasonably approved in writing by Landlord) and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of
action, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
court costs) resulting from any breach by Tenant of the foregoing
representation, including, without limitation, any claims that may be asserted
against Landlord by any broker, agent or finder undisclosed by Tenant herein.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably approved in writing by
Tenant) and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments,
suits, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and court costs) resulting from any breach by Landlord of the
foregoing representation, including, without limitation, any claims that may be
asserted against Tenant by any broker, agent or finder undisclosed by Landlord
herein. The foregoing indemnities shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

                                       11

<PAGE>

      11. Surrender: Holding Over.

            11.1 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or sooner
      termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys for the
      Premises to Landlord, and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord
      broom clean and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear
      excepted (and casualty damage excepted), with all of Tenant's personal
      property (and those items, if any, of Leasehold Improvements and Tenant
      Changes identified by Landlord pursuant to Subparagraph 14.2 below)
      removed therefrom and all damage caused by such removal repaired, as
      required pursuant to Subparagraphs 14.2 and 14.3 below. If Tenant fails to
      surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this
      Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord (including upon the expiration
      of any subsequent month-to-month tenancy pursuant to Subparagraph 11.2
      below), with such removal and repair obligations completed, then, in
      addition to the Landlord's rights and remedies under Subparagraph 14.4 and
      the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend with
      counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from
      all loss or liability including, without limitation, any claims made by
      any succeeding tenant based thereon. The foregoing indemnity shall survive
      the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

            11.2 Hold Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term of
      this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a
      tenancy from month to month, cancelable upon thirty (30) days written
      notice, and upon the same terms and conditions as exist during the last
      year of the term hereof except the Annual Basic Rent shall be increased to
      one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Annual Basic Rent during the last
      year of the term hereof or to fair market value, whichever is greater. Any
      holding over after the expiration of the term of this Lease, without the
      consent of Landlord, shall result in Tenant being a tenant at sufferance,
      in which event Landlord shall have the right to immediately terminate this
      Lease and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from
      any and all costs, liabilities, obligations, damages and claims resulting
      therefrom.

            ll.3 No Effect on Landlord's Rights. The foregoing provisions of
      this Paragraph 11 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord's right
      of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise
      provided by law or equity.

      12. Taxes on Tenant's Property. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay
before delinquency, all taxes and assessments (real and personal) levied against
(a) any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the
Premises (including any increase in the assessed value of the Premises based
upon the value of any such personal property or trade fixtures); and (b) any
Leasehold Improvements or alterations in the Premises (whether installed and/or
paid for by Landlord or Tenant) to the extent such items are assessed at a
valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to
the Building standard tenant improvements set forth in Schedule "1" to Exhibit
"D" are assessed. If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord
or Landlord's property, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant (and under
proper protest if requested by Tenant) pay such taxes and assessments, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefore within ten (10) business days after
demand by Landlord; provided, however, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall have the right, with Landlord's cooperation, to bring suit in any court of
competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes and assessments
so paid under protest.

      13. Condition Of Premises; Repairs.

            13.1 Condition of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that, except as
      otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any
      agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to
      the Premises, the Building, the Site or the Project or their condition, or
      with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of Tenant's
      business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall
      conclusively establish that the Project, the Site, the Premises, the
      Leasehold Improvements therein, the Building and the Common Areas were at
      such time complete and in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and
      repair with all work required to be performed by Landlord, if any,
      pursuant to Exhibit "D" completed and

      without any obligation on Landlord's part to make any alterations,
      upgrades or improvements thereto, except as provided in Exhibit "D" and
      the repair of any latent defects in the Building or Premises (excluding
      any portion of the Premises constructed by Tenant) disclosed by Tenant and
      specified in written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the
      Commencement Date. Landlord shall cause all latent defects so specified by
      notice from Tenant to be completed and/or repaired as soon as reasonably
      possible after Landlord's receipt thereof.

            13.2 Tenant's Repair Obligations. Except for Landlord's obligations
      specifically set forth in Subparagraphs 13.1,13.3, 20.1 and 21.2 hereof,
      Tenant shall at all times and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep,
      maintain, repair and preserve the Premises and all Leasehold Improvements,
      Tenant Changes, and any alterations, additions and property therein in
      first-class condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Such
      maintenance and repairs shall be performed with due diligence, lien-free
      and in a first-class workmanlike manner, by such contractor(s) selected by
      Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease,
      Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair,
      renovate, redecorate or paint all or any part of the Premises.

            13.3 Landlord's Repair Obligations. Notwithstanding the provisions
      of Subparagraph 13.2 above to the contrary, Landlord shall, as part of the
      Operating Expenses, repair and maintain in a good condition (a) the
      Building's shell and other structural portions of the Building (including
      the roof and foundations), (b) the basic plumbing, heating, ventilating,
      air conditioning, sprinkler and electrical systems within the Building's
      core and (c) the Common Areas; provided, however, to the extent such
      maintenance or repairs are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault
      or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, contractors,
      licensees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent,
      the costs of such maintenance and repairs.

            13.4 Tenant's Waiver; Self-Help. Tenant waives the right to make
      repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or
      hereafter in effect (including the provisions of California Civil Code
      Section 1942 and any successive sections or statutes of a similar nature).

      14. Alterations.

            14.1 Tenant Changes: Conditions. After installation of the initial
      Leasehold Improvements for the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", Tenant
      may, at its sole cost and expense, make alterations, additions,
      improvements and decorations to the Premises (collectively, "Tenant
      Changes") subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

            (a)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Paragraph 14 to the
contrary, Tenant is absolutely prohibited from making any alterations,
additions, improvements or decorations which: (i) affect any area outside the
Premises; (ii) affect the Building's structure, or detrimentally affect any
equipment or systems, or the proper functioning thereof, or Landlord's access
thereto; (iii) affect the outside appearance, character or use of the Project,
the Building or the Common Areas; (iv) weaken or impair the structural strength
of the Building; (v) in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, lessen the value of
the Project or Building; or (vi) will violate or require a change in any
occupancy certificate applicable to the Premises.

            (b)   Before proceeding with any Tenant Change which is not
otherwise prohibited in Subparagraph 14.1(a) above, Tenant must first obtain
Landlord's written approval thereof (including approval of all plans,
specifications and working drawings for such Tenant Change), which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, Landlord's prior
approval shall not be required for any Tenant Change (i) which, when combined
with all of Tenant's other Tenant Changes over a twelve-month period do not, in
the aggregate, cost more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); (ii) provided
that Tenant delivers to Landlord final plans, specifications and working
drawings for such Tenant Change at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of
the work thereof; and (iii) further provided that Tenant and such Tenant Change
otherwise satisfy all other conditions set forth in this Subparagraph 14.1.

                                       13

<PAGE>

            (c)   After Landlord has approved the Tenant Changes and the plans,
specifications and working drawings therefore, Tenant shall: (i) enter into an
agreement for the performance of such Tenant Changes with such contractors and
subcontractors selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) before proceeding with any Tenant
Change, provide Landlord with ten (10) days' prior written notice thereof; and
(iii) pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after written demand, the costs
of any increased insurance premiums incurred by Landlord to include such Tenant
Changes in the fire and extended coverage insurance obtained by Landlord
pursuant to Paragraph 23 below. However, Landlord shall be required to include
the Tenant Changes under such insurance only to the extent such insurance is
actually obtained by Landlord and such Tenant Changes are insurable under such
insurance; if such Tenant Changes are not or cannot be included in Landlord's
insurance, Tenant shall insure the Tenant Changes under its casualty insurance
pursuant to Subparagraph 22.1(a) below. In addition, before proceeding with any
Tenant Change, Tenant's contractors shall obtain, on behalf of Tenant and at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, all necessary governmental permits and approvals
for the commencement and completion of such Tenant Change.

            (d)   Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the
reasonable costs of Landlord's engineers and other consultants (but not
Landlord's on-site management personnel) for review of all plans,
specifications and working drawings for the Tenant Changes, within fifteen
(15) business days after Tenant's receipt of invoices either from Landlord or
such consultants.

            (e)   All Tenant Changes shall be performed: (i) in accordance with
the approved plans, specifications and working drawings; (ii) lien-free and in a
first-class and workmanlike manner; (iii) in compliance with all laws, rules,
and regulations of all governmental agencies and authorities; (iv) in such a
manner so as not to interfere with the occupancy of any other tenant in the
Project or Building, nor impose any additional expense upon nor delay Landlord
in the maintenance and operation of the Project or Building; and (v) at such
times, in such manner and subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord may
from time to time reasonably designate.

            (f)   Throughout the performance of the Tenant Changes, Tenant shall
obtain, or cause its contractors to obtain, workers compensation insurance and
general liability insurance in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 22 of
this Lease.

            14.2 Removal of Tenant Changes and Leasehold Improvements. All
      Tenant Changes and the initial Leasehold Improvements in the Premises
      (whether installed or paid for by Landlord or Tenant), shall become the
      property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the
      Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease. Landlord's, consent to the
      initial Leasehold Improvements shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to
      remove such Leasehold Improvements at the expiration or sooner termination
      of this Lease, unless, at the time Landlord consents to such Leasehold
      Improvements, Landlord indicates that it will require removal of such
      Leasehold Improvements on the expiration or sooner termination of this
      Lease. If Tenant so desires, Tenant may, prior to making any Tenant
      Changes (regardless of whether Landlord's consent to such Tenant Changes
      is required), request Landlord to notify Tenant, in writing, within ten
      (10) days following receipt of Tenant's request, as to whether Landlord
      will require the removal of such Tenant Changes and restoration of the
      Premises to the condition which existed prior to the performance of any
      such Tenant Changes. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant's request, in
      writing, within such ten (10) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have
      elected to require that such Tenant Changes not be removed and the
      Premises restored as of the expiration or sooner termination of the Term
      of this Lease. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any such items as
      described above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove the identified
      items on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and
      repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal (or, at
      Landlord's option, shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord's costs of such
      removal and repair).

                                       14

<PAGE>

            14.3 Removal of Personal Property. All articles of personal property
      owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises
      (including business and trade fixtures, furniture and movable partitions)
      shall be, and remain, the property of Tenant, and shall be removed by
      Tenant from the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, on or before
      the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall repair
      any damage caused by such removal.

            14.4 Tenant's Failure to Remove. If Tenant fails to remove by the
      expiration or sooner termination of this Lease substantially all of its
      personal property, or any items of Leasehold Improvements or Tenant
      Changes identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Subparagraph 14.2
      above, Landlord may, after Tenant's continued failure after ten (10) days
      written notice to Tenant, and at its option, treat such failure as a hold
      over pursuant to Subparagraph 11.2 above, and/or may (without liability to
      Tenant for loss thereof), at Tenant's sole cost and in addition to
      Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in
      equity: (a) remove and store such items; and/or (b) upon an additional ten
      (10) days' prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items at private
      or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain. Landlord shall apply
      the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this
      Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other costs
      incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any
      remainder to be paid to Tenant.

      15. Liens. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's, materialmen's or other
liens to be filed against all or any part of the Project, the Site, the Building
or the Premises, nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises, by
reason of or in connection with any repairs, alterations, improvements or other
work contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any other act or omission of
Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, provide Landlord with enforceable, conditional and
final lien releases (and other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord to
demonstrate protection from liens) from all persons furnishing labor and/or
materials with respect to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all
reasonable times to post on the Premises and record any notices of
non-responsibility which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If
any such liens are filed, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, immediately cause such
lien to be released of record or bonded so that it no longer affects title to
the Project, the Site, the Building or the Premises. If Tenant fails to cause
such lien to be so released or bonded within ten (10) days after filing thereof,
such failure shall be deemed a material breach by Tenant under this Lease, and
Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach, and
without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such lien to be
released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of
the claim giving rise to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to
remove such liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of
such payment by Landlord.

      16. Assignment and Subletting.

            16.1 General. Assignment or encumbrance of all or any part of this
      Lease, and any sublease of all or any part of the Premises, shall only be
      permitted, in conformance with the provisions of this Paragraph 16.

            16.2 Restriction on Transfer. Subject to the provisions of
      Subparagraphs 16.3, 16.4, 16.5 and 16.6, Tenant shall not, without the
      prior written consent of Landlord, assign or encumber this Lease or any
      interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the
      use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (any such
      assignment, encumbrance, sublease or the like shall sometimes be referred
      to as a "Transfer"). Any Transfer without Landlord's consent (except for a
      Transfer pursuant to Subparagraph 16.6 below) shall constitute a default
      by Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord's other
      remedies at law, in equity or under this Lease, such Transfer shall be
      voidable at Landlord's election. For purposes of this Paragraph 16, if
      Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer,
      assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of twenty-five percent (25%) or
      more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership
      interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or
      encumbrance of any

                                       15

<PAGE>

      controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity shall be deemed an
      assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of the restrictions
      and provisions contained in this Paragraph 16; unless Tenant (i) notifies
      Landlord of such Transfer, (ii) demonstrates to Landlord's reasonable
      satisfaction that such Transfer does not constitute a change in control of
      Tenant, and (iii) promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or
      information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer
      and/or transferee. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to
      any transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation
      and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange
      or over-the-counter market or as a part of going public Tenant transfers
      25% or more, provided that no new stockholder acquires more than 25% stock
      ownership, unless such ownership acquisition does not constitute, in
      Landlord's reasonable discretion, a change in control of Tenant. However,
      notwithstanding the prior sentence to the contrary, Tenant shall be able
      to conclusively prove to Landlord that no change in control has occurred
      by showing that a preexisting shareholder held and continues to hold an
      ownership interest in Tenant that is greater than the shareholder
      acquiring a new 25% interest in Tenant and that through such ownership
      such existing shareholder possesses the power to control Tenant. For
      purposes of this Section, the term "control" (including "controls",
      "controlled by" and "under common control with" shall mean the power,
      whether direct or indirect, to direct or cause the direction of the
      management and policies of the Tenant.

            16.3 Landlord's Options. If at any time or from time to time during
      the Term Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, Tenant shall deliver to
      Landlord written notice ("Transfer Notice") setting forth the terms and
      provisions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed
      assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter
      as a "Transferee"). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the
      Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and financial statements
      for the preceding two (2) years of the Transferee which have been
      certified or audited by an independent accounting firm, and such other
      information concerning the business background and financial condition of
      the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall
      have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within
      ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice, such
      financial statements and other information, either to approve or
      disapprove such Transfer, which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

            16.4 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. If Landlord approves of the
      proposed Transfer pursuant to Subparagraph 16.3 above, Tenant may enter
      into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the
      following further conditions:

            (a)   the Transfer shall be on the same terms set forth in the
Transfer Notice delivered to Landlord (if the terms have changed, Tenant must
submit a revised Transfer Notice to Landlord and Landlord shall have another ten
(10) days after receipt thereof to make the election in Subparagraph 16.3);

            (b)   no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take
possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment,
sublease or other instrument affecting the Transfer has been delivered to
Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease (or with respect to a sublease of a portion of the
Premises or for a portion of the Term, all of Tenant's obligations applicable to
such portion);

            (c)   no Transferee shall have a further right to assign, encumber
or sublet, except on the terms herein contained; and

            (d)   fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which any rent or other
economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such Transfer exceeds,
in the aggregate, the total rent which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under
this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the
Premises subleased).

            16.5 Reasonable Disapproval. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge
      that Landlord's disapproval of any proposed Transfer pursuant to
      Subparagraph 16.3 shall

                                       16

<PAGE>

      be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor,
      including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (a)
      the proposed Transfer would result in more than two (2) subleases of
      portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term;
      (b) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Project or is
      presently negotiating with Landlord (unless Landlord cannot accommodate
      the space requirement of the proposed Transferee within a reasonable time
      frame) for space in the Project; (c) the proposed Transferee is a
      governmental entity; (d) the use of the Premises by the Transferee (i) is
      not permitted by the use provisions in Paragraph 8 hereof, or (ii)
      violates any exclusive use granted by Landlord to another tenant in the
      Project; (e) the Transfer would likely result in a significant increase in
      the use of the parking areas or Common Areas by the Transferee's employees
      or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and
      services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises; (f) the Transferee
      does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed
      by the Transfer; (g) the Transferee is not in Landlord's reasonable
      opinion of reputable or good character or consistent with Landlord's
      reasonably desired tenant mix; or (h) the Transferee is a real estate
      developer or is acting directly or indirectly on behalf of a real estate
      developer.

            16.6 Permitted Transfers. Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the
      Premises or any portion thereof, without paying any fees to or splitting
      any amounts received with Landlord, without Landlord's consent to any
      corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under
      common control with Tenant, or to any corporation or other entity
      resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or
      entity which acquires all of the assets of Tenant's business as a going
      concern (collectively, "Permitted Transfers"), provided that: (a) if an
      assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under
      this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises
      or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such
      portion); (b) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; (c) the use of
      the Premises under Paragraph 8 of this Lease remains unchanged; and (d)
      such transaction is not entered into as a subterfuge to avoid the
      restrictions and provisions of this Paragraph 16.

            16.7 No Release. No Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant's
      obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to
      pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by
      Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly
      to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee.

            However, 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
by Landlord 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.

            16.8 Administrative and Attorneys' Fees. If Tenant requests the
      consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay
      Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars
      ($500.00). Acceptance of the administrative fee shall in no event obligate
      Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.

      17. Entry by Landlord. Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all
times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply
janitorial service and any other service required to be provided by Landlord to
Tenant under this Lease,) to exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or
purchasers (or during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants), to
post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the
Premises or any other portion of the Building or Project, all without being
deemed guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord's covenant of quiet
enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of rent, provided
such entry by Landlord or its employees and agents is reasonable in manner and
duration. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable notice prior to any
entry into the

                                       17

<PAGE>

Premises for purposes of inspection, exhibition, posting notices or making
alterations, but no prior notice shall be required for any entry for providing
janitorial services, relamping, recurring maintenance work or responding to
emergencies. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to
minimize, as reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business,
and shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance written notice of such entry
(except in emergency situations). For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord
shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors
in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and
Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors
in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the
Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under
any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry
into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises
or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of rent,
provided that Landlord reasonably entered the Premises for a permitted purpose.
Any repairs to the Premises necessitated on account of any such entry by
Landlord shall be Landlord's responsibility, unless such repairs result from
Tenant's failure to provide Landlord with properly labeled keys for the
Premises. Nothing in this Paragraph 17 shall be construed as obligating Landlord
to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations, except as otherwise
expressly required in this Lease to be performed by Landlord.

      18. Utilities and Services.

            18.1 Standard Utilities and Services. Subject to the terms and
      conditions of this Lease, and the obligations of Tenant as set forth
      herein below, Landlord shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
      Premises the following utilities and services in a manner consistent with
      other comparable Class A quality office buildings located in South Orange
      County, the costs of which shall be included in Operating Expenses, unless
      otherwise specified below (Landlord reserves the right to adopt
      non-discriminatory modifications and additions to the following provisions
      from time to time so long as such modifications do not materially decrease
      the level of service provided to Tenant):

            (a)   Landlord shall make available for Tenant's non-exclusive use,
the non-attended passenger elevator facilities of the Building, seven days per
week, 24 hours per day. Tenant shall have access to the Premises seven (7) days
per week, 24 hours per day.

            (b)   Landlord shall furnish during "Business Hours" heating,
ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") for the Premises as required in
Landlord's judgment for the comfortable and normal occupancy of the Premises.
For purposes of this Subparagraph 18.1, the "Business Hours" shall mean 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 1PM on Saturday
(except holidays). The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and
regulate the HVAC system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance
work results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant's
failure to comply with its obligations under this Paragraph 18. Such work shall
be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman's wages for HVAC
mechanics. If Tenant desires HVAC at any time other than during Business Hours,
Landlord shall provide such "after-hours" usage after twenty-four (24) hours
advance request by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent
(and not as part of the Operating Expenses) the actual cost on an average hourly
basis (including Landlord's reasonable administrative costs of fifteen percent
(15%) of such actual costs, which shall be excluded from Operating Expenses), as
reasonably and fairly determined by Landlord from time to time, of such
after-hours usage. Landlord agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to
accommodate Tenant's requests for after-hours HVAC service on less than
twenty-four (24) hours prior notice whenever possible.

            (c)   Landlord shall furnish to the Premises 24 hours per day,
reasonable quantities of electric current for fluorescent and incandescent
lighting, and task ambient lighting and for normal office equipment in
quantities and intensity of use which is customary and reasonable for normal
office tenants (collectively "Customary Uses"). Landlord shall have the right to
require that any raised-floor computer facility portions of the Premises, any
uninterrupted power supply circuits and any other circuits serving computers,
equipment or facilities which are not Customary Uses (collectively, "Separately
Metered Portions") shall be separately metered, and that the charges for all
such separately metered electrical consumption be paid by Tenant

                                       18

<PAGE>

either directly to the utility company, or to Landlord, as Landlord elects,
which charges shall be excluded from Operating Expenses. In no event shall
Tenant's use of electric current ever exceed the capacity of the feeders to the
Building or the risers or wiring installation of the Building. Landlord shall
also furnish hot and cold water to the Premises 24 hours per day for drinking
and lavatory purposes, in such quantities as required in Landlord's reasonable
judgment for the comfortable and normal use of the Premises. If Tenant requires
or consumes water in excess of what is considered reasonable or normal by
Landlord, Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as additional rent,
the cost as fairly determined by Landlord incurred for such excess usage.

            (d)   Landlord shall furnish bonded janitorial services to the
Premises five (5) days per week pursuant to janitorial and cleaning
specifications as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time, which standards
shall be consistent with the standards typical for comparable Class A quality
office buildings located in the South Orange County area. No person(s) other
than those persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises
for such purposes. Janitor service shall include ordinary dusting and cleaning
by the janitor assigned to do such work and shall not include cleaning of
carpets or rugs, except normal vacuuming, or moving of furniture, interior
window cleaning, and other special services. Such additional services may be
rendered by Landlord pursuant to written agreement with Tenant as to the extent
of such services and the payment of the cost thereof. Janitor service will not
be furnished on nights when rooms are occupied after 7:30 p.m. or to rooms which
are locked unless a key is furnished to Landlord for use by the janitorial
contractor. Window cleaning shall be done only by Landlord, at such time and
frequency as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
cost of removal of any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish to the extent that the
same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the
Premises as offices.

            (e)   Landlord may provide security service or protection in the
Building, in a manner consistent with other comparable Class A quality office
buildings located in the South Orange County office market from the Commencement
Date through the Term.

            (f)   At Landlord's option, and subject to the provisions of
Subparagraph 18.1(c), above, Landlord may install water, electricity and/or HVAC
meters in the Premises to measure Tenant's consumption of such utilities,
including any after-hours and extraordinary usage described above.

            18.2 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall cooperate fully at all times
      with Landlord, and abide by all reasonable and non-discriminatory
      regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper
      functioning and protection of the Building's services and systems. Tenant
      shall not use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which
      may in any way increase the amount of services or utilities usually
      furnished or supplied to the Premises or other premises in the Building.
      In addition, Tenant shall not connect any conduit, pipe, apparatus or
      other device to the Building's water, waste or other supply lines or
      systems for any purpose without first obtaining Landlord's written
      consent. Neither Tenant nor its employees, agents, contractors, licensees
      or invitees shall at any time enter, adjust, tamper with, touch or
      otherwise in any manner affect the mechanical installations or facilities
      of the Building.

            18.3 Failure to Provide Utilities. Landlord's failure to furnish any
      of the utilities and services described in Subparagraph 18.1 above when
      such failure is caused by all or any of the following shall not result in
      any liability of Landlord, except as otherwise set forth in this Lease:
      (a) accident, breakage or repairs; (b) strikes, lockouts or other labor
      disturbances or labor disputes of any such character; (c) governmental
      regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (d) inability to
      obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (e) any other cause beyond
      Landlord's reasonable control. In addition, in the event of the failure of
      any said utilities or services, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
      abatement or reduction of rent (except as expressly provided in
      Subparagraphs 20.3 and 21.2 if such failure is a result of a damage or
      taking described therein), except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, no
      eviction of

                                       19

<PAGE>

      Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance
      of any covenant or agreement in this Lease.

      19. Indemnification and Exculpation.

            19.1 Tenant's Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall be liable
      for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's
      partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
      (collectively, "Landlord Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against,
      any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses,
      liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs
      (collectively, "Indemnified Claims"), arising or resulting from (a) any
      negligent act or negligent omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents,
      employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees, licensees or invitees
      (collectively, "Tenant Parties"); (b) the use of the Premises and Common
      Areas and conduct of Tenant's business by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or
      any other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant
      or any Tenant Parties, in or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere
      on the Site; and/or (c) any default by Tenant of any obligations on
      Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. In case any
      action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord
      Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon
      notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel
      approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

            19.2 Landlord's Indemnification. Subject to the limitation on
      Landlord's liability set forth in Paragraph 34 below, Landlord shall be
      liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant and Tenant's
      partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
      (collectively, "Tenant Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against,
      any injury to persons or damage to property located on the Premises or
      Site to the extent such damage or injury arises or results from (a) the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or
      employees and/or (b) the default by Landlord of any obligations on
      Landlord's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease; provided,
      however, that Landlord's indemnity shall not apply or extend to any such
      damage or injury which is covered by any insurance maintained by Tenant
      or any Tenant Indemnified Parties (or would have been covered had Tenant
      obtained the insurance as required under this Lease). In case any action
      or proceeding is brought against Tenant or any Tenant Indemnified Parties
      by reason of any such injury or damage indemnified by Landlord as set
      forth hereinabove, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall defend the
      same at Landlord's expense by counsel approved in writing by Tenant, which
      approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

            19.3 Survival; No Release of Insurers. Tenant's and Landlord's
      indemnification obligations under Subparagraphs 19.1 and 19.2,
      respectively, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
      Lease. Tenant's covenants, agreements and indemnification in Subparagraph
      19.1 above, and Landlord's covenants, agreements and indemnification in
      Subparagraph 19.2 above, are not intended to and shall not relieve any
      insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be
      carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively, pursuant to the provisions
      of this Lease.

      20. Damage or Destruction..

            20.1 Landlord's Rights and Obligations. In the event the Premises or
      any part of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent
      not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost
      thereof, and Landlord's contractor reasonably estimates in a writing
      delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the Building
      and/or Premises may be repaired, reconstructed (or restored to
      substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one
      hundred fifty (150) days from the date of such casualty, and Landlord will
      or would receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the costs of such
      repairs, reconstruction and restoration had Landlord carried the insurance
      required to be carried by Landlord

                                       20

<PAGE>

      pursuant to this Lease (including proceeds from Tenant and/or Tenant's
      insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord pursuant to
      Subparagraph 20.2 below), or should Landlord be a self-insurer for such
      casualty and such casualty would have been covered by the insurance
      required under this Lease had Landlord not elected to self-insure for such
      risk, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of
      repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in
      full force and effect. If, however, the Premises or any other part(s) of
      such Building is damaged to an extent exceeding twenty-five percent (25%)
      of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord's contractor reasonably
      estimates that such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will
      require longer than one hundred fifty (150) days to complete, or Landlord
      will not receive insurance proceeds even though Landlord carried the
      insurance required to be carried by Landlord pursuant to this Lease
      (and/or proceeds from Tenant, as applicable) sufficient to cover the costs
      of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration, then Landlord may elect
      to either: (a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Building
      and Premises damaged by such casualty (including the Leasehold
      Improvements and any Tenant Changes insured by Landlord pursuant to
      Subparagraph 14.1(c)), in which case this Lease shall continue in full
      force and effect; or (b) terminate this Lease effective as of the date
      which is thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's election to
      so terminate.

            20.2 Tenant's Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any
      damage or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall
      immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and (b) deliver to Landlord all
      insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Leasehold
      Improvements in the Premises but only to the extent that such items are
      not covered by Landlord's casualty insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant
      to Paragraph 23 below (excluding proceeds for Tenant's furniture and other
      personal property), whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted
      in this Paragraph 20, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to
      receive such insurance proceeds.

            If, for any reason (including Tenant's failure to obtain insurance
for the full replacement cost of any Tenant Changes which Tenant is required to
insure pursuant to Subparagraphs 14.1(c) and/or 22.1 (a) hereof), Tenant fails
to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such Tenant
Changes which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the
replacement cost of such Tenant Changes, and upon any damage or destruction
thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full replacement cost of
such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord from
Landlord's or Tenant's insurance with respect to such items, but only to the
extent that Landlord is required to or elects to reconstruct the same for
Tenant's use as provided in this Lease.

            20.3 Abatement of Rent. In the event that as a result of any such
      damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Premises or the
      Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises
      or any portion thereof for ten (10) consecutive business days (the
      "Eligibility Period"), then the rent shall be abated or reduced, as the
      case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented
      from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the
      proportion that the Rentable Square Feet of the portion of the Premises
      that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total
      Rentable Square Feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
      contrary, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
      Tenant or any Tenant Parties, there shall be no abatement of rent.

            20.4 Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained in this Paragraph 20, in the event Landlord is obligated or
      elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the
      Building or Premises pursuant to Subparagraph 20.1 above, but is delayed
      from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the
      date which is six (6) months after the date estimated by Landlord's
      contractor for completion thereof pursuant to Subparagraph 20.1, by reason
      of any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including,
      without limitation, any acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, and
      delays caused by

                                       21

<PAGE>

      Tenant or any Tenant Parties), then Landlord or Tenant may elect to
      terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
      other party.

            20.5 Damage Near End of Term. In addition to its termination rights
      in Subparagraphs 20.1 and 20.4 above, Landlord and Tenant shall have the
      right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Building or Premises
      occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease and
      Landlord's contractor estimates in a writing delivered to the parties that
      the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be
      completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled expiration date of the
      Lease Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty.

            20.6 Tenant's Termination Right. Upon the occurrence of any damage
      or destruction to the Building which materially affects Tenant's ability
      to use the Premises, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a written notice of
      Landlord's contractor's reasonable estimate of the time required to
      complete the repair and restoration of such damage or destruction (the
      "Time Estimate"). If the Time Estimate estimates that such repair and
      restoration will take more than three hundred (300) days to complete
      (measured from the date of occurrence of such damage or destruction)
      Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord,
      which notice shall be given, if at all, within twenty (20) days following
      Tenant's receipt of the Time Estimate. If Tenant fails to deliver notice
      of Tenant's election to terminate this Lease to Landlord within such
      twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this
      Lease as a result of such damage or destruction. Once such notice has been
      delivered, if this Lease is not terminated thereby, as long as Landlord
      has not elected to terminate as otherwise allowed by the above provisions
      of this Paragraph 20, Landlord shall proceed to undertake its repair and
      restoration obligations under this Paragraph 20 and Tenant shall not have
      the right to terminate this Lease as a result of the occurrence of such
      damage or destruction, and Landlord agrees to use diligent efforts to
      complete the restoration work in a timely manner.

            20.7 Waiver of Other Termination Rights. The provisions of
      California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933,
      Subsection 4 (and any successor statutes thereof permitting Tenant to
      terminate this Lease as a result of any damage or destruction) are hereby
      expressly waived by Tenant, and Tenant's only termination rights relating
      to damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be as set forth in
      Subparagraph 20.4, 20.5 and 20.6, above.

      21. Eminent Domain.

            21.1 Substantial Taking. Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph
      21.4 below, in case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as
      shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the
      Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be taken for any
      public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by
      exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or
      sold to prevent such taking, either party shall have the right to
      terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be
      surrendered to said authority.

            21.2 Partial Taking; Abatement of Rent. In the event of a taking of
      a portion of the Premises which does not substantially interfere with the
      conduct of Tenant's business, then, except as otherwise provided in the
      immediately following sentence, neither party shall have the right to
      terminate this Lease and Landlord shall thereafter proceed to make a
      functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises (but only to the
      extent Landlord receives proceeds therefore from the condemning
      authority), and rent shall be abated with respect to the part of the
      Premises which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking.

            21.3 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph
      21.4 below, in connection with any taking of the Premises or Building,
      Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which
      may be made or given in such taking or condemnation. Tenant shall not
      assert any claim against Landlord or the

                                       22

<PAGE>

      taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including
      any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if
      any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to
      recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any
      compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the
      taking of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal
      property within the Premises, for Tenant's relocation expenses, and for
      any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant's business by reason of
      such taking, and for any Leasehold Improvements and Tenant Changes which
      remain Tenant's property as of the expiration or sooner termination of
      this Lease (if any).

            21.4 Temporary Taking. In the event of a taking of the Premises or
      any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain
      unaffected thereby and rent shall not abate, and (b) Tenant shall be
      entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made
      for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the
      Term. For purpose of this Subparagraph 21.4, a temporary taking shall be
      defined as a taking for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days or
      less.

      22. Tenant's Insurance.

            22.1 Types of Insurance. On or before the earlier of the
      Commencement Date or the date Tenant commences or causes to be commenced
      any work of any type in or on the Premises pursuant to this Lease, and
      continuing during the entire Term, Tenant shall obtain and keep in full
      force and effect, the following insurance in connection with Tenant's use
      or occupancy of the Site and the Premises:

            (a)   All Risk insurance, including fire and extended coverage,
sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism, malicious
mischief upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and located
in the Premises or Building, or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed
by or on behalf of Tenant including, without limitation, furniture, equipment
and any other personal property, and the Tenant Changes to the extent required
under Subparagraph 14.1(c) above, (but excluding the initial Leasehold
Improvements previously existing or installed in the Premises), in an amount not
less then the full replacement cost thereof. In the event that there shall be a
dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of
Tenant's insurer shall govern.

            (b)   Commercial general liability insurance coverage, insuring
Tenant's activities at or otherwise affecting the Project, including personal
injury, bodily injury (including wrongful death), broad form property damage,
operations hazard, owner's protective coverage, contractual liability (including
Tenant's indemnification obligations under this Lease, including Paragraph 19
hereof), and owned/non-owned auto liability, with initial limits as follows:
general aggregate-not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), and per
occurrence-not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). The limits of
liability of such commercial general liability insurance shall be increased, if
adjusted at all, every five (5) years during the Term of this Lease to an amount
reasonably required by Landlord.

            (c)   Business Income insurance in such amount as will reimburse
Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils
commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of
access to the Premises, Tenant's parking areas or to the Building as a result of
such perils.

            22.2 Requirements. Each policy required to be obtained by Tenant
      hereunder shall: (a) be issued by insurers authorized to do business in
      the state in which the Building is located and rated not less than
      financial class X, and not less than policyholder rating A- in the most
      recent version of Best's Key Rating Guide; (b) be in form reasonably
      satisfactory from time to time to Landlord; (c) name Tenant as named
      insured thereunder and name Landlord and, at Landlord's request,
      Landlord's mortgagees and ground lessors of which Tenant has been informed
      in writing, as additional insureds thereunder, all as their respective
      interests may appear; (d) not have a deductible amount exceeding
      Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00); (e) specifically provide that
      the insurance afforded by such policy for the benefit of Landlord and
      Landlord's mortgagees and ground lessors shall be primary, and any

                                       23

<PAGE>

      insurance carried by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagees and ground lessors
      shall be excess and non-contributing; (f) except for worker's compensation
      insurance, contain an endorsement that the insurer waives its right to
      subrogation as described in Paragraph 24 below; and (g) contain an
      undertaking by the insurer to notify Landlord (and the mortgagees and
      ground lessors of Landlord who are named as additional insureds) in
      writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change,
      reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof. Tenant
      agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after the placing of
      the required insurance, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the
      date Tenant takes possession of all or any part of the Premises, certified
      copies of each such insurance policy (or certificates from the insurance
      company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant's compliance
      with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 22). Tenant shall cause
      replacement policies or certificates to be delivered to Landlord prior to
      the expiration of any such policy or policies, or within five (5) business
      days following the expiration of any such policy or policies if not
      available until then. If any such initial or replacement policies or
      certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein,
      Tenant, subject to Subparagraph 22.3, below, shall be deemed to have
      self-insured for same. If Tenant does not furnish the required policy(ies)
      and does not satisfy the requirements imposed by Subparagraph 22.3, Tenant
      shall be deemed to be in material default under this Lease, and Landlord
      shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and
      certificates at Tenant's expense.

      23. Landlord's Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall be required to
insure the Building, the Premises, the Leasehold Improvements initially
installed in the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D" and certain Tenant Changes to
the extent described in Subparagraph 14.1(c) above (excluding, however, Tenant's
furniture, equipment and other personal property and those Tenant Changes which
Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraphs
14.1(c) and 22.1(a) above) against damage by fire and standard extended
coverage perils and general liability insurance, in such reasonable amounts and
with such reasonable deductibles as are customarily carried by landlords of
comparable Class A quality office buildings located in the South Orange County
office market. At Landlord's option, such insurance may be carried under any
blanket or umbrella policies which Landlord has in force for other buildings and
projects. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry any other form or
forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord
may reasonably determine is advisable, including rental interruption insurance
to the extent commercially reasonable. The cost of insurance obtained by
Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall be included in Operating Expenses.
With respect to the general liability insurance initially obtained by Landlord,
such insurance shall be issued by insurers authorized to do business in the
state in which the Building is located and rated not less than financial class X
and policyholder rating A- in the most recent version of Best's Key Rating
Guide, and shall include a deductible amount of not greater than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

      24. Waivers of Subrogation.

            24.1 Mutual Waiver of Parties. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive
      their rights against each other as well as the officers, partners,
      directors, employees, agents and authorized representatives of Landlord
      and Tenant with respect to any claims or damages or losses (including any
      claims for bodily injury to persons and/or damage to property) which are
      caused by or result from (a) risks to the extent insured against under any
      insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be)
      pursuant to the provisions of this Lease and enforceable at the time of
      such damage, loss and/or injury, or (b) risks to the extent the same would
      have been covered under any insurance to the extent required to be
      obtained and maintained by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) under
      Paragraphs 22 and 23 of this Lease (as applicable) had such insurance been
      obtained and maintained as required therein. The foregoing waivers shall
      be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases
      contained in this Lease. In the event that either party elects to
      self-insure for any of the risks for which the self-insuring party is
      required to carry property insurance under this Lease, then the
      self-insuring party shall provide the other party with a commercially
      reasonable form of written release agreement which provides the other
      party with a

                                       24

<PAGE>

      release of liability to the same extent and for the same risks as would be
      afforded to the other party under a waiver of subrogation under an
      insurance policy covering the risks for which the self-insuring party has
      elected to self-insure; provided that such release shall be effective upon
      such self-insurance, even without such a written release.

            24.2 Waiver of Insurer. Each party shall cause each insurance policy
      required to be obtained by it pursuant to Paragraphs 22 and 23 (excluding
      Tenant's worker's compensation insurance) to provide that the insurer
      waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against either
      Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and against the officers,
      employees, agents, partners and authorized representatives of Landlord and
      Tenant in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such
      policy. If either party fails to maintain insurance required hereunder,
      such insurance shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full
      waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

      25. Tenant's Default and Landlord's Remedies.

            25.1 Tenant's Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
      following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Tenant:

            (a)   the failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or
additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder
within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of written notice from
Landlord that such payment is due (Late Payment);

            (b)   the failure by Tenant to timely perform any of those covenants
described in Paragraphs 8.2, 15, 22.2 and 27 of this Lease (which Paragraphs
expressly provide for specific notices and cure periods and provide that
Tenant's failure to comply with the requests or notices within the time periods
provided therein shall be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease without
any additional notice or cure periods);

            (c)   the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express
or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraphs 25.1(a) or (b) above, where
such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant's
receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however,
that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice
required under California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1161 and provided
further that, if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed
to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which
completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such
notice from Landlord (but provided, however, that if the default does not
materially physically harm the Building or any other part of the Site and it is
objectively impossible to complete such cure within sixty (60) days [excluding
impossibility due to Tenant's financial inability to perform], Tenant shall so
notify Landlord and shall advise Landlord of the actual time period reasonably
necessary to effect such cure, and shall effect such cure within the actual time
period reasonably necessary to not be in default if Tenant effects such cure);
and

            (d)   Except with respect to Tenant's current Bankruptcy which
petition was filed on October 2, 2001 (i) the making by Tenant of any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of
a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days),
(iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty
(60) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's
interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60)
days.

            25.2 Landlord's Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such
      default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord
      under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate
      option to terminate this Lease and

                                       25

<PAGE>

      all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to
      so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

            (a)   the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had
been earned at the time of such termination; plus

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

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

            (d)   any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to
result therefrom including, but not limited to: attorneys' fees; brokers'
commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of
the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such
removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant's personal property, equipment,
fixtures, Tenant Changes, Leasehold Improvements and any other items which
Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove.

            As used in Subparagraphs 25.2(a) and 25.2(b) above, the "worth at
the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set
forth in Subparagraph 1.18. As used in Subparagraph 25.2(c) above, the "worth at
the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate
of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percent (1%).

            25.3 Landlord's Remedies; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such
      default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord
      under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right,
      with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and
      remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be
      removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to Subparagraph 14.4 of this
      Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or
      taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this
      Subparagraph 25.3, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other
      action on Landlord's part, shall be construed as an election to terminate
      this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or
      unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
      jurisdiction.

            25.4 Landlord's Remedies: Continuation of Lease. In the event of any
      such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to
      Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the
      right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not
      Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. The foregoing remedy shall also
      be available to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4
      and any successor statute thereof in the event Tenant has abandoned the
      Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full
      force and effect pursuant to this Subparagraph 25.4, then Landlord shall
      be entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease,
      including the right to recover rent as it becomes due. Landlord's election
      not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Subparagraph 25.4 or pursuant
      to any other provision of this Lease, at law or in equity, shall not
      preclude Landlord from subsequently electing to terminate this Lease or
      pursuing any of its other remedies.

            25.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and
      remedies of Landlord contained in this Paragraph 25 and elsewhere in this
      Lease (including Paragraph 29 below) shall be construed and held to be
      cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and
      Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or
      any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity,
      whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Paragraph 25 shall be

                                       26

<PAGE>

      deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant's indemnification of Landlord
      pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

            25.6 Arbitration. Should a dispute arise between the parties
      regarding any matter described above, then except with respect to actions
      for unlawful or forcible detainer, either party may cause the dispute to
      be submitted to JAMS/ENDISPUTE ("JAMS") in Orange County, California, for
      binding arbitration. However, each party reserves the right to seek a
      provisional remedy by judicial action. No arbitration election by either
      party pursuant to this subparagraph shall be effective if made later than
      thirty (30) days following service of a judicial summons and complaint by
      or upon such party concerning the dispute. The arbitration shall be
      conducted in accordance with the rules of practice and procedure of JAMS
      and otherwise pursuant to the California Arbitration Act (Code of Civil
      Procedure Section 1280 et seq.). The arbitrator shall apportion the costs
      of the arbitration, together with the attorneys' fees of the parties, in
      the manner deemed equitable by the arbitrator, it being the intention of
      the parties that the prevailing party ordinarily be entitled to recover
      its reasonable costs and fees. Judgment upon any award rendered by the
      arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction

      26. Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be in default in the
performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this
Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30)
days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail
Landlord's failure to perform; provided however, that if the nature of
Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for
its performance, then Landlord shail not be deemed in default if it commences
such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues the same to completion. Upon any such uncured default by Landlord,
Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided in law or at equity; provided,
however: (a) Tenant shall have no right to offset or abate rent in the event of
any default by Landlord under this Lease, except to the extent offset rights are
specifically provided to Tenant in this Lease; and (b) Tenant's rights and
remedies hereunder shall be limited to the extent (I) Tenant has expressly
waived in this Lease any of such rights or remedies and/or (ii) this Lease
otherwise expressly limits Tenant's rights or remedies, including the limitation
on Landlord's liability contained in Paragraph 34 hereof.

      27. Subordination. Without the necessity of any additional document being
executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the
election of Landlord or any mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed
of trust now or hereafter encumbering all or any portion of the Building or
Site, or any lessor of any ground or master lease now or hereafter affecting all
or any portion of the Building or Site, this Lease shall be subject and
subordinate at all times to such ground or master leases (and such extensions
and modifications thereof), and to the lien of such mortgages and deeds of trust
(as well as to any advances made thereunder and to all renewals, replacements,
modifications and extensions thereof). As a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of any such subordination of this Lease to any future ground or
master leases or the lien of any future mortgages or deeds of trust, Landlord
shall provide to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in recordable form in favor of Tenant in a mutually acceptable form
executed by such future ground lessor, master lessor, mortgagee or deed of trust
beneficiary, as the case may be, which shall provide that Tenant's quiet
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed on account of such
subordination to such future lease or lien so long as Tenant is not in default
beyond any applicable cure period under any provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or
cause to be subordinated any or all ground or master leases or the lien of any
or all mortgages or deeds of trust to this Lease. In the event that any ground
or master lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is
foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, at the
election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant shall attorn to and become
the tenant of such successor. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current
or future law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in
the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days
after receipt of written demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably required
by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or

                                       27

<PAGE>

subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground or master lease or
the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. Should Tenant fail to sign and
return any such documents within said 15 business day period, Tenant shall be in
default hereunder without the benefit of any additional notice or cure periods
specified in Subparagraph 25.1 above.

      28. Estoppel Certificate.

            28.1 Tenant's Obligations. Within twenty (20) business days
      following Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
      Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form satisfactory to Landlord's
      current or future lender certifying: (a) the Commencement Date of this
      Lease; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,
      if modified, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and
      stating the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which
      the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that
      there are not, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, any defaults under this
      Lease by either Landlord or Tenant, except as specified in such
      certificate; and (e) such other matters as are reasonably requested by
      Landlord (which matters may be certified to the best of Tenant's knowledge
      to the extent such matters are not capable of being objectively known to
      Tenant with certainty). Landlord's request for such an estoppel
      certificate shall be delivered to Tenant and to Tenant's Law Department
      (provided Tenant has supplied Landlord with a current address for Tenant's
      Law Department) by certified or express mail or by overnight delivery
      service (such as Federal Express), with other copies provided in the
      manner specified in this Lease for delivery of notices. Any such estoppel
      certificate delivered pursuant to this Subparagraph 28.1 may be relied
      upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of
      any portion of the Site, as well as their assignees.

            28.2 Tenant's Failure to Deliver. Tenant's failure to deliver such
      estoppel certificate within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant
      that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification,
      except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured
      defaults in Landlord's or Tenant's performance; and (c) Other than
      deposits provided for in Section 1.16, not more than one (1) month's
      rental has been paid in advance.

      29. PERFORMANCE BY TENANT; INTEREST AND LATE CHARGES.

            29.1 Landlord's Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided
      otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this
      Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and
      without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any
      sum of money (other than Annual Basic Rent) or perform any other act on
      its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue
      for three (3) days with respect to monetary obligations (or ten (10) days
      with respect to non-monetary obligations) after Tenant's receipt of
      written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or
      releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make such payment or
      perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord
      and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such
      other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days
      after Tenant's receipt of demand therefore as additional rent. The
      foregoing rights are in addition to any and all remedies available to
      Landlord upon Tenant's default as described in Paragraph 25.

            29.2 Interest. If any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent or
      Excess Expenses, or other amount payable by Tenant or Landlord hereunder
      is not received by the other party within ten (10) days after the date
      when due, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in
      Subparagraph 1.19 from the date due until paid.

            29.3 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that, in addition to interest
      costs, the late payments by Tenant to Landlord of any Annual Basic Rent or
      other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not
      contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely
      difficult and impractical to fix. Such other costs include, without
      limitation, processing, administrative and accounting charges and late
      charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage, deed
      of trust or related loan documents encumbering the Premises, the Building
      or the Site. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent
      or Excess Expenses or any other amount

                                       28

<PAGE>

      payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the due date
      thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of four percent
      (4%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that such
      late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that
      Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment as hereinabove referred
      to by Tenant, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct
      and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for
      the use of Landlord's money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges
      is to compensate Landlord for Landlord's processing, administrative and
      other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's delinquent
      payments. Acceptance of a late charge or interest shall not constitute a
      waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent
      Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to
      Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in
      effect.

      30. Cure Rights of Landlord's Mortgagees and Lessors. In the event of any
default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or
certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee covering the
Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to
Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor the same
opportunity to cure the default as is afforded Landlord pursuant to this Lease.
Landlord's current lender contact information is on the attached Exhibit H.

      31. Transfer of Owner's Interest. The term "Landlord" as used in this
Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are
concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the
time in question, of the fee title to, or a Iessee's interest in a ground lease
of, the Site. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or
interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor
shall be automatically relieved of all covenants and obligations on the part of
Landlord contained in this Lease accruing after the date of such transfer or
conveyance to the extent the transferee expressly assumes the same. Landlord and
Landlord's transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer
all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Site, the
Building, the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such
transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord's
part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

      32. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon
Tenant performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to be
observed and performed under this Lease (including payment of rent hereunder),
Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

      33. Parking.

            33.1 Tenant's Parking Spaces. During the Term of this Lease (as the
      same may be extended or renewed), Landlord shall provide to Tenant the
      number of parking spaces specified in Subparagraph 1.21 hereof for use by
      Tenant's employees or a nonexclusive basis in the common parking areas for
      the Building within the Project, as designated by Landlord from time to
      time. Landlord shall at all times have the right to establish and modify,
      on a non- discriminatory basis, the nature and extent of the parking areas
      for the Building and Project (including whether such areas shall be
      surface, underground and/or other structures) as long as Tenant is
      provided, on a non-discriminatory basis, the number of parking spaces
      designated in Subparagraph 1.21. Tenant and its employees shall be
      provided access to the parking areas for the Project seven (7) days a week
      and twenty-four (24) hours per day. Throughout the entire Lease Term (as
      the same may be extended and/or renewed) the parking spaces provided to
      Tenant as specified in Subparagraph 1.21 and visitor parking for Tenant's
      guests and invitees shall be free of charge. However, all costs of
      operating, maintaining and repairing the parking areas shall be included
      as Operating Expenses.

            33.2 Visitor Parking. In addition to such parking spaces for use by
      Tenant's employees, Landlord shall permit access to the parking areas for
      Tenant's visitors, subject to availability of spaces.

            33.3 Parking Rules. The use of the parking areas shall be subject to
      the Parking Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "H" and any
      other reasonable, non-

                                       29

<PAGE>

      discriminatory rules and regulations adopted by Landlord and/or Landlord's
      parking operators from time to time, including any system for controlled
      ingress and egress. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than its
      allotment and shall not use any parking spaces specifically assigned by
      Landlord to other tenants of the Building or Project or for such other
      uses as visitor parking. Tenant's parking spaces shall be used only for
      parking by vehicles no larger than normally sized passenger automobiles or
      pick-up trucks and vans. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles
      that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees,
      suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded, or
      parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such
      activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities
      described herein, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in
      addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or
      tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which
      cost shall be immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.

      34. Limitation on Landlord's Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained
      in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this
      Lease (including any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do
      not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors,
      officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord's partners, and
      Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners, directors,
      officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord's partners, or
      any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with
      respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits
      accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in
      this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself
      and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for
      its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of
      any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord),
      shall be limited to the fair market value of Landlord's equity interest in
      the Site. The foregoing provisions are not intended to relieve Landlord
      from the performance of any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease,
      but only to limit the personal liability of Landlord in case of recovery
      of a judgment against Landlord, nor shall this Paragraph 34 be deemed to
      limit Tenant's rights to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance
      or other remedy which may be accorded Tenant at law, in equity or under
      this Lease.

      35. Hazardous Materials.

            35.1 Tenant's and Landlord's Covenants. In addition to its other
      obligations under this Lease (including Paragraph 8 hereof), Tenant
      covenants to comply with all applicable laws relating to Hazardous
      Materials with respect to the Premises, the Building and the Site. Except
      for general office supplies typically used in an office area in the
      ordinary course of business (such as copier toner, liquid paper, glue,
      ink, and cleaning solvents), for use in the manner for which they were
      designed and only in accordance with all Hazardous Materials laws and the
      highest standards prevailing in the industry for such use, and then only
      in such amounts as may be normal for the office business operations
      conducted by Tenant on the Premises, neither Tenant nor any Tenant Parties
      (as defined in Subparagraph 19.1) shall use, handle, store or dispose of
      any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building
      or the Site. Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole cost and
      expense, as are necessary to return the Premises, Building, Site and
      Project to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such
      Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, provided Landlord's
      approval of such actions shall first be obtained, except in the case of an
      emergency, in which case Tenant shall notify Landlord of such actions as
      soon as is reasonably possible. Furthermore, Tenant shall immediately
      notify Landlord of any inquiry, test, investigation or enforcement
      proceeding by or against Tenant or the Premises concerning the presence of
      any Hazardous Material. In addition to its other obligations under this
      Lease, Landlord covenants to comply with all applicable laws relating to
      Hazardous Materials with respect to the Premises, the Building and the
      Site. Except for general office supplies typically used in an office area
      in the ordinary course of business, except for petroleum, oils, and other
      items used in connection with the operation of automobiles and other
      equipment, and except for common and customary construction materials
      (including, without limitation, solvents, lubricants, fuels, mastics and
      adhesives) and common cleaning and janitorial supplies reasonably
      necessary for the maintenance, operation, repair and improvement of the
      Project, Building and the Site, for use in the manner for which they were
      designed and only in accordance with all Hazardous Materials laws and
      reasonable prudent standards prevailing in the industry for such use, and
      then only in such amounts as may be normal for the

                                       30

      and/or Noxious Substances by Tenant or any Tenant Parties. Tenant shall

      causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and
      expenses (including, without limitation, investigation and clean-up costs,
      attorneys' fees, consultant fees and court costs) which arise during or
      after the Term of this Lease as a result of Tenant's breach of any of the
      obligations and covenants set forth in Subparagraph 35.1 above, and/or any
      contamination of the Premises, Building, Site or Project directly or
      indirectly arising from the activities of Tenant or any Tenant Parties.
      Tenant shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses relating the
      remediation or cleanup of Hazardous Materials which were located on the
      Project prior to the date of this Lease or which are placed or discharged
      on or about the Project by Landlord, Landlord's employees, contractors or
      agents or any individual or entity other than Tenant or one or more Tenant
      Parties.

            35.3 Definition of Hazardous Materials. For purposes of this Lease,
      the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean, collectively, asbestos, any
      petroleum fuel, and any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste
      which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the
      State of California or the United States Government, including, but not
      limited to, any material or substance defined as a "hazardous waste,"
      "extremely hazardous waste," "restricted hazardous waste," "hazardous
      substance," "hazardous material" or "toxic pollutant" under the California
      Health and Safety Code and/or under the Comprehensive Environmental
      Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq.

            35.4 Survival. The foregoing covenants and indemnities of Tenant and
      Landlord shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

      36. Miscellaneous.

            36.1 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed
      pursuant to, the laws of the State of California.

            36.2 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph
      31 above, and except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the
      covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon,
      and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective
      heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns;
      provided, however, no rights shall inure to the benefit of any Transferee
      of Tenant unless the Transfer to such Transferee is made in compliance
      with the provisions of Paragraph 16, and no options or other rights which
      are expressly made personal to the original Tenant hereunder or in any
      rider attached hereto shall be assignable to or exercisable by anyone
      other than the original Tenant under this Lease.

            36.3 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
      Tenant or a mutual termination thereof shall not work as a merger and
      shall, at the option of Landlord, either (a) terminate all or any existing
      subleases, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant's
      interest under any or all such subleases. 36.2

                                       31

            36.4 Professional Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring
      suit against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful
      detainer or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs
      and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without
      limitation, its actual appraisers', accountants', attorneys' and other
      professional fees and court costs) shall be paid by the other party.

            36.5 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other
      party of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be
      deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
      term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or
      practice which may become established between the parties in the
      administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in any way
      affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other
      in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either
      party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or
      delivery by Tenant (as the case may be) of any rent or other payments due
      hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action
      on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no
      express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said
      waiver. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not
      be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term,
      covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to
      pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
      such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

            36.6 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person or entity
      executes this Lease as Tenant: (a) each of them is and shall be jointly
      and severally liable for the covenants, conditions, provisions and
      agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant; and
      (b) the act or signature of, or notice from or to, any one or more of them
      with respect to this Lease shall be binding upon each and all of the
      persons and entities executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force
      and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or signed, or given or
      received such notice.

            36.7 Terms and Headings. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used
      herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any
      gender include other genders. The paragraph headings of this Lease are not
      a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or
      interpretation of any part hereof except that underlined words within
      Section 1 are defined terms and not headings.

            36.8 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to performance of
      every provision of this Lease in which time or performance is a factor.
      All references in this Lease to "days" shall mean calendar days unless
      specifically modified herein to be "business" days.

            36.9 Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease (and the Exhibits and
      Riders attached hereto) contain all of the covenants, provisions,
      agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant
      concerning the Premises and any other matter covered or mentioned in this
      Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding, oral or written, express
      or implied, pertaining to the Premises or any such other matter shall be
      effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or
      added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or
      their respective successors in interest. The parties acknowledge that all
      prior agreements, representations and negotiations are deemed superseded
      by the execution of this Lease to the extent they are not expressly
      incorporated herein.

            36.10 Separability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
      provision of this Lease (except for Tenant's obligation to pay Annual
      Basic Rent and Excess Expenses under Paragraphs 5 and 6 hereof) shall in
      no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such
      other provisions shall remain valid and in full force and effect to the
      fullest extent permitted by law.

            36.11 Exhibits and Riders. All Exhibits and Riders attached to this
      Lease are hereby incorporated in this Lease as though set forth at length
      herein.

            36.12 Signs and Auctions. Tenant shall have the right to install
      eyebrow level signage on the exterior of the subject building in
      conformance with the Foothill Plaza and City of Lake Forest sign
      regulations. The size, font type, color and location of the sign shall be
      subject to

                                       32

<PAGE>

      Landlord's approval. Additionally, Tenant shall have an identity sign on
      the entry door of the Premises. Tenant shall have no right to conduct any
      auction in, on or about the Premises, the Building or Site.

            36.13 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by
      Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent payment herein stipulated shall
      be deemed to be other than on account of the rent, nor shall any
      endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check
      or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
      accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to
      recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in
      this Lease. Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and
      agreements shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either
      expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by any statute or at common
      law.

            36.14 Financial Statements. Upon ten (10) days prior written request
      from Landlord (which Landlord may make at any time during the Term but no
      more often than one (1) time in any calendar year), Tenant shall deliver
      to Landlord (a) a current annual report, or if not applicable, financial
      statement of Tenant, and (b) annual reports, or if not applicable,
      financial statements of Tenant for the two (2) years prior to the current
      financial statement year. Such annual report or statements shall be
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
      certified as true in all material respects by Tenant (if Tenant is an
      individual) or by an authorized officer or general partner of Tenant (if
      Tenant is a corporation or partnership, respectively).

            36.15 Tenant's Authority. If Tenant executes this Lease as a
      partnership, limited liability company or corporation, then Tenant and the
      persons and/or entities executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent
      and warrant that: (a) Tenant is a duly authorized and existing
      partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as the case may be,
      and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is
      located; (b) such persons and/or entities executing this Lease are duly
      authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on Tenant's behalf in
      accordance with the Tenant's partnership agreement (if Tenant is a
      partnership), operating agreement (if Tenant is a limited liability
      company) or a duly adopted resolution of Tenant's board of directors and
      the Tenant's by-laws (if Tenant is a corporation); and (c) this Lease is
      binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms.

            36.16 Landlord's Lien Waiver. If Tenant desires to purchase subject
      to a security interest, lease or obtain a loan secured by Tenant's
      personal property in the Premises and requests that Landlord execute a
      lien waiver in connection therewith waiving Landlord's lien rights to such
      personal property. Landlord agrees to execute such a lien waiver on
      Landlord's standard form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if
      Landlord incurs processing costs (including attorneys' fees) in connection
      with such reasonable request which exceed $300.00, then Tenant shall
      reimburse such excess costs to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following
      Tenant's receipt of invoice(s) therefore. Nothing in this Subparagraph
      36.16 shall permit Tenant to encumber its leasehold interest in the
      Premises.

            36.17 Confidentiality. ALL DOCUMENTS, TERMS, PROVISIONS, AND
      CONDITIONS RELATING TO THIS LEASE, including, without limitation, all
      details of Basic Rent, Operating Expenses, and any options (collectively
      referred to as the "Agreement Details"), ARE CONFIDENTIAL. Except as may
      be reasonably required to obtain Bankruptcy court approval, Tenant, its
      agents, employees, invitees and representatives shall maintain the
      strictest confidence regarding the Agreement Details. Under no
      circumstances shall Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or
      representatives discuss or disclose to any other individual or entity (or
      representative of same) any of the Agreement Details. Further, Tenant
      shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, protect, defend (with
      counsel reasonably approved by Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from
      and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action,
      damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and expenses (including,
      without limitation, loss of prospective tenants, rents, sales or other
      business or profits, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and court costs)
      which arise during or after the term of this Lease as a result of the
      breach of any of the obligations and covenants set forth in this
      Subparagraph, and/or any other disclosure by Tenant, its agents,
      employees, invitees or representatives of any Agreement Details/Tenant's
      indemnification obligations under this Subparagraph shall survive the
      expiration or earlier

                                       33

<PAGE>

      termination of this Lease. This Subparagraph shall not be deemed to
      prohibit disclosure to the extent that the disclosure is required by law.

            36.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge
      that it is aware of and has had the advice of counsel of its choice with
      respect to its right to trial by jury, and each party does hereby
      expressly and knowingly waive and release all such rights to trial by jury
      in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto
      against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees,
      agents, or subsidiary or affiliated entities) on any matters whatsoever
      arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, tenant's use or
      occupancy of the premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.

            36.19 Reasonableness. Whenever the Lease grants Landlord or Tenant
      the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and
      regulations or make allocations or other determinations. Landlord and
      Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action Which
      might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a
      sophisticated landlord and sophisticated tenant concerning the benefits to
      be enjoyed under the Lease.

            36.20 Bankruptcy Approval. This lease shall not take effect or be
      binding on either party until and unless approved by the Bankruptcy Court
      presiding over the Tenant's bankrupt estate.

                          RIDER NO. 2 TO OFFICE LEASE

      This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between FOUNTAIN VIEW
INC. ("Tenant"), and CT FOOTHILL 10/241, LLC, a California limited liability
company ("Landlord"), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and
Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that,
the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall
supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease
and in this Rider to the "Lease" shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all
exhibits attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All
capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Lease.

            1.    The provisions of Subparagraph 4.2 of the Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Early Occupancy Date has not
occurred by March 1, 2003 (the "Outside Date") as a result of Landlord's failure
to substantially complete the Leasehold Improvements by such date, which Outside
Date shall be extended day for day by the number of days of Tenant Delays (as
such term is defined in Exhibit "D" to the Lease) and by up to sixty (60) days
of Force Majeure Delays (as defined below), then Tenant shall have the right to
deliver a notice to Landlord (the "Termination Notice") electing to terminate
the Lease effective as of the date of Landlord's receipt of such Termination
Notice (the "Effective Date"). Except as provided herein below, the Termination
Notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord, if at all, not earlier than the
Outside Date and not later than ten (10) business days after the Outside Date.
If Tenant timely delivers the Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord
shall have the right to suspend the Effective Date for a period of thirty (30)
days after the Effective Date stated in the Termination Notice. In order to
suspend the Effective Date, Landlord must deliver to Tenant, within ten (10)
days after receipt of the Termination Notice, a written statement of Landlord's
contractor in charge of construction certifying that in such contractor's good
faith judgment the Leasehold Improvements will be substantially completed within
thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. If the Leasehold Improvements are
substantially completed or the Early Occupancy Date otherwise occurs within said
thirty (30)-day suspension period, then the Termination Notice shall be of no
further force or effect.

            2.    If, prior to the Outside Date (as so extended by Tenant Delays
and Force Majeure Delays), Landlord determines that the Early Occupancy will not
occur by such Outside Date as a result of Landlord's failure to substantially
complete the Leasehold Improvements thereby, Landlord shall have the option to
deliver a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord's opinion as to the date by
which the Leasehold Improvements may be substantially completed and Tenant shall
be required, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, to
either deliver the Termination Notice (which will mean that the Lease shall
thereupon terminate and shall be of no further force and effect) or agree to
extend the Outside Date to that date which is set by Landlord. If the Outside
Date is so extended, Landlord's right to request Tenant to elect to either
terminate or further extend the Outside Date shall remain and shall continue to
remain, with each of the notice periods and response periods set forth above,
until the Leasehold Improvements are substantially completed or the Lease is
terminated, as applicable.

            3.    Subject to the limitations specified herein above, the
Effective Date and Outside Date above shall be extended day for day to the
extent of any Tenant Delays and "Force Majeure Delays". "Force Majeure Delays"
shall mean and refer to a period of delay or delays encountered by Landlord
affecting the work of construction of the Leasehold Improvements because of
delays due to: excess time in obtaining governmental permits or approvals beyond
the time period normally required to obtain such permits or approvals for
similar space, similarly improved in similar office buildings in the area of the
Building; fire, earthquake, inclement weather or other acts of God; acts of the
public enemy; riot; insurrection; governmental regulation of the sales of
materials or supplies or the transportation thereof; strikes or boycotts;
shortages of material or labor; or any other cause beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord.

EXHIBIT 10.1

SEVERANCE AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

     This Severance and General Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between
Allergan, Inc. (the “Company”) and Roy J. Wilson (the “Employee”) (the Company and
the Employee are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”). This Agreement is
entered into because Employee has determined to leave the Company to pursue other interests and the
Company has determined to eliminate the Employee’s job position. This Agreement is effective on
the date that the Employee signs and dates the Agreement (“Agreement Date”).

     1. Benefits to Employee.

     The benefits to Employee under this Section 1 are provided under the Allergan, Inc.
Severance Pay Plan.

          a. The Payment.

     The Company and Employee agree that Employee’s last day of employment by the Company shall be
October 31, 2006 (the “Termination Date”). In consideration of Employee’s execution of
this Agreement, the Company shall provide Employee fourteen (14) months (the “Severance
Period”) base pay, less applicable withholding for state and federal taxes (the
“Payment”). The Payment shall be made on the later of the Termination Date or the next
available payroll date after the eighth calendar day following the Agreement Date, unless Employee
has timely revoked this Agreement as provided in Section 3(c).

     If Employee consents to be rehired by the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any
successor to all or any part of the Company’s business prior to the end of the Severance Period,
Employee shall reimburse the Company for the balance of the Payment. For example, if Employee is
rehired after eight (8) months, Employee must reimburse the Company for six (6) months of severance
pay.

          b. Benefits.

     Medical/Dental & Vision Care insurance benefits will continue for Employee for a period equal
to the Severance Period or until Employee becomes covered under another medical/dental care plan,
whichever comes first. The Company will deduct the standard employee premiums for these health
care benefits in a lump sum from the Payment, in an amount equal to payments for the Severance
Period. A refund will be provided to correspond to the period Employee becomes covered under
another medical/dental plan. Employee may elect to continue medical/dental insurance coverage
after the Severance Period at Employee’s own cost.

          c. Outplacement Counseling.

     Employee shall be eligible for outplacement counseling. In lieu of said counseling, the
Company shall pay to the Employee on the Termination Date the cash amount equal to that which the
Company would have been required to pay to its outplacement counseling service provider for an
employee at the Executive Vice-President, Section 16 Officer level: to wit, $25,000.

          d. Management Bonus Plan.

 

 

     Employee shall receive a 2006 bonus under the Management Bonus Plan. Employee’s 2006
Management Bonus Plan payment shall be made at the customary time such payments are made (but in no
event later than March 1, 2007) and shall be pro-rated for the ten (10) months that Employee was
employed during 2006. As provided for in the Plan, Employee’s 2006 Management Bonus Plan shall be
calculated as follows: 60% of year-end base salary multiplied by five sixths, and multiplied by
the corporate performance percentage that would have been applicable to Employee if he had remained
employed by the Company through the end of the year, should payments be made by the Company under
the 2006 Management Bonus Plan. The Company represents that it will calculate and pay the
Management Bonus to Employee in all respects as if he had remained in the same employment status
with the Company through year end, aside from five-sixth pro-ration.

          e. Long Term Incentive.Restricted Stock And Non-Qualified Stock Options.

     On the Termination Date, Employee’s shares of restricted stock shall be treated consistently
with a “Job Elimination” under Section 5.5 of the Company’s 1989 Incentive Compensation Plan, as
amended.

     On the Termination Date, Employee’s nonqualified stock options shall be treated consistently
with a “Job Elimination” under Section 3.5 of the Company’s 1989 Incentive Compensation Plan, as
amended.

     For the avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Schedule A is a spreadsheet indicating the
details of Employee’s restricted stock and nonqualified stock option grants. As noted on Schedule
A, Employee currently has 9,000 fully vested nonqualified stock options. Consistent with a “Job
Elimination”, all of Employee’s unvested nonqualified stock options, totaling 77,000 stock options,
shall become vested as of the Termination Date and 2,138 shares of Employee’s unvested restricted
stock shall become vested on the Termination Date. All of Employee’s remaining unvested restricted
stock shall expire on the Termination Date.

          f. No Other Payments or Benefits.

     Employee relinquishes and waives any right to receive any other remuneration, income, salary,
options, benefits, or bonuses from the Company.

     2. No Future Employment.

     Employee understands and agrees that Employee’s job position is being eliminated, and that
Employee is giving up his right to future employment or benefits of employment with the Company,
except for the benefits provided in this Agreement. Employee shall not apply for employment with
the Company or its successors, affiliates or subsidiaries, unless invited in writing to do so, and
Employee agrees that all such entities may terminate any employment obtained in breach of this
Agreement.

     3. Mutual Release.

          a. General Release. In exchange for the Benefits set forth above, Employee hereby
releases and forever discharges the Company, its parents, subsidiaries,

2

 

predecessors, successors and each of their associates, owners, stockholders, members, assigns,
employees, agents, directors, officers, partners, representatives, lawyers, and all persons acting
by, through, under, or in concert with them, or any of them, (collectively the “Company

all manner of action or actions, causes or causes of action, in law or in equity, suits, debts,
liens, contracts, agreements, promises, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs or
expenses, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent (hereinafter called

any and all proprietary or other information about the Company Releasees in the possession of

OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR
HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

     EMPLOYEE AND THE COMPANY, BEING AWARE OF SAID CODE SECTION, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS
EACH MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR
EFFECT.
