                                 MOSSIMO, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------
The accompanying financial statements of Mossimo, Inc. ("Mossimo" or the
"Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (33-80597) declared
effective by the SEC on February 21, 1996.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement
of the balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the statements
of income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1996, and the statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1996. Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

On February 15, 1996, the company effected a 13,000-for-one stock split of its
common stock. All share and per share amounts included in the accompanying
financial statements and footnotes have been restated to reflect the stock
split.

2.       Initial Public Offering
         -----------------------
In February 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,000,000
shares of its common stock for $18 per share, netting proceeds to the Company
after underwriting discounts and expenses of approximately $32.4 million.
Proceeds to the Company were used to repay indebtedness consisting of $5.6
million in outstanding advances under the Company's factoring agreement and pay
$17.2 million in connection with the final S corporation distribution. (See Note
5.) The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes,
including the construction of in-store shops and tenant improvements and
equipment for a new headquarters and distribution facility expected to be
occupied by the Company in the first half of 1997.

3.       Pro Forma Data
         --------------
PRO FORMA NET INCOME - Pro forma net income represents the results of operations
adjusted to reflect a provision for income taxes on historical income before
provision for income taxes, which gives effect to the change in the Company's
income tax status to a C corporation as a result of the public sale of its
common stock.



                                   -7-

<PAGE>



The principal difference between the pro forma income tax rate and the federal
statutory rate of 35% relates to state income taxes.

PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE - Historical net income per common share is not
presented because it is not indicative of the ongoing entity.

Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro forma net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period.

4.       Income Taxes
         ------------
Prior to February 27, 1996, the Company had elected to be taxed as an S
corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar
statutes in the State of California. Accordingly, the Company's taxable income
was treated as if it were distributed to the sole stockholder, who was
responsible for payment of taxes thereon. In addition, the Company was subject
to a California franchise tax rate of 1.5%. Effective February 27, 1996, the
Company converted to a C corporation and became subject to Federal and State
income taxes on an ongoing basis. As a result, the Company recorded $700,000 of
deferred income tax assets on February 27, 1996.

5.       Stockholders' Equity
         --------------------
In conjunction with its initial public offering, the Company terminated its S
corporation status and distributed to its stockholder $17.2 million representing
previously earned and undistributed taxable S corporation earnings as of
February 27, 1996 in the form of promissory notes (S distribution notes). The
estimated remaining amount payable to stockholder for previously earned and
undistributed taxable S corporation earnings under the S distribution notes was
$150,000 at June 30, 1996.

In accordance with a regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Company reclassified $1,624,000 to additional paid in capital for that portion
of the previously earned and undistributed taxable S corporation earnings at
February 27, 1996 which was in excess of the balance of retained earnings at
such date.

6.       Credit Agreement
         ----------------
In February 1996, the Company entered into a $10 million unsecured line of
credit with a bank. The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants
that require the maintenance of various financial levels and ratios and
prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------
            Net sales increased 40.7% to $25.6 million in 1996 from $18.2
million in 1995, an increase of $7.4 million. The Company's increase in net
sales was principally driven by increased sales to new and existing wholesale
customers as they expanded their purchases to include a more complete line of
Mossimo products. Men's activewear represented approximately 50.3% of the
Company's net sales in 1996. Activewear net sales increased approximately 4.3%
over men's activewear net sales in 1995. Men's sportswear represented
approximately 35.1% of the Company's net sales in 1996. Net sales in 1996
increased approximately 103.5% over such sales in 1995, primarily as a result of
increased sales of knit shirts, woven shirts and denim. Net sales of the
Company's eyewear increased approximately 51.4% to $1.0 million in 1996 from
$669,000 in the comparable period in 1995. Net sales of the Company's women's
sportswear lines, sold in a test delivery to stores during this period,
increased from $152,000 in 1995 to $2.6 million in 1996 primarily as a result of
increased sales of denim and related products.

            Gross profit increased to $11.1 million in 1996 from $8.0 million in
1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 43.3% in 1996, from
43.8% in 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from a change in the mix of sales
with sportswear representing a higher percentage of sales in 1996 than in 1995.

            Royalty income increased 4.8% to $911,000 in 1996 from $871,000 in
1995, primarily due to increased sales by the Company's women's swimwear and
bodywear licensee. The Company did not offset expenses against royalty income
prior to 1996. The Company offset $46,000 of expenses against royalty income in
the second quarter of 1996.

            Operating expenses increased to $5.5 million in 1996 from $3.5
million in 1995. Operating expenses increased in all categories. Selling expense
increased to $2.1 million in 1996 from $1.3 million in 1995 primarily as a
result of commissions on higher levels of sales, the addition of women's sales
representatives who were salaried rather than paid on commission and the opening
of two new showrooms. Increases in general and administrative ($1.9 million in
1996 compared to $1.5 million in 1995), marketing ($1.0 million in 1996 compared
to $558,000 in 1995) and design ($432,000 in 1996 compared to $208,000 in 1995)
reflect in part increases in staffing levels necessary to manage higher levels
of net sales and the expansion of the Company's product offerings, including
men's and women's sportswear, and the Company's new advertising campaign. The
costs of such campaign for 1996 were concentrated in the first two quarters of
that year. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 19.3%
in 1995 to 21.4% in 1996.

            Interest income increased to $109,000 in 1996 compared to an expense
of $53,000 in 1995. The increase was attributable to interest earned on
investment of cash generated from the Company's initial public offering in
short-term municipal securities.

            Due to the Company's conversion to a C corporation in 1996, the
provision for income taxes increased from $81,000 in the 1995 period to $2.7
million in the 1996 period.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------
            Net sales increased 42.9% to $50.0 million in 1996 from $35.0
million in 1995. The Company's increase in net sales was principally driven by
increased sales to new and existing wholesale customers as they expanded their
purchases to include a more complete line of Mossimo products. Men's activewear
represented approximately 51.9% of the Company's net sales in 1996. Activewear
net sales increased approximately 10.3% over men's activewear net sales in 1995.
Men's sportswear represented approximately 38.7% of the Company's net sales in
1996. Net sales in 1996 increased approximately 106.7% over such sales in 1995,
primarily as a result of increased sales of knit shirts, woven shirts and denim.
Net sales of the Company's eyewear increased approximately 40.4% to $1.6 million
in 1996 from $1.1 million in the comparable period in 1995. Net sales of the
Company's women's sportswear line, sold in a test delivery to stores during the
second quarter of 1996, increased from $428,000 in 1995 to $2.7 million in 1996
primarily as a result of increased sales of denim and related products.

            Gross profit increased to $21.6 million in 1996 from $15.8 million
in 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 43.3% in 1996,
from 45.2% in 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from a change in the mix of
sales with men's and women's sportswear representing a higher percentage of
sales in 1996 than in 1995.

            Royalty income increased 13.7% to $2.2 million in 1996 from $1.9
million in 1995, primarily due to increased sales by the Company's women's
swimwear and bodywear licensee and, to a lesser extent, increased sales by the
Company's Canadian licensee.

            Operating expenses increased to $10.5 million in 1996 from $7.0
million in 1995. Operating expenses increased in all categories. Selling expense
increased to $4.3 million in 1996 from $2.6 million in 1995 primarily as a
result of commissions on higher levels of sales and the addition of women's
sales representatives who are salaried rather than paid on commission. Increases
in general and administrative ($3.6 million in 1996 compared to $2.8 million in
1995), marketing ($1.7 million in 1996 compared to $1.1 million in 1995) and
design ($885,000 in 1996 compared to $410,000 in 1995) reflect in part increases
in staffing levels necessary to manage higher levels of net sales and the
expansion of the Company's product offerings, including men's and women's
sportswear, and the Company's new advertising campaign. The costs of such
campaign for 1996 were concentrated in the first two quarters of that year.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 19.9% in 1995 to
21.0% in 1996.

            Interest income increased to $47,000 in 1996 compared to
an expense of $24,000 in 1995.  The increase was attributable to


                                      -12-

<PAGE>

interest earned on investment of cash generated from the Company's and initial
public offering in short-term municipal securities.

            Due to the Company's conversion to a C corporation in 1996, the
provision for income taxes increased from $178,000 in the 1995 period to $3.6
million in the 1996 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
            Historically, the Company has relied primarily upon internally
generated funds supplemented by borrowings as needed to finance its operations
and make distributions to its stockholder. Cash used by operating activities
(including changes in amounts due to or from its factor) totaled $3.8 million in
the 1996 period and cash provided by operating activities totaled $8.2 million
in the 1995 period. This change reflects increases in inventory, accounts
receivable and amounts due from factor resulting from increased offerings of
men's and women's sportswear, the opening of a new account at the end of the
second quarter with a new retail customer and no debt to set off against amounts
due from factor, respectively. Cash used by the Company's investing activities
totaled $638,000 and $313,000 in the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively,
primarily for the purchase of property and equipment. Cash provided by financing
activities in 1996 totaled $11.1 million, principally reflecting the net
proceeds of the sale of the common stock in the Company's initial public
offering less dividends paid to its stockholder prior to such offering. Cash
used by financing activities in 1995 totaled $8.1 million. At June 30, 1996, the
Company had working capital of $36.5 million.

            Capital expenditures totaled $638,000 and $409,000 in the 1996 and
1995 periods, respectively. Capital expenditures in 1996 primarily included
funds for construction of additional in-store shops.

            In May 1996, the Company entered into a 10 year lease for its new
headquarters and distribution facility in Irvine, California which it expects to
occupy in the first or second quarter of 1997. The Company anticipates that it
will incur approximately $2.5 million in capital expenditures in connection with
such facility primarily for tenant improvements and equipment.

            In June 1996, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Giannico, Inc. ("Giannico"), which will be engaged in the screen printing of tee
shirts. The Company anticipates that it will incur approximately $400,000 in
capital expenditures in connection with the formation and operation of Giannico
over the next 5 month period. The Company intends to finance its capital
expenditures with a combination of proceeds from its initial public offering,
cash generated from operations and lessor financing.

            Historically, the Company has sold a substantial portion of its
trade accounts receivable to a factor which assumes the credit risk with respect
to collection of such accounts. The factor pays the Company the receivable
amount after the factor receives payment from the Company's customer or, if
earlier, shortly following the bankruptcy or insolvency of the customer or


                                      -13-

<PAGE>

when the receivable becomes 120 days past due. The Company may request advances
against a percentage, determined by the factor, of the qualifying accounts
receivable factored at any time before their maturity date. The factor charges a
commission on the net sales factored and interest at a negotiated rate over
prime on advances. The factor approves the credit of the Company's customers
prior to sale. If the factor disapproves a sale to a customer and the Company
decides to proceed with the sale, the Company may factor or retain the
receivable but will bear the credit risk in either case. In addition, the
Company does not factor receivables from certain accounts at its election. The
amount of receivables for which the Company bore the credit risk was $4.2
million at June 30, 1996 and $1.4 million at December 31, 1995. The increase is
the result of the Company's sales to a new retail customer, with respect to
which the Company's factor did not assume the credit risk, and an increase in
royalties. The factoring agreement can be terminated at any time by the factor
upon 180 days prior notice. Advances on accounts sold to the factor are payable
on demand. The factoring agreement includes a letter of credit facility. All
obligations under the factoring agreement are collateralized by the Company's
inventory. The Company also has an unsecured $10 million line of credit from a
bank to supplement the liquidity provided by the factoring agreement. There were
no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at June 30, 1996. Such credit
agreement requires the maintenance of various financial levels and ratios, which
could limit amounts available to be borrowed under the line.

            By reason of the Company's treatment as an S corporation for federal
and state income tax purposes, the Company historically has provided to its
principal stockholder funds for the payment of income taxes on the earnings of
the Company. In addition, the Company has historically paid dividends to its
principal stockholder to provide a return on investment. In connection with its
initial public offering, the Company's S corporation status was terminated and
the Company declared the final S corporation distribution of its previously
undistributed earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company paid
dividends, including amounts attributable to the payment of taxes and the final
S corporation distribution of $17.2 million. All such payments were in the first
quarter of 1996. For the foreseeable future, earnings will be retained in the
operations of the business.

            The Company believes that funds generated from operations, the net
proceeds of its initial public offering and available borrowing sources will be
sufficient to meet operating needs and capital expenditures for the next 12
months.

Seasonality
- -----------
            The Company's business is impacted by the general seasonal trends
that are characteristic of the apparel industry. However, due primarily to the
significant growth that the Company has experienced, quarterly sales and profit
trends have not reflected the normal apparel industry seasonality. During 1996
and in future years, the Company expects that its sales may reflect


                                      -14-

<PAGE>

greater seasonal trends as its growth rate moderates and as men's and women's
sportswear become a larger percentage of apparel sales.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- ------------------------------------------
            In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which will be effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require)
compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity
instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB
Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value
of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion
No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees.

                              ARTICLE II.  PREMISES

          SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant
     leases from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the "Premises"),
     including the building identified in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions
     and containing approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the
     Basic Lease Provisions. It is understood that the Premises consist of one
     office building (the "Office Building") comprising approximately 42,840
     rentable square feet and one warehouse building (the "Warehouse Building")
     comprising approximately 164,000 rentable square feet (which together with
     the underlying real

     property, shall collectively be referred to as the "Building"). The
     Premises is a portion of the project shown in Exhibit Y (the "Project").

          SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Except as provided in Section 2.4
     below, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of
     Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the
     Premises or the Building or the suitability or fitness of either for any
     purpose, including without limitation any representations or warranties
     regarding zoning or other land use matters, and that neither Landlord nor
     any representative of Landlord has made any representations or warranties
     regarding (i) what other tenants or uses may be permitted or intended in
     the Building and the Project, or (ii) any exclusivity of use by Tenant with
     respect to its permitted use of the Premises as set forth in Item 3 of the
     Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord
     nor any representative of Landlord has agreed to undertake any alterations
     or additions or construct any improvements to the Premises except as
     expressly provided in this Lease. The taking of possession or use of the
     Premises by Tenant for any purpose other than construction shall
     conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were in
     satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease
     in all respects, except for those matters which Tenant shall have brought
     to Landlord's attention on a written punch list, and except for Landlord's
     express obligations under Section 2.4 of this Lease. The list shall be
     limited to any items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the Work
     Letter attached as Exhibit X, and shall be delivered to Landlord within
     sixty (60) days after the term ("Term") of this Lease commences as provided
     in Article III below. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the
     commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent. Landlord
     shall diligently complete all punch list items of which it is notified as
     provided above.

          SECTION 2.3. BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS. Tenant shall not utilize any
     name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the
     Project as any part of Tenant's corporate or trade name. Landlord shall
     have the right to change the name, address, number or designation of the
     Building or Project without liability to Tenant.

          SECTION 2.4.  [See Rider Page 2-A]


                               ARTICLE III.  TERM

          SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. The Term shall be for the period shown in Item 5
     of the Basic Lease Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2
     below, the Term shall commence ("Commencement Date") on the earlier of (a)
     the date upon which all relevant governmental authorities have approved the
     Tenant Improvements in accordance with applicable building codes, as
     evidenced by written approval thereof in accordance with the building
     permits issued for the Tenant Improvements or issuance of a temporary or


                                       -3-

     final certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or (b) the date Tenant
     acquires possession or commences use of the Premises for any purpose other
     than construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant under the Work Letter.
     Within ten (10) days after possession of the Premises is tendered to
     Tenant, the parties shall memorialize on a form provided by Landlord the
     actual Commencement Date and the expiration date ("Expiration Date") of
     this Lease. Tenant's failure to execute that form shall not affect the
     validity of Landlord's determination of those dates.

          SECTION 3.2. DELAY IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason
     whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or
     before the Estimated Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or
     voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or
     damage. However, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent and the
     Commencement Date shall not occur until Landlord delivers possession of the
     Premises and the Premises are in fact available for Tenant's occupancy with
     any Tenant Improvements that have been approved as per Section 3.1(a)
     above, except that if Landlord's failure to so deliver possession on the
     Estimated Commencement Date is attributable to any action or inaction by
     Tenant (including without limitation any Tenant Delay described in the Work
     Letter, if any, attached to this Lease), then the Commencement Date shall
     not be advanced to the date on which possession of the Premises is tendered
     to Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant
     (including the payment of rent) from the date Landlord would have been able
     to deliver the Premises to Tenant but for Tenant's delay(s).

          [See Rider Page 2-A]


                    ARTICLE IV.  RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES

          SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant
     shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset (except as expressly
     provided in Sections 6.1 and 14.5 of this Lease), Basic Rent for the
     Premises in the total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if
     any) in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Any rental adjustment shown
     in Item 6 shall be deemed to occur on the specified monthly anniversary of
     the Commencement Date, whether or not that date occurs at the end of a
     calendar month. The rent shall be due and payable in advance commencing on
     the Commencement Date (as prorated for any partial month) and continuing
     thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month of the Term.
     No demand, notice or invoice shall be required for the payment of Basic
     Rent. An installment of rent in the amount of one (1) full month's Basic
     Rent at the initial rate specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions
     shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution of this
     Lease and shall be applied against the Basic Rent first due hereunder.

          SECTION 4.2.  OPERATING EXPENSES.

               (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, "Building
     Costs" and "Property Taxes," as those terms are defined below, incurred by
     Landlord in the operation of the Building and Project. For convenience of
     reference, Property Taxes and Building Costs shall be referred to
     collectively as "Operating Expenses".

               (b) Commencing prior to the start of the first full "Expense
     Recovery Period" (as defined below) of the Lease, and prior to the start of
     each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall
     give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Operating Expenses for the
     Expense Recovery Period. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate
     for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall
     continue to pay cost reimbursements at the rates established for the prior
     Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new estimate is
     delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay
     any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new estimate. For purposes
     hereof, "Expense Recovery Period" shall mean every twelve month period
     during the Term (or portion thereof for the first and last lease years)
     commencing July 1 and ending June 30. [See Rider Page 3-A]

               (c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each
     Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement
     showing in reasonable detail the actual or prorated Operating Expenses
     incurred by Landlord during the period, and the parties shall within thirty
     (30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust
     Tenant's estimated payments, if any, to Tenant's actual owed amounts as
     shown by the annual statement. Any delay or failure by Landlord in
     delivering any statement hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
     Landlord's right to require Tenant to pay Operating Expenses pursuant
     hereto. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next
     coming due under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency shall be paid by
     Tenant together with the next installment. If Tenant has not made estimated
     payments during the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by Tenant
     pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance
     with Article XVI. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord's
     determination of actual Operating Expenses within one hundred eighty (180)
     days following delivery of Landlord's initial expense statement, or ninety
     (90) days following delivery of Landlord's expense statement for each of
     the succeeding Expense Recovery Period, then Landlord's determination of
     actual Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall
     be conclusive and binding on the parties and any future claims to the
     contrary shall be barred. [See Rider Page 3-A]

               (d) Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has
     vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Operating
     Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease terminates,
     Tenant shall upon notice pay the entire increase due over the estimated


                                       -5-


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

     expenses paid. Conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses
     decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

               (e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one
     or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s)
     in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated
     expenses for the year, then the estimate of Operating Expenses shall be
     increased for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes
     effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to the increase.
     Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount
     of the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, and
     the month for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the increase to
     Landlord as a part of Tenant's monthly payments of estimated expenses as
     provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which
     effective.

               (f) The term "Building Costs" shall include all expenses of
     operation and maintenance of the Building and of the Building's
     proportionate share of the Project, if applicable (determined as the
     rentable square footage of the Building divided by the rentable square
     footage of all space in the Project), to the extent such expenses are not
     billed to and paid directly by Tenant. For so long as Tenant is the tenant
     of one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable square footage of this
     Project, Tenant's proportionate share of the Project shall be one hundred
     percent (100%). Building Costs shall include the following charges by way
     of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance
     premiums or reasonable premium equivalents should Landlord elect to
     self-insure any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder;
     license, permit, and inspection fees; heat; light; power; air conditioning;
     supplies; materials; equipment; tools; establishment of reasonable reserves
     for replacements and/or repair of Common Area improvements (if applicable)
     subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(f)(ix) below, equipment and
     supplies; costs incurred in connection with compliance of any laws or
     changes in laws amicable to the Building or the Project; the cost of any
     capital investments (other than tenant improvements for specific tenants)
     subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(f)(v) below; labor; reasonably
     allocated wages and salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for
     administrative and other personnel directly applicable to the Building
     and/or Project, including both Landlord's personnel and outside personnel;
     any expense incurred pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 6.4, 7.2, and 10.2; and
     a reasonable overhead/management fee for the professional operation of the
     Building and Project not to exceed a competitive market management fee.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of
     such overhead/management fee to be charged to Tenant shall be determined by
     multiplying the actual fee charged (which from time to time may be with
     respect to the entire Project, a portion of the Project only, the Building
     only, or the Project together with other properties owned by Landlord
     and/or its affiliates) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the floor
     area of the Premises (as set forth in Item No. 8 of the Basic Lease
     Provisions) and the denominator of which is the total square footage of
     space charged with such fee actually leased to tenants (including

     Tenant).  It is understood that Building Costs shall include
     competitive charges for direct services provided by any subsidiary or
     division of Landlord.  [See Rider Page 3-A]

               (g)  The term "Property Taxes" as used herein shall include
     the following:  (i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes,
     as such property taxes may be reassessed from time to time; and
     (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied with
     respect to this Lease or to the Building and/or the Project, and any
     improvements, fixtures and equipment and other property of Landlord
     located in the Building and/or the Project, except that general net
     income and franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded;
     and (iii) all assessments and fees for public improvements, services,
     and facilities and impacts thereon, including without limitation
     arising out of any Community Facilities Districts, "Mello Roos"
     districts, similar assessment districts, and any traffic impact
     mitigation assessments or fees; (iv) any tax, surcharge or assessment
     which shall be levied in addition to or in lieu of real estate or
     personal property taxes, other than taxes covered by Article VIII; and
     (v) costs and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity
     of any Property Tax by appropriate proceedings.  [See Rider Page 3-A]

          SECTION 4.3. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant's delivery of
     this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated in
     Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security
     for the full and faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this
     Lease (the "Security Deposit"). Subject to the last sentence of this
     Section, the Security Deposit shall be understood and agreed to be the
     property of Landlord upon Landlord's receipt thereof, and may be utilized
     by Landlord in its discretion towards the payment of all prepaid expenses
     by Landlord for which Tenant would be required to reimburse Landlord under
     this Lease, including without limitation brokerage commissions and Tenant
     Improvement costs. Upon any default by Tenant, including specifically
     Tenant's failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under Sections
     7.1 and 15.3 below, whether or not Landlord is informed of or has knowledge
     of the default, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be automatically
     and immediately applied, without waiver of any rights Landlord may have
     under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a
     setoff for full or partial compensation for that default. If any portion of
     the Security Deposit is applied after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall
     within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with
     Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its
     original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security
     Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled
     to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant fully performs its
     obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof
     shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee
     of Tenant's interest in this Lease) after the expiration of the Term,
     provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit to the extent and
     until such time as all amounts due from Tenant in accordance with this
     Lease have been determined and paid in full.

     stated in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, all in accordance with
     applicable laws and restrictions and pursuant to approvals to be obtained
     by Tenant from all relevant and required governmental agencies and
     authorities. The parties agree that any contrary use shall be deemed to
     cause material and irreparable harm to Landlord and shall entitle Landlord
     to injunctive relief in addition to any other available remedy. Tenant, at
     its expense, shall procure, maintain and make available for Landlord's
     inspection throughout the Term, all governmental approvals, licenses and
     permits required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's permitted
     use of the Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in
     or about the Premises which will in any way interfere with the rights of
     other occupants of the Building or the Project, if any, or use or allow the
     Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant permit any
     nuisance or commit any waste in the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall
     not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the
     cost of any insurance policy(ies) covering the Building, the Project and/or
     their contents (unless Tenant pays such additional cost within fifteen (15)
     days following notice from Landlord, and shall comply with all applicable
     insurance underwriters rules and the requirements of the Pacific Fire
     Rating Bureau or any other organization performing a similar function.
     Tenant shall comply at its expense with all present and future laws,
     ordinances, restrictions, regulations, orders, rules and requirements of
     all governmental authorities that pertain to Tenant or its use of the
     Premises, including without limitation all federal and state occupational
     health and safety requirements, whether or not Tenant's compliance will
     necessitate expenditures or interfere with its use and enjoyment of the
     Premises. Tenant shall comply at its expense with all present and future
     covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions now or hereafter affecting
     or encumbering the Building and/or Project, and any amendments or
     modifications thereto, including without limitation the payment by Tenant
     of any periodic or special dues or assessments charged against the Premises
     or Tenant which may be allocated to the Premises or Tenant in accordance
     with the provisions thereof (and subject to any limitation in this Lease).
     [See Rider Page 4-A] Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord
     for any additional insurance premium charged by reason of Tenant's failure
     to comply with the provisions of this Section, and shall indemnify Landlord
     from any liability and/or expense resulting from Tenant's noncompliance.

          SECTION 5.2.  SIGNS.  (a) Except as approved in writing by
     Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, Tenant shall have no right to
     maintain identification signs in any location in, on or about the
     Premises, the Building or the Project and shall not place or erect any
     signs, displays or other advertising materials that are visible from
     the exterior of the Building.  The size, design, graphics, material,

     subject to Landlord's written approval prior to installation (which
     approval may be withheld in Landlord's discretion), any covenants,
     conditions or restrictions encumbering the Premises, Landlord's signage
     program for the Project, as in effect from time to time and approved by the
     City of Irvine ("Signage Criteria"), and any applicable municipal or other
     governmental permits and approvals. Tenant acknowledges having received and
     reviewed a copy of the current Signage Criteria for the Project. Tenant
     shall be responsible for the cost of any permitted sign, including the
     fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal thereof. If Tenant fails
     to maintain its sign, or if Tenant fails to remove same upon termination of
     this Lease and repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may do so
     at Tenant's expense. [See Rider Page 4-A]

          SECTION 5.3.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

               (a) For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials"
     includes (i) any "hazardous materials" as defined in Section 25501(k) of
     the California Health and Safety Code, (ii) any other substance or matter
     which results in liability to any person or entity from exposure to such
     substance or matter under any statutory or common law theory, and (iii) any
     substance or matter which is in excess of permitted levels set forth in any
     federal, California or local law or regulation pertaining to any hazardous
     or toxic substance, material or waste.

               (b) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to
     be brought upon, stored, used, generated, released or disposed of on,
     under, from or about the Premises (including without limitation the soil
     and groundwater thereunder) without the prior written consent of Landlord.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without
     obtaining prior written consent of Landlord, to utilize within the Premises
     standard office products that may contain Hazardous Materials (such as
     photocopy toner, "White Out", and the like) [See Rider Page 4-A] all of the
     other terms and provisions of this Section 5.3, shall apply with respect to
     Tenant's storage, use and disposal of all such products. Landlord may, in
     its reasonable discretion, place such conditions as Landlord deems
     appropriate with respect to any such Hazardous Materials, and may further
     require that Tenant demonstrate that any such Hazardous Materials are
     necessary or useful to Tenant's business and will be generated, stored,
     used and disposed of in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and
     regulations pertaining thereto and with good business practices. Tenant
     understands that Landlord may utilize an environmental consultant to assist
     in determining conditions of approval in connection with the storage,
     generation, release, disposal or use of Hazardous Materials by Tenant on or
     about the Premises, and/or to conduct periodic inspections of the storage,
     generation, use, release and/or disposal of such Hazardous Materials by
     Tenant on and from the Premises, and Tenant agrees that any reasonable
     costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (not to exceed $500.00

     in each instance) shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional 
     rent hereunder upon demand.

               (c) Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall complete,
     execute and deliver to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire and
     Disclosure Statement (the "Environmental Questionnaire") in the form of
     Exhibit B attached hereto. The completed Environmental Questionnaire shall
     be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall
     be entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. On each
     anniversary of the Commencement Date until the expiration or sooner
     termination of this Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the
     names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials which were stored, generated,
     used, released and/or disposed of on, under or about the Premises for the
     twelve-month period prior thereto, and which Tenant desires to store,
     generate, use, release and/or dispose of on, under or about the Premises
     for the succeeding twelve-month period. In addition, to the extent Tenant
     is permitted to utilize Hazardous Materials upon the Premises, Tenant shall
     promptly provide Landlord with complete and legible copies of all the
     following environmental documents relating thereto: reports filed pursuant
     to any self-reporting requirements; permit applications, permits,
     monitoring reports, workplace exposure and community exposure warnings or
     notices and all other reports, disclosures, plans or documents (even those
     which may be characterized as confidential) relating to water discharges,
     air pollution, waste generation or disposal, and underground storage tanks
     for Hazardous Materials; orders, reports, notices, listings and
     correspondence (even those which may be considered confidential) of or
     concerning the release, investigation of, compliance, cleanup, remedial and
     corrective actions, and abatement of Hazardous Materials; and all
     complaints, pleadings and other legal documents filed by or against Tenant
     related to Tenant's use, handling, storage, release and/or disposal of
     Hazardous Materials.

               (d) Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the
     obligation, to inspect, sample and/or monitor the Premises and/or the soil
     or groundwater thereunder at any time to determine whether Tenant is
     complying with the terms of this Section 5.3, and in connection therewith
     Tenant shall provide Landlord with full access to all relevant facilities,
     records and personnel. If Tenant is not in compliance with any of the
     provisions of this Section 5.3, or in the event of a release of any
     Hazardous Material on, under or about the Premises caused or permitted by
     Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Landlord
     and its agents shall have the right, but not the obligation, without
     limitation upon any of Landlord's other rights and remedies under this
     Lease, to immediately enter upon the Premises without notice and to
     discharge Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.3 at Tenant's expense,
     including without limitation the taking of emergency or long-term remedial
     action. Landlord and its agents shall endeavor to minimize interference
     with Tenant's business in connection therewith, but shall not be liable for
     any such interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall
     have the right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in any

     legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any claims
     arising out of the storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal by
     Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees of
     Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises.

               (e) If the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or
     about the Premises or the Project caused or permitted by Tenant or its
     agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees results in (i) injury
     to any person, (ii) injury to or any contamination of the Premises or the
     Project, or (iii) injury to or contamination of any real or personal
     property wherever situated, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all
     actions necessary to return the Premises and the Project and any other
     affected real or personal property owned by Landlord to the condition
     existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials and to
     remedy or repair any such injury or contamination, including without
     limitation, any cleanup, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or
     other treatment of any such Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, take
     any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials
     on, under or about the Premises or the Project or any other affected real
     or personal property owned by Landlord or enter into any similar agreement,
     consent, decree or other compromise with any governmental agency with
     respect to any Hazardous Materials claims; provided however, Landlord's
     prior written consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence
     of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or the Project or
     any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord (i) imposes
     an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or
     (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary
     and it is not possible to obtain Landlord's consent before taking such
     action. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify,
     hold harmless, protect and defend (with attorneys acceptable to Landlord)
     Landlord and any successors to all or any portion of Landlord's interest in
     the Premises and the Project and any other real or personal property owned
     by Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
     diminution in value, judgments, fines, demands, claims, recoveries,
     deficiencies, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys'
     fees, court costs and other professional expenses), whether foreseeable or
     unforeseeable, arising directly or indirectly out of the use, generation,
     storage, treatment, release, on- or off-site disposal or transportation of
     Hazardous Materials on, into, from, under or about the Premises, the
     Building and the Project and any other real or personal property owned by
     Landlord caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
     licensees or invitees, specifically including without limitation the cost
     of any required or necessary repair, restoration, cleanup or detoxification
     of the Premises, the Building and the Project and any other real or
     personal property owned by Landlord, and the preparation of any closure or
     other required plans, whether or not such action is required or necessary
     during the Term or after the expiration of this Lease. If Landlord at any
     time discovers that Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     or invitees may have caused or permitted the release of a Hazardous
     Material on, under, from or about the Premises or the Project or any other
     real or personal property owned by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Landlord's
     request, immediately prepare and submit to Landlord a comprehensive plan,
     subject to Landlord's approval, specifying the actions to be taken by
     Tenant to return the Premises or the Project or any other real or personal
     property owned by Landlord to the condition existing prior to the
     introduction of such Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord's approval of such
     cleanup plan, Tenant shall, at its expense, and without limitation of any
     rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity,
     immediately implement such plan and proceed to cleanup such Hazardous
     Materials in accordance with all applicable laws and as required by such
     plan and this Lease. The provisions of this subsection (e) shall expressly
     survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

               (f) Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby
     acknowledges, certain facts relating to Hazardous Materials at the Project
     known by Landlord to exist as of the date of this Lease, as more
     particularly described in Exhibit C attached hereto. Tenant shall have no
     liability or responsibility with respect to the Hazardous Materials facts
     described in Exhibit C, nor with respect to any Hazardous Materials which
     were not caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
     licensees or invitees. [See Rider Page 5-A] Notwithstanding the preceding
     four sentences, Tenant agrees to notify its agents, employees, contractors,
     licensees, and invitees of any exposure or potential exposure to Hazardous
     Materials at the Premises that Landlord brings to Tenant's attention.


                       ARTICLE VI.  COMMON AREAS; SERVICES

          SECTION 6.1. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall be responsible for
     and shall pay promptly, directly to the appropriate supplier, all charges
     for water, gas, electricity, sewer, heat, light, power, telephone, refuse
     pickup, janitorial service, interior landscape maintenance and all other
     utilities, materials and services furnished directly to Tenant or the
     Premises or used by Tenant in, on or about the Premises during the Term,
     together with any taxes thereon. Landlord shall not be liable for damages
     or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility or other
     service furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption
     shall be deemed an eviction or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or
     withhold or abate any rent due hereunder. [See Rider Page 5-A] Landlord
     shall at all reasonable times have free access to all electrical and
     mechanical installations of Landlord.

          SECTION 6.2. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. During the
     Term, Landlord shall operate all Common Areas within the Project. The term
     "Common Areas" shall mean all areas which are not held for exclusive use by
     persons entitled to occupy space, and all other appurtenant areas and
     improvements provided by Landlord for the common use of Landlord and 


                                      -12-


                                      -34-

<PAGE>

     tenants and their respective employees and invitees, including without
     limitation parking areas and structures, driveways, sidewalks, landscaped
     and planted areas, hallways and interior stairwells not located within the
     premises of any tenant (in the event another tenant shall occupy any
     portion of the Project), common electrical rooms and roof access entries,
     common entrances and lobbies, elevators, and restrooms not located within
     the premises of any tenant. [See Rider Page 6-A]

          SECTION 6.3. USE OF COMMON AREAS. The occupancy by Tenant of the
     Premises shall include the use of the Common Areas in common with Landlord
     and with all others for whose convenience and use the Common Areas may be
     provided by Landlord, subject, however, to compliance with all rules and
     regulations as are prescribed from time to time by Landlord. [See Rider
     Page 6-A] Landlord shall operate and maintain the Common Areas in the
     manner Landlord may determine to be appropriate. All costs incurred by
     Landlord for the maintenance and operation of the Common Areas shall be
     included in Building Costs unless any particular cost incurred can be
     charged to a specific tenant of the Project, if more than one (1) tenant
     shall at any time occupy any portion of the Project. Landlord shall at all
     times during the Term have exclusive control of the Common Areas, and may
     restrain any use or occupancy, except as authorized by Landlord's rules and
     regulations. Tenant shall keep the Common Areas clear of any obstruction or
     unauthorized use related to Tenant's operations. Nothing in this Lease
     shall be deemed to impose liability upon Landlord for any damage to or loss
     of the property of, or for any injury to, Tenant, its invitees or
     employees. Landlord may temporarily close any portion of the Common Areas
     for repairs, remodeling and/or alterations, to prevent a public dedication
     or the accrual of prescriptive rights, or for any other reason deemed
     sufficient by Landlord, without liability to Landlord.

          SECTION 6.4. PARKING. Tenant shall be entitled, without additional
     charge, to the number of vehicle parking spaces set forth in Item 14 of the
     Basic Lease Provisions, which spaces shall be unreserved and unassigned, on
     those portions of the Common Areas designated by Landlord for parking.
     Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than such number. [See Rider Page
     6-A] All parking spaces shall be used only for parking by vehicles no
     larger than full size passenger automobiles or pickup trucks. Tenant shall
     not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant
     or Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be
     loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord
     for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited
     activities described above, then Landlord shall have the right, without
     notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that Landlord may
     have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the costs to
     Tenant. Parking within the Common Areas shall be limited to striped parking
     stalls, and no parking shall be permitted in any driveways, access ways or
     in any area which would prohibit or impede the free flow of traffic within
     the Common Areas. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed to create
     liability upon Landlord for any damage to motor vehicles of visitors or


                                      -13-


                                      -35-

<PAGE>

     employees, for any loss of property from within those motor vehicles, or
     for any injury to Tenant, its visitors or employees, unless ultimately
     determined to be caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct
     of Landlord, its agents, servants and employees. Landlord shall have the
     right to establish, and from time to time amend, and to enforce against all
     users all reasonable rules and regulations (including the designation of
     areas for employee parking) that Landlord may deem necessary and advisable
     for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of parking within
     the Common Areas. Landlord shall have the right to construct, maintain and
     operate lighting facilities within the parking areas; to restrict parking
     by tenants, their officers, agents and employees to employee parking areas;
     and to do and perform such other acts in and to the parking areas and
     improvements therein as, in the use of good business judgment, Landlord
     shall determine to be advisable. Any person using the parking area shall
     observe all directional signs and arrows and any posted speed limits. In no
     event shall Tenant interfere with the use and enjoyment of the parking area
     by other tenants of the Project or their employees or invitees. [See Rider
     Page 6-A] Parking areas shall be used only for parking vehicles. Tenant
     shall be liable for any damage to the parking areas caused by Tenant or
     Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees, including
     without limitation damage from excess oil leakage. Tenant shall have no
     right to install any fixtures, equipment or personal property in the
     parking areas. [See Rider Page 6-A]

          SECTION 6.5. CHANGES AND ADDITIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the
     right to make alterations or additions to the Project, or to the attendant
     fixtures, equipment and Common Areas. Landlord may at any time relocate or
     remove any of the various buildings (other than the Building), parking
     areas, and other Common Areas, and may add buildings and areas to the
     Project from time to time. No change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement
     of rent or other claim against Landlord, provided that the change does not
     deprive Tenant of reasonable access to or use of the Premises. [See Rider
     Page 6-A]


                     ARTICLE VII.  MAINTAINING THE PREMISES

          SECTION 7.1. TENANT'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Tenant at its sole
     expense shall comply with all applicable laws and governmental regulations
     governing the Premises and make all repairs necessary to keep the Premises
     in the condition as existed on the Commencement Date (or on any later date
     that the improvements may have been installed), excepting ordinary wear and
     tear, including without limitation the electrical and mechanical systems,
     any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the
     Premises, all walls, glass, windows, doors, door closures, hardware,
     fixtures, electrical, plumbing, fire extinguisher equipment and other
     equipment. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed
     ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good
     maintenance practices by Tenant. As part of its maintenance obligations

     hereunder, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, provide Landlord with
     copies of all maintenance schedules, reports and notices prepared by, for
     or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall obtain preventive maintenance
     contracts from a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor to
     provide for regular inspection and maintenance of the heating, ventilating
     and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises, all subject to
     Landlord's approval. All repairs shall be at least equal in quality to the
     original work, shall be made only by a licensed contractor approved in
     writing in advance by Landlord and shall be made only at the time or times
     approved by Landlord. Any contractor utilized by Tenant shall be subject to
     Landlord's standard requirements for contractors, as modified from time to
     time. Landlord shall have the right at all times to inspect Tenant's
     maintenance of all equipment (including without limitation air
     conditioning, ventilating and heating equipment), and may impose reasonable
     restrictions and requirements with respect to repairs, as provided in
     Section 7.3, and the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply to all repairs.
     Alternatively, Landlord may elect to make any repair or maintenance
     required hereunder on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's expense, and Tenant
     shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all, costs incurred upon submission
     of an invoice. [See Rider Page 6-A]

          SECTION 7.2. LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Subject to Section 7.1
     and Article XI, Landlord shall provide service, maintenance and repair with
     respect to the roof, foundations, and footings of the Building, all
     landscaping, walkways, parking areas, Common Areas, exterior lighting, and
     the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building, except that
     Tenant at its expense shall make all repairs which Landlord deems
     reasonably necessary as a result of the act or negligence of Tenant, its
     agents, employees, invitees, subtenants or contractors. Landlord shall have
     the right to employ or designate any reputable person or firm, including
     any employee or agent of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates or
     divisions, to perform any service, repair or maintenance function. Landlord
     need not make any other improvements or repairs except as specifically
     required under this Lease, and nothing contained in this Section, except as
     expressly provided in Section 2.4 hereof, shall limit Landlord's right to
     reimbursement from Tenant for maintenance, repair costs and replacement
     costs as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant understands that it shall
     not make repairs at Landlord's expense or by rental offset. Tenant further
     understands that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs to the
     roof, foundations or footings unless and until Tenant has notified Landlord
     in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have a reasonable
     period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if
     warranted. All costs of any maintenance and repairs on the part of Landlord
     provided hereunder shall be considered part of Building Costs. [See Rider
     Page 7-A]

          SECTION 7.3.  ALTERATIONS.  [See Rider Page 7-A]  (i) affect the
     exterior of the Building or outside areas (or be visible from
     adjoining sites), or (ii) affect or penetrate any of the structural
     portions of the Building, including but not limited to the roof, or


                                      -15-


                                      -37-

<PAGE>

     (iii) require any change to the basic floor plan of the Premises, any
     substantial change to any structural or mechanical systems of the Premises,
     or any governmental permit as a prerequisite to the construction thereof,
     or (iv) unreasonably interfere in any manner with the proper functioning of
     or Landlord's access to any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC
     systems, facilities or equipment located in or serving the Building, or (v)
     diminish the value of the Premises, in Landlord's reasonable determination.
     Landlord may impose, as a condition to its consent, any requirements that
     Landlord in its discretion may deem reasonable or desirable, including but
     not limited to a requirement that all work be covered by a lien and
     completion bond satisfactory to Landlord and requirements as to the manner,
     time, and contractor for performance of the work. Tenant shall obtain all
     required permits for the work and shall perform the work in compliance with
     all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, all covenants, conditions
     and restrictions affecting the Project, and the Rules and Regulations
     (hereafter defined). If any governmental entity requires, as a condition to
     any proposed alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises by
     Tenant, that improvements be made to the Common Areas, and if Landlord
     consents to such improvements to the Common Areas, then Tenant shall, at
     Tenant's sole expense, make such required improvements to the Common Areas
     in such manner, utilizing such materials, and with such contractors
     (including, if required by Landlord, Landlord's contractors) as Landlord
     may require in its sole discretion. Under no circumstances shall Tenant
     make any improvement which incorporates any Hazardous Materials, including
     without limitation asbestos-containing construction materials into the
     Premises. Any request for Landlord's consent shall be made in writing and
     shall contain architectural plans describing the work in detail reasonably
     satisfactory to Landlord. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all
     alterations, additions or improvements affixed to the Premises (excluding
     moveable trade fixtures and furniture) shall become the property of
     Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term,
     except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove by
     the Expiration Date, or sooner termination date of this Lease, all or any
     alterations, decorations, fixtures, additions, improvements and the like
     installed either by Tenant or by Landlord at Tenant's request and to repair
     any damage to the Premises arising from that removal. [See Rider Page 7-A]

          SECTION 7.4. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free
     from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or
     obligations incurred by or for Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant
     shall promptly cause any such lien to be released by posting a bond in
     accordance with California Civil Code Section 3143 or any successor
     statute. In the event that Tenant shall not, within thirty (30) days
     following the imposition of any lien, cause the lien to be released of
     record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in
     addition to all other available remedies, the right to cause the lien to be
     released by any means it deems proper, including payment of or defense
     against the claim giving rise to the lien. All expenses so incurred by
     Landlord, including Landlord's attorneys' fees, and any consequential or
     other damages incurred by Landlord arising out of such lien, shall be


                                      -16-


                                      -38-

<PAGE>

     reimbursed by Tenant promptly following Landlord's demand, together with
     interest from the date of payment by Landlord at the maximum rate permitted
     by law until paid. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than twenty (20)
     days' prior notice in writing before commencing construction of any kind on
     the Premises so that Landlord may post and maintain notices of
     non-responsibility on the Premises.

          SECTION 7.5. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all reasonable
     times, upon [See Rider Page 7-A] have the right to enter the Premises to
     inspect them, to supply services in accordance with this Lease, to protect
     the interests of Landlord in the Premises, and to submit the Premises to
     prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders (or, during the
     last one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Term or when an uncured
     Tenant default exists, to prospective tenants), all without being deemed to
     have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent except as
     provided elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right, if
     desired, to retain a key which unlocks all of the doors in the Premises,
     excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to
     use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in
     an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the
     Premises obtained by Landlord shall not under any circumstances be deemed
     to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or
     any eviction of Tenant from the Premises.


            ARTICLE VIII.  TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT'S PROPERTY

          Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, at least ten (10) days
     before delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all personal
     property of Tenant located in the Premises, and against any alterations,
     additions or like improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of
     Tenant. When possible Tenant shall cause its personal property, Above
     Standard Improvements and alterations to be assessed and billed separately
     from the real property of which the Premises form a part. If any taxes on
     Tenant's personal property, and/or alterations are levied against Landlord
     or Landlord's property and if Landlord pays the same, or if the assessed
     value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion of a value
     placed upon the personal property, and/or alterations of Tenant and if
     Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment, Tenant shall
     pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the bill which is
     assessed against Landlord separately, or Landlord and Tenant jointly, is
     attributable to Tenant's alterations and personal property, Landlord's
     reasonable determination shall be conclusive.

                     ARTICLE IX.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

          SECTION 9.1.  RIGHTS OF PARTIES.

               (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary,
     Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, sublet,
     encumber, or otherwise transfer all, or any part of Tenant's interest in
     this Lease, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than
     Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not
     unreasonably be withheld in accordance with the provisions of Section
     9.1.(b). No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of
     law) and no subletting shall be valid or effective without Landlord's prior
     written consent and, at Landlord's election, any such assignment or
     subletting or attempted assignment or subletting shall constitute a
     material default of this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have given
     its consent to any assignment or subletting by any other course of action.
     To the extent not prohibited by provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
     U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), including Section
     365(f)(1), Tenant on behalf of itself and its creditors, administrators and
     assigns waives the applicability of Section 365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code
     unless the proposed assignee of the Trustee for the estate of the bankrupt
     meets Landlord's standard for consent as set forth in Section 9.1(b) of
     this Lease. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to
     the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other
     considerations to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be
     delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of
     Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of
     Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to
     which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy
     Code shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under
     this Lease on and after the date of the assignment, and shall upon demand
     execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.

               (b) If Tenant desires to transfer an interest in this Lease, it
     shall first notify Landlord of its desire and shall submit in writing to
     Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (ii) the
     nature of any proposed subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on
     in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed sublease or
     assignment, including a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease form;
     (iv) evidence of insurance of the proposed assignee or subtenant complying
     with the requirements of Exhibit D hereto; (v) a completed Environmental
     Questionnaire from the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (vi) any other
     information requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the transfer.
     Except as provided in Subsection (e) of this Section, Landlord shall not
     unreasonably withhold its consent, provided: (1) the use of the Premises
     will be consistent with the provisions of this Lease and with Landlord's
     commitment to other tenants of the Project; (2) the proposed assignee or
     subtenant has not been required by any prior landlord, lender or
     governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with


                                      -18-


                                      -40-

<PAGE>

     Hazardous Materials contaminating a property arising out of the proposed
     assignee's or subtenant's actions or use of the property in question and is
     not subject to any enforcement order issued by any governmental authority
     in connection with the use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material;
     (3) at Landlord's election, insurance requirements shall be brought into
     conformity with Landlord's then current reasonable leasing practice; (4)
     any proposed subtenant or assignee demonstrates that it is financially
     responsible by submission to Landlord of all reasonable information as
     Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee,
     including, but not limited to, a balance sheet of the proposed subtenant or
     assignee as of a date within ninety (90) days of the request for Landlord's
     consent and statements of income or profit and loss of the proposed
     subtenant or assignee for the two-year period preceding the request for
     Landlord's consent, and/or a certification signed by the proposed subtenant
     or assignee that it has not been evicted or been in arrears in rent at any
     other leased premises for the 3-year period preceding the request for
     Landlord's consent; (5) any proposed subtenant or assignee demonstrates to
     Landlord's reasonable satisfaction a record of successful experience in
     business; (6) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not an existing tenant
     of the Project or a prospect with whom Landlord is negotiating to become a
     tenant at the Project; and (7) the proposed transfer will not impose
     additional burdens or adverse tax effects on Landlord.

     If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant may within ninety
     (90) days after the date of the consent effect the transfer upon the terms
     described in the information furnished to Landlord; provided that any
     material change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as set
     forth in this Section. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested
     transfer within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant's written
     request, the information set forth above, and the fee set forth below.

               (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (b) above, in
     lieu of consenting to a proposed assignment [See Rider Page 8-A], Landlord
     may elect to (i) sublease the Premises (or the portion proposed to be
     subleased), or take an assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease, upon
     the same terms as offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee (excluding
     terms relating to the purchase of personal property, the use of Tenant's
     name or the continuation of Tenant's business), or (ii) terminate this
     Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased or
     assigned with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable under this
     Lease, effective on the date that the proposed sublease or assignment would
     have become effective. Landlord may thereafter, at its option, assign or
     re-let any space so recaptured to any third party, including without
     limitation the proposed transferee of Tenant.

               (d) Tenant agrees that fifty percent (50%) of any base rental
     amounts paid by the assignee or subtenant, however described, in excess of
     (i) the Basic Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, or in the case of a
     sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of the Basic Rent


                                      -19-


                                      -41-

<PAGE>

     reasonably allocable to such portion, plus (ii) Tenant's direct
     out-of-pocket costs which Tenant certifies to Landlord have been paid [See
     Rider Page 8-A] shall be the property of Landlord and such amounts shall be
     payable directly to Landlord by the assignee or subtenant or, at Landlord's
     option, by Tenant. At Landlord's request, a written agreement shall be
     entered into by and among Tenant, Landlord and the proposed assignee or
     subtenant confirming the requirements of this subsection.

               (e) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee of Five Hundred Dollars
     ($500.00) if and when any transfer hereunder is requested by Tenant. Such
     fee is hereby acknowledged as a reasonable amount to reimburse Landlord for
     its costs of review and evaluation of a proposed assignee/sublessee, and
     Landlord shall not be obligated to consent to such transfer unless and
     until such fee is paid.

          SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No subletting or assignment, even
     with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay
     rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease. Moreover,
     Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in Section
     10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee or subtenant. Each assignee,
     other than Landlord, shall be deemed to assume all obligations of Tenant
     under this Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for
     the payment of all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant's
     obligations, under this Lease. No transfer shall be binding on Landlord
     unless any document memorializing the transfer is delivered to Landlord and
     both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed
     consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and consistent with the
     requirements of this Article. The acceptance by Landlord of any payment due
     under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver
     by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
     transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as
     a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights
     under this Lease.

          SECTION 9.3.  SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS.  The following terms and
     conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part
     of the Premises and shall be deemed included in each sublease:

               (a) Each and every provision contained in this Lease (other than
     with respect to the payment of rent hereunder) is incorporated by reference
     into and made a part of such sublease, with "Landlord" hereunder meaning
     the sublandlord therein and "Tenant" hereunder meaning the subtenant
     therein.

               (b) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's
     interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the
     Premises, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same
     toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
     a default occurs in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this
     Lease, Tenant shall have the right to receive and collect the sublease
     rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection


                                      -20-


                                      -42-

<PAGE>

     of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance
     of any of Tenant's obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby
     irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written
     notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default exists in the
     performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord
     all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the
     subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and
     notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall
     have no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so
     paid to Landlord.

               (c) In the event of the termination of this Lease, Landlord may,
     at its sole option, take over Tenant's entire interest in any sublease and,
     upon notice from Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no
     event, however, shall Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission
     by Tenant under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental
     payments or deposits under the sublease that have not been actually
     delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease
     modification executed without Landlord's consent or for any advance rental
     payment by the subtenant in excess of one month's rent. The general
     provisions of this Lease, including without limitation those pertaining to
     insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference
     into the sublease despite the termination of this Lease.

          SECTION 9.4. [See Rider Page 9-A]


                       ARTICLE X.  INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

          SECTION 10.1.  TENANT'S INSURANCE.  Tenant, at its sole cost and
     expense, shall provide and maintain in effect the insurance described
     in Exhibit D.  Evidence of that insurance must be delivered to
     Landlord prior to the Commencement Date.

          SECTION 10.2.  LANDLORD'S INSURANCE.  [See Rider Page 9-A]


          SECTION 10.3. TENANT'S INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by
     law, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless
     Landlord, [See Rider Page 9-A] any corporations or other entities
     controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord, from and
     against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either
     before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant's use or occupancy of the
     Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from the conduct of its
     business, or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered
     by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the
     Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from any default in the
     performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under this
     Lease, or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees,
     visitors, patrons, guests, invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at


                                      -21-


                                      -43-

<PAGE>

     its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord's defense in any action
     covered by this Section through counsel reasonably satisfactory to
     Landlord. [See Rider Page 9-A] The provisions of this section shall
     expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

          SECTION 10.4. LANDLORD'S NONLIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to
     Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all
     claims against Landlord for loss of or damage to any property, or any
     injury to any person, or loss or interruption of business or income, or any
     other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability whatsoever (including without
     limitation any consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs)
     resulting from, but not limited to, Acts of God, acts of civil disobedience
     or insurrection, acts or omissions of other tenants within the Project or
     their agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees, fire, explosion,
     falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or
     flow from or into any part of the Building or from the breakage, leakage,
     obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
     plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works or other fixtures in the
     Building, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in
     the Premises or in other portions of the Project. [See Rider Page 10-A] It
     is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation
     or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Except as provided in
     Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no
     liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with
     Tenant's business (including without limitation consequential damages and
     lost profit or opportunity costs) arising from the making of any repairs,
     alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including
     repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord
     constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in
     making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as
     little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant's business in
     the Premises. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for
     interference with light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall
     immediately notify Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises,
     the Building or the Project and of defects in any improvements or
     equipment.

          SECTION 10.5. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby
     waives all rights of recovery against the other and the other's agents on
     account of loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party
     to the extent only that such loss or damage is required to be insured
     against or, in fact is insured against, under any "all risk" property
     insurance policies required by this Article XI (notwithstanding any self
     insurance program with respect to such risks which may then be in effect).
     By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor
     Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or
     otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against
     under any "all-risk" property insurance policies required by this Article,
     even though such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of
     such party, its agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees.

     The provisions of this Section shall not limit the indemnification
     provisions elsewhere contained in this Lease. [See Rider Page 10-A]


                       ARTICLE XI.  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

          SECTION 11.1.  RESTORATION.

               (a) If the Building is damaged, Landlord shall repair that damage
     as soon as reasonably possible, at its expense, unless: (i) Landlord
     reasonably determines that more than $100,000 of the cost of repair is not
     covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance (notwithstanding
     any self insurance program with respect to such risks which may then be in
     effect) plus such additional amounts Tenant elects, at its option, to
     contribute, excluding however the amount of a reasonable deductible (not to
     exceed $10,000.00) (for which Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's
     proportionate share); (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the Premises
     cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Landlord (or cannot
     be safety repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors, including
     without limitation Hazardous Materials, earthquake faults, and other
     similar dangers) within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of
     the damage; (iii) an event of default by Tenant has occurred and is
     continuing at the time of such damage; or (iv) the damage occurs during the
     final twelve (12) months of the Term (and would cost more than $100,000.00
     to repair). Should Landlord elect not to repair the damage for one of the
     preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing within thirty
     (30) days after the damage occurs and this Lease shall terminate as of the
     date of that notice.

               (b) Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in accordance
     with subsection (a) above, this Lease shall continue in effect for the
     remainder of the Term; provided that so long as Tenant is not in default
     under this Lease, if the damage is so extensive that Landlord reasonably
     determines that the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be repaired
     by Landlord (or cannot be safely repaired because of the presence of
     hazardous factors, earthquake faults, and other similar dangers) so as to
     allow Tenant's substantial use and enjoyment of the Premises within two
     hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage, [See Rider Page 10-A]
     then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord
     within the thirty (30) day period stated in subsection (a).

               (c) Commencing on the date of any damage to the Building, and
     ending on the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this
     Lease is terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated
     in the same proportion that the floor area of the Building that is rendered
     unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of
     the Building. [See Rider Page 10-A]

               (d)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a), (b)
     and (c) of this Section, and subject to the provisions of Section 10.5


                                      -23-


                                      -45-

<PAGE>

     above, the cost of any repairs shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall
     not be entitled to rental abatement or termination rights, if the damage is
     due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Tenant or its
     employees, subtenants, invitees or representatives. In addition, the
     provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to require Landlord to
     repair any improvements or fixtures that Tenant is obligated to repair or
     insure pursuant to any other provision of this Lease.

               (e) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing
     Tenant's personal property and any debris from the Premises to facilitate
     all inspections of the Premises and the making of any repairs.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if
     Landlord in good faith believes there is a risk of injury to persons or
     damage to property from entry into the Building or Premises following any
     damage or destruction thereto, Landlord may restrict entry into the
     Building or the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents and contractors
     in a non-discriminatory manner, without being deemed to have violated
     Tenant's rights of quiet enjoyment to, or made an unlawful detainer of, or
     evicted Tenant from, the Premises. Upon request, Landlord shall consult
     with Tenant to determine if there are safe methods of entry into the
     Building or the Premises solely in order to allow Tenant to retrieve files,
     data in computers, and necessary inventory, subject however to all
     indemnities and waivers of liability from Tenant to Landlord contained in
     this Lease and any additional indemnities and waivers of liability which
     Landlord may require.

          SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this
     Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage
     or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule
     of law.


                          ARTICLE XII.  EMINENT DOMAIN

          SECTION 12.1. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of
     the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of
     eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may
     terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be
     surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the
     Premises is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to
     restore the Premises in such a way as to alter the Premises materially,
     either party may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other
     party, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither
     party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord
     shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed
     to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the
     taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent
     corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of
     which, Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the
     event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the


                                      -24-


                                      -46-

<PAGE>

     condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant;
     provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any
     interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking
     authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to
     Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from
     the taking authority.

          SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises
     shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent,
     and any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the
     Premises shall belong entirety to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be
     deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period
     of not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.

          SECTION 12.3. TAKING OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a
     taking of the parking area such that Landlord can no longer provide
     sufficient parking to comply with Item 14 of the Basic Provisions of this
     Lease, Landlord may substitute reasonably equivalent parking for up to but
     not exceeding 52 spaces in a location reasonably close to the Building;
     provided that if Landlord fails to make that substitution within sixty days
     following the taking and if the taking materially impairs Tenant's use and
     enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease
     by written notice to Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated by
     Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue
     in effect.


         ARTICLE XIII.  SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIALS

          SECTION 13.1. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord, this Lease
     shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases,
     mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the
     Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements
     and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default
     under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, this Lease shall not be
     terminated or Tenant's quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in the
     event of termination of any such ground or underlying Lease, or the
     foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which Tenant has
     subordinated this Lease pursuant to this Section. In the event of a
     termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn to
     the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as
     are contained in this Lease, and shall execute any instrument reasonably
     required by Landlord's successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, upon
     written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be
     required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this
     Lease to any ground or underlying Lease or to the lien of any mortgage or
     deed of trust (provided that such instruments include the nondisturbance
     and attornment provisions set forth above), or, if requested by Landlord,

     to subordinate, in whole or in part, any ground or underlying lease or the
     lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease. [See Rider Page 11-A]

          SECTION 13.2.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

               (a) Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days
     prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
     Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in
     writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
     effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and
     certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and
     the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been
     paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant's actual
     knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or
     specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth all
     further information that Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant's
     statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer
     of the Premises.

               (b) Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies of Landlord,
     Tenant's failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time
     shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and
     effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii)
     there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more
     than one month's rental has been paid in advance.

          SECTION 13.3.  FINANCIALS.

               (a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the execution of
     this Lease and thereafter at any time upon Landlord's request, Tenant's
     current tax returns and financial statements, certified true, accurate and
     complete by the chief financial officer of Tenant, including a balance
     sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent prior year
     (collectively, the "Statements"), which Statements shall accurately and
     completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant. Landlord agrees that
     it will keep the Statements confidential, except that Landlord shall have
     the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser or encumbrancer of
     the Premises. [See Rider Page 11-A]

               (b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the
     Statements in its determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant
     represents to Landlord, which representation shall be deemed made on the
     date of this Lease and again on the Commencement Date, that no material
     change in the financial condition of Tenant, as reflected in the
     Statements, has occurred since the date Tenant delivered the Statements to
     Landlord. The Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be
     correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant's true financial
     condition as of the date of submission by any Statements to Landlord.

                       ARTICLE XIV.  DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          SECTION 14.1.  TENANT'S DEFAULTS.  In addition to any other event
     of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more
     of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

               (a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or
     additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the
     failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from
     Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in
     lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code
     of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of
     these default and remedies provisions, the term "additional rent" shall be
     deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent
     to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

               (b) Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the
     Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by
     judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means,
     without the prior written consent of Landlord (unless otherwise permitted
     by the terms of Section 9.4 of this Lease).

               (c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement
     provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant,
     was materially false.

               (d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any
     subordination agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in
     accordance with the requirements of Article XIII.

               (e) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any
     of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be
     observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other
     subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of
     thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such
     shorter period as is specified in any other provision of this Lease;
     provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in
     addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
     Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature of the failure
     is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
     cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences
     the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the
     cure to completion.

               (f) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the
     benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to
     have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to
     have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under
     any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed
     against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the
     appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially


                                      -27-


                                      -49-

<PAGE>

     all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
     this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30)
     days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
     substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's
     interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty
     (30) days; or (v) Tenant's convening of a meeting of its creditors for the
     purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts.
     Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in
     this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor
     shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant's
     insolvency. in the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary
     to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.

          SECTION 14.2.  LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

               (a) In the event of any default by Tenant, beyond any applicable
     cure period, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord,
     Landlord may exercise the following remedies:

                    (i) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of
     the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate
     and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to
     Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of
     Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to
     reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Landlord shall
     also be entitled to recover from Tenant:

                         (1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent
     and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

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

                         (3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by
     which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after
     the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could
     be reasonably avoided;

                         (4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord
     for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
     obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
     would be likely to result from Tenant's default, including, but not limited
     to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, refurbishment of the
     Premises, marketing costs, commissions and other reasonable expenses of
     reletting, including necessary repair, [See Rider Page 12-A] the
     unamortized portion of any tenant improvements and brokerage commissions



                                      -28-


                                      -50-

<PAGE>

     funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease, reasonable attorneys'
     fees, and any other reasonable costs; and

                         (5) At Landlord's election, all other amounts in
     addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The
     term "rent" as used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent
     and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
     the terms of this Lease. Any sum, other than Basic Rent, shall be computed
     on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four
     (24) month period immediately prior to default, except that if it becomes
     necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four (24) month period
     has occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average
     monthly amount during the shorter period. As used in subparagraphs (1) and
     (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing
     interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in
     subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed
     by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
     of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

                   (ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant's right to
     possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce
     all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
     collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain,
     preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect
     the Landlord's interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a
     termination of the Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. In the
     event that Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this
     subsection (ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an
     assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable
     standards for Landlord's consent as are contained in this Lease.

               (b) The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this
     Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by
     California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies
     at the same time.

               (c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or
     remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any
     default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i)
     waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of
     this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent
     accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding breach or
     default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord's
     right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach
     or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a
     trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or
     Tenant's estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No
     payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent
     required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment
     on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement



                                      -29-


                                      -51-

<PAGE>

     or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction
     and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to
     Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other
     remedy available to it. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's
     agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the
     Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall be valid unless in
     writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord's
     agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the
     termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any employee
     shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the
     Premises.

          SECTION 14.3.  LATE PAYMENTS.

               (a) Any rent due under this Lease that is not received by
     Landlord within ten 10 days of the date when due shall bear interest at the
     Bank of America prime lending rate plus three percent (3%) from the date
     due until fully paid. The payment of interest shall not cure, any default
     by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late
     payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs
     not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
     difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are
     not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late
     charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground Lease,
     mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due
     from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within
     ten (10) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
     addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in a sum equal to
     the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount overdue or Two Hundred Fifty
     Dollars ($250.00) for each delinquent payment. Acceptance of a late charge
     by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect
     to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of
     its other rights and remedies. [See Rider Page 13-A]

               (b) Following each second consecutive installment of rent that is
     not paid within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment from Landlord,
     Landlord shall have the option to require that Tenant increase the amount,
     if any, of the Security Deposit by one hundred percent (100%). Should
     Tenant deliver to Landlord, at any time during the Term, two (2) or more
     insufficient checks, the Landlord may require that all monies then and
     thereafter due from Tenant be paid to Landlord by cashier's check.

          SECTION 14.4. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and
     agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at
     Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right
     of set-off. Except as expressly provided in Sections 6.1 or 14.5 of this
     Lease. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent, or fails
     to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and
     the failure continues beyond any applicable grace period set forth in
     Section 14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord


                                      -30-


                                      -52-

     may, at its election make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant's
     part. Landlord's election to make the payment or perform the act on
     Tenant's part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to
     continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or
     similar acts. Tenant shall, promptly upon demand by Landlord, reimburse
     Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs,
     together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date
     of the payment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same rights and
     remedies if Tenant fails to pay those amounts as Landlord would have in the
     event of a default by Tenant in the payment of rent.

          SECTION 14.5.  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.  Landlord shall not be deemed
     to be in default in the performance of any obligation under this
     Lease, unless and until it has failed to perform the obligation within
     thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying
     in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided,
     however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more
     than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord
     shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences performance
     within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues
     the cure to completion.  [See Rider Page 13-A]

          SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. All sums reasonably incurred by
     Landlord in connection with any event of default by Tenant under this Lease
     or holding over of possession by Tenant after the expiration or earlier
     termination of this Lease, including without limitation all costs, expenses
     and actual accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other professional fees,
     and any collection agency or other collection charges, shall be due and
     payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand, and shall bear interest at the
     rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring
     any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be
     entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys' fees,
     and all other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this paragraph
     shall be determined by the trier of the facts.

          SECTION 14.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH
     ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS
     CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. AND EACH PARTY DOES
     HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL
     BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY
     HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
     EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS
     WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S
     USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.

          SECTION 14.8.  SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT.  The obligations of
     Landlord do not constitute the personal obligations of the individual
     partners, trustees, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or
     its constituent partners.  Should Tenant recover a money judgment
     against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the


                                      -31-


                                      -53-

<PAGE>



     proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levied
     thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Project
     and out of the rent or other income from such property receivable by
     Landlord or out of consideration received by Landlord from the sale or
     other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title or interest
     in the Project, and no action for any deficiency may be sought or obtained
     by Tenant. [See Rider Page 13-A]

          SECTION 14.9.  [Deleted]


                            ARTICLE XV.  END OF TERM

          SECTION 15.1. HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further
     notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant
     after the expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this
     Lease, or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in writing
     signed by both parties. If Tenant holds over for any period after the
     expiration (or earlier termination) of the Term without the prior written
     consent of Landlord, such possession shall constitute a tenancy at
     sufferance only; such holding over with the prior written consent of
     Landlord shall constitute a month-to-month tenancy commencing on the first
     (1st) day following the termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to
     surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to
     do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
     all loss or liability, including without limitations any claims made by any
     succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. Acceptance by
     Landlord of rent after the termination shall not constitute a consent to a
     holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of
     this Section are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of
     re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law.

          SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender
     of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease, shall
     terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option,
     elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to
     it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.

          SECTION 15.3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Upon the
     Expiration Date or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
     quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order,
     condition and repair as when received or as hereafter may be improved by
     Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are
     Landlord's obligation excepted, and shall, without expense to Landlord,
     remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all personal property and
     debris, except for any items that Landlord may by written authorization
     allow to remain. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting
     from the removal, which repair shall include the patching and fitting of
     holes and repair of structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead
     elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant's expense. If Tenant shall
     fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect


                                      -32-


                                      -54-

<PAGE>

     the removal and/or make any repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be
     additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If Tenant fails to remove
     Tenant's personal property from the Premises upon the expiration of the
     Term, Landlord may remove, store, dispose of and/or retain such personal
     property, at Landlord's option, in accordance with then applicable laws,
     all at the expense of Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall
     execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing
     releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of
     Tenant in the Premises.


                       ARTICLE XVI.  PAYMENTS AND NOTICES

          All sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid, without
     deduction or offset, except as expressly provided in Section 6.1 and 14.5
     of this Lease, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its
     address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at any other
     place as Landlord may designate in writing. Unless this Lease expressly
     provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of rent pursuant to
     Section 4.1, all payments due and payable within ten (10) days after
     demand. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of
     a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year. Any
     notice, election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be
     given or other document to be delivered by either party to the other may be
     delivered in person or by courier or overnight delivery service to the
     other party, or may be deposited in the United States mail, duty registered
     or certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed to
     the other party at the address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease
     Provisions, or if to Tenant, at that address or, from and after the
     Commencement Date, at the Premises (whether or not Tenant has departed
     from, abandoned or vacated the Premises), or may be delivered by telegram,
     telex or telecopy, provided that receipt thereof is telephonically
     confirmed. Either party may, by written notice to the other, served in the
     manner provided in this Article, designate a different address. If any
     notice or other document is sent by mail, it shall be deemed served or
     delivered twenty-four (24) hours after mailing. If more than one person or
     entity is named as Tenant under this Lease, service of any notice upon any
     one of them shall be deemed as service upon all of them.


                      ARTICLE XVII.  RULES AND REGULATIONS

          Tenant agrees to observe faithfully and comply strictly with the Rules
     and Regulations, attached as Exhibit E, and any reasonable and
     nondiscriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions as may be
     adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the
     safety, care, security, good order, or cleanliness of the Premises, and
     Project and Common Areas (if applicable). Landlord shall not be liable to
     Tenant for any violation of the Rules and Regulations or the breach of any
     covenant or condition in any lease by any other tenant of the Project,


                                      -33-


                                      -55-

<PAGE>

     if any, or such tenant's agents, employees, contractors, quests or
     invitees. One or more waivers by Landlord of any breach of the Rules and
     Regulations by Tenant or by any other tenant(s) shall not be a waiver of
     any subsequent breach of that rule or any other. Tenant's failure to keep
     and observe the Rules and Regulations shall constitute a default under this
     Lease. In the case of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and
     this Lease, this Lease shall be controlling.


                       ARTICLE XVIII.  BROKER'S COMMISSION

          The parties recognize as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the
     firm(s), if any, whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic
     Lease Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the
     payment of brokerage commissions to those broker(s) unless otherwise
     provided in this Lease. Tenant and Landlord each warrants to the other that
     it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or agent in
     connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and each agrees to indemnify
     and hold the other harmless from any cost, expense or liability (including
     reasonable attorneys' fees) for any compensation, commissions or charges
     claimed by any other real estate broker or agent employed or claiming to
     represent or to have been employed by the indemnifying party in connection
     with the negotiation of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive
     the termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to take possession of the
     Premises or if this Lease otherwise terminates prior to the Expiration Date
     as the result of failure of performance by Tenant, Landlord shall be
     entitled to recover from Tenant the unamortized portion of any brokerage
     commission funded by Landlord in addition to any other damages to which
     Landlord may be entitled.


                  ARTICLE XIX.  TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST

          In the event of any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Premises,
     the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all obligations on the
     part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the
     transfer, provided that any funds held by the transferor in which Tenant
     has an interest shall be turned over, subject to that interest, to the
     transferee and Tenant is notified of the transfer as required by law. It is
     intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the
     part of Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, be binding on Landlord,
     its successors and assigns, only during and in respect to their respective
     successive periods of ownership.


                           ARTICLE XX.  INTERPRETATION

          SECTION 20.1.  GENDER AND NUMBER.  Whenever the context of this
     Lease requires, the words "Landlord" and "Tenant" shall include the



                                      -34-


                                      -56-

<PAGE>

     plural as well as the singular, and words used in neuter, masculine or
     feminine genders shall include the others.

          SECTION 20.2.  HEADINGS.  The captions and headings of the
     articles and sections of this Lease are for convenience only, are not
     a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon its construction or
     interpretation.

          SECTION 20.3. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or
     entity is named as Tenant, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint
     and several and the act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the
     signature of, any one or more of them shall be binding on all of them with
     respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any
     renewal, extension, termination or modification of this Lease.

          SECTION 20.4. SUCCESSORS. Subject to Articles IX and XIX, all rights
     and liabilities given to or imposed upon Landlord and Tenant shall extend
     to and bind their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
     and assigns. Nothing contained in this Section is intended, or shall be
     construed, to grant to any person other than Landlord and Tenant and their
     successors and assigns any rights or remedies under this Lease.

          SECTION 20.5.  TIME OF ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence with
     respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease.

          SECTION 20.6.  CONTROLLING LAW.  This Lease shall be governed by
     and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
     California.

          SECTION 20.7. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Lease,
     the deletion of which would not adversely affect the receipt of any
     material benefit by either party or the deletion of which is consented to
     by the party adversely affected, shall be held invalid or unenforceable to
     any extent, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and each term
     and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
     extent permitted by law.

          SECTION 20.8. WAIVER AND CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. One or more waivers by
     Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition
     contained in this Lease shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
     the same or any other term, covenant or condition. Consent to any act by
     one of the parties shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining
     of that party's consent to any subsequent act. No breach by Tenant of this
     Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless the waiver is
     in a writing signed by Landlord. The rights and remedies of Landlord under
     this Lease shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights
     and remedies which Landlord may have.

          SECTION 20.9.  INABILITY TO PERFORM.  In the event that either
     party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the


                                      -35-


                                      -57-

<PAGE>

     performance of any work or in performing any act required under this Lease
     by reason of any cause beyond the reasonable control of that party, then
     the performance of the work or the doing of the act shall be excused for
     the period of the delay and the time for performance shall be extended for
     a period equivalent to the period of the delay. The provisions of this
     Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of rent
     or from the timely performance of any other obligation under this Lease
     within Tenant's reasonable control.

          SECTION 20.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and its exhibits and other
     attachments cover in full each and every agreement of every kind between
     the parties concerning the Premises, the Building, and the Project, and all
     preliminary negotiations, oral agreements, understandings and/or practices,
     except those contained in this Lease, are superseded and of no further
     effect. Tenant waives its rights to rely on any representations or promises
     made by Landlord or others which are not contained in this Lease. No verbal
     agreement or implied covenant shall be held to modify the provisions of
     this Lease, any statute, law, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

          SECTION 20.11. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon the observance and performance of
     all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and
     performed, and subject to the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall
     peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without
     hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person claiming by or
     through Landlord.

          SECTION 20.12. SURVIVAL. All covenants of Landlord or Tenant which
     reasonably would be intended to survive the expiration or sooner
     termination of this Lease, including without limitation any warranty or
     indemnity hereunder, shall so survive and continue to be binding upon and
     inure to the benefit of the respective parties and their successors and
     assigns.


                      ARTICLE XXI.  EXECUTION AND RECORDING

          SECTION 21.1.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Lease may be executed in one
     or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and
     all of which shall be one and the same agreement.

          SECTION 21.2. CORPORATE AND PARTNERSHIP AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a
     corporation or partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf
     of the corporation or partnership represents and warrants that he is duly
     authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation
     or partnership, and that this Lease is binding upon the corporation or
     partnership in accordance with its terms. Tenant shall, at Landlord's
     request, deliver a certified copy of its board of directors' resolution or
     partnership agreement or certificate authorizing or evidencing the
     execution of this Lease.

          SECTION 21.3.  EXECUTION OF LEASE; NO OPTION OR OFFER.  The
     submission of this Lease to Tenant shall be for examination purposes


                                      -36-


                                      -58-

<PAGE>

     only, and shall not constitute an offer to or option for Tenant to lease
     the Premises. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and its return to Landlord
     shall not be binding upon Landlord, notwithstanding any time interval,
     until Landlord has in fact executed and delivered this Lease to Tenant, it
     being intended that this Lease shall only become effective upon execution
     by Landlord and delivery of a fully executed counterpart to Tenant.

          SECTION 21.4.  RECORDING.  Tenant shall not record this Lease
     without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Tenant, upon the
     request of Landlord, shall execute and acknowledge a "short form"
     memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.  [See Rider
     Page 16-A]

          SECTION 21.5. AMENDMENTS. No amendment or termination of this Lease
     shall be effective unless in writing signed by authorized signatories of
     Tenant and Landlord, or by their respective successors in interest. No
     actions, policies, oral or informal arrangements, business dealings or
     other course of conduct by or between the parties shall be deemed to modify
     this Lease in any respect.

          SECTION 21.6. EXECUTED COPY.  Any fully executed photocopy or
     similar reproduction of this Lease shall be deemed an original for all
     purposes.

          SECTION 21.7. ATTACHMENTS.  All exhibits, amendments, riders and
     addenda attached to this Lease are hereby incorporated into and made a
     part of this Lease.


                          ARTICLE XXII.  MISCELLANEOUS

          SECTION 22.1. NONDISCLOSURE OF LEASE TERMS. Tenant acknowledges and
     agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute
     proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could
     adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and
     impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant
     agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees and
     attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and
     conditions of this Lease to any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant
     of the Project, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written
     consent of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant may disclose the terms
     to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease.

          SECTION 22.2.  [Deleted]

          SECTION 22.3.  [Deleted]

          SECTION 22.4.  MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.  No act or failure to act on
     the part of Landlord which would otherwise entitle Tenant to be
     relieved of its obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease shall
     result in such a release or termination unless (a) Tenant has given


                                      -37-


                                      -59-

<PAGE>

     notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of
     trust or mortgage covering the Premises whose address has been furnished to
     Tenant and (b) such beneficiary is afforded a reasonable opportunity to
     cure the default by Landlord (which in no event shall be less than sixty
     (60) days), including, if necessary to effect the cure, time to obtain
     possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure
     provided that such foreclosure remedy is diligently pursued. Tenant agrees
     that each beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgage covering the Premises
     is an express third party beneficiary hereof, and Tenant shall comply with
     any written directions by any beneficiary to pay rent due hereunder
     directly to such beneficiary without determining whether an event of
     default exists under such beneficiary's deed of trust. [See Rider Page
     16-A]

          SECTION 22.5. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All of the provisions of this
     Lease shall be construed to be conditions as well as covenants as though
     the words specifically expressing or imparting covenants and conditions
     were used in each separate provision.

          SECTION 22.6. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that
     Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or
     other security measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Project.
     Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its agents,
     invitees and property from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained
     shall prevent Landlord, at its sole option, from providing security
     protection for the Project or any part thereof, in which event the cost
     thereof shall be included within the definition of Building Costs.

          SECTION 22.7.  EXISTING LEASE.   [See Rider Page 16-A]

     "LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITIES. Landlord shall repair any defects in the
     construction, including both materials and workmanship, of the Building
     and/or the Common Areas, and shall warrant that the HVAC, electrical, water
     and plumbing systems are in good working order and condition, at Landlord's
     sole cost and expense and not as a Building Cost of the Project, for a
     period of three (3) years from and after the Commencement Date. Any
     construction guaranties and warranties with respect to the Building which
     extend beyond said three (3) year period, shall be assigned jointly to
     Tenant and Landlord, provided that Landlord shall make any such repairs as
     provided in Section 7.2 of the Lease. In addition to Landlord's
     responsibilities for construction defects as provided in this Section 2.4,
     Landlord shall also correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost and
     expense and not as a Building Cost of the Project: (i) the structural
     elements of the roof structure (but not the roof membranes whose
     replacement cost shall be treated as a Building Cost), and the exterior
     walls and foundations of the Building, except for those repairs or
     replacements resulting from the acts or negligence of Tenant, its agents,
     employees, invitees, subtenants or contractors, and (ii) any non-compliance
     of the Tenant Improvements, the Shell Improvements or the Project with all
     applicable laws and building codes in effect on or before the Commencement
     Date, including without limitation, the provisions of Title III of the
     Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"), provided that all other ADA
     compliance issues regarding the Premises, including without limitation,
     Tenant's construction of any alterations or other improvements in the
     Premises and in connection with the operation of Tenant's business and
     employment practices in the Premises, shall be the responsibility of Tenant
     at its sole cost and expense. The repairs, corrections or replacements
     required of Landlord under this Section 2.4 shall be made promptly
     following written notice from Tenant."

     2.   The following is added at the end of Section 3.2 of the Lease:

     "Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 3.2, if the
     Commencement Date has not occurred by that date which is one hundred twenty
     (120) days from and after the Estimated Commencement Date, then Tenant may,

     hereunder. Such termination shall be effective ten (10) days after the date
     of any such notice unless the Commencement Date shall occur within said ten
     (10) days. The foregoing one hundred twenty (120) day period shall,

     days in the aggregate) caused by a matter beyond the reasonable control of
     Landlord, including without limitation any unanticipated delay in obtaining
     governmental permits or approvals."

     3.   The following are added as Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the Lease:

     "3.3 COMMENCEMENT DATE. It is understood that the Office Building and the
     Warehouse Building may be constructed on different project schedules, which
     could result in one Building being completed prior to the other. In such
     event, upon Landlord's notice of tender of possession of the Premises
     within either the Office or the Warehouse Building, as required and
     pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(a) above, then Tenant shall
     commence leasing such space (the "Completed Premises") in accordance with
     the provisions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall pay Basic Rent only
     as to the Completed Premises on a per-square-foot basis. In addition,
     Tenant's monthly rent payable under the Existing Lease (as defined in
     Section 22.7 hereinbelow) shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of
     space Tenant vacates upon occupancy of the Completed Premises. It is
     further understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
     Section 3.3, the "Commencement Date" of this Lease, and the commencement of
     the one hundred twenty (120)-month Term, shall occur on the date when all
     relevant governmental authorities have approved the Tenant Improvements
     within both the Office Building and the Warehouse Building as more
     specifically provided in Section 3.1(a) above, or Tenant acquires
     possession or occupancy of both the Office Building and the Warehouse
     Building as more specifically provided in Section 3.1(b) above, whichever
     first occurs."

     3.4 RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Provided that Tenant is not in material
     default (after the expiration of any applicable cure periods) under any
     provision of this Lease, either at the time of exercise of the extension
     right granted herein or at the time of the commencement of such extension,
     and provided further that Tenant is occupying at least fifty percent (50%)
     of the entire Premises, then Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for
     one (1) period of sixty (60) months. Tenant shall exercise its right to
     extend the Term by and only by delivering to Landlord, not less than twelve
     (12) months or more than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration date
     of the Term, Tenant's irrevocable written notice of its commitment to
     extend (the "Commitment Notice"). The Basic Rent payable under the Lease
     during any extension of the Term shall be at the fair market rental,
     including subsequent adjustments, for comparable industrial/office space,
     provided that such rate shall in no event be less than the rate payable by
     Tenant during the final month of the initial Term. In the event that the
     parties are not able to agree on the fair market rental within one hundred
     twenty (120) days prior to the expiration date of the Term, then either

     party may elect, by written notice to the other party, to cause said
     rental, including subsequent adjustments, to be determined by appraisal as
     follows.

     Within ten (10) days following receipt of such appraisal election, the
     parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the fair market
     rental. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each party
     shall designate an appraiser within ten (10) days thereafter. Should either
     party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the
     appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the fair rental
     value. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, then the
     two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser within ten
     (10) days thereafter. If the appraisers are unable to so appoint such third
     appraiser, then either party may apply to JAMS/ENDISPUTE, Orange,
     California, or its successor ("JAMS") for the appointment of such
     appraiser. Any appraiser designated hereunder shall have an M.A.I.
     certification with not less than five (5) years experience in the valuation
     of commercial industrial buildings in Orange County, California.

     Within thirty (30) days following the selection of the third appraiser,
     each of the appraisers shall determine the fair market rental value,
     including subsequent adjustments, of the Premises. In determining such
     value, the appraisers shall first consider rental comparables for similarly
     improved space in the Irvine Spectrum area with appropriate adjustments for
     differences in location, quality and other relevant factors. If adequate
     comparables do not exist in the Irvine Spectrum area, then the appraisers
     may consider rental comparables from other market areas in Orange County,
     California. The appraisers may consider such factors as tenant improvement
     allowances and "free rent" in determining the comparables, provided such
     factors are comparable with existing conditions at the Premises. In no
     event, however, shall the appraiser attribute factors for brokerage
     commissions to reduce said fair market rental. The fair market value of the
     Premises shall be the arithmetic mean of the two (2) appraisals so
     determined which are closest in value. Each party shall bear the cost of
     its own appointed appraiser, and the fees of the third appraiser shall be
     shared equally by both parties.

     Within twenty (20) days after the determination of the fair market rental,
     Landlord shall prepare a reasonably appropriate amendment to this Lease for
     the extension period and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord
     within ten (10) days. Should the fair market rental not be established by
     the commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying
     rent at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a
     lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such
     new rental.

     If Tenant fails to timely comply with any of the provisions of this
     paragraph, Tenant's right to extend the Term shall be extinguished and the
     Lease shall automatically terminate as of the expiration date of

     the Term, without any extension and without any liability to Landlord.
     Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single sixty
     (60) month extension created by this paragraph. Unless agreed to in a
     writing signed by Landlord and Tenant, any extension of the Term, whether
     created by an amendment to this Lease or by a holdover of the Premises by
     Tenant, or otherwise, shall be deemed a part of, and not in addition to,
     any duly exercised extension period permitted by this paragraph.

     Tenant's rights under this paragraph 3.4 may be assigned only in connection
     with (i) an assignment of all of Tenant's rights under this Lease as part
     of a "Permitted Transfer" as defined in Section 9.4 of the Lease, or (ii)
     an assignment of all of Tenant's rights under this Lease to an assignee
     approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Lease. Except
     as provided in the preceding sentence, Tenant's rights under this Section
     3.4 are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned to or exercised by any
     other party (including any sublessee), and any such attempt to so assign
     such rights shall be void from its inception.

     1.   The following is added at the end of Section 4.2(b) of the Lease:

     "Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Section 4.2, Landlord
     hereby agrees that the amount of Operating Costs payable by Tenant
     hereunder shall not exceed Twelve Cents ($.12) per square foot per month
     during the Expense Recovery Period ended June 30, 1998; provided, however,
     that the foregoing increase limitation shall exclude any increase in
     Property Taxes during such period to the extent attributable to (i) any
     increases to the costs of constructing the Tenant and Shell Improvements
     (as defined in the Work Letter) that cause the total cost of constructing
     such Improvements to exceed $6,988,680.00 in the aggregate and that are
     caused by changes requested by Tenant (including, without limitation, the
     cost of the ESFR sprinkler system, and the dock levelers and dock bumpers
     set forth in the Work Letter) or by any governmental agency to the approved
     Site Plan and Elevations, the Preliminary Plans and/or Preliminary Shell
     Plans, or the TI Working Drawings or Shell Working Drawings (as those terms
     are defined in the Work Letter), or (ii) an increase (excluding Special
     Assessments) in the existing basic tax rate. Thereafter, for each
     succeeding Expense Recovery Period during the initial Term of this Lease,
     the amount of Building Costs payable by Tenant (exclusive of Property
     Taxes, insurance costs, amortized capital costs includable in Building
     Costs pursuant to Section 4.2(f)(v) below, unanticipated repair costs and
     the costs of painting and re-slurrying the parking areas) shall not
     increase by more than (i) six percent (6%) per Expense Recovery Period on a
     compound but non-cumulative basis, or (ii) the percentage increase of the
     "CPI Index" (the Consumer Price Index of Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
     Workers, Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Average, All Items (1982-1984 = 100)
     for each Expense Recovery Period on a compound but non-cumulative basis,
     whichever is greater, over Five Cents ($.05) per square foot of the
     Premises for the Expense Recovery Period ended June 30, 1998."

     2.   The following is added at the end of Section 4.2(c) of the Lease:

     "Provided Tenant is not then in material default after the expiration of
     any applicable cure periods, Tenant shall have the right to cause a
     licensed accountant to audit Landlord's Operating Expenses. In no event,
     however, shall such accountant be compensated by Tenant on a "contingency"
     basis, or on any other basis tied to the results of said audit. Tenant
     shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant's intent to audit within one
     hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of Landlord's initial expense
     statement and within ninety (90) days after delivery of Landlord's expense
     statement for each of the succeeding Expense Recovery Periods. Such audit
     shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal business
     hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where the records
     are maintained. If Tenant's audit determines that actual Operating

     to Landlord's right to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord
     shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such
     audit. Tenant's rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
     overstatement in Operating Expenses. In the event of a dispute between
     Landlord and Tenant regarding the results of such audit, either party may
     elect to submit the matter for binding arbitration with JAMS/ENDISPUTE, or
     its successor, in Orange County, California.

     All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in connection
     with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment
     reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in
     strict confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation and
     except for inadvertent disclosures despite Tenant's reasonable efforts to
     keep the disclosed information confidential, shall not be disclosed to any
     third party, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or its auditor or any of
     their officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant's auditor
     to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as
     a condition precedent to any audit."

     the name "Mossimo" (except as herein provided). The type, location and

     foregoing, no sign, advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of
     the Premises shall be inscribed, painted or affixed by Tenant on any part
     of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord. Tenant's signage
     right shall belong solely to Mossimo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and may
     not be transferred or assigned without Landlord's prior written consent,

     because an essential utility service to the Premises is interrupted as the
     result of the acts or negligence of Landlord, its authorized agents,
     employees or contractors, then Tenant's Basic Rent shall abate commencing
     on the third (3rd) business day following Tenant's notice to Landlord until
     such service is restored to the Premises. Landlord shall use its diligence
     to promptly restore such interrupted service to the Premises."

     "Section 10.2. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord shall provide the following
     types of insurance, with or without deductibles and in amounts and
     coverages as may be determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute
     discretion (but subject to the requirements and limitations set forth
     herein): "all risk" property insurance for the full replacement of the cost
     of the Building, subject to standard exclusions, including the Tenant
     Improvements or other leasehold improvements made by Landlord, and
     commercial general liability insurance with a minimum liability limit of
     Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (which commercial general liability
     policy shall name Tenant as an additional insured). Landlord in its sole
     and absolute discretion may obtain property insurance covering such other
     risks as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to time deem appropriate
     (provided that Landlord shall not elect to obtain earthquake insurance, and
     consider the cost therefor as a Building Cost of the Project, unless such
     coverage is obtained for all or substantially all of Landlord's industrial
     lease portfolio). Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any
     kind on Tenant's property, including leasehold improvements constructed by
     Tenant, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, plate glass, signs and all
     other items of personal property, and shall not be obligated to repair or
     replace that property should damage occur. All proceeds of insurance
     maintained by Landlord upon the Building and the Project shall be the
     property of Landlord, whether or not Landlord is obligated to or elects to
     make any repairs. At Landlord's option, Landlord may self-insure all or any
     portion of the risk for which Landlord elects or shall be obligated to
     provide insurance coverage hereunder, including, without limitation, by the
     creation of a self-insurance retention fund, a reasonable portion of the
     cost of which fund shall be allocated as a Building Cost instead and in
     lieu of Tenant's obligation for payment of deductibles hereunder. In the
     event The Irvine Company, or any entity that directly or indirectly
     controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with The Irvine
     Company, or any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of The
     Irvine Company or any of the foregoing entities, or a purchaser of all or
     substantially all of The Irvine Company's assets, is no longer the Landlord
     under this Lease, then such new Landlord shall have at all times during
     such period of self-insurance a net worth (determined in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) of at least
     Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00)."

     currently parties to a lease dated June 24, 1991 for space in a building
     located at 15320 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, California (the "Barranca
     Premises"), which lease was amended by that certain First Amendment to
     Lease dated May 27, 1994 and by that certain Second Amendment to Lease of
     even date with this Lease (as amended, the "Existing Lease"). Landlord and
     Tenant agree that the rights and obligations of the parties under the
     Existing Lease shall terminate in their entirety, effective as of midnight
     on the day preceding the Commencement Date of this Lease (as such date is
     determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b) of the Lease), provided that
     such termination shall not relieve Tenant of (a) any accrued obligation or
     liability under the Existing Lease as of said termination date, or (b) any
     obligation under the Existing Lease which was reasonably intended to
     survive the expiration or termination thereof. Tenant understands and
     agrees that it shall completely vacate the Barranca Premises by midnight on
     the day preceding the Commencement Date of this Lease and shall remove all
     property therefrom in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.1 of the
     Lease. It is understood that the term of the Existing Lease is scheduled to
     expire on September 30, 1997 and, during the period commencing October 1,
     1997 and ending upon the Commencement Date of this Lease, Tenant shall be
     occupying the Barranca Premises on a holdover basis in accordance with
     Section 19.2 of the Existing Lease, but Landlord shall waive Tenant's
     monthly holdover premium charges (i.e., the excess rental payable over the
     rate in effect during the final month of the scheduled term of the Existing
     Lease) as set forth in said Section 19.2. It is further understood that in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 hereinabove, the Office and
     Warehouse Buildings may be completed and ready for Tenant's occupancy at
     different times. In this regard, notwithstanding any contrary provision in
     this Section 22.7, Tenant shall be permitted to vacate the Barranca
     Premises in stages as necessary to take occupancy of the Completed Premises
     (as defined in Section 3.3), and, in such event, Landlord shall adjust the

     Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the above, if this Lease is terminated for any
     reason (other than Tenant's default) prior to Tenant's taking occupancy of
     the Premises, Tenant's right to holdover in the Barranca Premises without
     any rent premium or other penalty shall continue for a period of six (6)
     months following such termination."
