rent (the "Base Monthly Rent"), which shall be the sum of the following:

               (a) Base Rent;

                         Months 13-24        $19,906.00

                         Months 13-24        $19,906.00
                         Months 25-36        $20,391.00

     3.2  Additional Rent: Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and
continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent (the
"Additional Rent"), (i) Tenant's share of increases in Operating Expenses as
required by paragraph 6.4, (ii) Tenant's share of increases in Real Property
Taxes as required by paragraph 8.2, (iii) Landlord's share of the consideration
received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by
paragraph 14.1, (iv) any late charges or interest due Landlord pursuant to
paragraph 3.5, (v) any legal fees and costs pursuant to paragraph 15.10, and
(vi) any other charges due Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

     3.3  Payment of Rent: All rent required to be paid in monthly installments
shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the
Lease Term. All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States,
without any abatement, deduction or offset for any reason

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   13
whatsoever, and without any prior demand therefor, to Landlord at its address
set forth above or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to
time. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent
shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term.

     3.4  Late Charge and Interest on Rent in Default: Tenant acknowledges that
the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or
any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely
difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without
limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting
expenses. Therefore, if any such Base Monthly or Additional Rent is not
received by Landlord from Tenant within ten (10) days after the same becomes
due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten
percent (10%) of such delinquent rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late
charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair
compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by Tenant's failure to make
timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to
grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any
rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy
available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay each rental installment due
under this Lease in a timely fashion, including the right to terminate this
Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30)
days then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
interest on any rent that is not paid when due at the maximum applicable rate
permitted by Law, but in no event higher than the prime interest rate charged
by Bank of America, from the thirtieth (30th) day following the date such
amount became due until paid.

     3.5  Prepayment of Rent: Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set forth
in paragraph 1.7 as prepayment of rent for credit against the first
installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder.

     3.6  Security Deposit: Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount set
forth in paragraph 1.8 (the "Security Deposit") as security for the performance
by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as
prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the
Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to
remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional
Rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; and (iii)
to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law, and in
this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the
Security Deposit may be put contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California
Civil Code. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so
used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord promptly upon demand an amount in cash
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. Landlord
shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord may use the
Security Deposit in Landlord's ordinary business and shall not be required to
segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Leased Premises
during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent
owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California
Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring
Landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security
Deposit.

any Lender or governmental agency

                                      -13-

<PAGE>   21
requires any testing of the Premises or the Building to ascertain whether there
has been any release of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises or the
Building, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional rent, for the cost of
any such testing or inspection if such testing or inspection, together with any

Landlord's request execute affidavits, representations or other documents
concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any liability, penalties, losses, damages,

claims and/or judgements arising from the use, storage, release or disposal of
any Hazardous Materials in, or about the Premises or the Building by Tenant,
its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or subtenants. For the purposes of
this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any substance or material
which has been designated hazardous or toxic by any federal, state, county,
municipal, or other governmental agency or determined by such agency to be
capable of endangering or posing a risk of injury to, or adverse effect on, the
health or safety of persons, the environment or property, including without

paid by Landlord but not theretofore billed to Tenant, within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written bill therefor from Landlord, on such periodic basis
as Landlord shall designate, but in no event more frequently than once a month.
Alternatively, (i) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable
estimate of increases in the Operating Expenses it anticipates will be paid or
incurred for the calendar year in question, (ii) during such calendar year,

require, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of said
statement, to the end that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's
share of increases in Operating Expenses for such calendar year and no more.
If this Lease terminates or expires on any date other than the last day of a
calendar year, the amount of increase in Operating Expenses payable by Tenant
shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement
of said calendar year to and including the date on which this Lease terminates
or expires bears to 365. Such amount shall be due and payable when rendered
notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Lease. Tenant shall have
the right, exercisable upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, to

the charges contained in such statement. Tenant may not withhold payment pending
completion of such inspection.

hereunder, and subject to the rules and regulations for the Building, Landlord
agrees to furnish to the Leased Premises during ordinary business hours of
generally recognized business days as specified in Exhibit C, page 8, to be
determined by Landlord in its sole discretion (but exclusive, in any event, of
Saturdays after 12:00 noon, Sundays and legal holidays), the following
services: (i) water, gas, and electricity suitable for the intended use of the
Leased Premises; (ii) HVAC services required in Landlord's judgment for the
comfortable use and occupation of the Leased Premises; (iii) janitorial and
window washing services as described in Exhibit "F" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference; and (iv) security services during the times

elevator service. Landlord shall also maintain and keep lighted the common
stairs, entries and rest rooms in the Building. If Tenant makes use of HVAC
services after hours or in amounts greater than provided for under subparagraph
(ii) above Tenant shall pay to Landlord a reasonable charge for such services
ad determined by Landlord. Whenever heat generating machines, excess lighting
or equipment are used in the Leased Premises which affect the temperature
otherwise maintained by the HVAC system, Landlord may install supplementary air
conditioning units in the Leased Premises, and the cost thereof, including the
cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall
be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after being billed for the
same by Landlord.

     7.2  Tenant's Obligations: Tenant shall pay for, prior to delinquency, all
telephone and all other materials and services not expressly required to be

                                      -19-
<PAGE>   27

limitation, machines using excess lighting or using current in excess of 220
volts. Tenant shall not connect to any electric current or water pipes, except
through existing outlets in the Leased Premises any apparatus or device for the
purposes of using electrical current or water. If Tenant shall require water or
electric current or any other resource in excess of that usually furnished or
supplied for the use of the Leased Premises as general office space, Tenant may
do so by use of the master light switch in the Leased Premises. If Landlord
determines that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of any utility
service not separately metered, then Landlord at its election may (i)
periodically charge Tenant, as additional rent, a sum equal to Landlord's
estimate of the cost of Tenant's excess use of such utility service, or (ii)
install a separate meter or computer to measure the utility service supplied to
the Leased Premises, the cost of any such meters or computers and of
installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant

regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe in order to maximize
the efficient operation of the HVAC system and all other utility systems.
Tenant shall keep and cause to be kept closed all window coverings when
necessary because of the sun's position in order to reduce unnecessary energy
consumption.

     8.1  Real Property Taxes Defined:  The term "Real Property Taxes" as used
herein shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any
kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen
(including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any
general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases
resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership or new
construction) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect
power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against or with
respect to, the value, occupancy or use of all or any portion of the Property
(as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or
otherwise changed) or Landlord's interest therein, the fixtures, equipment and
other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and
located on the Property, the gross receipts, income, or rentals from the
Property, or the use of parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the
Property, (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental
regulations or other governmental control of the Property; and (iii) all costs
and fees (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in contesting any
Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public
<PAGE>   29
authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If at any time during the Lease Term
the taxation or assessment of the Property prevailing as of the Effective Date
shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax
described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason
of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or
charge, or any other cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional tax or
charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Property or Landlord's
interest therein or, (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income, or
rentals from the Property, or on Landlord's business of leasing the Property,
or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Property,
then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the
meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes" for purposes of this Lease. If any
Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Property,
then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the
Property shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes".
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include
estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the
federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources.

Santa Clara County Tax Assessments on the property as the base figure for all
determinations of real property tax increase reimbursements hereunder so that
as additional rent, Tenant shall pay Tenant's allocated share of all increases
in real property taxes over those so estimated for the Real Property Tax Base
Year.

          Tenant shall pay its share of increases in Real Property Taxes (i)
within ten (10) days after being billed for the same by Landlord, or (ii) no
later than ten (10) days before such Real Property Taxes become delinquent,
whichever last occurs. If requested by Tenant in writing

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   30
within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill for Tenant's Allocated Share of
Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such evidence as is
reasonably available to Landlord with respect to the amount of any Real Property
Tax which is part of such bill. Tenant may not withhold payment of such bill
pending receipt and/or review of such evidence. If any Lender requires Landlord
to impound Real Property Taxes on a periodic basis during the Lease Term, then
Tenant, on notice from Landlord indicating this requirement, shall pay a sum of
money toward its liability under this Article to Landlord on the same periodic
basis in accordance with the Lender's requirements. Landlord shall impound the
Real Property Tax payments received from Tenant in accordance with the
requirements of the Lender. If any assessments are levied against the Property,
Landlord may elect to either pay the assessment in full or allow the assessment
to go to bond. If Landlord pays the assessment in full, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord each time payment of Real Property Taxes is made a sum equal to that
which would have been payable (as both principal and interest) had Landlord
allowed the assessment to go to bond.

     8.3  Taxes on Tenant's Property: Tenant shall pay before delinquency any
and all taxes, assessments, license fees, and public charges levied, assessed,
or imposed against Tenant or Tenant's estate in this Lease or the property of
Tenant situated within the Leased Premises which become due during the Lease
Term. On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory
evidence of these payments.

procured by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph. If Landlord's lender, insurance
adviser or counsel reasonably determines at any time that the amount and/or
type of coverage required for any policy of insurance Tenant is to obtain

advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate, not to

                                      -25-
<PAGE>   33

exceed the level of coverage commonly carried by comparable businesses
similarly situated for such insurance.

     9.2  Landlord's Insurance:

          A.   Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it
by this Lease, a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in
so-called "fire and extended coverage" form insuring Landlord (and such others
as Landlord may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less than

                                      -26-
<PAGE>   34

determine is reasonably necessary for its protection.

     9.3  Tenant's Obligation to Reimburse: The cost of the insurance carried
by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 9.2 and any "deductible" amount not exceeding
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per occurrence paid by Landlord and excluded

shall pay its share thereof as provided in paragraph 6.3. However, if
Landlord's insurance rates for the Building are increased at any time during

Leased Premises and Landlord does not elect to terminate the Lease, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the full amount of such increase immediately upon
receipt of a bill from Landlord therefor.

     9.4  Release and Waiver of Subrogation: The parties hereto release each
other, and their respective agents, employees, and contractors, from any

obtaining a waiver of subrogation from the insurer. This release shall be in
effect only so long as the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the
effect that this release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover
under such policy. Each party shall use its best efforts to cause each
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation in connection with any injury or damage covered
by such policy. However except as required in paragraph 9.1B above, if any
insurance policy cannot be obtained with such a

                                      -27-
<PAGE>   35
waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver of subrogation is only available at
additional cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver is to be obtained
does not pay such additional cost, then the party obtaining such insurance
shall notify the other party of that fact and thereupon shall be relieved of
the obligation to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights from the insurer
with respect to the particular insurance involved.

members, owners, stockholders, or other principals or representatives of such
business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the assets of such
business entity for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the
assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers,
members, owners, stockholders, principals, or representatives, other than to the
extent of their interest in the assets owned by such business entity.

     10.3  Indemnification of Landlord: Tenant shall hold harmless, indemnify
and defend Landlord and its employees, agents, and contractors, with competent
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from all liability, penalties,
losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims and/or judgments
arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury or property
damage (i) resulting from any cause or causes whatsoever (other than the active
negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord) occurring in or about or resulting
from an occurrence in or about the Leased Premises, (ii) resulting from the
negligence or wilful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees and
contractors, wherever the same may occur, or (iii) resulting from a breach of
Tenant's obligations under this lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any
claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or sooner termination.

                           DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES

     11.1  Landlord's Duty to Restore: If the Leased Premises or Building,
including the parking space, are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date
of this Lease, Landlord shall

                                      -29-
<PAGE>   37
restore the Leased Premises as well as the parking space unless the Lease is
terminated by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 11.2 or by Tenant pursuant to
paragraph 11.3. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property
damage insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 9.2 shall be paid to
and become the property of Landlord. If this lease is terminated pursuant to
either paragraph 11.2 or 11.3, then all insurance proceeds available from
insurance carried by Tenant which covers loss to property that is Landlord's
property or would become Landlord's property on termination of this Lease shall
be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is not so
terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered
by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord
shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the
Leased Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same
condition in which the Leased Premises were immediately prior to such damage.
Landlord's obligation to restore shall be limited to the Leased Premises and
interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Rent
Commencement Date, excluding any Leasehold Improvements, Trade Fixtures and/or
personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the Leased Premises.
Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all Leasehold Improvements and
Trade Fixtures installed by Tenant and existing at the time of such damage or
destruction.

     11.2  Landlord's Right to Terminate: Landlord shall have the option to
terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option
may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage:

          A.   The Building or the Leased Premises are damaged by any peril to
such an extent that the necessary repairs can not, in Landlord's opinion, be
made within sixty (60) days of

                                      -30-

<PAGE>   38
such damage; or

          B.  The Building is damaged by any peril and, be-cause of the Laws
then in force, (i) may not be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the
same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or (ii) may not be used
for the same use being made thereof before such damage whether or not restored
as required by this Article.

          C.  The Building or the Leased Premises are damaged by a peril not
insured against pursuant to the terms of this Lease and Landlord does not
elect, within sixty (60) days of such damage, to nevertheless restore.

     11.3 Tenant's Right to Terminate: If the Leased Premises are damaged by any
peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to
terminate this Lease pursuant to paragraph 11.2, then as soon as reasonably
practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of
Landlord's architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work
required of Landlord may be completed. Tenant shall have the option to terminate
this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be
exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to
terminate within ten (10) days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate
of the time needed to complete such restoration:

          A.  The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the
restoration of the Leased Premises cannot be substantially completed within one
hundred eighty (180) days after commencement of the work of restoration; or

          B.  The Leased premises are damaged by any peril within one hundred
eighty (180) days of the last day of the Leased Term, and, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the restoration of
the Leased Premises cannot be

                                      -31-
<PAGE>   39
substantially completed within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage.

     11.4  Abatement of Rent: In the event of damage to the Leased Premises
which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent
(but not any Additional Rent) shall be temporarily abated during the period of
restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Leased
Premises is impaired by such damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of Tenant's business or property
or for any inconvenience or annoyance caused by such damage or restoration.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section
1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the provisions of any
similar law hereinafter enacted.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                                  CONDEMNATION

     12.1  Landlord's Right to Terminate: Landlord shall have the option to
terminate this Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of
the power of eminent domain (including a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord
to a condemnor under threat of condemnation) all or any material portion of the
Building is so taken. Any such option to terminate by Landlord must be
exercisable within a reasonable period of time, to be effective as of the date
possession is taken by the condemnor.

     12.2  Tenant's Right to Terminate: Tenant shall have the option to
terminate this Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of
the power of eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by
Landlord to any condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all or any
material portion of the Leased Building is so taken, or (ii) such portion of
the Leased Premises is so taken that the part of the Leased premises that
remains cannot be constructed within a reasonable period of time to be made
reasonably suitable for the continued operation of

                                      -32-
<PAGE>   40
the Tenant's business. Tenant must exercise such option within thirty (30) days
of notice of such taking. Such exercise by Tenant shall be effective on the date
that possession of that portion of the Common Area or the Leased Premises that
is condemned is taken by the condemnor.

     12.3 Temporary Taking: If any portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily
taken for ninety days or less, this Lease shall remain in effect. If twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken by
condemnation for a period which either exceeds ninety (90) days or which extends
beyond what would have been the expiration of the Lease Term without such
taking, then Landlord and Tenant shall each independently have the option to
terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the
condemnor.

     12.4 Restoration and Abatement of Rent: If any part of the Building or
Leased premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then
Landlord shall restore the Leased premises and interior improvements constructed
by Landlord as they existed as of the Rent Commencement Date, excluding any
Leasehold Improvements, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or
installed by Tenant. Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking, as of
the date possession is taken the Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion
that the floor area of that part of the Leased Premises so taken (less any
addition thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the original floor
area of the Leased Premises.

     12.5 Division of Condemnation Award: Any award made for any condemnation of
the property or Leased Premises shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any
such award provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any
condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant (i) for the taking of
personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the
interruption of Tenant's business or its moving costs, or (iii) for any
temporary taking where this Lease is not

                                      -33-
<PAGE>   41
terminated as a result of such taking (subject to the requirements of
subparagraph 14.1G), Tenant shall receive any relocated fees that maybe
awarded. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation shall be
determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the
provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and
the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted, allowing either party to
petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial
taking of the Leased Premises.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     13.1 Events of Tenant's Default: Tenant shall be in default of its
obligations under this Lease if any of the following events occurs:

          A. Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or any
Additional Rent when due; or

          B. Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or
condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent
or Additional Rent, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such breach within ten
(10) days after written notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such
breach; or

          C. Tenant shall have made a general assignment of its assets for the
benefit of its creditors; or

          D. Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises or assigned its
interest in the Lease in violation of the provisions contained in Article 14,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or

          E. Tenant shall have permitted the sequestration or attachment of, or
execution on, or the appointment of a custodian or receiver with respect to,
all or any substantial

                                      -34-

<PAGE>   42
part of the property of Tenant or any property essential to the conduct of
Tenant's business and Tenant shall have failed to obtain a return or release of
such property within thirty (30) days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to
such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier; or

          F.   Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises or left the
Leased Premises vacant for more than fourteen (14) days in any sixty (60) day
period; or

          G.   A court shall have made or entered any decree or order with
respect to Tenant or Tenant shall have submitted to or sought a decree or order
(or a petition or pleading shall have been filed in connection therewith)
which: (i) grants or constitutes (or seeks) an order for relief, appointment
of a trustee, or confirmation of a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy
laws of the United States; (ii) approves as properly filed (or seeks such
approval of) a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization under said
bankruptcy laws or any other debtor's relief law or statute of the United
States or any state thereof; or (iii) otherwise directs (or seeks) the winding
up or liquidation of Tenant; and such petition, decree or order shall have
continued in effect for a period of thirty (30) or more days.

     13.2 Landlord's Remedies: In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord
shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may
resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

          A. Landlord may, at Landlord's election, keep this Lease in effect
and enforce by an action at law or in equity all of its rights and remedies
under the Lease, including (i) right to recover the rent and other sums as they
become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments
required of Tenant or perform Tenant's obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant
for the cost thereof with interest at the maximum applicable rate permitted by
Law, but in

                                      -35-
<PAGE>   43

no event higher than the prime interest rate charged by Bank of America, from
the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and
(iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to compel
Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease.

     B. Landlord may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate
on the date set forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this
subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any sums then
due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant for damages or Base Monthly Rent
or any Additional Rent previously accrued or then accruing. In no event shall
any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a
written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination
of this Lease:

          (1) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect
Landlord's interest hereunder;

          (2) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment
of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or
otherwise; or

          (3) Any other action by Landlord or Landlord's agents intended to
mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including
without limitation any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased
Premises or any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portions
thereof, for the account of Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

     C. In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased
Premises, this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written
notice of its election to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of
Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including
those described by subparagraphs B(1), (2) and (3) immediately preceding, shall
constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless Landlord gives

                                      -36-
<PAGE>   44
Tenant written notice of termination. Should Landlord not terminate this Lease
by giving Tenant written notice, Landlord may enforce all its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due under the Lease, as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as in
effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.

          D.   In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled, at Landlord's election, to damages in an amount as set forth in
California Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective Date of this
Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to said Section 1915.2, an
interest rate of the maximum applicable rate permitted by Law, but in no event
higher than the prime interest rate charged by Bank of America, shall be used
where permitted. Such damages shall include without limitation:

               (1)  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,
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%); and

               (2)  Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom, including, without limitation, the following: (i) expenses for
cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; (ii) expenses for
altering,remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose
of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such
installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a
new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker's fees, advertising costs and other
expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the

                                      -37-

<PAGE>   45
Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities, and security
precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Leased Premises; and
(vi) attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking possession
of the Leased Premises and in releasing the Leased Premises or otherwise
incurred as a result of Tenant's default.

               (3)  For purposes of this Article, if it becomes necessary to
determine the amount of Additional Rent that would have become due had Tenant
not breached its obligations under this Lease, all such Additional Rent shall
be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during
the immediately preceding sixty (60) month period, except that if it becomes
necessary to compute such Additional Rent before such a sixty (60) month period
has occurred, then such rent shall be computed on the basis of the average
monthly amount thereof accruing during such shorter period.

          E.   Nothing in this paragraph shall limit Landlord's right to
indemnification from Tenant as provided in paragraph 10.3.

    13.3  Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies: In the event Landlord fails
to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and fails to cure such
default within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the
nature of such default where such default could reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, or fails to commence such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously with due diligence prosecute such cure
to completion where such default could not reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have the following remedies only:

          A.   Tenant may proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to
perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such
failure to perform (except to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages
resulting from injury to person or damage to

                                      -38-
<PAGE>   46
property as provided herein).

          B.   Tenant, at its option, may cure any default of Landlord at
Landlord's costs. If Tenant at any time by reason of Landlord's default
reasonably pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum,
the sum paid by Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the
time the sum is paid, and shall bear interest at the maximum applicable rate
permitted by Law, but in no event higher than the prime interest rate charged
by Bank of America, form the date the sum is paid by Tenant until Tenant is
reimbursed by Landlord.

          C.   Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942
of the California Civil Code and/or any similar or successor law regarding
Tenant's right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the
expenses of such repairs from the rent due under the Lease. Tenant hereby
waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the
State of California, or under any other present or future laws, in the event
Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises by reason
of any default by Tenant.

    13.4  Waiver: One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other
party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent
or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision
hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any
right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party
under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver
of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either
party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein
contained.

                           ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     14.1  By Tenant: Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or assign or
encumber its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily or by operation of
law, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In this regard:

          A.   Any attempted subletting, assignment or encumbrance without
Landlord's prior consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord's election, shall
constitute a default.

          B.   Tenant shall, by written notice, advise Landlord of its desire
from and after a stated date (which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor
more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Tenant's notice), to
sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the term
hereof, and in such event Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by
giving written notice to Tenant thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's
notice, to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Leased Premises
described in Tenant's notice and such notice shall, if given, terminate this
Lease with respect to the portion of the Leased Premises therein described as
of the date stated in Tenant's notice. Said notice by Tenant shall state the
name and address of the proposed subtenant, and Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a true and complete copy of the proposed sublease with said notice. If
said notice shall specify all of the Leased Premises and Landlord shall give
said termination notice with respect thereto, this Lease shall terminate on
the date stated in Tenant's notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate
pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Leased Premises,
the Base Monthly Rent, as defined in paragraph 3.1 and adjusted pursuant to
paragraph 3.2, shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square
feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter
in full force and effect.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>   48

          C. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord all reasonable costs and
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and
documentation of any such requested subletting, assignment or encumbrance. Such
sublease, assignment or encumbrance shall not be effective until (i) Tenant
shall have paid such costs and fees, (ii) each such sublessee, assignee or
transferee shall have agreed in writing for the benefit of Landlord to assume,
to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant, and (iii) an executed copy of such sublease, assignment or encumbrance
shall have been delivered to Landlord.

          D. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of
this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance, or subletting.

          E. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord,
shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and
to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.
The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment or subletting.

          F. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer
in the aggregate over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital
stock of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in
this Lease. The phrase "controlling percentage" means the ownership of and the
right to vote stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued,
outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a
partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or

                                      -41-
<PAGE>   49
by operation of law, of any general partner, or the dissolution of the
partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.

          G.  It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease shall
confer upon Tenant only the right to use and occupy the Premises, and to
exercise such other rights as are conferred upon Tenant by this Lease. The
parties agree that this Lease is not intended to have a bonus value, nor to
serve as a vehicle whereby Tenant may profit by a future Transfer of this Lease
or the right to use or occupy the Premises as a result of any favorable terms
contained herein or any future changes in the market for leased space. It is the
intent of the parties that any such bonus value that may attach to this Lease
shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord. In order to carry out
this intent, if Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease in accordance with
this Article, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of the net consideration if
any received by Tenant as a result of such assignment as and when received by
Tenant. If Tenant sublets all or part of the Leased Premises in accordance with
this Article, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all the positive difference, if
any, between (i) all rent and other consideration paid by the subtenant to
Tenant less (ii) all costs incurred by Tenant incident to the sublease agreement
(including an amount equal to the resulting product of the rent payable
hereunder to Landlord by Tenant during the time period covered by such payments
by the subtenant times a fraction whose numerator is the leasable area of that
portion of the Leased Premises so sublet and whose denominator is Tenant's Gross
Leasable Area). Said consideration shall be payable to Landlord on the same
basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such consideration is paid to
Tenant by its subtenant. In calculating Landlord's right to any periodic
payments, all costs incurred by Tenant incident to the sublease agreement shall
be amortized over the term of the sublease. At the time Tenant makes any payment
to Landlord required by this subparagraph, Tenant shall deliver an itemized
statement of

                                      -42-

<PAGE>   50
the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated, certified by Tenant
as true and correct. Landlord shall have the right to inspect Tenant's books
and records relating to the payments due pursuant to this subparagraph.

      14.2  By Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the
right to transfer their interest in the Leased Premises and the Property at any
time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the
Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer,
the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically
relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for
the performance of the obligations of the landlord hereunder which may accrue
after the date of such transfer, and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability
for the performance of the obligations of the landlord hereunder which have
accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and
perform all such obligations of the landlord hereunder. After the date of any
such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of
such interest in the Leased Premises and the Property.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

      15.1  Landlord's Right to Enter: Landlord and its agents shall have the
right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of
(i) inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility; (iii)
supplying janitorial service or any other service to be provided by Landlord to
Tenant; (iv) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees
or tenants; (v) making necessary alterations, additions, or repairs; (vi)
performing Tenant's obligation when Tenant has failed to do so after written
notice from Landlord; (vii) placing upon the Leased Premises ordinary "for
lease" signs, and/or (viii) in the case of an emergency. For each

                                      -43-
<PAGE>   51
of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises by means of a
master key, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord
may deem necessary and proper to open the doors of the Leased Premises in an
emergency. Any entry to the Leased Premises or portions thereof 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 Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from
the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.

     15.2 Surrender of the Leased Premises: Immediately prior to the expiration
or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Tenant's
Trade Fixtures and other personal property and vacate and surrender the Leased
Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Rent Commencement
Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, all HVAC equipment within the Leased
Premises, if any, installed by Tenant in operating order and in good repair, and
all floors cleaned, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Landlord
may, at Tenant's expense, hire independent contractors to inspect any HVAC
system serving the Leased Premises installed by Tenant or electrical system
within the Leased Premises installed by Tenant for the purpose of determining
whether they have been properly maintained by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay the
cost thereof within ten (10) days after receipt of a statement therefore from
Landlord. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease, remove Tenant's Leasehold Improvements
designated by Landlord and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the
Leased Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the
Leased Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs incurred
at the maximum applicable rate permitted by Law, but in no event higher than the
prime interest rate charged by

                                      -44-
<PAGE>   52
Bank of America. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability
resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises,
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or
losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.

     15.3 Holding Over: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at
the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration
of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly
provided in this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the consent
of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same
terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base
Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the Base Monthly Rent required during the last month of the
Lease Term.

     15.4 Subordination: This Lease is subject and subordinate to all underlying
ground leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Property and are of
public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if
the Landlord under any such lease or any Lender holding such mortgage or deed of
trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be prior
and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant
shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or
instruments which Landlord or such lessor or Lender deems necessary or desirable
to make this Lease prior thereto; At Landlord's election, this Lease shall
become and thereafter remain subject and subordinate to any and all future
ground leases, first mortgages or first deeds of trust affecting the Property
which may hereafter be executed and placed of public record after the Effective
Date of this Lease, or any

                                      -45-
<PAGE>   53
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof,
for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without
regard to the time or character of such advances, so long as the Landlord of
such ground lease or the Lender holding the mortgage or deed of trust to which
this Lease is to be subordinated agrees that it will recognize Tenant's rights
under this Lease and not disturb its quiet possession of the Leased Premises so
long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days
after Landlord's written request therefor to execute, acknowledge and deliver
upon request of Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by
Landlord or such lessor or mortgage holder(s) as may be necessary or proper to
assure the subordination of this Lease to any such ground lease, mortgage or
deed of trust.

      15.5  Tenant's Attornment: Tenant shall attorn (i) to any purchaser of the
Building or Property at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant
to any security instrument encumbering the Building or the Property, (ii) to any
grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or
(iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease should such ground lease
be terminated.

            In no event shall any Lender, purchaser, grantee, transferee or
ground lessor have any liability as to any Security Deposit under this Lease
unless such party shall have actually received the same.

      15.6  Mortgagee Protection: In the event of any default on the part of
Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor
under any underlying ground lease whose name has been provided to Tenant and
shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default,
including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or
judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings, if such should
prove

                                      -46-
<PAGE>   54
necessary to effect a cure.

     15.7 Estoppel Certificate: At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant
agrees, following any request by Landlord, to promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid
in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or
specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other
information about the Lease as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant's
failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after delivery
of Landlord's request therefore shall be a conclusive admission by Tenant that,
as of the date of the request for such statement, except as otherwise set forth
in such request (i) this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect,
(ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) no rent
has been paid in advance. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement
delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee,
beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest
therein.

     15.8 Force Majeure: Any prevention, delay, or stoppage due to strikes,
lockouts, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor,
materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions,
regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts
of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated
to perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a
period equal to the period of any said prevention, delay, or stoppage, of any
obligation hereunder except the obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other
sums due hereunder.

                                      -47-
<PAGE>   55
     15.9  Notices: Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this
Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of
personal service may be given by certified mail. If served by mail, such notice
shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the third business day after mailing
if such notice was deposited in the United States mail, certified and postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to be served at its address first above set
forth and (ii) in all other cases when actually received. Either party may
change its address by giving notice of same in accordance with this paragraph.

     15.10  Attorneys' Fees: In the event Landlord shall bring any action or
legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, to
recover rent, to terminate this Lease or to otherwise enforce, protect or
establish any term or covenant of this Lease the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceedings, or in a separate
action brought for that purpose, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as
may be fixed by the court.

     15.11  Corporate Authority: If Tenant is a corporation (or a partnership),
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or
partnership) represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with the by-laws
of said corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership
agreement of said partnership) and that this Lease is binding upon said
corporation (or partnership) in accordance with its terms. If Tenant is a
corporation, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does
hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing
corporation, that Tenant has and is qualified to do business in California, and
that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease. If
Tenant is a corporation Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after execution
of this Lease, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of the resolution

                                      -48-
<PAGE>   56
of the board of directors of said corporation authorizing or ratifying the
execution of this Lease.

     15.12 Additional Definitions: Any term that is given a special meaning by
any provision in this Lease shall have such meaning when used in this Lease or
any addendum or amendment hereto. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

           A.  Common Area: The term "Common Area" shall mean all areas and
facilities within the Property that are provided and designated by Landlord
from time to time for general use and convenience of the lessees and occupants
of all or any part of the Property, including the lobbies, stairs, elevators,
escalators, corridors, rest rooms, parking areas and facilities, access and
perimeter roads, pedestrian sidewalks, landscaped areas and the like.

           B.  Effective Date: The term "Effective Date" shall mean the date
the last signatory to this Lease whose execution is required to make it binding
on the parties hereto shall have executed this Lease.

           C.  Law: The term "Law" shall mean any judicial decision, statute,
constitution, ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, administrative order, or
other requirement of any municipal, county, state, federal, or other government
agency or authority having jurisdiction over the parties to this Lease or the
Leased Premises or both, in effect either at the Effective Date of this Lease
or any time during the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any
regulation, order, or policy of any quasi-official entity or body (e.g., board
of fire examiners, public utility or special district).

           D.  Leasehold Improvements: The term "Leasehold Improvements" shall
mean all improvements, additions, alterations, and fixtures installed in the
Leased Premises by Tenant at its expense which are not Trade Fixtures.

           E.  Lender: The term "Lender" shall mean any beneficiary, mortgagee,
secured

                                      -49-
<PAGE>   57
party, or other holder of any deed of trust, mortgage or other written security
device or agreement affecting the Property, and the note or other obligations
secured by it.

            F.    Private Restrictions. The term "Private Restrictions" shall
mean all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions, private agreements,
reciprocal easement agreements and any other recorded instruments affecting the
use of the Property, as they may now exist and as they maybe reasonably changed,
altered and modified from time to time.

            G.    Trade Fixtures: The term "Trade Fixtures" shall mean anything
affixed to the Leased Premises by Tenant at its expense for purposes of trade,
manufacture, ornament, or domestic use (except replacement of similar work or
material originally installed by Landlord) which can be removed without injury
to the Leased Premises unless such thing has, by the manner in which it is
affixed, become an integral part of the Leased Premises; provided, however, that
all of Tenant's signs shall be Trade Fixtures regardless of how affixed to the
Leased Premises.

      15.13 Miscellaneous: Should any provision of this Lease prove to be
invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect,
impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions
shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to
the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance
is a factor. Any executed copy of this Lease shall be deemed an original for
all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment,
apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators
and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. "Party" shall mean Landlord or Tenant as
the context implies. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, then
all members of Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. This
Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of California. The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases be
construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not

                                      -50-
<PAGE>   58
strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant. The captions used in this
Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction
or interpretation of any provision hereof. When the context of this Lease
requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership
or corporation or joint venture, and the singular includes the plural. The
terms "shall", "will", and "agree" are mandatory. The term "may" is permissive.
When a party is required to do something by this Lease, it shall do so at its
sole cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other party
unless specific provision is made thereof. All measurements of gross leasable
area shall be made as provided in Exhibit G, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference. Where Tenant is obligated not to perform any act, Tenant
is also obligated to restrain any others within its control from performing
said act, including agents, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and
employees. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer
with Tenant by reason of the provisions of this Lease.

      15.14 Termination By Exercise of Option: If this Lease is terminated
pursuant to its terms by the proper exercise of an option to terminate
specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then this Lease shall
terminate thirty (30) days after the date the option to terminate is properly
exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease creating
the option, in which event the date so specified for termination shall
prevail), the rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of
the date of termination, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further
rights or obligations under this Lease except for those that have accrued prior
to the date of termination. This paragraph does not apply to a termination of
this Lease by Landlord as a result of a default by Tenant.

      15.15 Brokerage Commissions: Tenant warrants and represents that it has
negotiated this Lease directly with Macanan Marketing, Inc. and has not
authorized or employed, or

                                      -51-

<PAGE>   59
acted by implication to authorize or to employ, any other real estate broker or
salesman to act for Tenant in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall
indemnify and defend Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and
all claims by any real estate broker or salesman claims through tenant and
other than those specified in this Article 15 for a commission or finder's fee
as a result of Tenant's entering into this Lease.

     15.16 Arbitration: Any question, dispute or controversy arising under this
Lease or any Exhibit or Addendum thereto which is specifically made subject to
arbitration by the terms hereof shall be determined by arbitration as provided
below. Any such arbitration shall in no way delay or affect the commencement of
the term of the Lease and/or Tenant's obligation to pay rent. Neither Landlord
or Tenant shall have the right, and hereby waive such right, to request or
require arbitration of any question, dispute or controversy arising under the
Lease, or any Exhibit or Addendum thereto, other than those specifically made
subject to arbitration by the terms hereof. Arbitratable questions, disputes or
controversies shall be arbitrated according to the following procedure. Either
Landlord or Tenant may initiate arbitration by giving written notice to the
other stating an intention to arbitrate, the issue to be arbitrated, and the
relief sought. Such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of
the laws of the State of California then in force and the procedural rules of
the American Arbitration Association or its successor insofar as said rules of
procedure do not conflict with said laws or this Paragraph. Once notice to
arbitrate has been given, Landlord and Tenant shall within ten (10) days select
one joint arbitrator, or if they cannot agree on one joint arbitrator then each
shall select an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of delivery of said notice
and notify the other party of its selection. The two arbitrators selected shall
designate the third arbitrator forthwith. The three arbitrators shall convene in
San Jose, California and offer Landlord and Tenant the opportunity to present
their cases. If any party

                                      -52-
<PAGE>   60
fails to appear, participate or produce evidence in an arbitration proceeding,
the arbitrators may make their award and decision based solely on the evidence
actually presented. The arbitrators shall, by majority vote, make such award
and decision as is appropriate and in accord with the terms of this Lease, and
such award and decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and
enforceable in a court of law. Said award and decision shall include an award
to the prevailing party of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and costs of
arbitration. In the event either party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the
two arbitrators fail to select a third arbitrator within the time required by
this paragraph, upon application of either party the missing arbitrator shall
be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or if there be no
American Arbitration Association or it shall refuse to perform this function,
then by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of
California for Santa Clara County.

     15.17 Entire Agreement: The Lease, Exhibits "A" (Property Plan), "B"
(Floor Plan), "C" (Rules and Regulations), "D" (Tenant Improvement Agreement),
"E" (Tenant Estoppel), "F" (Janitorial Services), "G" (Net Rentable
Measurement), "H" (Lease Guaranty), which are executed by Landlord and Tenant
concurrently with this Lease and are attached hereto (and by this reference
incorporated herein), constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and
there are no binding agreements or representations between the parties except
as expressed herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord's
agent(s) has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the
Leased Premises or the Common Area for the conduct of Tenant's business or the
condition of any improvements located thereon. Tenant expressly waives all
claims for damage by reason of any statement, representation, warranty,
promise, or other agreement of Landlord or Landlord's agent(s), if any, not
contained in this Lease or in any addendum or amendment hereto. No subsequent
change or addition to this Lease shall be binding

                                      -53-
<PAGE>   61
unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease with the
intent to be legally bound thereby, to be effective as of the Effective Date of
this Lease.

                             RULES AND REGULATIONS

1.    Sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, parking aisles, elevators,
and stairways shall not be obstructed by Tenants or used by them for any
purpose other than for ingress to and egress from their respective premises.
The halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators, and stairways are not for the
use of the general public and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to
control and prevent access thereto by all persons whose presence, in the
judgment of Landlord, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character,
reputation, and interests of the Building and its Tenants, provided that
nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access to persons
with whom any Tenant normally deals in the ordinary course of such Tenant's
business unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities. No Tenant, and
no employees or invitees of any Tenant, shall go upon the roof of the building,
except as authorized by Landlord.

2.    No sign, placard, picture, name, advertisement, or notice, visible from
the exterior of the leased premises shall be inscribed, painted, affixed,
installed, or otherwise displayed by any Tenant either on its premises or any
part of the building without the prior written consent of Landlord, and
Landlord shall have the right to remove any such sign, placard, picture, name,
advertisement, or notice without notice to and at the expense of the Tenant.

If Landlord shall have given such consent to any Tenant at any time, whether
before or after the execution of the lease, such consent shall in no way
operate as a waiver or release of any of the provisions hereof or of such
lease, and shall be deemed to relate only to the particular sign, placard,
picture, name, advertisement, or notice so consented to by Landlord and shall
not be construed as dispensing with the necessity of obtaining the specific
written consent of Landlord with respect to any other such sign, placard,
picture, name, advertisement, or notice.

All approved signs or lettering on doors and walls shall be printed, painted,
affixed or inscribed at the expense of the Tenant by a person approved by
Landlord.

3.    The bulletin board or directory of the Building will be provided
exclusively for the display of the name and location of Tenants only and
Landlord reserves the right to exclude any other names therefrom.

4.    No curtains, exterior draperies, blinds, shutters, shades, screens, or
other coverings, awnings, hangings, or decorations shall be attached to, hung or

                                 LEASE GUARANTY

     This Lease Guaranty ("Guaranty") is executed this 3 day of May, 2001 by
Ray Musci (Individual) ("Guarantor") in favor of Macanan Investments, a
California general partnership ("Lessor").

                                    RECITALS

     A. Lessor has entered into a lease (the "Lease") with Bay Area Multimedia,
Inc., A Delaware Corporation ("Lessee"), dated May 3, 2001 whereby Lessee has
leased from Lessor approximately the real property located at 333 W. Santa
Clara Street, Suite 716, San Jose, CA 95113 more particularly described in the
Lease (the "Premises").

     B. Pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Lease, Lessee
is and will be subject to certain obligations, agreements, duties and
covenants (collectively "Lessee's Obligations").

     C. Lessor has requested that Guarantor guarantee to Lessor the punctual
and full performance and observance of all of Lessee's Obligations and, but for
Guarantor's agreement to so guarantee Lessee's Obligations, Lessor would not
enter into the Lease.

     D. It is the intent of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be subject at all
times to this Guaranty and be and remain liable to Lessor to the same extent as
if it were jointly and severally liable with Lessee to Lessor for the full
performance of all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Lease.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of
which is acknowledged, and as a material inducement to and in consideration of
Lessor entering into the Lease with Lessee, Guarantor hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1
                              CONTINUING GUARANTY

     Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lessor, its
successors and assigns, the full and prompt performance of all of Lessee's
Obligations including but not limited to the payment when due of all rents,
charges of additional sums coming due under the Lease, and the performance of
all covenants and agreements of the Lessee contained in the Lease. Guarantor
further unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment of all damages
that may arise or be incurred by Lessor, its successors and assigns as the
consequence of Lessee's failure to perform any of Lessee's Obligations.
Guarantor unconditionally further agrees to pay all expenses, including
attorney's fees and legal expenses, paid or incurred by Lessor in endeavoring to
collect or enforce Lessee's Obligations or any part thereof. Such payment and
performance is to be made or performed by Guarantor forthwith upon a default by
Lessee. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty arises out of the conduct of a
trade, business or profession.

     In the event of the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessee, or
the inability of Lessee to pay debts as they mature, or an assignment by Lessee
for the benefit of creditors, or the institution of any bankruptcy or other
proceedings by or against Lessee alleging that Lessee is insolvent or unable to
pay debts as they mature, or Lessee's default under the Lease, and if such
event shall occur at a time when any of Lessee's Obligations may not then be
due and payable, Guarantor agrees to pay to Lessor upon demand, the full amount
which would be payable hereunder by Guarantor if all Lessee's Obligations were
then due and payable.

     This Guaranty shall be an absolute and unconditional guaranty and shall
remain in full force and effect as to Guarantor for the full term of the Lease
any extensions thereof. Notwithstanding termination of the Lease, Guarantor
shall continue to be liable for all Lessee's Obligations which have accrued up
to and including the date of termination.

     Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall not be released from the
obligations of this Guaranty, nor shall such obligations be diminished or
otherwise affected by (a) any extension of time or other indulgence granted to
Lessee or other guarantors, or by a waiver with respect to Lessee's Obligations
or any of them, (b) any assignment of the Lease or any subletting of the all or
any portion of the Premises, (c) any amendment or modification of the Lease
(except to the extent such amendment or modification affects Lessee's
Obligations) or (d) any other act or omission of Lessor other than a written
waiver.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                     LESSOR'S RIGHT TO ADDITIONAL SECURITY

     Lessor may, from time to time, without notice to Guarantor and without the
necessity of Guarantor consenting thereto: (a) retain or obtain the primary or
secondary liability of any third party or parties, in addition to Guarantor,
with respect to any of Lessee's Obligations, (b) retain or obtain security
interests in any property owned by any third parties to secure any of Lessee's
Obligations, (c) extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the
original period), alter or exchange the Lease or any of Lessee's Obligations,
(d) release, waive or compromise any liability of Guarantor or any liability of
any other party or parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of Lessee's
Obligations, (e) release or impair any security interest or lien, if any, in
all or any property securing any of Lessee's Obligations or any obligation of
Guarantor and permit any substitution or exchange for any such property, and
(f) resort to Guarantor for payment of any of Lessee's Obligations, whether or
not Lessor shall have resorted to any property securing any of Lessee's
Obligations or any obligation of Guarantor or shall have proceeded against
Lessee or any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of Lessee's
Obligations. No such action or failure to act by Lessor shall affect
Guarantor's liability hereunder in any manner whatsoever. Any amount received
by Lessor from any source and applied by Lessor toward the payment of Lessee's
Obligations shall be applied in such order of application as Lessor may from
time to time elect.

no final or partial exercise by Lessor of any right or remedy shall preclude
other or further exercises thereof or the exercises of any other right or
remedy. The validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder shall not be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of any action

not the term of the Lease shall terminate by reason of such bankruptcy,
insolvency or inability to pay debts as they mature.
