Part I
Item 1. Description of Business
A. Business Development and Summary
California Software Corporation, hereinafter referred to as the
"Company" or "CSC", was organized by the filing of articles of incorporation
with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on October 28, 1998. The
articles of the Company authorized the issuance of twenty million (20,000,000)
shares of Common Stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company is a developmental stage company with a principal business
objective to provide software and related technology products and services to
businesses. The Company currently provides "PC" based software solutions that
replicate the IBM midrange systems environment on a PC platform. The Company
also provides high level programming language services, allowing business
customers to execute midrange applications on a PC network in "native" mode
without the need for redevelopment. Additionally, the Company offers services to
its clients designed to turn an existing network of PCs into a true distributed
processing client/server system.
The Company's goal is to become the platform of choice for re-hosting
software solutions from the IBM AS/400 to the PC platform. The IBM AS/400 and
its predecessors, the System/32, 34, 36 and 38, collectively called the IBM
Midrange computers, are a separate class from Personal Computers. When
introduced in the late eighties, the AS/400 like its Midrange predecessors was a
far more powerful, multi-user computer than individual PCs and was capable of
supporting environments with hundreds of users.
These IBM Midrange Systems, were the systems of choice for general
business usage because there were more software products, both custom and
pre-packaged that ran on them. Over 28,000 business programs have been written
for these systems, more than any other platform.
In recent years PC networks have become far more powerful and the
number of PC users has grown to the point where virtually all business people
use them daily. While there are many benefits to the AS/400, they appear
old-fashioned to many information management professionals today. While the
software that runs on these IBM machines is very solid and reliable, it is also
very proprietary. It won't run on other platforms. The Company has completely
replicated this IBM Midrange machine environment on the PC platform. This means
that the end user can run these very solid, reliable software applications on
PC's. The only other method for achieving this goal would be to completely
rewrite the software in a different language for the PC. That endeavor is
expensive and time-consuming.
Small to medium size software developers and many end users cannot
afford the monetary, time and staffing investments to rewrite their
applications. With the BABY/36 and BABY/400 products they do not have to. BABY
replicates the IBM Midrange operating environments under Windows(TM). What this
means is that the applications developer can take older IBM Midrange programs
that meet current business requirements and run them on an NT(TM) network.
Moreover, the developer can utilize another BABY product to translate text-based
screens into icon and mouse-driven point-and-click ones. Importantly, BABY also
provided a Y2K compliant platform for System/3x programs. This makeover
dramatically extends the life of the application at a relatively low cost to the
application developer.
The Company designates as its priorities for the first twelve months of
operations as developing and emphasizing its platform-migration software
products to establish its business in the software and technology market. The
Company believes this strategy will allow it to produce competitive profit
margins and provide high-quality information technology services to a broad base
of users.
Headquartered in Santa Ana, California, the Company currently markets
its products overseas through an international distributor network of 40 IBM
Business Partners and software houses. In North America, the Company sells its
products and services directly to end users as well as through an extensive
network of over 150 value added resellers who bundle their own midrange
applications with the Baby products into a PC offering. The Company is an IBM
AS/400 Partner in Development and a Microsoft Solution Provider.
On January 12, 1999, the Company completed an acquisition of
approximately $1,628,068 worth of assets and $702,742 of liabilities from
California Software Products, Inc. - a California company in a similar line of
business as the Company - in exchange for a convertible note as amended in the
principal sum of $2,250,000 - convertible into the Common Shares of the Company
once the Company is trading on the OTC-BB(R) or a similar market and based upon
the Company's trading price sixty(60) days following the first day of trading of
the Company's Shares with a minimum conversion rate of $1.50 per share on that
date.

In the early eighties, the Company's founders used their extensive
programming expertise to pioneer the first PC based RPG systems the Baby product
line. These products allow a company to execute midrange applications on a PC
network in "native" mode without the need for redevelopment. Over the past
decade, Baby products have become household names in the worldwide marketplace
with more than 100,000 users in 42 countries.
B. Business of Issuer
(1) Principal Products and Services and Principal Markets
The Company currently designs, develops and markets platform-migration
software and provides high-quality service and support for its clients.
The Baby Products
The Company currently offers solutions for midrange applications
developed in RPG II, RPG III, and RPG /400. All products are uniquely designed
to easily migrate IBM midrange applications to the PC environment in three
steps: (i) move the existing source code and data files to the PC; (ii)
recompile the source code into executable object code; and (iii) execute the RPG
application in the PC environment. Every Baby system contains a full array of
feature-rich development tools, along with compilers for RPG, OCL/CL, and
DDS/SFGR. As a result, businesses and companies worldwide use the Company's
family of Baby products for off loading their program development by moving
their source code to the PC where it can be modified, recompiled, and debugged
using Baby products. These programs can then be run on the PC or the midrange
system. The Company offers the following applications:
Baby/400 - The Baby/400 is a powerful PC based RPG/400 development,
execution, and operating environment that combines all the benefits of PC and PC
network technology with the power and versatility of an IBM AS/400 midrange
computer. Existing source code is downloaded to the PC, recompiled and executed
without the need for any redevelopment. New programs can be developed, compiled
and debugged on the PC platform. New applications can be executed on the PC or
uploaded to the AS/400. Baby/400 allows users to preserve their existing
application software investment, improve system performance and end-user
response time, avoid the high cost of midrange system upgrades, lower
maintenance and system operations cost, integrate RPG/400 application data with
existing PC applications, increase end user productivity and performance and
shorten new user training time.
Baby/400 Client Server - The Baby/400 Client Server rapidly converts
AS/400 legacy applications into Client/Server solutions without the need for any
redevelopment of PC functionality. With Baby/400 Client Server, portions of the
legacy application targeted to become PC Clients can be downloaded to the PC and
recompiled, creating native PC based object code. The PC based RPG application
is able to execute for the Client and continue to use the data files residing on
the AS/400 (true Client/Server). This makes it possible to rapidly turn a legacy
application into a Client/Server application, eliminating the need for
reprogramming or leaning new PC based languages. Benefits of the Baby 400 Client
Server are no redevelopment of application functionality, rapid implementation
cycle with low project completion risk, minimal project and staff investment, no
learning curve for new PC based programming languages, ease of project backlog
of the MIS department, the original source code always remains on the AS/400,
increased end user productivity and performance and shortened application
training time for new users.
Baby/400 Desktop Developer - This is a standalone PC, entry level
version of Baby/400 with all the same features and functionality but scaled for
4
<PAGE>
a single user. Baby/400 Desktop Developer allows a maximum file size of 4,000
records, making it an affordable choice for off-line development, recompiling,
and code testing.
Baby/36 - Baby/36 is a powerful PC based RPG II development, execution
and operating environment for the migration of System/36 applications to a PC
standalone or network environment without the need for any redevelopment. Many
users have replaced their System/36 with PC networks and were able to easily
migrate their S/36 applications in a matter of days. Benefits of Baby/36 include
the ability to preserve existing application software investments, improved
system performance and end user response time, avoiding high midrange system
upgrade cost, lower maintenance and system operations cost, integration of RPG
II application data with existing PC applications, increased end user
productivity and performance, avoiding the cost of adding third party GUI
products, shortened new user training time and the ability to execute S/36
applications on portable PCs and across remote locations.
Service and Support
The Company currently supports its products with a team of technical
experts that can assist clients in a smooth migration to the PC environment.
Management believes its technical support team and implementation consultants
are well-equipped to support IBM midrange, PC, connectivity hardware, and
operating system environments. The Company also offers services such as:
Pre-Migration Analysis - Analysis and preparation of the software and
hardware environment for the migration to the Company's products.
Client/Server Consulting - Assistance in planning for and converting
legacy application environments to Client/Server environments.
Application Migration Services - Migration of RPG applications to the
Company's PC based operating environment.
Implementation Service - On-Site installation of migrated applications,
technical training, and configuration of the PC environment for program
execution.
The market for the Company's migration software applications is highly
competitive. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in this
business include product performance, time to market for new product
introductions, adherence to industry standards, price, and marketing and
distribution resources. The Company believes that it competes favorably in all
of these categories.
(2) Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
The Company is currently marketing and distributing its services and
products through a direct sales force. The Company believes that its
multi-channel distribution strategy will enable it to effectively market its
software and services to a wide range of potential customers. The Company has
also established and will continue to establish marketing and distribution
relationships through a broad range of channels including value added resellers
("VARs"), distributors and manufacturers' representatives, as well as direct
sales representatives.
The Company has organized its information technology services business
such that each service technician maintains a direct relationship with certain
of the Company's service customers. Specific marketing programs will vary by
5
<PAGE>
target customer. The Company believes that its direct sales approach, including
having Company service technicians serve as client-relationship managers, has
led to better account penetration and management, better communications and
long-term relationships with its clients and greater opportunities for follow-on
sales of products and services to its client base.
In support of its sales efforts, the Company currently markets its
products through direct mail, advertising, seminars, trade shows, telemarketing,
and on-going customer and third-party communications programs. The Company also
generates interest in, and educates potential customers about, computer and
network software solutions through speaking engagements, contributed articles,
interviews and documentaries. However, management of the Company currently
believes that a vast majority of its sales will come from marketing its products
through an international distributor network of IBM Business Partners and
software houses. In North America, management of the Company believes that its
products will be sold primarily through an extensive network of value added
resellers who bundle their own midrange applications with the Baby products into
a PC offering. In addition, the Company plans on becoming an IBM AS/400 Partner
in Development and a Microsoft Solution Provider.
(3) Status of Any Announced New Product or Service
The Company is currently working on a new product family set of
software to be released in 1999. The Company, however, has yet to announce this
new product family and has not announced any other recent additions to the
existing products and services it currently offers.
(4) Industry Background
The IBM's midrange computing platforms, the System/36 and the AS/400,
have served as a popular computing solution for business applications since
IBM's introduction of these two systems in 1983 and 1988, respectively. While
IBM made obsolete the System/36 in 1988, industry sources estimate approximately
250,000 System/36 systems remained in use worldwide at the end of 1995. Industry
publications estimate that over 360,000 AS/400 systems were in use worldwide at
the end of 1995. The Gartner Group estimates that, by the end of 1997, the
installed base of AS/400 systems will increase to over 450,000 systems
worldwide.
In adopting IBM's midrange computing platforms, businesses, and the
ISVs that support them, have invested substantial resources developing
applications software that provides a wide variety of manufacturing, accounting
and other information-management functions. According to industry sources, by
1995, an estimated 25,000 software applications had been developed for use on
AS/400 systems. Development of applications software intended for use on IBM's
midrange computing platforms continues, assisted by approximately 8,000 ISVs
that IBM estimates develop and market applications software for the AS/400
platform. In 1995, these ISVs generated an estimated $2.5 billion in revenues
from AS/400 applications software sales.
IBM computing platform users and developers have historically been
constrained by the nonportable and proprietary nature of IBM's operating
systems. Software applications written for the System/36 and AS/400 platforms
would not run on other computing platforms, including those using open operating
systems such as UNIX, or other portable operating systems such as Windows NT.
These other computing platforms often offer users significant advantages,
including access to a wider range of software and hardware vendors, as well as
increased system capacity, interoperability and scalability. Since the late
1980s, vendors of hardware and, to a lesser extent, software have experienced
substantial price reductions of their products due to increased competition and
6
<PAGE>
the availability of alternative operating systems. The Company believes that
decreasing prices and increasing functionality in information technology
products have also led to increased market acceptance of open systems and
customer demand for information technology products based on such systems. The
Gartner Group estimates that sales of server/host systems based on the UNIX and
Windows NT operating systems will increase to $40 billion annually by the year
2000, up from an estimated $22 billion in 1996. Industry sources estimate that
the UNIX applications software market is currently smaller, but growing faster,
than the AS/400 applications software market.
Changing to new computing platforms often results in significant
disruption of business operations as users are retrained and errors in the new
software are discovered and corrected. Even more critical to many businesses is
the potential loss of data contained in existing databases that may result from
a change to new applications software. ISVs must also adapt to customer demands
associated with increased popularity of new computing platforms. ISVs that have
developed successful AS/400 applications software are faced with the challenge
of migrating their products to new platforms to meet customer demands while
maintaining their existing customer base for applications software running on
the AS/400 platform.
Approaches to migrating System/36 and AS/400 systems may be summarized
as follows:
Refacing - Refacing involves replacing the "green-screen" interface
with a graphical user interface. Because refacing affects only the end-user
interface, the source code must still be run on the original computing platform,
thereby defeating the goal of many users to upgrade system performance,
interoperability and scalability.
Re-engineering - Re-engineering requires rewriting existing
applications software to enable it to operate on a new computing platform. Since
this entails completely rewriting applications software to meet customer
requirements, it often results in increased cost, risk of failure, disruption
and delay.
Packaged Solutions - Migrating to a new computing platform can
sometimes be accomplished by installing an applications software package that
has been independently developed to run on open or portable platforms. While a
substantial number of packaged software applications are available, businesses
implementing this approach will often have to abandon their investment in
existing databases and software and may incur substantial retraining costs.
Rehosting - Rehosting involves migration of applications software to a
new computing platform with minimal change to the source code or user interface.
Rehosting is achieved by rebuilding applications software to run efficiently on
the new computing platform. This solution often enables businesses to enjoy the
continued use of their existing programs and databases, reduce retraining costs
and obtain the advantages of a new computing platform.
The market for the Company's migration software applications is highly
competitive. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in this
business include product performance, time to market for new product
introductions, adherence to industry standards, price, and marketing and
distribution resources. The Company believes that it competes favorably in all
of these categories.
(5) Raw Materials and Suppliers
The Company is a software technology business, and thus does not use
raw materials or have any principal suppliers.
7
<PAGE>
(6) Customers
The Company provides software solutions and high level programming
language services to business customers worldwide. The Company plans to reach
these customers via direct mail, telemarketing, seminars, trade shows, the
Internet and the referral process. As of January 12, 1999, no sales revenues
have been generated by the Company. In addition, the Company does not anticipate
that its revenues will be dependent on any one or even a few major customers.
(7) Patents, Trademarks , Licenses , Franchises , Concessions, Royalty
Agreements, or Labor Contracts
The Company owns a United States trademark for its family of Baby
software technology. Management is currently planning for additional copyrights
and/or trademarks to fully protect its software. In addition, new proprietary
technological advancements are being protected as trade secrets until
appropriate measure can be taken for protection.
The Company believes that its success and ability to compete is
dependent in part on the protection of its potential trademarks, trade names,
service marks and other proprietary rights. The Company intends to rely on trade
secret and copyright laws to protect the intellectual property that it plans to
develop, but there can be no assurance that such laws will provide sufficient
protection to the Company, that others will not develop products and services
that are similar or superior to those of the Company's, or that third parties
will not copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company's proprietary information
without authorization. In addition, the Company plans to rely on certain
property licensed from third parties, and may be required to license additional
products or services in the future, for use in general operations. There can be
no assurance that these third party licenses will be available or will continue
to be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The inability to
enter into and maintain any of these licenses could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results.
Policing unauthorized use of the Company's proprietary and other
intellectual property rights, in the future, could entail significant expense
and could be difficult or impossible. In addition, there can be no assurance
that third parties will not bring claims of copyright or trademark infringement
against the Company or claim that certain of the Company's products, processes
or features violates a patent. There can be no assurance that third parties will
not claim that the Company has misappropriated their creative ideas or formats
or otherwise infringed upon their proprietary rights. Any claims of
infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result
in costly litigation, divert management attention, require the Company to enter
into costly royalty or licensing arrangements to prevent the Company from using
important technologies or methods, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results.
(8) Regulation
The Company does not need any government approval for its principal
products or services.
(9) Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations
None -- Not Applicable.

<PAGE>
(10) Research and Development Activities
The market for business computing products has historically been
characterized by frequent technological advances, evolving industry standards
and escalating customer expectations. As a result, management believes that the
Company's future growth and success will be largely dependent on its ability to
develop or acquire products to meet the evolving needs of its prospective
clients. The Company anticipates that the long-term success of its product
offering will require further product development. The Company expects to
continually evaluate its products to determine what additional products or
enhancements are required by the marketplace. The Company plans to develop and
enhance its products internally to meet clients' needs, but if the Company can
purchase or license proven products at reasonable costs it will do so in order
to avoid the time and expense involved in developing products.
The Company has yet to incur any research and development costs from
October 28, 1998 (date of inception) through January 12, 1999. However, during
the fiscal and calendar year ending December 31, 1999, the Company plans to
incur research and development expenses of approximately $100,000 with respect
to its current and future products. The cost of such activities are not expected
to be borne by the Company's customers.
California Software has planned to add new features to both BABY/36 and
BABY/400 to allow Internet access. A new product called BABY/GUI has been
announced for release in July of 1999. Much of the technology for the GUI
product has already been released as a component of BABY/36. Thus, most of the
Research and Development is already completed. BABY/GUI creates a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) for software companies and users of the IBM AS/400 computer
itself, whether they purchase our original BABY series of products or not. In
short, AS/400 users not wishing to deploy their software on PCs can maintain
their IBM Midrange computer and make their software appear more modern.
As mentioned earlier, more than 500,000 IBM Midrange systems are
deployed globally. One of the limitations of the IBM Midrange computer family is
that it is not graphical. The software that runs on it appears old-fashioned and
unfriendly.
Users of more modern software running under Windows have come to expect
graphical point and click software. BABY/GUI allows software companies and end
users the ability to create graphical screens without having to rewrite their
non-graphical text-based software. Having created these new graphical screens,
BABY/GUI allows customers to save these screens in HTML format and deploy them
on the Internet.
(11) Impact of Environmental Laws
The Company is not aware of any federal, state or local environmental
laws which would effect its operations.
(12) Employees
The Company presently has twenty-one (21) full time employees. The
Company's employees are currently not represented by a collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company believes that its relations with its employees are
good.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
A. The Company's Predecessor, California Software
Products, Inc.
California Software Products, Inc. (CSPI) was
founded in 1975 and incorporated in California for the purpose
of writing programs for mainframe manufacturers. In 1980, the
company was approached by the PC Division of IBM to write a
program that would compile System/32 software to run on a
personal computer. Development continued throughout the eighties
adding new features and updating current programs as IBM
introduced newer computer systems. When the PC Division was
disbanded and the AS/400 Division chose not to continue the
relationship, CSPI continued to improve these products on its
own. The company had excellent technical resources, but
management did not understand the marketplace and thus began
a gradual decline in revenues and profits. In late 1996 a new
management team headed by Bruce Acacio and Carol Conway took over
the company bringing their extensive knowledge of
turnaround strategies and marketing. The first order of
business for the new team was to restructure the company through
immediate cost-cutting measures to make it profitable. Due to an
unresolved conflict with a major creditor, the team filed
for Chapter 11 protection under Federal Bankruptcy law in
January of 1997. The Plan put forward by management was approved
in October of 1997 and California Software Products, Inc.
finished 1997 profitably, its first profitable year since
1988. 1998 revenues have grown by nearly 60% over 1997 and gross
profits are higher.
COMPENSATION AS PAID BY CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,
INC. (CSPI) FOR BRUCE ACACIO AND CAROL CONWAY INCREASED DURING
THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1997 THROUGH JANUARY 1999. THESE
INCREASES WERE SUBSTANTIALLY DUE TO A DETERMINATION BY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS THAT THE ADDITIONAL EFFORTS OF BOTH INDIVIDUALS IN
FACILITATING THE ASSET PURCHASE AND RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS
AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL WORK EFFORTS REQUIRED OF EACH,
WARRANTED A COMMENSURATE INCREASE IN WAGES. IN JANUARY 1997 BRUCE
ACACIO AND CAROL CONWAY WERE EACH COMPENSATED AT AN ANNUAL RATE
OF $100,000. THIS INCREASED TO $120,000 IN OCTOBER 1997 PURSUANT
TO THE CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION PLAN. IN JANUARY 1999
REMUNERATION LEVELS INCREASED TO $180,000 FOR BRUCE ACACIO AND
$150,000 FOR CAROL CONWAY. ON JANUARY 15, 1999 CALIFORNIA
SOFTWARE CORPORATION (CSC) REPLACED CSPI AS THE EMPLOYER OF
RECORD AND BEGAN COMPENSATING BOTH EMPLOYEES.
B. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
IN ITS INITIAL APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTH OPERATING
PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1999, THE COMPANY GENERATED NET INCOME OF
$149,828.00 FOR SALES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. ON OCTOBER 31,
1998, FOUNDING SHAREHOLDERS PURCHASED 2,700,000 SHARES OF THE
COMPANY'S AUTHORIZED TREASURY STOCK FOR CASH. AN ORIGINAL
STOCK OFFERING WAS MADE PURSUANT TO NEVADA REVISED STATUES
CHAPTER 90.490. ADDITIONALLY, ON DECEMBER 7, 1998, THE COMPANY
COMPLETED AN OFFERING OF FIVE-HUNDRED-SEVENTY THOUSAND AND NINE-
HUNDRED (570,900) SHARES OF THE COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY TO
APPROXIMATELY FORTY-FIVE (45) UNAFFILIATED SHAREHOLDERS. THIS
OFFERING WAS MADE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4(2) OF THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1993, AS AMENDED, PURSUANT TO REGULATION D, RULE 504 OF
THE ACT. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS FILING, THE COMPANY HAS THREE
MILLION TWO-HUNDRED-SEVENTY THOUSAND NINE-HUNDRED (3,270,900)
SHARES OF ITS $0.001 PAR VALUE COMMON VOTING STOCK ISSUED
AND OUTSTANDING WHICH ARE HELD BY APPROXIMATELY FORTY-SEVEN
(47) SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD. MANAGEMENT FULLY ANTICIPATES THAT
THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF ALL OF THE COMMON SHARES SOLD IN
THIS OFFERING DELINEATED ABOVE IN ADDITION TO THE CASH FLOW AND
EARNINGS FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE
THE COMPANY'S CAPITAL NEEDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
9
<PAGE>
IN ADDITION, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL GOING FORWARD WILL BE MET FROM ONGOING
REVENUES AND EARNINGS GENERATED FROM THE ASSETS AND CONTRACTS
THE COMPANY PURCHASED VIA AN ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH
CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC. - A CALIFORNIA COMPANY IN A
SIMILAR LINE OF BUSINESS AS THE COMPANY AS MUCH AS FROM CASH
FLOW AND EARNINGS FROM PRESENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS. ON JANUARY
12, 1999, THE COMPANY COMPLETED AN ACQUISITION OF
APPROXIMATELY $1,628,068 WORTH OF ASSETS AND $702,742 OF
LIABILITIES FROM CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC. - A
CALIFORNIA COMPANY - IN EXCHANGE FOR A CONVERTIBLE NOTE IN THE
PRINCIPAL SUM OF $2,250,000, CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON SHARES OF
THE COMPANY ONCE THE COMPANY IS TRADING ON THE OTC-BB(R) OR A
SIMILAR MARKET AND BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S TRADING PRICE SIXTY
(60) DAYS FOLLOWING THE FIRST DAY OF TRADING OF THE COMPANY'S
SHARES ON A RECOGNIZED PUBLIC EXCHANGE WITH A MINIMUM EXCHANGE
RATE OF $1.50 PER SHARE. ASSUMING THE COMPANY MAKES NO FURTHER
ACQUISITIONS OF ASSETS OR CAPITAL STOCK OF SIMILAR COMPANIES,
MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE COMPANY WILL NOT NEED TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL EQUITY FUNDS TO MEET ITS CASH REQUIREMENTS.
THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED REVENUE GENERATION IS PRIMARILY
DEPENDENT UPON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY AND
EFFICIENTLY PROVIDE SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMMING PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES TO BUSINESSES. THE COMPANY DESIGNATES AS ITS PRIORITIES
FOR THE FIRST TWELVE MONTHS OF OPERATIONS AS DEVELOPING
AND EMPHASIZING ITS PLATFORM-MIGRATION SOFTWARE PRODUCTS TO
ESTABLISH ITS BUSINESS IN THE SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY MARKET.
THE COMPANY'S PRIMARY INTEREST IS THE DESIGN OF PC BASED
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS TO ENABLE USERS TO PRESERVE THEIR
INVESTMENT IN EXISTING LEGACY APPLICATIONS, REDUCE HARDWARE AND
OPERATING COSTS, AND, IN MOST CASES, SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE
SYSTEM RESPONSE TIMES. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY SUPPORTS ITS
PRODUCTS WITH A TEAM OF TECHNICAL EXPERTS THAT CAN ASSIST CLIENTS
IN A SMOOTH MIGRATION TO THE PC ENVIRONMENT. MANAGEMENT
BELIEVES ITS TECHNICAL SUPPORT TEAM AND IMPLEMENTATION
CONSULTANTS ARE WELL-EQUIPPED TO SUPPORT IBM MIDRANGE, PC,
CONNECTIVITY HARDWARE, AND OPERATING SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS.
REALIZATION OF SIGNIFICANT SALES OF THE COMPANY'S
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999 IS VITAL TO ITS PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
TO THIS END, MANAGEMENT IS CURRENTLY EMPHASIZING DISTRIBUTION OF
ITS PLATFORM-MIGRATION SOFTWARE THROUGH A DIRECT SALES FORCE,
AS WELL AS THROUGH INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTORS. THE COMPANY MAY
ALSO SEEK TO ENTER INTO STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH MAJOR
HARDWARE SYSTEM VENDORS AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMS
INTEGRATORS. THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT A MULTI-CHANNEL
DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY WILL ENABLE IT TO EFFECTIVELY MARKET ITS
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES THAT THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS
OF ITS PRODUCT OFFERING WILL REQUIRE FURTHER PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT. THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO CONTINUALLY EVALUATE
ITS PRODUCTS TO DETERMINE WHAT ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS OR
ENHANCEMENTS ARE REQUIRED BY THE MARKETPLACE. THE COMPANY
PLANS TO DEVELOP AND ENHANCE ITS PRODUCTS INTERNALLY TO MEET
CLIENTS' NEEDS, BUT IF THE COMPANY CAN PURCHASE OR LICENSE
PROVEN PRODUCTS AT REASONABLE COSTS IT WILL DO SO IN ORDER TO
AVOID THE TIME AND EXPENSE INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING PRODUCTS.
THE COMPANY HAS INCURRED $23,200 IN RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT COSTS FROM OCTOBER 28, 1998 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
THROUGH MARCH 31, 1999. THE COMPANY BASED ON EXPENDITURES TO

BORNE BY THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ON JANUARY 12, 1999, THE COMPANY COMPLETED THE ACQUISITION OF
APPROXIMATELY $1,628,068 WORTH OF ASSETS AND $702,742 OF
LIABILITIES FROM CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC. ("CSPI") - A
CALIFORNIA COMPANY UNDER THE PRINCIPAL CONTROL AND DIRECTION OF
BRUCE ACACIO AND CAROL CONWAY - IN EXCHANGE FOR A CONVERTIBLE
NOTE IN THE PRINCIPAL SUM OF $2,250,000, CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON
SHARES OF THE COMPANY ONCE THE COMPANY IS TRADING ON THE OTC-
BB(R) OR A SIMILAR MARKET AND BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S TRADING
PRICE SIXTY (60) DAYS FOLLOWING THE FIRST DAY OF TRADING OF THE
COMPANY'S SHARES WITH A MINIMUM CONVERSION PRICE OF $1.50 PER
SHARE.
MANAGEMENT VALUED CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC. PRIMARILY
BY CONSIDERING THE SUM OF NET BOOK VALUE FOR THE COMPANY ON
JANUARY 12, 1999 AND THE EXPECTED EARNINGS FOR THE YEARS 1999 AND
2000 ($2,961,159.92). EXPECTED EARNINGS WERE DETERMINED AS A
FUNCTION OF PRIOR EARNINGS AND A PROJECTED GROWTH RATE OF 20
PERCENT. MANAGEMENT THEN DISCOUNTED THIS VALUE TO $2,250,000.00
SO AS TO ACCOUNT FOR LIKELY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDUSTRY AVERAGES
AND THE COMPANY ITSELF. THIS VALUATION IS BASED ON PROJECTIONS
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE REALIZED GIVEN VARIOUS FACTORS WHICH MAY
EFFECT ACTUAL RESULTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CHANGING
MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS, UNFORESEEN EVENTS AND UNACCOUNTED FOR
VARIABLES.
WHILE MANAGEMENT MADE EVERY EFFORT TO ACCURATELY ASSESS THE
VALUE OF CSPI FROM AN OBJECTIVE ARMS LENGTH VIEW CONSISTENT WITH
A THIRD-PARTY MARKET TRANSACTION, THE TWO ENTITIES ARE IN FACT
RELATED. FURTHERMORE, THERE ARE NO READILY IDENTIFIABLE,
COMPARABLE, THIRD-PARTY EXAMPLES SUFFICIENT TO DETERMINE THE
DEGREE TO WHICH THIS TRANSACTION AND UNDERLYING VALUATION COMPARE
TO A MARKET TRANSACTION. FINALLY, MANAGEMENT MAY NOT HAVE THE
SPECIFIC FINANCIAL EXPERTISE OR ACCOUNTING SOPHISTICATION OR
EXPERIENCE SUFFICIENT TO ARRIVE AT A PRECISE VALUATION. AS SUCH,
MANAGEMENT DOES NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS TRANSACTION AND RELATED
VALUATION WOULD COMPARE TO A THIRD PARTY TRANSACTION. IN
MANAGEMENT'S VIEW, HOWEVER, THE VALUATION AS DETERMINED IS AN
ACCURATE REFLECTION OF THE LIKELY ACTUAL MARKET VALUE OF
CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC. ("CSPI").
AS STATED PREVIOUSLY IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE
COMPANY'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS ARE SUB-LEASED THROUGH A SUB-
LEASE ARRANGEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC.
("CSPI"), A RELATED PARTY FROM WHICH THE COMPANY PURCHASED ALL
OUTSTANDING ASSETS AND CONTRACTS ON JANUARY 12, 1999. THE TERMS
OF THE SUB-LEASE INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY $0.98 PER SQUARE FOOT PER
MONTH ($5,851.40 PER MONTH) FROM OCTOBER 1, 1997 TO MAY 15, 1998,
INCREASES TO $1.20 PER SQUARE FOOT PER MONTH ($7,228.20 PER
MONTH), FROM JANUARY 12, 1999 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1999. THE
AMOUNT INCREASES TO $1.26 PER SQUARE FOOT PER MONTH ($7,572.40
PER MONTH, FROM OCTOBER 1, 1999 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2000. THIS SUB-
LEASE MIRRORS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE UNDERLYING LEASE
BETWEEN CSPI AS LESSEE AND RAYSON INC., THE LESSOR, AN UNRELATED,
THIRD PARTY. THE SUB-LEASE IS THEREFORE, AN ARMS LENGTH
TRANSACTION COMPARABLE TO MARKET RATES AND AS SUCH, MANAGEMENT OF
THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE LEASE TO WHICH THE COMPANY IS
SUBJECT IS AT MARKET RATES. BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT
STAGE NATURE OF THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATIVELY RECENT
INCEPTION, OCTOBER 28, 1998, THE COMPANY HAS NO OTHER
RELATIONSHIPS OR TRANSACTIONS.

determine.
ii. Voting Rights - Each holder of the Company's common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on

C. Other Securities To Be Registered
The Company is not registering any security other

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of
its directors, officers and employees as follows: Every
director, officer, or employee of the Corporation shall be
indemnified by the Corporation against all expenses and
liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by
or imposed upon him/her in connection with any proceeding to
which he/she may be made a party, or in which he/she may become
involved, by reason of being or having been a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or enterprise, or any settlement thereof,
whether or not he/she is a director, officer, employee or agent
at the time such expenses are incurred, except in such cases
wherein the director, officer, employee or agent is adjudged
guilty of willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the
performance of his/her duties; provided that in the event of a
settlement the indemnification herein shall apply only when
the Board of Directors approves such settlement and
reimbursement as being for the best interests of the
Corporation.
The Bylaws of the Company further states that the
Company shall provide to any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or enterprise, the indemnity against
expenses of a suit, litigation or other proceedings which
is specifically permissible under applicable Nevada law. The
Board of Directors may, in its discretion, direct the purchase of
liability insurance by way of implementing the provisions of
this Article. However, the Company has yet to purchase any such
insurance and has no plans to do so.
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company states
that a director or officer of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to this corporation or its stockholders for
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer,
but this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of
the law or (ii) the unlawful payment of dividends. Any repeal or
modification of this Article by stockholders of the corporation
shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect
any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer
of the corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or
modification.
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company further
states that every person who was or is a party to, or is
threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any such
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by the reason of the fact that
he or she, or a person with whom he or she is a legal
representative, is or was a director of the corporation, or
who is serving at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, or is a
representative in a
17
<PAGE>
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be
indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally
permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to
time against all expenses, liability and loss (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be
paid in a settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by
him or her in connection therewith. Such right of
indemnification shall be a contract right which may be enforced
in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of
officers and directors incurred in defending a civil suit or
proceeding must be paid by the corporation as incurred and in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or
proceeding, under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other
right of such directors, officers or representatives may have or
hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such
statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights
of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this article.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

I HAVE AUDITED THE BALANCE SHEET OF CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE
PRODUCTS, INC., AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997,
AND THE RELATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS, STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
AND CASH FLOWS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1997. THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT. MY RESPONSIBILITY IS
TO EXPRESS AN OPINION ON THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASED ON MY
AUDIT.
I CONDUCTED MY AUDIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED
AUDITING STANDARDS. THOSE STANDARDS REQUIRE THAT I PLAN AND
PERFORM THE AUDIT TO OBTAIN REASONABLE ASSURANCE ABOUT WHETHER
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FREE OF MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT. AN
AUDIT INCLUDES EXAMINING, ON A TEST BASIS EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE
AMOUNTS AND DISCLOSURES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION.
AN AUDIT ALSO INCLUDES ASSESSING THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES USED
AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES MADE BY MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS
EVALUATING THE OVERALL FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION. I
BELIEVE THAT MY AUDIT PROVIDES A REASONABLE BASIS FOR MY OPINION.
IN MY OPINION, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REFERRED TO ABOVE
PRESENT FAIRLY, IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS, THE FINANCIAL POSITION
OF CALIFORNIA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INC., AT DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1997, AND THE RESULTS OF ITS OPERATIONS AND CASH
FLOWS FOR THE PERIODS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31,
1997, IN CONFORMITY WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES.
THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED
ASSUMING THE COMPANY WILL CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. AS
DISCUSSED IN NOTE 3 TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE COMPANY
FILED CHAPTER 11 IN 1997 AND HAS SUFFERING RECURRING LOSSES
THROUGH 1996. THIS RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT ITS ABILITY TO
CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN IN REGARD TO
THESE MATTERS ARE ALSO DESCRIBED IN NOTE 3. THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT MIGHT RESULT FROM
THE OUTCOME OF THIS UNCERTAINTY.

NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
This Noncompetition Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of the 12th
day of January, 1999, by and between California Software Corporation, a Nevada
corporation ("Buyer"), and California Software Products, Inc., a California
corporation ("Seller").
RECITALS
A. Buyer and Seller have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated
January 12th, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement") under the terms of which Buyer has
agreed to purchase certain Assets of Seller, all as more fully set forth and
described in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Seller's delivery to Buyer of this Agreement is a condition to Buyer
consummating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Noncompetition.
1.1 Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of five (5)
years from the date hereof, Seller will not engage in or carry on, directly or
indirectly, any business in competition with the business of Buyer relating to
the Assets that are the subject of the Purchase Agreement but only for as long
as such like business is carried on by (i) Buyer or any subsidiary or affiliate
of Buyer or (ii) any person or entity deriving title from Buyer of the Assets,
in any county in which Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates conduct
business, or in any other county or state of the United States, or in any
country or political subdivision of the world.
1.2 The term of the covenants contained in Section 1.1 hereof
shall be tolled for the period commencing on the date any successful action is
filed for injunctive relief or damages arising out of a breach by Seller of
Section 1.1 hereof and ending upon final adjudication (including appeals) of
such action.
1.3 If, in any judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to
enforce all of the covenants contained in Section 1.1 hereof because the time
limit is excessive, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties
hereto that for purposes of such proceeding such time limitation shall be deemed
reduced to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants. If, in
any judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to enforce all of the covenants
contained in Section 1.1 hereof because it is more extensive than necessary to
protect the business and goodwill of Buyer, it is expressly understood and
agreed between the parties hereto that for purposes of such proceeding the
geographic area, scope of business or other aspect shall be deemed reduced to
the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants.
<PAGE>
1.4 Seller covenants and represents that Seller has no
interest in, or claim to, any of the procedures, written technical data,
computer software and related documentation, patents, copyrights, formulas,
methods, practices, statistics, trade secrets, trademarks, trade names, or
service marks relating to the Assets that are the subject of the Purchase
Agreement, and all knowledge or information of a confidential nature acquired at
or before the date hereof with respect to said Assets will be held in confidence
by Seller and will not be disclosed or made public or, except for the benefit of
Buyer, made use of, by or through Seller, directly or indirectly.
2 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY LITIGATION RELATING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT BEFORE AND DETERMINED
BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION WITHIN THE STATE OF NEVADA.
3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between and among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings and
agreements among them respecting the subject matter of this Agreement.
4 Agreement Binding. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effecting during
the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof
shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in
lieu of such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision, there shall be added
automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in nature in its
terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
be legal, valid and enforceable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands this 12th
day of January, 1999.

Every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be

Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board

may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to
time.
ARTICLE II
SHAREHOLDERS
SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall
be held on the first day in the month of October in each year, beginning with
the year 1999, at the hour of one o'clock p.m., for the purpose of electing
Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the

shall not be held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting of the
shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause
the election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon
thereafter as soon as conveniently may be.
SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for
any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called

<PAGE>
SECTION 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the State of Nevada, unless otherwise prescribed
by statute, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special
meeting. A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders entitled to vote at a
meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State of Nevada,
unless otherwise prescribed by statute, as the place for the holding of such
meeting. If no designation is made, the place of the meeting will be the
principal office of the Corporation.
SECTION 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and
hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called, shall unless otherwise prescribed by statute,
be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before
the date of the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such
meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited
in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his/her address as it
appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon
prepaid.
SECTION 5. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record. For the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of
shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a
stated period, but not to exceed in any case fifty (50) days. If the stock
transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall
be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu
of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a
date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in
any case to be not more than fifty (50) days and, in case of a meeting of
shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the
particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken.
If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
14
<PAGE>
shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the
resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the
case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof.
SECTION 6. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the
stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of
the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders or at any
adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the
number of shares held by each. Such list shall be produced and kept open at the
time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any
shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof.
SECTION 7. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a majority of the
outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At
such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally noticed. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
SECTION 8. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder by his/her
duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary
of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting.
SECTION 9. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share entitled to vote
shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting
of shareholders.
SECTION 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares standing in the
name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the
15
<PAGE>
Bylaws of such corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision,
as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an
administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in
person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares
standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a
transfer of such shares into his name.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and the shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted
by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name, if authority to do
so be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and
thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation shall not be
voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
SECTION 11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Unless otherwise provided
by law, any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any
other action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the
subject matter thereof.

notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the notice be given to the telegraph

present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board
of Directors.

may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors
though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise provided
by law. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired
term of his/her predecessor in office. Any directorship to be filled by reason

director may be paid for his/her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting

other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

corporations, provided that such facts are disclosed or made known to the Board
of Directors, prior to their authorizing such transaction. Any director,
personally and individually, may be a party to or may be interested in any
contract or transaction of this Corporation, and no directors shall be liable in
any way by reason of such interest, provided that the fact of such interest be
disclosed or made known to the Board of Directors prior to their authorization
of such contract or transaction, and provided that the Board of Directors shall
authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by the vote (not
counting the vote of any such Director) of a majority of a quorum,

Board of Directors.

4.3 Rent Increase.
4.3.1 At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic Lease
Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph 4.1 of this Lease

this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4.1 of this Lease, shall be multiplied by
a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the calendar month
during which the adjustment is to take effect, and the denominator of which
shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the original Lease term
commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new monthly Base Rent
hereunder, but, in no event, shall such new monthly Base Rent be less than the
Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date for the rent
adjustment.
4.3.3 In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall
be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or
c 1984 American Industrial Real Estate Association Initials:/s/ DSB

<PAGE>
agency or shall be discontinued, then the Index most nearly the same as the
C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculations. In the event that Lessor and
Lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be
submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in the County in
which the Premises are located, in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties, notwithstanding one party failing to appear after due notice of the
proceeding. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee.
4.3.4 Lessee shall continue to pay the rent at the rate previously in
effect until the increase, if any, is determined. Within five (5) days following
the date on which the increase is determined, Lessee shall make such payment to
Lessor as will bring the increased rental current, commencing with the effective
date of such increase through the date of any rental installments then due.
Thereafter the rental shall be paid, at the increased rate.
4.3.5 At such time as the amount of any change in rental required by this
Lease is known or determined, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment to
this Lease setting forth such change.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder. If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all
or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which
Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the
full amount then required of Lessee. If the monthly Base Rent shall, from time
to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, a the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times
bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial security
deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit
separate from Its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit or so much thereof as has not heretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or. at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the

applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term

from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee's
expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of

hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from
that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in
any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises.
Lessee shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit
the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to
create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the

cost, rectify such violation.

Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the
Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,
county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the
use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or restrictions of record, and
accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by
any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied itself
by its own independent investigation that the Premises are suitable for its
intended use, and that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent or agents has made any
representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct of Lessee's
business.

interference with Lessee's business with respect to any improvements,

expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.2 Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost
thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any
maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that
serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to
causes beyond normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of
painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings and to repair or replace any
Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are

(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination,

part or all of the same.

improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable
governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for Use in

materialmen's lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, or any interest therein.
(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to
the commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor shall have
the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the
Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy

contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free

shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person
in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from theft,
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing,
air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places, or
from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of
the Office Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury

for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or
user of the Office Building Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce
the provisions of any other lease of any other lessee of the Office Building

standard office usage for the Office Building Project. Lessor shall require
Lessee to reimburse Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out
of a breach of this subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor may, in its sole discretion.

12.1 Lessors Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation
of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all
or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without
Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold.
Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a timely
manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease, without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include
the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if
Lessee is a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and
loss participation in such partnership.
12.2 Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessors consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be given written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this
Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or subletting shall
release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability
of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder.
(b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending
approval or disapproval of such assignment.
(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or
subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or
conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
(d) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by
third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.
(e) The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or said
sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such
amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Lessee or
sublessee under this Lease or such sublease.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the
performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting of the
Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then
exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall
such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by
Lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false
shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null and void.
12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed
included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated
therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or
hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply
same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, Lessee may receive. collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in
the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.

sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed
and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be
performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.
(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any obligation to
do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under
such sublease.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented, Lessor
agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sublessee.
Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within three (3)
days after service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.

Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, Including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other

substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of
any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed
assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment

payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice

failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee: provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.
(a) (I) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (if) Lessee becoming a "debtor" as
defined In 11 U.S.C. ss.101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the
case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)

Interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1 (a) is contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor
by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Lessee's
obligation hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease
by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter. with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee
shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event
Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor
by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of retailing, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain I on-inn's right to possession in which case this [.ease
shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned
the Promises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, Including the right to recover the rent
as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee
under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the
maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be In default unless Lessor fails to
perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event
later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the
holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name
and address shall have therefore been furnished to Lessee In writing, specifying
wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if
the nature of Lessor's obligation Is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences
performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same
to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums
due hereunder will cause Lessor to Incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
Include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, end late
charges which may be Imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly. if any installment of
Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due. then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Lessee's business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises.
Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Lessee and
no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof.
Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as
of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as a compensation for diminution in value of
the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially

extent of their interest in any commission arising under this Lease and may
enforce that right directly against Lessor; provided, however, that all brokers
having a right to any part of such total commission shall be a necessary party
to any suit with respect thereto.

modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii) there
