Mr. Ronald Meredith
Property Manager
Jack Dymond Associates
450 First St.
Los Altos, CA 94022

     RE:  Lease ("Lease") by and between Jack Dymond Associates ("Lessor") and
          Catalytica, Inc. ("Catalytica") for Premises located at 430 Ferguson
          Drive, Mountain View, CA ("Premises")

 Dear Ron:

     Catalytica is requesting to assign the existing Lease to its subsidiary,
Catalytica Combustion Systems, Inc. ("CCSI"), under the terms of the Assignment
Agreement attached to this letter. The assignment is occurring as part of a
transaction in which Catalytica may spin-off CCSI as a new entirely separate
public company (the assignment and potential spin-off collectively called the
"Assignment"). The use of the Premises by CCSI will remain unchanged after the
Assignment, and, as required by the Lease, Catalytica will continue to remain
secondarily liable for the obligations of "Lessee" under the Lease after the
Assignment.

     Under Article 14 of the Lease, the consent to the Assignment may require
Lessor's consent. I am requesting by this letter that you review the attached
Assignment Agreement, agree that this notice is sufficient to satisfy all of the
requirements of Article 14 of the Lease regarding the Assignment, and consent to
the Assignment as proposed in this letter and the attached Assignment Agreement
by signing the acknowledgement below.

     Thank you very much for your cooperation. If you have any questions
regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me.

                              Sincerely,

                              /s/ Bill Kerba

                              Bill Kerba
                              Facilities Director & E.H.&S.

Jack Dymond Associates hereby consents to the assignment of the Lease as set
forth above:

                                   --------

     A.   Jack Dymond Associates, a California general partnership ("Master

     C.   The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that, as of the date of this

                                  AGREEMENT:
                                  ---------

     1.   Occupancy Premises: Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
          ------------------
herein, CESI subleases and demises to Catalytica, and Catalytica hires and
subleases from CESI, the Final Occupancy Premises consisting of 10,910 square
feet of laboratory space ("Lab Space") and 10,310 square feet of office space
("Office Space") shown on Exhibit B. Catalytica shall also be permitted to use
                          ---------
the parking areas associated with the Final Occupancy Premises on a non-
exclusive basis. Catalytica acknowledges that on the Commencement Date (defined
below), it shall occupy only a portion of the Final Occupancy Premises as
identified on Exhibit C (the "Initial Occupancy Premises"). From and including
              ---------
the Commencement Date to and excluding the date upon which CESI provides to
Catalytica the Remainder Space (as defined below), references to the Final
Occupancy Premises shall mean only the Initial Occupancy Premises for

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

purposes of this Agreement, including the calculation of Base Rent (as defined
in paragraph 6). CESI will provide to Catalytica the remainder of the Final
Occupancy Premises (the "Remainder Space") within six (6) months following the
Commencement Date. The parties acknowledge that CESI will use its reasonable
best efforts to deliver portions of the Remainder Space to Catalytica as rapidly
as reasonably practicable. Upon delivery of any of the Remainder Space by CESI
to Catalytica, such space shall be deemed a portion of the Final Occupancy
Premises for the purposes of this Agreement, including the calculation of Base
Rent (as defined in paragraph 6).

     2.   Use: The Final Occupancy Premises shall be used for the uses permitted
          ---
by applicable law and by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Lease and for no other
purpose without Master Lessor's and CESI's prior written consent. CESI and
Catalytica expressly acknowledge that any use as a biological laboratory is
expressly subject to Catalytica obtaining all required permits and licenses
relative to the activities Catalytica proposes to conduct on the Demised
Premises.

     3.   Term: The initial term ("Term") of this Agreement shall commence on
          ----
December 15, 2000 ("Commencement Date"), and shall terminate on the earliest to
occur of: (a) December 31, 2003, (b) the date this Agreement is sooner
terminated pursuant to its terms, or (c) the date the Master Lease is sooner
terminated pursuant to its terms. This Agreement may be extended beyond the
Term, for such period as the parties shall agree, in accordance with Section 15
of this Agreement.

     4.   Condition of Premises: CESI makes no representations or warranties of
          ---------------------
any kind or nature, express or implied, with respect to the condition or fitness
for use of the Final Occupancy Premises and, except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, Catalytica accepts the Final Occupancy Premises "as
is"; provided that CESI equipment, if any, will be removed from the Final
Occupancy Premises prior to delivery of the Remainder Space (pursuant to
Paragraph 1) in an orderly manner without damage to such Final Occupancy
Premises.

     5.   Separation and Delivery of Premises: Catalytica acknowledges that the
          -----------------------------------
Final Occupancy Premises are not separated by a demising wall from the remainder
of the building of which the Final Occupancy Premises forms a part, and
equipment and other improvements will have to be moved in order to accommodate
Catalytica in the Final Occupancy Premises. Catalytica and CESI agree that CESI
shall perform the improvements and that the parties shall in good faith
determine the appropriate method for moving equipment in accordance with a plan
mutually agreed to by CESI and Catalytica. Such improvements shall be subject to
the consent of Master Lessor and CESI on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement (and the Master Lease as incorporated into this Agreement). CESI
shall pay for the removal and relocation of CESI equipment from the Final
Occupancy Premises to another location. Catalytica shall pay all costs
associated with the demolition of improvements in, and restoration or other
improvement of the Final Occupancy Premises (including, for example, the
demolition of the analytical lab space in the Final Occupancy Premises, and any
removal or relocation of fume hoods in the Final Occupancy Premises) in
accordance with the terms and conditions for installation of Alterations as set
forth in Section 8 hereof. Except as otherwise set forth in the previous
sentence, the parties each party shall bear its own costs associated with the
moving of equipment and of related activities.

pay to CESI as base monthly rent ("Base Rent") $2.90 per square foot for the
Office Space (at a rate of $.88 per square foot for monthly rent under the
Master Lease (the "Monthly Rent Amount") and $2.02 per square foot for costs for
Included Services as defined in Paragraph 6(c) below) and $6.50 per square foot
for the Lab Space (at a rate of $.88 per square foot for monthly rent under the
Master Lease and $5.62 per square foot for costs for Included Services as
defined in Paragraph 6(c) below), for a total monthly Base Rent upon delivery by
CESI of full occupancy of the Final Occupancy Premises of ($100,292.00). The
parties acknowledge pursuant to Paragraph 1 above that until full occupancy of
Final Occupancy Premises is delivered, Catalytica shall only pay Base Rent on
those portions of the Final Occupancy Premises delivered by CESI for occupancy
by Catalytica. The details associated with the calculation of the foregoing
amounts, including the categories for particular charges paid by CESI, are
attached hereto as Exhibit E, which is incorporated herein by reference. On the
                   ---------
first anniversary of the Term, CESI shall have the right to increase the
portions of the Base Rent representing the Included Services by up to ten
percent (10%) based on the increase in the cost to CESI of such Included
Services during the first year of the Term, as reasonably determined by CESI. On
the second anniversary of the Term, CESI shall have the right to increase the
portions of the Base Rent representing the Included Services by up to ten
percent (10%) over those costs charged during the second year of the Term based
on CESI's reasonable determination of the increase in the cost to CESI of such
Included Services during the second year of the Term. Catalytica shall have the
right to receive reasonable substantiation of such increased costs under this
Section 6(a) and Section 6(c).

     Base Rent and Additional Rent (as defined in subparagraph 6(b) hereof),
except as otherwise set forth in subparagraph 6(b) hereof, shall be paid to CESI
on or before the first (1st) day of each month during the Term. Base Rent and
Additional Rent (as defined in subsection (c) below) (collectively, "Rent") for
any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one month of the Term
shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment based on the actual
number of days in such month and on the actual portion of the Final Occupancy
Premises actually delivered for each such day. Rent shall be payable without
notice or demand and without any deduction, offset, or abatement except as
expressly set forth herein, in lawful money of the United States of America.
Rent shall be paid directly to CESI at 430 Ferguson Drive, Mountain View,
California 94043, Attention: Accounts Receivable, or such other address as may
be designated in writing by CESI. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
applicable anniversary of the Term, CESI shall advise Catalytica in writing of
CESI's determination of the change in the Included Services (as defined in
Paragraph 6(c)) and the Base Rent. Unless Catalytica advises CESI within twenty
(20) days of Catalytica's receipt of such notice that Catalytica desires an
audit of such calculation, such determination shall be final. If Catalytica
requests an audit, the parties shall cooperate and shall expedite the completion
of such audit and shall in good faith reach agreement on the new Base Rent.
Until agreement is reached, Catalytica shall pay the new Base Rent determined by
CESI; after the mutually acceptable Base Rent is determined, the parties shall
make a retroactive adjustment, to account for the difference in the amount paid
by Catalytica and the amount of the new Base Rent.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          (b)  Additional Rent. All monies other than Base Rent required to be
               ---------------
paid by Catalytica under this Agreement with respect to the Final Occupancy
Premises shall be deemed additional rent ("Additional Rent"). Catalytica shall
pay such amounts of Additional Rent to CESI no later than ten (10) business days
after written demand therefor by CESI.

          (c)  Services. CESI agrees to provide and to include the costs of the
               --------
following services as part of the Base Rent ("Included Services"), in the same
amount, type and quality as were provided to the Final Occupancy Premises prior
to the Commencement Date: (i) electricity, gas, sewer, janitorial and garbage
services; (ii) office supplies; (iii) photocopiers; (iv) hazardous waste
management services (excluding disposal costs which will be billed directly to
Catalytica); (v) shipping and receiving services; (vi) security (including
security badge issuance) and fire systems; (vii) repair and maintenance of the
Final Occupancy Premises (excluding, however, Catalytica's personal property in
the Final Occupancy Premises, the heating and cooling units used for
Catalytica's laboratory equipment located on the pad outside the building, and
any damage to the Final Occupancy Premises caused by Catalytica other than
ordinary wear and tear); "real property taxes" and payments to Master Lessor to
reimburse Master Lessor for Master Lessor's insurance obligations under the
Master Lease; (viii) telephone services (provided, however, CESI shall have the
right to charge Catalytica the costs for use of any T-l lines between the Final
Occupancy Premises and any other location); and (ix) reception services. CESI
shall not be obligated to provide the Included Services in an amount or type not
summarized on Exhibit E hereof. The parties acknowledge that the precise level
              ---------
of services to Catalytica hereunder will not be capable of final resolution
until Catalytica has fully occupied the Final Occupancy Premises. The level of
services shall reflect the allocations made pursuant to Exhibit E. CESI shall
                                                        ---------
have the right to charge Catalytica separately for any services provided in
excess of the amounts allocated for each of such items as reflected in Exhibit E
                                                                       ---------
or the applicable revision thereof. The parties agree to evaluate from time to
time the levels of services provided to Catalytica and to adjust the charges for
Individual Services, and thus Base Rent, accordingly, notwithstanding section
6(a) or any other part of this section 6 (c).

     7.   CESI Obligations:
          ----------------

          (a)  CESI is receiving payments from Catalytica that CESI will in turn
pay to third parties, including the Master Lessor. CESI agrees to pay Master
Lessor and applicable third parties for the services covered by this Agreement
for which payments are made hereunder by Catalytica.

          (b)  Catalytica shall be entitled to receive all services and repairs
to be provided by Master Lessor under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Master Lessor shall fail or refuse to perform the repairs and to
provide the services required by the Master Lease with respect to the Final
Occupancy Premises, Catalytica agrees to look solely to Master Lessor for its
remedies. CESI shall have no obligation or liability to Catalytica in respect of
any default by CESI under this Agreement which results from or corresponds to
any default by Master Lessor under the Master Lease (but CESI shall exercise
such efforts to cause Master Lessor to cure such default as CESI would exercise
on its own behalf with respect to space occupied by CESI, provided that CESI
                                                          --------
shall not be required to incur any unreimbursed expenses or perform any legal
services for which it is not appropriately compensated.)

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          (c)  CESI represents that with respect to the period of time between
the date it was assigned the Master Lease and the date of this Agreement: (i) to
the best of CESI's knowledge, CESI is not in default with respect to any
obligation of CESI (as tenant) under the Master Lease, (ii) the Master Lease is
in full force and effect, and no notices of default under the Master Lease have
been sent or received by CESI, and (iii) the Master Lease has not been amended
or modified other than pursuant to the First Addendum and the Second Addendum.

     8.   Surrender and Alterations: Catalytica shall not be permitted to make
          -------------------------
any leasehold improvements ("Alterations") to the Final Occupancy Premises
without the advance written consent of Master Lessor (pursuant to the terms of
the Master Lease) and CESI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, that, at Catalytica's option and upon Catalytica's request, CESI shall
perform the Alterations for Catalytica at Catalytica's cost and expense plus an
additional ten percent (10%) administrative charge. Catalytica shall provide
CESI notice of its desire to install Alterations, and the parties shall
cooperate and use reasonable commercial efforts to complete the Alterations as
soon as reasonably practicable. CESI's consent to an Alteration shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and as a condition to giving such consent, CESI
may require that such Alteration be removed at the end of the Agreement Term;
provided, however, that a failure to condition the performance of an Alteration
--------  -------
on a requirement that it be removed at the end of the Term shall not preclude
CESI from requiring such removal at the end of the Term, as may be extended,
unless CESI agrees in writing not to require such removal. If Master Lessor or
CESI does not consent to the surrender of such Alterations at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, then prior to expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement, Catalytica shall remove from the Final Occupancy Premises, at
Catalytica's sole cost and expense, such Alterations, along with all of its
trade fixtures and personal property, and shall surrender the Final Occupancy
Premises to CESI in good condition and repair, free of Hazardous Materials
(defined below) brought on to the Final Occupancy Premises by Catalytica, its
agents, employees, subtenants or invitees or otherwise resulting from Catalytica
Contamination (defined below), reasonable wear and tear, casualties and
condemnation, excepted. In addition, Catalytica shall be required (if required
by the Master Lessor) to remove, at its sole cost and expense, those
improvements identified on Exhibit D. If the Final Occupancy Premises are not
                           ---------
surrendered in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 8, then Catalytica
shall be liable to CESI for all reasonable costs incurred by CESI (including any
charges by Master Lessor under the Master Lease) in returning the Final
Occupancy Premises to such required condition, plus interest thereon at the
lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate allowable by law for
the period between surrender and payment.

         9. Holdover: If Catalytica remains in possession of the Final Occupancy
            --------
Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
Catalytica's continued possession shall be a month to month tenancy. CESI and
Catalytica shall continue to comply with and perform all the terms and
obligations of this Agreement. Unless CESI consents in writing to such holdover,
Catalytica shall pay Base Rent equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of
all Base Rent payable at the rate in effect immediately preceding the
termination of this Agreement and shall also pay all Additional Rent. Catalytica
shall also indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless CESI, its officers,
directors, employees, agents and assigns, from and against all loss and
liability to CESI (and each of them) resulting from Catalytica's holding over.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Catalytica shall have no obligation to CESI if
the holding over by Catalytica is a direct result of a breach by CESI of this
Agreement, or the Master Lease, and in such event CESI shall hold Catalytica
harmless from all costs and expenses associated with CESI's breach.

          (a)  Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Catalytica pays all of the Base Rent
               ---------------
and Additional Rent due hereunder and performs all of Catalytica's other
obligations hereunder, CESI shall do nothing to impair Catalytica's right to
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Occupancy Premises. CESI warrants
that CESI has not entered into any agreements since the Master Lease was
assigned to CESI giving any other person or entity the right to lease the Final
Occupancy Premises.

     10.  Other Agreement Terms:
          ---------------------

          (a)  Incorporation By Reference. Except as inapplicable to, otherwise
               --------------------------

liabilities of Master Lessor with respect to compliance with laws or condition
of the Final Occupancy Premises, and (c) Master Lessor's repair, maintenance,
restoration, upkeep, insurance and similar obligations under the Master Lease,
regardless of whether the incorporation of one or more provisions of the Master
Lease into the Agreement might otherwise operate to make CESI liable therefor;
(vii) with respect to any approval or consent required to be obtained from the
"Lessor" under the Master Lease, Catalytica shall be required to obtain such
approval or consent from Master Lessor and CESI, and the approval or consent of
CESI may be withheld if Master Lessor's approval or consent is not obtained,
provided, however, CESI's consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if
--------  -------
Master Lessor provides its consent; and (viii) the following provisions of the
Master Lease are expressly not incorporated herein by reference: Sections 1.0l,

the Second Addendum.

          (b)  Assumption of Obligations. This Agreement is and at all times
               -------------------------
shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and the rights of Master
Lessor thereunder. CESI shall not commit or permit any of its employees or
agents to commit on the Final Occupancy

                                      -6-

Premises any act or omission which shall violate any term or condition of the
Master Lease. Catalytica hereby expressly assumes and agrees during the Term of
this Agreement to comply with all provisions of the Master Lease which are
required to be performed by Catalytica hereunder. In the event of termination of
CESI's interest as "Tenant" under the Master Lease for any reason, this
Agreement shall terminate simultaneously with such termination of CESI's
interest.

given to Master Lessor under the Master Lease shall be considered received only
when delivered in accordance with the Master Lease. CESI agrees to promptly
provide Catalytica copies of all notices received from, or provided by CESI to,
Master Lessor affecting the Occupancy Premises and Catalytica's occupancy
thereof.

     12.  Hazardous Materials:
          -------------------

Catalytica shall advise CESI of any Hazardous Materials used or proposed for use
in, on, under or about the Final Occupancy Premises. Immediately following the
commencement of this Agreement, Catalytica shall make available at such time as

hold the other party, the other party's Agents and Master Lessor harmless from
and against any Claims which may be brought against the other party, the other
party's Agents or Master Lessor or which the other party, the other party's

Base Rent pursuant to this Agreement, at no additional cost to Catalytica,
Catalytica shall have the right, throughout the Term, to use the furniture and

                                LEASE AGREEMENT

          THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, effective as of January 1, 1993, by and between
JACK DYMOND ASSOCIATES, a California general partnership ("Lessor") and
CATALYTICA, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lessee"), is made with reference to
the following facts:

          A.   Lessor is the owner of certain industrial property located at 430
Ferguson Drive, in the City of Mountain View, County of Santa Clara, State of
California (the "Industrial Center").

          B.   Lessor and Lessee have previously entered into a written Lease
Agreement dated December 19, 1989 (the "Original Lease") covering a portion of
the Industrial Center, and Lessee has been and still is occupying such premises
pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Original Lease.

          C.   The parties desire to execute a new lease agreement having the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, such agreement to supersede and
replace the Original Lease.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.            DEMISED PREMISES AND COMMON AREAS


1.01      Lessor does hereby lease to Lessee, and Lessee does hereby rent from
Lessor, that portion of the Industrial Center comprising a total of 68,000
square feet, as shown on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a
part hereof (the "Demised Premises"), consisting of the following areas:

          18,000 square feet in Building Number 2;


          35,000 square feet in Building Number 3; and


          15,000 square feet out of the 38,600 square feet in Building Number 4.


1.02      Lessee shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Area of
the Industrial Center, subject to any reasonable rules and regulations
concerning such use as may be adopted from time to time by Lessor. The term
"Common Areas" shall mean those areas within the Industrial Center provided and
designated by Lessor for the general non-exclusive use by the occupants of the
Industrial Center and their respective employees, customers and invitees,
including parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways,
sidewalk, walkways, driveways, and landscaped areas. Lessor reserves the right
of exclusive control and management of the Common Areas, including the right, in
Lessor's sole discretion:

     (a)  To make alterations or construct additional improvements within the
          Common Areas;

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

     (b)  To temporarily close any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes,
          so long as reasonable access to the Demised Premises remains
          available; and

     (c)  To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional
          improvements, repairs or alterations to the Industrial Center, or any
          portion thereof.


ARTICLE 2.            TERM


2.01      The initial term of this Lease shall be a period of six (6) years,
commencing as of January 1, 1993, and ending on December 31, 1998, unless sooner
terminated as provided herein.

2.03      Provided that Lessee is not then in default in the performance of any
of Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee shall have the option to extend the
term for an additional period of five (5) years. Such option can only be
exercised by Lessee giving written notice thereof to Lessor at least one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to expiration of the initial term of the lease.


ARTICLE 3.            RENT


3.01      Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Demised Premises, in lawful
money of the United States, payable in advance on or before the first day of
each calendar month without any deduction, offset or demand, the sum of Fifty-
Five Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Dollars ($55,760.00), representing a rental
rate of $0.82 per square foot.

3.02      In the event Lessee exercises the option to extend the lease term as
provided in Section 2.03, the rent payable during the extended term shall be the
fair market rental value of the Demised Premises, as mutually agreed upon by
Lessor and Lessee. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the fair
market rental value within 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial term
of the lease, each party shall appoint an appraiser, who shall be a licensed
real estate broker or licensed appraiser familiar with industrial rental
property in the City of Mountain View. If such appraisers are unable to agree
upon the rental value within 60 days prior to the expiration of the initial term
of the lease, they shall jointly appoint a third appraiser and the decision of
any two of the three appraisers shall be binding upon the parties. Such
decision shall be rendered not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the
initial term of the lease. Each party shall pay the cost of the appraiser such
party appoints, and the cost of the third appraiser, if needed, shall be divided
equally between the parties.

ARTICLE 5.            USE


5.01      The Demised Premises shall be used and occupied by Lessee solely for
offices, chemical and biological laboratories and pilot plants, combustion
laboratories, light manufacturing and other related activities, and for no other
or additional purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

5.02      Lessee shall not use the Demised Premises or permit anything to be
done in or about the Demised Premises which is prohibited by or will in any way
conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now
in force or which may hereafter be in force, or which is prohibited by the
standard form of fire insurance policy, or will in any way increase the existing
rate of any fire or other insurance covering the Industrial Center or any of its
contents, or cause any change or cancellation of such insurance. The judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action
against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has
violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or
requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Demised
Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other
tenants in the Industrial Center, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the
Demised Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about
the Demised Premises or commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or
about the Demised Premises.

5.03      Lessee shall, at its sole expense, secure and maintain in full force
and effect any and all licenses, permits, authorizations, and other approvals
required by any governmental agency for activities conducted and materials
stored or used by Lessee at the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to,
all licenses, permits and approvals relating to the storage and use of hazardous
or toxic materials, and Lessee shall at all times comply with the conditions and
requirements that may be contained in or imposed by any such licenses, permits
or approvals.


ARTICLE 6.            LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

6.01      Lessor agrees to construct two unenclosed overhangs, approximately 35
feet in length, between Buildings 2 and 3, as generally shown on the drawing
attached hereto as Exhibit "A." Such improvements shall be constructed at the
sole expense of Lessor, provided such expense does not exceed the sum of Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00). The design of the improvements shall be mutually
agreed upon by the parties and work thereon shall be completed by Lessor within
80 days following design approval.

6.03       Except as expressly provided herein, Lessor shall have no obligation
to make any alterations or improvements to the Demised Premises for the benefit
of Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor anyone acting on Lessor's
behalf has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability or fitness
of the Demised Premises for the continued conduct of Lessee's business or for
any other purpose.

ARTICLE 7.            UTILITIES AND SERVICES

7.01      Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, the cost of all utility and
other services furnished to the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to,
electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone, janitorial and garbage collection
service. Whenever possible, Lessee shall establish a separate account with the
utility or service provided so that all charges for

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

service are billed directly to Lessee. However, in the event any of such charges
are billed to Lessor, Lessor shall submit a statement showing the amount thereof
payable by Lessee and Lessee shall pay such amount to Lessor within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the statement.

7.02      Lessor shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages
directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the rent provided herein be
abated by reason of Lessor's failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any
utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by accident,
breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor dispute, or by limitation,
curtailment, rationing or restrictions on use of electricity, gas, water or
other utility, or any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable
control of Lessor.


ARTICLE 8.            INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

8.01      Lessee hereby waives any and all claims against Lessor for damage to
any property or injury to or death of any person in, upon or about the Demised
Premises, arising at any time and from any cause other than by reason of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Lessee further expressly indemnities
and holds Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes
of action, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorney's fees, occasioned
by or in any way connected with the use or misuse of the Demised Premises by
Lessee, or occasioned by or in any way connected with Lessee's use or storage of
any hazardous or toxic materials or wastes on the Demised Premises, or
occasioned by any act or omission of Lessee and Lessee's agents, servants,
employees or invitees who may come upon the Demised Premises, except for damage
to any property or injury to or death of any person caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessor. The indemnity obligations of Lessee set forth
herein shall survive and continue beyond the term of this Lease.

8.02       Lessee hereby agrees to maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the term of this Lease, at Lessee's expense, a policy or policies
of comprehensive general liability insurance, insuring against all liability of
Lessee and Lessor for bodily injury and property damage arising out of or in
connection with Lessee's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises and also
insuring performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions set forth in Section
8.01. The initial amount of such insurance shall be at least $1,000,000.00, and
shall be subject to periodic increase based upon inflation, recommendations by
Lessor's insurance advisors, and other relevant factors. However, the amount of
such general liability insurance shall not limit Lessee's liability nor relieve
Lessee of any obligations under this Lease. The general liability insurance
policy shall name Lessor as an insured party thereunder, and shall be endorsed
to provide that no cancellation or reduction in coverage will be made without
ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessor. A copy of the policy or a
certificate of insurance shall be furnished to Lessor.

8.03      Lessee Shall also maintain in full force and effect at all times
during the term of this Lease, at Lessee's expense, a policy or policies
covering loss or damage to the Demised Premises, to the extent of the
replacement value thereof as determined in good faith by Lessor or Lessor's
insurance agent or carrier, based upon standard insurance underwriting
practices. Such policy or policies shall provide protection against all perils
included within

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief,
and any other perils (excluding flood and earthquake) which Lessor deems
necessary, and shall specifically name Lessor as an insured party thereunder, as
it's interest may appear. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee shall be
responsible for maintaining its own insurance covering the personal property,
trade fixtures and removable leasehold improvements owned by Lessee and located
upon the Demised Premises.

8.04    Lessor and Lessee each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery
against the other, or against the agents, employees or representatives of the
other, on account of loss or damage to the property of the waiving party to the
extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policies
which either Lessor or Lessee may have in force at the time of such loss or
damage. Lessee shall, upon obtaining the insurance required hereunder, give
notice to the insurance carrier that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation
is contained in this Lease and Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained
by Lessee to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by
way of subrogation against either Lessor or Lessee in connection with any damage
covered by such policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.04 shall
not be operative and shall have no force or effect for so long as both Lessor
and Lessee maintain their respective liability and hazard insurance coverage
through the same insurance carrier.

ARTICLE 9.        REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

9.01    Lessee acknowledges that the Demised Premises are in good order and
condition as of the time of executing this Lease Agreement. Lessee shall, at all
times during the term hereof and at Lessee's own expense, keep and maintain the
Demised Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, whether or
not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use,
the elements, or the age of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, and
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical, lighting facilities, and
equipment within the Demised Premises, fixtures, interior surfaces of the
exterior walls, ceilings, floor coverings, windows, doors, plate glass, and
skylights located within the Demised Premises. Except as provided in Section
9.02 below, Lessee hereby waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of
Lessor or in lieu thereof to vacate the Demised Premises as provided by
California Civil Code Section 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.

9.02    The maintenance obligations of Lessee, as set forth in Section 9.01,
shall not include the exterior shell, roof and common areas of any building
comprising a part of the Demised Premises and such exterior shell, roof and
common areas shall be maintained by Lessor, at Lessor's own expense, but without
liability for failure to do so unless first notified by Lessee in writing of the
necessity for such repairs. In the event Lessor shall fail to commence and
complete the repairs within a reasonable time following receipt of such notice,
Lessee may notify Lessor of Lessee's intention to perform the repair work and
Lessee may proceed to do so at any time after the expiration of three days from
Lessor's receipt of such notice and Lessee may deduct the cost of the work from
the next installment(s) of rent payable to Lessor.

ARTICLE 10.       TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS

10.01    Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, the proportionate share
of all real property taxes levied or assessed against the Industrial Center
during the Lease term which are attributable to the Demised Premises, as
reasonably determined by Lessor, except that:

     (a) Lessee shall pay 100% of any increase in real property taxes
         attributable to any alterations and improvements to the Demised
         Premises constructed by or for the benefit of Lessee;


     (b) Lessee shall not be charged for any increase in real property taxes
         attributable to alterations or improvements constructed or installed
         within the Industrial Center as leasehold improvements for the use and
         benefit of other tenants;

10.02    Payment by Lessee of the real property taxes referred to herein shall
be made within thirty (30) days after Lessor furnishes to Lessee a copy of the
tax bill showing the total amount of property taxes levied or assessed against
the Industrial Center, the amount thereof payable by Lessee, and the calculation
utilized by Lessor to determine such amount. Lessee and its authorized agents
shall be entitled to review the tax records and any other documents utilized by
Lessor to calculate the amount of real estate taxes payable by Lessee. In the
event of any disagreement between the parties, the matter may be submitted to
arbitration, using the same procedure as described in Section 3.02, except that
the arbitrators shall be persons having expertise in the area of assessment of
real property taxes.

10.03     As used herein, the term "real property taxes" shall include any form
of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary,
and any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or
tax imposed on the Industrial Center by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal agency, or any
school, sanitary, fire, street, drainage, or other improvement district. The
term "real property taxes" does not include Lessor's federal or state income tax
or estate, inheritance, transfer, gift, or franchise taxes.

10.04     Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes levied or assessed
against the trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings, and other personal property
of Lessee located upon the Demised Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee
shall cause said trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings, and other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real
property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee within thirty
(30) days after Lessor furnishes to Lessee a written statement describing the
property in question and showing the amount of tax thereon payable by Lessee.

ARTICLE 11.           ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS


11.01     Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any alterations, additions or
improvements in, on or about the Demised Premises, or construct, install or
paint any sign on the roof or

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

exterior walls of the Demised Premises. As a condition to giving such consent,
Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor a surety bond or other security
satisfactory to Lessor to insure Lessor against mechanics' and materialmen's
liens and to insure completion of the work.

11.02  All alterations, additions and improvements, whether temporary or
permanent in character, made by Lessee in, or or about the Demised Premises,
except removable trade fixtures installed at the expense of Lessee and Lessee's
equipment which is not considered a fixture, shall, in the absence of a written
request by Lessor for their removal, become the property of Lessor and shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Demised Premises at the termination of
this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise without compensation to Lessee.

ARTICLE 12.         DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

12.01  If the Demised Premises, or other portion of the Industrial Center of
which the Demised Premises constitute a part, are damaged, by fire or other
casualty, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided such repairs can, in
Lessor's opinion, be completed within ninety (90) days. In such event, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that if there is damage to
the Demised Premises and such damage was not the result of negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessee or Lessee's employees or invitees, the rent payable by
Lessee shall be abated while the repairs are being may by the extent to which
the Demised Premises are unusable by Lessee in the normal conduct of Lessee's
business. If the repairs cannot, in Lessor's opinion, be completed within ninety
(90) days, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, make the repairs and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, subject to abatement of rental as hereinabove
in this Section provided. In the event Lessor does not elect to make the repairs
which cannot be completed within ninety (90) days, and provided the damage
affects the Demised Premises or common areas necessary to Lessee's occupancy,
Lessor shall give written notice of such fact to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after the date on which the damage occurred and either Lessor or Lessee may,
within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, terminate this Lease.

12.02  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.01 above, Lessor and Lessee
shall each have the option of terminating this Lease in any of the following
circumstances:

     (a)  Where the damage or destruction arises from a casualty or cause not
          covered by insurance then in force maintained by Lessee in accordance
          with Section 8,03, or if, for any reason, the proceeds from such
          insurance are not available or are inadequate to cover the entire cost
          of the repair.

     (b)  Where the building in which the Demised Premises are located is
          damaged or destroyed to the extent of one third or more of the
          replacement coat thereof, whether the Demised Premises be injured or
          not; provided, however, Lessee shall have no right to terminate unless
          such damage or destruction materially impairs Lessee's normal and
          customary use of the Demised Premises,

     (c)  Where the repairs cannot be made by reason of any statute, ordinance,
          rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

12.03  If Lessor is obligated or elects to repair any damage pursuant to this
Article, Lessor shall not be required to repair or replace any improvements
installed in the Demised Premises by or for Lessee, other than building standard
tenant improvements made by Lessor, and Lessee shall, at Lessee's own expense,
repair and restore Lessee's portion of such improvements.

12.04  In the event of a total destruction of an entire building in which any
portion of the Demised Premises is located, either party may elect to terminate
this Lease with respect to such portion and the monthly rent payable to Lessor,
including the expenses charged to Lessee which are based upon the square footage
of the Demised Premises, shall be reduced by same proportion that the floor area
of the Demised Premises so destroyed bears to the floor area of the entire
Demised Premises immediately prior to such destruction.

12.05  Lessor and Lessee each waive the provisions of any statute which relates
to termination of a lease when the leased property is destroyed and agree that
such event shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13.         CONDEMNATION

13.01  If all of the Demised Premises or so much thereof is taken by right of
eminent domain, or purchase in lieu thereof, such that the Demised Premises are
no longer reasonably suitable for Lessee's use, this Lease shall terminate as
of the date that possession of the Demised Premises or part thereof is taken.

13.02  If any part of the Demised Premises is taken and the remaining part
thereof (after reconstruction of the then existing building) is reasonably
suitable for Lessee's use, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate
as of the date that possession of such part is taken and the rent payable
hereunder shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the
portion of the Demised Premises so taken (less any addition thereto by reason of
any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Demised Premises
immediately prior to the taking, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, make all
necessary repairs or alterations to restore the remaining Demised Premises to a
complete architectural unit,

13.03  No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned and Lessee
hereby assigns to Lessor all of Lessee's interest therein, except that Lessee
shall be entitled to any portion of the award specifically designated as
compensation for the taking of persona1 property belonging to Lessee, for the
interruption of Lessee's business, for Lessee's moving costs or loss of goodwill
suffered by Lessee. No temporary taking of the Demised Premises shall terminate
this Lease or give Lessee any right to abatement of rent hereunder; any award
recovered by Lessee for such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Lessee
and Lessor shall have no interest therein. Each party agrees to execute and

ARTICLE 14.         ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.01  Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage, sublet, pledge, hypothecate or encumber all or any part of Lessee's
interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without
Lessor's prior written consent and any attempt to do so without such consent
being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach
of this Lease, by transfer of a controlling interest in the stock of Lessee
shall constitute an assignment hereunder.

14.02  If Lessee complies with the following conditions, Lessor shall not
unreasonably withhold Lessor's consent to the assignment of this Lease or the
subletting of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof. Lessee shall submit
in writing to Lessor:

     (a)  The name and legal composition of the proposed Assignee or Sublessee;

     (b)  The terms and provisions of the proposed Assignment or Sublease; and

     (c)  Such financial information as Lessor may reasonably request concerning
          the proposed Assignee or Sublessee.

14.03  No consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting by Lessee shall
relieve Lessee of any obligation to be performed by Lessee under this Lease,
whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting. The
consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Lessee from
the obligation to obtain Lessor's express written consent to any other
assignment or subletting. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other person
shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provisions of this Lease or
to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one
assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute
consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer.

ARTICLE 15.         TRANSFER OF LESSOR'S INTEREST

15.01  Lessor shall have the right at any time to sell, transfer, assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of Lessor's interest in the Demised
Premises and in this Lease. In the event of any such sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition, all obligations of Lessor hereunder
shall devolve upon the transferee and Lessor shall be released and discharged
from all further obligation or liability hereunder; provided, that Lessor shall
be responsible for any funds in the hands of Lessor in which Lessee has an
interest until such funds have been delivered to the transferee. Lessee agrees
to attorn to the transferee provided all of Lessor's obligations hereunder are
assumed by the transferee in writing for the benefit of Lessee.

ARTICLE 16.         MECHANICS' LIENS

16.01  Lessee shall keep the Demised Premises free and clear of all mechanics'
Liens resulting from any construction work done by or for Lessee. Lessee shall
have the right to contest the correctness or validity of any such lien if,
immediately on demand by Lessor,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Lessee procures and records a lien release bond issued by a corporation
authorized to issue surety bonds in California in an amount equal to one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the amount of the claim of lien or other security
satisfactory to Lessor. If used, the bond shall meet the requirements of Section
8143 of the California Civil Code and shall provide for the payment of any sum
that the claimant may recover on the claim, together with costs of suit. Should
Lessee fail to discharge any such lien or cause the same to be released within
sixty (60) days from the date the lien is filed, Lessor may, without inquiring
into the validity thereof, cause the same to be discharged and all amounts so
expended by Lessor, together with reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, shall
be paid by Lessee to Lessor as additional rent hereunder, together with interest
thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Lessee shall give ten
(10) days prior written notice to Lessor of the date on which any construction
work will be commenced so as to afford Lessor the opportunity to post a notice
of nonresponsibility.

ARTICLE 17.         ENTRY BY LESSOR

17.01  Lessor and Lessor's authorized representatives shall have the right to
enter the Demised Premises at reasonable hours and upon reasonable notice
(except in case of emergency) for any of the following purposes:

     (a)  To examine and inspect the Demised Premises;

     (b)  To supply any service to be provided by Lessor to Lessee hereunder;

     (c)  To perform any necessary maintenance or repairs that Lessor is
          required or permitted to perform hereunder;

     (d)  To serve, post or keep posted any notices required or allowed under
          the provisions of this Lease;

     (e)  To post "for sale" signs at any tie during the term, to post "for
          rent" or "for lease" signs during the last one hundred twenty (120)
          days of the Lease term, or during any period while Lessee is in
          default;

     (f)  To show the Demised Premises to prospective tenants, buyers, lenders
          or other persons at any time during the Lease term;

     (g)  To do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation
          of the Demised Premises or the Industrial Center, or to comply with
          the directives of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over
          the Industrial Center.

17.02  Lessor shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all
of the doors in, on or about the Demised Premises (excluding Lessee's vaults,
safes and other secured areas designated in writing by Lessee in advance); and
Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem
proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the
Demised Premises, and any entry to the Demised Premises obtained by Lessor by
any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed
or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

of the Demised Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Lessee from
the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof. In the event of any such entry,
Lessor agrees to maintain in secrecy any and all business and technical
information concerning Lessee's business that Lessor may learn as a result of
such entry.

ARTICLE 18.         DEFAULT BY LESSEE

18.01  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events ("Events of
Default") shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by
Lessee:

     (a)  Any failure by Lessee to pay any rental or any other sum required
          to be paid by Lessee hereunder, as and when the same becomes due and
          payable.

     (b)  Any failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision of
          this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure
          continues fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to
          Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such
          that it cannot reasonably be cured within such fifteen (15) day
          period, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee shall
          within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently
          prosecute the same to completion.

     (c)  The making by Lessee of any general assignment or general arrangement
          for the benefit of creditors; the fling by or against Lessee of a
          petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for
          reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy
          (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is
          dismissed within ninety (90) days); the appointment of a trustee or
          receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's interest
          in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within sixty
          (60) days: or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
          substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Demised Premises
          or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
          discharged within forty-five (45) days.

18.02  Any notice given under this Article shall specify the Event of Default
and the applicable lease provisions, and shall demand that Lessee perform the
provisions of this Lease or pay the rent that is in arrears, as the case may be,
within the applicable period of time. No such notice shall be deemed a
forfeiture or a termination of this Lease provided Lessee cures the default
within the applicable period of time.

ARTICLE 19.         LESSOR'S REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

19.01  Lessor shall have the following remedies upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, such remedies being cumulative and not exclusive and in addition to
any other remedies available to Lessor as now or hereafter provided by law:

     (a)  Lessor can continue this Lease in full force and effect, and the Lease
          will continue in effect as long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's
          right to possession, and Lessor shall have the right to collect rent
          when due, irrespective

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

          of whether Lessee shall have abandoned the Demised Premises. During
          the period Lessee is in default, Lessor can enter the Demised Premises
          and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Lessee's
          account. Lessee shall be liable immediately to Lessor for all costs
          Lessor incurs in such reletting, including, without limitation,
          broker's commissions, expenses of remodeling the Demised Premises
          required by reletting, and like costs. Reletting can be for a period
          shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Lessee shall
          pay to Lessor the rent specified in this Lease on the dates when the
          same becomes due, less the rent Lessor receives from any reletting. No
          act by Lessor allowed by this paragraph shall terminate this Lease
          unless Lessor notifies Lessee that Lessor elects to terminate this
          Lease.  After Lessee's default and for as long as Lessor does not
          terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Demised Premises, Lessee
          shall have the right to assign or sublet Lessee's interest in this
          Lease pursuant to Article 14, but Lessor's consent may be conditioned
          upon all defaults by Lessee being fully cured at the time of
          assignment or subletting.

     (b)  Lessor can terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Demised
          Premises at any time during Lessee's default. No act by Lessor other
          than giving written notice to Lessee shall terminate this Lease.  Acts
          of maintenance, efforts to relet the Demised Premises, or the
          appointment of a receiver on Lessor's initiative to protect Lessor's
          interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of
          Lessee's right to possession. On termination, Lessor has the right to
          recover from Lessee:


          (1)  The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that has
               been earned at the time of termination of this Lease; plus

          (2)  The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the
               unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of
               termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the
               amount of the loss of rent that Lessee proves could have been
               reasonably avoided; plus

          (3)  The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the
               unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
               exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Lessee proves could
               have been reasonably avoided; and

          (4)  Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Lessor
               for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee's default.

          "The worth, at the time of the award" as used in (1) and (2) above,
is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum from the date of default. "The worth, at the time of the award" as used
in (3) above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one
percent (1%). The term "rent," as used in this Article shall be deemed to
include all monetary sums required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of
this Lease.

ARTICLE 20.         LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS

20.01  If Lessee shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than rental, required
to be paid by Lessee hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on
Lessee's part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten
(10) days after notice thereof by Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated
to do so, and without waiving or releasing Lessee horn any obligations of
Lessee, make such payment or perform any such other act on Lessee's part to be
made or performed hereunder. All sums expended by Lessor, including necessary
incidental costs, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable
to Lessor immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of expenditure to the date of
reimbursement.

ARTICLE 21.         COSTS OF SUIT

21.01  In the event legal action between Lessor and Lessee shall become
necessary in order to enforce or interpret this Lease, or any provision
contained herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs
and expenses as may be incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable
attorney's fees.

21.02  Should Lessor, without fault on Lessor's part, be made a party to any
litigation instituted by Lessee or by any third party against Lessee, or by or
against any person holding under or using the Demised Premises by license of
Lessee, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or materials furnished to
or for Lessee or any such other person or otherwise arising out of or resulting
from any act or transaction of Lessee or of any such other person, Lessee
covenants to save, defend, and hold Lessor harmless from any judgment rendered
against Lessor or the Demised Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Lessor in connection
with such litigation.

ARTICLE 22.         SUBORDINATION

22.01  In the event the holder of any deed of trust hereafter to be placed
against the Demised Premises requires that this Lease be subordinate to any such
encumbrance, this Lease shall be subordinate to that encumbrance if Lessor first
obtains from the holder of the deed of trust a written agreement providing that
for so long as Lessee shall perform all of Lessee's duties and obligations
hereunder, no foreclosure, deed given in lieu of foreclosure or sale under such
deed of trust shall affect Lessee's rights under this Lease. Lessee shall attorn
to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale, or to any grantee or transferee
designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, Lessee shall execute the
written agreement and any other documents required by the holder of the deed of
trust to accomplish the purposes of this Article, and upon Lessee's failure or
refusal to do so within five (5) days after demand, Lessee hereby appoints
Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to execute such agreement or other documents
for and on behalf of Lessee. The power of attorney granted herein shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

ARTICLE 23.         ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE


23.01  Each party, within ten (10) days after notice from the other, shall
execute and deliver to the other, in recordable form, a certificate stating that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and
effect as modified stating the modifications. The certificate also shall state
the amount of monthly rent, the dates to which the rent has been paid in
advance, the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent, and shall further
certify that there is no uncured default by the other party under the Lease, or
specify such default, if any is claimed. Failure to deliver the certificate
within the ten (10) days, shall be conclusive upon the party failing to deliver
the certificate for the benefit of the party requesting the certificate, and any
successor to the party requesting the certificate, that this Lease is in full
force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by the
party requesting the certificate, that there are no uncured defaults by the
party requesting the certificate and that not more than one (1) month's rent has
been paid in advance.

ARTICLE 24.         HOLDING OVER

24.01  If Lessee remains in possession of all or any part of the Demised
Premises after the expiration of the term hereof, with the express or implied
consent of Lessor, such tenancy shall be from month to month only, and not a
renewal hereof or an extension for any further term and in such case rent and
other monetary sums due hereunder shall be the amount payable at the expiration
of the term of this Lease and such month to month tenancy shall be subject to
every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein.

ARTICLE 25.         SURRENDER

25.01  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall
surrender the Demised Premises in the same condition as received, ordinary wear
and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements alone
excepted. Lessee shall remove all of Lessee's personal property and trade
fixtures and shall repair, at Lessee's expense, any damage to the Demised
Premises or the Industrial Center caused by such removal, including, without
limitation, repair of floors and patching and repainting of walls where
required, all to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction. Any personal property or
trade fixtures not removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee. If Lessor so elects, Lessee shall
also remove any alterations or improvements installed by or for Lessee which
would otherwise remain as part of the Demised Premises and Lessee shall restore
the Demised Premises to their condition prior to such installation.

25.02  Should Lessee fail to remove any personal property or trade fixtures, or
fail to remove any alterations or improvements as requested by Lessor, Lessee
shall be liable to Lessor for any and all removal costs, transportation and
storage expenses, and the cost of restoring the Demised Premises as required
herein. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against any loss, damage or liability
resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the Demised Premises,
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenants founded
on such delay.

<PAGE>

ARTICLE 26.         WAIVER

26.01  No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed
waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is
claimed, and any waiver of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other
covenant, term or condition. Acceptance by Lessor of any performance by Lessee
after the time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by
Lessor of the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless
otherwise expressly agreed to by Lessor in writing. The receipt and acceptance
by Lessor of delinquent rent shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment
for the particular rent payment involved.

ARTICLE 27.         QUIET ENJOYMENT

27.01  Lessor hereby covenants with Lessee that upon payment by Lessee of the
rent as aforesaid and upon observance and performance of the terms of this Lease
by Lessee, Lessee shall peaceably hold and enjoy the Demised Premises for the
term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by Lessor or any person or
persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under Lessor.

ARTICLE 28.         NOTICES

                             Mountain View, CA 94043

28.02  Either party may change the foregoing address by giving notice to the
other in the manner provided herein. Any notice sent by mail shall be deemed
received on the third business day following deposit of the notice in the United
States Mail, with proper postage prepaid thereon.

ARTICLE 29.         RIGHT TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE

29.01  During the term of the Lease, Lessee shall have the right to lease
additional space within the Industrial Center, as and when any such space
becomes available for lease, but subject to the prior and superior rights of
other tenants in the Industrial Center

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

to lease such space, as set forth in the "Right of First Refusal" list
attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made a part hereof. At the time that any such
space becomes available, and provided that all of the other tenants having a
prior and superior right to lease the space have expressly declined to do so,
Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of the availability of such space prior to
leasing the same to any other party. Within ten (10) business days following
Lessee's receipt of such notice, Lessee may deliver a written election to Lessor
to rent the space for the then fair market rental value, as mutually agreed upon
by the parties. The parties shall thereupon execute an amendment to this Lease
so as to include such additional space as part of the Demised Premises, subject
to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Lessee
exercises the option to lease the additional space but the parties are unable to
agree upon the fair market rental value, the matter shall be determined by
appraisal under the same procedure as set forth in Section 3.02 for
determination of rent payable during the extended term of this Lease.

ARTICLE 30.         NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL

30.01  Lessor agrees to provide written notice to Lessee of Lessor's intention
to sell the Industrial Center, or any portion thereof that includes all or any
part of the Demised Premises. Such notice shall be given prior to Lessor
entering into any listing or sale agreement. Lessee shall be afforded a period
of ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notice in which to advise Lessor
in writing of Lessee's interest in purchasing the property to be sold, in which
event, Lessor agrees to negotiate in good faith for sale of such property to
Lessee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate or require Lessor to accept
any discounts, accommodations, concessions or other special arrangements with
respect to the purchase price and terms of sale. If the parties have not
executed a binding written agreement for purchase and sale of the property
within thirty (30) days after the date of Lessor's notice to Lessee, then Lessor
may proceed to list, negotiate, or sell the property to any other party without
further obligation hereunder to Lessee. After having once satisfied the
requirements of this Section, Lessor shall not again be obligated to do so.

ARTICLE 31.         MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

RE:  Lease ("Lease") by and between Jack Dymond Associates ("Lessor") and
     Catalytica Combustion Systems, Inc. ("CCSI") for premises located at 430
     Ferguson Drive, Mountain View, CA ("Premises")


Dear Ron:

By Lessor's signed acknowledgement of a letter that I sent you dated September
13, 2000, Jack Dymond Associates consented to the prospective assignment of the
Lease from Catalytica Inc. ("Catalytica") to CCSI (which has since changed its
name to Catalytica Energy Systems, Inc.) ("Assignment"). On and after the
Effective Date of the Assignment, Catalytica will remain in a portion of the
Premises under a Space Sharing Agreement to be completed with Catalytica Energy
Systems, Inc. ("CESI"). The use by Catalytica of the portion of the Premises
covered by the Space Sharing Agreement will remain unchanged after the Effective
Date of the Assignment. As you know, under the terms of the Lease, despite the
Assignment, Catalytica remains secondarily liable for the obligations of
"Lessee" under the Lease after the Assignment.

Under Article 14 of the Lease, entry by CESI and Catalytica into the Space
Sharing Agreement may require Lessor's consent. I am requesting by this letter
that you agree that this notice is sufficient to satisfy all of the requirements
of Article 14 of the Lease regarding the Space Sharing Agreement, and consent to
the entry by CESI and Catalytica into a Space Sharing Agreement by signing the
acknowledgement below.
