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

                         Pursuant to Section 151 of the
                General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
                    ----------------------------------------

     Metaldyne Corporation (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify
that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company
by its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (hereinafter referred
to as the "Certificate of Incorporation") and pursuant to the provisions of
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, said Board
of Directors, at a special meeting of said Board of Directors held on [ ], 20[
], duly approved and adopted the following resolution (the "Resolution"):

          NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested
     in the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of
     Directors hereby creates, authorizes and approves and provides for the
     issuance of two series of preferred stock of the Company, designated as (i)
     Series A-1 Preferred Stock and (ii) Series A-2 Preferred Stock, having the
     designations, preferences, relative, participating, optional and other
     special rights of the shares of each such series, and the qualifications,
     limitations and restrictions thereof that are as follows:

          (1) DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. The designation of the two series of
     preferred stock authorized by this resolution shall be (i) Series A-1
     Preferred Stock, par value one dollar ($1.00) per share and (ii) Series A-2
     Preferred Stock, par value one dollar ($1.00) per share. The number of
     shares constituting Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be [Six Hundred Forty
     Four Thousand Five Hundred and Forty (644,540)] shares and the number of
     shares constituting Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be [Six Hundred Forty
     Four Thousand Five Hundred and Forty (644,540)]. The Series A-1 Preferred
     Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock are hereinafter referred to as the
     "New Preferred Stock"). The Series A-2 Preferred Stock will be issuable
     solely in exchange for Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the basis set forth in
     the Registration Rights Agreement dated __________, [___] by and among the
     initial holders of the New Preferred Stock relating to the New Preferred

                                      -2-

     Stock. The New Preferred Stock shall have the following rights, terms and
     privileges set forth in subsections (2) through (12) below.

          (2) DIVIDENDS ON NEW PREFERRED STOCK. (a) The holders of the New
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by
     the Company's Board of Directors, out of the funds of the Company legally
     available therefor pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
     "Legally Available Funds"), cumulative dividends on each share of New
     Preferred Stock for each Quarterly Dividend Period (as hereinafter defined)
     equal to the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter defined) of each such
     share multiplied by a rate (with respect to the New Preferred Stock, the
     "Quarterly Dividend Rate") equal to 11% per annum, plus, 2% per annum for
     any period for which there are any accrued and unpaid dividends in respect
     of any previous Quarterly Dividend Periods or the Company is otherwise in
     default with respect to any of its obligations in respect of the New
     Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the date of
     original issue of such shares. Accrued and unpaid dividends on the New
     Preferred Stock shall accrue additional dividends in respect thereof (with
     respect to the New Preferred Stock, the "Additional Dividends"), compounded
     quarterly, at the Quarterly Dividend Rate then applicable to the New
     Preferred Stock. Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of record
     of shares of New Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of
     the Company on such record date as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors
     of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof, which date shall be
     not more than 30 days nor less than 10 days preceding the dividend payment
     date relating thereto.

          (b) If dividends (including Additional Dividends) are not paid in full
     or declared in full and sums are not set apart for the payment thereof upon
     the New Preferred Stock and any other Parity Securities (as hereinafter
     defined), all dividends declared upon shares of New Preferred Stock and any
     other Parity Securities shall be declared pro rata so that in all cases the
     amount of dividends declared per share on the New Preferred Stock and such
     other Parity Security shall bear to each other the same ratio that
     accumulated dividends per share, including dividends accrued or in arrears,
     if any, on the shares of New Preferred Stock and such other Parity Security
     shall bear to each other; provided that no dividends shall be declared on
     any Parity Security if the New Preferred Stock is in arrearage unless the
     number of Quarterly Dividend Periods for which the New Preferred Stock is
     in arrears does not exceed the number of quarterly periods for which such
     Parity Security is in arrearage immediately prior to the making of the such
     pro rata dividends.

          (c) Dividends (including Additional Dividends) payable on the New
     Preferred Stock for any period less than a full Quarterly Dividend Period
     shall be com-

<PAGE>
                                      -3-

     puted on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual
     number of days elapsed in the period for which payable.

          (d) "Quarterly Dividend Period" means, with respect to the New
     Preferred Stock, the period from January 1 through the next March 31, from
     April 1 through the next June 30, from July 1 through the next September
     30, or from October 1 through the next December 31, as the case may be;
     provided that the first Quarterly Dividend Period shall mean the period
     commencing the day shares of New Preferred Stock are originally issued and
     ending on [END OF FIRST SHORT QUARTERLY DIVIDEND PERIOD].

          (e) "Business Day" means, with respect to the New Preferred Stock, any
     day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any day on which banking
     institutions in the State of New York or the New York Stock Exchange is
     closed.

          (3) REDEMPTION OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK. (a) Mandatory Redemption. The
     Company shall redeem, out of Legally Available Funds, on [THE DIVIDEND
     PAYMENT DATE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE DATE THAT IS 10 YEARS AFTER
     ISSUANCE] all then outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock at a cash
     redemption price of 100% of the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter
     defined). Immediately prior to authorizing or making any such redemption
     with respect to the New Preferred Stock, the Company, by resolution of its
     Board of Directors shall, to the extent of any Legally Available Funds,
     declare a dividend on the New Preferred Stock payable on the redemption
     date in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (including
     Additional Dividends) on the New Preferred Stock as of such date and, if
     the Company does not have sufficient Legally Available Funds to declare and
     pay all dividends (including Additional Dividends) accrued at the time of
     such redemption, any remaining accrued and unpaid dividends (including
     Additional Dividends) shall be added to the redemption price. If the
     Company shall fail to discharge its obligation to redeem all of the
     outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock required to be redeemed pursuant
     to this subsection (3) (the "Mandatory Redemption Obligation"), the
     Mandatory Redemption Obligation shall be discharged as soon as the Company
     is able to discharge such Mandatory Redemption Obligation and the Voting
     Period set forth in subsection (8) will apply in accordance with its terms,
     without otherwise affecting the Company's obligations hereunder.

          (b) Optional Redemption. The New Preferred Stock shall be redeemable,
     in whole or in part, out of Legally Available Funds, at the option of the
     Company at any time by resolution of its Board of Directors, for a cash
     redemption price of 100% of the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter
     defined), upon giving notice as provided in paragraph (c) below.
     Immediately prior to authorizing or making any such redemption with respect
     to the New Preferred Stock, the Company by resolution of its Board of
     Direc-

<PAGE>
                                      -4-

     tors shall, to the extent of any Legally Available Funds, declare a
     dividend on the New Preferred Stock payable on the redemption date in an
     amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (including Additional
     Dividends) on the New Preferred Stock as of such date and if the Company
     does not have sufficient Legally Available Funds to declare and pay all
     dividends (including Additional Dividends) accrued at the time of such
     redemption, any remaining accrued and unpaid dividends (including
     Additional Dividends) shall be added to the redemption price.
     Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (b) or of subsection (11),
     unless the full cumulative dividends (including Additional Dividends) on
     all outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock shall have been paid or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid for all past dividend periods, none
     of the shares of New Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all
     outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed.

          (c) Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days
     prior to the date fixed for the redemption of shares of the New Preferred
     Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, a written notice shall be
     mailed to each holder of record of shares of New Preferred Stock to be
     redeemed in a postage prepaid envelope addressed to such holder at his post
     office address as shown on the records of the Company, notifying such
     holder of the election of the Company to redeem such shares, stating the
     date fixed for redemption thereof (hereinafter referred to as the
     redemption date) and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Company
     on the redemption date at the place designated in such notice his
     certificate or certificates representing the number of shares specified in
     such notice of redemption. On or after the redemption date each holder of
     shares of New Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender
     his certificate or certificates for such shares to the Company at the place
     designated in such notice and thereupon the redemption price of such shares
     shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such
     certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered
     certificate shall be canceled. In case less than all the shares represented
     by such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued
     representing the unredeemed shares. From and after the redemption date
     (unless default shall be made by the Company in payment of the redemption
     price) all dividends on the shares of New Preferred Stock designated for
     redemption in such notice shall cease to accrue and all rights of the
     holders thereof as stockholders of the Company, except the right to receive
     the redemption price thereof (including an amount equal to all accrued and
     unpaid dividends up to the redemption date) upon the surrender of
     certificates representing the same, shall cease and terminate and such
     shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the
     Company) on the books of the Company and such shares shall not be deemed to
     be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. At its election, the Company
     prior to the redemption date may deposit the redemption price (including an
     amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the redemption date)
     of the shares of New Preferred Stock so called for redemption in trust for
     the

<PAGE>
                                      -5-

     holders thereof with a bank or trust company in the Borough of Manhattan,
     City and State of New York, in which case such notice to holders of the New
     Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall state the date of such deposit, shall
     specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of
     the redemption price and shall call upon such holders to surrender the
     certificates representing such shares at such price on or after the date
     fixed in such redemption notice (which shall not be later than the
     redemption date) against payment of the redemption price (including all
     accrued and unpaid dividends up to the redemption date). From and after the
     making of such deposit, the shares of New Preferred Stock so designated for
     redemption shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever
     and the rights of the holders of such shares shall be limited to the right
     to receive the redemption price of such shares (including all accrued and
     unpaid dividends up to the redemption date), without interest, upon
     surrender of the certificates representing the same to the Company at said
     office of such bank or trust company. Any interest accrued on such funds
     shall be paid to the Company from time to time. Any moneys so deposited
     which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such New Preferred Stock at
     the end of six months after the redemption date shall be returned by such
     bank or trust company to the Company, after which the holders of the New
     Preferred Stock shall have no further interest in such moneys, except as
     unsecured claimants of the Company.

          (d) Reissuances. Shares of New Preferred Stock which have been issued
     and reacquired in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed or
     exchanged, shall be canceled and retired and shall not be reissued as
     shares of New Preferred Stock and, following any required filing with the
     Delaware Secretary of State, such shares shall resume the status of
     authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

          (e) Selection of Shares to be Redeemed. If less than all of the shares
     of New Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Board of Directors of the
     Company shall allocate the total liquidation preference to be redeemed pro
     rata.

          (4) EXCHANGE OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK. (a) The Company may, at its
     option by resolution of its Board of Directors, exchange in whole, but not
     in part, the then outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock for 11% Senior
     Subordinated Notes due [INSERT MATURITY DATE OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK] (the
     "Exchange Notes") of the Company with a principal amount equal to the
     Liquidation Preference (plus, without duplication, any Additional
     Dividends) of the New Preferred Stock; provided that (i) on the date of
     such exchange there are no contractual impediments to such exchange; (ii)
     there shall be legally available funds sufficient therefor; (iii)
     immediately

<PAGE>
                                      -6-

     after giving effect to such exchange, no Default or Event of Default (each
     as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture the form of which is
     attached hereto as Annex A (the "Exchange Indenture"))* would exist under
     the Exchange Indenture with respect to the Exchange Notes or would be
     caused thereby; and (iv) Exchange Indenture has been qualified under the
     Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), if
     such qualification is required at the time of exchange.

          (b) Upon any exchange pursuant to Section 4(a) above, holders of
     outstanding New Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, subject to the
     second succeeding sentence of this paragraph, $1.00 principal amount of
     Exchange Notes for each $1.00 of the aggregate Liquidation Preference,
     (plus, without duplication, any Additional Dividends) of New Preferred
     Stock held by them, with any accrued but undeclared and unpaid dividends
     for the current Quarterly Dividend Period to the Exchange Date (as
     hereinafter defined) being credited to the holder of such Exchange Notes in
     the form of accrued interest on the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will
     be issued in registered form, without coupons. The Exchange Notes will be
     issued in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof to the
     extent possible, and will also be issuable in principal amounts of less
     than $1,000 so that each holder of New Preferred Stock will receive
     certificates representing the entire amount of Exchange Notes to which such
     holder's shares of New Preferred Stock entitle such holder; provided that
     the Company may pay cash in lieu of issuing any Exchange Notes having a
     principal amount less than $1,000. Notice of the intention to exchange
     shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company not more than 60 days nor less
     than 30 days prior to the Exchange Date by first class mail, postage
     prepaid, to each holder of record of New Preferred Stock at its registered
     address. In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall
     state: (i) the date of exchange (the "Exchange Date"); (ii) the place or
     places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for
     exchange, including any procedures applicable to exchanges to be
     accomplished through book-entry transfers; and (iii) that dividends on the
     shares of New Preferred Stock to be exchanged will cease to accrue on the
     Exchange Date. If notice of any exchange has been properly given, and if on
     or before the Exchange Date the Exchange Notes have been duly executed and
     authenticated and deposited with the transfer agent, then on and after the
     close of business on the Exchange Date, the shares of New Preferred Stock
     to be exchanged will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights
     of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Company will cease, except
     the right of the holders to receive

----------

*    Note: Will be the same as 10% Senior Subordinated Notes being issued in
     deal, but without guarantees.

<PAGE>
                                      -7-

     upon surrender of their certificates the Exchange Notes and all accrued
     interest, if any, thereon.

          (5) CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) If a Change in Control (as hereinafter
     defined) shall occur at any time, then each holder of New Preferred Stock
     shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such holder's New
     Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, out of Legally Available Funds at a
     cash purchase price (a "Change in Control Payment") in an amount equal to
     101% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
     dividends (including Additional Dividends), if any, to the date of
     purchase, pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change in Control
     Offer") and the other procedures set forth herein.

          (b) Within the time period specified in subsection (5)(d) below, the
     Company will mail a notice to each holder of New Preferred Stock, with the
     following information: (i) a Change in Control Offer is being made pursuant
     to this subsection (5) and that all New Preferred Stock properly tendered
     pursuant to such Change in Control Offer will be accepted for payment; (ii)
     the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30
     days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, except as
     may be otherwise required by applicable law (the "Change in Control Payment
     Date"); (iii) any New Preferred Stock not properly tendered will remain
     outstanding and continue to accrue dividends; (iv) unless the Company
     defaults in making the Change in Control Payment, all New Preferred Stock
     accepted for payment pursuant to the Change in Control Offer will cease to
     accumulate dividends on the Change in Control Payment Date; (v) holders of
     New Preferred Stock electing to have any shares of New Preferred Stock
     purchased pursuant to a Change in Control Offer will be required to
     surrender such shares, properly endorsed for transfer, to the transfer
     agent for the New Preferred Stock at the address specified in the notice
     prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the
     Change in Control Payment Date; (vi) holders of New Preferred Stock will be
     entitled to withdraw their tendered shares of New Preferred Stock and their
     election to require the Company to purchase such shares, provided that the
     transfer agent receives, not later than the close of business on the last
     day of the offer period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
     letter setting forth the name of the holder of New Preferred Stock, the
     number of shares of New Preferred Stock tendered for purchase, and a
     statement that such holder is withdrawing his tendered shares of New
     Preferred Stock and his election to have such shares of New Preferred Stock
     purchased; and (vii) that holders whose shares of New Preferred Stock are
     being purchased only in part will be issued new shares of New Preferred
     Stock equal in number to the unpurchased portion of the shares of New
     Preferred Stock surrendered.

          (c) On the Change in Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the
     extent permitted by law, (i) accept for payment all shares of New Preferred
     Stock properly

<PAGE>
                                      -8-

     tendered pursuant to the Change in Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the
     transfer agent for the New Preferred Stock an amount in cash equal to the
     aggregate Change in Control Payment in respect of all shares of New
     Preferred Stock so tendered and (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
     such transfer agent for cancellation the shares of New Preferred Stock so
     accepted. The Company shall promptly mail, or cause to be mailed, to each
     holder of New Preferred Stock the Change in Control Payment for such New
     Preferred Stock, and new shares of New Preferred Stock equal in aggregate
     liquidation preference to any unpurchased portion of New Preferred Stock
     surrendered, if any. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the
     Change in Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change in
     Control Payment Date. The Company may act as transfer agent for the New
     Preferred Stock.

          (d) The Company shall mail the notice referred to in subsection (5)(b)
     above not later than 60 days after learning of a Change in Control
     specified in clause (e)(i) or (ii) below or not more than 60 days after an
     occurrence specified in clause (e)(iii) or (iv) (except to the extent the
     occurrence referred to in clause (e)(iv) would otherwise have occurred
     under clause (e)(i) or (ii) below) (such 60th day being the "Notice Trigger
     Date"). Prior to making a Change in Control Offer, but in any event not
     later than the Notice Trigger Date, the Company covenants to (i) repay in
     full all indebtedness under agreements containing change of control puts or
     defaults (and terminate all commitments thereunder) or offer to repay in
     full all such indebtedness (and terminate all commitments) and to repay the
     indebtedness owed to (and terminate the commitments of) each creditor which
     has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consents in respect of
     such indebtedness to permit the purchase of the New Preferred Stock. The
     Company will first comply with the covenant in the preceding sentence
     before it will be required to repurchase New Preferred Stock pursuant to
     the provisions described below; provided that the Company's failure to
     comply with the covenant described in the preceding sentence shall give
     rise to (x) a Voting Period under subsection (8) below and (y) an increase
     in the Quarterly Dividend Rate on the New Preferred Stock to 13% per annum
     pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2(a) above to the extent such rate
     is not otherwise at 13% per annum, without otherwise affecting the
     Company's obligations hereunder.

          (e) The occurrence of any of the following events will constitute a
     "Change in Control":

               (i) if Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. and its Affiliates
          (collectively "Heartland") (A) cease to directly or indirectly
          beneficially own 40% or more of the number of shares of common stock
          of the Company received by them in the merger (appropriately adjusted
          for stock splits, combinations, subdivisions, stock dividends and
          similar events) provided for under the

          Company and Riverside Company LLC (the "Recapitalization Agreement")
          (after taking account of any commitments or agreements in principle
          existing prior to such merger for Heartland to sell some of its shares
          of common stock of the Company following such merger) or (B) do not
          have the right or ability by voting power, contract or otherwise to
          elect or designate for election a majority of the Board of Directors
          of the Company or (C) cease to, directly or indirectly, beneficially
          own 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
          stock (appropriately adjusted for stock splits, combinations,
          subdivisions, stock dividends and similar events) beneficially owned
          as of [CLOSING DATE OF JOINT VENTURE], provided that this clause (C)
          shall only be operative as long as DaimlerChrysler Corporation or its
          controlled affiliates own a majority of the then outstanding shares of
          New Preferred Stock in order to amend (in its sole discretion) this
          Certificate of Incorporation; provided that the foregoing subclause
          (B) and (C) will not be operative after any underwritten public
          offering of common stock of the Company];

               (ii) any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") other than
          Heartland (an "other entity") shall attain beneficial ownership,
          within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 adopted under the 1934 Act, of
          capital stock representing a majority of the voting power for the
          election of the Directors of the Company;

               (iii) the Company, directly or indirectly, consolidates or merges
          with any other entity or sells or leases it properties and assets
          substantially as an entirety to any other entity, provided that this
          clause shall not apply to a transaction if, immediately following such
          transaction, no person or group, within the meaning of Section
          13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act, other than Heartland, beneficially owns
          capital stock representing a majority of the voting power for the
          election of Directors of the Company; and

               (iv) any event constituting a "change of control" in the
          Company's Senior Credit Facilities. As used herein, "Senior Credit
          Facilities" means the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date of the
          Merger (as defined under the Recapitalization Agreement dated August
          1, 2000 between the Company and Riverside Company LLC), among The
          Chase Manhattan Bank, Chase Securities Inc., the Company and certain
          of its subsidiaries and the other lenders and financial institutions
          party thereto from time to time, as the same may be amended, modified,
          waived, refinanced or replaced from time to time (whether under a new
          credit agreement or otherwise).

          (6) QUALIFYING EQUITY. In the event of an Equity Offering Triggering
     Event (as hereinafter defined), each holder of New Preferred Stock shall
     have the right to require that the Company purchase each such holder's New
     Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, out of Legally Available Funds at a
     cash purchase price (a "Qualifying Equity Payment") in an amount equal to
     101% of the Liquidation Preference, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends,
     if any, to the date of purchase, but only to the extent of the Excess
     Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) received by the Company in the case of an
     Equity Offering Triggering Event referred to in clause (x) of the
     definition thereof or out of the net proceeds received by the Company from
     any Subsequent Offering (the "Subsequent Offering Proceeds"), in the case
     of an Equity Offering Triggering Event referred to in clause (y) of the
     definition thereof, pursuant to the offer described below (the "Qualifying
     Equity Proceeds Offer") and the other procedures set forth herein. As used
     herein, "Equity Offering Triggering Event" means either (x) one or more
     underwritten public offerings of common stock of the Company for gross
     proceeds to the Company of $200.0 million or more and to the extent that
     there are net proceeds to the Company in excess of amounts required to
     finance any proposed or contemplated Acquisition (as hereinafter defined)
     as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (such determination
     of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be conclusive), whether or
     not publicly announced, or refinance, refund or replace (i) any debt or
     (ii) any Senior Securities (as hereinafter defined) or (iii) any preferred
     stock, incurred, issued or assumed in connection with any Acquisition
     ("Excess Proceeds") (the first or more recent of such offerings being
     referred to as a "Qualifying Equity Offering") or (y) the occurrence of (i)
     an underwritten initial public offering of common stock of the Company and
     (ii) the occurrence of any subsequent underwritten primary public offering
     of common stock of the Company (a "Subsequent Offering"), provided that the
     aggregate proceeds to the Company from such offerings under this clause (y)
     is $400.0 million or more (the "Gross Proceeds Condition") (such Subsequent
     Offering is also referred to as a "Qualifying Equity Offering" to the
     extent the Gross Proceeds Condition is satisfied). Once a Qualifying Equity
     Proceeds Offer is made with respect to any and all outstanding shares of
     New Preferred Stock, no further Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer need be
     made.

          Within 30 days following any Qualifying Equity Offering, the Company
     will mail a notice to each holder of New Preferred Stock to the extent of
     the Excess Proceeds or Subsequent Offering Proceeds, as the case may be,
     with the following information: (i) A Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer is
     being made pursuant to this subsection (6), and that all New Preferred
     Stock properly tendered pursuant to such Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer
     will be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis (or as nearly a pro rata
     basis as practicable) to the extent of the Excess Proceeds or Subsequent
     Offering Proceeds, as the case may be; (ii) the purchase price and the
     purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
     from the date such

<PAGE>
                                      -11-

     notice is mailed, except as may be otherwise required by applicable law
     (the "Qualifying Equity Payment Date"); (iii) any New Preferred Stock not
     properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accumulate
     dividends; (iv) unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
     Qualifying Equity Payment, all New Preferred Stock accepted for payment
     pursuant to the Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer will cease to accumulate
     dividends on the Qualifying Equity Payment Date; (v) holders of New
     Preferred Stock electing to have any shares of New Preferred Stock
     purchased pursuant to a Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer will be required
     to surrender such shares, properly endorsed for transfer, to the transfer
     agent for the New Preferred Stock at the address specified in the notice
     prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the
     Qualifying Equity Payment Date; (vi) holders of New Preferred Stock will be
     entitled to withdraw their tendered shares of New Preferred Stock and their
     election to require the Company to purchase such shares; provided that the
     transfer agent receives, not later than the close of business on the last
     day of the offer period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
     letter setting forth the name of the holder of the New Preferred Stock, the
     aggregate liquidation preference of New Preferred Stock tendered for
     purchase, and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his tendered
     shares of New Preferred Stock and his election to have such shares of New
     Preferred Stock purchased; and (vii) that holders whose shares of New
     Preferred Stock are being purchased only in part will be issued new shares
     of New Preferred Stock equal in number to the unpurchased portion of the
     shares of New Preferred Stock surrendered, which unpurchased portion must
     be in whole shares.

          On the Qualifying Equity Payment Date, the Company shall, to the
     extent permitted by law, (i) accept for payment all shares of New Preferred
     Stock properly tendered pursuant to the Qualifying Equity Proceeds Offer on
     a pro rata basis (or as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable) to the
     extent of any Excess Proceeds or Subsequent Offering Proceeds, as the case
     may be, (ii) deposit with the transfer agent for the New Preferred Stock an
     amount in cash equal to the aggregate Qualifying Equity Payment in respect
     of all shares of New Preferred Stock so tendered and (iii) deliver, or
     cause to be delivered, to such transfer agent for cancellation the shares
     of New Preferred Stock so accepted. The Company shall promptly mail, or
     cause to be mailed, to each holder of New Preferred Stock the Qualifying
     Equity Payment for such New Preferred Stock, and new shares of New
     Preferred Stock equal in number to any unpurchased portion of New Preferred
     Stock surrendered, if any. The Company shall publicly announce the results
     of the Qualifying Equity Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
     Qualifying Equity Payment Date. The Company may act as transfer agent for
     the New Preferred Stock.

          (7) PRIORITY OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK IN EVENT OF LIQUIDATION OR
     DISSOLUTION. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or

<PAGE>
                                      -12-

     winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or otherwise,
     after payment or provision for payment of the debts, the liquidation
     preference on the Company's existing Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series
     A Preferred Stock") and any other Senior Securities and other liabilities
     of the Company, the holders of the New Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
     receive, out of the remaining net assets of the Company, the amount of one
     hundred dollars ($100.00) in cash for each share of New Preferred Stock
     (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends
     (including Additional Dividends) accrued and unpaid on each such share up
     to the date fixed for distribution, before any distribution shall be made
     to the holders of the Common Stock of the Company or any other stock
     ranking (as to any such distribution) junior to the New Preferred Stock. In
     the event of any involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Company by resolution of its
     Board of Directors shall, to the extent of any Legally Available Funds,
     declare a dividend on the New Preferred Stock payable before any
     distribution is made to any holder of any series of preferred stock (other
     than the Series A Preferred Stock and any other Senior Securities) or
     common stock or any other stock of the Company ranking junior to the New
     Preferred Stock as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up, in an amount
     equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (including Additional Dividends)
     on the New Preferred Stock as of such date and if the Company does not have
     sufficient Legally Available Funds to declare and pay all dividends
     (including Additional Dividends) accrued at the time of such liquidation,
     any remaining accrued and unpaid dividends (including Additional Dividends)
     shall be added to the price to be received by the holders of the New
     Preferred Stock for such New Preferred Stock. If, upon any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets distributable among
     the holders of any New Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities shall be
     insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of all such
     series of New Preferred Stock of all preferential amounts payable to all
     such holders, then subject to Section 2(b), the entire assets of the
     Company thus distributable shall be distributed ratably among the holders
     of all New Preferred Stock and Parity Securities in proportion to the
     respective amounts that would be payable per share if such assets were
     sufficient to permit payment in full. Except as otherwise provided in this
     subsection (6), holders of New Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any
     distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     affairs of the Company.

          For the purposes of this subsection (7), neither the voluntary sale,
     lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock,
     securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property
     or assets of the Company, nor the consolidation or merger of the Company
     with one or more other corporations, shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, unless such voluntary
     sale, lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer shall be in connection with a
     plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

          (8) VOTING RIGHTS. (a) The holders of the New Preferred Stock shall
     not, except as required by law or as otherwise set forth herein, have any
     right or power to vote on any question or in any proceeding or to be
     represented at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of the Company's
     stockholders. On any matters on which the holders of the New Preferred
     Stock shall be entitled to vote, they shall be entitled to one vote for
     each share held.

          (b) In case at any time (i) the equivalent of six or more full
     quarterly dividends on the New Preferred Stock out of any eight consecutive
     Quarterly Dividend Periods shall be in arrears if during such six or more
     quarterly periods the terms of the debt instruments of the Company and it
     subsidiaries and the terms of any Senior Securities of the Company would
     have permitted the payment of such dividends in cash or (ii) the Company
     shall have failed to make a mandatory redemption of shares of New Preferred
     Stock as set forth in subsection (3)(a), or (iii) the Company shall have
     failed to comply with the provisions in subsection (5) or (6) in any
     material respect, then during the period (the "Voting Period") commencing
     with such time and ending with the time when (i) all arrears in dividends
     on the New Preferred Stock shall have been paid or (ii) the Company shall
     have redeemed all shares of the New Preferred Stock as set forth in
     subsection (3)(a), or (iii) the Company shall have purchased any shares of
     New Preferred Stock validly tendered for purchase under the provisions of
     subsection (5) or (6), in each case as applicable, the remedy for such
     matters, without otherwise affecting the Company's obligations, shall be
     that the number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be
     increased by one and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
     New Preferred Stock represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of the
     stockholders of the Company held for the election of directors during the
     Voting Period shall be entitled, in their discretion, as a class, to the
     exclusion of the holders of all other classes or series of capital stock of
     the Company, to elect one director of the Company to fill the directorship
     so created. The remaining directors shall be elected by the other class or
     classes of stock entitled to vote therefor, at each meeting of stockholders
     held for the purpose of electing directors. Nothing herein shall require
     the holders of the New Preferred Stock to elect one director of the Company
     should such holders choose not to so elect one director.

          (c) At any time when the voting rights set forth in subsection (8)(b)
     with respect to the election of directors shall have vested in the holders
     of New Preferred Stock and if such right shall not already have been
     initially exercised, a proper officer of the Company shall, upon the
     written request of any holder of record of New Preferred Stock then
     outstanding, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, call a special
     meeting of holders of New Preferred Stock. Such meeting shall be held at
     the earliest practicable date upon the notice required for annual meetings
     of stockholders at the place for holding annual meetings of stockholders of
     the Company or, if none, at a

<PAGE>
                                      -14-

     place designated by the Secretary of the Company. If such meeting shall not
     be called by the proper officers of the Company within 30 days after the
     personal service of such written request upon the Secretary of the Company,
     or within 30 days after mailing the same within the United States, by
     registered mail, addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal
     office (such mailing to be evidenced by the registry receipt issued by the
     postal authorities), then the holders of record of 25% of the shares of New
     Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in writing a holder of New
     Preferred Stock to call such meeting at the expense of the Company, and
     such meeting may be called by such person so designated upon the notice
     required for annual meetings of stockholders and shall be held at the same
     place as is elsewhere provided in this subsection (8)(c). Any holder of New
     Preferred Stock which would be entitled to vote at such meeting shall have
     access to the stock ledger books of the Company for the purpose of causing
     a meeting of the stockholders to be called pursuant to the provisions of
     this subsection (8)(c). Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
     subsection (8)(c), however, no such special meeting shall be called during
     a period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next
     annual meeting of stockholders.

          (d) At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors at which
     the holders of New Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect directors
     as provided herein, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at
     least one-third of the then outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock shall
     be required and be sufficient to constitute a quorum of such class for the
     election of directors by such class. At any such meeting or adjournment
     thereof (i) the absence of a quorum of the holders of New Preferred Stock
     shall not prevent the election of directors other than those to be elected
     by the holders of stock of such class and the absence of a quorum or
     quorums of the holders of capital stock entitled to elect such other
     directors shall not prevent the election of directors to be elected by the
     holders of New Preferred Stock and (ii) in the absence of a quorum of the
     holders of any class of stock entitled to vote for the election of
     directors, a majority of the holders present in person or by proxy of such
     class shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of
     directors which the holders of such class are entitled to elect, from time
     to time without notice (except as required by law) other than announcement
     at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

          (e) Any director who shall have been elected by holders of New
     Preferred Stock may be removed at any time during a Voting Period, either
     for or without cause, by and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of
     record of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Preferred Stock given
     at a special meeting of such stockholders called for such purpose, and any
     vacancy thereby created may be filled during such Voting Period by the
     holders of New Preferred Stock present in person or represented by proxy at
     such meeting. Any director elected by holders of New Preferred Stock who
     dies, resigns or otherwise ceases to be a director shall be replaced by the
     affirmative

<PAGE>
                                      -15-

     vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of
     New Preferred Stock at a special meeting of stockholders called for that
     purpose. At the end of the Voting Period, the holders of New Preferred
     Stock shall be automatically divested of all voting power vested in them
     under this subsection 8(e) but subject always to the subsequent vesting
     hereunder of voting power in the holders of New Preferred Stock if any
     subsequent event would again trigger a new Voting Period under subsection
     8(b). The term of all directors elected pursuant to the provisions of this
     subsection 8(e) shall in all events expire at the end of the Voting Period
     and upon such expiration the number of directors constituting the Board of
     Directors shall, without further action, be reduced by one director,
     subject always to the increase of the number of directors pursuant to
     subsection 8(b) hereof in case of the future right of the holders of New
     Preferred Stock to elect directors as provided herein.

          (9) CONVERSION OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK. The New Preferred Stock shall
     not be convertible into other shares of capital stock of the Company.

          (10) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. For the benefit of the holders of
     the New Preferred Stock from time to time and for as long as any shares of
     New Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall comply with
     Section 4.11 of the Indenture dated as of June 20, 2002 among the Company,
     the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York, as Trustee,
     governing the Company's outstanding 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012,
     as in effect on December [ ], 2002 (the "Indenture"), whether or not such
     Indenture otherwise remains in effect.

          (11) LIMITATIONS. Except as expressly permitted by this subsection
     (11), the Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to
     (1) declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any
     distribution on, or directly or indirectly purchase, redeem or discharge
     any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar obligation in
     respect of any other stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the New
     Preferred Stock as to dividends or liquidation rights (collectively,
     "Parity Securities"), or in respect of any warrants, rights or options
     exercisable for or convertible into any such Parity Securities or (2)
     declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any
     distributions on, or, directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem or satisfy
     any such mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar obligation in
     respect of any stock of the Company ranking junior to the New Preferred
     Stock as to dividends or liquidation rights (collectively, "Junior
     Securities"), or in respect of any warrants, rights or options exercisable
     for or convertible into any Junior Securities; provided, however, that (1)
     with respect to dividends and distributions, payments may be made or
     amounts set aside for payment of dividends on Parity Securities if either
     (x) it is made in accordance with subsection (2)(b) hereof or (y) prior to
     or concurrently with such payment or setting apart for payment, all accrued
     and unpaid divi-

<PAGE>
                                      -16-

     dends on shares of the New Preferred Stock not paid on the dates provided
     for in subsection (2) hereof (including Additional Dividends) shall have
     been or shall be paid and no Voting Period shall be in effect; (2) with
     respect to any purchase, redemption or retirement of Parity Securities,
     shares of New Preferred Stock shall be redeemed so that the number of
     shares of New Preferred Stock and Parity Securities so purchased or
     redeemed shall bear to each other the same ratio that the Liquidation
     Preference and the liquidation preference of such Parity Securities shall
     bear to each other; (3) dividends and distributions may be made or set
     aside for payment in respect of any Junior Securities or redemptions,
     repurchases or retirements of any Junior Securities may be made if (A) the
     Company is not in arrears in the payment of dividends with respect to the
     New Preferred Stock, (B) no Voting Period is in effect and (C) the
     aggregate amount of such dividends and distributions made or set aside for
     payment after the original issuance of the New Preferred Stock does not
     exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received and the fair market value
     (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of
     property received after the original issuance date of the Series A
     Preferred Stock by the Company from the issuance or sale of Junior
     Securities or warrants, options or rights to purchase Junior Securities or
     from capital contributions in respect of Junior Securities, provided that
     the requirements of this clause (C) need only be met for so long as
     $10,000,000 or more in aggregate Liquidation Preference of New Preferred
     Stock is outstanding (unless the outstanding amount has been reduced to
     less than $10,000,000 by reason of an optional redemption under subsection
     (3)(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the need to comply with the
     foregoing clause (C) will terminate in the event that, on or prior to the
     Notice Trigger Date, the Company or a third party shall have offered to
     purchase (a "Terminating Tender") all then outstanding shares of New
     Preferred Stock at a price equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof,
     together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (including Additional
     Dividends), and purchases any shares of New Preferred Stock validly
     tendered in the Terminating Tender, whether or not all holders shall so
     tender their shares for purchase. A Terminating Tender shall remain open
     for a minimum of 20 business days. In addition, notwithstanding the
     foregoing, the Company will be permitted to (1) pay dividends and
     distributions in respect of capital stock in the form of Junior Securities
     and dividends and distributions in respect of Parity Securities in the form
     of Parity Securities; (2) pay dividends or make other distributions in
     respect of any capital stock if at the time of declaration of such dividend
     or distribution the Company could have made such payment in compliance with
     this subsection (11); (3) exchange or replace Junior Securities with other
     Junior Securities or other Parity Securities with Parity Securities or
     Junior Securities; (4) make payments to redeem, repurchase or acquire for
     value Junior Securities or Parity Securities or options in respect thereof,
     in each case in connection with any repurchase, cash settlement, put or
     call provisions under employee stock option, management subscription,
     retained share or stock purchase agreements or other agreements to
     compensate employees, including in respect

<PAGE>
                                      -17-

     of restricted stock awards, as contemplated by the Recapitalization
     Agreement; and (5) redeem, purchase or acquire Junior Securities upon a
     change in control or an equity issuance following or at the time of
     satisfaction or waiver of the provisions contained in subsection (5) or (6)
     and in any indebtedness of the Surviving Company.

          (a) So long as any shares of the New Preferred Stock are outstanding
     and unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares
     shall then be required by law, except as otherwise provided in the
     Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall not amend the Certificate
     of Incorporation without the approval, by vote or written consent, by the
     holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of the New
     Preferred Stock if such amendment would amend any of the rights,
     preferences, privileges of or limitations provided for herein for the
     benefit of any shares of New Preferred Stock so as to affect such holders
     adversely. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
     Company will not amend the Certificate of Incorporation without the
     approval by the holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding
     shares of New Preferred Stock if such amendment would:

               (i) change the relative seniority rights of the holders of New
          Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends in relation to the
          holders of any other capital stock of the Company, or create any other
          class or series of capital stock entitled to (a) seniority as to
          liquidation preferences or dividend, repurchase or redemption rights,
          or (b) parity as to liquidation preferences or dividend, repurchase or
          redemption rights, in each case in relation to the holders of the New
          Preferred Stock;

               (ii) reduce the amount payable to the holders of New Preferred
          Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
          winding up of the Company, or change the relative seniority of the
          liquidation preference of the holders of New Preferred Stock to the
          rights upon liquidation of the holders of other capital stock of the
          Company, or change the dividend or redemption rights of the holders of
          New Preferred Stock;

               (iii) cancel or modify the rights of the holders of the New
          Preferred Stock provided for in this subsection (11) or in subsection
          (3) through (8);

               (iv) increase or decrease (other than by redemption or purchase
          and any subsequent filing in connection therewith) the authorized
          number of shares of New Preferred Stock;

               (v) allow for the issuance of any Parity Securities, provided,
          however, that Parity Securities may be issued without such approval
          solely to finance (1) an investment by the Company or any Subsidiary
          of the Company in

          person acquired outside of the ordinary course of business (either of
          subclauses (1) and (2) an "Acquisition"); provided that, in each case,
          such issuance is to a person or persons having a direct or indirect
          beneficial interest in the person or assets so acquired by the Company
          or any Subsidiary of the Company or to refinance debt or preferred
          stock incurred or assumed in connection with an Acquisition so long as
          the initial liquidation preference of any such Parity Securities
          (exclusive of accrued or pay-in-kind dividends thereon after issuance,
          which shall be permitted) does not exceed $25.0 million in the

          provided, however, that Senior Securities may be issued without such
          approval on terms that are no more favorable, when taken as a whole,
          than those of the Series A Preferred Stock to refinance or replace the
          existing Series A Preferred Stock.

          (b) So long as any shares of the New Preferred Stock are outstanding
     and unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares
     shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of two-thirds of

     Corporation Law or by a vote at a special meeting of stockholders called
     for such purpose or at any annual meeting of stockholders, with the holders
     of New Preferred Stock voting as a class and with each share of New
     Preferred Stock having one vote) shall be required prior to the sale, lease
     or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the
     merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity if as
     a result of such transaction the New Preferred Stock would be cashed out
     for less than 100% (or, if the transaction would constitute a Change in
     Control, 101% of its Liquidation Preference plus any accrued and unpaid
     dividends (including Additional Dividends)), or as a result of which the
     New Preferred Stock would continue in existence (either as stock in the
     Company or in the surviving company in a merger or in any parent company of
     the Company or such surviving corporation) but with an adverse alteration
     in its specified designations, rights, preferences or privileges.

          (c) Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to require a
     class vote or the consent of the holders of the outstanding shares of New
     Preferred Stock (i) in connection with any increase in the total number of
     authorized shares of Common Stock, or (ii) in connection with the
     authorization or increase of any class or series of Junior Securities.

          The limitations stated above shall not apply if, at or prior to the
     time when the distribution, payment, purchase, redemption, discharge,
     conversion, exchange, amendment, alteration, repeal, issuance, sale, lease,
     conveyance, merger or consolidation is to occur, as the case may be,
     provision is made for the redemption or reacquisition of all shares of New
     Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. Nothing herein contained shall in
     any way limit the right and power, subject to the limitations set forth
     herein, of the Company to issue the presently authorized but unissued
     shares of its capital stock, or bonds, notes, mortgages, debentures, and
     other obligations, and to incur indebtedness to banks and to other lenders.

          (12) RANKING OF NEW PREFERRED STOCK. With regard to rights to receive
     dividends, mandatory redemption payments and distributions upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the New Preferred
     Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and any other
     Senior Securities, on a parity with any Parity Securities and prior to all
     Junior Securities (including, without limitation, the Company's existing
     Series B Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, and Common Stock). As
     contemplated by subsection (11), the New Preferred Stock shall be subject
     to the creation of Junior Securities and, pursuant to the voting
     requirements of subsection (11), Parity Securities and Senior Securities.

shippers, customers, contractors or invitees to be loaded, unloaded, or parked
in areas other than those designated by Lessor for such activities.

                (b)     If Lessee permits or allows any of the prohibited

exist from time to time, subject to any rights, powers, and privileges reserved

or restrictions governing the use of the Industrial Center. Under no
circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed
to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the
Common Areas. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written
consent of Lessor or Lessor's designated agent, which consent may be revoked at
any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Lessor
shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and

3.      TERM.

        3.1     TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term
of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.

        3.2     EARLY POSSESSION. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after the
Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay
Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All other
terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to
pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to carry the insurance
required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early
possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration Date of the Original
Term.

        3.3     DELAY IN POSSESSION. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by the
Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of
Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any
other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee
may, as its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days after
the end of said thirty (30) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Alternatively, should Lessor be
unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after the Commencement Date, plus periods of delay attributable to force majeure
or Lessee Delays, then so long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease,
Lessee shall be entitled to receive a credit against the first installments of
Base Rent occurring under this Lease in an amount equal to the holdover penalty
of Lessee's current rent per each day of delay beginning on the thirty-first
(31st) day following the Commencement Date, not to exceed $7,700.00 per month.
Except as may be otherwise provided, and regardless of when the Original Term
actually commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by
this Lease and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period
free of the obligation to pay Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise
have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for
a period equal to the period during which the Lessee would have otherwise
enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts,
changes or omissions of Lessee.

4.      RENT.

        4.1     BASE RENT. Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or charges,
as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful money of the
United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which it is
due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all other rent and charges for
any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full month shall be
prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month involved. Payment of
Base Rent and other charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein
or to such other persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to
time designate in writing to Lessee.

        4.2     COMMON AREA OPERATING EXPENSES. Lessee shall pay to Lessor
during the term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Lessee's Share (as
specified in Paragraph 1.6(b)) of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as
hereinafter defined, during each calendar year of the term of this Lease, in
accordance with the following provisions:

                (a)     "Common Area Operating Expenses" are defined, for
purposes of this Lease, as all costs incurred by Lessor relating to the
ownership and operation of the Industrial Center, including, but not limited to,
the following:

                        (i)     The operation, repair and maintenance, in neat,
clean, good order and condition, of the following:

                                (aa)    The Common Areas, including parking
areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways,
parkways, driveways, landscaped areas, striping, bumpers, irrigation systems,
Common Area lighting facilities, fences and gates, elevators and roof. For any
Common Area Operating expense (as defined in Para. 4.2 herein) actually incurred
in a given year, for which the useful life exceeds two years, the CAM charges
will be amortized over the projected useful life.

                                (bb)    Exterior signs and any tenant
directories.

                                (cc)    Fire detection and sprinkler systems.

                        (ii)    The cost of water, gas, electricity and
telephone to service the Common Areas.

                        (iii)   Trash disposal, property management and security
services and the costs of any environmental inspections.

                        (iv)    Reasonable Reserves set aside for maintenance
and repair of Common Areas.

                        (v)     Real Property Taxes (as defined in Paragraph
10.2) to be paid by Lessor for the Building and the Common Areas under Paragraph
10 hereof.

                        (vi)    The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under Paragraph 8 hereof.

                        (vii)   Any deductible portion of an insured loss
concerning the Building or the Common Areas.

                        (viii)  Any other services to be provided by Lessor that
are stated elsewhere in this Lease to be a Common Area Operating Expense.

                (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Area Operating
Expenses shall exclude the following: (i) any costs or expenses which are paid
by other tenants or which are incurred by Lessor and reimbursed by other tenants
or by insurance proceeds, (ii) the cost of any Hazardous Substance investigation
and/or remediation with respect to the Common Areas or any other portion of the
Industrial Center, which contamination is not caused by Lessee, and (iii) any
property management or asset management fees which, in the aggregate, exceed the
amount specified in Paragraph 58 of the Addendum. Any Common Area Operating
Expenses and Real Property Taxes that are specifically attributable to the
Building or to any other building in the Industrial Center or to the operation,
repair and maintenance thereof, shall be allocated entirely to the Building or
to such other building. However, any Common Area Operating Expenses and Real
Property Taxes that are not specifically attributable to the Building or to any
other building or to the operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall be
equitably allocated by Lessor to all buildings in the Industrial Center.

                (c)     The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and
services set forth in Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not be deemed to impose an
obligation upon Lessor to either have said improvements or facilities or to
provide those services unless the Industrial Center already has the same, Lessor
already provides the services, or Lessor has agreed elsewhere in this Lease to
provide the same or some of them.

                (d)     Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses shall
be payable by Lessee within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement
of actual expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option,
however, an amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time of Lessee's
Share of annual Common Area Operating Expenses and the same shall be payable
monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each 12-month period of
the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. Lessor shall
deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each calendar
year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Common
Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If Lessee's payments
under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year exceed Lessee's Share as
indicated on said statement, Lessee shall be credited the amount of such over-

payment against Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses next becoming
due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year
were less than Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days after delivery by
Lessor to Lessee of said statement.

5.      SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's
execution hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for
Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If
Lessee fails to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or
otherwise Defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may
use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment
of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability,
cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may
suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion
of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written
request therefore deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security
Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent
increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from
Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security
Deposit so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear
the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the Initial Security
Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall
not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from
its general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or,
at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein),
that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit
shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for
its use, or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease.

6.      USE.

        6.1     PERMITTED USE.

                (a)     Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which is
reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or
permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste or a
nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to the
Premises or neighboring premises or properties.

                (b)     Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or
subtenants, and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its assignees
and subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long as the same
will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or
in the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, does not
conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly more burdensome to the
Premises or the Building and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise
permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such
consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give a
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.

        6.2     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

                (a)     Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term "Hazardous
Substance" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical,
material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect,
either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the
Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or
welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to
any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common
law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products or by-products
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or about the Premises which
constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances
without the express prior written consent of Lessor and compliance in a timely
manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all Applicable Requirements (as
defined in Paragraph 6.3). "Reportable Use" shall mean (i) the installation or
use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires
a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or
business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and
(iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with
respect to which any Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons
entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to
Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and
customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal
course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and
does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of
contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition,
Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to any
Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor
such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems
necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment
against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but
not limited to the installation (and, at Lessor's option, removal on or before
Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective
modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit
of an additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

                (b)     Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has
reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located
in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously
consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice
thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration,
application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given
to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party concerning the
presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance
including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Use involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the
Premises (including, without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer
system).

                (c)     Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and
the Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities,
judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and
attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous
Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under Lessee's
control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall include, but not
be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or
the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation
(including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee
shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to
Hazardous Substances, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the
time of such agreement.

        6.3     LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. Lessee shall, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all
"Applicable Requirements," which term is used in this Lease to mean all laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and
restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises (including
but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii)
environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil and
groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture, production,
installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill, or release
of any Hazardous Substance), now in effect or which may hereafter come into
effect; provided that Lessee shall have no obligation to remedy any conditions
with respect to the Premises which existed prior to Lessee's possession thereof
or which were caused by Lessor during the term of the Lease, and provided
further that Lessee shall have no obligation to undertake any governmentally
mandated alterations to the Building or any portion thereof, including, without
limitation, any retrofit obligations, which are not solely the result of
Lessee's particular use of the Premises, all such alterations being Lessor's
responsibility (and Lessor agrees to timely comply, at its own expense, with all
such governmental mandates). Lessee shall, within five (5) days after receipt of
Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and
information, including but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests,
applications, reports and certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with any
Applicable Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt,
notify Lessor in Writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any
threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report
pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with any
Applicable Requirements.

        6.4     INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lessor, Lessor's agents,
employees, contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lenders") shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice for the purpose of
inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee
with this Lease and all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3),
and Lessor shall be entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection
therewith to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but
not limited to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance,
or removal of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and
expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same,
unless a Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable
Requirements for which Lessee is responsible hereunder or a contamination,
caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist or to be
imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental
authority as the resul5t of any such existing or imminent violation or
contamination. In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or
Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and expenses of such
inspections.

7.      MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES AND
        ALTERATIONS.

        7.1     LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

                (a)     Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition),
2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code), 7.2 (Lessor's
Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense and at all times, keep the Premises and every
part thereof in good order, condition and repair reasonable wear and tear
excepted (whether or not such portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the
means of repairing the same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and
whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any
prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all equipment or facilities
specifically serving the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning,
ventilating, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or unfired pressure
vessels, fire hose connections if within the Premises, fixtures, interior walls,
interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, plate
glass, and skylights, but excluding any items which are the responsibility of
Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 below. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good
order, condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance
practices. Lessee's obligations shall include restorations, replacements or
renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a
part thereof in good order, condition and state or repair.

                (b)     Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, procure
and maintain a contract, with copies to Lessor, in customary form and substance
for and with a contractor specializing and experienced in the inspection,
maintenance and service of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system
for the Premises. However, Lessor reserves the right, upon notice to Lessee, to
procure and maintain the contract for the heating, air conditioning and
ventilating systems, and if Lessor so elects, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor,
upon demand, for the cost thereof.

                (c)     If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under
this Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after ten (10) days'
prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in which
case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf,
and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, in accordance with
Paragraph 13.2 below.

        7.2     LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building
Code), 4.2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee's
Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor, subject
to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of interior
bearing walls, exterior roof, fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose (if
located in the Common Areas) or other automatic fire extinguishing system
including fire alarm and/or smoke

                                                       Initials: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]
                                                                 ---------------

detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways,
parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving the
Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the services for which
there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall
not be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surfaces of exterior walls
nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace windows, doors or
plate glass of the Premises. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of any statute
now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make
repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's
failure to keep the Building, Industrial Center or Common Areas in good order,
condition and repair.

        7.3     UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES, ALTERATIONS.

                (a)     Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility
Installations" is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications
systems, lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment,
plumbing, and fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term "Trade Fixtures"
shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed without doing
material damage to the Premises. The term "Alterations" shall mean any
modification of the improvements on the Premises which are provided by Lessor
under the terms of this Lease, other than Utility Installations or Trade
Fixtures. "Lessee-Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make nor cause to be
made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding
the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they
are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve puncturing,
relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing or
interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the cost
thereof does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) during any given year
and the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does
not exceed $25,000.00

                (b)     Consent. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents given by
Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent,
shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits
required by governmental authorities; (ii) the furnishing of copies of such
permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Alteration
or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon; and
(iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt
and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee
during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with
as-built plans and specifications therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation
to do so) condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility
Installation that costs $5,000.00 more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a
lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation.

                (c)     Lien Protection. Lessee shall pay when due all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanic's materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on, or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have
the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as
provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any
such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and
protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and shall pay and
satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the
enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require,
Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount
equal to one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien claim or
demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same, as required by law
for the holding of the Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In
addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs in
participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest
to do so.

        7.4     OWNERSHIP, REMOVAL, SURRENDER, AND RESTORATION.

                (a)     Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require their
removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided
in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the
Premises by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered
a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in
writing to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed
per Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
become the property of Lessor and remain upon the Premises and be surrendered
with the Premises by Lessee.

                (b)     Removal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may
require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be
removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding
that their installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may require
the removal at any time of all or any part of any Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.

                (c)     Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the
Premises by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination
date, clean and free of debris and in good operating order, condition and state
of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not
include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good
maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this
Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as
surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility Installations. The
obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the
installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, as well as
the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee, and the removal,
replacement, or remediation of any soil, material or ground water contaminated
by Lessee, all as may then be required by Applicable Requirements and/or good
practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall
be removed by Lessee subject to its obligation to repair and restore the
Premises per this Lease.

8.      INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.

        8.1     PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. The cost of the premiums for the insurance
policies maintained by Lessor under this Paragraph 8 shall be a Common Area
Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy periods
commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be
prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration
Date.

        8.2     LIABILITY INSURANCE.

                (a)     Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance
protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been provided to
Lessee in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing
single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with
an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" endorsement and contain
the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" endorsement for damage caused by
heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any
intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall
include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "Insured contract"
for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The
limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall
not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation
hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall
be considered excess insurance only.

                (b)     Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall also maintain liability
insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu
of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named
as an additional insured therein.

        8.3     PROPERTY INSURANCE-BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.

                (a)     Building and Improvements. Lessor shall obtain and keep
in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss
or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as
the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s),
but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable
value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements
involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal
property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage
is available and commercially appropriate, Lessor's policy or policies shall
insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of
flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for any
additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of
coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the
reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Building required
to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building,
zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered loss, but not
including plate glass insurance. Said policy or policies shall also contain an
agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, waiver of
subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the
city nearest to where the Premises are located.

                (b)     Rental Value. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with
loss payable to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental
and other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for one year
(including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area Operating
Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may provide that in
the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of
indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion
of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss
of rental revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain
an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, and the amount
of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
Real Property Taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any,
otherwise payable, for the next 12-month period. Common Area Operating Expenses
shall include any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

                (c)     Adjacent Premises. Lessee shall pay for any increase in
the premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the Common Areas
or other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused by
Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises. Lessee shall have no
obligation to pay for any increase in the premiums for property insurance if
such increase results from the particular use of another tenant within the
Building.

                (d)     Lessee's Improvements. Since Lessor is the Insuring
Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of
Lessor under the terms of this Lease.

        8.4     LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at
Lessor's option, by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance
coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in
coverage to that carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a).
Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to
exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used
by Lessee for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Trade
Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon request
from Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such
insurance is in force.

        8.5     INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in

located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating"
of at least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender, as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Neither Lessee nor
Lessor shall do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the

this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor, within seven (7)
days after the earlier of the Early Possession Date or the Commencement Date,
certified copies of, or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of,
the insurance required under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4 Lessor shall cause to be
delivered to Lessee, within seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early
Possession Date or the Commencement Date, certified copies of, or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of, the insurance required to be carried by
Lessor pursuant to this Paragraph 8. No such policy shall be cancelable or
subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice the
non-procuring party. Each party shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish the other with evidence of renewals or
"Insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof. If Lessee fails to timely
deliver evidence of such insurance renewal, Lessor may order such insurance and
charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to
Lessor upon demand.

        8.6     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against
the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to
the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.

        8.7     INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's gross negligence and/or breach of
express warranties, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners
and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages,
costs, liens, judgments, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and consultants'
fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection
with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of Lessee's business,
any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee in the performance in a
timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under this
Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or
pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether
or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor) litigated and/or reduced to
judgment. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason
of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the
same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any
such claim in order to be so indemnified.

        8.8     EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Except in the case of
Lessor's negligence or willful conduct, Lessor's breach of this Lease or
Lessor's breach of any representation or warranty made by Lessor herein, Lessor
shall not be liable for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares,
merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors,
invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas,
water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of
pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or
lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said injury or damage
results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the
Building of which the Premises are a part, from other sources or places, and
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of
repairing the same is accessible or not. Except in the case of Lessor's
negligence or willful conduct, Lessor's breach of this Lease or Lessor's breach
of any representation or warranty made by Lessor herein, Lessor shall not be
liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee of
Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other
lease in the Industrial Center. Except in the case of Lessor's negligence or
willful conduct, Lessor's breach of this Lease or Lessor's breach of any
representation or warranty made by Lessor herein, Lessor shall under no
circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of
income or profit therefrom.

9.      DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

        9.1     DEFINITIONS.

                (a)     "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty
percent (50%) of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of
the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

                (b)     "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent
(50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures)
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. In addition, damage or
destruction to the Building, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of
which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building shall, at the
option of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.

                (c)     "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the
insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts
or coverage limits involved.

                (d)     "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes,
ordinances or laws, and without deduction for depreciation.

                (e)     "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the
occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a
contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on,
or under the Premises.

        9.2     PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial
Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense,
repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of Insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, full
replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance
proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee
provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof,
within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and
request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor
paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within such
ten (10) day period, and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then
this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the
damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have
any right to reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to
repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or
earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds
of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either
Party.

        9.3     PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial Damage that
is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds
or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such
commitment from Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.

        9.4     TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the damage
or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction was caused by the
negligence or willful act of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover
Lessor's damages from Lessee except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.

        9.5     DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs
on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after Lessee's
receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii)
the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise
such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.

        9.6     ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

                (a)     In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii)
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the
Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by
Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its
repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to
the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises impaired, but not in excess of
proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except
for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if
any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed
by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered
by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.

                (b)     If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within
ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time
prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to
Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election
to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the
giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph
9.6 shall mean the actual work on the Premises.

        9.7     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case
Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by
Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
but subject

to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance
Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the
estimated cost to investigate and remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12)
times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000 whichever is greater, give written
notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of
the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease. Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such
Hazardous Substance Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements,
over (b) an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or
$100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds
required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
following said commitment by Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and
remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time period specified above, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have no right to terminate the Lease
if a Hazardous Substance Condition occurs due to the sole actions of Lessor, in
which case, Lessor shall be solely responsible, at its own expense, for the
investigation and remediation thereof.

        9.8     TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not
been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.

        9.9     WAIVER OF STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of
this Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the
Premises and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and
hereby waive the provisions of any present of future statute to the extent it is
inconsistent herewith.

10.     REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

        10.1    PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Industrial Center, and except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any such amounts shall be included in the
calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.2.

        10.2    REAL PROPERTY TAX DEFINITION. As used herein, the term "Real
Property Taxes" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the industrial Center by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state
or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage, or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Industrial Center or any portion thereof,
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of
leasing the Premises. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any tax,
fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of
events occurring, or changes in Applicable Law taking effect, during the term of
this Lease, including but not limited to a change in the ownership of the
Industrial Center or in the improvements thereon, the execution of this Lease,
or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or not
contemplated by the Parties. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar
year, the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in
the calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the
number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.

        10.3    ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

        10.4    JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Building is not separately assessed,
Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion
of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

        10.5    LESSEE'S PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center. When
possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within
ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.

11.     UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If
any such utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or
separately billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable
proportion to be determined by lessor of all such charges jointly metered or
billed with other premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time
periods set forth in Paragraph 4.2(d).

12.     ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

        12.1    LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.

                (a)     Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively,
"assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the
terms of Paragraph 36.

                (b)     A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a
change in control for this purpose.

                (c)     The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any
transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition,
financing, refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or
not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets
occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee,
as hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to or greater than fifty percent
(50%) of such Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of
full execution and delivery of this Lease or at the time of the most recent
assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to
said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, at whichever time
said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of
this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent [See
Attachment] "Net Worth of Lessee" for purposes of this Lease shall be the net
worth of Lessee (excluding any Guarantors) established under generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

                (d)     An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in this
Lease without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option,
be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a non-curable Breach
without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat
such unconsented to assignments or subletting as a non-curable Breach, Lessor
shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty
(30) days' written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly Base Rent
for the Premises to the greater of the then fair market rental value of the
Premises, as reasonably determined by Lessor, or one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the Base Rent then in effect. Pending determination of the new fair market
rental value, if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in
Lessor's Notice, with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s)
of Base Rent coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to
the effective date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the
determination thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental
adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held
by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value
as reasonably determined by Lessor (without the Lease being considered an
encumbrance or any deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and considering
the Premises at its highest and best use and in good condition) or one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the price previously in effect, (ii) any index-oriented
rental or price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to
require that the base index be determined with reference to the same ratio as
the new rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment specified in Lessor's Notice.

                (e)     Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in
this Lease, Lessee shall have the right, without Lessor's prior consent, to
assign the Premises, or any portion thereof, to an "affiliate" of Lessee. For
purposes of this Lease, the term "affiliate" shall mean and refer to any duly
formed entity which is either majority owned or controlled by Lessee, under
common ownership with Lessee under the same control of Lessee. Upon any
assignment to an affiliate, this Lease shall otherwise remain unmodified, and
Lessee shall have no obligation to pay any consideration to Lessor in connection
therewith.

                (f)     Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by
Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.

        12.2    TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

                (a)     Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) after the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.

                (b)     Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of
an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of any rent for performance shall constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by
Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

                (c)     The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by
Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the
assignee or sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and
assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without
notifying Lessee or anyone else liable under this Lease or the sublease and
without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons
from liability under this Lease or the sublease.

                (d)     In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's
obligation under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any
Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, including any sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.

                (e)     Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting
shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any,
together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 as reasonable consideration for
Lessor's considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to
provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as
may be reasonably requested by Lessor.

                (f)     Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall,
by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be
deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and
comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be
observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease,
other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions
of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in

                (g)     The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph
12.2(c) shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the
Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to two (2) times the then
monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the
Security Deposit increase a condition to Lessor's consent to such transaction.

                (h)     [NOT USED]

        12.3    ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

                (a)     Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or
a portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may
collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under
this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph
13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease,
Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and
enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the
foregoing provision or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by
reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the
sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's
obligations to such sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from
Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become
due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request
from Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against such sublessee, or, until the Breach has
been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said
sublessee to Lessor.

                (b)     In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of
its obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such
sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or
security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any other prior
defaults or breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.

                (c)     Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the
sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.

                (d)     No sublessee under a sublease approved by Lessor shall
further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor's prior
written consent.

                (e)     Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or
Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default
of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.

13.     DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.

        13.1    DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified
herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of
the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

                (a)     The vacating of the Premises without the intention to
reoccupy same, or the abandonment of the Premises.

                (b)     Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,
the failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Common
Area Operating Expenses, or any other monetary payment required to be made by
Lessee hereunder within ten (10) days of when due, the failure by Lessee to
provide Lessor with reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required
under this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this
Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure
continues for a period of three (3) days following written notice thereof by or
on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

                (c)     Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,
the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in
duly executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of
this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the
execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii)
any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of
Lessee under the terms of this lease, where any such failure continues for a
period of ten (10) days following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

                (d)     A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph
40 hereof that are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other
than those described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such
Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee
if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

                (e)     The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section
101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

                (f)     The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of
Lessee or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was
materially false.

                (g)     If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with
the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory breach basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event,
to provide Lessor with written alternative assurances of security, which, when
coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the
combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the
time of execution of this Lease.

        13.2    REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice
to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at its option
(but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's
behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:

                (a)     Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall
terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to
Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the
worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the
time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of 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 the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (iii) 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 the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee'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 the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award
of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District
in which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of
this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this
Paragraph 13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may
reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such
rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or
to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee under any statute
authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute
the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period under the
unlawful detainer statue shall run concurrently after the one such statutory
notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the
two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a
Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease
and/or by said statute.

                (b)     Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in
effect (in California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's
Breach and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor and Lessee
agree that the limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are
reasonable. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises,
or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this
Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

                (c)     Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located.

                                                       Initials: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]

<PAGE>

                (d)     The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring
or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the
Premises.

        13.3    INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by Lessor
for free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions" shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
inducement. Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease except if
Lessee subsequently cures Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or
the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this Paragraph 13.3
shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this Paragraph 13.3
unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
acceptance.

        13.4    LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon
Lessor by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee
shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after
such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such
overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment
by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute
a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.

        13.5    BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this
Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a
reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor, and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to
Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such
notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in
breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

14.     CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.

15.     BROKERS' FEES.

        15.1    [NOT USED]

        15.2    [NOT USED]

        15.3    [NOT USED]

        15.4    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee and Lessor each represent
and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm,
broker or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other
than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in
connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed
broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of
the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

16.     TENANCY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

        16.1    TENANCY STATEMENT. Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall
within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting
Party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in
writing in a form similar to the then most current "Tenancy Statement" form
published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such
additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably
requested by the Requesting Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall
have no obligation to modify the Lease in connection with the delivery of any
Tenancy Statement.

        16.2    FINANCIAL STATEMENT. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or
sell the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all
Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to
Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.     LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the
event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this
Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit)
any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to
the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by
the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.

18.     SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

19.     INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10) days
following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at
the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which
the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late charge provided
for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.     TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.

21.     RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease are deemed to be rent.

22.     NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains all
agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and
no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.

23.     NOTICES.

        23.1    NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by
this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by
messenger or courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered
mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile
transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently
given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted
adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for
delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to
the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Lessee. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice to Lessee.

        23.2    DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on
the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent
by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.

delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same
to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is transmitted by
facsimile transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or
delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation of receipt of the
transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If
notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be
deemed received on the next business day.

24.     WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent
or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce
the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. Regardless of
Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the
acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by
Lessee of any provision hereof. Any payment given Lessor by Lessee may be
accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding
any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.

25.     RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

26.     NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately
preceding such expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall
be construed as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.

27.     CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

28.     COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

29.     BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.

30.     Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

        30.1    Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lieh of its Security Device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

        30.2    Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of
Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security
Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i)
be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events
occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or
defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.

        30.3    Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into
by Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of this
Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement")
from the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options
to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in
Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.

        30.4    Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a
sale, financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.

31.     ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall
be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursued to decision or judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include,
without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief
sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the
abandonment by the other Party of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fee award
shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be
such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall
be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether
or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default
or resulting Breach.

32.     LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or
to the Building, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time
place on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and
Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred eight (180) days of the term
hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such
activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.

33.     AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

34.     SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises
or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise
Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The Installation of any sign on
the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7
(Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof, which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs. SEE ADDENDUM, PARA. 50

35.     TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.

36.     CONSENTS.

                (a)     Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as
otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is
required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses
(including but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other
consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request
by Lessee for any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises,
including but not limited to consents to an assignment a subletting or the
presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon
receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the
deposit described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to
considering any such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor
an amount of money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5)
reasonably calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in
considering and responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said
deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any
act, assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not
constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease
exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default
or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor
at the time of such consent.

                (b)     All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this
Lease are acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify
herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the
impositions by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions
as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent
is being given.

37.     [NOT USED]

38.     QUIET POSSESSION. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises
and the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have
quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of
the provisions of this Lease.

39.     OPTIONS.

        39.1    DEFINITION. As used in this Lease, the word "Option" has
the following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to
renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other
property of Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the
right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to
lease other property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other
property of Lessor; (c) the right to purchase the Premises, or the right of
first refusal to purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer to purchase
the Premises, or the right to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of
first refusal to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first offer
to purchase other property of Lessor.

        39.2    OPTIONS PERSONAL TO ORIGINAL LESSEE. Each Option granted to
Lessee in this Lease is personal to the original Lessee named in Paragraph
1.1 hereof, and cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or exercised by
any person or entity other than said original Lessee while the original Lessee
is in full and actual possession of the Premises. The Options, if any, herein
granted to Lessee are not assignable, either as a part of an assignment of this
Lease or separately or apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated from this
Lease in any manner, by reservation or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Option shall be exercisable by an affiliate of Lessee should the Lease have
previously been assigned to such affiliate.

        39.3    MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that lessee has any multiple
Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior Options to extend or renew this Lease have been validly exercised.

        39.4    EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

                (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i) during
the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under Paragraph
13.1 and continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii) during the
period of time any monetary obligation due Lessor from Lessee is unpaid (without
regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii) during the time
Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the exercise of the
Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

                (b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a)

                (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's
due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of
Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due
(without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii)
Lessor gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under
Paragraph 13.1 during any twelve (12) month period, whether or not the Defaults
are cured, or (iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.

40.     RULES AND REGULATIONS. Lessee agrees that it will abide by, and keep
and observe all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") which
Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and
cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the
preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants or
tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their invitees.

41.     SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental
payable to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other
security measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to
provide same. Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the
Premises, Lessee, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of
third parties.

42.     RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves the right, from time to time, to grant,
without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of way, utility
raceways, and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights
of way, utility raceways, dedications, maps and restrictions do not reasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any
documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights,
dedication, map or restrictions.

43.     PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as
to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery or such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

44.     AUTHORITY. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, or
general or limited partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf
of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf. If Lessee is a corporation, trust
or partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after request by Lessor,
deliver to Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such authority.

45.     CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease
and the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the
typewritten or handwritten provisions.

46.     OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee or Lessor's
agent or Lessee's agent and submission of same to Lessee or Lessor shall not be
deemed an offer to lease. This Lease is not intended to be binding until
executed and delivered by all Parties hereto.

47.     AMENDMENTS. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by
the parties in interest at the time of the modification. The Parties shall amend
this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made to the
Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the property
of which the Premises are a part.

48.     MULTIPLE PARTIES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if
more than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee, the
obligations of such multiple parties shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or Lessee.

   ADDENDUM TO STANDARD INDUSTRIAL/ COMMERCIAL MULTI-TENANT LEASE-MODIFIED NET

        This Addendum ("Addendum") is attached to and made part of that certain
Standard Industrial/Commercial Multi-Tenant Lease-Modified Net ("Lease") by and
between North American Resort Properties, Inc., a California corporation
("Lessor") and CR Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Lessee"). Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Addendum shall have the
same definitions as set forth in the Lease. The provisions of this Addendum
shall supersede any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of the Lease.

        49.     INCREASES IN BASE RENT. The following hereby supplements
Paragraph 1.5 of the Lease: During the Original Term, Lessee shall pay Lessor
Base Rent at the following rates:

                  Month                      Monthly Base Rent
                  -----                      -----------------
                   1-12                         $ 17,352.72
                   13-24                        $ 23,781.47
                   25-36                        $ 24,732.73
                   37-48                        $ 25,722.04
                   49-60                        $ 26,750.92

        As set forth above, the Base Rent shall increase by four percent (4%)
annually during the Original Term of the Lease, commencing upon the date which
is one (1) year following the Lease Commencement Date. Commencing on Month 13,
Base Rent shall include the Additional Space, as defined below. If, for any
reason, the Additional Space is not delivered by Lessor as and when specified
below, the monthly Base Rent as reflected above shall be reduced accordingly
such that the Base Rent is calculated only upon the square footage of the
Premises originally delivered to Lessee pursuant to the Lease.

        50.     SIGNAGE. The following hereby supplements Paragraph 34 of the
Lease: All signs and graphics of every kind visible in or from public view or
the exterior of the Premises shall be subject to Lessor's prior reasonable
written approval and shall be subject to any applicable governmental laws,
ordinances, and regulations, project restrictions, and in compliance with
Lessor's signage program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not object
to the size or location of any signage so long as such signage is in compliance
with applicable sign ordinances. At Lessee's sole cost and expense, Lessee shall
install such signs and graphics and shall remove all such signs and graphics
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

        51.     PARKING. Lessee shall be entitled to fifty-eight (58) unreserved
vehicle parking spaces as designated on the Parking Plan attached to the Lease
as Exhibit "B". Lessee shall not use more parking spaces than such number. All
parking spaces shall be used only for parking by vehicles no larger than full
size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks. Parking within the areas
designated on the Parking Plan shall be limited to striped parking stalls, and
no parking shall be permitted in any driveways, accessways or in any area which
would prohibit or impede the free flow of traffic. There shall be no overnight
parking of any vehicles of any kind, and vehicles which have been abandoned or
parking in violation of the terms hereof may be towed away at the vehicle
owner's expense. At such time as the Additional Space shall become part of the
Premises, Lessee shall be entitled to the balance of the unreserved vehicle
parking spaces at the Building, not to exceed a total of eighty-three (83).

        52.     OPTION TO EXTEND.

                (a)     Grant of Option. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the
option to extend the Original Term of the Lease (the "Extension Option") for an
additional consecutive term of five (5) years (the "Extension"), on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except the Base Rent shall be
the amount determined as set forth below. The Extension Option shall be
exercised only be written notice delivered to Lessor no earlier than twelve (12)
months before the expiration of the Original Term of the Lease, but no later
than six (6) months before the expiration of the Original Term of the Lease. If
Lessee fails to deliver to Lessor written notice of the exercise of the
Extension Option within the time period prescribed above, the Extension Option
shall lapse and there shall be no further right to extend the Original Term of
the Lease. The Extension Option shall be exercisable by Lessee on the express
conditions that (i) at the time of the exercise of the Extension Option, and
thereafter at all times prior to the commencement of the Extension, a Breach
shall not have occurred under the Lease, and (ii) Lessee has not been ten (10)
or more days late in the payment of Base Rent and Lessee's Share of Common Area
Operating Expenses more than a total of five (5) times during the Original Term
of the Lease. If Lessee properly exercises the Extension Option, "Original
Term", as used herein and in the Lease, shall be deemed to include the
Extension, unless specified otherwise herein or in the Lease.

                                                       Initials: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]
                                                                 ---------------

<PAGE>

                (b)     Personal Option. The Extension Option is personal to
Lessee. If Lessee subleases or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest under
the Lease prior to the exercise of the Extension Option, the Extension Option
shall lapse. If Lessee subleases or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest
of Lessee under the Lease, after the exercise of the Extension Option but prior
to the commencement of the Extension, the Extension Option shall lapse and the
Original Term of the Lease shall expire as if the Extension Option were not
exercised; provided, however, that if Lessee assigns to an affiliate any
interest under the Lease prior to the exercise of the Extension Option or after
the exercise of the Extension Option but prior to the commencement of the
Extension, said affiliate shall be permitted to exercise the Extension Option or
commence the Extension so long as Lessee or said affiliate has possession of at
least a portion of the Premises.

                (c)     Calculation of Base Rent. The Base Rent during the
Extension shall be increased, as of the commencement of the Extension (the
"Rental Adjustment Date") to the "Fair Market Value" of the Premises, determined
in the following manner: Not later than one hundred (100) days prior to the
Rental Adjustment Date, Lessor and Lessee shall meet in an effort to negotiate,
in good faith, the Fair Market Value of the Premises as of the Rental Adjustment
Date. If Lessor and Lessee have not agreed upon the Fair Market Value of the
Premises at least ninety (90) days prior to the Rental Adjustment Date, the Fair
Market Value shall be determined by the following appraisal method:

                        (i)     If Lessor and Lessee are not able to agree upon
the Fair Market Value of the Premises within the time period described above,
then Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a single
appraiser not later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the Rental Adjustment
Date. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within
such time period, then Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint one appraiser not
later than sixty-five (65) days prior to the Rental Adjustment Date, and Lessor
and Lessee shall each give written notice to the other of such appointment at
the time of such appointment. Within ten (10) days thereafter, the two appointed
appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser. If either Lessor or Lessee fails to
appoint its appraiser and to give written notice thereof to the other party
within the prescribed time period, the single appraiser appointed shall
determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises. If both parties fail to appoint
appraisers within the prescribed time periods, then the first appraiser
thereafter selected by a party (such selection to be by written notice thereof
to such appraiser and the other party) shall determine the Fair Market Value of
the Premises. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and the
parties shall share equally the cost of the single or third appraiser if
applicable. All appraisers shall have at least five (5) years' experience in the
appraisal of commercial/industrial real property in the area in which the
Premises are located and shall be members of professional organizations such as
MAI or its equivalent.

                        (ii)    For the purposes of such appraisal, the term
"Fair Market Value" shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would
pay, as of the Rental Adjustment Date, as monthly rent for the Premises if such
property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of
time and taking into account all of the purposes for which such property may be
used. If a single appraiser is chosen, then such appraiser shall determine the
Fair Market Value of the Premises. Otherwise, the Fair Market Value of the
Premises shall be the arithmetic average of the two (2) of the three (3)
appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be
disregarded. Lessor and Lessee shall instruct the appraiser(s) to complete their
determination of the Fair Market Value not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Rental Adjustment Date. If the Fair Market Value is not determined prior to
the Rental Adjustment Date, then Lessee shall continue to pay to Lessor the Base
Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to the Rental Adjustment Date
until the Fair Market Value is determined. When the Fair Market Value of the
Premises is determined, Lessor shall deliver notice thereof to Lessee, and
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice,
the difference between the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee to Lessor for the
period after the Rental Adjustment Date and the new Base Rent determined
hereunder effective as of the Rental Adjustment Date. In no event shall the Base
Rent be reduced below the Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior
to the Rental Adjustment Date.

                (d)     Increases in Base Rent During Extension. During the
Extension, Base Rent shall increase by four percent (4%) per year upon each
anniversary of the Rental Adjustment Date.

        53.     TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

                (a)     Lessor shall provide Lessee with a "Tenant Improvement
Allowance" in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) to be applied
to the planning and completion of leasehold improvements requested by Lessee
(the "Tenant Improvements"), for the fitting out of the Premises. In the event
that the cost of the Tenant Improvements contracted for the Premises by Lessee
totals less than $20,000.00, Lessor is not obligated to pay the balance to
Lessee. All Tenant Improvements that qualify for reimbursement under this
paragraph are to be completed within the first one hundred and twenty (120) days
of occupancy. Lessee shall pay the excess cost of any Tenant Improvements over
the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

                                                       Initials: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]

<PAGE>

                (b)     In addition to any other improvements to be constructed
within the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 53, Lessor shall provide Lessee
with a "Recarpeting, Painting and Tiling Allowance" sufficient to make the
following improvements to the Premises:

                        (i)     Recarpeting the Premises with building standard
carpet and base,

                        (ii)    Painting of the interior office areas, and

                        (iii)   Replacing damaged or worn vinyl flooring
(collectively, the "Recarpeting, Painting and Tiling Improvements").

                All Recarpeting, Painting and Tiling Improvements that qualify
for reimbursement under this paragraph are to be completed within the first one
hundred and twenty (120) days of occupancy.

                (c)     On or before the seventh (7th) calendar day of every
month, Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of actual invoices for work
performed and materials furnished to the Premises in connection with the
construction of the Tenant Improvements and the Recarpeting, Painting and the
Tiling Improvements ("Payment Requests"). Each Payment Request shall be
accompanied by a certification signed by Lessee's contractor that the work
reflected in such Payment Request was performed in accordance with the plans and
specifications for the Tenant Improvements and the Recarpeting, Painting and
Tiling Improvements as approved by Lessor. In addition, each Payment Request
shall be accompanied by conditional lien release waivers from all contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen to be paid through such Payment Request, in form
and content reasonably acceptable to Lessor. If Lessee submits a Payment Request
together with the required documentation on or before the seventh (7th) of the
month, Lessor shall cause to be disbursed to Lessee's contractor an amount equal
such approved Payment Request on or before the last calendar day of said month.
If a Payment Request is submitted after the seventh (7th) of the month, such
payment will be made within thirty (30) days of Lessor's receipt and approval of
such Payment Request, Lessor's approval to be made within five (5) working days
of receipt.

                (d)     Lessee will not make any alterations to the interior of
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent which will not be
unreasonably withheld. If Lessor gives its consent, such alterations will not
proceed without Lessor's prior reasonable written approval of (i) Lessee's
contractor, (ii) certificates of insurance by Lessee's contractor for public
liability and automobile liability and property damage insurance with limits not
less than $1,000,000/$250,000/$500,000 respectively, endorsed to show Lessor as
an additional insured and for worker's compensation as required, and (iii)
detailed plans and specifications for such work. Lessee will guarantee that any
mechanic's lien placed against the Premises in connection with Lessee's work
will be removed by Lessee within thirty (30) days of the recordation thereof or,
alternatively, Lessee shall, within said thirty (30) days, deliver to Lessor a
bond in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor protecting Lessor against said
lien (provided Lessee shall have no obligation to remove such mechanic's lien if
such lien arises as a result of Lessor's failure to reimburse Lessee for sums
owing to Lessee hereunder in connection with the Tenant Improvements or the
Recarpeting, Painting and Tiling Improvements). In addition, before alterations
may begin, valid building permits or other permits or licenses required must be
furnished to Lessor, and, once the alterations begin, Lessee will diligently and
continuously pursue their completion. At Lessor's option, any alterations may
become part of the Premises and belong to Lessor. Upon termination of this
Lease, it shall be Lessor's option to have the Premises returned to its original
condition, including but not limited to, removal of any alterations made by
Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, provided that Lessee shall have no obligation
to remove or relocate any interior walls which have been constructed, removed or
relocated in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Lessor
may also require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a
payment and performance bond in form acceptable to Lessor, in a principal amount
not less than one and one-half times the estimated cost of such alterations, to
insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and
to insure completion of work.

                (e)     Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 53, Lessee may,
without consent of Lessor, install non-structural Utility Installations, trade
fixtures, equipment, and machinery in conformance with the ordinances of the
applicable city and county, and they may be removed upon termination of this
Lease provided the Premises are not damaged by their removal.

                (f)     Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary
herein or in the Lease, Lessor acknowledges that the Tenant Improvements may
consist of, among other things, the expansion of office space within the
Premises, the demolition of interior non-load bearing walls and the relocation
of certain of such walls within the Premises, and the addition of various
electrical drops within the Premises which are

                                        3

necessary for Lessor's uses. Lessor hereby approves of such alterations to the
Premises, subject to Lessee's delivery of plans and specifications as required
by the Lease and Lessee's compliance with other applicable provisions of the
Lease related to the construction thereof.

                (g)     Lessee will keep the Premises and the Building free from
any liens arising out of work performed for, materials furnished to or
obligations incurred by Lessee.

        54.     LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE.

                (a)     Additional Space. Commencing on August 1,2000
("Additional Space Commencement Date"), the Premises leased to Lessee shall be
expanded to include approximately 6,266 rentable square feet at 125 Columbia,
Suite A, Aliso Viejo, California (the "Additional Space"). The Additional Space
shall be incorporated into the Premises and shall be leased to Lessee on the
same terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease. If for any reason
Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Additional Space to Lessee on or before
the Additional Space Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, and such failure shall not affect the validity of the Lease
as to the Additional Space, but in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to
pay Base Rent as to the Additional Space until possession shall have been
delivered to Lessee. If possession of the Additional Space is not delivered to
Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Additional Space Commencement Date,
Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days
after the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel the Lease, in which event
the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect.

                (b)     Adjustments for Additional Space.

                        (i)     Base Rent due under the Lease shall be increased
to reflect the Additional Space at the per square foot rate in effect under the
Lease, as provided in Paragraph 49 of this Addendum. Lessee acknowledges that
Lessor has waived Base Rent with respect to the Additional Space during month 12
of the Original Term. At commencement or date of occupancy, Lessee will pay the
balance of Security Deposit in the amount of $6,450.69.

                        (ii)    Lessee's Share as set forth in Paragraph 1.6(b)
of the Lease, shall be increased to one hundred percent (100%) to reflect the
square footage of the Additional Space.

                (c)     Additional Space Improvements. Lessor shall provide
Lessee with an allowance in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00)
towards the cost of the design, purchase and construction of Tenant Improvements
in the Additional Space ("Additional Space Improvements"). The Additional Space
Improvements shall be planned and constructed and the cost thereof reimbursed by
Lessor in accordance with Paragraph 53 of this Addendum. Lessor acknowledges
that the Additional Space Improvements may consist of, among other things, the
expansion of office space within the Premises, the demolition of interior
non-load bearing walls and the relocation of certain of such walls within the
Premises, and the addition of various electrical drops within the Premises which
are necessary for Lessor's uses. Lessor hereby approves of such alteration to
the Additional Space, subject to Lessee's delivery of plans and specifications
as required by the Lease and Lessee's compliance with other applicable
provisions of the Lease related to the construction thereof. Lessee agrees to
pay any costs that exceed the Additional Space Allowance in connection with the
Additional Space Improvements.

        55.     EARLY POSSESSION. Lessee and its authorized agents, contractors,
subcontractors and employees shall be granted a license by Lessor to enter upon
the Premises, at Lessee's sole risk and expense, during ordinary business hours
beginning upon the Early Possession Date, for the sole purpose of installing
Lessee's trade fixtures and equipment in the Premises and constructing the
Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of this Lease,
other than with respect to the payment of Base Rent, shall apply during such
early entry, (ii) prior to any such entry, Lessee shall pay for and provide
evidence of the insurance to be provided by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 8 of the Lease, and (iii) Lessee shall not use the Premises for the
storage of inventory or otherwise commence the operation of business during the
period of such early entry. Upon Lessee's breach of any of the foregoing
conditions, Lessor may, in addition to exercising any of its other rights and
remedies set forth herein, revoke such license upon notice to Lessee. Early
entry by Lessee in accordance with this Paragraph 55 shall not constitute
occupancy of the Premises for purposes of establishing the Commencement Date.

        56.     LIMITATION ON LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The obligations of Lessor do
not constitute the personal obligations of the individual partners, trustees,
members, directors, officers or shareholders of Lessor or its constituent
partners, if any. If Lessor shall fail to perform any covenant, term, or
condition of the Lease upon Lessor's part to be performed, Lessee shall be
required to deliver to Lessor written notice of the same. If, as a consequence
of such default, Lessee shall recover a money judgment against Lessor, such
judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon
execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and
interest of Lessor in the Premise and out of Base

Rent or other income from such disposition of all or any part of Lessor's right,
title or interest in the Premises, and no action for any deficiency may be
sought or obtained by Lessee.

        57.     JURY WAIVER. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee
hereby waives the right to trial by jury in any cause of action, claim,
counterclaim, cross-complaint, action proceeding and/or hearing on any matter
whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the Lease, the
relationship of Lessor and Lessee, Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises,
any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any law,
statute, or regulation, emergency or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect.

        58.     PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEE. Lessee shall pay Lessor a property
management fee ("Management Fee") equal to three percent (3%) of the Base Rent
payable under the Lease as it is increased from time to time. Such Management
Fee shall be payable monthly together with each payment of Base Rent. Lessee
shall not be responsible for the payment of any other property management, asset
management or similar fee with respect to the Premises.

        59.     CONTINGENCY. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Lessor's
obligations under the Lease are contingent upon Lessor entering into a lease
termination agreement (the "Abracon Termination Agreement") with Abracon
Corporation, a California corporation ("Abracon") in form and substance
acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, wherein, among other things,
Abracon agrees to terminate its existing lease for certain premises within the
Building, and (ii) concurrently therewith, Lessor entering into a lease
amendment (the "Abracon Amendment") with Abracon, in form and substance
acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, wherein among other things, Abracon
agrees to reduce the rentable square footage for certain premises within the
Building. In the event that Lessor does not enter into the Abracon Termination
Agreement or the Abracon Amendment on or before June 21, 1999, this Lease shall
be of no further force and effect and the parties shall have no further
obligations or duties with respect to each other.
