commencing  with  taxes and  assessments  levied and  assessed  for the tax year
1977-1978,  prorated as of the date of  possession  of the  additional  facility
premises by Lessee.  Lessor will promptly advise Lessee of all notices,  levies,
and assessments of taxes and other charges respecting the property. Lessee shall
have the right, at its election, to contest in the name of Lessor, or in its own
name, any tax, levy or assessment which Lessee is required to pay hereunder,  in
whole or in part. Lessor shall execute all documents necessary-or appropriate to
effectuate the purposes of this  subparagraph  and to perfect Lessee's rights of
contest.  In the event that taxes are assessed against a parcel or parcels where
the demised  premises  only form a part of such parcel,  Lessee's  liability for
such taxes shall be equitably prorated.

(c) Rental Adjustment.

      (1)  "Adjustment  Base"  shall  be the sum of  Forty-Five  Thousand  Three
      Hundred Seventy-two Dollars ($45,372.00), as may be reduced based upon the
      Lessor's actual cost savings 1n completing the additional facility.

      (2) "Fair rental  value" shall mean the going market rental as of the date
      of any  adjustment  of rent or extension of this  Lease-,  for  equivalent
      space of similar age and  construction by a tenant  proposing to execute a
      Lease  of  five  (5)  years  minimum   term,   and  having  the  financial
      qualifications similar to Lessee's. In determining "fair rental value" the
      parties shall confer in order to reach agreement and in the event they are
      unable to reach agreement,  the matter shall be referred to arbitration by
      one appraiser,  experienced in the evaluation of similar rental properties
      in the County of Santa Clara,  State of  California,  whose  determination
      shall be final for all purposes.

      (3) Any  adjustment  of monthly  base rental  provided for herein shall be
      made in an amount  equal to the lesser of: (i) a sum equal to one  hundred
      percent (1001) of the adjustment  base plus 2.5% of such  adjustment  base
      per year or portion  thereof  during the initial  term of the Lease or any
      extension,  or (ii) a monthly  rental equal to the "fair rental  value" of
      the premises as of the effective date of such  adjustment.  Any adjustment
      in the monthly base rental so determined  shall be the monthly base rental
      for  the  succeeding   period  as  provided  herein.  In  the  event  such
      determination  is made  subsequent  to any date provided for herein as the
      effective date for such adjustment, the adjusted monthly base rental shall
      be  retroactive  to the date  provided  for herein.  In no event shall the
      monthly base rental  during any adjusted  period be lower than the monthly
      base rental during the period immediately preceding such extension.

(d) Adjustment of Base Monthly Rental.  The monthly base rental for the premises
shall be adjusted in  accordance  with  Section 3(c) hereof  effective  June 30,
1985, such adjusted  monthly base rental to be in effect for the remaining seven
and one-half (7 1/2) years of the initial term of this Lease. Thereafter, in the
event Lessee exercises any of its options to renew the monthly base rental shall
adjusted in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof as of the  commencement  date of
any such renewal term.

(e) Taxes:  Should the State of California or any political  subdivision thereof
(including the County of Santa Clara or City of Cupertino) levy or impose a tax,
assessment,  license fee or other charge upon this Lease,  the estate created by
this Lease, or upon the Lessor by reason of its ownership of the fee interest in
the property, or upon the rents or other income of the Lessor from the property,
and such tax, assessment,  license fee or other charge is assessed,  in whole or
in part,  in lieu of property  taxes and  assessments,  the parties shall confer
upon an equitable  allocation of such tax between Lessor and Lessee,  based upon
the  extent to which  Lessor  can  reasonably  establish  that such new tax is a
substitute for real property taxes assessed  against the premises for the fiscal
period next preceding  enactment of the new tax. In the event the parties cannot
agree upon an equitable allocation of such new tax, the issue shall be submitted
to  arbitration  in  accordance  with the  then  current  rules of the  American
Arbitration  Association.  with any  amount  payable  by Lessee and Lessor to be
deemed to be additional rent under the terms of this Lease.

4. Use: The premises may be used by Lessee for any and all lawful purposes,  but
initially  for the  purpose  of  administrative  offices,  data  processing  and
communications  operations.  Lessee  shall  abide by all  laws,  ordinances  and
statutes,  as they now exist or may hereafter be enacted by  legislative  bodies
having jurisdiction thereof,  relating to its use and occupancy of the premises,
provided  that any changes in the laws,  ordinances or statutes of any governing
body thee may be hereafter  enacted shall not be deemed a breach of any covenant
of this lease by Lessee.

5.  Modification  to Premises - Waste:  Lessee  shall not commit or suffer to be
committed  any waste upon the premises,  or any nuisance.  Lessee shall have the
right to construct, alter, modify, or improve any improvements upon the premises
as in its sole  discretion it may deem necessary or appropriate  for its use and
occupancy of the premises, provided that prior to such construction,  alteration
or improvement Lessee shall obtain the written consent of Lessor,  which consent
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  Any consent by Lessor to  construction by
Lessee of alterations or  improvements  to the premises may be conditioned  upon
Lessee's  agreement to remove such  alterations or improvement at the expiration
of this Lease and restore the premises to their original  condition,  subject to
reasonable wear and tear based upon the age of the other improvements.

6. Maintenance of Premises: Subject to any construction guarantees or warranties
by Lessor or its  subcontractors,  Lessee  shall at its sole  expense,  keep and
maintain the premises and appurtenances, including but not limited to sidewalks,
parking areas,  electrical  and air  conditioning  systems,  roof (provided that
Lessor  shall  keep and  maintain  the roof for a period  of the first 24 months
after completion of construction, except for damage caused by the negligent acts
of Lessee),  and interior of the premises in good and sanitary order,  condition
and repair. Further, all water, gas, electricity or other public utility service
used  upon or  furnished  to the  premises  during  the term of the lease or any
extension shall be paid for by Lessee.  Lessee shall maintain and replace,  when
necessary,  any shrubbery,  paving, or landscaping,  provided by Lessor upon the
leased premises.  In the event Lessee's premises are only a portion of the site,
then Lessor  shall  maintain  and replace  when  necessary  any such  facilities
located upon the leased  premises and the cost of such  maintenance,  repair and
replacement  shall be equitably  prorated with the annual cost  reimbursable  to
Lessor  within ten (10) days after Lessor  provides  evidence of payment of such
expenses.  Lessee  waives all right to make  repairs at the expense of Lessor as
provided in Section 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of  California.  Lessor
shall,  at its sole expense,  maintain and repair any defects in the  structural
portions of the buildings comprising the leased premises (e.g.,  concrete walls,
footings,  concrete  slab,  roof  structure),  except  for  any  damage  to  the
structural portions caused by the negligent acts of Lessee.

7. Parking Area: Lessee shall have,  without  additional rental, for the use and
benefit of Lessee, its agents,  employees and customers,  the exclusive right to
use 100% of the  parking  area on the  premises  during the  entire  term or any
extension of the Lease for parking,  ingress,  egress of  automobiles  and other
vehicles. Lessee is to pay any parking use fees, taxes or assessment which might
hereafter be imposed by any Municipal, State of Federal authority.

8.  Damage or  Destruction  of the  Premises:  If either  building  in which the
premises are situated  shall be  substantially  damaged or destroyed  during the
term hereof 'or any cause, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided such
repairs can be made within one hundred eighty (180) days by working in the usual
and  ordinary  manner  under the laws and  regulations  of the State,  County or
municipal  authorities,  but such damage or destruction shall in no way annul or
void this  Lease,  except  that  Lessee  shall be  entitled  to a  proportionate
reduction  of rental  while such  repairs  are being  made,  such  proportionate
reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs  shall
interfere  with the business  carried on by the Lessee in the premises.  If such
repairs  cannot be made in said manner in one hundred  eighty  (180) days,  this
Lease may be  terminated  by either  party upon giving  notice in writing to the
other party on or before said one hundred  eighty (180) days.  Said  termination
shall be effective  thirty (30) days after any party gives such notice.  Whether
or not such  repairs can be made within one hundred  eighty  (180) days,  Lessee
shall in all events be entitled to an  abatement of rental from the time of such
event and during the time such repairs are being made.

9. Condemnation:  If the premises or any portion of the structure shall be taken
under any right of eminent  domain,  or any transfer in lieu  thereof,  and such
taking  renders the leased  premises  unsuitable  in the  judgment of Lessee for
Lessee's business  operations,  Lessee may cancel this lease effective as of the
time of such taking by giving  notice to Lessor  within thirty (30) days of such
taking.  Lessee  shall be entitled to  reimbursement  for the value of any trade
fixtures, equipment and other property installed by it, moving expenses or other
special damages provable in any condemnation action. Lessor shall be entitled to
claim and have paid to it all other  compensation  awarded for the taking  under
the  power of  eminent  domain,  except  that  upon  termination  of this  Lease
agreement  under the provisions of this  paragraph,  Lessee shall be entitled to
have  compensation  from the  condemning  authority  or from the Lessor,  if the
condemning  authority  shall not make a separate award, on account of the value,
if any, of Lessee's interest or leasehold estate as it exists  immediately prior
to such  termination.  In the event that only a part of the premises shall be so
taken,  and the part  not so taken  shall be  sufficient  for the  operation  of
Lessee's  business,  Lessee at its option may retain the part not so taken,  but
the rent shall be proportionately  reduced according to the extent to which such
taking shall interfere with or curtail Lessee's business.

10. Quiet Enjoyment: Lessor, for himself, his successors and
assigns, covenants, represents and warrants to Lessee, its
successors and assigns:

      (a) Lessor has good and  sufficient  title to the leased  property  in fee
      simple  absolute,  free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances,  covenants,
      conditions,  restrictions,  easements,  exceptions  or other  limitations,
      except those covenants, conditions' restrictions,  easements or exceptions
      now of record  and  certain  Deeds of Trust to secure  permanent  mortgage
      loans from Prudential Insurance Company.

      (b) So long as  Lessee  shall  pay its rent and not be in  default  in the
      performance  of any of the  covenants  or  conditions  to be  performed by
      Lessee, or any other obligations not expressly set forth herein, which may
      affect Lessor's fee title or reversionary interest in the leased premises,
      Lessee  shall  freely  and  peaceably  have,  hold and  enjoy the sole and
      exclusive use and enjoyment of he leased property, or any part thereof.

      (c) Lessor will at all times save and hold Lessee free and  harmless  from
      any claim,  demand,  cause of action or other act relating to the title to
      the property,  or any part thereof,  or which  interferes  with the quiet,
      peaceful and exclusive use and  enjoyment of the leased  property,  or any
      part thereof,  including but not limited to reasonable costs and attorneys
      fees incurred by Lessee in defending any such  interference  or threatened
      interference therewith.

11.  Assignment  and  Subletting:  Lessee shall have the full right to assign or
sublet its  interest  in this  Lease,  the  premises,  or any  portion  thereof,
provided  that no such  assignment or  subletting  shall  relieve  Lessee of its
liabilities for the full  performance of this Lease and every  provision  hereof
required to be performed by Lessee.  After the initial term of this Lease and in
the event Lessee  desires to assign or sublet its interest in the Lease,  or any
portion of the  premises,  Lessor shall have the right of first  refusal to take
such  assignment  or  subletting  upon the terms and  conditions  offered by any
sub-lessee and acceptable to Lessee.

12. Events of Default:

(a) By Lessee: The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a material default and breach of this Lease:

      (1) Any  failure by Lessee to pay the rental  when due for a period of ten

      (2) Any failure by Lessee to make any other payment required to be made by
      Lessee  hereunder  within ten (10) days after  written  notice from Lessor
      specifying  in  detail  the  nature  and  amount of such  payment  and the
      obligation for which is not contested by Lessee;

      (3) The  failure  by  Lessee to  perform  any  obligation  of Lessee to be
      performed  by  Lessee  hereunder  for a period of 120 days  after  written

      of Lessee's default; or (4) The making by Lessee of any general assignment
      for the  benefit  of  creditors;  the  filing  by or  against  Lessee of a

      petition  filed against  Lessee,  the same is dismissed  within sixty (60)
      days);  the  appointment  of a  receiver  to  take  possession  of  all or
      substantially  all of Lessee's  assets  located  upon the  premises  where
      possession is not restored to Lessee within sixty (60) days.

b) By Lessor:  The failure by Lessor to perform any  covenant or  obligation  of
Lessor to be performed  hereunder for a period of 120 days after written  notice

such event, Lessor may recover from Lessee:

      (1) The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rental which had been
      earned at the time of such termination; plus

      (2) The worth at the time of the award of the  amount by which the  unpaid
      rental  would have been  earned  after  termination  until the time of the
      award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could have been
      reasonably avoided; plus

      (3) Any other amount necessary to compensate  Lessor for all the detriment
      proximately  caused by Lessee's  failure to perform its obligations  under
      this Lease or which in the  ordinary  course of things  would be likely to
      result  therefrom.  The term  "rental" as used herein  shall mean the base
      rental  required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to
the premises. If Lessor shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Lessor
from such  reletting  shall be applied:  (1) first to the payment of any cost of
such  reletting;  (2) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and repairs
occasioned by such  reletting  upon the premises;  (3) to the payment of rentals
due and unpaid hereunder, with residue, if any, to be held by Lessor and applied
in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable.

d) No  re-entry  or taking  possession  of the  premises  by Lessor  pursuant to
subparagraphs  (b) or (c) hereof  shall be construed as an election to terminate
this  lease,  unless a written  notice of such  intention  is given to Lessee or
unless a termination thereof be decreed by any court of competent  jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding  any reletting  without  termination  by Lessor,  because of any
default  by  Lessee,  Lessor  may at any  time  after  such  reletting  elect to
terminate this lease for such default.

14.  Lessee's  Remedies  Upon  Default:  In the event of any  default  by Lessor
hereunder,  Lessee may (a) perform, or cause to be done or performed, any act or
thing to have been  performed  by Lessor  hereunder  and Lessor  shall  repay to

compensation  to agents or servants of Lessee;  (b) terminate this Lease and all
rights of  Lessor  hereunder  by giving  written  notice  of such  intention  to
terminate  to Lessor;  or (c) with or without  terminating  this Lease,  recover

materials  furnished,  or obligations incurred by either party in respect to the
premises.

located any usual or ordinary  'for sale" signs,  without any rebate in rent and
without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of
the premises thereby occasioned;  and shall permit Lessor and his agents, at any
time within 180 days prior to the  expiration of this lease,  to place upon said
premises  any usual or  ordinary  "To Let" or "To Lease"  signs and  exhibit the
premises to prospective tenants at reasonable hours.

17. Late Charges:  In the event Lessee fails Go pay any  installment or rent due
hereunder  by the  fifteenth  day of each  month when the same is due then there
shall be added to the  monthly  rental a sum equal to two  percent  (21) of said
monthly rental, said sum to represent a late charge to be paid to Lessor.

18.  Hold Over:  Any  holding  over after the  expiration  of the initial or any
exceeded term of this Lease,  with the consent of Lessor,  shall be construed to
be a tenancy from  month-to-month  at a monthly rental equal to the base monthly

be on the same terms and conditions as herein specified, so far as applicable.

19.  Subordination:  Lessee  agrees that this lease shall,  at the option or any
mortgagee  under or  beneficiary  of any  mortgage  or deed of trust that may be
placed upon or against said premises,  be  subordinated to said mortgage or deed

thereby,  and all renewals,  replacements and extensions  thereof,  provided the
mortgage  or trust deed shall agree to  recognize,  if Lessee is not in default,
Lessee's interest  hereunder.  In the event any mortgagee or trustee shall elect
to have this lease prior to the lien of its  mortgage  or trust deed,  upon such
mortgagee or trustee  giving  notice in writing to Lessee to that  effect,  this

shall  execute  and  deliver  whatever  instruments  may be  required  for  such
purposes, and failing to do so within ten (10) days from demand in writing, does
hereby make,  constitute and  irrevocably  appoint Lessor,  or assignee,  as its
attorney  in fact in its name,  place and stead so to do. In the event that this
lease becomes  subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust,  Lessee agrees that

mortgagee,  trustee or beneficiary under any mortgage or deed of trust or to any
purchaser  therefrom  or  successor  thereto,  this  lease,  if Lessee is not in
default  hereunder,  shall not  terminate,  but Lessee  shall attorn to said new
owner  regardless  of any rule of law to the  contrary  or absence of privity of
contract.  Any  subordination  agreement  shall provide that the Lessee's rights
under this lease shall be honored by the mortgagee,  beneficiary, or trustee, as
long as  Lessee is not in  default,  regardless  of  Lessors  default  under the
obligation to which the lease is subordinate.

have and recover from the other its actual court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees to be fixed by the court in such action.

23.  Waiver:  The waiver by either party of any breach or alleged  breach of any
term,  condition,  covenant or agreement herein contained shall not be deemed to
be waiver of such term,  covenant or condition or subsequent breach of the same,
or any other term,  covenant  or  condition  herein  contained.  The  subsequent
acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding breach or alleged breach by Lessee of any tern,  covenant or condition
of this Lease,  other than the failure of Lessee to pay a  particular  rental so
accepted.

premises,  on the basis specified in the Notice. If Lessee fails to exercise its
option within the 30-day period,  Lessor shall have 180 days  thereafter to sell
at the price and upon the terms of sale specified in the notice to Lessee.

30. Option to Purchase: Lessor hereby grants to Lessee an option to purchase the
leased  premises,  which option is conditioned  upon this Lease or any extension
thereof  or  replacement  thereof  being in force and  effect  during the option
period.  Such option period shall  commence on the first day of the 21st year of
this Lease or any  extension  thereof and end on the 366th day  thereafter.  The
price at which the leased  premises  may be  purchased  shall be  determined  by
dividing  the annual net rental  (being an amount  equal to 12 times the monthly
base rental  provided  for in Section 3(a)  hereof,  and not  including  taxes,
repairs,  maintenance,  and other similar items), as adjusted in accordance with
section 3(d) hereof, for the 21st lease year by .085. For example,  if the total
annual net rental for the 21st year of the lease term (as adjusted in accordance
with  Section 3(d)) is $540,000,  then the option  price for the said  premises
would be $6,352,941.

The amount of such purchase price, in full in cash or 5% in cash and the balance
in the form of  commitments  from  lending  institutions,  shall be deposited in
escrow to a title  company of Lessee's  choice within thirty (30) days after the
exercise or said option and said transaction shall close within ninety (90) days
of the  exercise of said option.  Lessee  agrees that it will assume the balance
due of any permanent loan financing  encumbering the leased premises at the time
of closing  such  transaction,  or will (if the same is in  accordance  with the
terms of said loan) pay any prepayment penalty in connection with the early full
payment thereof. This option shall terminate on any sale by Lessor or its heirs,
successors. or assigns to a bona fide purchaser, provided that any such purchase
shall have been made after  Lessor's  compliance  with all of the  provisions of
Paragraph  29 hereof,  and  Lessee has  elected  not to  exercise  its rights to
purchase under the provisions of said Paragraph 29. It is  contemplated  that in
the event Lessor desires to enter into a three-party exchange agreement,  Lessee
will,  to the  extent  that it is not to its  detriment,  cooperate  in any such
three-party exchange,  provided however that under no circumstances shall Lessee
be  responsible  for any expense of any kind or nature in  connection  with such
three-party exchange.

31. Miscellaneous:  Where it is herein provided that the consent of either party
shall be obtained,  it is  understood  and agreed that such consent shall not be
unreasonably  withheld.  This lease and any exhibits  attached hereto constitute
the entire  agreement and  understanding  between the parties,  and shall not be
modified,  changed or amended in any  respect  unless in writing  signed by both
parties.

Dated and effective as set forth above.

thereof  and ending on the 366th day  thereafter  Lessee  shall  have  option to
purchase the  premises.  This option shall  terminate on any sale by Lessor to a
bona fide purchaser,  provided that any such purchase shall have been made after
Lessor's  compliance  with all of the  provisions  of  paragraph 29 of the Lease
"Lessee's  right of first  refusal"  and Lessee has elected not to exercise  its

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter confirms the Agreement between Tymshare, Inc., a corporation (herein
"Tymshare") and you,  relating to the  construction by you and lease by Tymshare
of additional  facilities for Tymshare  corporate  headquarters  on Valley Green
Drive, Cupertino, California.

1. Execution of New Lease.  Attached hereto,  marked Exhibit A, and incorporated
herein by reference,  is a 'arm of Lease to be executed between Tymshare and you
relating to those  facilities  presently leased to Tymshare and those additional
facilities to be constructed pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement. The
new Lease (for a period of fifteen  (15) years,  with three (3) options to renew
for  additional   terms  of  fiche  (5)  years  each)  shall  be  executed  upon
commencement  of  construction  or  the  additional  facilities,  and  shall  be
effective  as of January 1, 1978 or  completion  of  construction,  whichever is
sooner; provided, however, that in the event such additional facilities have not
been completed on or before July 1, 1978, at Tymshare's option, the Lease may be
terminated  and the terms of  Tymshare's  occupancy  of the  presently  occupied
premises  shall be governed by that certain  Lease dated October 24, 1974 by and
between the parties to this letter agreement.

2.  Construction  of  Additional  Facilities.  Upon the execution of this letter
agreement,  you shall,  at your own cost and  expense,  construct or cause to be
constructed in good and workmanlike manner a two-story building of approximately
sixty  thousand  (60,000)  square  feet,  together  with all  necessary  offsite
improvements including paved parking,  sidewalks and landscaping as shown on the
final shell and core plans and  specifications  dated September 22, 1977, and as
revised October 19, 1977. The final interior plans and  specifications  shall be
subject  to  Tymshare's  approval,  which  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld
provided  that  such  final  plans  are  substantially  in  accordance  with the
preliminary  plans.  You will construct the  improvements  detailed on the final
plans  and  continue  the  same  with  diligence  to   completion,   subject  to
intervention  of  causes  and  contingencies  beyond  your  reasonable  control,
including  but  not  limited  to  accidents,  fire,  flood,  inclement  weather,
government actions, strikes or labor disputes,  shortages of, delay and delivery
or  materials,  wars,  riots or civil  insurrection.  Any  changes  in the plans
subject  to  commencement  of  construction  shall be  approved  in  writing  by
Tymshare. In connection with such construction you agree to assume, pay when due
and  indemnify   Tymshare  against  all  costs  and  expenses  involved  in  the
construction  of  the  improvements  shown  on  the  plans  and  specifications,
including the office  improvements.  After  completion and for the period of the
applicable  warranty,  but in no event less than one year,  you shall remedy all
defects due to faulty  workmanship  or materials,  and when  necessary,  at your
expense enforce any warranty, guaranty or bond covering the building, equipment,
systems, service lines or other equipment,  including heating, air conditioning,
ventilating, electrical, mechanical and plumbing fixtures.

3. Cost of Work. As of the commencement of the construction,  you nave estimated
your costs (including land costs, costs of all improvements to be constructed at
this time,  your profit and  overhead) to be the sum of  $2,251,764,  which when
capitalized  at the agreed rate between us results in a base monthly  rental for
the  additional  facilities of  Twenty-Two  Thousand  Eight  Hundred  Fifty-Five
Dollars  ($22,855.00).  To the extent that actual  costs  incurred by you in the
construction  of the  additional  facilities are less than said sum, the monthly
base  rental  shall be  reduced  in an amount  equal to Ten and  15/100  Dollars
($10.15) per month for each One Thousand Dollars  ($1,000.00) or portion thereof
savings  effected.  In no event,  however,  shall  the  monthly  base  rental be
adjusted upward if such costs exceed your estimated figures.

If the foregoing is in  accordance  with our  understanding,  kindly sign in the
place indicated below.

Yours very truly,

TYMSHARE, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This  letter is  intended to confirm the  understanding  and  agreement  between
Tymshare, Inc., a California corporation  ("Tymshare"),  and you relating to the
effect of paragraphs  19, 29 and 30 of that certain Lease dated as of January 6,
1978  between  Tymshare  and you for the  premises  (as  defined in said  Lease)
commonly  known  and  referred  to  as  20705  Valley  Green  Drive,  Cupertino,
California, upon the foreclosure of a deed of trust upon said property.

Tymshare  understands  that upon  completion of  construction  of the additional
facility premises (as defined in said Lease) The Prudential Insurance Company of
America will provide you the permanent  financing for the premises pursuant to a
loan to be secured by a first deed of trust  upon the  property  comprising  the
premises,  said deed of trust to be  executed by you as trustors in favor of The
Prudential Life Insurance Company of America as beneficiary.

Under  paragraph 19 of the Lease,  the Lease may be  subordinated to any deed of
trust placed upon the premises, at the option of the beneficiary of said deed of
trust,  provided  that said deed of trust shall  recognize  Tymshare's  interest
under the Lease if Tymshare i. not in default thereunder,  and provided that any
such  subordination  agreement  shall provide that  Tymshare's  rights under the
Lease shall be honored by the  beneficiary and trustee of any such deed of trust
as long as Tymshare is not in default of the Lease, regardless of any default by
you under the obligation secured by said deed of trust.

Paragraphs 29 and 30 of the Lease give Tymshare a prior right to purchase and an
option to  purchase,  respectively,  the  premises  at such  times and upon such
conditions as set forth therein.

This is to confirm to you that Tymshare  acknowledges and agrees that its rights
under  paragraphs  29  and 30 of  the  Lease  do not  apply  in the  event  of a
foreclosure  of a deed of trust  upon the  premises  (and any  foreclosure  sale
pursuant  thereto),  whether  by  action or under a power of sale in the deed of
trust,  by reason of your  default  in the  obligation  secured  by said deed of
trust. It is understood,  however, that so long as Tymshare is not in default of
the Lease, the Lease shall not be terminated nor shall Tymshare's  possession be
disturbed by reason of your default under or a  foreclosure  of any such deed of
trust, and in the event of a sale, either private or public,  such sale shall be
subject to Tymshare's right to continue in possession and undisturbed  under the
Lease so long as Tymshare is not in default thereunder.

This letter is not intended and shall not be construed to be a  modification  of
or amendment to the Lease,  the terms of which shall  continue to remain in full
force and effect,  but rather is intended  only to clarify the  agreement of the
parties in the event of a foreclosure of a deed of trust upon the premises.

Sincerely,

TYMSHARE, INC.

Amendment #2 thereto, is referred to herein as the "Amended Lease."

RECITALS

A.  Pursuant to the terms of the Amended  Lease,  Lessor  leases to Lessee,  and
Lessee  leases from Lessor the real  property,  together  with all buildings and
appurtenances  thereto  commonly  known as 20605,  20665 and 20705  Valley Green
Drive, Cupertino, California
(the "Premises").

B.  Pursuant  to the terms of  Paragraphs  3(c)(3)  of the  Amended  Lease,  the
adjustment  of monthly base rental is to be an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
one  hundred  percent  (100%) of the monthly  base rental plus two and  one-half
percent (2.5%) of such monthly base rental per year or a portion  thereof during
the initial term of the Amended Lease or any extension, or (ii) a monthly rental
equal to the "fair  rental  value" of the Premises as of the  effective  date of
such  adjustment.  Pursuant to Paragraph 3(d) of the Amended Lease,  the monthly
base rental for the  Premises has been  adjusted in  accordance  with  Paragraph
3(c)(3)(i) thereof effective June 30, 1985, for the remaining seven and one-half
(7-1/2) years of the initial term of the Amended  Lease.  Paragraph 3(d) further
provides that the monthly base rental is to be readjusted  pursuant to Paragraph
3(c)(3) as of the commencement date of any extended term, if exercised.

D. Some  controversy  has arisen  between  Lessor  and Lessee as to whether  the
calculation  of  the  monthly  base  rental  adjustment  pursuant  to  Paragraph
3(c)(3)(i)  of the Amended  Lease should be made using a  compounded  adjustment
rate or a simple adjustment rate.

E.  Lessor  has  requested,  and  Lessee  has  agreed,  that  in  light  of such
Controversy,  the monthly  base rental for the last seven and  one-half  (7-1/2)
years of the initial term of the Amended Lease, and for each exercised  extended
term thereafter, shall be equal to the respective amounts set forth in Paragraph
1 of this Amendment #3.

F.  Accordingly,  Lessor agrees to reimburse  Lessee for the monthly base rental
paid by Lessee in excess of the monthly  base rental which should have been paid
by Lessee as set forth in this Amendment #3 for the period  commencing from July
1, 1985, and ending June 30. 1997.

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions stated
herein, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

1. Rental Adjustment. Paragraph 3(c)(3)(i) of the Amended Lease shall be amended
by  deleting  the  entirety  thereof and  substituting  therefor  the  following
amounts:

shall reimburse to Lessee no later than five (5) days following the execution of
this  Amendment  #3 the sum of  Nine  Thousand  Eight  Hundred  Sixteen  Dollars
($9,816)  constituting  the  difference  between the monthly base rental paid by
Lessee  and the  monthly  base  rental  which  should  have  been paid by Lessee
pursuant to Paragraph 1 above for the period commencing July 1, 1985, and ending
June 30, 1987.

3.  Affirmation  of Amended  Lease.  Except as  provided  herein,  the terms and
conditions of the Amended Lease (and exhibits  thereto) shall remain  unmodified
and in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of
the Amended  Lease (and the exhibits  attached  thereto) and this  Amendment #3,
with regard to Paragraph 3(c)(3)(i),  this Amendment #3 shall control. 4. Entire
Agreement.  This Amendment #3 is the entire  agreement  between the parties with
regard to Paragraph 3(c)(3)(i). This Amendment #3 supersedes and cancels any and
all previous negotiations,  arrangements, agreements and understandings, whether
written or oral,  between  Lessor and its agents and Lessee and its agents  with
respect Paragraph  3(c)(3)(i) only. No addition to, or modification of, any term
or provision of this Amendment #3 shall be effective  until and unless set forth
in a written instrument signed by both Lessor and Lessee.

5.  Attorneys'  Fees.  If any action or  proceeding  is commenced to enforce the
provisions of this Amendment #3, the prevailing  party in such action shall have
the right to recover from the other party its  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  in
addition to costs and expenses of litigation.

6.  Counterparts.  This  Amendment #3 may be executed in  counterparts,  each of
which shall be deemed an original,  all of which together  shall  constitute one
agreement.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Lessor and Lessee have executed this  Amendment #3 on this
1st day of July, 1987.

December,  l987, and ending on the 30th day of November, l991, at the total rent
or sum of EIGHT  HUNDRED,  FORTY TWO  THOUSAND,  FOUR  HUNDRED  DOLLARS & 00/100

portion of the monthly installment.

LATE CHARGES

Lessee  hereby  acknowledges  that late  payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and

and late charges, which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent 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,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor
a late charge  equal to five (5%) percent 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 Lessor's
default with respect to such overdue amount.  nor prevent Lessor from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

IT IS FURTHER MUTUALLY AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

POSSESSION

1. If Lessor, for any reason  whatsoever,  cannot deliver possession of the said
premises  to  Lessee  at the  commencement  of the said  term,  as  hereinbefore
specified,  this lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable
to Lessee  for an,  loss or damage  resulting  therefrom;  but in that event the
commencement  and  termination  dates of the lease and all other dates  affected
thereby  shall be  revised  to  conform  to the  date of  Lessor's  delivery  of
possession.  The above is however,  subject to the provision  that the period of
delay of delivery  of the  premises  shall not exceed  Thirty (30) days from the
commencement  date  herein.  If the  period  of delay of  delivery  exceeds  the
foregoing,  Lessee,  at his or its option,  may cancel this Lease and declare it
null and void. Provided further, that if under this Lease, Lessor is required to
do any  construction  or remodeling  work, then the date on which the Lessee has
the right to cancel  shall be  extended  to a later  date by a number of working
days equal to the number of working days during which work  necessary to prepare
the premises for occupancy is delayed by changes  requested by Lessee,  strikes,
boycott, shortage of materials, governmental regulations affecting construction,
acts of God, inclement weather preventing construction,  or other events of like
nature beyond the control and without the  negligence  of Lessor.  If under this
Lease  Lessor is  required  to do any  construction  or  remodeling  work,  then
possession  shall not be deemed tendered and the term shall not start, nor shall
any rentals commence under this Lease,  until the earlier of the following shall
have  occurred:  (a) A  Certificate  of  Occupancy  is  granted  by  the  proper
governmental  agency or, if no  Certificate  of Occupancy be issued by any local
agency,  then upon  certification  by Lessor's  architect or contractor that the

for business.

suspended  ceilings and any carpeting  are to be cleaned.  Lessee also agrees to
surrender unto Lessor all alterations,  additions,  and  improvements  which may
have been made in, to, or on the  premises by Lessee,  except that Lessee  shall
ascertain from Lessor within thirty (30) days before the end of the term of this
lease whether  Lessor  desires to have the premises or any part or parts thereof
restored to their  condition  as of the  commencement  of this Lease;  if Lessor
shall so desire,  then Lessee shall  restore said premises or such part or parts
thereof before the  termination of this Lease at Lessee's sole cost and expense.

considered property of Lessor. Lessee on or before the end of the term or sooner
termination  of this Lease,  shall remove all his or its  personal  property and
trade  fixtures  from the  premises,  and all property  not so removed  shall be
deemed to be abandoned by Lessee.  If the premises be not surrendered at the end

premises including without limitation,  any claims made by any succeeding tenant

term from any cause,  Lessor  shall  forthwith  repair the same,  provided  such
repairs  can be made  within One  Hundred  Eighty  (180) days under the laws and

paragraph, they shall each select an arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected

and  determine the  controversy  and their  decision  thereon shall be final and
binding upon both Lessor and Lessee, who shall bear the cost of such arbitration
equally between them.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

20. Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any interest  therein,  and shall not
sublet  the  said  premises  or any part  thereof,  or any  right  or  privilege
appurtenant  thereto,  or suffer  any other  person (a bona fide  subsidiary  or
affiliate of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the said premises, or any portion
thereof,  without the written  consent of Lessor first had and  obtained,  and a
consent to one  assignment,  subletting,  occupation or use by any other person,
shall not be deemed to be a consent to any  subsequent  assignment,  subletting,
occupation or use by another person.  Any such assignment or subletting  without
such consent shall be void,  and shall,  at the option of the Lessor,  terminate
this Lease,  providing Lessor has not unreasonably  withheld such consent.  This
Lease  shall not,  nor shall any  interest  therein,  be  assignable,  as to the
interest of Lessee,  by operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor.
If Lessee  desires to assign  its rights  under this Lease or to sublet all or a
portion of the demised  premises to a party other than a bona fide subsidiary or
affiliate of Lessee,  Lessee shall first notify Lessor of the proposed terms and
conditions  of such  assignment  or  subletting.  Lessor shall have the right of
first refusal to enter into a direct Lessor-Lessee  relationship with such party
under  such  proposed  terms and  conditions.  in which  event  Lessee  shall be
relieved  of its  obligations  hereunder  to  the  extent  of the  Lessor-Lessee
relationship  entered into between Lessor and such third party.  Lessee does not
need Lessor's  approval if Lessee is subletting less than 50% (fifty percent) of
the premises.


CONDEMNATION

21. If any part of the  premises  shall be taken for any public or  quasi-public
use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  a  part  thereof  remains  which  is  susceptible  of  occupation
hereunder,  this Lease shall as to the part so taken,  terminate  as of the date
title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser,  and the rent pay able hereunder
shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the  remainder
of the term only such  portion  of such rent as the value of the part  remaining
after  such  taking  bears to the  value of the  entire  premises  prior to such
taking;  but in such event  Lessor or Lessee  shall have the option to terminate
this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor
or  purchaser.  If all of the  premises,  or such part  thereof be taken so that
there does not remain, portion susceptible for occupation hereunder,  this Lease
shall  thereupon  terminate.  If a part  or all of the  premises  be  taken  all
compensation  awarded  upon such  taking  shall go to the  Lessor and the Lessee
shall have no claim thereto.

EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE

22. The term  "Lessor" as used in this Lease.  means only the owner for the time
being of the land and building,  containing the promises,  so that, in the event
of any  sale of said  land  or  building,  or in the  event  of a Lease  of said
building,  the Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely  freed and relieved of all
covenants and  obligations of the Lessor  hereunder,  and it shall be deemed and
construed,  without further  agreement  between the parties and the purchaser at
any such sale,  or the Lessee o! the  building,  that the purchaser or Lessee of
the  building  has  assumed  and agreed to carry out any and all  covenants  ant
obligations of the Lessor  hereunder.  It any security be given by the Lessee to
secure the faithful  performance  of all or any o the covenants of this Lease on
the part of Lessee,  the Lessor may transfer and deliver the security,  as such,
to the purchaser at any such sale or the Lessee of the  building,  and thereupon
the Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.

23. This Lease,  in the event  Lessor so  notifies  Lessee in writing,  shall be
subordinate  to any  ground  Lease,  deed of trust or  other  hypothecation  for
security  now or hereafter  placed upon the real  property of which the Premises
are a part and to any and all  advances  made on the  security  thereof  and too
renewals,  modifications,  replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees to
promptly  execute any reasonable  documents  which may be required to effectuate
such subordination.  Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet
possession  of the  Premises  shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default
and so long as Lessee  shall pay the rent and  observe  and  perform  all of the
provisions of this Lease.

WAIVER

24.  The  waiver by Lessor of any  breach of any term,  covenant  or  condition,
herein  contained  shall not be deemed to be waiver of such  term,  covenant  or
condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,  covenant or
condition  therein  contained.  The  subsequent  acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any  preceding  breach by Lessee of
any term,  covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee
to pay the particular  rental so accepted,  regardless of Lessor's  knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

HOLDING OVER

25. Any holding over after the expiration of the said term,  with the consent of
Lessor,  shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month,  at a rental to
be  negotiated by Lessor and Lessee prior to the  expiration  of said term,  and
shall  otherwise  be on the terms and  conditions  herein  specified,  so far as
applicable, not to exceed 125% of rent.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

26.  The  covenants  and  conditions  herein  contained  shall,  subject  to the
provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors,

a statement  in writing  certifying  that this Lease is  unmodified  and in full
force and effect (or, if modified,  stating the nature of such modification) and
the date to which the rent and other  charges are paid in advance,  if any,  and
acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Lessor  hereunder or  specifying  such defaults if they are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective  purchaser
or  encumbrances  of the Premises.  Lessee's  failure to deliver such  statement
within such time shall be  conclusive  upon the Lessee that (a) this Lease is in
full force and effect,  without  modification  except as may be  represented  by
Lessor; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Lessor's performance.

TIME

28. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

MARGINAL CAPTIONS

29. The marginal  headings or titles to the  paragraphs  of this Lease are not a
part  of  this  Lease  and  shall  have  no  effect  upon  the  construction  or
interpretation  of  any  part  thereof.  This  instrument  contains  all  of the

modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by
all of the parties hereto or their respective  successors in interest.  Articles

which the  premises  are  located are totally or  partially  destroyer  from any
cause,  rendering  the premises  totally or partially  inaccessible  or unusable
Lessee shall  restore the premises or the  building  and other  improvements  in
which the premises are in immediately before destruction.

2. Option to Extend

a. Option. At the expiration of the original term hereof,  Lessee may extend the
term  of  this  Lease  for an  additional  period  of  twenty-four  (24)  months
commencing  immediately  following the Expiration  Date (the  "Extended  Term").
Lessee  shall  exercise  this  option,  if at all,  by giving  Lessor  notice of
Lessee's  intention to do so at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
Expiration  Date.  In no event  shall any  purported  exercise of such option by
Lessee be effective  if an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph  14) exists
at the time of such  exercise or at the time the Extended  Term would  otherwise
have commenced. Such Extended Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions
hereof,  except that the monthly rental and method of rental  adjustment for the
Extended  Term shall be  determined  as set forth  below.  The option  rights of
Lessee under this  paragraph are granted for Lessee's  personal  benefit and may
not be assigned or transferred by Lessee.

b. Extended Term Rent. As of the  commencement of the Extended Term, the monthly
rent for the Extended Term shall be subject to  negotiation  between  Lessor and
Lessee,  with an effort to determine a fair market rental for the  Premises,  as
improved.  In the event the parties fail to agree upon the amount of the monthly
rent for the Extended Term prior to commencement  thereof,  the monthly Rent for
the Extended Term shall be  determined by appraisal in the manner  hereafter set
forth;  provided,  however,  that in no event  shall  the  monthly  rent for the
Extended Term be less than the monthly Rent payable  hereunder for the last full
month of the Lease term immediately preceding commencement of the Extended Term.

In the event it becomes  necessary  under this  paragraph to determine  the fair
market  monthly  rent and the method of rental  adjustment  of the  Premises  by
appraisal,  Lessor and Lessee  each shall  appoint a real estate  appraiser  who
shall be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers  ("AIREA")
and such  appraisers  shall each  determine the fair market monthly rent for the
Premises,  and the method of rental  adjustment taking into account the value of
the Premises and the amenities  provided by the Outside Areas,  the Common Areas
and the  Building  and  prevailing  comparable  rentals  and  rental  adjustment
practices in the area. Such appraisers  shall,  within twenty (20) business days
after their  appointment,  complete their  appraisals and submit their appraisal
reports to Lessor and Lessee.  If the fair market  monthly  rent of the Premises
established in the two (2) appraisals varies by five percent (5%) or less of the
higher rental, the average of the two shell be controlling.  If said fair market
monthly rent varies by more than five percent  (5%) of the higher  rental,  said
appraisers,  within ten (10) days after submission of the last appraisal,  shall
appoint a third  appraiser who shall be a member of the AIREA and who shall also
be  experienced  in the appraisal of rental value and  adjustment  practices for
commercial  properties  in the vicinity of the  Premises.  Such third  appraiser
shell  within  twenty (20)  business  days after his  appointment,  determine by
appraisal the fair market  monthly rent of the Premises  sating into account the
same factors  referred to above,  and submit his appraisal  report to Lessor and
Lessee.  The fair market monthly rent  determined by the third appraiser for the
Premises  shall be  controlling,  unless  it is less  than that set forth in the
lower appraisal previously  obtained,  in which case the value set forth in said
lower  appraisal  shall be  controlling,  or unless it is greater  than that set
forts in the higher appraisal  previously  obtained in which case the rental set
forth in said higher  appraisal  shall be  controlling.  The method of adjusting
rental periodically,  including the manner and timing of such adjustments, shall
be as  determined  by the  initial  two  appraisers,  if they  agree on a single
method;  otherwise,  it shall be as determined by the third appraiser. If either
Lessor or Lessee fails to appoint an appraiser,  or if an appraiser appointed by
either of them fails,  after his appointment to submit his appraisal  within the
requited period in accordance with the foregoing, the appraisal submitted by the
appraiser  properly  appointed  and timely  submitting  his  appraisal  shall be
controlling.  If the two appraisers appointed by Lessor and Lessee are unable to
agree upon a third  appraiser  within the required period in accordance with the
foregoing,  application  shall be made  within  twenty (20) days  thereafter  by
either Lessor or Lessee to AIREA, which shall appoint a member of said institute
willing  to  serve  as  appraiser.   The  cost  of  all  appraisals  under  this
subparagraph  shall be borne  equally  by Lessor  and  Lessee.  The rent for the
Extended Term will be equal to 92.5% the above fait market monthly rent.

c. Second Option to Extend.  Provided Lessee has timely  exercised the option to
extend  provided  in  subparagraph  a above,  Lessee may extend the term of this
Lease  for  one  additional   period  of  twenty-four  (24)  months   commencing
immediately  following  the last day of the first  Extended  Term  (the  "Second
Extended Term").  Lessee shall exercise this option, if at all, by giving Lessor
notice of Lessee's  intention  to do so at least one hundred  twenty (120) darts
prior to the date of  expiration  of the  Extended  Term.  In no event shall any
purported  exercise of such option by Lessee be effective if an Event of Default
(as definer in paragraph 14.1 exists at the time of such exercise or at the time
the Second  Extended Term would have otherwise  commenced.  The Second  Extended
Term  shall be upon all of the  terms  and  conditions  hereof  except  that the
monthly rent and method of rental  adjustment for the Second Extended Term shall
be determined in accordance  smith the  provisions of paragraph b, assuming that
"Extended Term" as used in said  subparagraph  means the "Second Extended Term."
Unless  expressly  mentioned  and  approved  in the  written  consent  of Lessor
referred to in  Paragraph  20 of this Lease,  the option  rights of Lessee under
this paragraph are granted for Lessee's personal benefit and may not be assigned
or transferred by Lessee.

33. Taxes  Lessee,  at its cost,  shall have the right,  at ant time,  to seek a
reduction  in the  assessed  valuation  of the  premises  or to contest any real
property  taxes that are to be paid by Lessee.  If Lessee  seeks a reduction  or
contests the real property  taxes,  the failure on Lessee's part to pay the real
property  taxes shall not  constitute a default as long as Lessee  complies with
the provisions of this paragraph and posts a bone or Letter of Credit payable to
Lessor for all  delinquent  taxes and  proposed  penalties.  Lessor shall not be
required  to join in any  proceeding  or contest  brought  by Lessee  unless the
provisions of any law requires  that the  proceeding or contest be brought by or
in the name of Lessor or any owner of the premises.  In that case,  Lessor shall
join in the proceeding or contest or permit it to be brought in Lessor's name as
long as Lessor is not required to bear any cost. Lessee, on final  determination
of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any decision or
judgment  rendered,  together  with all costs,  changes,  interest and penalties
incidental  to the  decision or  judgment.  Outing the initial four year term of
this lease, but not during any option extensions,  Apple shall. not be obligated
to pay for any  property  tax  increases  that incur as the  direct  result of a
transfer or the property from one entity  controlled  by Berg to another  entity
controlled by Berg.  This clause is null and void if Lessor should sell property
to an  independent  third  party.  Tax bills will be sent to the  address in the
Notice section, Article #17.

If at any time  during  the term of this lease a tax or excise on rents or other
tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Lessor, as a substitute in
whole or in part for real  property  taxes  assessed or imposed on the  premises
Lessee  shall pay before  delinquency  such tax or excise on rents or such other
tax to the  extent  that  such  tax or  excise  on rents  or such  other  tax is
substitute in whole or in part for real property  taxes on the premises.  In the
event that a tax:, or excise on rents is levied or assessed against Lessor, as a
substitute  in whole or in part for taxes  assessed or imposed on the  premises,
and the taxing authority takes the position that Lessee cannot pay and discharge
such tax on behalf  or  Lessor,  then at the  election  of  Lessor,  Lessor  may
increase the rent charged  hereunder by the exact portion of such tax which is a
substitute  in whole or in part for real  property  taxes on the  premises,  and
Lessee  agrees to pay said portion in  additional  rent.  Lessor agrees that the
additional rents if any, collected per this paragraph 33 shall not be subject to
the  incremental  rental  increases as provided in Paragraph 32. Lessee  further
agrees  to pay any  sewer or water  usage  fees or  taxes  that may be  assessed
against the property as a result of Lessee's usage of Premises.

                                    SUBLEASE
1. Parties.  This Sublease ("Sublease") is entered into by and between McDONNELL
DOUGLAS CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation  ("Sublessor"),  and APPLE COMPUTER,
INC., a California corporation  ("Sublessee"),  as a sublease under that certain
Lease  ("Lease")  dated  January 6, 1978,  as amended by that certain  letter of
clarification,  dated February 17, 1978; Amendment ("Amendment"),  dated January
30, 1979;  Amendment #2 ("Amendment #2"), dated March 17, 1979; and Amendment #3
("Amendment  #3"), dated July 1, 1987  (collectively  the "Master Lease") by and
between JOHN A.  SOBRATO and SUSAN R.  SOBRATO,  as to an  undivided  forty-five
percent (45%)  interest,  and CARL E. BERG and MARY ANN BERG, as to an undivided
forty-five  percent  (45%)  interest,  and ANN RUSSO as to a ten  percent  (10%)
interest, predecessor in interest of the current lessor thereunder, Carl E. Berg
and Mary Ann Berg, as trustees on behalf of the Berg Living Trust UTA, dated May
1, 1981, as to an undivided 81.01% interest, Clyde Berg and Nancy Berg, Trustees
of the Clyde Berg Living Trust, UTA, dated December 17, 1981, as to an undivided
11.83% interest,  and Clyde Berg,  Trustee of Carl Berg Child's Trust UTA, dated
June 2, 1978, as to an undivided 7.16% interest ("Lessor"),  and TYMSHARE, INC.,
predecessor in interest of Sublessor,  as lessee.  A copy of the Master Lease is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof,  subject to the terms and
conditions of this Sublease.

2. Subordination; Defaults: Provisions Constituting Sublease.

2.1  Subordination;  Default under Master Lease.  As between the parties to this
Sublease, this Sublease is subject and subordinate in all respects to the Master
Lease,  and to the matters to which the Master Lease is subject and  subordinate
in  accordance  with its terms,  and to those  amendments to the Master Lease or
supplemental  agreements  thereunder made between  Sublessor and Lessor which do
not adversely affect or diminish  Sublessee's  rights, or materially  enlarge or
alter Sublessee's obligations or duties under this Sublease. Sublessee covenants
and agrees to refrain from doing or causing to be done, or permitting  any party
under its control to act in a manner, (i) which would constitute a default under
the Master  Lease or cause the Master Lease or the rights of Sublessor as lessee
under the Master Lease to be cancelled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or
(ii) which would make Sublessor liable for any damages,  claims or penalty under
the Master  Lease.  Sublessor  shall use  reasonable  efforts to cause Lessor to
perform  its  obligations  under  the  Master  Lease;  provided,  however,  that
Sublessor  shall have no liability  of any nature  whatsoever  to Sublessee  and
Sublessee  shall have no  liability of any nature  whatsoever  to Sublessor as a
consequence of Lessor's failure or delay in performing its obligations under the
Master Lease, including without limitation,  Lessor Is breach of the covenant of
quiet  enjoyment  set  forth  in  Paragraph  10  of  the  Master  Lease  or  the
non-disturbance  provisions of Paragraph 19 of the Master Lease. If Lessor shall
be in default under the Master Lease in any of its  obligations  to Sublessor or
in any of its  obligations to Sublessee,  if any,  Sublessee  shall,  by written
notice to Sublessor,  specify any such default by Lessor,  and Sublessor  shall,
after receiving such notice, either (i) take

                               - 1 -


<PAGE>


action for the enforcement of Sublessor's  rights against Lessor with respect to
such  default as described in this  Paragraph  2.1 above,  or (ii) cure any such
default to the extent permitted  pursuant to the provisions of the Master Lease.
Sublessee shall be entitled to participate  with Sublessor in the enforcement of
Sublessor's rights against Lessor (and in any recovery or relief obtained to the
extent the parties'  respective  rights or  interests  are affected or costs are
incurred).  One-half  (1/2) of all expenses  incurred by Sublessor in connection
with its efforts to cause  Lessor to perform said  obligations  shall be paid to
Sublessor by Sublessee upon demand, as Charges (defined in Paragraph 5.4 below).
If Sublessee wishes to pursue Lessor's failure to perform its obligations  under
the Master  Lease in addition  to  Sublessor's  reasonable  pursuit of the same,
then,  provided  such action  would not  constitute  a default  under the Master
Lease,  Sublessee shall have the right to take  enforcement or self-help  action
against  Lessor in its own name or in the name of Sublessor and at its sole cost
and expense and, for that purpose and only to such extent,  all of the rights of
Sublessor to enforce or perform the obligations of Lessor under the Master Lease
are  hereby  conferred  upon and for this  purpose  assigned  to  Sublessee  and
Sublessee  hereby is  subrogated  to such rights  (including  the benefit of any
recovery or relief).  Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from
and against all loss, cost, liability,  claims,  damages and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees),  penalties and fines incurred in
connection with or arising from the taking of any such action by Sublessee.

Sublessee's  obligations  hereunder (including without limitation the obligation
of Sublessee to pay all Rent (defined in Paragraph 5.1 below) and Charges) shall
not be  impaired  nor shall the  performance  thereof be excused  because of any
failure or delay on Lessor's part in performing its obligations under the Master
Lease unless (i) such failure or delay results from Sublessor's being in default
under  the  Master  Lease and  Sublessor's  default  thereunder  is not due to a
default of  Sublessee  hereunder,  or (ii) such  failure or delay  results  from
Sublessor's willful misconduct.  Under no circumstances shall Sublessee have the
right to require  performance  by Sublessor of Lessor's  obligations.  Sublessor
shall have no right to terminate  the Master  Lease,  unless an Event of Default
(defined  in  Paragraph  16.1 below)  occurs  hereunder  or except as  otherwise
provided in this Sublease.  In the event of such a permitted  termination of the
Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate concurrently therewith,  without any
liability of Sublessor to Sublessee.  2.2 Provisions  Constituting Sublease. All
of the terms and  conditions  contained  in the  Master  Lease are  incorporated
herein,  except for Paragraphs 1, 2, 3(a),  3(c),  3(d), 3(e), 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14,  17,  18, 19, 20, 25, 28, 29, 30, and 31 of the Lease,  Article 2 of the
Amendment  and all of the  provisions of Amendment #2 and Amendment #3, as terms
and conditions of this Sublease  (with (i) each reference  therein to lessor and
lessee  to be  deemed  to refer to  Sublessor  and  Sublessee,  except  that all
references to 'Lessor" in Paragraph 5 of the Master Lease shall mean both Lessor
and  Sublessor and those  obligations  of Lessor set forth in Paragraph 6 of the
Master Lease shall remain the obligations of Lessor,  and (ii) each reference to
"Lease" to be deemed to refer to

                               - 2 -


<PAGE>


Sublease) and along with all of the paragraphs  set out in this Sublease,  shall
be the complete terms and conditions of this Sublease.  The parties  acknowledge
that to the extent the  provisions  contained in Paragraphs 10, 14, 19 and 31 of
the Master Lease are covenants running with the land, such covenants shall inure
to the benefit of, and Sublessee shall derive the benefit from such  provisions,
notwithstanding  that such provisions are not  incorporated  into this Sublease.
The enforcement provisions of Paragraph 2.1 above shall apply if Lessor breaches
any of the covenants in Paragraphs 10, 14, 19 and 31 of the Master Lease.

3. Premises.

3.1 Subleased Premises.  Sublessor leases to Sublessee and Sublessee leases from
Sublessor the premises  described in Paragraph 1 of the Master Lease, as amended
by Article 1 of the Amendment ("Premises").

3.2 As Is. The parties acknowledge that Sublessee intends to remove the existing
interior improvements from the Premises and to install new interior improvements
in accordance  with conceptual  plans and explanatory  detail to be developed by
Sublessee ("Tenant  Improvements").  Sublessee shall use good faith,  reasonable
efforts to submit said conceptual  plans and explanatory  detail to Sublessor no
later than November 15, 1987 for Sublessor's and Lessor's approval in accordance
with  Paragraph 5 of the Master  Lease.  This Sublease is  conditioned  upon the
written  consent or approval of Sublessor  and Lessor having been obtained on or
before  December 15, 1987 to the  conceptual  plans and  explanatory  detail for
Tenant Improvements,  in addition to Lessor's and Sublessor's concurrent consent
to  allowing  substantially  all of the  Tenant  Improvements  to  remain in the
Premises upon  surrender of the Premises by Sublessee and by Sublessor.  If, for
any reason,  Lessor's consent to the conceptual plans and explanatory  detail is
not obtained on or before  December 15, 1987,  either party may  terminate  this
Sublease;  provided,  however, that Sublessee shall nevertheless be obligated to
pay Rent and Charges through the later to occur of (i) December 31, 1987 or (ii)
the date the Premises are surrendered to Sublessor.

Sublessee  agrees to accept  the  Premises  and  appurtenances  thereto in their
existing "As Is" condition as of the Effective Date (defined  immediately  above
the  signatures  of the  parties),  subject  to the  limitations  set  forth  in
Paragraph 3.3 below.  Sublessor  acknowledges  that Sublessee has no interest in
subleasing  the  Premises  if  Sublessee  is unable to remodel  the  Premises to
accommodate  Sublessee's  intended use.  Accordingly,  Sublessee  shall have the
right to terminate  this Sublease by delivery of written notice to Sublessor (i)
on or before November 20, 1987 if Sublessee  determines that Hazardous Materials
(defined in Paragraph  28.1 below) are  discovered in the Premises or (ii) on or
before December 1, 1987 if Sublessee  reasonably  believes that  notwithstanding
good  faith  efforts  it will be  unable  to obtain a  building  permit  for the
remodeling  of the  Premises b;  February  15,  1988.  Subject to the  foregoing
conditions,  by taking  possession  of the  Premises  on the  Commencement  Date
(defined in Paragraph 4.1 below), Sublessee shall be deemed to have accepted the
Premises as being in good and sanitary  order,  condition and repair and to have
accepted the Premises in

                               - 3 -


<PAGE>


their  condition  existing  as of the date  Sublessee  takes  possession  of the
Premises, subject to all applicable laws, covenants,  conditions,  restrictions,
easements and other matters of public record. Sublessee acknowledges that (i) it
has conducted all investigations, tests and studies concerning the Premises that
Sublessee  deems  appropriate  and  material to its  decision  to  sublease  the
Premises,  including  tests  and  investigations  concerning  the  existence  of
Hazardous Materials in and about the Premises; and (ii) that it has no knowledge
of the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises,  except as otherwise
disclosed by Sublessee to  Sublessor  in writing.  Sublessee  acknowledges  that
except as provided in Paragraph 3.3,  neither  Sublessor nor Sublessor's  agents
have made any  representation  or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises
for the conduct of Sublessee's  business,  the condition of the Premises, or the
use or occupancy which may be made and Sublessee has independently  investigated
and is satisfied that the Premises are suitable for Sublessee's intended use and
that the Premises meet all governmental requirements for such intended use.

On the Commencement  Date,  Sublessor shall deliver  exclusive  occupancy of the
Premises to Sublessee free of all personal property and trade fixtures belonging
to Sublessor.

3.3 Sublessor's Warranty. Sublessor represents,  warrants and covenants that the
Premises and  everything  contained  therein for which  Sublessor is responsible
pursuant to the terms and  conditions  of the Master  Lease,  including  but not
limited to all equipment,  systems and other  component  parts thereof,  were in
good and clean  condition  and repair,  reasonable  wear and tear  excepted,  on
September  24,  1987.   Sublessor  further   represents  and  warrants  that  to
Sublessor's  knowledge  the  portion  of the  Premises  for which the  Lessor is
responsible pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease are in good
and  clean  condition  and  repair,  reasonable  wear and tear  excepted  on the
Effective  Date. To Sublessor's  knowledge,  Sublessor has provided to Sublessee
all information,  data,  documents,  plans,  specifications  and other materials
within the  possession,  or under the control of,  Sublessor  regarding  (i) the
existence  of  Hazardous  Materials,  if any, on the  Premises,  and (ii) to the
extent that Sublessee has requested such  information in writing,  the Premises,
its  design  and  physical  condition,  its  compliance  with  applicable  laws,
ordinances,  rules and regulations,  and other material matters,  and all of the
material  provided  to  Sublessor  in  accordance  with the  foregoing  has been
complete,  true and  correct  originals,  or copies  thereof.  As to the  future
condition of the Premises,  Sublessor  shall assign to Sublessee any  warranties
Sublessor  holds with respect to the Premises,  including,  without  limitation,
warranties for any equipment, systems and other component parts thereof.

3.4  Alterations by Sublessee.  Pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Master Lease,  as
incorporated  into this  Sublease,  Lessor and  Sublessor  may  condition  their
consent to the making of any  alterations,  improvements or modifications to the
Premises upon Sublessee's agreement to remove the same upon its surrender of the
Premises.  Following Sublessor s receipt of Sublessee's plans and specifications
for  the  making  of  any  alterations,  improvements  or  modifications  to the
Premises,  Sublessor  shall  submit the same to Lessor for its  consent  and use
reasonable efforts to obtain Lessor's consent

                               - 4 -


<PAGE>


and  concurrently  obtain  Lessor's  decision  as  to  whether  the  alteration,
improvement  or  modification  must be removed  upon  termination  of the Master
Lease.  If Sublessor  consents to any alteration,  improvement or  modification,
Sublessor  shall  advise  Sublessee  as to whether  Sublessor  may  require  the
alteration,  improvement  or  modification  to be removed from the Premises upon
termination  of the Sublease  Term.  If  Sublessor  advises  Sublessee  that any
alteration,  improvement  or  modification  may  remain  in  the  Premises  upon
termination of the Sublease Term,  Sublessor shall be bound by such decision and
may not thereafter revoke or change such decision. All alterations, improvements
or modifications made to the Premises by Sublessee, including without limitation
the Tenant  Improvements,  shall  remain the  property of  Sublessee  during the
Sublease Term, but those improvements which are to remain at surrender shall not
be altered or removed  from the Premises  prior to the end of the Sublease  Term
(except on compliance with the provisions of this  Sublease),  and at the end of
the Sublease Term, shall become  Sublessor's  property  without  compensation to
Sublessee by Sublessor or be removed by Sublessee in  accordance  with the terms
of Paragraph 20 below.

4. Term.

4.1 Sublease  Term. The term of this Sublease  ("Sublease  Term") shall be for a
period of one hundred twenty-two (122) months,  subject to extension pursuant to
the terms of Paragraph 4.2 below,  commencing on November 1, 1987 ("Commencement
Date") and ending on December 31, 1997.

With respect to the initial Sublease Term, Sublessee  acknowledges that pursuant
to  Paragraph  2 of the Master  Lease,  the  initial  term of the  Master  Lease
terminates on December 31, 1992. Thereafter,  Sublessor has the right and option
under said Paragraph 2 to renew the Master Lease for three (3)  additional  five
(5) year terms  commencing  automatically as of the expiration of the initial or
any extended term,  upon giving Lessor written notice of exercise of Sublessor's
option to renew at least one hundred  eighty (180) days prior to the  expiration
of the initial or any  extended  term.  Subject to all other  provisions  of the
Master  Lease which may cause the early  termination  of the Master Lease (other
than as a result of  Sublessor's  default  thereunder or a surrender  thereof by
Sublessor),  Sublessor  shall,  no later  than May 1, 1992,  exercise  its first
option to extend the Master Lease term to December 31, 1997.  Sublessor appoints
Sublessee as its special  attorney-in-fact  solely for the purpose of exercising
Sublessor's  first  option to extend the Master Lease term to December 31, 1997,
and  Sublessee  shall have the  nonexclusive  right to  exercise  such option in
Sublessor's  name,  if and only if  Sublessor  has not provided  Sublessee  with
written  evidence  of its  exercise  of  said  first  option  by  May  1,  1992.
Accordingly,  Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for Sublessor's failure
to exercise  said  option.  Each party shall  deliver to the other a copy of its
exercise  notice  concurrently  with its  delivery  of the same to  Lessor.  The
foregoing  notwithstanding,  if an Event of  Default  exists at any time  either
party  desires or is required ;c exercise  the first option to extend the Master
Lease 'term to December 31, 1997, then at sum time Sublessor shall not obligated
to exercise  its first  option to extend the Master  Lease term for  Sublessee's
benefit  nor  shall  Sublessee  have  any  right  to  exercise  said  option  in
Sublessor's name as

                               - 5 -

special  attorney-in-fact  for Sublessor.  If, for any reason,  the Master Lease
term is not extended (other than due to the refusal of Lessor to honor or accept
the  exercise of the option to extend the Master  Lease,  except where due to an
Event of Default), then this Sublease shall terminate on December 31, 1992.

4.2 Option to Extend  Sublease  Term.  Sublessor  hereby grants to Sublessee the
option to extend the Sublease Term for two (2)  consecutive  five (5) year terms
(the "First Extended Term" and the "Second Extended Term," respectively, or each
an "Extended Term"), on the following terms and conditions;

(a)  Sublessee  shall give  Sublessor's  Agent  (defined in Paragraph 5.1 below)
written  notice of its  exercise  of the option to extend the  Sublease  Term no
earlier  than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months  before the date
the initial Sublease Term ends (i.e., April 1, 1997), or the First Extended Term
ends (i.e., April 1, 2002), as the case may be. Time is of the essence.  Subject
to all of the  provisions  of  the  Master  Lease  which  may  cause  the  early
termination of the Master Lease (other than as a result of  Sublessor's  default
thereunder or surrender  thereof by Sublessor),  Sublessor  shall, no later than
May 1,  1997,  or no later than May 1, 2002,  as the case may be,  exercise  its
option to extend the Master Lease term to December 31, 2002,  or to December 31,
2007,  as  the  case  may  be.  Sublessor  appoints  Sublessee  as  its  special
attorney-in-fact  solely for the purpose of exercising the corresponding options
to extend the Master Lease term and Sublessee shall have the nonexclusive  right
to exercise such options in  Sublessor's  name, if and only if Sublessor has not
provided  Sublessee with written  evidence of its exercise of said options under
the Master Lease by May 1, 1997 or May 1, 2002, as the case may be. Accordingly,
Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for  Sublessor's  failure to exercise
said  options.  Each party  shall  deliver  to the other a copy of its  exercise
notice concurrently with its delivery of the same to Lessor.

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, if an Event of Default exists (i) at any time
Sublessee  exercises its option to extend the Sublease Term for either  Extended
Term,  or (ii) at any time either  party  desires or is required to exercise the
option to extend the Master  Lease Term to December  31,  2002 or  December  31,
2007,  as the  case may be,  then  Sublessee  may not at such  time  extend  the
Sublease  Term pursuant to this  Paragraph  4.2, nor shall,  Sublessee  have any
right,  at such time,  to exercise said  corresponding  options under the Master
Lease in Sublessor's name, as Sublessor's special attorney-in-fact.

(c) All terms and  conditions of this Sublease  shall apply during each Extended
Term,  except  that the Rent  for the  Extended  Term  shall  be  determined  in
accordance with Paragraph 5.2.

(d) Once Sublessee  delivers  notice of its exercise of the option to extend the
Sublease  Term,  Sublessee may not withdraw  such  exercise and,  subject to the
provisions  of this  Paragraph  4.2,  such  notice  shall  operate to extend the
Sublease  Term.  Upon  the  extension  of the  Sublease  Term  pursuant  to this
Paragraph 4.2, the term "Sublease Term" as used

                               - 6 -


<PAGE>


in this  Sublease  shall  thereafter  include the Extended Term and the Sublease
termination  date shall be the expiration date of the Extended Term. 4.3 Holding
Over. If Sublessee remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of
the Sublease Term, such tenancy shall be from  month-to-month only and shall not
be a renewal or an extension for any further term. In the event of such tenancy,
the monthly Rent due hereunder shall be one hundred  twenty-five  percent (125%)
of the Rent for the  month  preceding  the  Sublease  termination  and  shall be
payable at the times specified in Paragraph 5 below. Such month-to-month tenancy
shall  otherwise be subject to every  applicable  term,  covenant and  agreement
contained herein. Either party may terminate such tenancy upon thirty (30) day's
written notice of termination to the other.

5. Rent.

5.1 Rent.  Sublessee  shall pay to Sublessor  as monthly  rent  ("Rent") for the
Premises the following amounts:

</TABLE>
    

Rent shall be payable in advance on the  Effective  Date and on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter and continuing throughout the Sublease Term. Rent
shall be prorated,  based on the number of days in the particular month, for any
partial month during the Sublease Term. Rent shall be payable without deduction,
offset,  prior  notice  or  demand  in  lawful  money of the  United  States  to
Sublessor's agent, Southern Pacific Industrial Development Company ("Sublessor's
Agent"),  to the attention of Regional Manager,  Property  Management  Services,
File #31461, at Post Office Box 6000, San Francisco,  CA 94160, or at such other
place or places as Sublessor or Sublessor's Agent may from time to time direct.

5.2 Rent During  Extended Term. If Sublessee  elects to extend the Sublease Term
pursuant to Paragraph  4.2, the annual Rent for each  Extended  Term shall be an
amount  equal to ninety  percent  (90%) of the fair market  rental  value of the
Premises in relation to market  conditions  at the time of the extension for the
uses of the Premises permitted under Paragraph 4 of the Master Lease (including,
but not limited to the following market conditions:  rental rates for comparable
space with comparable  tenant  improvements;  any adjustments to rent based upon
direct costs (operating  expenses) and taxes or rental adjustments;  the size of
the space;  lease  assumptions or  contributions;  the condition of the Premises
vis-a-vis  comparable  space;  leasing  commissions paid or payable;  methods of
determining escalations;  concessions,  if any, granted to tenants (such as free
rent,  moving  allowances,   etc.);  improvement  allowances  or  contributions;
building  standard  improvements;  and any other relevant  terms,  conditions or
factors which affect market rental values at the time of  extension);  provided,
that the Rent for each Extended Term shall in

                               - 7 -


<PAGE>


no event be lower than the then existing  Rent.  The Rent for each Extended Term
shall be determined as follows:  (a) Mutual  Agreement.  After timely receipt by
Sublessor of Sublessee's notice of exercise of the option to extend the Sublease
Term,  Sublessor and Sublessee  shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which
to agree on the Rent for the First Extended Term or the Second Extended Term, as
the case may be. If  Sublessor  and  Sublessee  agree on said Rent  during  that
period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Sublease stating the
Rent for the applicable  Extended Term. If Sublessor and Sublessee are unable to
agree on the Rent for the applicable Extended Term as aforesaid,  the Provisions
of Paragraph 5.2(b) below shall apply.

(b) Appraisal.  Within five (5) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day
period  described  in Paragraph  5.2(a)  above,  each party,  at its cost and by
giving notice to the other party, shall appoint an M.A.I. real estate appraiser,
with at least ten (10) years full-time  commercial appraisal experience and five
(5) years  full-time  commercial  appraisal  experience in the area in which the
Premises  are located,  to appraise and set the fair market  rental value of the
Premises.  If a party does not appoint an  appraiser  within five (5) days after
the other  party  has given  notice  of the name of its  appraiser,  the  single
appraiser  appointed  shall be the sole  appraiser and shall set the fair market
rental  value.  The cost of such sole  appraiser  shall be borne  equally by the
parties.  If two  appraisers  are  appointed  by the parties as provided in this
Paragraph 5.2(b),  the two appraisers shall meet promptly and attempt to set the
fair market  rental  value.  If they are unable to agree within twenty (20) days
after the last  appraiser  has been  appointed,  then the two  appraisers  shall
select a third  appraiser  meeting the  qualifications  stated in this Paragraph
5.2(b) within thirty (30) days after  appointment  of the second  appraiser.  If
they are unable to agree on the third appraiser  within the time period allowed,
either of the  parties to this  Sublease,  by giving ten (10) days notice to the
other party,  may apply to the  presiding  judge of the Superior  Court of Santa
Clara County for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications
stated  above.  Each of the  parties  shall bear  one-half  (1/2) of the cost of
appointing  the third  appraiser  and of paying the third  appraiser's  fee. The
third  appraiser,  however  selected,  shall be a person who has not  previously
acted in any  capacity  for  either  party.  Within  twenty  (20) days after the
selection of the third  appraiser,  the majority of the appraisers shall set the
fair market rental value.  If the majority of the  appraisers  are unable to set
the fair market  rental  value  within  said  twenty (20) day period,  the three
appraisals shall be added together and the total divided by three; the resulting
quotient shall be the fair market rental value and shall be deemed  incorporated
herein.  Provided,  however,  that if any  appraisal  differs  from  the  median
appraisal  by an amount  equal to more than ten  percent  (logo) of such  median
appraisal, that appraisal shall be disregarded, and the average of the remaining
appraisals (or the remaining  appraisal)  shall be the fair market rental value.
The terms of this Paragraph 5.2 shall control the  definition and  determination
of "fair market rental value" and the procedure used to make such  determination
and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  appraisers  is so  limited.  Any  determination
hereunder

                               - 8 -


<PAGE>


shall be binding on the parties  absent  fraud or gross error and may be entered
as a judgment in court.  The  appraisers  shall have no right to alter,  vary or
amend  the  provisions  of this  Paragraph  5.2 in  making  their  determination
hereunder.  Either party may submit  evidence to the  appraisers  as to the fair
market  rental  value of the  Premises so long as each party  provides the other
party with a copy of the same to allow rebuttal evidence.  Evidentiary  hearings
shall not be held for purposes of  determining  fair market  rental  value.  The
determination of the appraisers, or each appraiser, if applicable,  shall be set
forth in detail,  in writing,  including  the  information  and data forming the
basis of the determination.

5.3 Late Charge. Sublessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Sublessee to
Sublessor of Rent will cause  Sublessor to incur costs not  contemplated by this
Sublease,  the exact amount of which will be extremely  difficult to  ascertain.
Such costs include,  but are not limited to, processing and accounting  charges,
and late charges which may be imposed upon  Sublessor by the terms of the Master
Lease.  Accordingly,  Sublessee  shall pay to  Sublessor's  Agent,  as  Charges,
without the  necessity  of prior  notice or demand,  a late charge  equal to two
percent (2%) of any  installment  of Rent which is not  received by  Sublessor's
Agent  within  fifteen  (15) days after the due date for such  installment.  The
parties  hereby  agree that such late charge  represents  a fair and  reasonable
estimate  of the  costs  Sublessor  will  incur by  reason  of late  payment  by
Sublessee. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant
to  Sublessee  a grace  period  or  extension  of time  within  which to pay any
installment  of Rent or prevent  Sublessor  from  exercising any right or remedy
available to Sublessor upon Sublessee's  failure to pay such installment of Rent
when due, including without  limitation the right to terminate the Sublease.  In
the event any  installment of Rent is not received by  Sublessor's  Agent by the
thirtieth (30th) day after the due date for such  installment,  such installment
shall  bear  interest  at an  annual  rate set  forth  in  Paragraph  10  below,
commencing  on  the  thirty-first  (31st)  day  after  the  due  date  for  such
installment and continuing  until such installment is paid in full. In addition,
Sublessee  shall  pay all  reasonable  costs and  attorneys'  fees  incurred  by
Sublessor in the collection of such amounts.

5.4 Charges.  Sublessee shall timely pay all taxes, charges,  costs and expenses
and other sums which  Sublessee is required to pay hereunder  (together with all
interest and charges that may accrue thereon in the event of Sublessee's failure
to pay the same), and all damages,  costs and expenses which Sublessor may incur
by reason of any default by Sublessee (collectively,  "Charges"). The obligation
to pay Rent and Charges shall commence on the Commencement Date. In the event of
nonpayment  by Sublessee of any  Charges,  Sublessor  shall have all of the same
rights and remedies with respect  thereto as Sublessor has for the nonpayment of
Rent, including,  without limitation, the rights and remedies available pursuant
to  California  Civil Code  Sections 1941.2 and  1941.4,  or any  successor  or
replacement statute.

6. Taxes.

6.1 Payment of Taxes. At least twenty (20) days prior to delinquency,  Sublessee
shall pay any and all taxes,

                               - 9 -


<PAGE>


assessments  or other charges  (other than those  charges  assessed by reason of
Sublessor's  default under the Master Lease to the extent not caused by an Event
of Default)  (i) payable by  Sublessor  pursuant  to the Master  Lease,  or (ii)
payable by Sublessor as owner of the Premises if and when Sublessor acquires fee
title to the same.  Sublessor will advise  Sublessee and provide  Sublessee with
copies of all  notices,  levies  and  assessments  of taxes  and  other  charges
respecting the Premises after  receiving  notification  from Lessor of the same.
Sublessor  shall use  reasonable  efforts  to arrange  for any and all  notices,
levies  and  assessments  of taxes  and other  charges  to be sent  directly  to
Sublessee.  If any notices, levies and/or assessments of taxes and other charges
are  delivered  directly to  Sublessee  or the  Premises  by any tax  authority,
Sublessee  shall  notify  Sublessor  of the  same  and  shall  pay  such  taxes,
assessments or charges  directly to the taxing  authority twenty (20) days prior
to delinquency  and provide  Sublessor with written  evidence of such payment at
least  twenty (20) days prior to  delinquency.  If any  notices,  levies  and/or
assessments  of taxes and other  charges are  delivered  to  Sublessee by either
Lessor or Sublessor,  Sublessee shall pay such taxes,  assessments or charges to
Lessor or  Sublessor,  as the case may be, at least  twenty  (20) days  prior to
delinquency.  To the extent permitted by the Master Lease or if Lessor otherwise
consents  thereto,   Sublessee's  payment  of  taxes  and  assessments  may,  at
Sublessee's  election, be paid in installments as may be permitted by law or the
taxing authority.

Pursuant  to  Paragraph  3(b) of the Master  Lease,  Sublessor  has the right to
contest in the name of Lessor,  or in its own name,  any tax, levy or assessment
which Sublessor is required to pay thereunder, in whole or in part. If Sublessee
wishes to contest the payment of any tax,  levy or  assessment,  then  Sublessee
shall  have the right to  contest  the same in the name of Lessor (to the extent
permitted by the Master  Lease),  in the name of Sublessor,  or in its own name.
Sublessor shall execute all documents necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
contest  and will use  reasonable  efforts to cause  Lessor to do the same.  Any
steps, actions or proceedings instituted by Sublessee shall be at the expense of
Sublessee.  Sublessee  shall  indemnify  and hold  Sublessor  harmless  from and
against all loss,  cost,  liability,  claims,  damages and  expenses  (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees),  penalties and fines incurred in
connection with or arising from the taking of any such action by Sublessee.

6.2  Substitute  Taxes.   Should  the  State  of  California  or  any  political
subdivision  thereof  (including the County of Santa Clara or City of Cupertino)
levy or impose a tax,  assessment,  license fee or other  charge upon the Master
Lease,  this Sublease,  the estate created by the Master Lease or this Sublease,
or upon Lessor (or  Sublessor) by reason of its ownership of the fee interest in
the Premises,  or upon the rents or other income of the Lessor or Sublessor from
the Premises. and such tax, assessment, license fee or other charge is assessed,
in whole or in part, in lieu of property  taxes anchor  assessments  pursuant to
Paragraph  3(e) of the Master Lease,  there shall be an equitable  allocation of
such tax between Lessor and Sublessor, based upon the extent to which Lessor can
reasonably  establish  that such new tax is a substitute for real property taxes
assessed against the Premises for the fiscal period next preceding  enactment of
the

                              - 10 -


<PAGE>


new tax.  Sublessor  and  Sublessee  shall meet and confer in order to determine
what the parties  believe to be an equitable  allocation  of such tax as between
Lessor and Sublessor. Sublessor shall present such determination to Lessor as an
appropriate  equitable  allocation.  The portion so  allocated  to  Sublessor by
Lessor shall be passed on to Sublessee accordingly.

7. Maintenance of Premises.  Sublessor shall not be responsible to Sublessee for
furnishing  any  service,  maintenance  or  repairs to the  Premises,  including
without  limitation all structural  and  nonstructural  portions of the roof, it
being  understood  that such  obligations,  if any,  are either  those of Lessor
pursuant to the Master Lease or those of Sublessee,  pursuant to this  Sublease.
The  foregoing  notwithstanding,  if  any  dispute  arises  between  Lessor  and
Sublessor  regarding  the  obligation  to  maintain  and repair  the  structural
portions of the Premises "including without limitation concrete walls, footings,
concrete slab or roof structure), or Lessor fails to maintain or repair the same
after the enforcement  provisions of Paragraph 2.1 above have been  effectuated,
Sublessor shall perform the required  maintenance or repair (except with respect
to the roof, which maintenance and repair obligations Sublessee shall perform at
its sole  cost  and  expense),  at its sole  cost  and  expense.  The  foregoing
notwithstanding,  Sublessee shall maintain and repair all structural portions of
the  Premises  which have been  constructed,  altered,  modified  or improved by
Sublessee if, and to the extent, any such construction, alteration, modification
or  improvement  would  give rise to a  defense  by  Lessor  to its  repair  and
maintenance obligations under the Master Lease.

8. Use.  Sublessee  shall be entitled to use the Premises for any uses permitted
under  Paragraph  4 of  the  Master  Lease  (but  not  for  underground  storage
facilities and only for aboveground storage facilities  reasonably necessary for
Sublessee's  use of the  Premises)  and for no other  purpose  without the prior
written  consent of Sublessor.  Sublessee  shall not do or suffer anything to be
done upon the Premises which will cause  structural  injury to the Premises.  If
any act on the part of  Sublessee  or use of the  Premises  by  Sublessee  shall
cause,  directly or indirectly,  any increase of Sublessor's  insurance  expense
under  the  Master  Lease,  if any,  said  additional  expense  shall be paid by
Sublessee to Sublessor upon demand.

9. Notices.

9.1  General.  Any notice  required or desired to be given  under this  Sublease
shall be in writing and all notices shall be given by personal  delivery or by a
commercial  courier service which  guarantees  overnight  delivery.  The parties
hereto  intend that the notice  requirements  contained in this  Sublease  shall
supersede those contained in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161
and any successor or replaces, statute, and that any notice served in accordance
with the  requirements  hereof  shall be  sufficient  for the  purposes  of such
statutory  requirements.  All notices  delivered by courier shall be paid for by
the sender and  addressed to the  addresses set forth in the Summary of Sublease
Provisions. Either party may change its address for purposes of notice by giving
notice Of such change of address to the other

                              - 11 -


<PAGE>


party in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph at least ten (10) days
before the  effective  date of the  change.  Any notice  given  pursuant to this
Paragraph 9.1 shall be deemed served when  delivered by personal  service,  with
delivery evidenced by a signed receipt, or the day of delivery by the commercial
courier service, as evidenced by its signed receipt.

9.2 Notices from Lessor. Sublessee shall send to Sublessor's Agent a copy of all
notices  and other  communications  it shall  receive  from  Lessor  (including,
without limitation,  any notices of default) which pertain to the Premises,  the
Master  Lease or this  Sublease  within  forty-eight  (48) hours of  receiving a
notice or other  communication.  Sublessor's  Agent (or Sublessor,  if Sublessor
receives  the  notice)  shall send to  Sublessee a copy of all notices and other
communications it shall receive from Lessor (including,  without limitation, any
notices of default)  which  pertain to the  Premises,  the Master  Lease or this
Sublease  within   forty-eight  (48)  hours  of  receiving  a  notice  or  other
communication.

10. Interest. Any payment due from one party to the other (except for Rent which
is addressed  below) shall bear  interest  from the date due until paid,  at the
rate of ten  percent  (10%) per annum.  Rent not  received by  Sublessor  within
thirty (30) days after the same is due shall bear interest from the thirty-first
(31st) day after the due date until paid,  at the rate of ten percent  (10%) per
annum.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any  nonrecurring  payment due from one
party to the other, including, without limitation, payments due under Paragraphs
16.4.2  and 19 below,  shall  not bear  interest  until ten (10) days  following
delivery of written notice from one party to the other that said payment is due.
In  addition,  Sublessee  shall pay all  reasonable  costs and  attorneys'  fees
incurred by Sublessor in the collection of such amounts.

11. Damage and  Destruction.  Neither  Sublessor  nor  Sublessee  shall have any
obligation to rebuild, restore or repair all or a portion of the Premises in the
event of any damage or destruction  thereto,  but Sublessor shall use reasonable
efforts to cause Lessor to perform its obligation to do so pursuant to Paragraph
2.1 above.  If Lessor elects to terminate the Master Lease pursuant to the terms
and conditions of Paragraph 8 of the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate
concurrently  therewith  without any  liability of Sublessor  to  Sublessee.  If
Sublessor  is entitled to  terminate  the Master  Lease  pursuant to Paragraph 8
thereof,  then  Sublessee may elect to terminate this Sublease by written notice
delivered to Sublessor  within one hundred fifty (150) days from the destructive
event.

If Sublessor is entitled to terminate  the Master Lease  pursuant to Paragraph 8
thereof and Sublessor desires to so terminate the Master Lease,  Sublessor shall
provide  Sublessee  written  notice of  Sublessor's  intention to terminate  the
Master Lease  within one hundred  twenty  (120) days of the  destructive  event.
Sublessee  shall approve or disapprove  Sublessor's  intention by written notice
delivered to Sublessor  within one hundred  fifty (150) days of the  destructive
event.  If Sublessee  approves  Sublessor s intention  to  terminate  the Master
Lease, then Sublessor may notify Lessor of Sublessor's election to terminate the
Master Lease pursuant to

                              - 12 -


<PAGE>


Paragraph 8 thereof and this  Sublease  shall  terminate  concurrently  with the
termination of the Master Lease.  If Sublessee  desires to continue the Sublease
and  disapproves  Sublessor's  intention to  terminate  the Master  Lease,  then
Sublessor  shall not terminate the Master Lease and the Sublease shall continue.
Except as  expressly  provided  herein,  Sublessee  waives  any other  rights to
terminate this Sublease, including without limitation any rights pursuant to the
provisions of Subdivision 2 of Section 1932 and Subdivision 4 of Section 1933 of
the  California  Civil Code, as amended from time to time, and the provisions of
any similar law hereinafter enacted,  which provisions relate to the termination
of the hiring of a thing upon its  substantial  damage and  destruction.  In the
event of any damage or destruction to the Premises,  the then-current Rent shall
be  proportionately  reduced in the same proportion and for the same period that
the rent paid by  Sublessor  to Lessor for the  Premises is reduced  pursuant to
Paragraph 8 of the Master Lease. All other amounts due pursuant to this Sublease
shall continue  unaffected or shall be abated in the same proportion and for the
same period that such amounts are abated to Sublessor pursuant to Paragraph 8 of
the Master Lease.

12.  Condemnation.  If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public  use,  under any  statute or by right of eminent  domain or private
purchase  in lieu  thereof,  this  Sublease  shall,  as to the  part  so  taken,
terminate  as of the date  title  shall  vest in or  possession  is taken by the
condemnor or  purchaser,  and the Rent payable  hereunder for the portion of the
Premises remaining shall be  proportionately  reduced according to the extent to
which such taking shall  interfere with or curtail  Sublessee's  business on the
Premises.  Provided  Sublessor has the right to terminate the Master Lease under
the conditions described in Paragraph 9 thereof,  Sublessee shall have the right
to terminate  this  Sublease by delivering  to Sublessor  written  notice of its
intention to terminate the Sublease  within ten (10) days  following the date of
said taking. For purposes of the foregoing, Sublessee's then business operations
in the Premises shall be deemed Sublessor's and Sublessee's  judgments regarding
the suitability of the Premises for its business  operations shall be binding on
Sublessor.  In such event,  this Sublease shall  terminate,  effective as of the
date of such  taking,  pursuant to  Paragraph 9 of the Master  Lease.  Any award
received by Sublessor or Sublessee as a result of the taking of all or a portion
of the  Premises  under any right of eminent  domain,  or any  transfer  in lieu
thereof,  shall  belong to  Sublessor,  however,  Sublessee  shall  receive from
Sublessor's  award or  portion of the award (i) the value of  Sublessee's  trade
fixtures,  equipment and other property  installed by it, moving expenses,  (ii)
seventy-five  percent  (75%) of the value,  if any, of  Sublessee's  interest or
subleasehold  estate,  if any, and (iii) other special  damages  provable in the
condemnation action.

13.  Insurance.  All  insurance  policies  required  to be carried by  Sublessee
pursuant o Paragraph  27 of the Master Lease shall name  Lessor,  Sublessor  and
Sublessor's  Agent  (with  respect to the  insurance  required  to be carried by
Sublessee  pursuant  to  Paragraph  27(b) of the  Master  Lease)  as  additional
insureds and shall provide that such policy or policies  shall not be subject to
cancellation or change except after at least

                              - 13 -


<PAGE>


thirty  (30) days prior  written  notice to Lessor,  Sublessor  and  Sublessor's
Agent. 14. Lessor's and Sublessor's  Consent.  If Sublessor  approves any matter
requiring  Sublessor's  consent herein and such matter further requires Lessor's
approval under the Master Lease,  or if only Lessor's  consent is required under
the Master Lease,  Sublessor  shall promptly submit the same to Lessor and shall
use  Sublessor's  reasonable  efforts (with Sublessor and Sublessee each bearing
one-half (1/2) of the costs and expenses associated  therewith in the manner set
forth in Paragraph  2.1 above) to obtain  Lessor's  approval of such matter.  If
Sublessor  does not  consent to any matter as to which its  consent is  required
hereunder,  Sublessor shall advise Sublessee,  in writing, in reasonable detail,
of the basis for its decision.  Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
similar information from Lessor,  where Lessor does not consent to any matter as
to which its consent is required  pursuant to the Master  Lease.  Any  approvals
required to be given by Sublessor to Sublessee  hereunder  (including  approvals
under Paragraph 15 below) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if
such  approval  or  disapproval  is not given  within  thirty (30) days (or such
longer or shorter time period as may  otherwise be permitted by this Sublease or
the Master Lease) following Sublessee's written request for the same, the matter
shall be deemed approved by Sublessor unless such approval would cause a default
under the Master Lease. In no event, however,  shall Sublessor's  disapproval be
deemed  unreasonable if (but only for so long as) Lessor has disapproved of such
matter (but Lessor's  disapproval  shall not be considered either evidence or an
admission of the reasonableness  thereof) nor shall Sublessor have any liability
to Sublessee by reason thereof, other than by reason of a breach by Sublessor of
its obligations under this Sublease.

15. Assignment and Subletting.

15.1 Prohibitions in General.

(a) Transfer.  Sublessee shall not (whether  voluntarily,  involuntarily,  or by
operation  of law) (i)  assign  this  Sublease  or allow  all or any part of the
Premises  to be sublet,  occupied,  or used by any  person or entity  other than
Sublessee, (ii) transfer any right appurtenant to this Sublease or the Premises,
or (iii)  permit any person to assume or succeed to any interest  whatsoever  in
this Sublease  (collectively,  "Transfer"),  without  Sublessor's  prior written
consent in each  instance,  which  consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,
subject, nevertheless, to the restrictions, limitations and conditions set forth
in this Paragraph 15. The foregoing  notwithstanding,  Sublessee may sublease up
to an aggregate of thirty thousand  (30,000) square feet of the Premises without
Sublessor's  prior  written  consent,  but  subject  to all other  restrictions,
limitations  and  conditions,  applicable  to  a  Transfer,  contained  in  this
Paragraph  15.  With  respect to (A)  subleases  for less than  thirty  thousand
(30,000) square feet of the Premises,  and (B) Affiliate  Transfers  (defined in
Paragraph 15.6 below),  Sublessee may nevertheless  request  Sublessor's consent
thereto  for  purposes  of  Paragraph  24.2(i),   which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld. Any Transfer contrary to the provisions of this

                              - 14 -


<PAGE>


Paragraph  15 shall  constitute  an Event of Default  and shall be  voidable  by
Sublessor,  except where such  Transfer is rescinded  within thirty (30) days of
Sublessor's  written  notice  to  Sublessee  of  Sublessor's  disapproval  of or
withholding of consent to such Transfer. Sublessor's consent to any one Transfer
shall not  constitute a waiver of the  provisions of this Paragraph 15 as to any
subsequent  Transfer  nor a  consent  to any  subsequent  Transfer.  Sublessor's
consent  to any one  Transfer  shall  not  release  Sublessee  from  Sublessee's
obligations under this Sublease.  Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph
15, the  effectiveness  of a proposed  Transfer is conditioned  upon Sublessor's
written  consent to the same.  The  Transfer  shall be valid and the  Transferee
(defined  in  Paragraph  15.3)  shall have the right to take  possession  of the
Premises only if an executed  counterpart of the  assignment,  sublease or other
document  evidencing  the Transfer is delivered to Sublessor  and such  transfer
document is consistent  with the  information  set forth in  Sublessee's  notice
given to Sublessor  pursuant to Paragraph 15.3, or any modifications  thereto to
which Sublessor has a right to consent and has consented to in writing.

(b)  Hypothecation.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Sublease,
Sublessee shall not (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law)
hypothecate,  mortgage  or encumber  as  security  Sublessee's  interest in this
Sublease  or in the  Premises  (or  otherwise  use the  Sublease  as a  security
device),  without  Sublessor's  prior written  consent in each  instance,  which
consent  may be  withheld  in  Sublessor's  sole and  absolute  discretion.  Any
hypothecation,  mortgage or encumbrance  (collectively  "Hypothecation") without
Sublessor's  consent shall  constitute a default by Sublessee and shall be void.
Sublessor's  consent to any one  Hypothecation  shall not constitute a waiver of
the  provisions of this Paragraph 15 as to any  subsequent  Hypothecation  nor a
consent to any  subsequent  Hypothecation.  All  Hypothecations  are  subject to
Paragraphs 15.7 through 15.9 below.

15.2 Transfer  Agreement.  As a condition to the  effectiveness of any Transfer,
the document evidencing the Transfer between Sublessee and Sublessee's assignee,
subsublessee,  or  transferee  (collectively,   "Transferee")  shall  include  a
provision that Sublessee's  Transferee  expressly  assumes those  obligations of
Sublessee  under this  Sublease so  delineated  in the document  evidencing  the
Transfer,  and shall be and remain  jointly and severally  liable with Sublessee
for the performance of those  obligations under this Sublease from the effective
date of the Transfer.  Sublessee  shall remain liable for the performance of all
conditions,  covenants, and obligations under this Sublease, whether or not such
conditions,  covenants,  and  obligations  have been  expressly  assumed  by the
Transferee.   As  a  condition  to  any  Hypothecation   (and  without  limiting
Sublessor's  right to withhold consent to any  Hypothecation in Sublessor's sole
discretion)  of  Sublessee's  interest  in this  Sublease or the  Premises,  the
document   evidencing  the  Hypothecation   between  Sublessee  and  Sublessee's
encumbrances,   hypothecatee  or  mortgagee  (collectively   "mortgagee")  shall
include- a provision  that when  Sublessee's  Mortgagee  succeeds to Sublessee's
interest through foreclosure or otherwise, Sublessee's Mortgagee shall expressly
assume all  obligations of Sublessee  under this Sublease,  other than uncurable
Events of Default,  shall be bound by all  Provisions of this Sublease and shall
be and

                              - 15 -


<PAGE>


remain jointly and severally  liable with  Sublessee for the  performance of all
conditions,  covenants  and  obligations  under this Sublease from the date that
such  Mortgagee  succeeds  to  Sublessee's  interest  in  this  Sublease  or the
Premises.

15.3 Request for Transfer. Sublessee shall give Sublessor twenty (20) days prior
written notice of any desired Transfer, which notice shall include the following
information:  (i) the term or duration of such Transfer;  (ii) the nature of the
Transfer; (iii) the name and legal composition of the proposed Transferee;  (iv)
the allocation of  responsibilities  and obligations  between  Sublessee and the
proposed  Transferee;  (v) an audited financial statement prepared in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  (or  a  statement  providing
equivalent  information  and  evidencing  the  truth  and  completeness  of  the
information  contained  therein) of the proposed  Transferee dated as of a date,
and for the period  ending on such date,  which is within  fifteen  (15)  months
prior to the proposed  effective  date of the  Transfer;  (vi) the nature of the
proposed  Transferee's  business  to be carried on in the  Premises  (including,
without  limitation,  any proposed use of  Hazardous  Materials);  and (vii) the
payment  to be made  or  other  consideration  to be  given  on  account  of the
Transfer;  all in reasonably  sufficient  detail to enable Sublessor to evaluate
the proposed Transfer and the prospective  Transferee.  Sublessee's notice shall
not be deemed to have been  served or given  until  such time as  Sublessee  has
provided  Sublessor with all information  specified  above,  but Sublessor shall
promptly notify  Sublessee of any missing or incomplete  information.  Sublessee
shall  immediately  notify Sublessor of any modification to the foregoing items.
Sublessor's  consent to any Transfer for which  consent is required or requested
hereunder  shall be based on the financial  ability of the Transferee to perform
its obligations under the proposed Transfer (including,  but not limited to, the
obligations  set  forth  in  Paragraph  28 of this  Sublease)  and  whether  the
Transferee's proposed use is permitted by the Master Lease and this Sublease.

15.4 Excess Rents. Sublessor shall be entitled to one-fourth (1/4) of any Excess
Rents (defined  below)  payable by any  Transferee and Sublessee  shall pay such
amount to  Sublessor  as and when the same is  received by  Sublessee  following
recovery of the Costs (defined  below)  incurred by Sublessee in connection with
said Transfer. "Excess Rents" shall mean any and all rents, payments, charges or
other  consideration  received by Sublessee  from a Transferee  in excess of the
Rent and Charges payable by Sublessee to Sublessor  (calculated on a "per square
foot" basis if less than the entire  Premises  is the  subject of the  Transfer)
after recovery by Sublessee of the following  ("Costs"):  (a) all costs incurred
in  connection  with  the  Transfer,   including   attorneys'   fees,   brokers'
commissions,  allowances, concessions, the cost of constructing improvements and
the cost of Sublessee's  performance under any sub-sublease (if other than a net
lease), and (b) the unamortized cost of any improvements to or personal property
(to the extent included for purposes of calculating  "rent" under this Paragraph
15)  the  Premises  constructed  O.  paid  for by  Sublessee  (Sublessee  hereby
acknowledging  that the Tenant  Improvements  will be fully amortized during the
initial Sublease Term) in the portion of the Premises that is the subject of the
Transfer,  in each  case,  so long as the term of the  Transfer  is for the full
Sublease Term (including any

                              - 16 -


<PAGE>


option to extend the Sublease Term which must be exercised by Sublessee pursuant
to Sublessee's agreement with the Transferee).  Otherwise,  Sublessee shall only
be entitled to recovery  of a pro rata  portion of the  unamortized  cost of its
improvements  amortized over the term of the Transfer.  For the purposes of this
Paragraph  15, the term  "rent"  shall  include  any  consideration  of any kind
received,  or to be received,  by Sublessee (or from any subtenant of Sublessee)
from the  Transferee,  if such sums are related to Sublessee's  interest in this
Sublease  or in the  Premises,  including,  but not  limited  to,  key money and
payments for Sublessee's  personal property in excess of the unamortized cost or
book value  thereof.  The term  "personal  property" as used in this  subsection
shall refer to fixtures, inventory, good will, equipment and furniture.

15.5 Sublessor's Rights. If Sublessee seeks to make any Transfer of its interest
in this  Sublease or the Premises,  Sublessor  shall have the right to condition
its consent to such  Transfer on the  requirement  that either  Sublessee or the
proposed  Transferee  cure,  on or before the  proposed  effective  date of such
Transfer, any and all uncured Events of Default; provided,  however, in no event
shall  Sublessor's  failure to condition its consent upon such cure be deemed to
be a waiver of any such  Event of  Default or  Sublessor's  rights and  remedies
under this Sublease or law in regard  thereto.  If the cure period for any Event
of Default has not expired by the date upon which  Sublessor  must  respond to a
request for consent to a Transfer in accordance with this Paragraph 15, then the
period within which  Sublessor  must respond shall be extended,  at  Sublessor's
option, to the date following the day on which the cure period for such existing
Event of Default expires. If Sublessor elects to impose such cure as a condition
to its consent and such  condition is not satisfied by the effective date of the
Transfer, the Transfer shall be voidable at Sublessor's option.

15.6 Corporations and Partnerships.  If Sublessee is a partnership, a withdrawal
or  substitution  (whether  voluntary,  involuntary  or by  operation of law and
whether  occurring  at one  time  or  over a  period  of  time)  of any  general
partner(s)  owning more than fifty  percent (50%) of any interest in the capital
or profits of the  partnership,  or the dissolution of the partnership  shall be
deemed a Transfer of this Sublease.  If Sublessee is a corporation,  the capital
stock of which is not publicly traded, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or
other reorganization of Sublessee,  any sale or transfer (or cumulative sales or
transfers) of the capital  stock of Sublessee in excess of fifty percent  (50%),
or any sale (or cumulative sales) of fifty-one percent (51%) of the value of the
assets of Sublessee shall be deemed a Transfer of this Sublease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  Sublessee may, without Sublessor's prior written consent.  enter
into any Transfer  with:  (i) a subsidiary,  affiliate,  division or corporation
controlled  by or under  common  control  with  Sublessee;  or (ii) a  successor
corporation  related  to  Sublessee  by  merger,  consolidation,  non-bankruptcy
reorganization,  or government action ("Affiliate Transfers"). Upon request from
Sublessee,  Sublessor  shall  execute  an  acknowledgement,  in form  reasonably
satisfactory to Sublessor,  evidencing that Sublessor's  consent is not required
for a Transfer meeting the criteria herein set forth.

                              - 17 -


<PAGE>


15.7 Reasonable  Provisions.  Sublessee  expressly agrees that the provisions of
this Paragraph 15 are not  unreasonable  standards or conditions for purposes of
Section 1951.4(b)(2) of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time.

15.8  Subject to Master  Lease.  Sublessee  acknowledges  that any  Transfer  or
Hypothecation  hereunder  is subject to the terms and  conditions  of the Master
Lease.

15.9   Miscellaneous.   Regardless  of  Sublessor's   consent,  no  Transfer  or
Hypothecation  shall release Sublessee of Sublessee's  obligations  hereunder or
alter the  primary  liability  of  Sublessee  to pay the Rent and Charges and to
perform all other  obligations  to be  performed  by  Sublessee  hereunder.  The
acceptance  of Rent or Charges by  Sublessor  from any other person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by  Sublessor  of any  provision  hereof.  In the event of
default by any  Transferee,  Mortgagee  or any  successor  of  Sublessee  in the
performance of any of the terms hereof,  Sublessor may proceed  directly against
Sublessee without the necessity of exhausting  remedies against said Transferee,
Mortgagee  or  successor.  Sublessor  may  consent to  subsequent  Transfers  or
Hypothecations  of this Sublease or amendments or modifications to this Sublease
with any  Transferee,  Mortgagee or successor of  Sublessee,  without  notifying
Sublessee,  or any  successor of Sublessee,  and without  obtaining its or their
consent  thereto and such action shall not relieve  Sublessee of liability under
this  Sublease,  except that  Sublessee  shall not be bound by any  amendment or
modification to which Sublessee has not consented.

Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessor's right, in its reasonable discretion,  to
withhold consent to a proposed  Transfer  described in Paragraph  15.1(a)(ii) or
15.1(a)(iii)  and all other  provisions  of this  Paragraph 15 are  commercially
reasonable,  agreed-upon and bargained-for rights of Sublessor and that the Rent
and Charges set forth in the Sublease have taken into consideration  Sublessor's
rights under this Paragraph 15.

16. Default and Remedies.

16.1  Events of Default.  The term  "Event of Default" as used in this  Sublease
shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) Sublessee's failure to pay when due any Rent or Charges,  where such failure
shall  continue for a period of ten (10) days after written  notice thereof from
Sublessor to Sublessee;

(b) Unless actively and diligently  contested.  by Sublessee,  commencement  and

case under Title 11 of the United  States  Code  concerning  Sublessee,  whether
under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of such Title or under any other  Chapter,  or (ii) a
case, action or proceeding seeking  Sublessee's  financial  reorganization or an
arrangement with any of Sublessee's creditors;

                              - 18 -


<PAGE>


(c) Voluntary  appointment  of a receiver,  trustee,  keeper or other person who
takes  possession  for  more  than  sixty  (60)  days  of  substantially  all of
Sublessee's assets used in Sublessee's  business on the Premises,  regardless of
whether such appointment is as a result of insolvency or any other cause;

(d)  Unless  actively  and  diligently   contested  by  Sublessee,   involuntary
appointment of a receiver,  trustee, keeper or other person who takes possession
for more than sixty (60) days of substantially all of Sublessee's assets used in
Sublessee's business on the Premises,  regardless of whether such appointment is
as a result of insolvency or any other cause;

(e) Execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors of substantially all
assets of Sublessee available by law for the satisfaction of judgment creditors;

(f) Commencement of proceedings for winding up or dissolving  (whether voluntary
or  involuntary)  the entity of Sublessee if  Sublessee  is a  corporation  or a
partnership, which proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days;

(g) Levy of a writ of attachment or execution on Sublessee's interest under this
Sublease,  if such writ is not being  contested  and  continues  for a period of
sixty (60) days;

(h) Transfer or  Hypothecation  or attempted  Transfer or  Hypothecation of this
Sublease or the Premises by Sublessee contrary to the provisions of Paragraph 15
above,  except where such Transfer or  Hypothecation  is rescinded within thirty
(30) days of Sublessor's written notice to Sublessee of Sublessor's  disapproval
of or withholding of consent to such Transfer or Hypothecation;

(i) The  failure of  Sublessee  promptly to observe or perform any of the terms,
covenants, conditions,  warranties or other provisions contained in Paragraph 28
below,  where  Sublessee  fails to commence to cure within  seven (7) days after
written  notice  thereof from Sublessor and to complete the cure within a period
of thirty (30) days after said written notice from Sublessor; provided, however,
that if the nature of  Sublessee's  default is such that more than  thirty  (30)
days are reasonably  required for its cure, then no Event of Default shall exist
if Sublessee  commences to cure within said seven (7) day period and  thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; or

(j) Breach by  Sublessee  of any other term,  covenant,  condition,  warranty or
other provision contained in this Sublease (which shall incorporate all exhibits
attached  hereto),  where such breach shall continue for a period of ninety (90)
days after written notice therefrom from Sublessor to Sublessee of the nature of
such default.

Any notice  given by Sublessor  to  Sublessee  pursuant to (a),  (h), (i) or (j)
above shall be delivered to both addresses of Sublessee set forth on the Summary
of Sublease Provisions (including the copy address) and if so delivered shall be
sufficient  notice for the purpose of California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1161, or any successor or

                              - 19 -


<PAGE>


replacement  statute, if served in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph
9.1 above and no  additional  notice shall be required in order for Sublessor to
commence an unlawful detainer proceeding. Sublessor shall take such steps as are
reasonably  necessary  to  mitigate  any  damages  resulting  from a default  by
Sublessee.

16.2 Remedies. Upon any default by Sublessee, Sublessor shall have the following
remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, to which
Sublessor may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

16.2.1  Termination.  Upon any default by  Sublessee,  Sublessor  shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Sublease and Sublessee's  right
to possession of the Premises.  If Sublessor has given Sublessee  written notice
pursuant to Paragraph 16.1(a) or (i) above, then Sublessor shall not be required
to  give  Sublessee  any  additional  notice  terminating  this  Sublease.  Upon
termination  of this  Sublease,  Sublessor  shall have the right to recover from
Sublessee:

(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and Charges which had been
earned at the time of termination:

(b) The worth at the time of award of the  amount by which the Rent and  Charges
which would have been earned after  termination  until the time of award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss that Sublessee  proves could have been reasonably
avoided;

(c) The worth at the time of award (computed by discounting at the discount rate
of the  Federal  Reserve  Bank of San  Francisco  at the time of award  plus one
percent)  of the  amount by which the Rent and  Charges  for the  balance of the
Sublease Term after the time of award exceed the amount of such rental loss that
Sublessee proves could be reasonably avoided;

(d) Any other  amounts  necessary  to  compensate  Sublessor  for all  detriment
proximately  caused by the default by Sublessee or which in the ordinary  course
of events would likely result, including without limitation any of the following
as may be permitted by law:

      (i) Expenses in retaking possession of the Premises:

      (ii) Expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the
      Premises;

      (iii) Any unamortized real estate brokerage  commission paid in connection
      with this Sublease;

      (iv) Expenses for removing,  transporting,  and storing any of Sublessee's
      property left at the Premises (although Sublessor shall have no obligation
      to remove, transport, or store any such property);

      (v) Expenses of reletting  the  Premises,  including  without  limitation,
      brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees;

                              - 20 -


<PAGE>


      (vi)  Attorneys'  fees and court  costs;  and (vii) Costs of carrying  the
      Premises  such as  repairs,  maintenance,  taxes and  insurance  premiums,
      utilities and security  precautions  (if any) to the extent such costs are
      not included in the  calculation of the award  described in  subparagraphs
      (a), (b) and (c) above.

Sublessor   acknowledges   that  the   itemization  of  costs  and  expenses  in
Subparagraphs  (i)  through  (vii) above does not  constitute  an  admission  by
Sublessee  that Sublessor is permitted by law to recover such costs and expenses
or shift the  burden  of proof of  showing  entitlement  thereto  in any  action
brought on account of an Event of Default, nor does Sublessee waive its right to
challenge  the ability of  Sublessor to recover any of the costs and expenses so
itemized.

(e) The "worth at the time of award" Of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs
(a) and (b) of this  Paragraph  16.2.1 is computed  by  allowing  interest at an
annual rate equal to the greater of: 10% or 5% plus the rate  established by the
Federal  Reserve  Bank  of San  Francisco,  as of  the  25th  day  of the  month
immediately  preceding  the default by  Sublessee,  on advances to member  banks
under  Sections 13 and 13(a) of the  Federal  Reserve  Act, as now in effect or
hereafter from time to time amended, not to exceed the maximum rate allowable by
law.

16.2.2 Continuance of Sublease. Upon a default by Sublessee and unless and until
Sublessor elects to terminate this Sublease  pursuant to Paragraph 16.2.1 above,
this  Sublease  shall  continue  in effect  after the default by  Sublessee  and
Sublessor  may enforce all rights and remedies  under this  Sublease,  including
without  limitation,  the right to recover  payment of Rent and  Charges as they
become due and the right to request the appointment of a receiver to collect all
rents not otherwise payable to Sublessor by reason of any Transfer of all or any
part of the Premises or this Sublease.  Neither efforts by Sublessor to mitigate
damages  caused by a default by  Sublessee  nor the  acceptance  of any Rent and
Charges shall  constitute a waiver by Sublessor of any of Sublessor's  rights or
remedies, including the rights and remedies specified in this Paragraph 16.2.

16.2.3  Reletting  Premises.  Upon a default by  Sublessee,  Sublessor  may,  at
Sublessor's  election,  re-enter  the  Premises,  and without  terminating  this
Sublease,  and at any time and from time to time, relet the Premises or any part
or parts  thereof  for the account and in the name of  Sublessee  or  otherwise.
Sublessor may, at Sublessor's  election,  eject  Sublessee or any of Sublessee's
subtenants,  assignees  or other  person  claiming  any right in or through this
Sublease by appropriate judicial proceeding. Sublessee shall nevertheless pay to
Sublessor on the due dates  specified in this  Sublease all sums  required to be
paid by Sublessee  under this Sublease,  plus  Sublessor's  reasonable  expenses
incurred in connection with such reletting, less the proceeds of any sublease Or
reletting.  The expenses allowed Sublessor shall be expenses reasonably incurred
in the ordinary course of reletting the Premises.  which reasonable expenses may
include  without  limitation  costs paid to retake  possession  of the  Premises
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), costs to place the

<PAGE>


Premises in its original  condition,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  costs to
secure new tenants  (including  brokers'  commissions and reasonable  attorneys'
fees)  and  costs  to  fulfill  all of'  Sublessee's  covenants  and  conditions
hereunder to the end of the Sublease  Term.  No act by or on behalf of Sublessor
under  this  Paragraph  16.2.3  shall  constitute  a  lease  termination  unless
Sublessor gives Sublessee written notice of termination as provided in Paragraph
16.2.1.  Notwithstanding any prior reletting without termination,  Sublessor may
later elect to terminate this Sublease because of any Event of Default.

16.3 Attorneys'  Fees. The defaulting  party shall pay reasonable fees and costs
of attorneys  engaged by the  non-defaulting  party in collection of any amounts
owing or to enforce any of the non-defaulting  party's rights and remedies under
this Paragraph 16 and applicable law.

16.4 Sublessor's Default.

16.4.1  Default.  Sublessor  shall not be in default under this Sublease  unless
Sublessee  shall have given  Sublessor  written notice of the breach and, within
thirty  (30) days after  notice,  Sublessor  has not cured the breach or, if the
breach is such that it cannot reasonably be cured under the circumstances within
thirty days,  Sublessor  has not  commenced  diligently to prosecute the cure to
completion;  provided,  however, Sublessor shall have ten (10) days after notice
from Sublessee to cure any breach involving a monetary  obligation of Sublessor.
This Paragraph 16.4.1 is subject to any other provision of this Sublease wherein
Sublessee is granted the right to remedy any default by Sublessor.

16.4.2  Sublessee's  Right to Perform  Sublessor's  Obligations Under the Master
Lease.  If Sublessor shall at any time fail to make any payment of rent when due
pursuant  to the terms of  Paragraph  3 of the Master  Lease or perform  any act
required to be performed by Sublessor  when required  under the Master Lease and
notice of such  failure to perform is given by Lessor,  Sublessee  may make such
payment on three (3) days' written  notice to Sublessor,  or perform such act on
Sublessor's  behalf upon ten (10) days' written  notice to Sublessor,  but shall
not be obligated to do so and may do so without  waiving or releasing  Sublessor
from any obligation  under this Sublease.  All sums so paid by Sublessee and all
penalties,  interest  (pursuant to Paragraph  10 above),  and costs  incurred in
connection with such performance of any obligation of Sublessor shall be due and
payable by Sublessor upon demand by Sublessee,  unless  Sublessor  performs such
obligation  within the notice  period  hereunder  and  provides  Sublessee  with
written  evidence that it has performed the same, in which event Sublessor shall
have no liability to Sublessee for the foregoing.

The  foregoing  notwithstanding,  if any dispute  arises  between  Sublessor and
Lessor  over the  payment  of rent  under the  Master  Lease and  Sublessor  has
contested and is actively pursuing a resolution of said dispute, Sublessee shall
not be  entitled  to pay any rent to Lessor  which  Lessor  claims due under the
Master  Lease in excess of the rent due  pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 3 of
the Master Lease.  In such event,  Sublessor  shall protect  Sublessee's  rights
pursuant to this Sublease and prevent its termination, but without waiver of

                              - 22 -


<PAGE>


any rights  Sublessor may have,  including  the right to withhold  payment or to
make  payment  under  protest  of all or a portion of the rent in excess of that
Sublessor believes is due to Lessor under the Master Lease.

17. Quiet Enjoyment. Sublessor covenants and agrees with Sublessee that:

(a) Upon  Sublessee  paying Rent and Charges and  performing  its  covenants and
conditions  under this Sublease,  Sublessee  shall and may peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Sublease Term,  subject,  however,  to
the terms of this Sublease,  the rights reserved by Sublessor  hereunder and all
matters to which this Sublease is subject and subordinate; and

(b) Sublessor  has good and  sufficient  title to the leasehold  interest in the
Premises,  free and clear of all  liens,  encumbrances,  covenants,  conditions,
restrictions,   easements,   exceptions  or  other  limitations,   except  those
covenants, conditions,  restrictions,  easements, encumbrances or exceptions now
of record or hereafter  placed of record to which this Sublease is  subordinated
as required pursuant to the Master Lease.

(c) Sublessor  will at all times save and hold  Sublessee free and harmless from
any claim, demand, cause of action or other act relating to Sublessor's title to
the leasehold  estate in the Premises (other than as expressly  provided herein)
which interferes with the quiet, peaceful and exclusive use and enjoyment of the
Premises, or any part thereof, including but not limited to reasonable costs and
attorneys'  fees  incurred  by  Sublessee  in  defending  any   interference  or
threatened inference therewith.

18.  Right of Entry.  All  references  to "Lessor" in Paragraph 16 of the Master
Lease  shall mean both  Lessor and  Sublessor.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Sublessee  shall have the right  from time to time or at any time in  connection
with the  exercise by  Sublessor  of its access  rights  hereunder  to designate
portions of the Premises as to which access shall be controlled and regulated by
Sublessee  (such as areas of the  Premises  which are subject to  regulation  on
account of Sublessee's confidentiality  requirements).  Sublessor shall abide by
the controls and regulations  imposed by Sublessee with respect to such portions
of the  Premises  and shall  also use  reasonable  efforts  to  impose  the same
requirements  on Lessor  with  respect to its  rights of access to the  Premises
under the Master Lease.

19.  Sublessor's  Right to Perform  Sublessee's  Covenants.  Except as otherwise
provided  herein,  if  Sublessee  commits an Event of  Default,  Sublessor  may,
without  further notice to Sublessee,  but shall not be obligated to and without
waiving or releasing  Sublessee  from any obligation  under this Sublease,  make
such payment or perform such other act to the extent that  Sublessor is required
pursuant  to the Master  Lease or to protect  the  Premises,  and in  connection
therewith,  pay expenses and employ  counsel.  All sums so paid by Sublessor and
ail penalties,  interest  (pursuant to Paragraph 10 above) and costs incurred in
connection  therewith  shall be due and  payable  by  Sublessee  upon  demand by
Sublessor.

                              - 23 -

20.  Surrender of Premises.  On the last day of the Sublease Term or upon sooner
termination  of  this  Sublease,  Sublessee  shall  surrender  the  Premises  to
Sublessor in good, broom clean condition (reasonable wear and tear, acts of God,
condemnation and casualties excepted), subject to the requirements of the Master
Lease. The foregoing notwithstanding,  with respect to casualties covered by the
insurance  required to be carried by  Sublessee  pursuant to Paragraph 27 of the
Master  Lease,  Sublessee  shall  assign  all  insurance  proceeds  received  by
Sublessee and payable to Lessor under the Master Lease to  Sublessor.  Sublessee
shall remove from the  Premises  all of  Sublessee's  personal  property,  trade
fixtures  and those  alterations,  improvements  and  modifications  required by
Sublessor to be removed  under  Paragraph 5 of the Master Lease as  incorporated
under  Paragraph  3.4 above,  or  required  by Lessor to be removed  pursuant to
Paragraph 5 of the Master Lease. All personal property and trade fixtures not so
removed shall be deemed  abandoned by Sublessee.  Furthermore,  Sublessee  shall
immediately repair all damage to the Premises caused by any such removal. If the
Premises are not so surrendered at termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall
indemnify  Sublessor  against  any loss or  liability  resulting  from  delay by
Sublessee in so surrendering the Premises,  including,  without limitation,  any
claims made by any succeeding  sublessee or tenant or losses to Sublessor due to
lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.

21. Option to Purchase. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 29 and 30 of the
Master Lease and Paragraph 22 of this  Sublease,  Sublessor  grants to Sublessee
the option to  purchase  the  Premises  during the  Sublease  Term  ("Option  to
Purchase"), provided Sublessee first exercises its option to extend the Sublease
Term for the First  Extended  Term  pursuant  to  Paragraph  4.2  above,  on the
following terms and conditions:

(a)  Notice.  Sublessee  shall  give  Sublessor's  Agent  written  notice of its
exercise  of the Option to Purchase  no earlier  than  January 1, l998 nor later
than June 30, 1998.

(b)  Automatic  Termination.  If Sublessee  (i) fails to exercise this Option to
Purchase strictly in accordance with the terms of this paragraph or (ii) assigns
this  Option to  Purchase,  other than as part of a valid  Transfer  of at least
seventy-five  percent (75%) of the Premises under Paragraph 15 above,  then this
Option to Purchase and all rights of Sublessee hereunder shall automatically and
immediately  terminate without notice, and each party shall be discharged of its
obligations  hereunder.  In addition,  upon termination of Sublessor's option to
purchase the Premises in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 29 of the Master
Lease,  Sublessee's  Option to Purchase under this Paragraph 21 shall  terminate
(except  as  provided  in  Paragraph  22.1(c)  below)  and each  party  shall be
discharged of its obligations pursuant to this Paragraph 21.

(c) Sublessor to Exercise  Option to Purchase.  If Sublessee  elects to exercise
this Option to  Purchase,  then subject to  Paragraphs  ,9n and 30 of the Master
Lease and Paragraph 22 of this Sublease,  Sublessor shall exercise its option to
purchase the Premises  from Lessor  pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease
on behalf of Sublessee within thirty (30) days from the date Sublessee exercises
this Option to Purchase. Sublessor appoints Sublessee as its special

                              - 24 -


<PAGE>


attorney-in-fact  solely for the  purpose of  exercising  Sublessor's  option to
purchase the Premises  from Lessor  pursuant to Paragraph 10 of the Master Lease
and  Sublessee  shall have the  nonexclusive  right to  exercise  said option in
Sublessor's  name, if and only if Sublessor has not provided  Sublessee with the
written  evidence of its  exercise  of said option to purchase  under the Master
Lease within  thirty-five  (35) days from the date Sublessee  validly  exercises
this Option to Purchase. Accordingly, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee
for  Sublessor's  failure to exercise said Option to Purchase.  Each party shall
deliver  to the  other a copy  of its  exercise  notice  concurrently  with  its
delivery of the same to Lessor.  The foregoing  notwithstanding,  if an Event of
Default exists at the time Sublessee  exercises its Option to Purchase or at any
time either  party  desires or is  required  to exercise  the option to purchase
pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease,  then at such time Sublessor shall
not be obligated to exercise its option to purchase  pursuant to Paragraph 30 of
the Master Lease for  Sublessee's  benefit nor shall Sublessee have any right to
exercise said option to purchase in Sublessor's name as special attorney-in-fact
for Sublessor.

(d) Terms of Sale.  Exercising  this Option to Purchase as provided herein shall
constitute  an  agreement  by Sublessor to sell and by Sublessee to purchase the
Premises on the following terms and conditions:

      (i)  Purchase  Price.  The  purchase  price for the Premises to be paid by
      Sublessee to Sublessor shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
      the annual Rent for the First  Extended Term  (determined  pursuant to the
      terms of Paragraph 5.2 above) by .085.

      (ii)  Payment of Purchase  Price.  Subject to  Paragraph  30 of the Master
      Lease, the purchase price shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor, in cash
      at the close of escrow as set forth  herein.  Sublessee  shall  deposit in
      escrow,  within  thirty (30) days  following  Sublessor's  exercise of its
      option to purchase  the  Premises  pursuant to  Paragraph 30 of the Master
      Lease, either the full purchase price or five percent (5%) of the purchase
      price and the  balance in the form of  lending  commitments  from  lending
      institutions. To the extent permitted by the Master Lease, Sublessor shall
      allow Sublessee to make the election provided to Sublessor in Paragraph 30
      of the  Master  Lease  to  either  assume  the  remaining  balance  of any
      permanent loan financing  encumbering  the Premises at the time of closing
      the  transaction  contemplated  herein,  or pay any prepayment  penalty in
      connection with the early full payment  thereof.  If Lessor does not allow
      Sublessee itself to make such election, Sublessee may require Sublessor to
      make such election on Sublessee's behalf.

      (iii)  Close of Escrow.  An escrow  shall be opened at a title  company of
      Sublessor's  choice (subject to Sublessee's  reasonable  approval)  within
      thirty  (30)  days of  Sublessor's  exercise  of its  option  to  purchase
      pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Lease. Thc close of escrow shall occur not
      later than ninety (90) days thereafter and shall occur  concurrently  with
      close of escrow  pursuant  to  Paragraph  30 under the Master  Lease.  The
      Master Lease and this  Sublease  shall  terminate  concurrently  with said
      close of escrow.

                              - 25 -


<PAGE>


      (iv) Closing Costs. If Lessor transfers ownership of the Premises directly
      to  Sublessee,  all escrow costs and charges  shall be  allocated  between
      Lessor and Sublessee as provided in Paragraph 30 or the Master  Lease.  If
      Sublessor  must  first  purchase  the  Premises  from  Lessor on behalf of
      Sublessee, all escrow costs and charges (including, without limitation any
      prepayment penalties charged to Sublessor pursuant to said Paragraph 30 or
      payable  by  Sublessee  pursuant  to  Paragraph  21(d)(ii)  above) for the
      transfer  of the  Premises  from  Lessor  to  Sublessor,  and  payable  by
      Sublessor  under  Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease shall be  reimbursed to
      Sublessor  by  Sublessee  at the close of escrow  of the  transfer  of the
      Premises  from  Sublessor  to  Sublessee.  All  escrow  costs and  charges
      incurred in the transfer of the Premises from Sublessor to Sublessee shall
      be paid by Sublessee.

      (v) Condition of Title.  Sublessee shall take title to the Premises in the
      same  condition  Lessor is  required  to convey  title to the  Premises to
      Sublessor pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease.

(e) No Warranties.  Subject to the repair and maintenance  obligations of Lessor
and Sublessor and solely in Sublessee's  capacity as purchaser under this Option
to Purchase,  Sublessee  hereby:  (i)  acknowledges  that it has  inspected  the
Premises and observed its physical  characteristics and conditions;  (ii) waives
any and all  objections to said physical  characteristics  and conditions of the
Premises which would be disclosed by such  inspection;  (iii)  acknowledges  and
agrees that the Premises is accepted by Sublessee in its present condition,  "as
is," and that no patent or latent physical  condition of the Premises whether or
not known or  discovered,  shall affect the rights of either party hereto;  (iv)
has  investigated and has knowledge of operative or proposed  governmental  laws
and regulations  including,  but not limited to, zoning,  environmental and land
use laws and  regulations  to which the  Premises  may be  subject;  and (v) has
neither  received nor relied upon any  representations  concerning such laws and
regulations  made by  Sublessor  or any other  person  acting on or in behalf of
Sublessor.

(f) Time.  Time is of the essence of this Option to  Purchase.  If the Option to
Purchase is not  exercised  in the manner  provided  herein,  then the Option to
Purchase  shall  terminate and may not be revived by any  subsequent  payment or
further action by Sublessee.

(g) Right to Exchange.  Sublessee  acknowledges  Lessor's  right to exchange the
Premises,  pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, for one or more other
properties  of like kind,  and agrees to  cooperate  in and  facilitate  such an
exchange and to accept conveyance of and acquire the Premises from a third party
should  Lessor  elect to enter into such an  exchange  prior to the date set for
close of escrow under the Option to Purchase,  so long as Sublessee  shall incur
no additional costs, fees, expenses, obligations or liabilities thereby.

(h)  Notice  Binding  Subject  to the  provisions  Of this  Paragraph  21,  once
Sublessee  delivers notice of its exercise of the Option to Purchase,  Sublessee
may not withdraw such exercise.

                              - 26 -


<PAGE>


(i) Limitation of Obligations of Sublessor; Indemnification.  Except as provided
in this  Paragraph  21 and unless  required to do so to  exercise  the option to
purchase  pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease (in which event Sublessor
shall be reimbursed by Sublessee  upon the close of escrow for the conveyance of
the Premises from  Sublessor to Sublessee),  Sublessor  shall not be required to
incur any costs or assume any evidence of  indebtedness  in connection  with its
exercise of the option to purchase  pursuant to Paragraph 30 of the Master Lease
on behalf of Sublessee.  Sublessee  shall  indemnify,  defend,  protect and hold
Sublessor  harmless  from and  against  any and all  losses,  costs,  claims  or
liability arising in connection with the acquisition and conveyance by Sublessor
of the Premises and any required  assumption of indebtedness,  other than as may
arise due to neglect, an act, or a default hereunder by Sublessor. The indemnity
and hold harmless obligation shall exist whether or not escrow between Sublessor
and  Sublessee  closes,  and shall  survive the close of escrow with  respect to
Sublessor and Lessor,  the close of escrow between Sublessor and Sublessee,  and
shall not merge with any deed or conveyance executed by Sublessee.

22. Right of First Refusal.

22.1 Sublessee's Right to Exercise Right of First Refusal. If Sublessor receives
notice  from Lessor  pursuant to  Paragraph  29 of the Master  Lease  during the
Sublease Term on or before June 30, 1998, then Sublessor grants to Sublessee the
right to require  Sublessor to exercise  Sublessor's  right of first  refusal as
provided in Paragraph 29 of the Master Lease and thereafter  convey the Premises
to Sublessee on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Within three (3) days of receiving  Lessor's notice of any offer to purchase
all or a portion of the  Premises or Lessor's  offer to sell all or a portion of
the Premises  pursuant to Paragraph 29 of the Master Lease ("Lessor's  Notice"),
Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with a copy of Lessor's Notice.

(b)  Sublessee  shall have eight (8) days from  receipt  of  Lessor's  Notice to
notify  Sublessor's  Agent in writing of  Sublessee's  election to exercise  the
right of first  refusal  offered in  Lessor's  Notice.  If  Sublessee  elects to
exercise the right of first refusal offered in Lessor's  Notice,  then Sublessor
will exercise its right of first refusal  pursuant to Paragraph 29 of the Master
Lease on behalf of  Sublessee  (subject  to the terms of  Paragraph  22.3 below)
within  five (5) days from  receipt  of  Sublessee's  Notice of its elect ion to
exercise.

(c) If  Sublessee  elects not to exercise  Its first right to the right of first
refusal offered in Lessor's Notice or fails to notify  Sublessor's  Agent within
said eight (8) day period, then Sublessor's Agent shall have eight (8) days from
receipt of Sublessee's  notice of  non-election  (or from the expiration of said
eight  (8)  Way  period,  whichever  occurs  earlier)  to  notify  Sublessee  of
Sublessor's  election to exercise  said right of first refusal on its own behalf
or not to exercise said right of first refusal.  If Sublessor elects to exercise
said  right of first  refusal  on its own  behalf,  then  Sublessee's  Option to
Purchase pursuant to Paragraph 21

                              - 27 -


<PAGE>


above  shall  remain in full  force  and  effect  in  accordance  with the terms
thereof.  (d) If  Sublessor  elects not to exercise  the right of first  refusal
offered in Lessor's  Notice  pursuant  to  subparagraph  (c) above,  or fails to
notify  Sublessee  within said additional  eight (8) day period,  then Sublessee
shall  have  five (5)  days  from  receipt  of  Sublessor's  Agent's  notice  of
non-election  (or from the  expiration  of said eight (8) day period,  whichever
occurs earlier) to notify Sublessor's Agent of Sublessee's  election to exercise
said right of first  refusal.  If  Sublessee  so elects to exercise the right of
first refusal offered in Lessor's Notice, then Sublessor will exercise its right
of first  refusal  pursuant  to  Paragraph  29 of the Master  Lease on behalf of
Sublessee  (subject to the terms of Paragraph  22.3 below)  within five (5) days
from receipt of  Sublessee's  Notice of its  election to exercise.  If Sublessee
does not  elect to  exercise  the right of first  refusal  offered  in  Lessor's
Notice, then the Option to Purchase shall terminate, and Sublessee shall have no
further right to acquire the Premises.

(e) If Sublessee  elects not to exercise the right of first  refusal  offered in
Lessor's  Notice  pursuant  to  subparagraph  (d)  above,  or  fails  to  notify
Sublessor's  Agent within said five (5) day period,  then Sublessor may exercise
its right of first  refusal on its own behalf  pursuant to  Paragraph  29 of the
Master  Lease,  free  and  clear of any  right of  Sublessee  to the  Option  to
Purchase.

22.2  Attorney-in-Fact.  If  Sublessee  elects  to  exercise  the right of first
refusal,  Sublessor shall exercise its right of first refusal under Paragraph 29
of the Master Lease  within the time periods set forth in Paragraph  22.1 above.
Sublessor  appoints  Sublessee  as its special  attorney-in-fact  solely for the
purpose of exercising  Sublessor's  right of first refusal pursuant to Paragraph
29 of the Master  Lease,  and  Sublessee  shall have the  nonexclusive  right to
exercise  such  right of  first  refusal  in  Sublessor's  name,  if and only if
Sublessor has not provided  Sublessee  with written  evidence of its exercise of
said right of first refusal  within the time periods set forth in Paragraph 22.1
above.  Accordingly,  Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for Sublessor's
failure to exercise said right of first refusal. Each party shall deliver to the
other a copy of its exercise notice  concurrently  with its delivery of the same
to Lessor. The foregoing  notwithstanding,  if an Event of Default exists at the
time Sublessee  exercises the right of first refusal  pursuant to this Paragraph
22 or at any time either  party  desires or is required to exercise the right of
first  refusal  under  Paragraph  29 of the  Master  Lease,  then at  such  time
Sublessor shall not be obligated to exercise the right of first refusal pursuant
to Paragraph 29 of the Master Lease for Sublessee's  benefit nor shall Sublessee
have any right to exercise  said right of first refusal in  Sublessor's  name as
special attorney-in-fact for Sublessor.

22.3 Terms of Sale.  If  Sublessee  timely and validly  exercises  said right of
first  refusal as  provided  above,  then the Master  Lease and  Sublease  shall
terminate  upon  acquisition  by  Sublessee of fee title to the  Premises.  Such
exercise by Sublessee shall constitute an agreement by Sub-

                              - 28 -

      (ii) The present value at the time of payment,  if applicable,  determined
      by applying a discount  rate of nine percent (9%) per annum of the excess,
      if any, of the  purchase  price under the Option to  Purchase,  calculated
      pursuant to Paragraph  21(d)(i)  above,  over the purchase price under the
      right of first refusal; plus

      (iii) The present value at the time of payment  (determined  by applying a
      discount  rate of nine  percent  (9%) per annum) of the excess of the Rent
      that would be payable by Sublessee  hereunder  over the rent that would be
      payable by Sublessor to Lessor pursuant to the Master Lease (assuming rent
      is  calculated  as  provided in  Amendment  #3) for the  remaining  months
      (prorated  based on the number of days in the  particular  month,  for any
      partial month) in the initial Sublease Term beginning with the date escrow
      closes on  Sublessee's  purchase of the Premises  under the right of first
      refusal and ending with the last month of the tenth (10th)  calendar  year
      of the Sublease Term (December 31, 1997); plus

      (iv) The present value at the time of payment,  if applicable,  determined
      by applying a discount  rate of nine  percent (9%) per annum of the excess
      of the Rent that would be payable by Sublessee  hereunder  (determined  in
      accordance with 2203(b)(iii)  below),  over the rent that would be payable
      by Sublessor  to Lessor  pursuant to the Master  Lease  (assuming  rent is
      calculated as provided in Amendment #3) for the eleventh  (11th)  calendar
      year of this Sublease (January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998).

(b) Payment of Purchase Price.  The purchase price shall be paid by Sublessee to
Sublessor as follows:

      (i) The amount set forth in  Paragraph  22.3(a)(i)  above shall be paid in

      (ii) The  amount  set  forth  in  Paragraph  22.3(a)(iii)  shall  be  paid
      to Sublessor's Agent in rash at close of escrow: and

      (iii)  The  parties  hereto  recognize  that  the  amounts  set  forth  in
      Paragraphs  22.3(a)(ii) and 22.3(a)(iv)  above cannot be determined  until
      the tenth (10th) year of the Sublease  Term,  as provided in Paragraph 5.2
      above,  at which  time this  Sublease  and the  Master  Lease  shall  have
      terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 22.  Nevertheless,
      in order to determine the amounts set forth in Paragraphs  22.3(a)(ii) and
      22.3(a)(iv)  above,  the parties  shall first attempt to agree on the Rent
      which would have been payable  hereunder during the First Extended Term at
      the time

      of exercise by Sublessee of said right of first refusal. If, at such time,
      the  parties  agree  oaths Rent which  would have been  payable  hereunder
      during the First Extended Term,  then Sublessee  shall pay to Sublessor at
      close of escrow,  the  amounts  set forth in  Paragraphs  22.3(a)(ii)  and
      22.3(a)(iv)  based on such agreed-to rent,  discounted to present value as
      of the date of payment at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum.  If the
      parties cannot reach agreement on such Rent for the First Extended Term at
      the time the right of first  refusal is exercised by  Sublessee,  then the
      parties  shall utilize the  procedures  set forth in Paragraph 5.2 of this
      Sublease  beginning on May 1, 1997,  which is the last date  Sublessee may
      exercise  its option to extend the  Sublease  Term for the First  Extended
      Term. If the  procedures set forth in Paragraph 5.2 above must be utilized
      at a future  date,  the amounts set forth in  Paragraphs  22.3(a)(ii)  and
      22.3(a)(iv)  shall be determined no later than December 31, 1997 and shall
      be payable in full to Sublessor by Sublessee on or before January 1, 1998.

(c) Close of Escrow. Close of escrow between Sublessor and Sublessee shall occur
concurrently  with close of escrow  between  Lessor and  Sublessor,  which shall
occur pursuant to the terms of Lessor's notice.

(d) Closing  Costs.  All escrow costs and other  charges for which  Sublessor is
responsible  in  connection  with the  transfer of the  Premises  from Lessor to
Sublessor shall be paid by Sublessee.  All escrow costs and charges  incurred in
the  transfer of the  Premises  from  Sublessor  to  Sublessee  shall be paid by
Sublessee.

22.4 Limitations on Sublessor's  Obligations;  Indemnification.  Sublessor shall
not be  required  to incur any costs,  assume any  secured  loan or execute  any
promissory  note or  other  evidence  of  indebtedness  in  connection  with its
exercise of said right of first refusal on behalf of Sublessee  (unless required
to do so to exercise the right of first refusal  pursuant to Paragraph 29 of the
Master Lease,  in which event  Sublessor  shall be reimbursed by Sublessee  upon
close of escrow for the conveyance of the Premises from Sublessor to Sublessee).
Sublessee shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Sublessor harmless from and
against any and all losses,  costs,  claims or liability  arising in  connection
with the  acquisition  and  conveyance  by  Sublessor  of the  Premises  and any
required assumption of indebtedness,  other than as may arise due to neglect, an
act, or a default  hereunder  by  Sublessor.  The  indemnity  and hold  harmless
obligation  shall exist  whether or not escrow  between  Sublessor and Sublessee
closes,  and shall  survive the close of escrow with  respect to  Sublessor  and
Lessor, the close of escrow between Sublessor and Sublessee, and shall not merge
with any deed or conveyance executed by Sublessee.

willful misconduct of Sublessor or its agents or employees,  or by the breach by
Sublessor of any  obligation  under this Sublease or the Master  Lease,  neither
Sublessor nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any damage to property
of

equipment,  inventory or other  property of either  Sublessor  or Sublessee  in,
about or upon the Premises, which is caused by or results from perils, events or
happenings which are the subject of insurance carried by the respective  parties
pursuant  to this  Sublease  or  otherwise  carried  by the  respective  parties
covering the Premises and in force at the time of any such loss,  whether due to
the  negligence,  of the other  party or its agents and  regardless  of cause or

Premises caused or contributed to by Sublessee or Sublessee's agents, or arising

24.2  Surrender of Sublease Not Merger.  Subject to the provisions  hereof,  the
voluntary  or  other  surrender  of this  Sublease  by  Sublessee,  or a  mutual
cancellation  thereof,  shall  not work a merger  and  shall,  at the  option of
Sublessor, terminate all or any existing sub-subleases, or may, at the option of
Sublessor,   operate  as  an   assignment  to  Sublessor  of  any  or  all  such
sub-subleases. The foregoing notwithstanding and subject to the Master Lease, if
(i)  Sublessor's  consent to the Transfer was requested and given at the time of
the Transfer;  (ii) a sub-sublessee  of the entire Premises or a portion thereof
is paying rent which is equal to or greater than the Rent (or allocable  portion
calculated  on a "per square foot" basis if the  Transfer  affects less than the
entire  Premises)  paid by  Sublessee  hereunder  during the entire  term of the
sub-sublease;   (iii)  the  portion  of  the   Premises   not  subject  to  such
sub-sublease(s) is, in Sublessor's reasonable judgment,  leaseable,  independent
of the  portion  of the  Premises  subject  to such  sub-sublease(s);  (iv) such
subsublessee is creditworthy,  in Sublessor's  reasonable judgment, and (v) such
sub-sublessee  is not in  default  under  the  terms of its  sub-sublease,  then
Sublessor shall permit such sub-sublease to remain in full force and effect.

this Sublease requiring performance within a specified time.

shall for any  reason be held to be  invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  in any
respect,  such invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability  shall not affect any
other  provision of this  Sublease,  but this Sublease  shall be construed as if
such invalid,  illegal or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.
However,  if  Sublessee's  obligation to pay Rent is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, this Sublease at the option of Sublessor shall terminate.

other party against all  liability  incurred (or  threatened  against) the other
party as a party defendant, including all damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

in the Premises or the insolvency, dissolution, or bankruptcy of Sublessor.

are  the  entire  agreement  between  the  parties,  and  there  are no  binding
agreements or  representations  between the parties except as expressed  herein.
Any agreements,  warranties or  representations  not expressly  contained herein
shall in no way bind either Sublessor or Sublessee,  and Sublessor and Sublessee
expressly   waive  all   claims  for   damages  by  reason  of  any   statement,
representation,  warranty,  promise or agreement,  if any, not contained in this
Sublease.   This   Sublease   supersedes   and  cancels  any  and  all  previous
negotiations,  arrangements,  brochures, agreements and understandings,  whether
written or oral,  between  Sublessor and its agents and Sublessee and its agents
with  respect  to  the  Premises  and  appurtenances   thereto.   This  Sublease

and represent to the other that neither has authorized or employed,  or acted by
implication to authorize or to employ,  any other real estate broker or salesman
or other person to act for  Sublessor or Sublessee,  respectively  in connection
with this Sublease.  Each party shall indemnify and defend the other against and

and expenses,  including without limitation  reasonable attorneys' fees, arising
from any claim by Cooper/Brady for commissions owing.

nothing in this Sublease shall subordinate Sublessee's leasehold interest in the
Premises to any deed of trust,  mortgage,  or instrument  of security  affecting
Sublessor's  leasehold  interest,  and  Sublessee's  attornment  to any party is
conditioned upon (i) recognition and continuation of this Sublease following any

which is now or hereafter  regulated by such government  entity,  or which must,

Education and Welfare, the California Department of Health Services or any other
local, state or federal  governmental agency or authority actually regulating or
now or  hereafter  authorized  to  regulate  hazardous  or toxic  materials  and
substances in the environment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the  term  "Hazardous  Material"  shall  include  all  of  those  materials  and
substances  (i) defined as "toxic  materials" in Sections 66680 through 66685 of
Title 22 of the California  Administrative  Code, Division 4, Chapter 30, as the
same may be  amended  from time to time,  or (ii) any other  hazardous  or toxic
substance,  material  or  waste  which  is or  becomes  regulated  by any  local
governmental  authority,  any agency of the State of California or any agency of
the United  States  Government,  as the above may be amended  from time to time.
Sublessee has provided  Sublessor with a list of all Hazardous  Materials  which
Sublessee  plans to use or anticipates it will use on the Premises and Sublessee
shall notify  Sublessor  from time to time during the Sublease Term if Sublessee
plans to use any additional Hazardous Materials on the Premises not contained on
the list ("Permitted Hazardous Materials").

28.2 Use of Premises and Compliance With Laws. Neither Sublessee nor Sublessee's
employees,  agents,  contractors,  assignees,  sub-sublessees  or invitees shall
permit the introduction, placement, use, storage or disposition of any Permitted
Hazardous  Materials in or about the Premises  unless such  Permitted  Hazardous
Materials are contained, stored, used and disposed in a safe manner and strictly
in  accordance  with all  federal,  state and local laws and  government  rules,
regulations and guidelines and, all necessary  permits and licenses from any and
all regulatory agencies having jurisdiction have been obtained.  Sublessee shall
clean,  decontaminate or otherwise correct the effects of any such introduction,
placement,  use,  storage or disposition of Hazardous  Materials in or about the

contractors, assignees, sub-sublessees, invitees or any other third party on the
Premises, in the manner and in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

against  all  costs  incurred  by  Sublessor  resulting  from a  breach  of this
Paragraph 28.2.

28.3 Notice.  Sublessee shall immediately  notify Sublessor of any breach of the
requirements  set forth in Paragraph 28.2 above.  In addition,  Sublessee  shall
immediately notify Sublessor of any inquiry, test,  investigation or enforcement
proceeding  by or against  Sublessee,  or the  Premises  involving  a  Hazardous
Material.  The results of any  inquiry,  test,  or  investigation  conducted  by
Sublessee or  Sublessee's  employees,  agents or  contractors  to determine  the
presence of Hazardous  Materials in and about the Premises  shall be provided to
Sublessor  promptly  upon receipt of such  results by  Sublessee or  Sublessee's
employees,  agents or  contractors,  but Sublessee and Sublessor shall otherwise
use reasonable good faith efforts to keep such information confidential,  except
to the extent  that  disclosure  of such  information  is required by law. If an
Event of Default exists with respect to this Paragraph 28,  Sublessor shall have
the right, at Sublessee's cost and expense,  to negotiate,  defend,  approve and
appeal any action taken or order issued by an applicable

                              - 35 -


<PAGE>


governmental  authority concerning such Hazardous Material.  If such an Event of
Default does not exist, Sublessor may nevertheless,  but at Sublessor's cost and
without  unreasonably  interfering  with  Sublessee's  actions,  participate  in
Sublessee's  negotiations,  defense,  approval or appeal of any action  taken or
order issued.

28.4  Indemnification.  Sublessee  shall  indemnify,  hold harmless,  and defend
Sublessor  against  all  costs  (including  without  limitation  the cost of any
studies  or  investigations  to  determine  the  nature,  extent  and/or  proper
remediation of any Hazardous Material), claims, losses or liabilities for injury
or death to any person,  or for damage to or loss of use of any  property or the
environment,  arising out of or in connection with the introduction,  placement,
use,  storage or disposition of any Hazardous  Material in or about the Premises
by  Sublessee,  or  Sublessee's  employees,   agents,  contractors,   assignees,
sub-sublessees  or invitees or any other third party on the Premises  during the
Sublease Term and the removal or clean-up of such Hazardous Materials, including
the payment of any fines and penalties  levied in connection  with such actions,
or  discharging  any  lien  on the  Premises  securing  the  foregoing  cost  of
correction.

28.5 Charges.  All costs payable by Sublessee under this Paragraph 28 during the
Sublease Term shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor upon demand, as Charges.

28.6 Liens.  Sublessee shall not cause or suffer any lien to be recorded against
the Premises as a  consequence  of, or in any way related to, the  introduction,
placement,  use,  storage or disposition  of Hazardous  Material in or about the
Premises by Sublessee or Sublessee's employees, agents, contractors,  assignees,
sub-sublessees  or invitees or any other third party on the Premises  during the
Sublease Term and the removal or clean-up of such Hazardous Materials, including
any so-called state, federal or local "super fund" lien relating thereto. To the
extent permitted by the Master Lease,  Sublessee shall have the right to contest
the  payment of any lien  described  herein in the name of Lessor (to the extent
permitted by the Master  Lease),  in the name of Sublessor,  or in its own name.
Sublessor shall execute all documents necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
contest  and will use  reasonable  efforts to cause  Lessor to do the same.  Any
steps, actions or proceedings instituted by Sublessee shall be at the expense of
Sublessee.  Sublessee  shall  indemnify  and hold  Sublessor  harmless  from and
against all loss, costs,  liability,  claims,  damages,  and expenses (including
without limitation,  reasonable attorneys' fees), penalties,  and fines incurred
in connection with or arising from such contest by Sublessee.

28. Sublessor's Right of Access.  Subject to Paragraph 18 above, Sublessor shall
have the right to enter upon the Premises if Sublessor  has  reasonable  grounds
for doing so and with reasonable prior written notice (except in the event of an
emergency,  in which  case no  notice  shall be  required)  for the  purpose  of
performing tests to determine the existence and extent of Hazardous Materials in
or about the Premises. In performing such tests,  Sublessor shall use reasonable
efforts to cause the least interference with Sublessee's business operations and
shall,  upon  completion  of the tests,  restore the  Premises to the  condition
existing prior to per-

                              - 36 -


<PAGE>


forming such tests.  Sublessor shall indemnify and hold Sublessee and its agents
harmless  from any loss,  claim,  liability  or  expense,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  arising  out of,  or in  connection  with  such  entry on the
Premises or the performance of such tests or work.

28.8 Assignment and Subletting.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph
15 above to the contrary, it shall be presumptively  reasonable for Sublessor to
withhold  its  consent to any  proposed  assignment  or  subletting,  if (i) the
proposed  assignee's or  sub-sublessee's  anticipated use of the Premises or any
portion  thereof  involves  the   introduction,   placement,   use,  storage  or
disposition of any Hazardous  Materials  considered  ultra-hazardous  by law, or
(ii) if the  proposed  assignee or  sub-sublessee  (A) has been  required by any
prior owner, sublessor,  lender or governmental authority to clean up and remove
any  Hazardous  Material,  or (B) is subject or has been  subject in the past to
investigation or enforcement orders or proceedings by any governmental agency or
authority  in  connection  with  the  introduction,   placement,  use,  storage,
disposition or clean-up of Hazardous  Material,  to an extent that the existence
of  the  facts  described  in  either  subparagraph  (A) or  (B)  indicates,  in
Sublessor's  reasonable judgment, a pattern of conduct or behavior of the misuse
of Hazardous Materials.

29.  Memorandum of Sublease.  In connection with the execution of this Sublease,
Sublessor and  Sublessee  shall  execute in  recordable  form, a "Memorandum  of
Sublease,  Option to  Purchase  and  Right of First  Refusal"  referencing  this
Sublease  document  and  setting  forth  the  true  and  legal  description  and
assessor's parcel number of the Premises, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
"B" for recordation in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California.

30.  Sublessor's  Undertaking  With Respect to Master  Lease.  Sublessor  hereby
represents  and warrants to Sublessee that the copy of the Master Lease attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" is a true and complete copy of the Master Lease,  and that
to Sublessor's  knowledge the Master Lease is in full force and effect, and that
there is no default on the part of any party  thereto  nor any facts  which with
notice,  the passage of time, or both,  would  constitute a default by any party
under the  Master  Lease.  Sublessor  shall  perform  those  obligations  of the
"Lessee"  under the Master Lease which are not the  obligations  of Sublessee to
perform pursuant to the terms of this Sublease,  unless Sublessor's  performance
is excused hereunder by reason of the existence of an Event of Default.

31.  Covenant  of Good  Faith and Fair  Dealing.  Subject to the  provisions  of
Paragraph  16 above,  no party shall do anything  which shall have the effect of
harming or injuring the right of the other party to receive the benefits of this
Sublease;  each party shall refrain from doing  anything  which would render its
performance under this Sublease  impossible;  and each party shall do everything
which this Sublease contemplates that such party shall do in order to accomplish
the objectives and purposes of this Sublease.

32. Sublessor's Agent. Sublessor warrants that Sublessor's Agent is the agent of
Sublessor  and,  as to those  matters  with  respect  to  which it is  expressly
provided under this Sublease that Sublessor's Agent may act on behalf of

                              - 37 -

Sublessor,  for purposes of this Sublease, has the authority to so act on behalf
of  Sublessor,  upon which acts  Sublessee  may rely.  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the

                                 LEASE AGREEMENT
This Lease is dated March 24, 1989 for  reference  purposes  only and is made by
and between DE ANZA BOULEVARD INVESTMENTS, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP and BERG & BERG
DEVELOPERS,   A  CALIFORNIA  PARTNERSHIP   (hereinafter  "Landlord")  and  APPLE
COMPUTER,  INC., a California  corporation  (hereinafter  "Tenant").  For and in
consideration of the rental and of the covenants and agreements  hereinafter set

term,  at the rental and  subject  to and upon all of the terms,  covenants  and
agreements hereinafter set forth.

1. PREMISES.

1.1  Description.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby rents from
Landlord  those  certain  premises  (the  "Premises")  located  in the  City  of
Cupertino, County of Santa Clara, described and consisting of the following:

      A. That certain land and  building  sometimes  referred to as "De Anza 3",
      commonly  known as 10500 North De Anza  Boulevard,  and more  particularly
      described on the attached Exhibit "A", which building  contains a total of
      211,000 square feet of floor space (the "Building"); and

      B. The existing interior improvements and additional improvements that may
      be constructed in the Building by Tenant.

1.2 Work of Improvement.  Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in their
existing  condition.  Landlord  shall not be  required  to remodel or  otherwise
construct  any  improvements  or  make  any  alterations  to the  Premises.  Any
alterations,  additions or improvements  to the Premises  required or desired by
Tenant shall be constructed  by Tenant at its sole cost and expense,  subject to
the provisions of Section 7.3A.

2. TERM.

2.1 Term.  The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall  commence on April 1,
1989 (the "Commencement Date"). The term of this Lease shall end eight (8) years
and two (2) months  following  the  Commencement  Date (i.e.,  on May 31, 1997),
unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or extended
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.

2.2  Options to Extend  Lease  Term.  Landlord  hereby  grants to Tenant two (2)
separate  options  to  extend  the  Lease  Term for five (5) years for each such
option on the following terms and conditions:

      A.  Tenant  must give  Landlord  notice in writing of its  exercise of the
      option in question no later than one hundred  eighty (180) days before the
      day the Lease Term would end but for said exercise.

      B. Tenant may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to any option  granted by
      this paragraph if Tenant is in material default as of the date of exercise
      of the option in question, as such defaults are defined in Section 16.

C. All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during each option period,
except that:  (i) the Base  Monthly  Rent for the first  option  period shall be
Three Hundred  Sixty-One  Thousand Five Hundred Seventy  Dollars  ($361,570) per
month, and (ii) the Base Monthly Rent for the second option period shall be Four
Hundred  Thirty-Three  Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Four Dollars ($433,884) per
month.

3. RENT.

3.1 Base Monthly Rent.  Beginning on the Commencement  Date and continuing until
May 31, 1989, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Monthly Rent for the Premises
the sum of Two Hundred  Ninety-Five  Thousand Four Hundred  Thirty-Four  Dollars
($295,434)  per month.  Beginning on June 1, 1989,  and  continuing  through the
remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord

                               - 1 -


<PAGE>


as Base  Monthly  Rent  for the  Premises,  the sum of Two  Hundred  Ninety-Nine
Thousand Six Hundred Twenty Dollars ($299,620) per month,  subject,  however, to
adjustment  as  provided  in Section 3.2 and,  if one or both of the options to
extend are exercised,
Section 2.2C.

Base  Monthly  Rent shall be paid in  advance on the first day of each  calendar
month of the term of the  Lease,  without  deduction,  offset,  prior  notice or
demand,  in lawful money of the United States.  If the Commencement  Date is not
the first day of a month, or if the Lease  termination  date is not the last day
of a month,  a prorated Base Monthly Rent shall be paid at the then current rate
for the fractional month during which the Lease commences and/or terminates.

3.2 Rental  Adjustment.  The Base  Monthly  Rent shall be  increased  during the
initial Lease Term as follows:

      A. On the first day of the thirty-third  (33rd) full calendar month of the
      Lease Term,  the Base Monthly  Rent shall be  increased  to Three  Hundred
      Twelve Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Dollars ($312,280) per month.

      B. On the first day of the  sixty-third  (63rd) full calendar month of the
      Lease Term,  the Base Monthly  Rent shall be  increased  to Three  Hundred
      Twenty-Two Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty Dollars ($322,830) per month.

3.3 Late Charge.  Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
the Base Monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder  may cause  Landlord to incur
costs  not  contemplated  by this  Lease,  the  exact  amount  of which  will be
extremely  difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include,  but are not limited to,
processing  and  accounting  charges  and late  charges  which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust  covering  the  Premises.
Accordingly,  in the event Tenant fails to pay any  installment  of Base Monthly
Rent  and/or  other sums due  hereunder  within ten (10) days after said rent or
other  sum is due,  Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord  a late  charge  equal to two
percent (2%) of such  overdue  amount.  The parties  agree that such late charge
represents a fair and  reasonable  estimate of the cost  Landlord  will incur by
reason of late payment by Tenant.

4. TAXATION.

4.1 Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all real property
taxes which, during the term of this Lease, are levied, assessed or imposed upon
or against the  Premises.  In the event any such real  property  taxes cover any
period of time prior to commencement or after the expiration of the term of this
Lease,  Tenant's  obligation  to pay such taxes shall be  equitably  prorated to
cover only the period of time within the fiscal tax year during  which the Lease
is in effect.

As used in this Lease,  the term "real  property  tax" shall include any form of
assessment, levy, penalty or tax (other than inheritance,  estate, net income or
franchise  taxes) imposed by any authority  having the power to tax,  including,
without limitation, any tax:

      A. Upon, allocable to, or measured by the Premises or the
      rental payable hereunder; or

      B. Upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
      operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use
      or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion
      thereof; or

      C. Upon or measured by the value of Tenant's personal
      property, equipment or fixtures located in the Premises; or

      D.  Upon  this  transaction  or any  document  to which  Tenant is a party
      creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

      E. Tenant  acknowledges  that it is responsible  for any increase in taxes
      due to a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Premises.


                               - 2 -


<PAGE>


4.2 Personal  Property  Taxes.  Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency  all taxes
assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings,  equipment and all
other personal property of Tenant located in the Premises.

4.3  Assessments.  If any  assessments are levied against the Premises after the
date hereof and Landlord has the option to either pay the  assessment in full or
allow the assessment to go to bond and to pay it in installments, Landlord shall
cause the assessment to go to bond and be paid in  installments of principal and
interest.  Tenant shall pay as its share of each such installment  which becomes
due during the Lease Term, an amount based upon the ratio of the square  footage
of  the  Premises  to the  square  footage  of  the  property  covered  by  such
assessment,  or such other  equitable basis as agreed to by Landlord and Tenant,
provided  if the taxing  authority  requires a lump sum  payment of such  bonded
assessment during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay such payment when due.

4.4  Right to  Contest.  If  Landlord  receives  any  notice  of  assessment  or
reassessment  in excess of five  percent (5%) more than the  assessment  for the
prior period,  or notice of any imposition of new real property taxes,  Landlord
shall provide  Tenant with a copy of such notice within  fifteen (15) days after
Landlord's receipt thereof. In the event Tenant desires in good faith to contest
or otherwise  review by  appropriate  legal or  administrative  proceedings  the
imposition of any such real property tax,  Tenant shall,  at least ten (10) days
prior to the delinquency of such real property tax, give Landlord written notice
of its intention to do so. Tenant may withhold  payment of the real property tax
being  contested if (i)  non-payment  is  permitted  during the pendency of such
proceedings  without the  foreclosure  of any tax lien or the  imposition of any
fine or penalty,  and (ii) if required by any  beneficiary of a deed of trust of
Landlord's interest in the Premises, or purchaser of Landlord's interest, Tenant
shall furnish Landlord with a bond sufficient to protect Landlord's  Interest in
the Premises.  Any such contest  shall be conducted  without delay and solely at
Tenant's  expense.  Tenant shall protect and indemnify  Landlord against any and
all expenses or damages resulting from such contest of other proceeding.  At the
request of Tenant, Landlord shall join in any contest or other proceedings which
Tenant may desire to bring  pursuant to this  Section.  Tenant  shall pay all of
Landlord's expenses arising out of such joinder.  Within ten (10) days after the
final  determination  of the amount  due from  Tenant  with  respect to the real
property tax  contested,  Tenant shall pay the amount so  determined  to be due,
together with all costs, expenses and interest,  whether or not this Lease shall
have then expired or terminated.

5. USE.

5.1 Use.  The  Premises  shall  be used  and  occupied  by  Tenant  for only the
following  purposes and for no other purpose  whatsoever  without  obtaining the
prior  written  consent of  Landlord:  office,  light  warehouse,  distribution,
engineering,  research and development, product testing, incidental training and
any other  legal uses for  Tenant's  business as the same may exist from time to
time. This Lease shall be subject to all applicable zoning ordinances and to any
municipal,  county and state laws and  regulations  governing and regulating the
use of the Premises.

5.2 Uses Prohibited.

     A.  Tenant  shall  not do or  permit  anything  to be done in or about  the
     Premises  which will  increase  the  existing  rate of  insurance  upon the
     Premises (unless Tenant shall pay any increased premium as a result of such
     use or acts) or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the
     Premises,  nor shall  Tenant sell or permit to be kept,  used or sold in or
     upon the Premises,  any articles which may be prohibited by a standard form
     policy of fire insurance.

     B. Tenant shall not allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful  purpose
     nor shall  Tenant  cause,  maintain  or permit any  nuisance in or upon the
     Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or
     upon the Premises and Tenant shall keep the Premises in a clean condition.

     C. Tenant shall not use the Premises, or permit anything to
     be in or about the Premises which will violate any Laws now
     in force or which may
                               - 3 -


<PAGE>


      hereafter be enacted or promulgated.  Subject to the provisions of Section
      7.3,  Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense  promptly  comply with all
      Laws now in  force  or which  may  hereafter  be in force  relating  to or
      affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of
      any court of  competent  jurisdiction  or the  admission  of Tenant in any
      action against  Tenant,  whether  Landlord is a party thereto or not, that
      Tenant has violated any Laws shall be  conclusive  of that fact as between
      Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall have the right at its expense to contest
      the application to it or the Premises of any Laws and to defer  compliance
      during the pendency of such  contest so long as Landlord is not  subjected
      to any civil or criminal liability by reason of Tenant's noncompliance.

6. UTILITIES AND WASTE DISPOSAL.

6.1 Utilities.  Commencing on the Commencement  Date,  Tenant shall pay prior to
delinquency,  for all water, gas, heat, light,  power,  telephone,  sewage,  air
conditioning and ventilating, scavenger, Janitorial, and all other materials and
utilities supplied to the Premises and all taxes and surcharges thereon.

6.2 Waste  Disposal.  Tenant shall store its waste either inside the Premises or
in its own dumpsters located outside the Premises.

6.3  Interference  with  Use  of  the  Premises.  In  the  event  of a  material
interference  with Tenant's use of the leased  Premises as a consequence  of the
cessation  of  utility  service  caused  by  the  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, Tenant
shall be  entitled to an  abatement  of Base  Monthly  Rent to the extent of the
interference  with  Tenant's use of the leased  Premises,  if such  cessation of
utility service and consequent material  interference  persists for a continuous
period of two (2)  business  days or more.  Any  abatement  of Base Monthly Rent
shall  commence with the first business day after the beginning of the cessation
of utility  service  and shall  continue  until  that date on which the  utility
service is restored.

7. MAINTENANCE. REPAIRS. AND ALTERATIONS.

7.1 Landlord's  Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12 and except
for damage caused by the negligence,  omission, or intentional act of Tenant and

Landlord's  expense,  shall  keep  in  good  order,  condition  and  repair  the
foundation, building structure, and load-bearing walls of the Premises. Landlord
shall  have no  obligation  to make  repairs  under  this  Section 7.1  until a

If, within thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant, Landlord fails to commence
making  repairs which are the  obligation of Landlord under this Section 7.1 and
diligently  prosecute  such work to  completion,  Tenant shall have the right to
make such repairs and charge Landlord for the reasonable  cost thereof.  In such
event,  Landlord  shall  reimburse  Tenant for the cost of such  repairs  within
thirty (30) days after demand from Tenant with interest at ten percent (10%) per
annum from the date of such work.

7.2 Tenant's Obligations.

A.  Subject to the  provisions  of  Sections 12 and 7.1,  Tenant,  at  Tenant's
expense,  shall  maintain in good order,  condition  and repair the Premises and
every part  thereof,  including  but not limited to floors,  ceilings,  windows,
doors,  skylights,   roofing,   interior  walls,  the  plumbing,   heating,  air
conditioning and ventilating  equipment,  electrical and lighting facilities and

<PAGE>


C. Upon the  expiration  or earlier  termination  of this  Lease,  Tenant  shall
surrender the Premises in the same condition as received,  broom clean, ordinary

repair any damage to the Premises caused by or in connection with the removal of
any  articles  of personal  property,  business  or trade  fixtures,  machinery,
equipment or furniture.  The  obligations of Landlord and Tenant  concerning the
following subjects are governed  exclusively by the indicated Sections,  and the
parties do not intend the  immediately  preceding  two  sentences  to modify the
obligations  of the  parties  with  respect  to  these  subjects:  (i)  Tenant's
obligation to remove leasehold improvements,  which is governed by Section 7.3A;
(ii) the repair and restoration of the Premises  following  damage caused by any
peril, which is governed by Section 12; (iii) repair of the Premises following a
condemnation,  which is governed by Section 13; and (iv) the  obligations of the
party with respect to the  investigation  and  remediation of  contamination  by
Hazardous Materials, which is governed by Section 18.

D. In the event Tenant fails to perform Tenant's  obligations under this Section
7, Landlord  shall give Tenant  written notice to do such acts as are reasonably
required to maintain the Premises. If, within thirty (30) days after notice from
Landlord,  Tenant  fails to commence  the work and  diligently  prosecute  it to
completion,  then Landlord  shall have the right (but not the  obligation) to do
such acts and  expend  such  funds at the  expense  of Tenant as are  reasonably
required to perform such work.  Any amount so expended by Landlord shall be paid
by Tenant  within  thirty (30) days after  demand  with  interest at ten percent
(10%) per annum form the date of such work.

E. Tenant shall have the benefit of all  warranties  available to Landlord which
would  reduce the cost of  performing  the  obligations  of Tenant  pursuant  to
Section 7.2,  and  Landlord  shall  cooperate  with Tenant in  enforcing  these
warranties.  Tenant  shall not be  responsible  for the cost of  maintenance  or
repair to the Premises or any portion thereof to the extent such  maintenance or
repair is necessary as a result of the gross negligent act or willful misconduct
of Landlord or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

F. If Tenant becomes obligated pursuant to Section 7.2 (A) to perform during the
last  three (3) years of the  initial  Lease  Term (or during the last three (3)
years of any option period) any item of repair or replacement to any part of the
Premises  and the cost of  repair or  replacement  of that item is more than One
Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($100,000),  then the cost of such item of repair or
replacement shall be shared as follows:

      (i) Tenant shall pay the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars  ($100,000) of
      the cost of such item of repair or replacement, and Landlord shall pay the
      balance of such cost ("Landlord's Contribution").

      (ii) Landlord's Contribution shall be amortized over a period equal to the
      lesser of  fifteen  (15)  years or the  functional  life of the  repair or
      replacement in question,  with interest on the unamortized  balance at the
      then  prevailing  market rate Landlord  would pay if it borrowed  funds to
      permanently finance the cost of such item of repair or replacement from an
      institutional lender following completion. Landlord shall notify Tenant of
      its determination of the appropriate  amortization schedule based upon the
      foregoing,  and the  monthly  amortization  payment  that  must be paid to
      amortize  Landlord's  Contribution,  and  shall  provide  Tenant  with the
      information  upon which such  determination  is made.  Such  determination
      shall be subject to the  approval of Tenant.  Tenant shall pay in addition
      to the Base  Monthly  Rent an amount  equal to such  monthly  amortization
      payment  for each  month  after  such  item of repair  or  replacement  is
      completed  during the  remainder of the initial term of this Lease and any
      extension of the Lease Term  resulting  from the exercise of any option to
      extend pursuant to Section 2.2.

G. Immediately  prior to Lease termination  Tenant shall either:  (i) furnish to
Landlord  certifications from licensed reputable contractors that the elevators,
HVAC systems and roof of the Premises  are in good  working  condition;  or (ii)
shall place the elevators, HVAC systems and roof in such good condition.

7.3 Leasehold Improvements.
A. Tenant shall not construct any leasehold  improvements or otherwise alter the
leased  Premises  without  Landlord's  prior  written  approval of the plans and
specifications  therefor,  which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld or
delayed;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall have the right to make interior
alterations  to the  Premises  which do not  materially  affect  the  structural
elements  of the  Premises  and  do  not  exceed  Twenty-Five  Thousand  Dollars
($25,000) in cost, without obtaining Landlord's prior written approval. All such
leasehold  improvements  shall be installed  by Tenant at Tenant's  expense by a
licensed  contractor in compliance  with the approved  plans and  specifications
therefor and in strict accordance with all Laws. All such construction  shall be
done in a good and  workmanlike  manner  using new  materials  of good  quality.
Tenant shall not commence  construction of any leasehold  improvements until (i)
all required  governmental  approvals and permits shall have been obtained;  and
(ii)  Tenant  shall have  given  Landlord  at least five (5) days prior  written
notice  of  its   intention  to  commence  such   construction.   All  leasehold
improvements  constructed  by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant  during
the Lease Term and Tenant shall have the right to depreciate  the same and claim
and  collect  investment  tax credits  and all other tax  savings  with  respect
thereto.  Tenant  shall  have the right to  remove  any  leasehold  improvements
installed  by Tenant so long as (i) it repairs all damage  caused by the removal
thereof  and  returns  the  Premises  to the  condition  existing  prior  to the
installation;  and (ii)  such  improvements  are not  integrated  into  building
systems  such as HVAC or  electrical  systems.  Landlord  may require  Tenant to
remove at the  expiration of the Lease Term  leasehold  improvements  previously
designated  by  Landlord  and restore the  Premises to the extent  necessary  to
return the  Premises to a  condition  that has  substantially  the same value as
existed on the Commencement Date,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  if (a) such
improvements were approved in writing by Landlord; (b) at the time such approval
was given by Landlord,  Landlord  informed Tenant in writing that Landlord would
require that such leasehold  improvements  be removed at the  termination of the
Lease Term; and (c) such improvements are of limited special purpose use and are
not commonly  installed in buildings of the size,  quality and type,  and in the
location of the  Premises.  Subject to the  provisions of phrases (a) and (b) of
the preceding  sentence,  Landlord may require Tenant to remove  standard office
improvements  at the  expiration  of the  Lease  Term if more  than  twenty-five
percent  (25%) of the gross  square  footage of the Premises is used for private
offices,  but in no event  shall  Tenant  be  obligated  to remove  more  office
improvements  than are required to reduce the space within the Premises used for
private offices to twenty-five  percent (25%) of the gross square footage of the
Premises.

Within ten (10) business days after demand therefor from Tenant,  Landlord shall
execute and deliver a lien waiver or other document in form customarily required
by any supplier,  lessor or lender in connection  with the  installation  in the
Premises of Tenant's personal property, equipment or trade fixtures, pursuant to
which Landlord shall waive any right it may have or acquire with respect to such
property.  Such  waiver may  require  Landlord  to grant to the party  requiring
Tenant to  obtain  such  waiver,  a license  to enter the  Premises  in order to
assemble,  inventory or remove the property covered by the lien waiver, provided
Tenant is not in default and  provided  that the entry and  removal  takes place
during the Lease Term and such third party shall  repair in a first class manner
any and all damage caused by removal of specific property.

B.  Alterations  Required  by Law.  Tenant  shall,  at its sole  cost,  make any
alteration,  addition or change of any sort, whether structural or otherwise, to
the Premises  that is required by Laws  because of (i) Tenant's  specific use or
change of use of the Premises,  or (2) Tenant's  construction or installation of
any leasehold improvements or trade fixtures.

C. Right to Contest. In the event Tenant is required by any Laws and pursuant to
Section 7.3(B) to make any capital  improvement  to the Premises,  Tenant shall
have  the  right  to  contest  or  otherwise  review  by  appropriate  legal  or
administrative proceedings the application of such Laws. If Tenant desires to so
contest or cause the review of such Laws,  Tenant  shall give  Landlord  written
notice of its intention to do so and may conduct such contest or other review so
long as it pays all costs, and compliance therewith may be held

                               - 6 -


<PAGE>


in  abeyance  pending  completion  of  such  proceedings.  If  required  by  any
beneficiary  of a deed of  trust  of  Landlord's  interest  in the  Premises  or
purchaser of Landlord's interest,  Tenant shall obtain and furnish Landlord with
an appropriate bond or other security reasonably  sufficient to protect Landlord
from  Tenant's  failure to comply  with such Laws  during the  pendency  of such
proceedings.  Tenant shall  protect and indemnify  Landlord  against any and all
expenses or damages resulting from such contest or other proceeding.

D. Other Required Capital  Improvements.  If any capital improvement  (including
structural  modifications  to the foundation,  load bearing walls,  and building
structure)  is required  to be made to the  Premises in order to comply with any
Laws and if Tenant is not obligated to make such capital improvement pursuant to
Section 7.3(B), then the following shall apply:

      (i) Landlord shall construct such capital improvement at its sole cost and
      expense in accordance with the applicable Laws.

      (ii) All  reasonable  costs paid by Landlord to  construct  such  required
      capital  improvement  (including  financing costs) shall be amortized over
      the functional life of such  improvement or fifteen (15) years,  whichever
      is less, with interest on the  unamortized  balance at the then prevailing
      market rate Landlord would pay if it borrowed funds to permanently finance
      such  improvement  from  an  institutional  lender  following  completion.
      Landlord  shall  notify  Tenant of its  determination  of the  appropriate
      amortization   schedule   based  upon  the   foregoing   and  the  monthly
      amortization  payment that must be made to amortize such costs,  and shall
      provide Tenant with the information upon which such determination is made.
      Such determination shall be subject to the approval of Tenant. In addition
      to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to such monthly
      amortization  payment for each month  after such  capital  improvement  is
      completed  during the  remainder of the initial term of this Lease and any
      extension of the Lease Term  resulting  from the exercise of any option to
      extend pursuant to Section 2.2.

8. ENTRY BY  LANDLORD.  Landlord and  Landlord's  agents shall have the right at
reasonable times and upon reasonable  written notice to Tenant, of not less then
twenty-four (24) hours, except in an emergency, and subject to Tenant's security
requirements,  to enter the  Premises  to inspect  the same or to  maintain  and
repair, make alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion thereof, to
the extent  permitted  or  required by this  Lease,  or to show the  Premises to
prospective  purchasers  and lenders  or,  during the last six (6) months of the
Lease Term, to prospective tenants. Any entry by Landlord or its agents shall be
done in a manner to minimize interference with Tenant's use of the Premises.

9. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of work
performed,  materials  furnished  or  obligations  incurred  by Tenant and shall
indemnify,  hold harmless and defend  Landlord  from any liens and  encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials  furnished by or at the direction
of  Tenant.  Tenant  shall  have the right to  contest  the  correctness  or the
validity of any such lien if it provides assurances  reasonably  satisfactory to
Landlord that Landlord will suffer no financial  detriment as the result of such
contest; provided,  however, that Tenant shall cause such lien to be released in
the event it is  necessary  for  Landlord  to cause such lien to be  released in
connection  with any sale or financing  of the Premises  that is to occur during
the pendency of such contest. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post
and keep posted on the  Premises  any notices  permitted  or required by law, or
which  Landlord  shall deem  proper,  for the  protection  of  Landlord  and the
Premises,  and any other party having an interest  therein,  from mechanics' and
material persons' liens and Tenant shall give to Landlord at least five (5) days
prior written notice of the expected date of  commencement  of any work relating
to alterations or additions to the Premises.

10.  INDEMNITY.  Tenant shall  indemnify  and hold  Landlord  harmless  from and
against any and all claims of  liability  for any injury or damage to any person
or property  arising from Tenant's use of the  Premises,  or from the conduct of
Tenant's  business,  or from any  activity,  work or thing  done,  permitted  or
suffered by Tenant in or upon the Premises.  Tenant shall further  indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising from any

                               - 7 -


<PAGE>


breach or default in the  performance  of any  obligation on Tenant's part to be
performed under this Lease by Tenant or Tenant's agents, contractors,  invitees,
or employees, including Tenant's failure to carry the insurance required by this
Lease, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim,  or any action or proceeding  brought
thereon.  In the event any action or proceeding is brought  against  Landlord by
reason of such claim,  Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at
Tenant's expense with an attorney reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Lease,  Tenant  shall  neither
release  Landlord  from,  nor indemnify  Landlord with respect to: (i) the gross
negligence  or  willful  misconduct  of  Landlord,  or  its  agents,  employees,
contractors or invitees; or (ii) a material breach of Landlord's  obligations or
representations  under this Lease.  Landlord  shall  indemnify and hold harmless
Tenant from all  damages,  liabilities,  judgments,  actions,  attorneys'  fees,
consultants'  fees,  costs and  expenses  arising from the gross  negligence  or
willful  misconduct  of  Landlord  or its  employees,  agents,  contractors,  or
invitees,  or the material breach of Landlord's  obligations or  representations
under this Lease.

Nothing in this Section 10 is intended to modify the provisions of Section 11.3,
and in the event  this  Section 10 is  determined  to be  inconsistent  with the
provisions of Section 11.3, the provisions of Section 11.3 shall prevail.

11. INSURANCE.

11.1 Liability  Insurance.  Tenant shall,  at its own expense,  maintain in full
force and effect  during the Lease Term a policy or  policies  of  comprehensive
general liability insurance, including property damage carried with a company or
companies  reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord,  which will insure  Tenant and
Landlord against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and damage
to property occurring in or about, or resulting from any occurrence in or about,
the Premises with combined  single limit  coverage of not less than Five Million
Dollars  ($5,000,000).  Such comprehensive  general liability insurance shall be
extended  to  include  "blanket  contractual   liability"  endorsement  insuring
Tenant's  performance of Tenant's  obligation to indemnify Landlord contained in
Section 10 and all of the other broadened  liability features normally contained
in an extended  liability  endorsement.  The limits of such insurance  shall not
limit the liability of Tenant.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of
insurance,  endorsements  stating Tenant's insurance is primary,  evidencing the
existence  and amounts of such  insurance  and naming  Landlord as an additional
insured.  In the event  Tenant  fails to procure and  maintain  such  insurance,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure the same at Tenant's expense
after thirty (30) days prior written notice.  No such policy shall be cancelable
or subject to  reduction of coverage or other  modification  except after thirty
(30) days prior  written  notice to Landlord by the insurer.  All such  policies
shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of
coverage which Landlord may carry. Tenant shall, prior to the expiration of such
policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders. Tenant shall have the right
to provide such  insurance  coverage  pursuant to blanket  policies  obtained by
Tenant provided such blanket policies  expressly afford coverage to the Premises
and to Landlord as required by this Lease.  Landlord shall maintain, at its sole
cost and  expense,  a policy or  policies  of  comprehensive  general  liability
insurance  insuring  Landlord  (and such others as are  designated  by Landlord)
against  liability for personal  injury,  bodily  injury,  death,  and damage to
property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in, on or about the Premises,
with  combined  single  limit  coverage  of not less than Five  Million  Dollars
($5,000,000),  or such  greater  coverage  as  Landlord  may  from  time to time
determine is reasonably necessary for its protection.

11.2 Property Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, procure and maintain
at all times  during the term of this Lease a policy or  policies  of  insurance
covering  loss or damage to the  Premises in the amount of the full  replacement
value  thereof and loss of rental  income (for a maximum of twelve (12)  months)
thereof,   providing   protection   against  all  perils   included  within  the
classification  of  fire,  extended  coverage,  vandalism,  malicious  mischief,
sprinkler leakage and special extended peril (all-risk). Tenant shall not be

                               - 8 -


<PAGE>


obligated to carry earthquake  insurance unless it becomes Tenant's  practice to
maintain such insurance for a majority of all  multi-story  buildings  leased or
owned by  Tenant  in the Bay Area and  containing  80,000  square  feet or more.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance, endorsements stating
Tenant's  insurance is primary,  evidencing  the  existence  and amounts of such
insurance  and naming  Landlord as an  additional  insured.  In the event Tenant
fails to procure and  maintain  such  insurance,  Landlord may (but shall not be
required to) procure the same at Tenant's  expense  after thirty (30) days prior
written  notice.  No such policy shall be  cancelable or subject to reduction of
coverage or other  modification  except  after  thirty  (30) days prior  written
notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary
policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may
carry. Tenant shall, prior to the expiration of such policies,  furnish Landlord
with renewals or binders.  Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance
coverage  pursuant to blanket policies  obtained by Tenant provided such blanket
policies  expressly  afford coverage to the Premises and to Landlord as required
by this Lease.

11.3 Waiver of  Subrogation.  Landlord  and Tenant each hereby waive any and all
rights of recovery  against  the other,  and  against  the  officers,  partners,
employees, agents and representatives of the other, on account of loss or damage
to such waiving party's  property or the property of others under its control to
the  extent  that  such  injury,  loss or damage is  insured  against  under any
insurance  policy  in force at the time of such  loss or  damage.  Landlord  and
Tenant agree to notify the insurance  carrier or carriers  under any such policy
that the  foregoing  mutual  waiver of  subrogation  is contained in this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant will each cause its respective insurers to issue a waiver of
subrogation  rights  endorsement  to each policy of insurance  in question,  and
Landlord and Tenant shall each provide the other with  evidence that such waiver
has been obtained within a reasonable period of time.

12. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

A. If the Premises are damaged by any peril,  then  Landlord  shall  restore the
damage, except if this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 12B, Section 12C,
or Section 12G hereof. All proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to Section
11.2 shall be paid to Landlord.  The proceeds shall be used for the  restoration
of the damage, if the Lease is not terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event Landlord is not the original Landlord named herein or a partnership in
which one of the general partners is Carl E. Berg or a partnership of which Carl
E. Berg is the general  partner,  and the Premises are to be restored,  then the
insurance  proceeds shall be deposited with any  institutional  lender holding a
mortgage  or deed of trust  against  the  Premises  or if none,  then such other
institutional  lender as agreed to by Landlord and Tenant,  for  disbursement of
such funds for the purpose of  restoration.  As used herein,  an  "institutional
lender" shall mean a bank,  savings and loan association,  or insurance company.
Upon receipt (or deposit) of such insurance  proceeds,  if  applicable,  and the
issuance of all necessary  governmental  approvals,  Landlord shall commence and
diligently   prosecute  to  completion  the   restoration  of  the  Premises  to
substantially  the same  condition  existing  immediately  prior to such damage,
using the  insurance  proceeds.  Landlord  shall be  responsible  for paying any
"deductible" amount that is excluded from earthquake  insurance coverage,  up to
Four Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars  ($480,000);  provided,  however,  that any
such earthquake  "deductible"  paid by Landlord shall be amortized over a period
equal to the  remainder of the initial  Lease Term and all  remaining  extension
periods  pursuant to Section 2.2 (whether or not exercised) with interest on the
unamortized  balance at the then  prevailing  market rate Landlord would pay for
borrowed funds to permanently  finance such  restoration  from an  institutional
lender, and Tenant shall pay as additional monthly rent such amortization during
the  remainder of the initial term of this Lease and any  extension of the Lease
Term  resulting  from the  exercise of any option to extend  pursuant to Section
2.2. If Tenant becomes  obligated to pay such amortization and does not exercise
all of its options to extend the Lease Term  pursuant to Section 2.2,  then upon
the  expiration  of the  Lease  Term,  Tenant  shall pay a lump sum  payment  to
Landlord equal to the unamortized  principal balance of the amount that is being
so amortized.  Tenant shall be responsible  for paying any  "deductible"  amount
that is excluded from any other type of insurance coverage.

                              - 36 -


<PAGE>


B. In the event the Premises are damaged by any peril, whether or not covered by
the  insurance  carried  pursuant to Section 11.2,  during the last year of the
Lease Term (as it may be extended) to such an extent that the estimated  cost to
restore exceeds Five Hundred  Thousand Dollars  ($500,000),  then Landlord shall
have the  option to  terminate  this  Lease by  delivery  to Tenant of a written
notice of  election  to  terminate  within  thirty  (30) days after the date the
damage occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may not so terminate this
Lease  pursuant to this  Section 12B if (i) Tenant,  at the time of such damage,
has an unexercised  option to further extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises
such  option to so  further  extend  the Lease  Term  within  fifteen  (15) days
following  Landlord's exercise of its option to terminate and (ii) Tenant agrees
in writing as provided in Section 12G that in the event  Landlord  does not for
any reason receive sufficient funds from insurance proceeds or Tenant to restore
the Premises that the amount of such insufficiency shall be amortized and Tenant
shall pay as additional rent such amortization in the manner provided in Section
12G.

C. If the  Premises  are  damaged  by any peril and  Landlord  does not elect to
terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
Section 12,  then as soon as  reasonably  practicable,  Landlord  shall  furnish
Tenant  with  the  written  opinion  of  Landlord's  architect  or  construction
consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be completed
and the estimated cost of such restoration work. Tenant shall have the following
options to  terminate  this Lease,  which may be  exercised  only by delivery to
Landlord of a written  notice of election to terminate  within fifteen (15) days
after Tenant  receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete
such restoration:

      (i) Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged by a peril
      (whether or not covered by the insurance  required to be carried  pursuant
      to Section 11.2)  during the last year of the Lease Term and such  damage
      cannot be  substantially  restored  within ninety (90) days  following the
      date of such damage.

      (ii) Tenant may terminate this Lease in the event the Premises are damaged
      by any peril  (whether  or not  covered by the  insurance  required  to be
      carried pursuant to Section 11.2) and the restoration  cannot be completed
      by Landlord  within one hundred  eighty  (180) days after the date of such
      damage.

D. If this Lease is terminated by the proper  exercise of an option to terminate
granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then (i) this Lease shall terminate
fifteen (15) days after the date the option to terminate is properly  exercised,
(ii) the Base Monthly Rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated
as of the date of termination,  (iii) Landlord shall be entitled to all proceeds
payable under any insurance  including loss of rental  income,  and (iv) neither
Landlord  nor Tenant  shall have any further  rights or  obligations  under this
Lease  except  for those  that have  accrued  prior to the date of  termination,
subject to the survival of the  indemnities  contained in Section 10 and Section
18.

E. Landlord's  obligation (should it elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild)
shall be limited to the  following:  (i) the  structural  parts of the Building;
(ii) all building service equipment and utility systems;  and (iii) all interior
walls, light fixtures, floor and wall coverings, and other interior improvements
(excluding  Tenant's  trade  fixtures,  business  equipment  and other  personal
property) to substantially  the same extent of the level and quality of interior
improvement as existed as of the Commencement  Date but in the  configuration of
such interior  improvements as existed on the date of such damage. If Tenant has
installed  leasehold  improvements  which  increase  the  level and  quality  of
interior improvement to the Premises over and above that which existed as of the
Commencement  Date,  Tenant shall be  responsible  for the  restoration  of such
higher level of interior  improvement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing:  (i) if
Tenant has during the Lease Term installed permanent  partitions  resulting in a
higher percentage of the floor area of the Premises being devoted to offices and
conference rooms than existed as of the Commencement  Date, Tenant shall only be
obligated  to  restore  the  Premises  so that  it has  substantially  the  same
percentage of floor area devoted to offices and  conference  rooms as existed as
of the Commencement Date; and (ii) if the level of finishes

                              - 10 -


<PAGE>


existing prior to the damage was of a substantially higher level of quality than
are customarily installed in comparable space in Cupertino, Tenant shall only be
obligated to restore the  Premises to that level of finish as is  customary  for
comparable  space in  Cupertino,  but in no event to a quality of finish that is
lower  than  existed  as of the  Commencement  Date.  Tenant  shall  pay for and
complete the replacement or repair of its trade fixtures, business equipment and
personal  property  to the  extent  necessary  for the  continued  operation  of
Tenant's business in the Premises. Subject to the provisions of Section 12A, all
insurance  shall be made  available  to Landlord to permit it to  discharge  its
obligations under this Lease regarding restoration;  provided,  however, that in
the event of restoration  only Tenant shall receive  proceeds  payable under the
insurance  carried  pursuant to Section 11.2 that are fairly  allocable  to the
leasehold  improvements  installed  at the expense of Tenant,  to the extent any
proceeds  remain after deducting that portion  attributable to the  improvements
Landlord is  obligated  to repair or rebuild in  accordance  with the  foregoing
(including  any  improvements  Tenant made which are  integrated  into  building
systems such as HVAC or electrical).

F. In the  event of any  damage  to the  Premises  which  does not  result  in a
termination  of this  Lease,  the Base  Monthly  Rent  and  other  sums  payable
hereunder shall be temporarily abated  proportionately  with the degree to which
Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired by such damage (based upon the ratio of
Building area rendered unusable to the total Building area), commencing from the
date of such damage or destruction and continuing  during the period required by
Landlord to complete its  restoration of the Premises.  However,  such abatement
shall  occur only to the extent of the  proceeds of rental  abatement  insurance
actually recovered by Landlord.

G. In the event the Premises  are damaged by a peril and  Landlord  does not for
any reason receive sufficient funds from insurance proceeds or Tenant to restore
the Premises as required by this Section 12, then  Landlord may  terminate  this
Lease; provided, however, that if insurance proceeds are insufficient to restore
the Premises  because of a  "deductible"  amount that is excluded from insurance
coverage and such "deductible"  amount is less than Four Hundred Eighty Thousand
Dollars ($480,000),  this Section 12G shall not apply but instead the provisions
of Section 12A shall apply.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Landlord may not so
terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to this  Section 12G,  and shall  restore  the
Premises,  if Tenant,  within  fifteen (15) days after  Landlord  exercises such
option to terminate,  agrees in writing as follows:  (i) the amount by which the
funds received by Landlord  (including  insurance  proceeds and any "deductible"
paid in cash by Tenant) are  insufficient to pay the restoration  costs shall be
amortized  over the  remainder  of the  initial  Lease  Term  and all  remaining
extension  periods  pursuant to Section 2.2  (whether  or not  exercised)  with
interest on the unamortized  balance at the then prevailing market rate Landlord
would pay for borrowed funds to  permanently  finance such  restoration  from an
institutional lender following  completion;  (ii) Tenant shall pay as additional

The  following  provisions  shall apply to any  assignment,  subletting or other
transfer by Tenant or any  subtenant or assignee or other  successor in interest
of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this section as "Tenant"):

A. Tenant shall not do any of the following  (collectively referred to herein as
a  "Transfer"),  whether  voluntarily,  involuntarily  or by  operation of Laws,
without  the prior  written  consent of  Landlord,  which  consent  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises or
allow it to be  sublet,  occupied  or used by any  person or entity  other  than
Tenant;  (ii)  assign its  interest  in this  Lease;  (iii)  transfer  any right
appurtenant  to this Lease or the Premises;  (iv) mortgage or encumber the Lease
(or  otherwise  use the  Lease  as a  security  device)  in any  manner;  or (v)
terminate  or  materially  amend or  modify  an  assignment,  sublease  or other
transfer that has been previously approved by Landlord. Any Transfer so approved
by Landlord  shall not be effective  until  Tenant has  delivered to Landlord an
executed  counterpart  of the document  evidencing  the Transfer which (i) is in
form  reasonably  approved  by  Landlord,  (ii)  contains  the  same  terms  and
conditions  as stated in Tenant's  notice given to Landlord  pursuant to Section
14B below, and (iii) contains the agreement of the proposed transferee to assume
all  obligations of Tenant  related to the Transfer  arising after the effective
date of such Transfer and to remain jointly and severally  liable  therefor with
Tenant.  If  Landlord  fails to  respond  in writing  to  Tenant's  request  for
Landlord's  consent to a Transfer  within  fifteen  (15) days of receipt of such
request,  Landlord  will be  deemed  to have  consented  to such  Transfer.  Any
attempted  Transfer  without  Landlord's  consent shall  constitute a default by
Tenant and shall be voidable at Landlord's option. Landlord's consent to any one
Transfer  shall not  constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 14 as
to any  subsequent  Transfer  nor a  consent  to  any  subsequent  Transfer.  No
Transfer,  even  with the  consent  of  Landlord,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its
personal and primary  obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other
obligations  to be  performed by Tenant  hereunder.  The  acceptance  of rent by
Landlord  from any person  shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any
provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.

                              - 12 -


<PAGE>


B. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written  notice of
any desired  Transfer and of the proposed  terms of such Transfer  including but
not limited to (i) the name and legal  composition  of the proposed  transferee;
(ii) a current financial  statement of the transferee,  financial  statements of
the transferee covering the preceding three years, and (if readily available) an
audited financial  statement of the transferee for a period ending not more than
one year prior to the  proposed  effective  date of the  Transfer,  all of which
statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles; (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee's business to be carried
on in the  Premises;  (iv)  all  consideration  to be given  on  account  of the
Transfer;  (v) a current  financial  statement  of  Tenant;  and (vi) such other
information as may be reasonably  requested by Landlord.  Tenant's  notice shall
not be deemed  to have  been  served  or given  until  such  time as Tenant  has
provided Landlord with all information reasonably requested by Landlord pursuant
to  this  Section 14B.  Tenant  shall   immediately   notify  Landlord  of  any
modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer.

C. If Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant,  Tenant may enter into
such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall apply:

      (i) Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the  performance  of
      all of its obligations under the Lease.

      (ii) If Tenant  assigns its interest in this Lease,  then Tenant shall pay
      to Landlord  fifty percent (50%) of all  consideration  received by Tenant
      over and above (i) the assignee's  agreement to assume the  obligations of
      Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) all Permitted  Transfer Costs related to
      such  assignment.  In the case of assignment,  the amount of consideration
      owed to Landlord  shall be paid to  Landlord  on the same  basis,  whether
      periodic or in lump sum, that such  consideration is paid to Tenant by the
      assignee.

      (iii) If Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with respect to the
      space so  subleased,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord  fifty percent (50%) of
      the  positive  difference,   if  any,  between  (i)  all  rent  and  other
      consideration  paid by the  subtenant to Tenant,  less (ii) all  Permitted
      Transfer  Costs  related to such  sublease  and all Base  Monthly Rent and
      additional rent fairly allocable to that part of the Premises  affected by
      such  sublease.  Such amount  shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis,
      whether periodic or in lump sum, that such rent and other consideration is
      paid to Tenant by its Subtenant.  In calculating  Landlord's  share of any
      periodic payments,  all such costs permitted to be deducted from the gross
      consideration received by Tenant shall be first recovered by Tenant.

      (iv)  Tenant's  obligations  under  this  Section 14C shall  survive  any
      assignment or sublease,  and Tenant's  failure to perform its  obligations
      hereunder shall be an event of default by Tenant. At the time Tenant makes
      any payment to Landlord required by this Section 14C, Tenant shall deliver
      an itemized  statement of the method by which the amount to which Landlord
      is  entitled  was  calculated,  certified  by Tenant as true and  correct.
      Landlord shall have the right at reasonable  intervals to inspect Tenant's
      books and records  relating to the  payments due  hereunder.  Upon request
      therefor,  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all bills,  invoices
      or other  documents upon which its  calculations  are based.  Landlord may
      condition its approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a certification from
      both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all amounts that are to be paid
      to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.

      (v) As used in this Section 14C, the term  "consideration"  shall mean any
      consideration  of any kind  received,  or to be  received,  by Tenant as a
      result of the Transfer,  if such sums are related to Tenant's  interest in
      this Lease or in the Premises, including payments from or on behalf of the
      transferee  (in excess of the fair  market  value  thereof)  for  Tenant's
      assets, fixtures, leasehold improvements,  inventory,  accounts, goodwill,
      equipment, furniture, and general intangibles.

      (vi) As used in this  Section 14C, the term  "Permitted  Transfer  Costs"
      shall mean: (i) all reasonable  leasing  commissions paid to third parties
      not  affiliated  with Tenant in order to obtain the  Transfer in question;
      (ii) all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the
      Transfer in

                              - 13 -


<PAGE>


      question;  and (iii) the cost of all improvements  installed by Tenant for
      such assignee or subtenant pursuant to such assignment or sublease.

D.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this  Section 14, so long as Tenant
otherwise  complies with the  provisions of this section,  Tenant may enter into
any of the following transfers (a "Permitted Transfer") without Landlord's prior
written consent,  and if Tenant does so, it shall have no obligation to make any
payments of consideration  resulting from such Transfer to Landlord  pursuant to
subparagraph 14C:

      (i) Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign its interest
      in this Lease to any Tenant Affiliate (as defined in subparagraph 14E).

      (ii) Tenant may assign its  interest in the Lease to a  corporation  which
      results  from a merger,  consolidation  or other  reorganization  in which
      Tenant is not the surviving corporation.

      (iii)  Tenant may assign this Lease to a  corporation  which  purchases or
      otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant.

E.  The  term  "Tenant  Affiliate"  shall  mean  any of the  following:  (i) any
corporation  which owns more than fifty  percent  (50%) of the capital  stock of
Apple Computer,  Inc. which is issued,  outstanding and entitled to vote for the
election of directors (an "Apple  Parent");  (ii) any corporation in which Apple
Computer,  Inc.  owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the capital stock that is
issued,  outstanding  and  entitled to vote for the  election of  directors  (an
"Apple Sub");  and (iii) any  corporation  or other entity in which either Apple
Computer,  Inc., an Apple  Parent,  or an Apple Sub owns more than fifty percent
(50%) of the beneficial interest (or, in the case of a corporation,  the capital
stock issued. outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of directors).

F. Tenant  shall  reimburse  Landlord  for all  reasonable  attorney's  fees and
processing  costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed  Transfer
submitted to Landlord for its approval.

15.1  Subordination.  This  Lease at  Landlord's  option  shall be  subject  and
subordinate  to all ground or  underlying  leases which now exist  affecting the
Premises  and to the lien of any  mortgages  or deeds of trust in any  amount or
amounts  whatsoever  which now exist  against  the  Premises,  or on or  against
Landlord's  interest or estate therein or on or against any ground or underlying
lease,  without  the  necessity  of the  execution  and  delivery of any further
instruments  on the part of  Tenant to  confirm  such  subordination;  provided,
however,  that Landlord shall use all reasonable  efforts to obtain within sixty
(60) days  from the date  hereof a  recognition  and  non-disturbance  agreement
whereby the lessor under any such ground or  underlying  lease and holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust shall agree that,  so long as Tenant is not in default
hereunder,  this Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
termination  of any such lease or foreclosure of such mortgage or deed of trust.
If any mortgagee,  trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior
to the lien of its  mortgage,  deed of trust or ground  lease,  and  shall  give
written  notice  thereof to Tenant,  this  Lease  shall be deemed  prior to such
mortgage,  deed of trust or ground  lease,  whether this Lease is dated prior or
subsequent  to the date of said  mortgage,  deed of trust or ground lease or the
date of the recording thereof.

15.2 Subordination  Agreements.  Tenant covenants and agrees to promptly execute
and deliver upon demand without charge  therefor,  any instrument or instruments
of  subordination  necessary to  subordinate  this Lease to any future ground or
underlying  leases and/or to the lien of any future mortgage or deed of trust in
any amount or amounts whatsoever which may hereafter be placed by Landlord on or
against the Premises,  or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein or
on or against any ground or underlying lease;  provided,  however,  Tenant shall
not be required to execute and deliver any such  subordination  agreement unless
the lender/lessor consents in writing to the Lease and agrees in writing that in
the event of  termination of the lease,  foreclosure of the mortgage,  or in the
event the lender comes into possession or acquires

                              - 14 -


<PAGE>


title to the  Premises  as a result of the  foreclosure  of its  mortgage or the
notes  secured  thereby,  or as a result of any other means,  the  lender/lessor
agrees  that the Lease  shall not be  terminated  and that  lender/lessor  shall
recognize  Tenant and further  agrees that Tenant  shall not be disturbed in its
possession of the Premises for any reason other than one which would entitle the
Landlord to terminate the Lease under its terms or that would cause, without any
further  action by  Landlord,  the  termination  of the  Lease or would  entitle
Landlord to dispossess the Tenant from the Premises.

15.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant
paying  rent and other  monetary  sums due under  the Lease and  performing  its
covenants and conditions,  Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Premises for the Term,  subject  however to the terms of the Lease
and of any of the ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust described above.

15.4 Attornment.  In the event any proceedings are brought for default under any
ground or underlying lease or in the event of foreclosure or the exercise of the
power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord  covering the
Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale
and recognize  such  purchaser as the Landlord  under this Lease;  provided said
purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Lease.

15.5  Modifications  to Lease Required by Lender:  In the event an institutional
lender reasonably  requires that modifications be made to this Lease in order to
protect its  security  interest in the Lease and as a condition to making a loan
to Landlord  secured by the  Premises,  Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any
reasonable  modifications  of this Lease so required by such lender (i) which do
not materially and adversely  affect Tenant's  rights or materially  increase or
expand Tenant's  obligations  under this Lease, and (ii) which do not in any way
change the Lease Term,  the options to extend the Lease Term,  the Base  Monthly
Rent,  Tenant's  right to assign  and  sublease  the  Premises,  or  Section 18
regarding Hazardous Materials.

16. DEFAULT: REMEDIES.

16.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

A. Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or any other  monetary sums required to
be paid hereunder, where such failure continues for seven (7) days after written
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant;

B. The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;

C. A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provisions of this Lease
to be observed or performed by Tenant,  where such failure  continues for twenty
(20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however,
that if the nature of such  default is such that the same cannot  reasonably  be
cured  within such twenty (20) day period,  Tenant  shall not be deemed to be in
default if Tenant shall  within such period  commence  such cure and  thereafter
diligently prosecute the same to completion;

D. The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit
of creditors;

E. A court makes or enters any decree or order with  respect to Tenant or Tenant
submits  to or seeks a decree  or order (or  petition  or  pleading  is filed in

relief,  appointment of a trustee or confirmation of a reorganization plan under
the Bankruptcy  Laws of the United  States;  (ii) approves as properly filed (or
seeks such approval of) a petition seeking  liquidation or reorganization  under
said  Bankruptcy  Laws or any other debtor's relief law or statute of the United
States or any state thereof;  (iii) otherwise  directs (or seeks) the winding up
or liquidation of Tenant; provided,  however, that if any such petition,  decree
or order is not voluntarily filed or made by Tenant, that

                              - 15 -


<PAGE>


Tenant  shall not be in default  until such  petition,  decree or order  remains
undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days. 16.2 Remedies. In the event of any
such material default or breach by Tenant,  Landlord may at any time thereafter,
with or without notice and demand and without limiting  Landlord in the exercise
of any right or remedy at law or in equity which  Landlord may have by reason of
such default or breach:

A.  Maintain  this Lease in full force and effect and recover the rent and other
monetary  charges as they  become due,  without  terminating  Tenant's  right to
possession, irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In
the event  Landlord  elects to not terminate the Lease,  Landlord shall have the
right to attempt to re-let the  Premises  at such rent and upon such  conditions
and for such a term,  and to do all acts  necessary  to maintain or preserve the
Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have
elected to  terminate  the Lease  including  removal of all persons and property
from the  Premises;  such  property  may be  removed  and  restored  in a public
warehouse  or  elsewhere  at the cost of and for the  account of Tenant.  In the
event any such re-letting occurs, this Lease shall terminate  automatically upon
the new Tenant taking possession of the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled
to recover damages for Tenant's breach pursuant to Section 16.2B.

B.  Terminate  Tenant's  right to possession by any lawful means,  in which case
this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately  surrender possession of
the Premises to  Landlord.  In the event the Lease is so  terminated  because of
Tenant's default,  Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages
incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including without  limitation
thereto,  the  following:  (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent
which had been  earned at the time of such  termination;  plus (ii) the worth at
the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid  rent which  would have been
earned  after  termination  until the time of award,  exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could have been  reasonably  avoided;  plus (iii)
the worth at the time of award of the  amount by which the  unpaid  rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award  exceeds  the amount of such  rental
loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;  plus (iv) any other amount
necessary to  compensate  Landlord for all the detriment  proximately  caused by
Tenant's  failure to perform  its  obligations  under this Lease or which in the
ordinary  course of things  would be  likely  to result  therefrom;  plus (v) at
Landlord's  election,  such  other  amounts  in  addition  to or in  lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable state law. As used
in clauses (i) and (ii)  above,  the "worth at the time of award" is computed by
allowing  interest at the rate of ten  percent  (10%) per annum from the date of
default.  As used in clause  (iii),  the "worth at time of award" is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank at
the time of award  plus  one  percent  (1%).  The term  "rent",  as used in this
Section 16,  shall be deemed to be and to mean the rent to be paid  pursuant to
Section 3 and all other monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant  pursuant to
the terms of this Lease.

16.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails
to perform obligations  required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and
to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose
name and address  shall have  theretofore  been  furnished to Tenant in writing,
specifying  wherein  Landlord  has failed to perform such  obligation;  provided
however,  that if the  nature of  Landlord's  obligation  is such that more than
thirty (30) days are required for  performance,  then  Landlord  shall not be in
default if Landlord  commences  performance  within such  thirty-day  period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

16.4 Tenant's  Remedies.  In addition to all other rights and remedies of Tenant
under the terms of this Lease or applicable  Laws and subject to the  provisions
of Section 16.3,  Tenant  shall have the right to cure any  default of Landlord
under the Lease, and to demand  reimbursement  from Landlord of the cost of such
cure, with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, from the
date of the expenditure until repaid.

      Lease Term but  specifically  excluding  (i)  below-surface  migration  of
      Hazardous Material in the groundwater underlying the Premises from sources
      outside the Premises,  and (ii) contamination by Hazardous  Materials that

      entered into possession of the Premises.

liabilities,  deficiencies,  forfeitures,  penalties,  fines,  punitive damages,

this Section 18; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 18H is intended

this Lease and this Section 18, the terms of this Section 18 shall control.

no  violation of  Hazardous  Materials  Laws  resulting  from the use,  storage,
release or disposal of  Hazardous  Materials on or about the Premises by Tenant,
its agents, employees,  invitees or contractors. If pursuant to local ordinance,
state or federal law,  Tenant is required,  at the expiration of the Lease Term,
to submit a closure plan for the Premises to a local,  state or federal  agency,
then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of such plan.

certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the
date to which the rent and  other  charges  are paid in  advance,  if any,  (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Landlord hereunder,  or specifying such defaults if any are claimed,

may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective  purchaser or encumbrances of
the Premises.

conclusive  upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect  without
modification  except as may be represented  by Landlord,  (ii) that there are no
uncured  defaults in  Landlord's  performance,  and (iii) that not more than one

specified in such notice of transfer of all obligations and liabilities accruing
thereafter on the part of the Landlord,  provided that any funds in the hands of
Landlord  at the time of  transfer  in which  Tenant has an  interest,  shall be
delivered to the successor of Landlord.  This Lease shall not be affected by any
such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee  provided all
of  Landlord's  obligations  hereunder  accruing  after the date of transfer are
assumed in writing by the transferee.

or any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

                           FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE

This First Amendment to Sublease (the  "Amendment") is dated and effective as of
May 25, 1995 and is made by and between Berg & Berg Enterprises,  Inc. ("Berg"),
a California  corporation,  and Apple  Computer,  Inc.  ("Apple"),  a California
corporation, with reference to the following:

                                    Recitals

A. Pursuant to that certain  sublease dated November 13, 1987 (the  'Sublease"),
McDonnell  Douglas  Corporation  ("MDC"),  as  sublessor,  leased to  Apple,  as
sublessee, that certain property consisting of two buildings and related parking
areas  located at and  commonly  known as 20605  Valley Green Drive (the "Valley
Green 5 Building"),  and 20665 and 20705 Valley Green Drive (the "Valley Green 6
Building"), Cupertino (collectively, the "Premises").

B. The Sublease was made under that certain lease  affecting the Premises  dated
January 6, 1978, by and between John A. Sobrato and Carl E. Berg, and members of
their  respective  families  (collectively,  "Sobrato/Berg"),  as landlord,  and
Tymshare, Inc. a California corporation ("Tymshare"),  as tenant. Said lease was
amended  and/or  supplemented  by the  following  instruments:  (i) letter dated
February 17, 1978,  (ii) Amendment  dated January 30, 1979,  (iii)  Amendment #2
dated March 17, 1979,  and (iv)  Amendment  #3 dated July 1, 1987.  The original
lease  and  all of  said  amendments  or  supplements  are  referred  to  herein
collectively as the "Master Lease".

C. Prior to the date of this Amendment, Mary A. Berg and Carl E. Berg, Trustees,
Clyde Berg and Nancy Berg, Trustees, and Clyde Berg, Trustee (collectively,  the
"Berg  Family  Partnership")  succeeded  to the  interest of Sobrato/  Berg,  as
landlord under the Master Lease.

D.  Prior  to the  date of this  Amendment,  McDonnell  Douglas  Corporation,  a
Maryland corporation ("MDC"),  succeeded to the interest of Tymshare, as tenant,
under the Master Lease, and entered into the Sublease with Apple.

E. By Assignment of Lease and Sublease dated July 13, 1993, MDC assigned all its
right and interest as tenant  under the Master Lease and as sublessor  under the
Sublease to Berg.  The Sublease  continued in full force and effect,  as between
Berg, as sublessor, and Apple, as sublessee.

F. Berg and Apple now wish to extend the term of the Sublease, and to modify and
amend certain provisions of the Sublease,  all as more particularly as set forth
herein:

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO MUTUALLY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. EXERCISE OF OPTION FOR EXTENSION OF SUBLEASE TERM.

1.1 The Sublease  currently  provides that the term thereof shall expire (unless
renewed or extended) on December 31,1997.

1.2  Pursuant  to  paragraph  4.2  ("Option  to  Extend  Sublease  Term") of the
Sublease,  Apple has been granted two (2)  consecutive  five (5) year options to
extend the term of the Sublease with respect to the entire Premises.

1.3 By executing this Amendment,  Apple hereby notifies Berg of Apple's exercise
of the first five (5) year  renewal  option (the "First  Option") for the Valley
Green  6  Building.  Berg  and  Apple  expressly  acknowledge  and  agree  that,
notwithstanding  the  provisions of paragraph  4.2 of the Sublease,  Apple shall
have the right to exercise  the First  Option with respect to the Valley Green 6
Building  only,  pursuant to this  Amendment.  Berg and Apple further  expressly
acknowledge  and agree that this notice  shall be  sufficient  to exercise  said
First Option with respect to the Valley  Green 6 Building,  notwithstanding  any
requirement  in the  Sublease  that such notice be given  within a certain  time
period, and Berg hereby accepts such exercise.

1.4 Pursuant to Apple's  exercise of the First Option,  as described  above, the
termination  date of the Sublease,  with respect to the Valley Green 6 Building,
is hereby extended to and including 12:00 o'clock midnight on December 31, 2002.

1.5 Berg hereby  agrees  that Apple  shall have the right to exercise  the First
Option with respect to the Valley Green 5 Building at any time to and  including
12:00 o'clock  midnight on June 30, 1997. Apple shall exercise the First Option,
if at all,  with  respect to the Valley  Green 5 Building by giving Berg written
notice of such exercise,  in the manner provided by the Sublease or as otherwise
mutually  agreed by Berg and Apple.  If Apple so exercises the First Option with
respect  to the Valley  Green 5  Building,  then the  parties  shall  execute an
amendment  to the Sublease  reflecting  such  exercise,  which  amendment  shall
reflect the  inclusion  of the Valley  Green 5 Building in the  Premises for the
First Extended Term (as defined in the Sublease),  at a base monthly rental rate
of One Dollar and Ten Cents ($1.10) per rentable square foot of the Valley Green
5 Building

1.6 Berg represents, warrants and covenants to Apple as follows:

(a) In  consideration  of Apple's  exercise  of the First  Option,  as set forth
above,  Berg shall  exercise its option to extend the term of the Master  Lease,
all as more particularly set forth in subparagraph 4.2(a) of the Sublease.

(b) Berg shall not cause, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Berg
Family  Partnership,  as landlord  under the Master Lease,  does not cause,  any
Event of Default  (as that term is defined in the Master  Lease) to occur  under
the Master Lease.

1.7  Notwithstanding  the provisions of subsection 1.5, above,  Apple shall have
all of its rights as set forth in paragraph  4.2 of the Sublease with respect to
any exercise of any options Berg may have, as tenant under the Master Lease,  to
extend the term of the Master Lease.

2. FAILURE OF APPLE TO EXERCISE FIRST OPTION FOR VALLEY GREEN 5 BUILDING.

If Apple does not  exercise  the First Option with respect to the Valley Green 5
Building,  as provided in paragraph 1.5, above, then the following provisions of
this Section 2 shall be applicable and effective.

2.1 Reduction of Premises.

(a) If Apple does not exercise the First Option with respect to the Valley Green
5  Building,  as provided  in  paragraph  1.5,  above,  then the Valley  Green 5
Building shall be deleted from the Sublease,  and no longer  considered  part of
the Premises,  effective as of 12:00 o'clock  midnight on December 31, 1997 (the
"Premises  Reduction  Date").  From and after said Premises  Reduction Date, the
term  "Premises"  shall only refer to the Valley  Green 6  Building,  containing
approximately 121,574 square feet of rentable space.

(b)  Effective  as of the Premises  Reduction  Date,  the square  footage of the
Premises,  as described on the Summary of Sublease Provisions,  shall be amended
from approximately 142,000 square feet to approximately 121,574 square feet.

(c) Apple shall be  responsible  for any  termination  obligations  described in
paragraph 20 of the Sublease  ("Surrender  of Premises")  for the Valley green 5
Building, as required by the Sublease.

2.2. Revised Percentage.

(a) For  purposes of  complying  with the  provisions  of  paragraph  6.1 of the
Sublease,   Apple  and  Berg  acknowledge  and  agree  that  Apple's  applicable
percentage of any and all taxes,  assessments and other charges payable by Apple
thereunder  shall, as of the Premises  Reduction Date, shall be amended from One
Hundred  Percent  (100%) to Eighty Five and  Sixty-Two  One  Hundredths  percent
(85.62%).

 (b) In  addition,  Paragraph  7 of the Master  Lease  ("Parking  Area) shall be
modified, as of the Premises Reduction Date, by reducing Apple's exclusive right
to use One Hundred  Percent  (100%) of the parking area to Eighty Five and Sixty
Two One  Hundredths  Percent  (85.62%) of the total parking  area.  Said reduced
parking area shall be those parking spaces for the Valley Green 6 Building.

2.3 Insurance.

For purposes of complying  with the  provisions  of paragraph 13 of the Sublease
("Insurance"),  Apple and Berg  acknowledge  and agree that  effective as of the
Premises  Reduction  Date Apple shall only be required to provide  insurance for
the Premises,  as reduced  pursuant to this Amendment to wit: the Valley Green 6
Building.

3. BASE RENT DURING OPTION TERM.

3.1  Notwithstanding  any term or  provision  of the  Sublease to the  contrary,
including  without  limitation  the terms and conditions of paragraph 5.2 of the
Sublease, Berg expressly agrees that, unless and until Apple exercises the First
Option with  respect to the Valley  Green 5 Building,  as provided in  paragraph
1.5,  above,  Apple shall pay, as Base Monthly  Rent for the Premises  under the
Sublease for the First  Extended Term (as that term is defined in the Sublease),
the amount of One Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty-One Dollars
and Forty Cents ($133,731.40) per month.

3.2 If and only if Apple  exercises  the First Option with respect to the Valley
Green 5 Building,  Apple shall pay, as Base Monthly Rent for the Premises  under
the Sublease for the First Extended  Term,  the amount of One Hundred  Fifty-Six
Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($156,200.00) per month.

4. REPLACEMENT OF HVAC EQUIPMENT.

4.1 Berg and Apple agree that the  existing  roof-top  heating  and  ventilating
units (the "VAV HVAC" units) on the Valley Green 6 Building need to be replaced.

4.2 It is  hereby  agreed  that  Berg  shall  provide  Apple  with an  equipment
improvement  fund,  in an amount  not to exceed  Seven  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand
Dollars ($750,000) (hereinafter referred to as the "Fund Amount"),  which amount
shall be used to reimburse  Apple for costs incurred in connection with the work
of installing four (4) new VAV HVAC units  (hereinafter  referred to as "Work").
(See  Specification Book and Drawings  consisting of 14 pages (0.00,  M0.1-M0.2,
M1.1-M1.2, M1.4-M1.6, M6.1, M9.1, E1.1-1.2 and S1.1-S1.2) dated May 24, 1995 and
prepared by ENCO Energy Conservation Company, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by this reference.)

4.3 The scope of the Work shall include:  (i) structural and engineering design,
(ii) purchasing  mechanical  equipment consisting of four (4) VAV HVAC units (75
tons  each for a total  of 300  tons)  (collectively,  the  "Equipment"),  (iii)
structural  roof work,  (iv) labor and  installation  of the Equipment,  and (v)
modifications to the existing duct work.

4.4 Apple shall hire all  contractors for the prosecution of the Work, and shall
manage the Work. Apple shall pay for all Work,  subject to Berg's  obligation to
reimburse  Apple for such  costs,  as set forth in Section 5 of this  Amendment,
below.  Upon completion of the Work, Apple shall submit to Berg proof that Apple
has paid for the Work  (including  true and correct  copies of all paid invoices
for the Work),  and Berg shall  promptly  reimburse  Apple for the amount of all
such invoices, in an amount not exceeding the Fund Amount.

4.5 Both parties agree that portions of the Work have already  commenced and the
estimated completion date is September 15,1995.

5. REPAYMENT.

5.1 Apple and Berg agree that Berg, as landlord, shall be entitled to recapture,
and shall recapture, a portion of the cost of the Work through periodic payments
from Apple to Berg, as set forth in this Section 5.

5.2 The total  cost of the Work will be  amortized  over a ten (10) year  period
(which is the deemed useful life of the improvements which constitute the Work),
with an annual interest rate of ten percent (10%).

5.3 Commencing on a date to be determined as set forth in Paragraph 5.5,  below,
Apple will, during the remaining term of the Sublease  (including any further or
additional option,  extension or renewal periods), make monthly payments to Berg
in accordance with the attached amortization  schedule,  which schedule is based
on the Fund  Amount.  Based on the Fund  Amount  and the  attached  amortization
schedule,  the  additional  monthly rent required to be paid by Apple to Berg is
Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Twelve Dollars  ($9,912.00),  hereinafter referred to
as the  "Repayment  Amount".  This  Repayment  Amount will be included  with the
monthly base rent otherwise due and payable under the Sublease.

5.4 If the actual total cost of the Work is less than the Fund Amount,  then the
schedule will be modified to equal the amount of the actual cost of the Work. It
is mutually agreed by both parties that the methodology  used in calculating any
revised  monthly  payments which may be due if the cost of the Work is less than
the Fund Amount will be the same as the attached amortization  schedule. In such
event,  Berg shall provide a revised  amortization  schedule based on the actual
cost of the Work and it shall specify the revised  monthly payment to be paid by
Apple.

5.5 The start date for commencement of the amortization of the Work shall be the
first day of the month following  reimbursement by Berg to Apple, as provided in
Paragraph 5.4, above.  Apple and Berg shall mutually agree upon the amortization
commencement  date.  5.6 If the Sublease  (as it may be renewed or extended,  in
Apple's  discretion and pursuant to the terms of the Sublease)  expires prior to
the expiration of the ten year amortization  period,  then Apple's obligation to
pay the monthly  Repayment  Amount shall cease as of the  expiration  date,  and
Apple  shall  thereafter  have no further  liability  to Berg for payment of any
portion of the amortized amount.

6. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT: RATIFICATION OF SUBLEASE.

Except as modified by this Amendment, the Sublease is hereby ratified,  approved
and confirmed upon all of the original terms and conditions.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this  Amendment on the dates set

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 STANDARD FORM LEASE
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PARTIES: This Lease, executed in duplicate at Cupertino, California, on December
____, 1996, by and between Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc., a California
Corporation, and Cisco Systems, Inc. , a California Corporation, hereinafter
called respectively Lessor and Lessee, without regard to number or gender.

USE: WITNESSETH: That Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hires from
Lessor, for the purpose of conducting therein office, research and development,
light manufacturing, and warehouse activities, and any other legal activity; and
for no other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor.

PREMISES: The real property with appurtenances as shown on Exhibit A (the
"Premises") situated in the City of Santa Clara, County of Santa Clara, State of
California, and more particularly described as follows:

     65,780 square feet of building, including all improvements thereto, as
     shown on Exhibit A.1 including the right to use all parking available at
     the Premises.  The address for the Premises is 4750 Patrick Henry Drive,
     Santa Clara, California.  Lessee's pro-rata share of the building is 100%.

TERM: The term shall be for thirty-six (36) months unless extended pursuant to
Section 35 of this Lease (the "Lease Term"), commencing on the February 1, 1997
(the "Commencement Date") and ending on the date that is thirty-six (36) months
thereafter.

RIGHT TO TERMINATE:  If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises
to Lessee by April 1, 1997, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease
by providing written notice to Lessor no later than April 15, 1997.

RENT: Base rent shall be payable in monthly installments as follows:
      Months 1 through 36                     $75,647

Base rent as scheduled above shall be payable in advance on or before the first
day of each calendar month during the Lease Term.  The term "Rent," as used
herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the base monthly rent and all other
sums required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.  Rent
shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset or
deduction, and shall be paid to Lessor at such place or places as may be
designated from time to time by Lessor.  Rent for any period less than a
calendar month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.  Upon
execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the first month's base
rent.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the sum of Seventy-Five
Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Seven Dollars ($75,647) (the "Security Deposit"). 
The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the faithful
performance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Lease applicable to Lessee.  If Lessee commits a default as provided for herein,
including but not limited to a default with respect to the provisions contained
herein relating to the condition of the Premises, Lessor may (but shall not be
required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for
the payment of any amount which Lessor may spend by reason of default by Lessee.
If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall,
within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Lessor in an
amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. 
Lessee's failure to do so shall be a default by Lessee.  Any attempt by Lessee
to transfer or encumber its interest in the Security Deposit shall be null and
void.  Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the
Security Deposit. Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to waive the
requirement for Lessee to make a security deposit provided Lessee's
shareholder's equity exceeds $50 million.  If at any time during this Lease,
Lessee's shareholder's equity is less than $50 million, Lessee shall deposit
with Lessor the Security Deposit referenced above within ten days after the
issuance of Lessee's financial statements indicating the reduction in
shareholder's equity below $50 million.  If Lessee fails to make the Security
Deposit as required, Lessee shall be deemed to be in default per Section 14.1
(a) of this Lease.

<PAGE>

LATE CHARGES: Lessee hereby acknowledges that a late payment made by Lessee to
Lessor of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Lessor
according to the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. 
Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Lessee is not
received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount
is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five (5%) percent 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
payments made by Lessee.  Acceptance of such late charges by Lessor shall in no
event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue
amount, nor shall it prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies granted hereunder.  No more than once per calendar year, such late
charge shall not be due and payable from Lessee if an installment of Rent or any
other sum due from Lessee is not received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within
said ten (10) day period after such amount is due if Lessee delivers payment of
such overdue amount within five (5) business days after Lessor's delivery of
notice to Lessee that such overdue amount has not been received by Lessor.

QUIET ENJOYMENT: Lessor covenants and agrees with Lessee that upon Lessee paying
Rent and performing its covenants and conditions under this Lease, Lessee shall
and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Lease
Term, subject, however, to the rights reserved by Lessor hereunder.  Lessor
warrants that it has the full right and authority to execute and perform the
obligations of Lessor under this Lease and to grant the leasehold estate demised
herein.

IT IS FURTHER MUTUALLY AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

1. POSSESSION: Possession shall be deemed tendered and rent shall commence on
the Commencement Date. 

2. LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS: Subject to Lessor's obligation set forth in the first
sentence of Section 2.1, Lessor is delivering the Premises to Lessee  in an "AS
IS" physical and operating condition.  Lessee agrees, at its sole cost and
expense, to improve the entire building to the standard of a typical Cisco
Systems building including carpeting, drop ceiling, VAV HVAC system, and open
office electrical.  Lessee shall not be responsible for the cost of restoration
or improvements to the exterior of the building, foundation, exterior walls,
roof membrane, or roof structure unless such costs are a result of Lessee's
application for modifications to the Premises or actual modifications to the
Premises made by Lessee or Lessee's Agents or the acts or omissions of Lessee or
Lessee's Agents.  As part of Lessee's initial improvements, Lessee shall be
permitted to reconfigure parking.

2.1 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND COVENANTS TO SURRENDER: Lessor represents that
the Premises are in good order and repair considering age, and complies with all
requirements for occupancy as of the last remodel by the former Lessee.  Lessor
has agreed to this Lease based on a total interior remodel by Lessee.  Lessee
agrees on the last day of the Lease Term, or on the sooner termination of this
Lease, to surrender the Premises to Lessor in Good Condition and Repair.  Good
Condition and Repair ("Good Condition and Repair") shall not mean original
condition, but shall mean that the Premises are in a commercially acceptable
condition for surrender by a reasonable lessee.  The interior walls of all
office and warehouse areas, the floors of all office and warehouse areas, all
suspended ceilings and any carpeting are to be cleaned and in Good Condition and
Repair.  Lessee also agrees to surrender unto Lessor all alterations, additions,
and improvements which may have been made in, to, or on the Premises by Lessee.
Lessee, on or before the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this
Lease, shall remove all its personal property and trade fixtures from the
Premises, and all such property not so removed shall be deemed to be abandoned
by Lessee.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all disposition costs incurred by
Lessor relative to Lessee's abandoned property.  If the Premises are not
surrendered at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from any delay
caused by Lessee in surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any
claims made by any succeeding Lessee founded on such delay.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if (i) Lessee notifies Lessor at 


PAGE 2
<PAGE>

least six (6) months before the end of the Lease Term, (ii) Lessee provides
Lessor with a date certain that Lessee will be vacating the Premises, and (iii)
the hold over requested is for a period of six (6) months or less, Lessee shall
not be liable for any consequential damages which may result from the holdover
provided the above conditions are met by Lessee, including any claims pursuant
to the foregoing indemnity. 

3. USES PROHIBITED: Lessee shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any
waste upon the Premises, or any nuisance, or other act or thing which may
disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in or around the buildings in
which the subject Premises are located or allow any sale by auction upon the
Premises, or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful
or objectionable purpose, or place any loads upon the floor, walls, or ceiling
which may endanger the structure, or use any machinery or apparatus which will
in any manner vibrate or shake the Premises or the building of which it is a
part, or place any harmful liquids in the drainage system of the building. 
Lessee shall not store any materials, including, without limitation, waste
materials or refuse, outside the building proper, except in fully screened or
fenced areas designed for such purpose, which have been approved in writing by
Lessor for such use, subject to any required city approvals.  No waste materials
or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the
Premises outside of the building proper.  No materials, supplies, equipment,
finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any
nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain on any portion of the
Premises outside of the building structure, unless approved by the local, state
federal or other applicable governing authority.  Lessor consents to Lessee's
use of materials which are incidental to the normal, day-to-day operations of
any office user, such as copier fluids, cleaning materials, etc., but this does
not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations not to contaminate the Premises or
related real property or violated any Hazardous Materials Laws.

4. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS: Lessee shall not make, or suffer to be made, any
alteration or addition to said Premises, or any part thereof in excess of
$15,000 after completion of Lessee's initial improvements, without the express,
advance written consent of Lessor; any addition or alteration to said Premises,
except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall become at once a part of the
realty and belong to Lessor at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination
of this Lease.  Alterations and additions which are not deemed as trade fixtures
shall include HVAC systems, lighting systems, electrical systems, partitioning,
carpeting, or any other installation which has become an integral part of the
Premises.  Lessee agrees that it will not proceed to make such alterations or
additions until all required government permits have been obtained and after
having obtained consent from Lessor to do so, until five (5) days from the
receipt of such consent, so that Lessor may post appropriate notices to avoid
any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for Lessee's
improvements.  Lessee shall at all times permit such notices to be posted and to
remain posted until the completion of work.  At the end of the Lease Term or
earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall remove and shall be required to
remove its special tenant improvements and all related equipment installed by
Lessee at or during the Lease Term and Lessee shall return the Premises to the
condition that existed before the installation of the special tenant
improvements.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to allow any reasonable
standard Cisco System building alterations and improvements as provided for in
Section 2 to remain at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this
Lease.

5. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES: Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense keep and
maintain the interior of the Premises, including, but not limited to, all
lighting systems, temperature control systems, plumbing systems, and all window
washing, exterior and interior, in Good Condition and Repair, including any
required replacements.  Lessee shall maintain all wall surfaces and floor
coverings in Good Condition and Repair, free of holes, gouges, or defacements.

Lessee shall keep and maintain in Good Condition and Repair including
replacements, at Lessee's expense, the following:
     1. The exterior of the building, any appurtenances and every part thereof,
     including but not limited to, glazing, sidewalks, parking areas, electrical
     systems, HVAC systems, elevator systems, roof, and painting of exterior
     walls.

     2. The HVAC by a service contract with a licensed air conditioning and
     heating contractor which contract shall provide for a minimum of bi-monthly
     maintenance of all air conditioning and heating equipment at the Premises
     including HVAC repairs or replacements which are either excluded from such
     service contract or any existing equipment warranties.
     3. The landscaping by a landscape contract to water, maintain, trim and
     replace, when necessary, any shrubbery and landscaping on the Premises.
     4. The roof membrane shall be maintained at the expense of Lessor by a
     service contract with a licensed reputable roofing contractor which
     contract shall provide for a minimum of semi-annual maintenance, cleaning
     storm gutters, drains and removing debris and trimming overhanging trees,
     repair of the roof, and application of a finish coat every five years at
     the Premises.  Notwithstanding the terms above related to the roof,
     Lessee's total obligation shall be $7,000 per year to cover any
     maintenance, repairs, and roof amortization costs.
     5. Extermination services.
     6. Fire monitoring services.

Lessee hereby waives any and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Lessor
as provided in Section 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and
all rights provided for by Section 1941 of said Civil Code.

Lessor shall be responsible for any structural defects in the Premises including
the roof structure (not membrane), exterior walls and foundation during the
Lease Term.

6. HAZARD INSURANCE: Lessee shall not use, or permit said Premises, or any part
thereof, to be used, for any purpose other than that for which said Premises are
hereby leased; and no use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Premises,
nor acts done, which may cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering
said building, or any part thereof, nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept,
used or sold, in or about said Premises, any article which may be prohibited by
a standard form fire and extended form insurance policy.  Lessee shall, at its
sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements, pertaining to said
Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the
maintenance of reasonable fire and general liability insurance, covering said
building and appurtenances.  Lessee agrees to purchase and keep in force fire
and extended coverage insurance covering loss or damage to the  Premises in an
amount equal to the full replacement cost of said Premises as determined by
Lessor, with proceeds payable to Lessor.  For purposes of this Lease, the full
replacement cost of the building shall not be less than $4,900,000.  Lessee
acknowledges that the insurance referenced above does not include coverage for
Lessee's personal property.  In the event of a loss per the insurance provisions
of this paragraph, Lessee shall be responsible for all deductibles.  Lessee
agrees to pay the full cost of said insurance.  Lessee shall provide all of the
policies of insurance required in this Lease provided the policies meet the
minimum standards of Lessor ("Lessor's Insurance Standards") as follows and are
paid in full by Lessee: (a) certificates evidencing the insurance required under
this Lease shall be deposited with Lessor thirty (30) days prior to the
Commencement Date, and upon each renewal of such policies, shall be effective
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the term of such
coverage, (b) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and shall
provide all of the coverage required in this Lease, (c) shall be carried with
companies with a Best Rating of AVIII minimum, (d) shall specifically provide
that such policies shall not be subject to cancellation, reduction of coverage
or other change except after at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Lessor, (e) shall name Lessor, a lender with a security interest in the Premises
identified to Lessee by Lessor, as additional insureds by endorsement to policy
to the extent of the full replacement cost of the Premises, (f) shall provide
the insurance proceeds are payable to Lessor, and (g) shall provide that Lessee
assumes the responsibilities set forth in Section 19 with regard to maintaining
insurance.  


PAGE 4
<PAGE>

Lessor and Lessee hereby waive any rights each may have against the other
related to any loss or damage caused to Lessor or Lessee as the case may be, or
to the Premises or its contents, and which may arise from any risk generally
covered by fire and extended coverage insurance.  Lessee shall provide that the
insurance policies insuring the property or the personal property include a
waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may have against
Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be.  Lessee shall maintain in full force and
effect, a policy of rental loss insurance, in an amount equal to the amount of
Rent payable by Lessee commencing on the date of loss during the next ensuing
one (1) year, as reasonably determined by Lessor with proceeds payable to Lessor
("Loss of Rents Insurance").  Lessee shall pay for the full cost of the Loss of
Rents Insurance.  The proceeds payable to Lessor from the Loss of Rents
Insurance coverage shall not be less than $1,020,000 per year payable monthly. 

7. ABANDONMENT: Lessee shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the Lease Term; and if Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender said
Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal
property belonging to Lessee and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be
abandoned, at the option of Lessor.  Notwithstanding the above, the Premises
shall not be considered vacated or abandoned if Lessee maintains the Premises in
Good Condition and Repair, provides security and is not in default.

8. FREE FROM LIENS: Lessee shall keep the subject Premises and the property in
which the subject Premises are situated, free from any and all liens including
but not limited to liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished,
or obligations incurred by Lessee.  However, the Lessor shall allow Lessee to
contest a lien claim, so long as the claim is discharged prior to any
foreclosure proceeding being initiated against the property and provided Lessee
provides Lessor a bond if the lien exceeds $5,000.
 
9. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS: Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all local, municipal, state and
federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining
to the Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of the Premises all
local and municipal ordinances and state and federal statutes now in force or
which may hereafter be in force. Except as stated above, Lessee shall not be
required to pay for the construction of any single improvement required under
this Section in excess of $25,000, unless such improvement (i) is required to
comply with Lessee's particular use of the Premises, (ii) is required as a
result of Lessee or Lessee's Agents application for modifications to the
Premises or (iii) is required as a result of actual modifications to the
Premises made by Lessee or Lessee's Agents; if such improvement is not required
due to Lessee's particular use of the Premises or is not required as a result of
Lessee or Lessee's Agents application for modifications to the Premises or
actual modifications to the Premises by Lessee or Lessee's Agents and such
improvement cost exceeds $25,000, such improvement cost shall be amortized over
the estimated useful life of the improvement, not to exceed 15 years at Wells
Fargo prime rate plus one percent (1%).  Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
amortized costs of such improvement on a monthly basis over the Lease Term. 

10. LESSEE'S INSURANCE: Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to be
rendered to Lessor, hereby waives all claims against Lessor and Lessor's Agents
for damages to goods, wares and merchandise, and all other personal property in,
upon or about said Premises, and for injuries to persons in, upon or about said
Premises, from any cause arising at any time, and Lessee will hold Lessor and
Lessor's Agents exempt and harmless from any damage or injury to any person, or
to the goods, wares and merchandise and all other personal property of any
person, arising from the use or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, or from the
failure of Lessee to keep the Premises in good condition and repair, as herein
provided.  Lessee shall secure and keep in force a standard policy of commercial
general liability insurance and property damage policy covering the Premises,
including parking areas, insuring the Lessee.   A certificate of said policy
naming Lessor as an additional insured shall be delivered to Lessor and will
have a combined single limit for both bodily injury, death and property damage
in an amount not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) and shall self
insure for a minimum of three million dollars ($3,000,000).  The limits of said
insurance 


PAGE 5
<PAGE>

shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder.  The certificate of
Lessee's insurance shall require the insurer to notify Lessor 30 days in advance
in writing before any cancellation thereof.  Lessee shall obtain, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance
including coverage for direct physical loss special form, and a sprinkler
leakage endorsement insuring the personal property of Lessee.  The proceeds from
any personal property damage policy shall be payable to Lessee.  Lessee shall,
at its sole cost and expense, comply with all of the insurance requirements of
all local, municipal, state and federal authorities now in force, or which may
hereafter be in force, pertaining to Lessee's use and occupancy of the said
Premises.  

10.1 LESSEE'S SELF-INSURANCE:  Notwithstanding the insurance provisions of 
this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall have the right to self-insure with 
respect to any of the insurance required under this Lease and Lessor agrees 
to waive the above liability insurance requirements provided (i) Lessee is a 
publicly traded U.S. Corporation whose stock is traded on a nationally 
recognized exchange, (ii) Lessee has not assigned this Lease, (iii) Lessee 
maintains a minimum net worth of at least one hundred million dollars 
($100,000,000) according to its most recent audited financial statements, 
(iv) Lessee governs and manages its self-insurance program in a manner 
consistent with programs managed by prudent businesses whose stock is 
publicly traded on nationally recognized exchanges; and (v) applicable law(s) 
do not prohibit or render unenforceable indemnification of Lessor for 
Lessor's own negligence.  Upon request, Lessee shall supply to Lessor from 
time to time with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of Lessee's net 
worth and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above.  If Lessee 
elects to self-insure, Lessee shall be responsible for losses or liabilities 
which would have been assumed by insurance companies which would have issued 
the insurance required by Lessee under this Lease in conformance with 
Lessor's Insurance Standards plus any deductibles and Lessee shall accept 
Lessor's tender of defense for any claims within the scope of Lessee's 
indemnity obligations as if Lessor and Lessor's lender, if any, were named as 
additional insureds on any liability policy maintained by Lessee meeting 
Lessor's Insurance Standards.  Lessee will notify Lessor in advance of any 
period for which Lessee intends to self-insure and shall provide Lessor with 
satisfactory evidence that it complies with the requirements set forth herein 
in order to give Lessor an opportunity to confirm the satisfaction of the 
conditions set forth herein.  For so long as Lessee self-insures, Lessee, for 
applicable periods, shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, 
its partners, agents, employees and representatives for and against all 
costs, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred 
or paid by Lessor as a result of any claim customarily covered by a 
broad-form policy of commercial general liability insurance and property 
damage provided by such policy(ies) meet Lessor's Insurance Standards as 
defined in Section 6, including a contractual liability endorsement.  

11. ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS: Lessee shall not place or permit to be placed, in,
upon or about the Premises any unusual or extraordinary signs, or any signs not
approved by the city, local, state, federal or other applicable governing
authority. Lessee shall not place, or permit to be placed upon the Premises, any
signs, advertisements or notices without the written consent of the Lessor, and
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A sign so placed on the
Premises shall be so placed upon the understanding and agreement that Lessee
will remove same at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this
Lease and repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, and if not
so removed by Lessee, then Lessor may have the same removed at Lessee's expense.

12. UTILITIES: Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities supplied to the Premises.  Any charges for sewer
usage, PG&E, and telephone service to the Premises or related fees shall be the
obligation of Lessee and paid for by Lessee.  If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion of all
charges which are jointly metered, the determination to be made by Lessor acting
reasonably and on any equitable basis.  Lessee and Lessor agree that Lessor
shall not be liable to Lessee for any disruption in any of the utility services
to the Premises.

<PAGE>

13. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In case suit should be brought for the possession of the
Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, because of the breach of
any other covenant herein, or to enforce, protect, or establish any term,
conditions, or covenant of this Lease or the right of either party hereunder,
the losing party shall pay to the Prevailing Party reasonable attorney's fee
which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and
shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.  The
term "Prevailing Party" shall mean the party that received substantial relief
requested, whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or
otherwise.

14.1 DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default
and breach of this Lease by Lessee: a) Any failure by Lessee to pay Rent or to
make any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when due if not
cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; b)
The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Lessee except as provided in
Section 7; c) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure continues
for thirty days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; provided,
however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot be
reasonably cured within such thirty (30) 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; d) The making by Lessee
of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against
Lessee of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy; e) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Lessee's assets or Lessee's interest in this Lease, or 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.

14.2 SURRENDER OF LEASE: In the event of any such default by Lessee, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor
shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease before the end of the
Lease Term and all rights of Lessee hereunder, by giving written notice of such
intention to terminate.  In the event that Lessor terminates this Lease due to a
default of Lessee, then Lessor may recover from Lessee: a) the worth at the time
of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such
termination; plus b) the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent which would
have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeding the amount
of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;
plus c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent
for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment
proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform his obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom; and e) at Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable
California law.  As used in (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award"
is computed by allowing interest at the rate of Wells Fargo's prime rate plus
two percent (2%) per annum.  As used in (c) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent
(1%).

14.3 RIGHT OF ENTRY AND REMOVAL: In the event of any such default by Lessee, 
Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to 
re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; 
such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at 
the cost of and for the account of Lessee.

14.4 ABANDONMENT: In the event of the vacation or abandonment, except as
provided in Section 7, of the Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor
shall elect to re-enter as provided in paragraph 14.3 above or shall take
possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any
notice provided by law, and Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease as
provided in paragraph 14.2 above, then Lessor may from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, either recover all Rent as it becomes due or relet the
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental rates and
upon such other terms 


PAGE 7
<PAGE>

and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable with the
right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.  In the event that Lessor
elects to relet the Premises, then Rent received by Lessor from such reletting
shall be applied; first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any cost of such
reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to
the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied to the payment of future
Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.  Should that portion of
such Rent received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the
payment of Rent hereunder according to the application procedure outlined above,
be less than the Rent payable during that month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee
shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately upon demand therefor by Lessor. 
Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.  Lessee shall also pay to
Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the
rentals received from such reletting.

14.5 NO IMPLIED TERMINATION: No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by
Lessor pursuant to 14.3 or 14.4 of this Article 14 shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by
Lessor because of any default by Lessee, Lessor may at any time after such
reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default. 

15. SURRENDER OF LEASE: The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or sub tenancies,
or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to him of any or all
such subleases or sub tenancies.

16. TAXES: Lessee shall pay and discharge punctually and when the same shall
become due and payable without penalty, all real estate taxes, personal property
taxes, taxes based on vehicles utilizing parking areas in the Premises, taxes
computed or based on rental income (other than federal, state and municipal net
income taxes), environmental surcharges, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business
and occupation taxes, school fees or surcharges, gross receipts taxes, sales
and/or use taxes, employee taxes, occupational license taxes, water and sewer
taxes, assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public
improvements or benefit), assessments for local improvement and maintenance
districts, and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and
nature whatsoever, regardless of whether now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from
increased rate and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general
or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called "Tax" or
"Taxes") which, at any time during the Lease Term, shall be applicable or
against the Premises, or shall become due and payable and a lien or charge upon
the Premises under or by virtue of any present or future laws, statutes,
ordinances, regulations, or other requirements of any governmental authority
whatsoever. The term "Environmental Surcharge" shall include any and all
expenses, taxes, charges or penalties imposed by the Federal Department of
Energy, Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Clean Air Act, or
any regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other local, state or federal
governmental agency or entity now or hereafter vested with the power to impose
taxes, assessments or other types of surcharges as a means of controlling or
abating environmental pollution or the use of energy (i) generally imposed on
similar properties in a wide geographic area without regard to whether the
properties subject to the tax are contaminated by Hazardous Materials and which
is part of a comprehensive plan imposed by a governmental unit or (ii) imposed
with respect to the Premises as the result of the presence of Hazardous
Materials for which Lessee is required to indemnify Lessor under Section 33
below or to undertake remediation pursuant to Section 33.5 below.  The term
"Tax" shall include, without limitation, all taxes, assessments, levies, fees,
impositions or charges levied, imposed, assessed, measured, or based in any
manner whatsoever (i) in whole or in part on the Rent payable by Lessee under
this Lease, (ii) upon or with respect to the use, possession, occupancy,
leasing, operation or management of the Premises, (iii) upon this transaction or
any document to which Lessee is a 


PAGE 8
<PAGE>

party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises, (iv)
upon Lessee's business operations conducted at the Premises, (v) upon, measured
by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Lessee's equipment,
furniture, fixtures and other personal property located on the Premises or the
cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for
Lessee, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be in Lessor or
Lessee, or (vi) in lieu of or equivalent to any Tax set forth in this Section
16.  In the event any such Taxes are payable by Lessor and it shall not be
lawful for Lessee to reimburse Lessor for such Taxes, then the Rent payable
thereunder shall be increased to net Lessor the same net rent after imposition
of any such Tax upon Lessor as would have been payable to Lessor prior to the
imposition of any such Tax.  It is the intention of the parties that Lessor
shall be free from all such Taxes and all other governmental impositions and 
charges of every kind and nature whatsoever.  However, nothing contained in this
Section 16 shall require Lessee to pay any Federal or State income, franchise,
estate, inheritance, succession, transfer or excess profits tax imposed upon
Lessor.  If any general or special assessment is levied and assessed against the
Premises, Lessor agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to cause the
assessment to become a lien on the Premises securing repayment of a bond sold to
finance the improvements to which the assessment relates which is payable in
installments of principal and interest over the maximum term allowed by law.  It
is understood and agreed that Lessee's obligation under this paragraph will be
prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and the end of the Lease Term.  It is
further understood that if Taxes cover the Premises and Lessee does not occupy
the entire Premises, the Taxes will be allocated to the portion of the Premises
occupied by Lessee based on a pro-rata square footage or other equitable basis. 
Notwithstanding the above, Lessee shall have no obligation for taxes until due
or any personal property taxes attributable to sculptures or other objects of
art installed by Lessor on the Premises or reserves for future taxes. 

Subject to any limitations or restrictions imposed by any deeds of trust or
mortgages now or hereafter covering or affecting the Premises, Lessee shall have
the right to contest or review the amount or validity of any Tax by appropriate
legal proceedings but which is not to be deemed or construed in any way as
relieving, modifying or extending Lessee's covenant to pay such Tax at the time
and in the manner as provided in this Section 16.  However, as a condition of
Lessee's right to contest, if such contested Tax is not paid before such contest
and if the legal proceedings shall not operate to prevent or stay the collection
of the Tax so contested, Lessee shall, before instituting any such proceeding,
protect the Premises and the interest of Lessor and of the beneficiary of a deed
of trust or the mortgagee of a mortgage affecting the Premises against any lien
upon the Premises by a surety bond, issued by an insurance company acceptable to
Lessor and in an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the amount
contested or, at Lessor's option, the amount of the contested Tax and the
interest and penalties in connection therewith.  Any contest as to the validity
or amount of any Tax, whether before or after payment, shall be made by Lessee
in Lessee's own name, or if required by law, in the name of Lessor or both
Lessor and Lessee.  Lessee shall defend, indemnify  and hold harmless Lessor
from and against any and all costs or expenses, including attorneys' fees, in
connection with any such proceedings brought by Lessee, whether in its own name
or not. Lessee shall be entitled to retain any refund of any such contested Tax
and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee.  Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as affecting or limiting Lessor's right to
contest any Tax at Lessor's expense.  In the event Lessor receives the refund of
any such contested Taxes, Lessor shall refund such amount to Lessee within
thirty (30) days after such refund in received by Lessor during the Lease Term.

17. NOTICES: Unless otherwise provided for in this Lease, any and all written

18. ENTRY BY LESSOR: Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter into and
upon said Premises at all reasonable times subject to 24 hours advance written
notice to Lessee, except in emergency situations in which case no notice
required, using the minimum amount of interference and inconvenience to Lessee
and Lessee's business, subject to any security regulations of Lessee, for the
purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the building in
which said Premises are situated, or for the purpose of making repairs,
alterations or additions to any other portion of said building, including the
erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may
be required, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Lessee for
any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises; and shall permit
Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the end of
the Lease Term, to place upon said Premises any usual or ordinary "For Sale" or
"For Lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable
hours.  Notice for entry under this Section 18 can be made telephonically to
Lessee's designated representative at the Premises.

19. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event of a partial or complete destruction
of the Premises during the Lease Term from any cause except earthquakes, Lessee
shall forthwith repair the same under the laws and regulations of State,
Federal, County, or Municipal authorities,  except that Lessee shall be entitled
to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being made to the
extent of payments received by Lessor under the Loss of Rents Insurance
coverage.

20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any 
interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or any part thereof, 
or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or cause any other person or 
entity (a bona fide subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee excepted) to occupy or 
use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the advance written consent 
of Lessor.  Whether or not Lessor's consent to a sublease or assignment is 
required, in the event of any sublease or assignment, Lessee shall be and 
shall remain primarily liable for the performance of all conditions, 
covenants, and obligations of Lessee hereunder and, in the event of a default 
by an assignee or sublessee, Lessor may proceed directly against the original 
Lessee hereunder and/or any other predecessor of such assignee or sublessee 
without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or 
sublessee.

21. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private
purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of
occupation hereunder, this Lease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of
the date title vests in the condemnor or purchaser, and the Rent payable
hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the
remainder of the Lease Term only that portion of 


PAGE 10
<PAGE>

Rent as the value of the part remaining, subject to Lessee's and Lessor's mutual
agreement that as a result of such taking, the remainder of the Premises is
reasonably suitable for Lessee's continued occupancy and use of the Premises. 
The rental adjustment resulting will be computed at the same Rental rate for the
remaining part not taken; however, Lessor shall have the option to terminate
this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor
or purchaser.  If all of the Premises, or such part thereof be taken so that
there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease
shall thereupon terminate.  If a part or all of the Premises be taken, all
compensation awarded upon such taking shall be payable to the Lessor.  Lessee
may file a separate claim and be entitled to any award granted to Lessee.

22. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE: The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease, means only
the owner for the time being of the land and building constituting the Premises,
so that, in the event of any sale of said land or building, or in the event of a
Lease of said building, Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of Lessor hereunder, and it shall be
deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the
purchaser of any such sale, or the Lessor of the building, that the purchaser or
lessor of the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants
and obligations of the Lessor hereunder.  If any security is given by Lessee to
secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on
the part of Lessee, Lessor may transfer and deliver the security, as such, to
the purchaser at any such sale of the building, and thereupon the Lessor shall
be discharged from any further liability.

23. SUBORDINATION: This Lease, in the event Lessor notifies Lessee in writing,
shall be subordinate to any ground lease, deed of trust, or other hypothecation
for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property at which the
Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and
to renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees
to promptly execute any documents which may be required to effectuate such
subordination provided as long as Lessee is not in default according to the
terms and conditions of this Lease, such party requesting subordination
recognizes Lessee's rights under this Lease and Lessee's right to possession of
the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and such subordination
document does not materially restrict or limit Lessee's rights or materially
increase Lessee's obligations under this Lease.  Notwithstanding such
subordination, if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the
Rent and observe and perform all of the provisions and covenants required under
this Lease, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be
disturbed or effected by any subordination.

24. WAIVER: The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition, herein contained shall not be construed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition therein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lessee's breach of any
term, covenant, or condition of the Lease.

25. HOLDING OVER: Any holding over after the end of the Lease Term requires
Lessor's written approval prior to the end of the Lease Term, which,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessor may withhold and
shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance from month to month.  Lessee
shall pay to Lessor monthly base rent equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the
monthly base rent installment due in the last month of the Lease Term and all
other additional rent and all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall
apply, so far as applicable.  Holding over by Lessee without written approval of
Lessor shall subject Lessee to the liabilities and obligations provided for in
this Lease and by law, including, but not limited to those in Section 2.1 of
this Lease.  Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any loss or
liability resulting from any delay caused by Lessee in surrendering the
Premises, including without limitation, any claims made or penalties incurred by
any succeeding lessee or by Lessor.  No holding over shall be deemed or
construed to exercise any option to extend or renew this Lease in lieu of full
and timely exercise of any such option as required hereunder.

26. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The covenants and conditions herein contained shall,
subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto;
and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Lessee shall at any time during the Lease Term, upon
not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Lessor, execute and
deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying that, this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modification) and the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been
paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder or specifying
such defaults if they are claimed.  Any such statement may be conclusively
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. 
Lessee's failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon the Lessee that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Lessor; (b) there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance.

28. TIME: Time is of the essence of the Lease.

29. CAPTIONS: The headings on titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not a
part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part thereof.  This instrument contains all of the
agreements and conditions made between the parties hereto and may not be
modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by
all of the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

30. PARTY NAMES: Landlord and Tenant may be used in various places in this Lease
as a substitute for Lessor and Lessee respectively.

31. EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE: As a condition of Lessor agreeing to waive the
requirement for earthquake insurance, Lessee agrees that it will pay, as
additional Rent, an amount not to exceed Twenty-Six Thousand Three Hundred
Dollars ($26,300) per year for earthquake insurance if Lessor desires to obtain
some form of earthquake insurance in the future, if and when available, on terms
acceptable to Lessor.

32. HABITUAL DEFAULT: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in 
Section 14 herein, Lessor and Lessee agree that if Lessee shall have 
defaulted in the payment of Rent for three or more times during any twelve 
month period during the Lease Term, then such conduct shall, at the option of 
the Lessor, represent a separate event of default which cannot be cured by 
Lessee.  Lessee acknowledges that the purpose of this provision is to prevent 
repetitive defaults by the Lessee under the Lease, which constitute a 
hardship to the Lessor and deprive the Lessor of the timely performance by 
the Lessee hereunder.

arising from such entry by Lessee or from the performance of any such
investigation by such Lessee.  Within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date,

33.7 SURVIVAL: The obligations of Lessee under this Section 33 shall survive the
Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease.  

33.8 CERTIFICATION AND CLOSURE: On or before the end of the Lease Term or
earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a
certification executed by Lessee stating that, to the best of Lessee's
knowledge, there exists no violation of Hazardous Material Laws resulting from
Lessee's obligation in Paragraph 33.  If pursuant to local ordinance, state or
federal law, Lessee is required, at the expiration of the Lease Term, to submit
a closure plan for the Premises to a local, state or federal agency, then Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor a copy of such plan.

33.9 PRIOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Lessee shall have no obligation to clean up or
to hold Lessor harmless with respect to, any Hazardous Material or wastes
discovered on the Premises which were not introduced into, in, on, about, from
or under the Premises during the Lease Term or ground water contamination from
other parcels where the source is from off the Premises not arising from or
caused by Lessee or Lessee's Agents.

34. BROKERS: Lessor and Lessee represent that they have not utilized or
contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to this Lease other than
CPS ("CPS") and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any
claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any broker or finder
claiming through Lessee other than CPS.  Lessor shall at its sole cost and
expense pay the brokerage commission per Lessor's standard commission schedule
to CPS in connection with this transaction.  Lessor represents and warrants that
it has not utilized or contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to
this Lease other than CPS and Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold Lessee
harmless against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any
broker or finder claiming through Lessor.

35. OPTION TO EXTEND: Lessor hereby grants to Lessee one (1) option to extend
the Lease Term, with the extended term to be for a period of one (1) year, on
the following terms and conditions:

     (i) Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of its exercise of its option
     to extend no earlier than twenty-four (24) calendar months, nor later than
     six (6) calendar months before the Lease Term would end but for said
     exercise.  Time is of the essence.

     (ii) Lessee may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to any option granted by
     this section 35 if Lessee is in default as of the date of the exercise of
     its option.  If Lessee has committed a default by Lessee as defined in
     Section 14 or 32 that has not been cured or waived by Lessor in writing by
     the date that any extended term is to commence, then Lessor may 


PAGE 14
<PAGE>

     elect not to allow the Lease Term to be extended, notwithstanding any
     notice given by Lessee of an exercise of this option to extend.

     (iii) All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the
     extended term, except that the base rent shall be $82,225.

     (iv) Once Lessee delivers a notice of exercise of its options to extend the
     Lease Term, Lessee may not withdraw such exercise and subject to the
     provisions of this Section 35, such notice shall operate to extend the
     Lease Term.  Upon any extension of the Lease Term pursuant to this Section
     35, the term "Lease Term" as used in this Lease shall thereafter include
     the then extended term. 

     (v) The option rights of Cisco Systems, Inc. granted under this Section 35
     are granted for Cisco Systems, Inc.'s personal benefit and may not be
     assigned or transferred by Cisco Systems, Inc. or exercised if Cisco
     Systems, Inc. is not occupying the Premises at the time of exercise. 
     Notwithstanding the above, Lessor waives the above due to the limit of one
     year on the option herein.

36. APPROVALS: Whenever in this Lease the Lessor's or Lessee's consent is
required, such consent shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld or
delayed.  In the event that the Lessor or Lessee does not respond to a request
for any consents which may be required of it in this Lease within ten business
days of the request of such consent in writing by the Lessee or Lessor, such
consent shall be deemed to have been given by the Lessor or Lessee.

37. AUTHORITY: Each party executing this Lease represents and warrants that 
he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver the Lease.  If executed 
on behalf of a corporation, that the Lease is executed in accordance with the 
by-laws of said corporation (or a partnership that the Lease is executed in 
accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership), that no other 
party's approval or consent to such execution and delivery is required, and 
that the Lease is binding upon said individual, corporation (or partnership) 
as the case may be in accordance with its terms.  

38. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR: Except to the extent caused by the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's Agents, Lessee shall
defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all
obligations, losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands, attorney's fees,
investigation costs or liabilities on account of, or arising out of the use,
condition or occupancy of the Premises or any act or omission to act of Lessee
or Lessee's Agents or any occurrence in, upon, about or at the Premises,
including, without limitation, any of the foregoing provisions arising out of
the use, generation, manufacture, installation, release, discharge, storage, or
disposal of Hazardous Materials by Lessee or Lessee's Agents.  It is understood
that Lessee is and shall be in control and possession of the Premises and that
Lessor shall in no event be responsible or liable for any injury or damage or
injury to any person whatsoever, happening on, in, about, or in connection with
the Premises, or for any injury or damage to the Premises or any part thereof. 
This Lease is entered into on the express condition that Lessor shall not be
liable for, or suffer loss by reason of injury to person or property, from
whatever cause, which in any way may be connected with the use, condition or
occupancy of the Premises or personal property located herein. The provisions of
this Lease permitting Lessor to enter and inspect the Premises are for the
purpose of enabling Lessor to become informed as to whether Lessee is complying
with the terms of this Lease and Lessor shall be under no duty to enter, inspect
or to perform any of Lessee's covenants set forth in this Lease.  Lessee shall
further indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
to Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease.  The provisions
of Section 38 shall survive the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease
with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring during the Lease Term.

39. LESSOR'S LIABILITY: If Lessee should recover a money judgment against Lessor
arising in connection with this Lease, the judgment shall be satisfied only out
of the Lessor's interest in the Premises and any proceeds from the sale or
refinance of the Premises and neither Lessor or any of its partners shall be
liable personally for any deficiency.

40. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS: All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative
and not alternative to the extent permitted by law and are in addition to all
other rights or remedies in law and in equity.

41. CHOICE OF LAW:  This lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance

and there are no agreements or representations between the parties except as
expressed herein.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, no subsequent change
or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the
parties hereto.

PARTIES: This Lease, executed in duplicate at Cupertino, California, on May __,
1995, by and between Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation,
and StrataCom, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, hereinafter called respectively
Lessor and Lessee, without regard to number or gender.

USE AND PREMISES: WITNESSETH: That Lessor hereby Leases to Lessee, and Lessee
hires from Lessor, for the purpose of conducting therein office, research and
development, light manufacturing, and warehouse activities, and any other legal
activity; and for no other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent
of Lessor, those certain Premises with the appurtenances (the "Premises"),
situated in the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of California,
and more particularly described as follows:

     200,000 square feet of space (the "Building"), including all improvements
     thereto of the Premises, including the right to use up to 700 unreserved
     parking spaces, as shown on Exhibit A.  The address for  the Premises is
     _________Hellyer Avenue, San Jose, California 95138. 

TERM: The term shall be for eighty-four (84) months, commencing on the
Commencement Date as defined in Paragraph 1 and ending eighty-four months
thereafter.

RENT: Base rent shall be payable in monthly installments as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                                <C>
     Months 1 to 24                $159,056
     Months 25 to 48               $169,056
     Months 49 to 60               $173,056
     Months 61 to 84               $183,056
</TABLE>

Base rent as scheduled above shall be payable in advance on or before the first
day of each calendar month during the term hereof.  The term "Rent," as used
herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the base monthly rent and all other
sums required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.  Rent
shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset or
deduction, and shall be paid to Lessor at such place or places as may be
designated from time to time by Lessor.  Rent for any period less than a
calendar month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.  Lessee
shall deposit with Lessor the first month's rent on or before November 1, 1995.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the sum of One Hundred 
Fifty-Nine Thousand and Fifty-Six Dollars ($159,056) (the "Security 
Deposit").  The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the 
faithful performance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions 
of this Lease applicable to Lessee.  If Lessee commits a Default as provided 
for herein, including but not limited to a Default with respect to the 
provisions contained herein relating to the condition of the Premises upon 
the Lease Expiration or Termination, Lessor may (but shall not be required 
to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the 
payment of any amount which Lessor may spend by reason of Default by Lessee.  
If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall, 
within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Lessor in an 
amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  
Lessee's failure to do so shall be a Default by Lessee.  Any attempt by 
Lessee to transfer or encumber its interest in the Security Deposit shall be 
null and void.  Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with 
Lessor the Security Deposit.  In lieu of a cash security deposit, Lessee may 
provide Lessor with an irrevocable, unconditional standard form letter of 
credit.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to waive the requirement 
for Lessee to make a security deposit provided Lessee's net worth exceeds $75 
million.  If at any time during this Lease, Lessee's net worth is less than 
$75 million, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the Security Deposit referenced 
above within ten days after the issuance of Lessee's financial statements 
indicating the reduction in net worth below $75 million. If Lessee fails to 
make the Security Deposit as required and such failure is not cured within 
ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of written notice from Lessor, Lessee 
shall be deemed to be in Default per Section 14.1 (a) of this Lease.  

LATE CHARGES: Lessee hereby acknowledges that a late payment made by Lessee to
Lessor of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Lessor
according to the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. 
Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Lessee is not
received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount
is due,

PAGE 19
<PAGE>

Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five (5%) percent 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 
payments made by Lessee.  Acceptance of such late charges by Lessor shall in 
no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default with respect to such overdue 
amount, nor shall it prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights 
and remedies granted hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to 
waive one late charge per any twelve month period during the lease term.  In 
addition, Lessee shall not be required to pay a late charge if it is the 
result of a non-recurring unusual event such as an accounting error.

QUIET ENJOYMENT: Lessor covenants and agrees with Lessee that upon Lessee paying
Rent and performing its covenants and conditions under this Lease, Lessee shall
and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Lease
Term, subject, however, to the rights reserved by Lessor hereunder.  Subject to
the above, Lessor shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement from existing or
future lenders for benefit of Lessee.

IT IS FURTHER MUTUALLY AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

1. POSSESSION: Possession shall be deemed tendered and the term shall commence
upon the first to occur of the following (the "Commencement Date"): (i) the
Premises are Substantially Complete or (ii) Lessee occupies the Premises and
commences to conduct business operations or (iii) if Lessor is prevented from or
delayed in completing its work under Section 2 of this Lease due to the acts or
omissions of Lessee, such work will be deemed Substantially Complete as of the
date on which it would have been Substantially Complete had it not been for such
Lessee-caused delay.  It is the intention of Lessee and Lessor that January 1,
1996 shall be the Commencement Date.

When the actual Commencement Date is determined, the parties shall execute a
Commencement Date Memorandum setting forth the Commencement Date, the actual
gross exterior square footage of the Building and the Base rent amount based on
the actual gross exterior square footage and the TI Allowance based on the
actual gross exterior square footage of the Building, but failure to do so shall
not affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this Lease, which shall
remain in full force and effect.      

"Substantially Complete" shall mean that: (i) Lessor has tendered possession of
Premises to Lessee, (ii) Lessor has met all legal requirements for occupancy,
(iii) The Building Shell and Lessee Improvements are materially complete per the
approved plans, exclusive of telephone or other communication systems, punchlist
items and there remains no incomplete or defective items of work which would
materially adversely affect Lessee's intended use of the Premises and (iv) said
interior of the building is in a "broom clean" condition.

2. BUILDING SHELL AND LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS: The "Building Shell", as defined in
the attached Exhibit B shall be constructed at Lessor's sole cost and expense by
independent contractors to be employed by and under the supervision of Lessor in
accordance with the StrataCom, Inc. Performance Specification Division 1-8,
attached hereto as Exhibit C, site plan, elevations, plans, specifications, and
working drawings to be prepared by Lessor, approved by Lessee, and thereafter
attached hereto as Exhibit D (collectively the "Shell Plans").

The "Lessee Interior Improvements" shall be defined as all items not part of the
Building Shell and shall conform to the StrataCom, Inc. Performance
Specification, Division 9-16, attached hereto as Exhibit C and shall be
constructed by independent contractors to be employed by and under the
supervision of Lessor, in accordance with complete plans and specifications
prepared by Lessor for submission to the City of San Jose ("Lessee Improvement
Plans"), complete with all mechanical and electrical design, approved by Lessee,
and then to be attached hereto as Exhibit E.  Lessee and its designated
representatives, shall at all times during the construction of the Building
Shell and the Lessee Interior Improvements have access to the Premises to
monitor the progress of construction and Lessor's compliance with its obligation
hereunder; provided however, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere
with the activities of Lessor or its contractors.  If Lessor notifies Lessee
that any fittings, finishes or other materials included in the specifications
for the Lessee Interior Improvements cannot be obtained within sixty (60) days
after placing an order therefor, Lessee shall be responsible for selecting
alternative fittings, finishes or other materials which can be obtained within
said sixty (60) day period, or, if Lessee does not specify any alternative,
Lessee shall be responsible for any delay beyond said sixty (60) day period.

Lessor shall be responsible for ensuring that the Building Shell and Lessee
Interior Improvements conform to all applied statutes, rules, regulations,
ordinances, and San Jose Building Department interpretations.  Lessor shall
construct the Building Shell and

PAGE 20
<PAGE>

Lessee Interior Improvements in accordance with the Lessee approved plans and
all existing applicable municipal, local, state and federal laws, statutes,
rules, regulations and ordinances.

For any contract to be entered into between Lessor and any contractor furnishing
labor or materials in connection with the construction of the Lessee Interior
Improvements where the payment due under such contract is estimated by Lessor or
Lessee to be in excess of $50,000, Lessor shall request bids from at least three
(3) qualified contractors selected by Lessor for bidding.  Lessor will accept
the lowest bid.  Lessee shall have the opportunity to review the qualified
bidders list and may select a bidder of their choice for any bid provided the
bidder meets Lessor's reasonable requirements.

Lessor shall be responsible for and shall pay the cost of the Lessee Interior
Improvements up to the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "TI
Allowance"), being $25.00 per square foot times 200,000 square feet.  In the
event the cost of the Lessee Interior Improvements is less than the TI
Allowance, the monthly rent under the Lease shall be reduced by a factor of $.01
per month for each dollar of the TI Allowance not expended.  Costs in excess of
the TI Allowance, if any, will not be incurred without advance approval of
Lessee.  Any approved cost over the TI Allowance shall be paid for by Lessee in
cash within fifteen (15) days after Lessor has provided Lessee with evidence
that the work approved is complete.  Lessor shall be entitled to a construction
management fee covering its overhead and profit on the TI Allowance not to
exceed eight percent (8%).  All costs for Lessee Interior Improvements shall be
documented and subject to verification by Lessee.  Minimum Lessee Interior
Improvements shall be $4,000,000.  

Lessor shall use its best efforts to cause the Commencement Date of the initial
term to occur not later than January 1, 1996.  If the Commencement Date of the
initial term has not occurred on or before January 15, 1996, Lessee shall be
entitled to a credit against the monthly payments of Base rent due after the
commencement of the term in an amount equal to $500,000 and if the Commencement
Date has not occurred by January 31, 1996, Lessee shall be entitled to an
additional credit of $500,000 against monthly payments of Base rent.  If the
Commencement Date has not occurred by April 15, 1996, Lessee may at its sole
option by written notice to Lessor have the right to terminate this Lease at any
time thereafter until the term, in fact, commences.  If Lessee should terminate
this Lease as provided above, Lessor shall within 5 days pay Lessee in cash the
$1,000,000 as liquidated damages.  Lessor hereby acknowledges that having a
Commencement Date after January 1, 1996 will cause Lessee to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that the above
referenced credits represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessee
will incur by reason of a Commencement Date later than January 1, 1996. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all dates stated herein shall
be extended one day for each day Lessor is unable to Substantially Complete the
Premises due to acts of God, one day for each day Lessor is unable to
Substantially Complete the Premises due to Lessee delays, one day for each day
Lessor is unable to Substantially Complete the Premises due to governmental
actions (other than governmental action of refusing to approve work which fails
to comply with the law or the building permit) which occurs after receipt of
normal building permits, and one day each for each day Lessee fails to meet
Lessee deadlines for approvals as shown on attached Exhibit F.  Lessee shall
have a minimum of 3 business days to approve or disapprove any preliminary plans
and a minimum of 10 business days to approve or disapprove any final plans.  If
plans are disapproved, Lessee shall state the reason for disapproval and Lessor
and Lessee shall act in good faith to resolve any issues.

2.1 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND COVENANTS TO SURRENDER: Lessor represents that
the Premises will be in good order and repair, and will comply with all legal
requirements for occupancy as of the Commencement Date.  Lessee agrees on the
last day of the term hereof, or on the sooner Termination of this Lease, to
surrender the Premises to Lessor in good condition and repair.  Good condition
and repair shall not mean original condition, but shall mean the Premises are in
a commercially acceptable condition suitable for continuing occupancy by a
reasonable lessee, Hazardous Materials not caused by Lessee or Lessee's Agents,
casualty damage and condemnation excepted.  The interior walls of all office and
warehouse areas, the floors of all office and warehouse areas, all suspended
ceilings and any carpeting shall be cleaned and in good condition and repair,
free of holes, gouges and defacements, Hazardous Materials not caused by Lessee
or Lessee's Agents, casualty damage and condemnation excepted.  Lessee also
agrees to surrender unto Lessor all alterations, additions, and improvements
which may have been made in, to, or on the Premises by Lessee (Lessee's
Alterations), except with respect to Lessee's Alterations which Lessor notified
Lessee that Lessor would require to be removed at the time Lessor consented to
the making of such Lessee's Alterations.  Lessee will remove all such Lessee's
Alterations at Lessee's sole cost and expense and Lessee will repair any and all
material damage to the Premises caused by such removal.  Lessee, on or before
the end of the term or sooner Termination of this

PAGE 21
<PAGE>

Lease, shall remove all its personal property and trade fixtures from the
Premises, and all such property not so removed shall be deemed to be abandoned
by Lessee.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all disposition costs incurred by
Lessor relative to Lessee's abandoned property.  If the Premises are not
surrendered at the end of the term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss
or liability resulting from any delay caused by Lessee in surrendering the
Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding lessee
founded on such delay.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessee's liability pursuant
to the indemnification provision in this Section 2.1 shall not exceed one
million dollars ($1,000,000).  Lessor waives any and all claims against and
releases Lessee from liability for loss or liability of Lessor in excess of
$1,000,000 which may be caused by or arise in connection with any delay caused
by Lessee in surrendering the Premises as provided in this Section 2.1, except
that Lessee must, in addition to the above, comply with all other terms of the
Lease, including the payment of Rent until Lessee surrenders the Premises to
Lessor.  

3. USES PROHIBITED: Lessee shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any 
waste upon the said Premises, or any nuisance, or other act or thing which 
may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in or around the 
buildings in which the subject Premises may be located or allow any sale by 
auction upon the Premises, or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, 
immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, or place any loads upon the 
floor, walls, or ceiling which may endanger the structure, or use any 
machinery or apparatus which will in any manner vibrate or shake the Premises 
or the building of which it is a part, or place any harmful liquids in the 
drainage system of the building.  No waste materials or refuse shall be 
dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the Leased Premises 
outside of the building proper.  No materials, supplies, equipment, finished 
products or semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature 
shall be stored upon or permitted to remain on any portion of the Leased 
Premises outside of the building structure, unless approved by the local, 
state federal or other applicable governing authority. Lessor consents to 
Lessee's use of materials which are incidental to the normal, day-to-day 
operations of Lessee, such as copier fluids, cleaning materials, etc., but 
this does not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations not to contaminate the 
Premises or related real property or violated any hazardous materials laws.

4. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS: Lessee shall not make, or suffer to be made, 
any alteration or addition to said Premises, or any part thereof, without the 
express, advance written consent of Lessor; any addition or alteration to 
said Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall become at 
once a part of the realty and belong to Lessor as of termination of the 
Lease. Alterations and additions which are not deemed as trade fixtures shall 
include HVAC systems, lighting systems, electrical systems, partitioning, 
carpeting, or any other installation which has become an integral part of the 
Leased Premises. Lessee agrees that it will not proceed to make such 
alterations or additions until all required government permits have been 
obtained and after having obtained consent from Lessor to do so, until five 
(5) days from the receipt of such consent, so that Lessor may post 
appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material 
suppliers for payment for Lessee's improvements. Lessee will at all times 
permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of 
work.  Lessee may remove and will be required to remove its special tenant 
improvements and all related equipment installed by Lessee at or prior to 
Lease Expiration or Termination.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to 
allow any reasonable alterations and improvements and will notify Lessee in 
accordance with Section 2.1 at the time of approval if such improvements or 
alterations are to be removed on Expiration or Termination. Notwithstanding 
the above, Lessee shall have the right, during the term of this Lease, to 
make improvements to the Premises at their sole cost and expense of $25,000 
with no approval from Lessor, provided they are not structural and subject to 
the requirement to remove the subject improvements at Lease Expiration or 
Termination.

5. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES: Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense keep 
and maintain the interior of the Premises, including, but not limited to, all 
lighting systems, temperature control systems and plumbing systems, in good 
and sanitary order, condition and repair, including any required 
replacements. Lessee shall maintain all wall surfaces and floor coverings in 
good condition.  

Lessee shall keep and maintain in good condition and repair including required
replacements, at Lessee's sole cost and expense the following:
     1. The exterior of the building, any appurtenances and every part thereof,
     including but not limited to, glazing, sidewalks, parking areas, electrical
     systems, HVAC systems, elevator systems, roof, and painting of exterior
     walls.

     2. The HVAC by a service contract with a licensed air conditioning and
     heating contractor which contract shall provide for a minimum of bi-monthly
     maintenance of all air conditioning and heating equipment at the

PAGE 22
<PAGE>

     Leased Premises including HVAC repairs or replacements which are either
     excluded from such service contract or any existing equipment warranties.
     3. The landscaping by a landscape contract to water, maintain, trim and
     replace, when necessary, any shrubbery and landscaping on the Leased
     Premises.
     4. The roof membrane by a service contract with a licensed reputable
     roofing contractor which contract shall provide for a minimum of
     semi-annual maintenance and repair of the roof at the Leased Premises,
     including cleaning storm gutters and drains and removing debris and
     trimming overhanging trees.
     5. The elevator by a service contract with a licensed elevator service
     company which contract will provide for a minimum of quarterly maintenance
     of the elevator and related equipment at the Leased Premises, including
     repair and replacements of parts and equipment.

Notwithstanding the maintenance obligations imposed on Lessee by this Section 5,
if any single repair or replacement for which Lessee would otherwise be
responsible under this Section 5 would cost more than $25,000, provided Lessee
gives Lessor 5 business days advance written notice of its intent to make such
repair (except in the case of an emergency), then Lessor shall reimburse Lessee
for the cost of such repair or replacement and the total cost shall be amortized
(calculated in terms of months) over the estimated useful life of the repair or
replacement item, not to exceed 12 years, at Wells Fargo prime rate plus one
percent (1%) and Lessee shall pay to Lessor the monthly amount so derived during
each month occurring in the remaining Lease term and any extension thereof.

Lessee hereby waives any and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Lessor
as provided in Section 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and
all rights provided for by Section 1941 of said Civil Code.

Lessor shall be responsible for any  maintaining and repairing (including,
without limitation, the correction of any defect) in the structural components
of the Premises, including without limitation, the roof structure (not
membrane), exterior walls and foundation during the Lease term subject to
Section 19.

6. HAZARD INSURANCE: Lessee shall not use, or permit said Premises, or any 
part thereof, to be used, for any purpose other than that for which said 
Premises are hereby Leased; and no use shall be made or permitted to be made 
of the said Premises, nor acts done, which may cause a cancellation of any 
insurance policy covering said building, or any part thereof, nor shall 
Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about said Premises, 
any article which may be prohibited by a standard form fire insurance policy. 
 Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all 
requirements, pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance organization or 
company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and general 
liability insurance, covering said building and appurtenances.  The Lessor 
agrees to purchase and keep in force fire and extended coverage insurance 
covering loss or damage to the  Premises in an amount equal to the full 
replacement cost of said Premises as determined by Lessor, with proceeds 
payable to Lessor.  The Lessee acknowledges that the insurance referenced 
above does not include coverage for Lessee's personal property.  In the event 
of a loss per the insurance provisions of this paragraph, Lessee shall be 
responsible for deductibles up to a maximum of $5,000 per occurrence.  The 
Lessee agrees to pay to the Lessor as additional Rent, on demand, the full 
cost of said insurance as evidenced by insurance billings to the Lessor.  It 
is understood and agreed that Lessee's obligation under this paragraph will 
be prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and Termination Date of this 
Lease.

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Lease, Lessor and Lessee
hereby waive any rights each may have against the other related to any loss or
damage caused to the Lessor or the Lessee as the case may be, or to the Premises
or its contents, and which may arise from any risk generally covered by fire and
extended coverage insurance.  The parties shall provide that their respective
insurance policies insuring the property or the personal property include a
waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may have against
the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be.  Lessor shall maintain in full
force and effect, a policy of rental loss insurance, in an amount equal to the
amount of Rent payable by Lessee commencing on the date of loss during the next
ensuing one (1) year, as reasonably determined by Lessor with proceeds payable
to Lessor unless Lessee notifies Lessor in writing that Lessee will provide the
loss of rents coverage required herein.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the
full cost of said rental loss insurance coverage.

Lessee may provide all of the policies of insurance required in Section 6
provided the policies meet the standards of Lessor below and are paid in full by
Lessee:

PAGE 23
<PAGE>

     a. certificates evidencing the insurance required hereunder shall be
     deposited with Lessor thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date, and
     upon each renewal of such policies, shall be effective not less than thirty
     (30) days prior to the expiration date of the term of such coverage, 

     b. shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and shall provide
     all of the coverage required in Section 6,

     c. shall be carried with companies with a Best Rating of A+ minimum,

     d. shall specifically provide that such policies shall not be subject to
     cancellation, reduction of coverage or other change except after at least
     thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor,

     e. shall name Lessor, a lender with a security interest in the Premises
     identified to Lessee by Lessor, as additional insureds by endorsement to
     policy to the extent of the full replacement cost of the Premises,

     f. shall provide the insurance proceeds are payable to Lessor,

     g. shall provide that Lessee assumes responsibilities of Lessor in Section
     19 with regard to maintaining insurance.

7. ABANDONMENT: Lessee shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the term; and if Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises,
or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property
belonging to Lessee and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at
the option of Lessor.  Notwithstanding the above, the Premises shall not be
considered vacated or abandoned if Lessee maintains the Premises in good
condition, provides security and is not in Default.

8. FREE FROM LIENS: Lessee shall keep the subject Premises and the property in
which the subject Premises are situated, free from any and all liens including
but not limited to liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished,
or obligations incurred by Lessee.  However, the Lessor shall allow Lessee to
contest a lien claim, so long as the claim is discharged prior to any
foreclosure proceeding being initiated against the property and provided Lessee
provides Lessor a bond if the lien exceeds $5,000.
 
9. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS: Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Local, Municipal, State and
Federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining
to Lessee's use and occupancy of the said Premises, and shall faithfully observe
in the use of the Premises all Local and Municipal ordinances and State and
Federal statutes now in force or which may hereafter be in force. 
Notwithstanding the obligations to comply with governmental regulations imposed
on Lessee by this Section 9, if any single addition, repair or replacement for
which Lessee would otherwise be responsible under this Section 9 would cost more
than $15,000 and such addition, repair or replacement is not required as a
result of Lessee's particular use of the Premises, then Lessor shall make and
pay for such addition, repair or replacement and the total cost shall be
amortized (calculated in terms of months) over the estimated useful life of the
repair or replacement item, not to exceed 12 years, at Wells Fargo prime rate
plus one percent (1%), and Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount so derived
during each month occurring in the remaining Lease term and any extension
thereof.

10. LESSEE'S INSURANCE: Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to be 
rendered to Lessor, hereby waives all claims against Lessor and Lessor's 
Agents for damages to goods, wares and merchandise, and all other personal 
property in, upon or about said Premises, including loss of use, and for 
injuries to persons in, upon or about said Premises, from any cause arising 
at any time, and Lessee will hold Lessor and Lessor's Agents exempt and 
harmless from any damage or injury to any person, or to the goods, wares and 
merchandise and all other personal property of any person, arising from the 
use or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, or from the failure of Lessee to 
keep the Premises in good condition and repair, as herein provided.  Lessee 
shall secure and keep in force a standard policy of general liability 
insurance and property damage policy covering the Leased Premises, including 
parking areas, insuring the Lessee.  A certificate of said policy naming 
Lessor as an additional insured shall be delivered to Lessor and will have a 
combined single limit for both bodily injury, death and property damage in an 
amount not less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00).  Lessee shall 
obtain a written obligation on the part of the insurer to notify Lessor

PAGE 24
<PAGE>

30 days in advance in writing before any cancellation thereof.  Lessee shall 
obtain, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a policy of fire and extended 
coverage insurance including coverage for direct physical loss special form, 
and a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal property of the 
Lessee. The proceeds from any property damage policy shall be payable to 
Lessee.  Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all of the 
insurance requirements of all Local, Municipal, State and Federal authorities 
now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to Lessee's use 
and occupancy of the said Premises.  The provisions of this Section 10, shall 
not apply to any injury caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct 
of Lessor or Lessor's Agents.

11. ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS: Lessee will not place or permit to be placed, 
in, upon or about the Premises any unusual or extraordinary signs, or any 
signs not approved by the city, local, state, federal or other applicable 
governing authority. The Lessee will not place, or permit to be placed upon 
the Premises, any signs, advertisements or notices without the written 
consent of the Lessor, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  
A sign so placed on the Premises shall be so placed upon the understanding 
and agreement that Lessee will remove same at the Termination of this Lease 
and repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, and if not so 
removed by Lessee, then Lessor may have the same removed at Lessee's expense. 
 Subject to the provisions above, Lessor hereby consents to the placement of 
signage on the building as well as a monument sign at the entrance.

12. UTILITIES: Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, 
telephone and other utilities supplied to the Premises.  Any charges for 
sewer usage or related fees shall be the obligation of Lessee and paid for by 
Lessee.

13. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In case suit should be brought for the possession of the
Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, or because of the breach of
any other covenant herein, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party
reasonable attorney's fees which shall be deemed to have accrued on the
commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action
is prosecuted to judgment.  In addition to the above, if any party hereto
secures a judgment in any legal action or proceeding brought to enforce or
interpret any provision of this Lease, or to protect or establish any right or
remedy hereunder, then any costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and
costs, incurred by such party in enforcing such judgment shall be recoverable
separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment. 
This Section 13 is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this
Lease, and shall survive and not be merged into any such judgment.

14.1 DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
"Default" and breach of this Lease by Lessee: a) Any failure by Lessee to pay
Rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when
due if not cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to
Lessee; b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Lessee except as
provided in Section 7; c) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other
provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such
failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to
Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of such Default is such that the
same cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) 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; d) The
making by Lessee of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the
filing by or against Lessee of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or
of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to
bankruptcy which petition is not discharged within 60 days; e) the appointment
of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's
assets or Lessee's interest in this Lease, or 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 unless such appointment or attachment be
dissolved within 60 days.

14.2 SURRENDER OF LEASE: In the event of any such Default by Lessee, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor
shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee
hereunder, by giving written notice of such intention to terminate.  In the
event that Lessor terminates this Lease due to a Default of Lessee, then Lessor
may recover from Lessee: a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent
which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus b) the worth at the
time of award of unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination
until the time of award exceeding the amount of such rental loss; plus c) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss; plus d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the
detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform his obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom; and e) at Lessor's election, such other

PAGE 25
<PAGE>

amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time
to time by applicable California law.  As used in (a), (b) and (c) above, the
"worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of
Wells Fargo's prime rate plus two (2%) percent per annum.  

14.3 RIGHT OF ENTRY AND REMOVAL: In the event of any such Default by Lessee, 
Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to 
re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; 
such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at 
the cost of and for the account of Lessee.

14.4 ABANDONMENT: In the event of the vacation or abandonment, except as
provided in Section 7, of the Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor
shall elect to re-enter as provided in paragraph 14.3 above or shall take
possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any
notice provided by law, then if  Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease
as provided in paragraph 14.2 above, this Lease shall continue in effect for so
long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may
enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including without
limitation the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.  Acts of
maintenance, or preservation, efforts to relet the Leased Premises, or the
appointment of a receiver upon initiative of the Lessor to protect Lessor's
interest in the Lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to
possession.

14.5 NO IMPLIED TERMINATION: No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by
Lessor pursuant to 14.3 or 14.4 of this Article 14 shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless (i) a written notice of such intention
is given to Lessee, (ii) Lessee's right to possession of the Premises is
terminated, or (iii)  the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction.  

15. SURRENDER OF LEASE: The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or sub tenancies,
or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to him of any or all
such subleases or sub tenancies.

16. TAXES: Lessee shall pay and discharge punctually and when the same shall
become due and payable without penalty, all real estate taxes, personal property
taxes, taxes based on vehicles utilizing parking areas in the Premises, taxes
computed or based on rental income (other than federal, state and municipal net
income taxes), Environmental Surcharges, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business
and occupation taxes, school fees or surcharges, gross receipts taxes, sales
and/or use taxes, employee taxes, occupational license taxes, water and sewer
taxes, assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public
improvements or benefit), and all other governmental impositions and charges of
every kind and nature whatsoever, regardless of whether now customary or within
the contemplation of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from
increased rate and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general
or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called "Tax" or
"Taxes") which, at any time during the Lease term, shall be applicable or
against the Premises, or shall become due and payable and a lien or charge upon
the Premises under or by virtue of any present or future laws, statutes,
ordinances, regulations, or other requirements of any governmental authority
whatsoever.  The term "Environmental Surcharge" shall include any and all
expenses, taxes, charges or penalties imposed by the Federal Department of
Energy, Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Clean Air Act, or
any regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other local, state or federal
governmental agency or entity now or hereafter vested with the power to impose
taxes, assessments or other types of surcharges as a means of controlling or
abating environmental pollution or the use of energy (i) generally imposed on
similar properties in a wide geographic area without regard to whether the
properties subject to the tax are contaminated by Hazardous Materials and which
is part of a comprehensive plan imposed by a governmental unit or (ii) imposed
with respect to the Premises as the result of the presence of Hazardous
Materials for which Lessee is required to indemnify Lessor under Section 33.4
below or to undertake remediation pursuant to Section 33.5 below.  .  The term
"Tax" shall include, without limitation, all taxes, assessments, levies, fees,
impositions or charges levied, imposed, assessed, measured, or based in any
manner whatsoever (i) in whole or in part on the Rent payable by Lessee under
this Lease, (ii) upon or with respect to the use, possession, occupancy,
leasing, operation or management of the Premises, (iii) upon this transaction or
any document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises, (iv) upon Lessee's business operations conducted at
the Premises, (v) upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or
value of Lessee's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property
located on the Premises or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made
in or to the Premises by or for Lessee, regardless of whether title to such
improvements shall be in Lessor or

PAGE 26
<PAGE>

Lessee, or (vi) in lieu of or equivalent to any Tax set forth in this Section
16.  In the event any such Taxes are payable by Lessor and it shall not be
lawful for Lessee to reimburse Lessor for such Taxes, then the Rent payable
thereunder shall be increased to net Lessor the same net rent after imposition
of any such Tax upon Lessor as would have been payable to Lessor prior to the
imposition of any such Tax.  It is the intention of the parties that Lessor
shall be free from all such Taxes and all other governmental impositions and 
charges of every kind and nature whatsoever.  However, nothing contained in this
Section 16 shall require Lessee to pay any Federal or State income, franchise,
estate, inheritance, succession, transfer or excess profits tax imposed upon
Lessor. If any general or special assessment is levied and assessed against the
Premises, Lessor agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to cause the
assessment to become a lien on the Premises securing repayment of a bond sold to
finance the improvements to which the assessment relates which is payable in
installments of principal and interest over the maximum term allowed by law.  It
is understood and agreed that Lessee's obligation under this paragraph will be
prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and Termination Date of this Lease.  
Notwithstanding the above, Lessee shall not be responsible for increases in real
property taxes during the initial term of the Lease if such increase is the sole
result of a change in ownership of the Premises by Lessor to other than Lessee
(Transfers to corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities controlled by
the Berg family exempted).

Subject to any limitations or restrictions imposed by any deeds of trust or
mortgages now or hereafter covering or affecting the Premises, Lessee shall have
the right to contest or review the amount or validity of any Tax by appropriate
legal proceedings but which is not to be deemed or construed in any way as
relieving, modifying or extending Lessee's covenant to pay such Tax at the time
and in the manner as provided in this Section 16.  However, as a condition of
Lessee's right to contest, if such contested Tax is not paid before such contest
and if the legal proceedings shall not operate to prevent or stay the collection
of the Tax so contested, Lessee shall, before instituting any such proceeding,
protect the Premises and the interest of Lessor and of the beneficiary of a deed
of trust or the mortgagee of a mortgage affecting the Premises against any lien
upon the Premises by a surety bond, issued by an insurance company acceptable to
Lessor and in an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the amount
contested or, at Lessor's option, the amount of the contested Tax and the
interest and penalties in connection therewith.  Any contest as to the validity
or amount of any Tax, whether before or after payment, shall be made by Lessee
in Lessee's own name, or if required by law, in the name of Lessor or both
Lessor and Lessee.  Lessee shall defend, indemnify  and hold harmless Lessor
from and against any and all costs or expenses, including attorneys' fees, in
connection with any such proceedings brought by Lessee, whether in its own name
or not. Lessee shall be entitled to retain any refund of any such contested Tax
and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as affecting or limiting Lessor's right to
contest any Tax at Lessor's expense.

17. NOTICES: Unless otherwise provided for in this Lease, any and all written
notices or other communication (the "Communication") to be given in connection
with this Lease shall be given in writing and shall be given by personal

PAGE 27
<PAGE>

transmission, on the day on which it was transmitted provided such day is a
business day, failing which, on the next business day thereafter.  

18. ENTRY BY LESSOR: Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter into and
upon said Premises at all reasonable times using the minimum amount of
interference and inconvenience to Lessee and Lessee's business, subject to any
security regulations of Lessee, for the purpose of inspecting the same or for
the purpose of maintaining the building in which said Premises are situated, or
for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to any other portion
of said building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding,
canopies, fences and props as may be required, without any rebate of Rent and
without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of
the Premises; and shall permit Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety
(90) days prior to the Expiration of this Lease, to place upon said Premises any
usual or ordinary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to
prospective tenants at reasonable hours.

19. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event of a partial destruction of the said
Premises during the said term of this Lease from any cause which is covered by
Section 6's property insurance, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided
such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days under the laws and regulations
of State, Federal, County, or Municipal authorities, but such partial
destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall
be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being
made to the extent of payments received by Lessor under its Loss of Rents
Insurance coverage.  With respect to any partial destruction which Lessor is
obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph,
the provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision
4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by Lessee.  In the
event that the building in which the subject Premises may be situated is
destroyed to an extent greater than thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3%) of the
replacement cost thereof, Lessor may within ten (10) days of such occurrence, at
its sole option, elect to terminate this Lease, whether the subject Premises are
injured or not.  A total destruction of the building in which the subject
Premises are situated shall terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above,
Lessor is only obligated to repair or rebuild to the extent of the total of
available insurance proceeds ("Available Insurance Proceeds") including (i) any
"deductible" amount and (ii) any insurance proceeds which would ordinarily have
been available had Lessor fulfilled its obligation to carry the hazard insurance
specified in Section 6 unless Lessor had previously notified Lessee in writing
that such required hazard insurance was not commercially available, in which
case insurance proceeds which would have been available if Lessor had carrier
such commercially unavailable insurance shall not be included as Available
Insurance Proceeds hereunder.  If the deductible exceeds $5,000, Lessee's
deductible obligation, but is less than $100,000, then Lessor shall fund the
amount in excess of $5,000.  The deductible amount funded by Lessor, if any,
shall be amortized over 20 years at Wells Fargo prime rate plus one percent
(1%), and Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amortized cost on a monthly basis over
the remaining Lease term and any extensions thereof.  Should Lessor reasonably
determine that insufficient or no Available Insurance Proceeds are available for
repair or reconstruction of Premises, Lessor, at its sole option, may terminate
the Lease provided that Lessee shall have the option of continuing this Lease
by agreeing to pay all repair costs to the subject Premises in excess of the
Available Insurance Proceeds.  If Lessor reasonably determines that such repairs
will require more than 180 days to complete, Lessor shall so notify Lessee
within 10 days following the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and
either Lessor or Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the
other party within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of such notice.

20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any
interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or any part thereof, or
any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or cause any other person or entity
(a bona fide subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the
said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the advance written consent of
Lessor which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any such assignment
or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of
the Lessor, terminate this Lease.  This Lease shall not, or shall any interest
therein, be assignable, as to the interest of Lessee, by operation of law,
without the written consent of Lessor.  If Lessee desires to assign its rights
under this Lease or to sublet all or a portion of the subject Premises to a
party other than a bona fide subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee, Lessee shall;
first notify Lessor of the proposed terms and conditions of such assignment or
subletting.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee
may, without Lessor's prior written consent, and without participation by Lessor
in assignment and subletting proceeds, sublet or assign the Lease to (i) a
subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlled or under common
control with Lessee, (ii) a successor corporation related to Lessee by merger,
consolidation, non bankruptcy reorganization or government action, (iii) a
purchaser of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises
(collectively, "Permitted Transfers"; individually "Permitted Transfer"). 
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, the sale or
transfer of Lessee's capital stock, including, without limitation, a transfer in
connection

PAGE 28
<PAGE>

with the merger, consolidation or nonbankruptcy reorganization of Lessee and any
sale through any public exchange, shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting
or any other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.  Whether or not Lessor's
consent to a sublease or assignment is required, in the event of any sublease or
assignment, Lessee shall be and remain primarily liable for the performance of
all conditions, covenants, and obligations of Lessee hereunder and, in the event
of a Default by an assignee or sublessee, Lessor may proceed directly against
the original Lessee hereunder and/or any other predecessor of such assignee or
sublessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or
sublessee.

21. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private
purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of
occupation hereunder, this Lease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of
the date title vests in the condemnor or purchaser, and the Rent payable
hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the
remainder of the term only that portion of Rent as the value of the part
remaining.  The rental adjustment resulting will be computed at the same Rental
rate for the remaining part not taken; however, Lessor shall have the option to
terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the
condemnor or purchaser.  If all of the Premises, or such part thereof be taken
so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder or
if such a part thereof is taken that Lessee's contemplated use of the Premises
is materially and adversely affected, this Lease shall thereupon terminate.  If
a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such
taking shall be payable to the Lessor.  Lessee shall be entitled to file its own
claim based on tenant improvements Lessee is entitled to remove at termination
of the Lease, the unamortized value of such improvements installed at Lessee's
expense which are not removable and Lessee's moving costs.

22. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE: The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease, means only
the owner for the time being of the land and building constituting the Premises,
so that, in the event of any sale of said land or building, or in the event of a
Lease of said building, the Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder, and it shall
be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the
purchaser of any such sale, or the Lessor of the building, that the purchaser or
lessee of the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants
and obligations of the Lessor hereunder provided that such purchaser or lessee
has assumed Lessor's obligations in a writing reasonably acceptable to Lessee. 
If any security is given by the Lessee to secure the faithful performance of all
or any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of Lessee, the Lessor may
transfer and deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser at any such sale or
sale of the Lessee of the building, and thereupon the Lessor shall be discharged
from any further liability.

23. SUBORDINATION: In the event Lessor notifies Lessee in writing, the Lease
shall be subordinate to any ground Lease, deed of trust, or other hypothecation
for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property at which the
Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and
to renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees
to promptly execute any documents which may be required to effectuate such
subordination.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessor shall obtain from the holder
of any encumbrance against all or any part of the Premises a nondisturbance
agreement for the benefit of Lessee in form reasonably acceptable to Lessee. 
Lessee shall not be required to subordinate its leasehold interest to any deed
of trust placed on the Premises in the future unless the holder of any such deed
of trust executes a subordination, nondisturbance, recognition and attornment
agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Lessee, which does not materially
adversely affect Lessee's rights under the Lease or increase Lessee's
obligations under the Lease.

24. WAIVER: The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition, herein contained shall not be construed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition therein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lessee's breach of any
term, covenant, or condition of the Lease.

25. HOLDING OVER: Any holding over after the Termination or Expiration of the
said term shall be construed to be a hold over tenancy from month to month.  In
addition to the liabilities and obligations provided for herein, including but
not limited to in Section 2.1, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Rent equal to one and
one-fourth (1.25) times the monthly base rent installment due in the month
preceding the Termination or Expiration of the Lease and all other additional
rent and all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply, so far as
applicable.  No holding over shall be deemed or construed to exercise any option
to extend or renew this Lease in lieu of full and timely exercise of any such
option as required hereunder.

26. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The covenants and conditions herein contained shall,
subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto;
and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Each party shall at any time during the term of this
Lease, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from the other,
execute and deliver to the other a statement in writing certifying that, this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification) and the dates to which the Rent and other charges
have been paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to such
party's knowledge, any uncured Defaults on the part of the other party hereunder
or specifying such Defaults if they are claimed.  Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Premises.  A party's  failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall
be conclusive upon the other that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the other party and (b)
there are no uncured Defaults in performance.

28. TIME: Time is of the essence of the Lease.

29. CAPTIONS: The headings on titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not a
part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part thereof.  This instrument contains all of the
agreements and conditions made between the parties hereto and may not be
modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by
all of the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

30. PARTY NAMES: Landlord and Tenant may be used in various places in this Lease
as a substitute for Lessor and Lessee respectively.

31. EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE: As a condition of Lessor agreeing to waive the
requirement for earthquake insurance, Lessee agrees that it will pay, as
additional Rent, an amount not to exceed sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) per
year for earthquake insurance if Lessor desires to obtain some form of
earthquake insurance in the future, if and when available, on terms acceptable
to Lessor.

32. HABITUAL DEFAULT: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 14 herein, Lessor and Lessee agree that if the Lessee shall have
committed a Default in the payment of Rent for three or more times during any
twelve month period during the term hereof, then such conduct shall, at the
option of the Lessor, represent a separate event of Default which cannot be
cured by Lessee.  Lessee acknowledges that the purpose of this provision is to
prevent repetitive Defaults by the Lessee under the Lease, which constitute a
hardship to the Lessor and deprive the Lessor of the timely performance by the
Lessee hereunder.

parties as herein provided; neither party shall have any greater or different
obligations and no lesser or different rights from those set forth in this

                                      LEASE

THIS LEASE, executed in duplicate as of the 14th day of September, 1973, between
JOHN A.  SOBRATO and SUSAN R.  SOBRATO,  as to an undivided  forty-five  percent

to wit: that property which is preliminarily  shown as Site I on Parcel 1 of the
map attached  hereto as Exhibit "A, " and made a part hereof,  the precise legal
description of said premises to be attached hereto as part of Exhibit "A" within
sixty (60) days of the date hereof, said legal description to be satisfactory to
Lessee,  together with the improvements consisting of four (4) buildings with an
aggregate of approximately two hundred thousand (200,000) enclosed, gross square
feet which are to he  constructed  on the  premises by Lessor's  contractors  in
accordance with the specifications and requirements ("Plans") prepared by Lessee
and approved by Lessor, which Plans are attached hereto as Exhibit "B," and made
a part hereof.

This lease  shall not  become  effective  and the lease term shall not  commence
unless and until the four (4) buildings, consisting of approximately two hundred
thousand (200,000) enclosed, gross square feet, are Fully Complete and Ready for
Occupancy . If such  buildings are not Fully Complete and Ready for Occupancy by
July 1, 1974  (extended  by the length of a delay,  if any,  directly  caused by
strikes,  acts of God or by any other cause which is both beyond the  reasonable
control of Lessor and not now reasonably foreseeable by Lessor),  Lessee, at its
option,  shall have no obligation to become bound under this lease. Lessee shall
also have the right to cancel this lease if the  landscaping  relating to Site I
or any remaining  work on the building  exteriors is not completed in accordance
with all of the  applicable  Plans within sixty (60) days after such,  buildings
are Fully  Complete and Ready for  Occupancy or if the  required  attachment  to
Exhibit  "A" hereto has not been  attached  within the time  prescribed  herein.
"Fully  Complete  and  Ready  for  Occupancy"  shall  mean  that  all  necessary
governmental approvals, permits, consents and certificates have been obtained by
or for Lessor for the lawful  construction,  and  occupancy  by Lessee,  of said
premises and improvements,  all of the building  interiors fully meet all of the
applicable  Plans,  all  of  the  building  exteriors   substantially  meet  the
applicable Plans, including paved parking areas, and said building interiors are
in "broomclean" finished condition.

The term shall be for twenty  (20)  years,  subject to the  renewal  options set
forth in  Paragraph  34 hereof.  Unless  Lessee has  theretofore  elected not to
become bound under this lease, as provided hereinabove,  the term shall commence
when the four (4) buildings are Fully Complete and Ready for Occupancy,  subject
to cancellation as set forth above,  but shall not commence in any event earlier
than  April  1,  1974,  unless  Amdahl,  at its  option,  elects  to take  early
possession of all or part of Site I in which event rent shall be prorated on the
basis of space occupied for the time of such early  possession.  Rental shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America,  which Lessee agrees to
pay to Lessor without deduction, setoff or demand at 2775 Middlefield Road, Palo
Alto,  California 94303, or such place or places as may be designated in writing
from time to time by Lessor, in advance, in installments as follows:  The rental
shall be  forty-eight  thousand  five  hundred  dollars  ($48,500.00)  per month
payable on the 1st day of each calendar month  throughout the term of this lease
(subject to the increases at ten (10) year  intervals  provided for in Paragraph
35 hereof),  said amount  being  subject to  finalization  by Lessor and Lessee,
which finalization shall, in all probability,  result in an increase or decrease
based upon Lessor's actual "Costs" of the premises and improvements.

It is further  mutually  agreed  between  the parties as  follows:  1.  SECURITY
DEPOSIT.  Lessee shall deposit with Lessor,  concurrent with the commencement of
construction  (i.e.,  "ground breaking") of the improvements  called for by this
lease,  a  security   deposit  in  the  amount  of  seventy   thousand   dollars
($70,000.00),  for the full and  faithful  performance  of each and every  term,
covenant and condition of this lease.  In the event Lessee has performed all the
terms,  covenants and conditions of this lease  throughout the term, upon Lessee
vacating the premises,  said security  deposit shall be returned to Lessee after
first  deducting any sums owing to Lessor.  If Lessee elects not to become bound
under this lease, or cancels this lease, as provided hereinabove, said sum shall
likewise be  returned.  If this lease be otherwise  terminated  for reason other
than default by Lessee, said sum shall likewise be returned. Said sum shall also

the first month of the said term. Any such early taking of possession  shall not

Complete  and  Ready  for  Occupancy  and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of
Lessee's rights hereunder.

      any  costs and  expenses  of such  reletting  and of such  alteration  and
      repair;  third,  to  payment of rent due and unpaid  hereunder;  and,  the
      residue,  if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future
      rent as may become due and payable hereunder.  If Lessee has been credited
      with any rent to be received for reletting under Option (i), and such rent
      shall not be  promptly  paid to Lessor by new Lessee,  or if such  rentals
      received  from such  reletting  under Option (ii) during any month be less
      than paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such
      deficiency  to  Lessor.  Such  deficiency  shall  be  calculated  and paid
      monthly.

      PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the  Lessor  does  not  relet  said  premises
      himself,  then Lessee may sublet or assign his  interest in the lease,  or
      both, pursuant to paragraph 8 hereunder.

      Any  reasonable  expenses  incurred for  renovation  and alteration of the
      premises in order to put said  premises in condition  for occupancy by the
      assignee or sublessee of Lessee, shall be borne by Lessee.

      C.  TERMINATION OF THE LEASE PURSUANT TO SECTION 1951.2 OF THE CIVIL CODE.
      Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,  Lessor may at any
      time  thereafter  elect to  terminate  this  lease  for any such  previous
      breach.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this lease for any breach, in
      addition to any other remedy he may have,  he may recover from Lessee,  at
      the time of award, any and all of the following damages:

           (i) All  unpaid  rent up to the time of  termination,  plus  interest
           thereon at the legal rate.

           (ii)  Between  the date of  termination  and the date of  award,  the
           difference between the unpaid rent and the amount of such rental loss
           that the Lessee proves  Lessor could  reasonably  have avoided,  plus
           interest thereon at the legal rate.

           (iii) The  discounted  present  value of the  difference  between the
           unpaid  rent for the  balance  of the term  after  the  award and the
           amount of such  rental loss the Lessee  proves the Lessor  could have
           reasonably  avoided.  The discount  rate shall be the prime  interest
           rate of the Federal  Reserve Bank of San Francisco,  plus one percent
           (1%).

      All of these  amounts  shall be  immediately  due and  payable  at date of
      award, from the Lessee to Lessor.

      In  addition  to the  amounts  recovered  for damages for loss of past and
      future rents,  Lessor shall be entitled to recover reasonable  expenses in
      retaking the property,  in making repairs Lessee was obligated to make, in
      preparing the property for reletting,  and in reletting the property,  and
      other such damages as necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment
      caused by Lessee,  including,  but not  limited  to,  breaches of specific
      covenants  of the lease such as the promise to maintain and the promise to
      restore the premises on termination.

12.  RECEIVERSHIP.  If a receiver be  appointed at the instance of Lessor in any
action against Lessee to take  possession of said premises and/or to collect the
rents or profits  derived  therefrom,  the  receiver  may, if it be necessary or
convenient  in order to collect such rents and profits,  conduct the business of
Lessee then being  carried on in said  premises and may take  possession  of any
personal property  belonging to Lessee and used in the conduct of such business,
and  may use the  same in  conducting  such  business  on the  premises  without
compensation to Lessee for such use. Neither the application for the appointment
of such receiver, nor the appointment of such a receiver,  shall be construed as
an election on Lessor's part to terminate  this lease unless a written notice of
such intention is given to Lessee by Lessor.

13.  SURRENDER  OF LEASE.  The  voluntary  or other  surrender  of this lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
the option of Lessor,  terminate all or any existing  subleases or subtenancies,
or may, at the option of Lessor,  operate as an  assignment  to Lessor of any or
all such subleases or subtenancies.

14. LITIGATION EXPENSES. If either party shall bring an action against the other
by reason of the  breach of any  covenant,  warranty  or  condition  hereof,  or
otherwise  arising out of this lease,  whether for  declaratory or other relief,
the  prevailing  party in such suit shall be  entitled  to its costs of suit and
reasonable  attorney fees,  which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.  Prevailing  party within the meaning of this  paragraph
shall  include,  without  limitation,  a party who brings an action  against the
other after the other's  default,  ii such action is dismissed  upon the other's
payment of the sums  allegedly due or  performance  of the  covenants  allegedly
breached,  or if the plaintiff or  cross-complainant  obtains  substantially the
relief sought by it in the action.

15. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all the water, sewage, fuel, gas, oil, heat,
electricity,   telephone,   janitorial,  landscape  maintenance  and  all  other
materials  and  services  which  may be  furnished  to or used in or about  said
premises during the term of this lease.

16. LIENS. Lessee shall keep the premises and building of which the premises are
a part free and clear of any liens and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Lessor  from any liens and  encumbrances  arising out of any work  performed  or
materials  furnished by or at the direction of Lessee.  In the event any lien is
filed,  Lessee shall do all acts  necessary to discharge  any lien within thirty
(30) days of filing, or if Lessee desires to contest any lien, then Lessee shall
deposit  with Lessor one and one-half  (1-1/2)  times the amount of said lien as
security for the payment of said lien claim.

17.  TAXATION.  In addition to all other payments  herein provided to be made by
Lessee and as additional rental hereunder,  Lessee agrees to pay at least twenty
(20) days before  delinquency  all real property  taxes and special  assessments
which  have  become  or may  become a lien  upon the  demised  premises  (or are
otherwise imposed or assessed on the demised premises) or any portion thereof or
upon improvements  thereon or improvements added thereto during the term of this
lease. If Lessee fails to pay such taxes and/or assessments,  in addition to all
other remedies Lessor has herein,  Lessor shall have the right to pay any or all
of such taxes and/or  assessments  and to recover  reimbursement  therefor  from
Lessee. Taxes and assessments for the year in which this lease commences and for
the year in which it terminates shall be equitably  prorated.  Lessee shall have
the right to contest any assessment or tax, and in the event that Lessee decides
to attempt such contest,  Lessor shall  provide  documents  that are  reasonably
necessary  to that end . Lessee  shall be liable  for all taxes  levied  against
personal property, inventory and trade fixtures.

18. USES PROHIBITED.  Lessee shall not use, or permit said premises, or any part
thereof,  to be used,  for any  purpose or  purposes  other than the  purpose or
purposes for which the said premises are hereby leased; and no use shall be made
or permitted to be made of the said premises, nor acts done, which will increase
the existing  rate of insurance  upon the building in which said premises may be
located, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said building,
or any part thereof,  nor shall Lessee sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold,
in or about said  premises,  any article which may be prohibited by the standard
form of fire  insurance  policies.  Lessee  shall,  at  Lessee's  sole  cost and
expense,  comply with any and all requirements,  pertaining to said premises, of
any  insurance  organization  or  company,  necessary  for  the  maintenance  of
reasonable  fire and public  liability  insurance,  covering  said  building and
appurtenances.

19. INSURANCE. Lessee shall maintain comprehensive public liability, plate glass
and property damage insurance to protect against any liability to the public, or
to any employee, agent or invitee of Lessee or Lessor, incident to the use of or
resulting from any accident  occurring in or about the premises,  with limits of
liability of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for injury to one
person, two million dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  for injury to two or more persons,
and five  hundred  thousand  dollars  ($500,000.00)  for  property  damage.  All
policies of insurance provided for herein shall:

the State of California,  and rated "AAA" or better in Best's Insurance Reports,
or as specifically otherwise accepted by Lessor by written consent:

(b) Be written as primary policies of insurance and not contributing  with or in
excess of any coverage which Lessor may carry, and cover, insure and name Lessor
as an additional assured;

(c) Contain an endorsement  requiring thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessor
prior to cancellation or any change in coverage.

During the term of this lease,  Lessee, at its expense,  shall maintain in force
insurance  against loss or damage by fire to the  improvements  located upon the
leased  premises in the  initial  amount of four  million  seven  hundred  fifty
thousand  dollars  ($4,750,000.00),  with  extended and  vandalism  coverage and
special  extended  perils ("all risk"),  which amount may be increased in future
years based upon possible bona fide  appraised  increases in  replacement  cost.
However, Lessee need not purchase insurance covering damage due to earthquake.

Such  insurance  shall be  procured  from a  responsible  insurance  company  or
companies  authorized  to do  business  in  California,  and in form  reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor or any  encumbrancer,  as their  respective  interest may
appear,  and the  policies  evidencing  such  insurance  may be endorsed  with a
mortgagee's loss payable  endorsement in standard form and shall be delivered to
Lessor  (and kept by Lessor or  encumbrancer),  and  renewals  thereof  shall be
delivered  by  Lessee  to  Lessor  at  least  thirty  (30)  days  prior to their
respective  expiration  dates and  shall be kept by Lessor or any  encumbrancer.
Lessor shall be named as additional insured on said policies which shall provide
that Lessor be given  thirty (30) days' notice of any  nonpayment  of premium or
cancellation.

20. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and Federal
authorities  now in force,  or which may  hereafter be in force,  pertaining  to
Lessee's occupancy in connection with the premises.

21. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE. If Lessor is not in default of any of his obligations
hereunder,  the term "Lessor" as used in this lease means only the owner for the
time being of the land and buildings  containing  the premises,  so that, in the
event of any sale of said land and buildings, or in the event of a lease of said
buildings,  the Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all
covenants and  obligations of the Lessor  hereunder,  and it shall be deemed and
construed,  without further  agreement  between the parties and the purchaser of
any such sale or the Lessee of the  buildings,  that the  purchaser or Lessee of
the  buildings  has  assumed and agreed to carry out any and all  covenants  and
obligations of the Lessor  hereunder.  If any security be given by the Lessee to
secure the faithful  performance of all or any of the covenants of this lease on
the part of Lessee,  the Lessor may transfer and deliver the security,  as such,
to the purchaser at any such sale or the Lessee of the buildings,  and thereupon
the Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference  thereto,
if Lessor is not in default of any of his obligations hereunder.

22.  ADVERTISEMENTS  AND SIGNS.  Lessee shall not  inscribe,  paint or affix any
signs,  advertisements,  placecards  or awnings on the  exterior  or roof of the
premises or upon the entrance doors,  windows, or the sidewalk on or adjacent to
the  premises  without the prior  written  consent of Lessor.  Lessor  shall not
unreasonably withhold such consent. Any signs so placed on the premises shall be
so placed upon the  understanding  and agreement that Lessee will remove same at
expiration or  termination of this lease and will repair any damage or injury to
the premises  caused thereby,  and if not so removed by Lessee,  then Lessor may
remove it at Lessee's expense .

23. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. If any of the buildings on the premises are damaged
or destroyed by fire,  earthquake,  act of God, the elements or as the result of
faulty  construction  or design,  Lessee shall give immediate  notice thereof to
Lessor and the monthly rent due  hereunder  shall be  immediately  reduced by an
amount  equal  to the  amount  of rent  per  square  foot  to be paid  hereunder
multiplied by the number of unusable  square feet of floor space.  If Lessor has
not repaired the damage within one hundred  twenty (120) days,  either party may
terminate this lease.

24.  CONDEMNATION.  The word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this lease
shall mean the exercise of, or intent to exercise,  the power of eminent  domain
expressed by the condemnor in any writing as well as by the filing of any action
or  proceeding  for such  purpose,  by any  entity  having the right of power of
eminent domain, and shall include a voluntary sale by Lessor to any such entity,
either  under  threat of  condemnation  or while  condemnation  proceedings  are
pending  and  "condemnation"  shall  occur  upon the actual  physical  taking of
possession  by the  condemnor.  In the event the  demised  premises  or any part
thereof are condemned,  this lease shall terminate, and Lessor shall be entitled
to and shall  receive the total amount of any award made with  respect  thereto,
regardless  of whether the award is based on a single award or a separate  award
as between  Lessor and Lessee,  and, if and to the extent that any such award or
awards shall be made to Lessee or to any person,  firm or  corporation  claiming
through or under Lessee, Lessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor all of it's
right,  title and interest in and to any and all such awards.  No portion of any
such award or awards shall be paid to Lessee for any  so-called  bonus or excess
value of this lease by reason of the  relationship  between  the rental  payable
under this lease and the fair  rental for the  demised  premises  at the time of
condemnation.  The foregoing  notwithstanding,  Lessor shall turn over to Lessee
that  portion  of  any  such  award  received  by  Lessor   hereunder  which  is
attributable  to Lessee's  fixtures and equipment which are condemned as part of
the real  property but which Lessee would  otherwise be entitled to remove,  and
the appraisal of the court, or the condemning  entity if the condemnation is not
determined by a court,  of the amount of any such award  allocable to such items
shall be conclusive.  If total award be fixed by negotiation and be greater than
the condemning entity's appraisal, the portion attributable to Lessee's fixtures
and equipment aforesaid shall be the same proportion of the actual award as said
fixtures and equipment were of the entity's appraisal.

25.  WAIVER.  The  waiver  by Lessor of any  breach  of any  term,  covenant  or
condition  herein  contained  shall not be  deemed to be a waiver of such  term,
covenant or  condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition  therein  contained.  The  subsequent  acceptance  of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any  preceding  breach
by Lessee of any term,  covenant  or  condition  of this  lease,  other than the
failure  of  Lessee to pay the  particular  rental so  accepted,  regardless  of
Lessor's  knowledge of such  preceding  breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.

26.  SUBORDINATION.  The right of Lessee  under this lease shall he and they are
subject and  subordinate  at all times to a lien of a first deed of trust not to
exceed five million  dollars  ($5,000,000.00)  now or ever in force  against the
property of Lessor's  leasehold  estate and to all advances made or hereafter to
be made upon the  security  thereof,  and  Lessee  shall  execute  such  further
instruments subordinating this lease to the lien or liens of any such first deed
of  trust  not to  exceed  five  million  dollars  ($5,000,000.00)  as  shall be
requested by Lessor.  Lessee hereby  irrevocably  appoints Lessor as attorney in
fact for Lessee with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name
of Lessee any such instrument or instruments if Lessee  unreasonably  refuses to
execute and deliver such instrument or instruments.

27. NOTICES. All notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing.

28. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, The covenants and agreements contained in this lease
shall be  binding  upon the  parties  hereto and upon  their  respective  heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all of the parties hereto
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

29.  REMEDIES  CUMULATIVE.  The remedies  available to Lessor under the terms of
this  agreement and in law or equity shall be cumulative and the exercise of one
remedy shall not constitute an election of remedies.

30 TIME. Time is of the essence of this lease.

31. CAPTIONS.  The captions in this lease are for convenience only and are not a
part  of this  lease  and do not in any way  limit  or  amplify  the  terms  and
provisions of this lease.

32. SPECIAL MAINTENANCE.  Lessee shall provide maintenance at least bimonthly to
all air conditioning  and heating  equipment and repair or replace any equipment
when  required,  including  the cost of  labor,  when not  covered  by  existing
warranties.  Lessee  to  supply  Lessor  with a copy  of  maintenance  agreement

unlimited  number of five (5) year terms,  commencing  on the  expiration of the
original  term,  by giving  notice to Lessor at least  ninety  (90) prior to the
expiration of the unexpired  term of Lessee  election to exercise this option to
renew.  The extended term shall be upon all the terms and  conditions  set forth
herein, including, but not limited to, Paragraph 35 hereof.

Lessor and not now  reasonably  foreseeable by Lessor),  Lessee,  at its option,
shall have no  obligation  to become  bound under this lease.  Lessee shall also

the same monthly rate as that  prescribed  for the first month of the said term,

Lease,  or any interest  therein,  and shall not sublet the said premises or any
part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other
person to occupy or use the said premises,  or any portion thereof,  without the
written  consent  of  Lessor  first  had  and  obtained,  and a  consent  to one
assignment,  subletting  occupation  or use by any  other  person,  shall not be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment,  subletting,  occupation or
use by another person.  Any such  assignment or subletting  without such consent
shall be void,  and shall,  at the option of the Lessor,  terminate  this Lease,

paragraph of this  paragraph 8, of this Lease,  if Lessee  desires to assign its
rights  under this Lease or to sublet all or a portion of the  premises,  Lessee
shall  first  notify  Lessor  of the  proposed  terms  and  conditions  of  such
assignment  or  subletting;  and Lessor shall have the right of first refusal to
enter  into a direct  lessor-lessee  relationship  with such  party  under  such
proposed  terms and  conditions,  in which event Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligations  hereunder to the extent of the lessor-lessee  relationship  entered
into between  Lessor and such third party;  provided  that Lessor shall not have
the above  right of first  refusal  if the term of the  proposed  assignment  or
sublease  including  options  to  extend is for a term not in excess of five (5)
years.

9. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR.  Lessee shall, during the term of this lease, save
harmless  Lessor  from any and all  loss,  damage,  claims of  damage,  demands,
obligations,  cause or causes of action,  or  liabilities  of any kind or nature
(including  reasonable costs of attorneys' fees if Lessor is made a party to any
action to which Lessee's indemnity runs hereunder), by reason of injury or death
of any person or persons or damage to any property of any kind and to whomsoever
belonging,  occurring  on the premises if caused by Lessee,  Lessee's  officers,
directors,  employees,  agents,  subtenants and assignees,  concessionaires  and
licensees,  except that Lessor  shall be liable to Lessee for damages  resulting
from the acts or willful omissions of Lessor or its employees or agents.  Lessor

receiver  mentioned  in  Paragraph  12  hereof)  to  take  possession  of all or
substantially all of the assets of Lessee, or (b) a general assignment by Lessee

      (c) Abandonment or vacation by tenant from the premises;

      (d) Except for a merger,  consolidation or a sale of substantially  all of

In the event of a default,  and in  addition  to all other  rights and  remedies
Lessor  may have at law,  Lessor  shall  have the option to do any or all of the
following:

      A. REENTRY.  Immediately  reenter and remove all persons and property from
      the  premises,  storing said  personal  property in a public  warehouse or
      elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. No such reentry or
      taking of  possession  of the  premises by Lessor shall be construed as an
      election on his part to terminate  this lease,  unless a written notice of
      such intention is given by the Lessor to Lessee or unless the  termination
      thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      B. WITHOUT  TERMINATION  OF THE LEASE  PURSUE THE REMEDY  PROVIDED BY THIS
      LEASE AND CIVIL CODE SECTION  1951.4.  Without  termination  of the lease,
      collect by suit or otherwise  each  installment of rent or other sum as it
      becomes due hereunder, or to enforce by suit or otherwise,  any other term
      or  provision  hereof  on the  part  of  Lessee  required  to be  kept  or
      performed,  it being specifically  agreed that all unpaid  installments of
      rent or other sums shall bear  interest at the highest legal rate from the
      due date thereof until paid.

      Without terminating the lease, Lessor shall relet the premises or any part
      thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term  extending  beyond
      the term of this  lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
      terms  and  conditions  as Lessor in his  reasonable  discretion  may deem
      advisable with the right to make  alterations and repairs to said premises
      necessary for reletting.  Upon such  reletting,  (i) Lessee is immediately
      liable to pay to Lessor,  in addition to any indebtedness  other than rent
      due  hereunder,  the  cost  and  expense  of  such  reletting,   including
      reasonable attorneys' fees and real estate commissions, and the amount, if
      any,  by which the rent  reserved  in this  lease for ,the  period of such
      reletting (up to but not beyond the term of the lease)  exceeds the amount
      agreed to be paid as rent by new Lessee for the demised  premises for such
      period on such reletting,  or (ii) at the option of Lessor,  rent received
      by Lessor  for such  reletting  shall be  applied  first to payment of any
      indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second,
      to payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting;  third, to payment
      of rent due and unpaid hereunder;  and, the residue, if any, shall be held
      by Lessor and  applied  in  payment  of future  rent as may become due and
      payable  hereunder.  If  Lessee  has  been  credited  with  any rent to be
      received  for  reletting  under  Option  (i),  and such rent  shall not be
      promptly  paid to Lessor by new Lessee,  or if such rentals  received from
      such reletting under Option (ii) during any month be less than paid during
      that month by Lessee  hereunder,  Lessee shall pay any such  deficiency to
      Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

      PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the  Lessor  does  not  relet  said  premises
      himself,  then Lessee may sublet or assign his  interest in the lease,  or
      both, pursuant to paragraph 8 hereunder.

      Any  reasonable  expenses  incurred for  renovation  and alteration of the
      premises in order to put said  premises in condition  for occupancy by the
      assignee or sublessee of Lessee, shall be borne by Lessee.

      C TERMINATION  OF THE LEASE  PURSUANT TO SECTION 1951.2 OF THE CIVIL CODE.
      Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,  Lessor may at any
      time  thereafter  elect to  terminate  this  lease  for any such  previous
      breach.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this lease for any breach, in
      addition to any other remedy he may have,  he may recover from Lessee,  at
      the time of award, any and all of the following damages:

           (i) All  unpaid  rent up to the time of  termination,  plus  interest
           thereon at the legal rate.

           (ii)  Between  the date of  termination  and the date of  award,  the
           difference between the unpaid rent and the amount of such rental loss
           that the Lessee proves  Lessor could  reasonably  have avoided,  plus
           interest thereon at the legal rate.

           (iii) The  discounted  present  value of the  difference  between the
           unpaid  rent for the  balance  of the term  after  the  award and the
           amount of such  rental loss the Lessee  proves the Lessor  could have
           reasonably  avoided.  The discount  rate shall be the prime  interest
           rate of the Federal  Reserve Bank of San Francisco,  plus one percent
           (1%).

      All of these  amounts  shall be  immediately  due and  payable  at date of
      award, from the Lessee to Lessor.

      In  addition  to the amount  recovered  for  damages  for loss of past and
      future rents,  Lessor shall be entitled to recover reasonable  expenses in
      retaking the property,  in making repairs Lessee was obligated to make, in
      preparing the property for reletting,  and in reletting the property,  and
      other such damages as necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment
      caused by Lessee,  including,  but not  limited  to,  breaches of specific
      covenants  of the lease such as the promise to maintain and the promise to
      restore the premises on termination.

12.  SURRENDER  OF LEASE.  The  voluntary  or other  surrender  of this lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall not
terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, but shall operate as an
assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

13. LITIGATION EXPENSES. If either party shall bring an action against the other
by reason of the  breach of any  covenant,  warranty  or  condition  hereof,  or
otherwise  arising out of this lease,  whether for  declaratory or other relief,
the  prevailing  party in such suit shall be  entitled  to its costs of suit and
reasonable  attorney fees,  which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.  Prevailing  party within the meaning of this  paragraph
shall  include,  without  limitation,  a party who brings an action  against the
other after the other's  default,  if such action is dismissed  upon the other's
payment of the sums  allegedly due or  performance  of the  covenants  allegedly
breached,  or if the plaintiff or  cross-complainant  obtains  substantially the
relief sought by it in the action.

14. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all the water, sewage, fuel, gas, oil, heat,
electricity,   telephone,   janitorial,  landscape  maintenance  and  all  other
materials  and  services  which  may be  furnished  to or used in or about  said
premises during the term of this lease.

15. LIENS. Lessee shall keep the premises and building of which the premises are
a part  free and clear of any liens  and  encumbrances  arising  out of any work
performed  or  materials  furnished  by or at the  direction of Lessee and shall
indemnify,  hold  harmless  and defend  Lessor  from any liens and  encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials  furnished by or at the direction
of  Lessee.  In the  event  any such  lien is  filed,  Lessee  shall do all acts
necessary to discharge any lien within thirty (30) days of filing,  or if Lessee
desires to contest any such lien,  then Lessee shall deposit with Lessor one and
one-half  (1-1/2)  times the amount of said lien as security  for the payment of
said lien claim.

16.  TAXATION.  In addition to all other payments  herein provided to be made by
Lessee and as additional  rental  hereunder,  Lessee agrees to pay to the County
tax  collector  prior  to  delinquency,  all real  property  taxes  and  special
assessments which have become or may become a lien upon the demised premises (or
are  otherwise  imposed or  assessed  on the  demised  premises)  or any portion
thereof or upon  improvements  thereon or improvements  added thereto during the
term of this lease,  provided that any said taxes and  assessment  shall be paid
over the  maximum  period  permitted  by law and Lessee  shall be liable on only
those  payments  due during the term  hereof.  If Lessee fails to pay such taxes
and/or assessments,  in addition to all other remedies Lessor has herein, Lessor
shall have the right to pay any or all of such taxes and/or  assessments  and to
recover  reimbursement  therefor from Lessee. Taxes and assessments for the year
in which this lease  commences and for the year in which it terminates  shall be
equitably  prorated.  Lessee shall have the right to contest any  assessment  or
tax, and in the event that Lessee decides to attempt such contest,  Lessor shall
provide  documents  that are reasonably  necessary to that end.  Lessee shall be
liable for all taxes  levied  against  personal  property,  inventory  and trade
fixtures. 17. USES PROHIBITED. Lessee shall not use, or permit said premises, or
any part thereof, to be used, for any purpose or purposes other than the purpose
or purposes for which the said premises are hereby  leased;  and no use shall be
made or permitted  to be made of the said  premises,  nor acts done,  which will
cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said building, or any part
thereof,  nor shall Lessee sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about
said premises,  any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire
insurance policies. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, comply with
any  and  all  requirements,  pertaining  to  said  premises,  of any  insurance
organization  or company,  necessary for the  maintenance of reasonable fire and
public liability insurance, covering said building and appurtenances.

18. INSURANCE. Lessee shall maintain comprehensive public liability, plate glass
and property damage insurance to protect against any liability to the public, or
so any employee, agent or invitee of Lessee or Lessor, incident to the use of or
resulting from any accident  occurring in or about the premises,  with limits of
liability of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for injury to one
person, two million dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  for injury to two or more persons,
and five  hundred  thousand  dollars  ($500,000.00)  for  property  damage.  All
policies of insurance provided for herein shall:

      (a) Be written in  companies  authorized  to do  business  in the State of
      California,  and rated "AAA" or better in Best's Insurance Reports,  or as
      specifically otherwise accepted by Lessor by written consent.

      (b) Be written as primary policies of insurance and not contributing  with
      or in excess of any coverage which Lessor may carry, and cover, insure and
      name Lessor as an additional assured;

      (c) Contain an endorsement  requiring  thirty (30) days' written notice to
      Lessor prior to cancellation or any change in coverage.

During the term of this lease,  Lessee, at its expense,  shall maintain in force
insurance  against loss or damage by fire to the  improvements  located upon the
leased  premises in the initial  amount of one million  eight  hundred  thousand
dollars  ($1,800,000.00),  with  extended  and  vandalism  coverage  and special
extended  perils  ("all  risk"),  which  amount may be increased in future years
based upon possible bona fide appraised  increases in replacement cost. However,
Lessee need not purchase insurance covering damage due to earthquake.

Such  insurance  shall be  procured  from a  responsible  insurance  company  or
companies  authorized  to do  business  in  California,  and in form  reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor or any  encumbrancer,  as their  respective  interest may
appear,  and the  policies  evidencing  such  insurance  may be endorsed  with a
mortgagee's loss payable  endorsement in standard form and shall be delivered to
Lessor  (and kept by Lessor or  encumbrancer),  and  renewals  thereof  shall be
delivered  by  Lessee  to  Lessor  at  least  thirty  (30)  days  prior to their
respective  expiration  dates and  shall be kept by Lessor or any  encumbrancer.
Lessor shall be named as additional insured on said policies which shall provide
that Lessor be given  thirty (30) days' notice of any  nonpayment  of premium or
cancellation.

Each party shall cause each insurance  policy obtained by it to provide that the
insurance  company  waives all right of recovery by way of  subrogation  against
either  party in  connection  with any  damage  covered  by any  policy.  If any
insurance  policy  cannot  be  obtained  with a  waiver  of  subrogation,  or is
obtainable  only by the  payment  of an  additional  premium  charge  above that
charged by insurance  companies  issuing policies without waiver of subrogation,
the party  undertaking  to obtain the insurance  shall notify the other party of
this fact. The other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after  receiving
the  notice  either to place the  insurance  with a company  that is  reasonably
satisfactory  to the other party that will carry the insurance  with a waiver of
subrogation,  or to  agree to pay the  additional  premium  if such a policy  is
obtainable at additional  cost. If the insurance cannot be obtained or the party
in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired  refuses to pay the additional
premium  charged,  the other  party is relieved  of the  obligation  to obtain a
waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance involved.

19. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and Federal
authorities now in force pertaining to Lessee's occupancy of the premises.

20. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE. If Lessor is not in default of any of his obligations
hereunder,  the term "Lessor" as used in this lease means only the owner for the
time being of the land and buildings  containing  the premises,  so that, in the
event of any sale of said land and buildings, or in the event of a lease of said
buildings,  the  transferring  Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely  freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder,  and it shall
be deemed and construed,  without further  agreement between the parties and the
purchaser of any such sale or the Lessee of the  buildings,  that the purchasing
Lessor  of the  buildings  has  assumed  and  agreed  to  carry  out any and all
covenants and obligations of the Lessor  hereunder.  If any security be given by
the Lessee to secure the faithful  performance of all or any of the covenants of
this lease on the part of Lessee,  the Lessor  shall  transfer  and  deliver the
security,  as such,  to the  purchaser  at any such  sale or the  Lessee  of the
buildings,  and  thereupon  the  Lessor  shall be  discharged  from any  further
liability  in  reference  thereto,  if  Lessor is not in  default  of any of his
obligations hereunder.

21.  ADVERTISEMENTS  AND SIGNS.  Lessee shall not  inscribe,  paint or affix any
signs,  advertisements,  placecards  or awnings on the  exterior  or roof of the
premises or upon the entrance doors,  windows, or the sidewalk on or adjacent to
the  premises  without the prior  written  consent of Lessor.  Lessor  shall not
unreasonably withhold such consent. Any signs so placed on the premises shall be
so placed upon the  understanding  and agreement that Lessee will remove same at
expiration or  termination of this lease and will repair any damage or injury to
the premises  caused thereby,  and if not so removed by Lessee,  then Lessor may
remove it at Lessee's expense.

22. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. If any of the buildings on the premises are damaged
or destroyed by fire,  earthquake,  act of God, the elements or as the result of
faulty  construction  or design,  Lessee shall give immediate  notice thereof to
Lessor and the monthly rent due  hereunder  shall be  immediately  reduced by an
amount  equal  to the  amount  of rent  per  square  foot  to be paid  hereunder
multiplied by the number of unusable  square feet of floor space.  If Lessor has
not repaired the damage within one hundred  twenty (120) days,  either party may
terminate this lease.

23.  CONDEMNATION.  The word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this lease
shall  mean  the  exercise  of the  power of  eminent  domain  expressed  by the
condemnor  in any  writing as well as by the filing of any action or  proceeding
for such purpose, by any entity having the right of power of eminent domain, and
shall include a voluntary sale by Lessor to any such entity, either under threat
of   condemnation   or  while   condemnation   proceedings   are  pending,   and
"condemnation"  shall  occur  upon  the  actual  taking  of  possession  by  the
condemnor.  In the event the demised premises or any part thereof are condemned,
this lease  shall  terminate,  and Lessor and  Lessee  shall be  entitled  their
respective  interests  in the  amount of any award  made with  respect  thereto,
regardless  of whether the award is based on a single award or a separate  award
as between Lessor and Lessee. A portion of such award or awards shall be paid to
Lessee for any  so-called  bonus or excess  value of this lease by reason of the
relationship between the rental payable under this lease and the fair rental for
the demised  premises  at the time of  condemnation.  Lessor  shall turn over to
Lessee  that  portion of any such award  received by Lessor  hereunder  which is
attributable  to Lessee's  fixtures and equipment which are condemned as part of
the real  property but which Lessee would  otherwise be entitled to remove,  and
the appraisal of the court, or the condemning  entity if the condemnation is not
determined by a court,  of the amount of any such award  allocable to such items
shall be conclusive.  If total award be fixed by negotiation and be greater than
the condemning entity's appraisal, the portion attributable to Lessee's fixtures
and equipment aforesaid shall be the same proportion of the actual award as said
fixtures and equipment were of the entity's appraisal.

24.  WAIVER.  The  waiver  by Lessor of any  breach  of any  term,  covenant  or
condition  herein  contained  shall not be  deemed to be a waiver of such  term,
covenant or  condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition  therein  contained.  The  subsequent  acceptance  of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any  preceding  breach
by Lessee of any term,  covenant  or  condition  of this  lease,  other than the
failure  of  Lessee to pay the  particular  rental so  accepted,  regardless  of
Lessor's  knowledge of such  preceding  breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.

25. SUBORDINATION. Notwithstanding any subordination of this lease, Lessee shall
have the right to quiet possession and shall not be disturbed by an successor in
interest to Lessor,  provided  Lessee is not in default  under this lease and so
long as Lessee shall pay rent and observe all other provisions of this lease.

26. NOTICES. All notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing.

27. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and agreements contained in this lease
shall be  binding  upon the  parties  hereto and upon  their  respective  heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all of the parties hereto
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

28.  REMEDIES  CUMULATIVE.  The remedies  available to Lessor under the terms of
this  agreement and in law or equity shall be cumulative and the exercise of one
remedy shall not constitute an election of remedies.

29. TIME. Time is of the essence of this lease.  30.  CAPTIONS.  The captions in
this lease are for convenience  only and are not a part of this lease and do not
in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this lease.  31. SPECIAL
MAINTENANCE.  Lessee shall  provide  maintenance  at least  bimonthly to all air
conditioning  and heating  equipment  and repair or replace any  equipment  when
required,  including the cost of labor, when not covered by existing warranties.

licensed air conditioning service contractor or provide preventative maintenance
in accordance with accepted industry practice. 32. FLOOR TILE. Lessee to replace
floor  tile to  Lessor's  satisfaction  in the  event  tile  is not in the  same
condition at the expiration of this lease as when first  received,  exclusive of
normal wear and tear. 33. RENEWAL OPTIONS.  Lessee shall have an option to renew
this lease for an  unlimited  number of five (5) year terms,  commencing  on the
expiration of the original term, by giving notice to Lessor at least ninety (90)
days prior to the  expiration  of the original or then extended term of Lessee's
election  to  exercise  this  option to renew.  The  extended  term of  Lessee's
election to exercise  this option to renew.  The extended term shall be upon all
the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,  including,  but not  limited  to,

THIS AGREEMENT is entered as of this 15th day of July, 1976, by and between JOHN
A.  SOBRATO,  SUSAN R.  SOBRATO,  CARL E.  BERG,  MARY ANN BERG and ANN S. RUSSO
(hereinafter  collectively  referred  to  as  "Sobrato-Berg-Russo")  and  AMDAHL
CORPORATION (hereinafter called "Amdahl"), a Delaware corporation.

RECITALS:

The  parties  enter  this  Agreement  on  the  basis  of  the  following  facts,
understandings and intentions:

A.  On  September  14,  1973,  Amdahl  and  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  entered  into an
agreement  (hereinafter called "Amdahl  Agreement") in which  Sobrato-Berg-Russo
granted to Amdahl an option to  purchase  and right of first  refusal  regarding
certain land and right of first refusal on other land.  Amdahl has not exercised
any of said rights.  The Amdahl Agreement also provided that  Sobrato-Berg-Russo
would lease certain improved property (hereinafter called "Phase I") in the City
of  Sunnyvale,  County  of  Santa  Clara,  State  of  California,  Phase I being
described  in Exhibit I attached  hereto and  incorporated  herein by  reference
thereto.  The  lease  obligations  for  Phase  I  were  set  forth  in  a  lease
(hereinafter  called  "Lease I"),  which was attached as Exhibit B to the Amdahl
Agreement and was dated September 14, 1973.

B. Amdahl and  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  now desire to cancel all rights,  obligations
and  understandings  of the  Amdahl  Agreement,  except as  provided  explicitly
herein,  amend Lease I and enter into new lease (hereinafter  called "Lease II")
of certain  property  with  improvements  (hereinafter  called "Phase II") to be
constructed  by  Sobrato-Berg-Russo,  Phase II being  contiguous  to Phase I and
described  in Exhibit 2 attached  hereto and  incorporated  herein by  reference
thereto.

NOW,  THEREFORE,  IN  CONSIDERATION  of the mutual covenants and promises of the
parties herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Cancellation: Amdahl Agreement. Cancel the Amdahl Agreement, except for Lease
I and as otherwise provided herein.

2. Amendment: Lease I. The parties amend and clarify Lease I as herein provided.

     (a) Rent.  From and after the date  hereof the  monthly  rent under Lease I
     shall be  Forty-Seven  Thousand  Six Hundred  Thirty-Two  and Twenty  Cents
     ($47,632.20),  subject  to  Paragraph  35 of the Lease I. (b)  Commencement
     Date. The commencement date of Lease I was June 22, 1974.

     (c) Assignment and Subletting. Paragraph 8 of the Lease shall be amended to
     read as follows:

           Lessee  may  assign or sublet  all or part of the  Premises,  without
           Lessor's consent, to a parent, subsidiary, affiliate or in connection
           with a  merger,  consolidation  or sale of  substantially  all of its
           assets.

           With respect to any other  sublease or  assignment,  Lessee shall not
           assign this Lease, or any interest therein,  and shall not sublet the
           said  Premises  or any  part  thereof,  or  any  right  or  privilege
           appurtenant  thereto, or suffer any other person to occupy or use the
           said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written consent of
           Lessor  first  had and  obtained,  and a consent  to one  assignment,
           subletting occupation or use by any other person, shall not be deemed
           to be a consent to any subsequent assignment,  subletting, occupation
           or use by another person.  Any such assignment or subletting  without
           such consent shall be void,  and shall,  at the option of the Lessor,
           terminate this Lease,  providing Lessor has not unreasonably withheld
           such consent. With respect to any other sublease or assignment except
           as provided in the first paragraph of this paragraph 8 of this Lease,
           this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein,  be assignable,
           as to the  interest  of Lessee,  by  operation  of law,  without  the
           written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably  withheld.
           With respect to any other  sublease or assignment  except as provided
           in the first  paragraph of this paragraph 8, of this Lease, if Lessee
           desires to assign  its rights  under this Lease or to sublet all or a
           portion of the  Premises,  Lessee  shall first  notify  Lessor of the
           proposed terms and conditions of such  assignment or subletting;  and
           Lessor  shall have the right of first  refusal to enter into a direct
           lessor-lessee  relationship with such party under such proposed terms
           and  conditions,  in which  event  Lessee  shall be  relieved  of its
           obligations hereunder to the extent of the lessor-lessee relationship
           entered  into  between  Lessor and such third  party;  provided  that
           Lessor shall not have the above right of first refusal if the term of
           the  proposed  assignment  or sublease is for a term not in excess of
           three (3) years, with an option not to exceed two (2) years.

      (d) Continuing Obligations. Except as otherwise provided herein the rights
      and  obligations of the parties under Lease I shall continue in full force
      and effect.

3. Agreement:  Lease II.  Contemporaneously  herewith, the parties have executed
and  entered  Lease  II,  Lease  II  being  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  3 and
incorporated herein by reference thereto.

4. Access.  Amdahl grants  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  an access easement as provided in
the Grant of Lease Easement  (hereinafter called "Easement")  attached hereto as
Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference thereto. Sobrato-Berg-Russo shall
install a connection  driveway  between Phase I and Phase II and proposed  Phase
III, and Amdahl  shall have no cost  relating to the  Easement,  and any loss of
parking spaces on Phase I as a result of said driveway shall be compensated  for
by  Sobrato-Berg-Russo's  grant of parking  and access  thereto on the  property
described in Exhibit 5,  attached  hereto and  incorporated  herein by reference
thereto.  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  shall also pay all fees for relocation of any sign
owned by Amdahl, and Sobrato-Berg-Russo indemnifies and holds Amdahl harmless of
and from any loss, cost or expense  relating to the Easement or any work done or
use made of Phase I and Phase II in connection therewith.

5. Right of First Refusal: Phase I. Sobrato-Berg-Russo  grants Amdahl a right of
first  refusal to  purchase  Phase I. The terms of this  right of first  refusal
shall be for the period during which  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  owns Phase I and shall
operate as follows:  Sobrato-Berg-Russo shall advise Amdahl in writing should it
wish to offer Phase I for sale  (Sobrato-Berg-Russo  shall not in any event sell
or offer  for sale only a portion  of Phase I) and the terms and  conditions  of
said proposed sale.  Within thirty (30) business days following  receipt of such
notice,  Amdahl  may  advise  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  in  writing  that it wishes to
purchase  Phase  I on  the  same  terms  and  conditions,  including  the  price
specified,  in which event  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  shall  consummate such sale with
Amdahl on such terms and conditions;  provided, however, that if Amdahl does not
so notify Sobrato-Berg-Russo within such thirty (30) business day period, Amdahl
shall thereafter have no further rights to purchase Phase I unless such proposed
sale is not consummated by  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  within six (6) months of the end
of said thirty (30)  business  day period,  in which event Amdahl shall have the
same rights of first  refusal  with regard to any  subsequent  proposed  sale of
Phase I by Sobrato-Berg-Russo as specified in this paragraph. Sobrato-Berg-Russo
agrees that this right of first refusal may, at Amdahl's  request,  be reflected
in a separate written  agreement and  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  agrees to execute said
agreement  and  to  execute,  acknowledge  and  deliver  recordable  instruments
promptly upon request  therefor in order to evidence or effectuate said right of
first refusal.

6. Right of First Refusal: Phase II. Sobrato-Berg-Russo grants Amdahl a right of
first  refusal to  purchase  Phase II. The terms of this right of first  refusal
shall be for the period during which  Sobrato-Berg-Russo owns Phase II and shall
operate as follows:  Sobrato-Berg-Russo shall advise Amdahl in writing should it
wish to offer Phase II for sale (Sobrato-Berg-Russo  shall not in any event sell
or offer for sale only a portion  of Phase II) and the terms and  conditions  of
said proposed sale.  Within thirty (30) business days following  receipt of such
notice,  Amdahl  may  advise  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  in  writing  that it wishes to
purchase  Phase  II on the  same  terms  and  conditions,  including  the  price
specified,  in which event  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  shall  consummate such sale with
Amdahl on such terms and conditions;  provided, however, that if Amdahl does not
so notify Sobrato-Berg-Russo within such thirty (30) business day period, Amdahl
shall  thereafter  have no  further  rights to  purchase  Phase II  unless  such
proposed sale is not consummated by Sobrato-Berg-Russo  within six (6) months of
the end of said thirty (30)  business  day period,  in which event  Amdahl shall
have the same rights of first  refusal  with regard to any  subsequent  proposed
sale  of  Phase  II  by  Sobrato-Berg-Russo  as  specified  in  this  paragraph.
Sobrato-Berg-Russo  agrees  that this right of first  refusal  may,  at Amdahl's
request,  be reflected in a separate  written  agreement and  Sobrato-Berg-Russo
agrees to  execute  said  agreement  and to  execute,  acknowledge  and  deliver
recordable  instruments  promptly upon request  therefor in order to evidence or
effectuate said right of first refusal.

NOW,  THEREFORE,  IN  CONSIDERATION  of the mutual promises and covenants of the
parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Phase I Lease: Renewal Options.  Paragraph 34 of the Phase I Lease,  entitled
"RENEWAL  OPTIONS" is hereby deleted from the Phase I Lease, and in its stead is
inserted the following:

      "34. RENEWAL OPTIONS.  Lessee shall have an option to renew this Lease for

      on the expiration of the original term of this Lease,  by giving notice to
      Lessor at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the  expiration
      of the original term, or the then extended  term, of Lessee's  election to
      exercise this option to renew. The extended terms shall be upon all of the

inserted the following:

       "33. RENEWAL OPTIONS. Lessee shall have an option to renew this Lease for
      fifteen (15) consecutive five (5) year terms, the first of which commences

      of the original term, or the then extended  term, of Lessee's  election to
      exercise this option to renew. The extended terms shall be upon all of the
      terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,  including,  but not limited to,
      Paragraph 34 hereof."

 3. Phase I Lease:  Condemnation.  The entire Paragraph 24 of the Phase I Lease,
Paragraph  24 of the  Phase I Lease  being  entitled  "CONDEMNATION",  is hereby
deleted, and in its stead is inserted the following:

      "24. CONDEMNATION.  The word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this
      Lease shall mean the exercise of the power of eminent domain  expressed by
      the  condemnor  in any  writing  as well as by the filing of any action or
      proceeding  for such  purpose by any  entity  having the right of power of
      eminent  domain,  and shall include a voluntary sale by Lessor to any such
      entity,   either  under  threat  of  condemnation  or  while  condemnation
      proceedings are pending,  and  "condemnation"  shall occur upon the actual
      taking of possession by the condemnor.  In the event the demised  premises
      or  any  part  thereof  is  condemned  and  such  condemnation  materially
      interferes  with  Lessee's use of the demised  premises,  this Lease shall
      terminate,  and Lessor and Lessee  shall be entitled  to their  respective
      interests in the amount of any award made as provided below, regardless of
      whether  the  award  is based on a  single  award or a  separate  award as
      between  Lessor and Lessee.  Lessor shall turn over to Lessee that portion
      of any such award received by Lessor  hereunder  which is  attributable to
      Lessee's  fixtures and  equipment  which are condemned as part of the real
      property but which Lessee would  otherwise be entitled to remove,  and the
      appraisal of the court,  or the condemning  entity if the  condemnation is
      not  determined by a court,  of the amount of any such award  allocable to
      such items shall be conclusive. If the total award be fixed by negotiation
      and be  greater  than  the  condemning  entity's  appraisal,  the  portion
      attributable  to  Lessee's  fixtures,   equipment  and  personal  property
      aforesaid  shall  be the  same  proportion  of the  actual  award  as said
      fixtures and equipment were of the entity's  appraisal.  Lessor shall also
      turn over to Lessee  the  portion of any such  award  attributable  to any
      improvements  constructed at the expense of Lessee.  If such  condemnation
      does not  materially  interfere  with Lessee's use of the  premises,  this
      Lease shall continue except that rental shall be reduced for the remainder
      of the term of this Lease, as may be extended, in proportion to the amount
      of the premises  condemned,  using the square footage of the building as a
      base. In such event Lessor, at Lessor's expense,  shall repair and remodel
      the remainder of the premises so that the  remaining  premises can be used
      effectively by Lessee.  If Lessor's portion of the award is not sufficient
      to repair and remodel then Lessee shall reimburse  Lessor for the costs of
      such repairs and remodeling to the extent they exceed Lessor's  portion of
      the award in the same manner  provided in the last  sentence of  Paragraph
      23."

 4. Phase II Lease: Condemnation. The entire Paragraph 23 of the Phase II Lease,
said section being entitled "CONDEMNATION",  is hereby deleted from the Phase II
Lease, and in its stead is inserted the following:

      "23. CONDEMNATION.  The word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this
      Lease shall mean the exercise of the power of eminent domain  expressed by
      the  condemnor  in any  writing  as well as by the filing of any action or
      proceeding  for such  purpose by any  entity  having the right of power of
      eminent  domain,  and shall include a voluntary sale by Lessor to any such
      entity,   either  under  threat  of  condemnation  or  while  condemnation
      proceedings are pending,  and  "condemnation"  shall occur upon the actual
      taking of possession by the condemnor.  In the event the demised  premises
      or  any  part  thereof  is  condemned  and  such  condemnation  materially
      interferes  with  Lessee's use of the demised  premises,  this Lease shall
      terminate  and Lessor and Lessee  shall be  entitled  to their  respective
      interests in the amount of any award made as provided below, regardless of
      whether  the  award  is based on a  single  award or a  separate  award as
      between  Lessor and Lessee.  Lessor shall turn over to Lessee that portion
      of any such award received by Lessor  hereunder  which is  attributable to
      Lessee's fixtures,  equipment and personal property which are condemned as
      part of the real property but which Lessee would  otherwise be entitled to
      remove,  and the appraisal of the court,  or the condemning  entity if the
      condemnation is not determined by a court, of the amount of any such award
      allocable to such items shall be  conclusive.  If the total award be fixed
      by negotiation and be greater than the condemning entity's appraisal,  the
      portion attributable to Lessee's fixtures and equipment aforesaid shall be
      the same  proportion of the actual award as said  fixtures,  equipment and
      personal property were of the entity's  appraisal.  Lessor shall also turn
      over  to  Lessee  the  portion  of  any  such  award  attributable  to any
      improvements  constructed at the expense of Lessee.  If such  condemnation
      does not  materially  interfere  with Lessee's use of the  premises,  this
      Lease shall continue except that rental shall be reduced for the remainder
      of the term of this Lease, as may be extended, in proportion to the amount
      of the premises  condemned,  using the square footage of the building as a
      base. In such event Lessor, at Lessor's expense,  shall repair and remodel
      the remainder of the premises so that the  remaining  premises can be used
      effectively by Lessee.  If Lessor's portion of the award is not sufficient
      to repair and remodel then Lessee shall reimburse  Lessor for the costs of
      such repairs and remodeling to the extent they exceed Lessor's  portion of
      the award in the same manner  provided in the last  sentence of  Paragraph
      22."

5. Phase I Lease:  Destruction of Premises. The entire Paragraph 23 of the Phase
I Lease,  said section  being  entitled  "DESTRUCTION  OF  PREMISES",  is hereby
deleted from the Phase I Lease, and in its stead is inserted the following:

     "23. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. If the building on the premises is damaged or
     destroyed by fire,  earthquake,  acts of God, the elements or as the result
     of faulty  construction  or  design,  Lessee  shall give  immediate  notice
     thereof to Lessor and the monthly rent due hereunder  shall be  immediately
     reduced by an amount equal to the amount of rent per square foot to be paid
     hereunder  multiplied by the number of unusable square feet of floor space.
     If any such damage or  destruction  is covered by  insurance as provided in
     Paragraph  19 hereof,  Lessor  shall,  at Lessor's  sole cost and  expense,
     repair the damage as soon as  possible  after such  damage or  destruction;
     provided,  however,  that if such damage or destruction exceeds thirty-five
     percent (35%) of the  replacement  value of the building,  either party may
     terminate  this  Lease  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  such  damage  or
     destruction.  If neither party has terminated  this Lease, or the damage or
     destruction is less than said  thirty-five  percent (35%),  Lessor shall be
     responsible  for  reconstruction  as above  provided  and  Lessor  shall be
     entitled  to all  real  property  insurance  proceeds.  If  this  Lease  is
     terminated,  the parties shall be entitled to the insurance proceeds in the
     same manner that they are entitled to the condemnation award as provided in
     Paragraph 24 hereof. If a damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake,
     acts of God or the  elements  is not  covered by  insurance  as provided in
     Paragraph 19 hereof,  Lessor shall at Lessor's sole cost and expense repair
     the damage as soon as possible after such damage or destruction;  provided,
     however,  that if such damage or destruction  exceeds  thirty-five  percent
     (35%) of the replacement value of the building,  either party may terminate
     this Lease  within  thirty (30) days after such damage or  destruction.  If
     neither party has  terminated  this Lease,  or the damage or destruction is
     less than said thirty-five  percent (35%),  Lessor shall be responsible for
     reconstruction   as  above   provided,   but  Lessor's   expense  for  said
     reconstruction,  said expense  being the  construction  costs as defined in
     Exhibit  C to the  Phase III Lease  between  the  parties  and of even date
     herewith,  shall be  repaid  to  Lessor  by  Lessee  in equal  installments
     amortized  over the  remaining  term of this Lease,  including  any options
     exercised by Lessee,  including interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over
     the  best  rate  obtainable  by  Lessor  for  funds  used to  finance  such
     reconstruction."

6. Phase II Lease: Destruction of Premises. The entire Paragraph 22 of the Phase
II Lease,  said section being  entitled  "DESTRUCTION  OF  PREMISES",  is hereby
deleted from the Phase II Lease, and in its stead is inserted the following:

"22.  DESTRUCTION  OF  PREMISES.  If the  building on the premises is damaged or
destroyed  by fire,  earthquake,  acts of God,  the elements or as the result of
faulty  construction  or design,  Lessee shall give immediate  notice thereof to
Lessor and the monthly rent due  hereunder  shall be  immediately  reduced by an
amount  equal  to the  amount  of rent  per  square  foot  to be paid  hereunder
multiplied  by the number of unusable  square feet of floor  space.  If any such
damage or  destruction  is covered by  insurance  as  provided in  Paragraph  18
hereof,  Lessor shall,  at Lessor's sole cost and expense,  repair the damage as
soon as possible after such damage or destruction;  provided,  however,  that if
such damage or destruction exceeds thirty-five percent (3570) of the replacement
value of the building,  either party may terminate this Lease within thirty (30)
days after such damage or  destruction.  If neither  party has  terminated  this
Lease, or the damage or destruction is less than said thirty-five percent (35%),
Lessor shall be responsible for  construction as above provided and Lessor shall
be  entitled  to  all  real  property  insurance  proceeds.  If  this  Lease  is
terminated,  the parties shall be entitled to the insurance proceeds in the same
manner that they are entitled to the condemnation award as provided in Paragraph
23 hereof. If a damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake, acts of God or
the  elements is not covered by  insurance  as provided in  Paragraph 18 hereof,
Lessor  shall at  Lessor's  sole cost and  expense  repair the damage as soon as
possible  after such  damage or  destruction;  provided,  however,  that if such
damage or destruction exceeds thirty-five percent (35%) of the replacement value
of the building,  either party may terminate  this Lease within thirty (30) days
after such damage or destruction. If neither party has terminated this Lease, or
the damage or destruction is less than said  thirty-five  percent (35%),  Lessor
shall be responsible for reconstruction as above provided,  but Lessor's expense
for said reconstruction, said expense being the construction costs as defined in
Exhibit C to the Phase III Lease between the parties and of even date  herewith,
shall be repaid to Lessor  by Lessee in equal  installments  amortized  over the
remaining  term of this  Lease,  including  any  options  exercised  by  Lessee,
including  interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over the best rate  obtainable
by Lessor for funds used to finance such reconstruction."

7. Phase I Lease and Phase II Lease: Arbitration. The
following paragraph is added to both the Phase I Lease and the
Phase II Lease:

 " ARBITRATION.  In each case where there is a dispute between the parties under
this Lease, the dispute shall be settled by arbitration.  Such arbitration shall
be  determined  as  provided  in this  paragraph  and all  arbitrators  shall be
disinterested persons of at least ten years' experience in an executive capacity
in the active  management of major real  properties  in the Northern  California
Area.  The party desiring such  arbitration  shall give notice to that effect to
the other party,  specifying  in said notice the name and address of such person
designated to act as arbitrator on its behalf. Within twenty (20) days after the
service of such  notice,  the other  party  shall give notice to the first party
specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as arbitrator on
its  behalf.  If the  second  party  fails  to  notify  the  first  party of the
appointment  of its  arbitrator,  as  aforesaid,  within  or by the  time  above
specified,  then the appointment of the second  arbitrator  shall be made in the
same manner as hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third arbitrator in
a case where the two arbitrators  appointed hereunder and the parties are unable
to agree upon such appointment.  The arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten
(10) days after the second arbitrator is appointed.  If the said two arbitrators
shall  not agree  upon the  decision  to be made in such  dispute,  they  shall,
themselves,  appoint a third  arbitrator  who shall be a competent and impartial
person;  and in the event of their failure to make such decision to appoint such
arbitrator within ten (10) days after their meeting,  the third arbitrator shall
be selected by the parties themselves if they can agree thereon within a further
period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree,  then either party,
on behalf of both,  may request  the then  presiding  judge of any Court  having
jurisdiction thereof to appoint such third arbitrator, and the other party shall
not raise any question as the Court's full power and  jurisdiction  to entertain
the  application  and make the  appointment and the person so appointed shall be
the third  arbitrator.  The decision of the arbitrators so chosen shall be given
within a period  of  thirty  (30)  days  after  the  appointment  of such  third
arbitrator.  The decision in which any two of the  arbitrators  so appointed and
acting  hereunder  concur shall in all cases be binding and conclusive  upon the
parties.  Each  party  shall  pay the  fees and  expenses  of the one of the two
original  arbitrators  appointed  by such  party,  or in  whose  stead  as above
provided such  arbitrator was appointed,  and the fees and expenses of the third
arbitrator,  if any, shall be borne equally by both parties. Except as otherwise
provided in this Lease,  said arbitration  shall be conducted in accordance with
the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration  Association,  and judgment
upon any  arbitration  decision  rendered  may be  entered  by any Court  having
jurisdiction thereof. 8. Continuing  Obligations.  Except as amended herein, the
Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties have entered this  Agreement as of the day and
year first above written in one or more copies.

Re: Letter Agreement Modifying Lease

Dear John:

This Letter  Agreement shall serve as a modification  of the lease  (hereinafter
called "Lease")  between JOHN A SOBRATO and SUSAN R. SOBRATO,  a married couple,
CARL E.  BERG and MARY ANN  BERG,  a married  couple  (hereinafter  collectively
called  "Lessor")  and  AMDAHL  CORPORATION  (hereinafter  called  "Lessee"),  a
Delaware  corporation,  which  Lease is dated  April 3, 1979 and amended per the
Addendum  to Lease dated even date  herewith,  whereby  Lessor  leased to Lessee
certain premises  (hereinafter called "Premises")  situated in the City of Santa
Clara, County of Santa Clara, State of California, the Premises being located on
the property described in Exhibit A to the Lease. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree
to the following modifications and understandings to and regarding the Lease,

1.  Lessor  shall be  responsible  for  construction  of the office  building as
provided  for in the Lease.  Lessee  shall have the right to approve the design,
materials,  subcontractors,  materialmen,  all  contracts  and  all  expense  of
construction prior to Lessor contracting for, performing or paying for same.

2. Except as provided in Paragraphs 5 and 6 hereof, notwithstanding,  the rental
amount of seventy-three  thousand seven hundred twelve ($73,712.00) per month to
be payable by Lessee to Lessor as set forth in the  WITNESSETH of the Lease,  as
amended by the Addendum to Lease,  the monthly  rental for the Premises shall be
calculated by fully amortizing the Construction  Costs, as hereinafter  defined,
over  twenty  (20)  years at the loan  constant  equal to the  interest  rate on
Lessor's  permanent  financing on the Premises plus a rental constant of one and
one-half percent (1-1/2%). (For example, assuming the Construction Costs are One
Million  Dollars  ($1,000,000.00),  and assuming  the interest  rate on Lessor's
permanent  financing is nine and one-half percent  (9-1/2%),  the monthly rental
would be calculated by fully amortizing One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) over
twenty (20) years at eleven percent (11%) payable  monthly and would be equal to
Ten  Thousand  Three  Hundred   Twenty-One   Dollars  and   Eighty-Eight   Cents
($10,321.88) per month).

3. Lessor,  at Lessor's sole expense,  shall be responsible for the Construction
Costs,  as  hereinafter  defined,  except as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.  4.
Construction  Costs  shall  include,  but  shall  not be  limited  to,  fees  to
independent   contractors  working  on  construction  of  the  office  building,
materials for the office  building,  title insurance  premiums,  architects' and
engineers' fees for development of plans for the office building,  and City fees
and permit  charges,  all  necessary  bonds and  insurance  policies,  costs for
interest on the construction during the course of construction, including points
for commitments  therefor,  the cost of the land underlying the Premises (at the
rate of Five Dollars ($5.00) per square foot), interest at the prime rate on the
coat of the land  underlying  the Premises (at the rate of Five Dollars  ($5.00)
per square foot) during  construction  only, costs of permits,  any construction
fees or area fees of the City of Santa  Clara,  any taxes on the land during the
construction  period,  any costs to extend utility service to the property,  and
the  cost of soil  tests,  on-site  supervision  costs,  and  fee to  Lessor  of
$100,000.00 percent (1.925%) for management fees,  exclusive of Lessor's one and
925/100 percent (1.925%) management fee.

5.  Lessee,  at  Lessee's  sole  expense,  shall be  responsible  for all of the
Construction  Costs,  as defined in  Paragraph  4, in excess of Six  Million One
Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars  ($6,170,000.00)  provided,  however,  such Six
Million One Hundred  Seventy  Thousand  Dollar  ($6,170,000.00)  amount shall be
increased to Six Million Eight Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($6,800,000.00),  and
Lessor shall then be  responsible  for such Six Million Eight  Hundred  Thousand
Dollars  ($6,800,000.00)  sum of Construction Costs, if Lessor is able to secure
permanent  financing in the amount of Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
($6,800,000.00) pursuant to either of the following subparagraphs.

(a) In the event Lessor is able to obtain  permanent  financing in the amount of
Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars  ($6,800,000.00)  at an interest rate
lese than nine and  three-quarters  percent (9-3/4%)  amortized over thirty (30)
years;  in such case the monthly  rental for the Premises shall be calculated as
provided in Paragraph 2 hereof.

(b) In the event Lessor is unable to obtain permanent financing in the amount of
Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars  (86,800,000.00)  at an interest rate
of less than nine and three quarters  percent (9-3/4%) prior to October 1, 1979,
but Lessor is able to obtain  permanent  financing  in the amount of Six Million
Eight Hundred  Thousand Dollars  ($6,800,000.00)  at a higher but still the best
interest rate available to Lessor  amortized over a thirty (30) year period.  In
such case, at the sole option of Lessee,  monthly  rental for the Premises shall
be determined by the following formula:

      The initial monthly rental for the Premises shall be Lessor's monthly debt
      service  payment  under said  permanent  financing  multiplied  by one and
      one-quarter (1-1/4/1. 25).

6. In the event any permanent  financing obtained by Lessor includes a provision
allowing  the lender to call the  maturity of the  permanent  loan (and  thereby
achieve total repayment of the permanent loan) prior to thirty (30) years and if
the lender exercises such right, the monthly rental for the Premises,  effective
on the date of such refinancing shall be recalculated according to the following
formula:

      X + (B-A) = New Monthly Rental

      X = the monthly rental payable during the immediately  preceding  calendar
      month as it may have been increased pursuant to Paragraph 34 of the Lease.

      A = one-twelfth (1/12) of the number of dollars equal to the interest rate
      on Lessor's previous permanent  financing  multiplied by the then existing
      outstanding  principal balance under such permanent  financing at the time
      of total repayment of such financing.

      B = one-twelfth (1/12) of the number of dollars equal to the interest rate
      on Lessor's  replacement  permanent  financing  multiplied by the existing
      outstanding  principal balance under Lessor's previous permanent financing
      at the time of total repayment of such financing.

Provided,  however,  in no instance  shall the monthly  rental for the  Premises
after such recalculation be less than "X" in the above formula.

7. Lessee shall have access to all of Lessor's records and accounts  relating to
construction of the office building and the Construction Costs at all times, and
Lessee shall have the right to audit such books and records at any time.  Lessor
shall deliver to Lessee, prior to execution, all contracts and plans, and Lessor
shall obtain Lessee's approval of all contracts and plans prior to execution and
implementation  of  same.  Lessor  shall  obtain  standard  warranties  from all
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen. Lessee shall have the right to make
changes in the Plans, as defined in the Lease, at any time;  provided,  however,
in the  event  any  such  Lessee'  changes  in the  Plans  delay  the  scheduled
completion  data of the project beyond  December 1st, 1997 and such delay is not
attributable to any cause or event other than Lessee's  changes in the Pans, the
commencement  date of the Lease  with  regard to monthly  rent only shall  occur
earlier  than as  defined in the Lease by the number of days equal to the number
of days of delay in the scheduled completion date of the project beyond December
1, 1997 which are solely attributable to Lessee's changes in the Plans.

8.  Lessor  agrees to use  Lessor's  best  efforts  to get the  lowest  possible
interest rate on any permanent financing on the Premises or any financing on the
Premises  referred to herein or in the Lease;  provided,  however,  Lessee shall
have the right to provide any such financing if Lessee is able to obtain a lower
interest rate on any such financing.

9.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  in  the  WITNESSETH,  Lessor's
obligation to repair  defects in the materials  and  construction  of the office
building and any other improvements constructed by Lessor pursuant to the Lease,
shall  include all patent and latent  defects in the office  building  and other
improvements  constructed  by Lessor  pursuant  to Lease,  but shall not include
repairs required due to ordinary wear and tear or repairs required due to damage
caused by Lessee.  10.  Lessee hereby  authorized  Lessor to apply for permanent
financing from Mutual of New York on the following terms:

      1. Amount - $6,800,000.00.

      2. Amortization Term - Thirty (30) years.

      3. Lender Call Privilege fifteen (15) years.

      4.  Interest  Rate - 10% with lender  right to increase up to 10 1/4% upon
      California usury law 10% Limitation being changed.

      5. Rent Coverage Over Monthly Debt Service Charge - 1.25.

Lessor's loan  application in conformance  with the foregoing  shall be attached
hereto within thirty (30) days after Lessor's application.

In the event the interest rate under the above authorized permanent financing is
actually  increased  by the  lender  to 10  1/4%,  effective  on the day of such
increase in the interest  rate,  the monthly  rental for the  Premises  shall be
recalculated under Paragraph 5 (b) (1) hereof.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have executed  two(2) or more copies of
the Letter Agreement on June 7, 1979.

THIS LEASE,  executed in duplicate as of the 7th day of June, 1979, between JOHN

BERG, a married  couple,  hereinafter  collectively  called  Lessor,  and AMDAHL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, hereinafter called Lessee. WITNESSETH: that
Lessor does  hereby  lease unto Lessee and Lessee does hereby hire and take from
Lessor those  certain  premises  situated in the City of Santa  Clara,  State of
California,  and described as follows,  to wit: that property  which is shown as
Parcel __ (comprising  approximately  7.565 acres) on the map attached hereto as
Exhibit "A",  and made a part  hereof,  the precise  legal  description  of said
premises to be attached hereto as part of Exhibit "A", within sixty (60) days of
the date hereof, said legal description to be first approved by Lessee, together
with the  improvements  consisting of a two-story  office  building which office

independent  contractors to be employed by and under the  supervision of Lessor,
as general contractor, in accordance with the plans and specifications ("Plans")
to be prepared by Lessor,  all such  construction to be at the expense of Lessor
and Lessee as provided in a separate Letter Agreement between Lessor and Lessee.
Such Plans are subject to the reasonable approval of lessee and will be attached
hereto as Exhibit "B", at such time,  and made a Part hereof.  Lessee shall have
the right to approve all contractors,  subcontractors and materialmen as well as
the design,  materials and  workmanship of the  construction.  Lessee shall also
have the  right  to  approve  all  expenses  relating  to  construction  of said
improvements before Lessor has contracted for same.

This Lease  shall not  become  effective  and the lease term shall not  commence
unless  and until the  two-story  office  building,  consisting  of at least one
hundred  twenty-five  thousand (124,000)  enclosed,  gross square feet, is Fully

not Fully  Complete and Ready for Occupancy by November 1, 1979 (extended by the
length of a delay, directly caused by strikes, acts of God or by any other cause
which is both  beyond the  reasonable  control of Lessor and not now  reasonably
foreseeable by Lessor), Lessee, at its option, shall have the right to terminate
this  Lease and  Lessor  shall  refund to Lessee any and all sums which may have
been paid by Lessee to Lessor  prior to such  time.  Lessee  shall also have the
right to  terminate  this Lease and receive any and all sums which may have been
paid by Lessee  to Lessor  prior to such  time if the  landscaping  relating  to
Parcel __ or any remaining work on the office building exterior is not completed
in accordance with all of the applicable Plans within sixty (60) days after such
building is Fully Complete and Ready for Occupancy or if the required attachment
to Exhibit "A" hereto has not been attached within the time  prescribed  herein.
"Fully  Complete  and Ready for  Occupancy"  shall  mean that (i) all  necessary
governmental approvals, permits, consents and certificates have been obtained by
or for Lessor for the lawful construction by Lessor, and occupancy by Lessee, of
said premises and  improvements,  excluding work  attributable to trade fixtures
and any special  fit-up  requested by Lessee,  but including the  certificate of
occupancy  for said  Premises and  improvements  unless  Lessee has occupied the
premises and improvements  prior to Lessor's receipt of such  certificate,  (ii)
all of the building interior fully meets all of the applicable Plans,  (iii) all
of the building exterior  substantially  meets the applicable  Plans,  including
paved  parking  areas,  and (iv) said  building  interior  is in  "broom  clean"
finished  condition.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  herein,  Lessor
warrants that there shall be no defects in the materials or  construction of the
office  building and any other  improvements  constructed  by Lessor as provided
herein,   and  Lessor  shall  repair  any  such  defects  in  the  materials  or
construction  of the office building and any other  improvements  constructed by
Lessor as provided  herein if any such defects are  discovered  within seven (7)
years after the  commencement  of the term of this Lease.  Lessor  shall also be
responsible  for the  enforcement of any customary or expressed  warranties from
any subcontractors, material or equipment supplier, architect and engineer.

The term shall be for twenty  (20)  years,  subject to the  renewal  options set
forth in Paragraph 33 hereof. Unless Lessee has theretofore elected to terminate
this Lease,  as provided  hereinabove,  the term shall  commence when the office
building is Fully  Complete and Ready for  Occupancy  and (i) Lessee has entered
into  occupancy  of  the  office  building  or  (ii)  Lessor  has  received  the
certificate of occupancy for the office  building,  whichever shall occur first.
Rental shall be payable in lawful money of the United  States of America,  which
Lessee  agrees to pay to  Lessor  without  deduction,  setoff or demand at 20700
Valley Green Drive, Cupertino,  California 95014, or such place or places as may
be  designated  in  writing  from  time  to  time  by  Lessor,  in  advance,  in
installments as follows: The rental shall be Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00)
per month payable on the 1st day of each calendar  month  throughout the term of
this Lease,  subject to modification as provided in a separate Letter  Agreement
between Lessor and Lessee.

It is further mutually agreed between the parties as follows:

1.  USE AND  POSSESSION.  The  premises  and  improvements  are to be  used  for
administrative  offices,  engineering,   research,   development,   warehousing,
receiving  and  inspecting,   manufacturing,   shipping,  employees'  cafeteria,
assembly of computer-oriented  electronic equipment and any other legal uses. If
Lessee with Lessor's  consent takes possession prier to the commencement of said
term,  Lessee shall do so subject to all the covenants and conditions hereof and

      performed,  it being specifically  agreed that all unpaid  installments of
      rent or other sums shall bear  interest at the highest legal rate from the
      due date thereof until paid.

      Without terminating the Lease, Lessor shall relet the premises or any part
      thereof for such term or terms (Which may be for a term  extending  beyond
      the term of this  Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
      terms  and  conditions  as Lessor in his  reasonable  discretion  may deem
      advisable with the right to make  alterations and repairs to said premises
      necessary for reletting.  upon such  reletting,  (i) Lessee is immediately
      liable to pay to Lessor,  in addition to any indebtedness  other than rent

      reasonable  expenses  to  prepare  the  premises  for such  reletting  and
      reasonable attorneys' fees and real estate commissions, and the amount; if
      any,  by which the rent  reserved  in this  Lease  for the  Period of such
      reletting (up to but not beyond the term of the Lease)  exceeds the amount
      agreed to be paid as rent by new Lessee for the demised  premises for such
      Period on such reletting,  or (ii) at the option of Lessor,  rent received
      by Lessor  for such  reletting  shall be  applied  first to payment of any
      indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second,
      to payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting;  third, to payment
      of rent due and unpaid hereunder;  and, the residue, if any, shall be held
      by lessor and  applied  in  payment  of future  rent as nay become due and
      Payable  hereunder.  If  Lessee  has  been  credited  with  any rent to be
      received  for  reletting  under  option  (i),  and such rent  shall not be
      promptly  Paid to Lessor by new Lessee,  or if such rentals  received from
      such reletting under option (ii) during any month be less than paid during
      that month by Lessee  hereunder,  Lessee shall pay any such  deficiency to
      Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

      PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the  Lessor  does  not  relet  said  premises
      himself,  then Lessee may sublet or assign his  interest in the Lease,  or
      both, pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereunder.

      Any  reasonable  expenses  incurred for  renovation  and alteration of the
      premises in order to put said  premises in condition  for occupancy by the
      assignee or sublessee of Lessee, shall be borne by Lessee.

      C.   TERMINATION  OF  THE  LEASE  PURSUANT   1951.2  OF  THE  CIVIL  CODE.
      Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,  Lessor may at any
      time  thereafter  elect to  terminate  this  Lease  for any such  previous
      breach.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in
      addition to any other remedy he may have,  he may recover from lessee,  at
      the time of award, any and all of the following damages:

           (i) All  unpaid  rent up to the time of  termination,  plus  interest
           thereon at the legal rate.

           (ii)  Between  the date of  termination  and the date of  award,  the
           difference between the unpaid rent and the amount of such rental loss
           that the Lessee proves  Lessor could  reasonably  have avoided,  plus
           interest thereon at the legal rate.

           (iii) The  discounted  present  value of the  difference  between the
           unpaid  rent for the  balance  of the term  after  the  award and the
           amount of such  rental loss the Lessee  proves the Lessor  could have
           reasonably  avoided.  The discount  rate shall be the prime  interest
           rate of the Federal  Reserve Bank of San Francisco,  plus one percent
           (1%).

           All of these amounts shall be immediately  due and payable at date of
           award, from the Lessee to Lessor. In addition to the amount recovered
           for  damages  for  loss of past and  future  rents,  Lessor  shall be
           entitled to recover reasonable expenses in retaking the property,  in
           making  repairs  Lessee  was  obligated  to make,  in  preparing  the
           property for reletting, and in reletting the property, and other such
           damages as  necessary  to  compensate  Lessor  for all the  detriment
           caused by Lessee, including, but not limited to, breaches of specific
           covenants  of the  Lease  such as the  promise  to  maintain  and the
           promise to restore the Premises on termination.

11.  SURRENDER  OF LEASE.  The  voluntary  or other  surrender  of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall not
terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, but shall operate as an
assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

12. LITIGATION EXPENSES. If either party shall bring an action against the other
by reason of the  breach of any  covenant,  warranty  or  condition  hereof,  or
otherwise  arising out of this Lease,  whether for  declaratory or other relief,
the  prevailing  party in such suit shall be  entitled  to its costs of suit and
reasonable attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.  Prevailing  party within the meaning of this  paragraph
shall  include,  without  limitation,  a party who brings an action  against the
other after the other's  default,  if such action is dismissed  upon the other's
payment of the sums  allegedly due or  performance  of the  covenants  allegedly
breached,  or if the plaintiff or  cross-complainant  obtains  substantially the
relief sought by it in the action.

arising out of any work performed or materials  furnished by or at the direction
of  Lessee;  provided,   however  that  such  covenant  shall  not  include  any
construction done by Lessor.  In the event any such lien is filed,  Lessee shall
do all acts  necessary to discharge  any lien within thirty (30) days of filing,
or if lessee  desires to contest any such lien,  then Lessee shall  deposit with
Lessor one and  one-half  (1-1/2)  times the amount of said lien as security for
the payment of said lien claim or provide adequate bonding for such lien.

15.  TAXATION.  In addition to all other Payments  herein provided to be made by
Lessee and as additional  rental  hereunder,  Lessee agrees to pay to the County
tax  collector  prior  to  delinquency,  all real  property  taxes  and  special
assessments which have become or may become a lien upon the demised premises (or
are  otherwise  imposed or  assessed  on the  demised  premises)  or any portion
thereof or upon  improvements  thereon or improvements  added thereto during the
term of this Tease,  provided that any said taxes and assessments  shall be paid
over the  maximum  period  permitted  by law and Lessee  shall be liable on only
those  payments  due during the term  hereof.  If Lessee fails to pay such taxes
and/or assessments,  in addition to all other remedies Lessor has herein, Lessor
shall have the right to pay any or all of such taxes and/or  assessments  and to
recover  reimbursement  therefor from Lessee. Taxes and assessments for the year
in which this Lease  commences and for the year in which it terminates  shall be
equitably  prorated.  Lessee shall have the right to contest any  assessment  or
tax, and in the event that Lessee decides to attempt such contest,  Lessor shall
provide documents that are reasonably necessary to that end.

If at any time  during  the term of this Lease a tax or excise on rents or other
tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Lessor, as a substitute in
whole or in part for real property taxes assessed or imposed on premises, Lessee
shall pay  before  delinquency  such tax or excise on rents or such other tax to
the  extent  that such tax or excise  on rents or other tax is a  substitute  in
whole or in part for real property  taxes on the  premises.  In the event that a
tax or excise on rents is levied or assessed against Lessor,  as a substitute in
Whole or in part for taxes  assessed or imposed on the premises,  and the taxing
authority  takes the position that Lessee  cannot pay and discharge  such tax on
behalf of the Lessor,  then at the  election of Lessor,  Lessor may increase the
rent charged hereunder by the exact portion of such tax which is a substitute in
whole or in part for real property  taxes on the premises,  and Lessee agrees to
Pay said portion as additional rent at the time rental payments are due.

Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal Property, inventory
and bale fixtures.

thereof,  to be used,  for any  purpose or  purposes  other than the  purpose or

cancellation  of any  insurance  policy  covering  said  building,  or any  part
thereof,  nor shall Lessee sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about
said premises,  any article which may be prohibited by said insurance  policies.

requirements,  pertaining to said  premises,  of any insurance  organization  or
company,  necessary for the  maintenance of the  hereinafter  mentioned fire and
public liability insurance covering said building and appurtenances.

17. INSURANCE. Lessee shall maintain comprehensive public liability, plate glass

liability of not less than One trillion  Dollars  (S1,000,000.00)  for injury to
one  Person,  Two  Million  Dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  for  injury to two or more

policies of insurance provided for herein shall:

      (a) Be written in  companies  authorized  to do  business  in the State of

insurance  against loss or damage by fire to the  improvements  located upon the
leased  premises in the initial  amount of Five Million Eight  Hundred  Thousand
Dollars  ($5,800,000.00)  with  extended  and  vandalism  coverage  and  special
extended  Perils  ("all  risk"),  which  amount may be increased in future years
based upon bona fide appraised  increases in replacement cost.  However,  Lessee
need not purchase insurance covering damage due to earthquake.

companies  authorized to dc business in California,  and the policies evidencing
such  insurance may be endorsed with a mortgagee's  loss payable  endorsement in
standard  form  and  shall  be  delivered  to  Lessor  (and  kept by  Lessor  or
encumbrancer),  and renewals  thereof  shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor at
least thirty (30) days prior to their  respective  expiration dates and shall be
kept by Lessor or any encumbrancer.  Lessor shall be named as additional insured
on said  policies  which shall  provide  that Lessor be given  thirty (30) days'
notice of any nonpayment of premium or cancellation.

Each party shall cause each insurance  policy obtained by it to provide that the
insurance  company  waives all right of recovery by way of  subrogation  against
either  party in  connection  with any  damage  covered  by any  policy.  If any
insurance  policy  cannot  be  obtained  with a  waiver  of  subrogation,  or is
obtainable  only by the  payment  of an  additional  Premium  charge  above that
charged by insurance  companies  issuing  policies without waiver of subrogation
the Party  undertaking  to obtain the insurance  shall notify the other party of
this fact. The other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after  receiving
the  notice  either to place the  insurance  with a company  that is  reasonably
satisfactory  to the other party that will carry the insurance  with a waiver of
subrogation,  or to  agree to pay the  additional  premium  if such a policy  is
obtainable at additional  cost. If the insurance cannot be obtained or the party
in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired  refuses to pay the additional
premium  charged,  the other  party is relieved  of the  obligation  to obtain a
waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance involved.

18. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and Federal
authorities now in force pertaining to Lessee's occupancy of the premises.

19. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE. If Lessor is not in default of any of its obligations
hereunder,  the term "Lesser" as used in this Lease means only the owner for the
time being of the land and buildings  containing  the premises,  so that, in the
event of any sale of said land and buildings, or in the event of a lease of said
buildings,  the  transferring  Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely  freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the lessor hereunder; provided that
the purchasing  Lessor of the buildings  assumes and agrees to carry out any and
all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder.

20.  ADVERTISEMENTS  AND SIGNS.  Lessee shall not  inscribe,  paint or affix any
signs,  advertisements,  placecards  or awnings on the  exterior  or roof of the
premises or upon the entrance doors,  windows, or the sidewalk on or adjacent to

unreasonably withhold such consent. Any signs so placed on the premises shall-be

expiration or  termination of this Lease and will repair any damage or injury to
the premises  caused thereby,  and if not so removed by Lessee,  then Lessor may
remove it at Lessee's expense.

21.  DESTRUCTION  OF  PREMISES.  If the  building on the  premises is damaged or
destroyed  by fire,  earthquake,  act of God,  the  elements or as the result of
faulty  construction  or design,  Lessee shall give immediate  notice thereof to
Lessor and the monthly rent due  hereunder  shall be  immediately  reduced by an
amount  equal  to the  amount  of rent  per  square  foot  to be Paid  hereunder
multiplied  by the number of unusable  square feet of floor  space.  If any such
damage or  destruction  is covered by  insurance  as  provided in  Paragraph  17
hereof,  Lessor shall,  at Lessor's sole cost and expense,  repair the damage or
destruction  as soon as  possible  after such damage or  destruction;  provided,

thirty-five  percent (35%),  Lessor shall be responsible for  reconstruction  as
above  provided,  and Lessor  shall be entitled to all real  property  insurance

real property  insurance  proceeds less the portion of such  insurance  proceeds
attributable  to Lessee's  equipment and Lessee's  improvements  which have been
paid for or installed by Lessee,  which  portion  shall be paid to Lessee.  If a
damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake, acts of God or the elements is
not covered by insurance as provided in Paragraph 17 hereof,  Lessor  shall,  at
Lessor's sole cost and expense, repair the damage as soon as possible after such
damage or  destruction;  provided,  however,  that if such damage or destruction
exceeds  thirty-five  percent  (35%) of the  replacement  value of the building,
either party may terminate  this Lease within thirty (30) days after such damage
or destruction.  If a damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake,  acts of
God or the  elements is not covered by  insurance  as provided in  Paragraph  17

reconstruction as above provided,  but Lessor's expense for said  reconstruction

remaining  term of this  Lease,  including  any  options  exercised  by  Lessee,
including  interest 2t a rate of two percent (27) over the best rate  obtainable
by Lessor for funds used to finance such reconstruction.

22.  CONDEMNATION.  The word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this Lease
shall  mean  the  exercise  of the  power of  eminent  domain  expressed  by the
condemnor  in any  writing as well as by the filing of any action or  proceeding
for such purpose by any entity having the right of power of eminent domain,  and
shall include a voluntary sale by Lessor to any such entity, either under threat
of   condemnation   or  while   condemnation   proceedings   are  pending,   and
"condemnation"  shall  occur  upon  the  actual  taking  of  possession  by  the
condemnor.  In the event the demised  premises or any part  thereof is condemned
and such condemnation  materially  interferes with Lessee's use of the premises,
this Lease  shall  terminate,  and Lessor and Lessee  shall be entitled to their
respective  interests  in the  amount of any award  made with  respect  thereto,
Lessee to receive  any  portions  of the award made as  compensation  for moving
expenses,   the  value  of  Lessee's  trade  fixtures,   equipment   alterations
improvements  and  personal  property  which  Lessee is entitled to remove,  and
Lessee's loss of business.  The appraisal of the court, or the condemning entity
if the  condemnation  is not  determined  by a court,  of the amount of any such
award  allocable to such items shall be conclusive.  If the total award be fixed
by  negotiation  and be greater  than the  condemning  entity's  appraisal,  the
portion  attributable  to such items shall be the same  proportion of the actual
award as said items were of the entity's  appraisal.  If such  condemnation does
not  materially  interfere  with Lessee's use of the premises,  this Lease shall
continue  except that rental  shall be reduced for the  remainder of the term of
this Lease,  as may be  extended'  in  proportion  to the amount of the premises
condemned,  using the square  footage of the  building as a base.  In such event
Lessor,  at Lessor's  expense,  shall  repair and remodel the  remainder  of the
premises so that the remaining  premises can be used  effectively by Lessee.  If
Lessor's  portion of the award is not  sufficient  to repair and  remodel,  then
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost of such repairs and remodeling to the
extent they exceed Lessor's  portion of the award in the same manner as provided
in the last sentence of Paragraph 21.

23.  WAIVER.  The  waiver  by Lessor of any  breach  of any  term,  covenant  or
condition  herein  contained  shall not be  deemed to be a waiver of such  term,
covenant or  condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition  therein  contained.  The  subsequent  acceptance  of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any  preceding  breach
by Lessee of any term,  covenant  or  condition  of this  Lease,  other than the
failure  of  Lessee to pay the  particular  rental so  accepted,  regardless  of
Lessor's  knowledge of such  preceding  breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.

24.  NON-DISTURBANCE.  Notwithstanding  any subordination of this Lease,  Lessee
shall  have the  right to quiet  possession  and  shall  not be  disturbed  by a
successor in interest to Lessor,  provided  Lessee is not in default  under this
Lease and so long as Lessee shall pay rent and observe all other  provisions  of
this Lease. 25.  ARBITRATION.  In each case where there is a dispute between the
parties  under this Lease the  dispute  shall be  settled by  arbitration.  Such
arbitration   shall  be  determined  as  provided  in  this  paragraph  and  all
arbitrators shall be disinterested  persons of at least ten years' experience in
an executive  capacity in the active  management of major real properties in the
Northern  California Area. The party desiring such arbitration shall give notice
to that  effect to the  other  Party,  specifying  in said  notice  the name and
address of such person  designated to act as  arbitrator  on its behalf.  Within
twenty  (20) days after the service of such  notice,  the other party shall give
notice  to the  first  party  specifying  the name  and  address  of the  person
designated  to act as  arbitrator  on its behalf.  If the second  party fails to
notify the first  party of the  appointment  of its  arbitrator,  as  aforesaid,
within  or by the time  above  specified  then  the  appointment  of the  second
arbitrator  shall be made in the same  manner as  hereinafter  provided  for the
appointment of a third arbitrator in a case where the two arbitrators  appointed
hereunder  and the  parties  are  unable  to agree  upon such  appointment.  The
arbitrators  so  chosen  shall  meet  within  ten (10)  days  after  the  second
arbitrator is appointed.  If the said two  arbitrators  shall not agree upon the
decision to be made in such  dispute,  they shall,  themselves,  appoint a third
arbitrator  who shall be a competent and impartial  person;  and in the event of
their failure to make such decision to appoint such  arbitrator  within ten (10)
days after their meeting,  the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties
themselves  if they can agree  thereon  within a further  period of fifteen (15)
days. If the parties do not so agree,  then either party, on behalf of both, may
request the then  presiding  judge of any Court having  jurisdiction  thereof to
appoint such third arbitrator,  and the other party shall not raise any question
as to the Court's full power and  jurisdiction  to entertain the application and

thirty (30) days after the appointment of such third arbitrator. The decision in

in all cases be binding and  conclusive  upon the parties.  Each party shall pay
the fees and  expenses of the one of the two original  arbitrators  appointed by
such party' or in whose stead as above  provided such  arbitrator was appointed,

                                      LEASE
THIS LEASE, executed in duplicate as of the 21st day of November,  1983, between
CARL E. BERG and MARY ANN BERG, Trustees of the Berg Living Trust UTA, dated May
1, 1981, as to an undivided 81.01% interest, CLYDE BERG and NANCY BERG, Trustees
of the Clyde Berg Living Trust UTA,  dated December 17, 1981, as to an undivided
11.83% interest,  and CLYDE BERG,  Trustee of Carl Berg Child's Trust UTA, dated
June 2, 1978, as to an undivided 7.16% interest, hereinafter collectively called
"Lessor",  and AMDAHL CORPORATION,  a Delaware  corporation,  hereinafter called
"Lessee".

WITNESSETH:  that Lessor  does  hereby  lease unto Lessee and Lessee does hereby
hire and take  from  Lessor  those  certain  Premises  (hereinafter  called  the
"Premises") situated in the City of Santa Clara, County of Santa Clara, State of
California, and described as follows:

      Parcel 2 as shown on that certain  Parcel Map  recorded  April 13, 1979 in
      Book 439 of Maps,  at Pages 17 and 18,  Official  Records  of Santa  Clara
      County.

together with the improvements ("Improvements") consisting of an office building
which shall contain approximately 65,000 to 85,000 gross square feet. The office
building  shall  be  constructed  on  the  Premises  by an  independent  general
contractor to be employed by and under the supervision of Lessor,  as developer,
in  accordance  with the plans and  specifications  ("Plans")  to be prepared by
Lessor and approved by Lessee. Such Plans will be attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
at such time as Lessee  approves the same and made a part  hereof.  Lessee shall
have the right to approve all  contractors,  subcontractors  and  materialmen as
well as the design, materials and workmanship of the construction.  Lessee shall
also have the right to approve all  expenses  relating to  construction  of said
Improvements before Lessor has contracted for same.

This Lease  shall not  become  effective  and the lease term shall not  commence
unless and until the office building,  consisting of at approximately  65,000 to
85,000  enclosed,  gross square feet, is Fully Complete and Ready for Occupancy,
as defined  herein.  Lessor shall cause the office building to be Fully Complete
and Ready for  Occupancy  no later  than May 1,  1984;  however,  if the  office
building is not Fully  Complete and Ready for Occupancy by such date,  the lease
term shall not commence and Lessor shall not be liable for any damages by reason
of such delay.  Provided,  however,  that if such  office  building is not Fully
Complete and Ready for Occupancy by October 1, 1984 (extended by the length of a
delay directly caused by strikes, acts of God, change orders requested by Lessee
or by any other cause which is both beyond the reasonable  control of Lessor and
not now reasonably foreseeable by Lessor), Lessee, at its option, shall have the
right to terminate this Lease and Lessor shall refund to Lessee any and all sums
which may have been paid by Lessee to Lessor  prior to such time.  Lessee  shall
also have the right to  terminate  this Lease and receive any and all sums which
may have been paid by Lessee to Lessor prior to such time if the  landscaping on
the  Premises  or any  remaining  work on the office  building  exterior  is not
completed in accordance with all of the applicable  Plans within sixty (60) days
after such building is Fully Complete and Ready for Occupancy.  "Fully  Complete
and  Ready  for  Occupancy"  shall  mean  that  (i) all  necessary  governmental
approvals,  permits,  consents  and  certificates  have been  obtained by or for
Lessor for the lawful  construction by Lessor,  and occupancy by Lessee, of said
Premises and Improvements, excluding work attributable to trade fixtures and any
special fit-up  requested by Lessee,  but including the certificate of occupancy
for said Premises and  Improvements  unless Lessee has occupied the Premises and
Improvements  prior to  Lessor's  receipt of such  certificate,  (ii) all of the
building interiors  substantially meet all of the applicable Plans, (iii) all of
the building exterior  substantially meets the applicable Plans, including paved
parking  areas,  and (iv) said building  interior is in "broom  clean"  finished
condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor warrants that
there  shall be no  defects  in the  materials  or  construction  of the  office
building and any other  improvements  constructed by Lessor as provided  herein,
and Lessor shall repair any such defects in the materials or construction of the
office  building and any other  improvements  constructed  by Lessor as provided
herein if any such  defects  are  discovered  within  seven (7) years  after the
commencement of the term of this Lease. Lessor shall also be responsible for the
enforcement of any customary or expressed  warranties  from any  subcontractors,
material or equipment supplier, architect and engineer.

The term shall be for twenty  (20)  years,  subject to the  renewal  options set
forth in Paragraph 33 hereof. Unless Lessee has theretofore elected to terminate
this Lease,  as provided  hereinabove,  the term shall  commence when the office
building is Fully  Complete and Ready for  Occupancy  and (i) Lessee has entered
into  occupancy  of  the  office  building  or  (ii)  Lessor  has  received  the
certificate of occupancy for the office  building,  whichever shall occur first.
Lessee  shall pay Lessor rent  throughout  the term in an amount  determined  in
accordance with Exhibit "B" attached  hereto.  Rental shall be payable in lawful
money of the United  States of  America,  which  Lessee  agrees to pay to Lessor
without  deduction,   setoff  or  demand  at  10050  Bandley  Drive,  Cupertino,
California  95014,  or such place or places as may be designated in writing from
time to time by Lessor,  in advance.  The rental shall be payable on the 1st day
of each calendar month throughout the term of this Lease.

It is  further  mutually  agreed  between  the  parties as  follows:  1. USE AND
POSSESSION.  The Premises  and  Improvements  are to be used for  administrative
offices,  engineering,   research,  development,   warehousing,   receiving  and
inspecting,   manufacturing,   shipping,   employees'  cafeteria,   assembly  of
computer-oriented  electronic equipment and any other legal uses. If Lessee with
Lessor's consent takes possession prior to the commencement of said term, Lessee
shall do so subject to all the  covenants  and  conditions  hereof and shall pay
rent for the period  ending with the  commencement  of the said term at the same
monthly rate as that prescribed for the first month of the said term, subject to
proration for any partial month.  Any such early taking of possession  shall not
be deemed a formal acceptance of the Premises and/or Improvements as being Fully
Complete  and  Ready  for  Occupancy  and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of
Lessee's rights hereunder.

2. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee holds  possession  hereunder  after the expiration of
the term of this Lease with consent of Lessor, Lessee shall become a tenant from
month-to-month upon all of the terms and conditions herein specified.

3. ENTRY BY LESSOR.  Following  reasonable  notice,  and when  accompanied by an
employee of Lessee, Lessor and the agents and employees of Lessor shall have the
right to enter upon said Premises at all  reasonable  times to inspect the same,
to see that no damage has been or is done and to  protect  any and all rights of
Lessor and to post such  reasonable  notices as Lessor may desire to protect the
rights of the Lessor.  Lessor may for a period commencing ninety (90) days prior
to the end of the lease term, or any extension  thereof,  have reasonable access
to the Premises for the purpose of exhibiting  the same to  prospective  tenants
and may place upon said  Premises any usual or ordinary "for sale" or "to lease"
signs.

4.  CONDITION  AND REPAIRS.  Subject to the  WITNESSETH  hereinbefore  provided,
Lessee  shall at Lessee's  sole cost and expense  maintain,  repair and keep the
interior and exterior of the  Premises,  including  the roof and all  structural
components,  and each and  every  part  thereof  and all  appurtenances  thereto
(including,  without limitation,  sidewalks fronting thereon,  wiring, plumbing,
sewage system' heating and air cooling installations,  glazing and skylights, in
or bordering the Premises), in good condition and repair during the term of this
Lease;  damage thereto by wear and tear,  fire,  earthquake,  acts of God or the
elements,  other  casualties and defects in design,  materials and  construction
excepted.  In the event  Lessee  should  fail to start the  repairs  required of
Lessee  forthwith  upon thirty (30) days' written notice by Lessor,  Lessor,  in
addition  to all other  remedies  available  hereunder  or by law,  and  without
waiving any alternative  remedies,  may make the same and Lessee agrees to repay
Lessor as additional  rent the cost thereof as part of the rental payable on the
next day upon which rent becomes due.  Lessee agrees upon the  expiration of the
term of this Lease or sooner  termination  to surrender the Premises in the same
condition as received;  ordinary wear and tear, fire, earthquake, acts of God or
the elements, other casualties and defects in design, materials and construction
excepted.  In the event that any alterations,  repairs or acts of any kind shall
be required to be done by reason of Lessee's  occupancy in  connection  with the
Premises or any part thereof under the provisions of any law,  ordinance or rule
now in force or hereafter enacted by municipal, state or national authority, the
same shall be made at the cost and expense of Lessee.  Lessee shall maintain the
landscaping. All vinyl wall surfaces are to be maintained in as good a condition
as when Lessee took possession,  free of holes,  gouges, or defacements.  Lessee
shall limit  attachments to vinyl wall surfaces  exclusively to V-joints with no
larger than #6 screws.  All repairs,  alterations and  improvements  that may be
required under this Paragraph 4 shall be done at the cost and expense of Lessee.
Lessee will at all times permit any proper notices,  including proper notices of
nonresponsibility,  to be posted and to remain posted until the  completion  and
acceptance of such work.

5. WASTE AND  ALTERATIONS.  Lessee shall not commit,  or permit to be committed,
any waste upon the said Premises.  Lessee shall obtain Lessor's written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  for any alteration or repair
costing more than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00),  and no work shall commence
until two (2) days after Lessee receives Lessor's written consent. Lessor hereby
consents to the installation and removal, upon termination, of computer flooring
paid for by Lessee.

Upon termination of this Lease,  Lessee may remove its property and Lessee shall
restore the Premises to original  condition at Lessee's  expense;  ordinary wear
and tear, fire,  earthquake,  acts of God or the elements,  other casualties and
defects in design,  materials  and  construction  excepted.  Except as otherwise
provided  herein,  any  property  that is installed by Lessee after Lessee takes
possession which has become an integral part of the building shall, if agreed by
Lessor and Lessee,  become  Lessor's  property.  In the event of any  subsequent
additions  or  alterations,  Lessee  agrees to restore to original  condition as
existed when Lessee first occupied upon written request of Lessor; ordinary wear
and tear, fire,  earthquake,  acts of God or the elements,  other casualties and
defects in design,  materials and construction  excepted.  Lessee shall have the
right to remove trade fixtures, equipment and personal property at any time.

6.  ABANDONMENT.  Lessee  shall not vacate or abandon  the  Premises at any time
during the term, and if Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises!
or be  dispossessed  by process of law,  or  otherwise,  any  personal  property
belonging  to Lessee and left on the Premises  shall be deemed to be  abandoned,
subject to applicable  provisions  of law, at the option of Lessor,  except such
property as may be mortgaged by Lessee.

7.  ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING.  Lessee may assign or sublet all or part of the
Premises  without  Lessor's  consent to a parent,  subsidiary or affiliate or in
connection  with a merger,  consolidation  or sale of  substantially  all of its
assets.

With respect to any other sublease or  assignment,  Lessee shall not assign this
Lease,  or any interest  therein,  and shall not sublet the said Premises or any
part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other
person to occupy or use the said Premises,  or any portion thereof,  without the
written  consent of Lessor first had and  obtained,  which  consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and a consent to one assignment,  subletting,  occupation
or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment
or subletting  without such consent shall be void,  and shall,  at the option of
the Lessor, terminate this Lease, providing Lessor has not unreasonably withheld
such  consent.  With  respect  to any other  sublease  or  assignment  except as
provided in the first  paragraph of this  Paragraph 7 of this Lease,  this Lease
shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable,  as to the interest of
Lessee, by operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor,  which shall
not be unreasonably  withheld.  With respect to any other sublease or assignment
except as provided in the first  paragraph of this Paragraph 7 of this Lease, if
Lessee  desires to assign its rights under this Lease or to sublet all or a part
of the  Premises,  Lessee  shall first notify  Lessor of the proposed  terms and
conditions of such assignment or subletting;  and Lessor shall have the right of
first refusal to enter into a direct lessor-lessee  relationship with such party
under  such  proposed  terms and  conditions,  in which  event  Lessee  shall be
relieved  of its  obligations  hereunder  to  the  extent  of the  lessor-lessee
relationship  entered into between  Lessor and such third party;  provided  that
Lessor shall not have the above right of first refusal if the term of a proposed
assignment or sublease including option to extend is for a term not in excess of
five (5) years.

8. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR.  Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, save
harmless  Lessor  from any and all  loss,  damage,  claims of  damage,  demands,
obligations,  cause or causes of action,  or  liabilities  of any kind or nature
(including  reasonable costs or attorneys' fees if Lessor is made a party to any
action to which Lessee's indemnity runs hereunder), by reason of injury or death
of any person or persons or damage to any property of any kind and to whomsoever
belonging,  occurring  on the Premises if caused by Lessee,  Lessee's  officers,
directors,  employees,  agents,  subtenants and assignees,  concessionaires  and
licensees,  except that Lessor  shall be liable to Lessee for damages  resulting
from the acts,  willful  omissions or negligence of Lessor,  Lessor's  officers,
directors,  employees  and agents.  Lessor shall hold Lessee  harmless  from all
damages  arising  out of any  such  damage.  A  party's  obligation  under  this
Paragraph 8 to hold the other party  harmless shall be limited to any excess sum
over  insurance  proceeds,  if any,  received  by the party  being  indemnified,
including,  without  limitation,  all attorneys' fees and other litigation costs
and indemnified expenses incurred by the person.

9.  INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY.  Either (a) the  appointment of a receiver to take
possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee, or (b) a general
assignment  by Lessee for the benefit of  creditors,  or (c) any action taken or
suffered by Lessee under any  insolvency  or bankruptcy  act shall  constitute a
breach of this Lease by Lessee. Upon the happening of any such event, subject to
the applicable grace periods set forth in Paragraph 10 hereof,  this Lease shall
terminate  ten (10) days after  written  notice of  termination  from  Lessor to
Lessee.

10.  DEFAULT.  Any of the  following  events shall  constitute a default of this
Lease:

      (a) Failure to pay rent or any other sums due to Lessor upon the date when
      said payment is due, said failure continuing for a period of ten (10) days
      after written notice of default;

      (b) Abandonment or vacation by Lessee of all of the
      Premises;

      (c) A general assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors;

      (d) The filing of a  voluntary  petition  in  bankruptcy  by Lessee or the
      filing of an  involuntary  petition by Lessee's  creditors,  said petition
      remaining undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days;

      (e) The appointment of a receiver to take possession of substantially  all
      of Lessee's assets or of the leased Premises,  said receivership remaining
      undissolved for a period of thirty (30) days;

      (f) Attachment,  execution or other judicial seizure of substantially  all
      of Lessee's assets or the Premises,  such  attachment,  execution or other
      seizure remaining  undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30)
      days after the levy thereof; (g) Failure to commence repairs,  required to
      be made by Lessee hereunder,  within thirty (30) days after written notice
      thereof  from  Lessor to Lessee;  (h)  Failure to perform  any of Lessee's
      covenants  hereunder,  except those listed in items (a) through (g) above,
      said failure  continuing for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
      from Lessor to Lessee,  unless Lessee has in good faith  commenced  curing
      said failure.

In the event of a default,  and in  addition  to all other  rights and  remedies
Lessor  may have at law,  Lessor  shall  have the option to do any or all of the
following:

      A. RE-ENTRY. Immediately re-enter and remove all persons and property from
      the  Premises,  storing said  personal  property in a public  warehouse or
      elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. No such reentry or
      taking of  possession  of the  Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an
      election on its part to terminate  this Lease,  unless a written notice of
      such intention is given by the Lessor to Lessee or unless the  termination
      thereof  be  decreed  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction.  B.  WITHOUT
      TERMINATION  OF THE LEASE  PURSUE  THE REMEDY  PROVIDED  BY THIS LEASE AND
      CIVIL CODE SECTION 1951.4.  Without  termination of the Lease,  collect by
      suit or otherwise each  installment of rent or other sum as it becomes due
      hereunder,  or enforce by suit or  otherwise,  any other term or provision
      hereof on the part of Lessee  required to be kept or  performed,  it being
      specifically  agreed  that all unpaid  installments  of rent or other sums
      shall bear  interest at the highest  legal rate from the due date  thereof
      until paid.

      Without terminating the Lease, Lessor shall relet the Premises or any part
      thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term  extending  beyond
      the term of this  Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
      terms  and  conditions  as Lessor in its  reasonable  discretion  may deem
      advisable with the right to make  alterations and repairs to said Premises
      necessary for reletting.  Upon such  reletting,  (i) Lessee is immediately
      liable to pay to Lessor,  in addition to any indebtedness  other than rent
      due  hereunder,  the  cost  and  expense  of  such  reletting,   including
      reasonable  expenses  to  prepare  the  Premises  for such  reletting  and
      reasonable attorneys' fees and real estate commissions, and the amount, if
      any,  by which the rent  reserved  in this  Lease  for the  period of such
      reletting (up to but not beyond the term of the Lease)  exceeds the amount
      agreed to be paid as rent by any new Lessee for the demised  Premises  for
      such  period on such  reletting,  or (ii) at the  option of  Lessor,  rent
      received by Lessor for such reletting shall be applied first to payment of
      any  indebtedness,  other than rent due  hereunder  from Lessee to Lessor;
      second, to payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting;  third, to
      payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder;  and, the residue, if any, shall
      be held by Lessor and  applied in payment of future rent as may become due
      and payable  hereunder.  If Lessee has been  credited  with any rent to be
      received  for  reletting  under  option  (i),  and such rent  shall not be
      promptly  paid to Lessor by the new Lessee,  or if such  rentals  received
      from such  reletting  under option (ii) during any month be less than paid
      during  that  month  by  Lessee  hereunder,  Lessee  shall  pay  any  such
      deficiency  to  Lessor.  Such  deficiency  shall  be  calculated  and paid
      monthly.

      PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Lessor does not relet said Premises itself,
      then  Lessee  may  sublet or assign its  interest  in the Lease,  or both,
      pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereunder.  Any reasonable  expenses  incurred for
      renovation and alteration of the Premises in order to put said Premises in
      condition  for  occupancy  by the assignee or sublessee of Lessee shall be
      borne by Lessee.

      C.  TERMINATION OF THE LEASE PURSUANT TO SECTION 1951.2 OF THE CIVIL CODE.
      Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,  Lessor may at any
      time  thereafter  elect to  terminate  this  Lease  for any such  previous
      breach.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in
      addition to any other remedy he may have,  he may recover from Lessee,  at
      the time of award, any and all of the following damages:

           (i) All  unpaid  rent up to the time of  termination,  plus  interest
           thereon at the legal rate.

           (ii)  Between  the date of  termination  and the date of  award,  the
           difference between the unpaid rent and the amount of such rental loss
           that the Lessee proves  Lessor could  reasonably  have avoided,  plus
           interest thereon at the legal rate.

           (iii) The present value of the difference between the unpaid rent for
           the balance of the term after the award and the amount of such rental
           loss the  Lessee  proves the Lessor  could have  reasonably  avoided'
           computed by discounting such amount at the discount  interest rate of
           the Federal  Reserve  Bank of San  Francisco at the time of the award
           plus one percent (1%) .

All of these amounts shall be immediately  due and payable at the date of award,
from the Lessee to Lessor.  In addition to the amount  recovered for damages for
loss of past and future  rents,  Lessor shall be entitled to recover  reasonable
expenses in retaking the  property,  in making  repairs  Lessee was obligated to
make,  in preparing the property for  reletting,  and in reletting the property,
and other such damages as necessary to  compensate  Lessor for all the detriment
caused by Lessee,  including, but not limited to, breaches of specific covenants
of the Lease such as the  promise to  maintain  and the  promise to restore  the
Premises on termination.

11.  SURRENDER  OF LEASE.  The  voluntary  or other  surrender  of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall not
terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, but shall operate as an
assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

l2. LITIGATION EXPENSES. If either party shall bring an action against the other
by reason of the  breach of any  covenant,  warranty  or  condition  hereof,  or
otherwise  arising out of this Lease,  whether for  declaratory or other relief,
the  prevailing  party in such suit shall be  entitled  to its costs of suit and
reasonable attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.  Prevailing  party within the meaning of this  paragraph
shall  include,  without  limitation,  a party who brings an action  against the
other after the other's  default,  if such action is dismissed  upon the other's
payment of the sums  allegedly due or  performance  of the  covenants  allegedly
breached,  or if the plaintiff or cross- complainant  obtains  substantially the
relief sought by it in the action.

13. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all the water, sewage, fuel, gas, oil, heat,
electricity,  telephone janitorial and landscape  maintenance during the term of
this Lease.

14. LIENS. Lessee shall keep the Premises and building of which the Premises are
a part  free and clear of any liens  and  encumbrances  arising  out of any work
performed  or  materials  furnished  by or at the  direction  of Lessee  and all
indemnify,  hold  harmless  and defend  Lessor  from any liens and  encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials  furnished by or at the direction
of Lessee;  provided,  however that such covenant shall not include construction
done by Lessor.  In the event any such lien is filed,  Lessee  shall do all acts
necessary to discharge any lien within thirty (30) days of filing,  or if Lessee
desires to contest any such lien,  then Lessee shall deposit with Lessor one and
one-half  (1 1/2) times the amount of said lien as  security  for the payment of
said lien claim or provide adequate bonding for such lien.

15.  TAXATION.  In addition to all other payments  herein provided to be made by
Lessee and as additional  rental  hereunder,  Lessee agrees to pay to the County
tax  collector  prior  to  delinquency,  all real  property  taxes  and  special
assessments which have become or may become a lien upon the demised Premises (or
are  otherwise  imposed or  assessed  on the  demised  Premises)  or any portion
thereof or upon  improvements  thereon or improvements  added thereto during the
term of this Lease,  provided that any said taxes and assessments  shall be paid
over the  maximum  period  permitted  by law and Lessee  shall be liable on only
those  payments  due during the term  hereof.  If Lessee fails to pay such taxes
and/or assessments,  in addition to all other remedies Lessor has herein, Lessor
shall have the right to pay any or all of such taxes and/or  assessments  and to
recover  reimbursement  therefor from Lessee. Taxes and assessments for the year
in which this Lease  commences and for the year in which it terminates  shall be
equitably  prorated.  Lessee shall have the right to contest any  assessment  or
tax, and in the event that Lessee decides to attempt such contest,  Lessor shall
provide  documents  that are  reasonably  necessary  to that end. If at any time
during  the term of this  Lease a tax or excise on rents or other  tax,  however
described,  is levied or assessed against Lessor, as a substitute in whole or in
part for real property taxes  assessed or imposed on Premises,  Lessee shall pay
before  delinquency  such tax or excise on rents or such other tax to the extent
that such tax or excise  on rents or other  tax is a  substitute  in whole or in
part for  real  property  taxes on the  Premises.  Upon the  passage  of any law
deducting  from the value of real property for the purposes of taxation any lien
thereon,  or changing in any way the taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured
thereby for state or local purposes,  or the manner of collecting such taxes and
imposing a tax,  either  directly or indirectly,  on that certain Deed of Trust,
Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Assignment of Rents ("Deed of Trust") and
Promissory  Note Secured by Deed of Trust  ("Note") on the Premises  executed of
even date herewith by and between Lessor,  as borrower and trustor,  and Lessee,
as lender and  beneficiary,  evidencing and securing an  indebtedness of no more
than $9,000,000.00,  Lessee shall pay such tax before delinquency.  In the event
that a tax or  excise  on rents is  levied  or  assessed  against  Lessor,  as a
substitute in whole or in part for taxes assessed or imposed on the Premises, or
a tax on the Note or Deed of Trust is levied or assessed against Lessor, and the
taxing  authority  takes the position that Lessee cannot pay and discharge  such
tax on behalf of the Lessor, then at the election of Lessor, Lessor may increase
the  rent  charged  hereunder  by the  exact  portion  of such  tax  which  is a
substitute in whole or in part for real property  taxes on the Premises or a tax
on the  Note or Deed  of  Trust,  and  Lessee  agrees  to pay  said  portion  as
additional  rent at the time rental payments are due. Lessee shall be liable for
all taxes levied against personal property, inventory and trade fixtures.

16. USES PROHIBITED.  Lessee shall not use, or permit said Premises, or any part
thereof,  to be used for any  purpose  or  purposes  other  than the  purpose or
purposes for which the said Premises are hereby leased; and no use shall be made
or permitted to be made of the said Premises,  nor acts done, which will cause a
cancellation  of any  insurance  policy  covering  said  building,  or any  part
thereof,  nor shall Lessee sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about
said Premises,  any article which may be prohibited by said insurance  policies.
Lessee  shall,  at  Lessee's  sole  cost and  expense,  comply  with any and all
requirements,  pertaining to said  Premises,  of any insurance  organization  or
company,  necessary for the  maintenance of the  hereinafter  mentioned fire and
public liability insurance covering said building and appurtenances.

17. INSURANCE. Lessee shall maintain during the term of this Lease comprehensive
public  liability,  plate glass and property damage insurance to protect against
any liability to the public,  or to any employee,  agent or invitee of Lessee or
Lessor,  incident to the use of or resulting  from any accident  occurring in or
about the  Premises,  with  limits  of  liability  of not less than One  Million
Dollars   ($1,000,000.00)   for  injury  to  one  person,  Two  Million  Dollars
($2,000,000.00)  for injury to two or more  persons,  and Five Hundred  Thousand
Dollars  ($500,000.00) for property damage.  All policies of insurance  provided
for herein shall:

      (a) Be written by  companies  authorized  to do  business  in the State of
      California,  and rated "AAA" or better in Best's Insurance Reports,  or as
      specifically otherwise accepted by Lessor by written consent.

      (b) Be written as primary policies of insurance and not contributing  with
      or in excess of any coverage which Lessor may carry, and cover, insure and
      name Lessor as an additional assured.

      (c) Contain an endorsement  requiring  thirty (30) days' written notice to
      Lessor prior to cancellation or any change in coverage.

During the term of this Lease,  Lessee, at its expense,  shall maintain in force
insurance  against loss or damage by fire to the  improvements  located upon the
leased Premises in the initial amount of Eight Million  Dollars  ($8,000,000.00)
with extended and vandalism  coverage and special  extended perils ("all risk"),
which amount may be  increased  in future  years based upon bona fide  appraised
increases in  replacement  cost.  However,  Lessee need not  purchase  insurance
covering damage due to earthquake.

Such  insurance  shall be  procured  from a  responsible  insurance  company  or
companies  authorized to do business in California,  and the policies evidencing
such  insurance may be endorsed with a mortgagee's  loss payable  endorsement in
standard  form  and  shall  be  delivered  to  Lessor  (and  kept by  Lessor  or
encumbrancer),  and renewals  thereof  shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor at
least thirty (30) days prior to their  respective  expiration dates and shall be
kept by Lessor or any encumbrancer.  Lessor shall be named as additional insured
on said  policies  which shall  provide  that Lessor be given  thirty (30) days'
notice of any nonpayment of premium or cancellation. Each party shall cause each
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all
right of recovery by way of subrogation  against either party in connection with
any damage  covered by any policy.  If any  insurance  policy cannot be obtained
with a  waiver  of  subrogation,  or is  obtainable  only by the  payment  of an
additional  premium  charge above that charged by  insurance  companies  issuing
policies  without  waiver of  subrogation,  the party  undertaking to obtain the
insurance  shall notify the other party of this fact. The other party shall have
a period  of ten (10)  days  after  receiving  the  notice  either  to place the
insurance with a company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other party that
will carry the insurance  with a waiver of  subrogation,  or to agree to pay the
additional  premium if such a policy is obtainable  at  additional  cost. If the
insurance cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation
is desired  refuses to pay the additional  premium  charged,  the other party is
relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation rights with respect
to the particular insurance involved.

18. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Lessee shall, at his sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and Federal
authorities now in force pertaining to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

19. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE. If Lessor is not in default of any of its obligations
hereunder,  the term "Lessor" as used in this Lease means only the owner for the
time being of the land and buildings  containing  the Premises,  so that, in the
event of any sale of said land and buildings, or in the event of a lease of said
buildings,  the  transferring  Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely  freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder; provided that
the purchasing  Lessor of the buildings  assumes and agrees to carry out any and
all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder.

20.  ADVERTISEMENTS  AND SIGNS.  Lessee shall not  inscribe,  paint or affix any
signs,  advertisements,  placecards  or awnings on the  exterior  or roof of the
Premises or upon the entrance doors,  windows, or the sidewalk on or adjacent to
the  Premises  without the prior  written  consent of Lessor.  Lessor  shall not
unreasonably withhold such consent. Any signs so placed on the Premises shall be
so placed upon the  understanding  and agreement that Lessee will remove same at
expiration or  termination of this Lease and will repair any damage or injury to
the Premises  caused thereby,  and if not so removed by Lessee,  then Lessor may
remove it at Lessee's expense.

21.  DESTRUCTION  OF  PREMISES.  If the  building on the  Premises is damaged or
destroyed  by fire,  earthquake,  act of God,  the  elements or as the result of
faulty  construction  or design,  Lessee shall give immediate  notice thereof to
Lessor and the monthly rent due  hereunder  shall be  immediately  reduced by an
amount  equal  to the  amount  of rent  per  square  foot  to be paid  hereunder
multiplied  by the number of unusable  square feet of floor  space.  If any such
damage or  destruction  is covered by  insurance  as  provided in  Paragraph  17
hereof,  Lessor shall,  at Lessor's sole cost and expense,  repair the damage or
destruction  as soon as  possible  after such  damage or  destruction;  provided
however, that if such damage or destruction exceeds thirty-five percent (35%) of
the  replacement  value of the building,  either party may terminate  this Lease
within thirty (30) days after such damage or  destruction.  If neither party has
terminated  this  Lease,  or  the  damage  or  destruction  is  less  than  said
thirty-five  percent (35%),  Lessor shall be responsible for  reconstruction  as
above  provided,  and Lessor  shall be entitled to all real  property  insurance
proceeds.  If this Lease is terminated,  Lessor shall be entitled to receive all
real property  insurance  proceeds less the portion of such  insurance  proceeds
attributable  to Lessee's  equipment and Lessee's  improvements  which have been
paid for or  installed  by Lessee,  which  portion  shall be paid to Lessee.  If
damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake, acts of God or the elements is
not covered by insurance as provided in Paragraph 17 hereof,  Lessor  shall,  at
Lessor's sole cost and expense, repair the damage as soon as possible after such
damage or  destruction;  provided,  however,  that if such damage or destruction
exceeds  thirty-five  percent  (35%) of the  replacement  value of the building,
either party may terminate  this Lease within thirty (30) days after such damage
or destruction. If damage or destruction caused by fire, earthquake, acts of God
or the  elements is not covered by  insurance as provided in Paragraph 17 hereof
and neither party has  terminated  this Lease,  or the damage or  destruction is
less than said  thirty-five  percent  (35%),  Lessor  shall be  responsible  for
reconstruction as above provided,  but Lessor's expense for said  reconstruction
shall be repaid to Lessor  by Lessee in equal  installments  amortized  over the
remaining  term of this  Lease,  including  any  options  exercised  by  Lessee,
including  interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over the best rate  obtainable
by Lessor for funds used to finance such reconstruction.  22. CONDEMNATION.  The
word "condemnation" or "condemned" as used in this Lease shall mean the exercise
of the power of eminent domain expressed by the condemnor in any writing as well
as by the  filing of any  action or  proceeding  for such  purpose by any entity
having the right of power of eminent domain,  and shall include a voluntary sale
by Lessor to any such  entity,  either  under  threat of  condemnation  or while
condemnation  proceedings are pending,  and "condemnation"  shall occur upon the
actual taking of possession by the condemnor.  In the event the demised Premises
or any part thereof is condemned  and such  condemnation  materially  interferes
with Lessee's use of the Premises,  this Lease shall  terminate,  and Lessor and
Lessee  shall be entitled  to their  respective  interests  in the amount of any
award made with  respect  thereto,  Lessee to receive any  portions of the award
made as compensation for moving expenses,  the value of Lessee's trade fixtures,
equipment,  alterations,  improvements  and  personal  property  which Lessee is
entitled to remove,  and Lessee's loss of business.  The appraisal of the court,
or the condemning  entity if the  condemnation  is not determined by a court, of
the amount of any such award allocable to such items shall be conclusive. If the
total award be fixed by negotiation and be greater than the condemning  entity's
appraisal,  the portion  attributable to such items shall be the same proportion
of the  actual  award as said  items  were of the  entity's  appraisal.  If such
condemnation  does not  materially  interfere with Lessee's use of the Premises,
this Lease shall continue  except that rental shall be reduced for the remainder
of the term of this Lease, as it may be extended, in proportion to the amount of
the Premises  condemned,  using the square footage of the building as a base. In
such event Lessor, at Lessor's  expense,  shall repair and remodel the remainder
of the  Premises  so that the  remaining  Premises  can be used  effectively  by
Lessee.  If  Lessor's  portion  of the award is not  sufficient  to  repair  and
remodel,  then Lessee  shall  reimburse  Lessor for the cost of such repairs and
remodeling to the extent they exceed  Lessor's  portion of the award in the same
manner as provided in the last sentence of Paragraph 21.

23.  WAIVER.  The  waiver  by Lessor of any  breach  of any  term,  covenant  or
condition  herein  contained  shall not be  deemed to be a waiver of such  term,
covenant or  condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition  therein  contained.  The  subsequent  acceptance  of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any  preceding  breach
by Lessee of any term,  covenant  or  condition  of this  Lease,  other than the
failure  of  Lessee to pay the  particular  rental so  accepted,  regardless  of
Lessor's  knowledge of such  preceding  breach at the time of acceptance of such
repair.

24.  NON-DISTURBANCE.  Notwithstanding  any subordination of this Lease,  Lessee
shall  have the  right to quiet  possession  and  shall  not be  disturbed  by a
successor in interest to Lessor,  provided  Lessee is not in default  under this
Lease and so long as Lessee shall pay rent and observe all other  provisions  of
this lease.

25. ARBITRATION. In each case where there is a dispute between the parties under
this Lease the dispute shall be settled by arbitration.  Such arbitration  shall
be  determined  as  provided  in this  paragraph  and all  arbitrators  shall be
disinterested persons of at least ten years' experience in an executive capacity
in the active  management of major real  properties  in the Northern  California
area.  The party desiring such  arbitration  shall give notice to that effect to
the other party,  specifying  in said notice the name and address of such person
designated to act as arbitrator on its behalf. Within twenty (20) days after the
service of such  notice,  the other  party  shall give notice to the first party
specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as arbitrator on
its  behalf.  If the  second  party  fails  to  notify  the  first  party of the
appointment  of its  arbitrator,  as  aforesaid,  within  or by the  time  above
specified,  then the appointment of the second  arbitrator  shall be made in the
same manner as hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third arbitrator in
a case where the two arbitrators  appointed hereunder and the parties are unable
to agree upon such appointment.  The arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten
(10) days after the second arbitrator is appointed.  If the said two arbitrators
shall  not agree  upon the  decision  to be made in such  dispute,  they  shall,
themselves,  appoint a third  arbitrator  who shall be a competent and impartial
person;  and in the event of their failure to make such decision to appoint such
arbitrator within ten (10) days after their meeting,  the third arbitrator shall
be selected by the parties themselves if they can agree thereon within a further
period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree,  then either party,
on behalf of both,  may request  the then  presiding  judge of any Court  having
jurisdiction thereof to appoint such third arbitrator, and the other party shall
not raise  any  question  as to the  court's  full  power  and  jurisdiction  to
entertain the  application  and make the appointment and the person so appointed
shall be the third  arbitrator.  The decision of the arbitrators so chosen shall
be given within a period of thirty (30) days after the appointment of such third
arbitrator.  The decision in which any two of the  arbitrators  so appointed and
acting  hereunder  concur shall in all cases be binding and conclusive  upon the
parties.  Each  party  shall  pay the  fees and  expenses  of the one of the two
original  arbitrators  appointed  by such  party,  or in  whose  stead  as above
provided such  arbitrator was appointed,  and the fees and expenses of the third
arbitrator,  if any, shall be borne equally by both parties. Except as otherwise
provided in this Lease,  said arbitration  shall be conducted in accordance with
the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration  Association,  and judgment
upon any  arbitration  decision  rendered  may be  entered  by any court  having
jurisdiction thereof.

26. NOTICES. All notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing.

27. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease
shall be  binding  upon the  parties  hereto and upon  their  respective  heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

28.  REMEDIES  CUMULATIVE.  The remedies  available to Lessor under the terms of
this  agreement and in law or equity shall be cumulative and the exercise of one
remedy shall not constitute an election of remedies.

29. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

30. CAPTIONS.  The captions in this Lease are for convenience only and are not a
part  of this  Lease  and do not in any way  limit  or  amplify  the  terms  and
provisions of this Lease.

31. SPECIAL MAINTENANCE.  Lessee shall provide maintenance at least bimonthly to
all air conditioning  and heating  equipment and repair or replace any equipment
when  required,  including  the cost of  labor,  when not  covered  by  existing
warranties.  Lessee shall supply Lessor with a copy of a  maintenance  agreement
contract  with  a  licensed  air  conditioning  service  contractor  or  provide
preventative  maintenance in accordance  with accepted  industry  practice.

32. FLOOR TILE. Lessee shall replace floor tile to Lessor's  satisfaction in the
event tile is not in the same  condition at the expiration of this Lease as when
first received,  exclusive of normal wear and tear, damage by fire,  earthquake,
acts of God or the elements, other casualties or resulting from defects in
construction,  materials or design.

33. RENEWAL OPTIONS. Lessee shall have an option to renew this Lease for fifteen
(15)  consecutive  five (5) year  terms,  commencing  on the  expiration  of the
original  term of this  Lease,  by giving  notice to Lessor at least one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the original,  or the then extended
term, of Lessee's  election to exercise this option to renew. The extended terms
shall be upon all the terms and conditions set forth herein,  including, but not
limited to, Paragraph 34 hereof.

34. RENTAL  INCREASES.  The monthly  rental for each five (5) year period during
which this Lease  remains in force and effect,  commencing  with the sixth (6th)
year of this Lease,  shall  increase by an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of
the monthly rental payable during the five (5) year period immediately preceding
each such period.

35. SHORT FORM. Lessee shall have the right to record a short form of this Lease
and Lessor agrees to assist Lessee in such recordation.

36.  ENTRY.  Prior to the  commencement  of the term of this  Lease,  Lessee and
Lessee's  agents and employees may enter upon the Premises in order to study the
same and  perform  tests  which  Lessee,  in  Lessee's  sole  discretion'  deems
necessary.

37.  EXHIBITS.  Exhibits A and B attached  hereto and to be attached  hereto are
incorporated herein by reference thereto.

                               Exhibit B to Lease
                                Rent Calculation

1. Initial Rent.  Lessee shall pay Lessor monthly rent ("Rent")  during the term
of the Lease and exercised  options  determined  in accordance  with this Rider.
Within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the Lease term, Lessee and Lessor
shall  determine  the  initial  Rent  ("Initial   Rent")  and  shall  execute  a
certificate  setting forth the Initial Rent.  The Initial Rent shall be the Rent
for the entire term of the Lease and exercised options,  subject only to (i) the
rental  increases ("7% Increases") set forth in Section 34 of the Lease and (ii)
possible  adjustment of the Initial Rent in accordance with Paragraphs 4, 5 or 7
of this Exhibit and (iii) any other increases provided for in the Lease.

2. Rent Determination. The Initial Rent shall be calculated by taking the sum of
the following:

      (i) An amount  ("Mortgage  Payment")  equal to the monthly  payment due on
      that certain loan ("Loan") made by Lessee to Lessor for an amount equal to
      Costs, as defined below,  amortized over 30 years at an interest rate of 9
      l/2%, payable monthly in advance.

      (ii) The Guaranteed Cash Flow, as defined below.

Notwithstanding  that Initial Rent is calculated  based on Mortgage  Payment and
Guaranteed Cash Flow, as defined below,  Initial Rent shall not be affected when
the Loan or Loans as provided  herein have been fully  amortized.  Initial  Rent
shall  not be  reduced  when the Loan or Loans  are  fully  amortized  but shall
continue as adjusted by Paragraph l only.

EXAMPLE:

      - Amdahl funds Loan at 9.5% amortized over 30 years.

      - Amdahl  exercises  options and continues to occupy  building at start of
      year 31.

      -Cost = $8,000,000.00
<TABLE>

<S>                       <C>       
      Initial Rent   =    $82,080.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 6th Year  =    $87,826.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 11th Year =    $93,973.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 16th Year =   $100,551.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 21st Year =   $107,590.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 26th Year =   $115,121.00
                     x          107%
                     ---------------
      Rent 31st Year =   $123,794.00
                Etc.
</TABLE>

3. Guaranteed Cash Flow. Lessor shall receive a guaranteed net monthly cash flow
("Guaranteed  Cash  Flow")  equal to the  difference  between  (i) the  Mortgage
Payment and (ii) the monthly  payment in advance  required to amortize the Costs
at 11% over 20 years ("Monthly Rent").

EXAMPLE:
<TABLE>
<S>                       <C>  <C>                                
      9.5% - 30 Years     =    8.35% monthly constant made in advance
      11% - 20 years      =    10.26% monthly constant made in advance

           If Costs       =    $8.000,000.00

      Monthly Rent        =    $8,000,000.00 x .01026 = $82,080
      Mortgage            =    $8,000,000.00 x .00835 =  66,800

                               GUARANTEE CASH FLOW    = $15,280
</TABLE>

4.  Permanent  Financing.  Lessee and Lessor  recognize and agree that if Lessee
shall not fund a permanent loan ("Loan") to Lessor for an amount equal to Costs,
as defined in Paragraph 6 hereof, amortized over 30 years at an interest rate of
9 1/2%,  Lessor may obtain  permanent  financing  for the Project  from a source
other than Lessee. In such event, the amount of such permanent  financing may be
less than the aggregate  amount of the unamortized  Costs.  As such,  additional
financing of the Project may be necessary  so that total  financing  shall equal
the unamortized Costs. Any such additional financing may be secured or unsecured
and long-term or short-term,  provided all such  financing  shall be at the best
lending  rate  available  to  Lessor.  Any  such  financing  and the  terms  and
conditions thereof shall be subject to verification and approval by Lessee.

In the event Lessor obtains such additional financing of the Project in order to
achieve  financing in the aggregate amount of the Costs,  Rent payable to Lessor
pursuant to the Lease shall be determined  with reference to a weighted  average
composite  rate  based on the  lending  rates  approved  by  Lessee  for all the
financing for the Project plus the Guaranteed Cash Flow,  provided the aggregate
principal  amount of such financing shall not exceed the  unamortized  Costs and
the Guaranteed Cash Flow remains the same.

In the event Lessor is unable to obtain fixed rate financing for the entire term
of the financings referenced above, notwithstanding the frequency upon which the
interest rate (or other  repayment  mechanism) of such financing may be reviewed
and revised by the lender,  Rent may be reviewed and/or revised as frequently as
any component of the weighted composite rate changes, but in no event more often
than  once in any  12-month  period.  It shall be the  obligation  of  Lessor to
document any changes in the Rent and to provide such  documentation for Lessee's
approval.  Any  adjustment  as provided for in this  Paragraph 4 will be made by
lump sum  payment  to  Lessor  or  credit  to Lessee at the end of each 12 month
period.  Rent for the  following  12 months will be based on actual rates at the
beginning  of the 12-month  period . 5.  Replacement  Loan.  At such time as the
Replacement Loan, as defined in the Note of even date herewith made by Lessor to
Lessee,  shall be funded, the Rent payable to Lessor hereunder shall be adjusted
such that the Rent shall be sufficient to service the Replacement Loan and still
result in Lessor obtaining Lessor's  Guaranteed Cash Flow hereunder.  Lessor and
Lessee shall promptly  execute a new certificate  setting forth the exact amount
of the Rent. At the completion of the  amortization of the Replacement  Loan and
the commencement of year 31 of the Lease term,  monthly Rent shall be calculated
as set forth in the  example  stated in  Paragraph  2, plus any other  increases
provided for in the Lease.

6. Costs. As used herein,  Costs  (hereinafter  "Costs") shall be limited to (i)
the sum of the following  amounts,  fees,  costs and  expenses,  reduced by (ii)
$323, 847.42:

      (a) $5.00 per square foot of the Premises;

      (b) Interest on the difference  ("Carry") between (i) the amount set forth
      in  Paragraph  6(a) and (ii)  $323,847.42,  interest to be  calculated  as
      follows:

           A. Interest on the Carry shall be calculated for the period beginning
           May 1, 1982, and ending on the commencement of the Lease term.

           B.  Interest on the Carry shall be  calculated  and  compounded  on a
           semi-annual  basis until the initial  funding  ("Funding")  of a loan
           ("Security Loan") made by Security Pacific National Bank ("Security")
           for the purpose of financing the  construction  of the  Improvements.
           The interest rate for each 6-month  period shall be the lesser of (i)
           the 6-month  LIBOR rate (or the LIBOR rate for the period most nearly
           corresponding  to  any  period  of  less  than 6  months  immediately
           preceding the  commencement of the Lease term) obtainable by Security
           plus one percent  (1%) or (ii) the prime rate  announced  by Security
           from time to time at its main San  Francisco  office  ("Prime")  plus
           one-half percent (1/2%). Interest on the Carry shall be calculated by
           Lessee  prior to Funding,  subject to Lessor's  reasonable  approval.
           After Funding,  interest on the Carry shall be calculated at the rate
           actually  paid to  Security  for that  portion of the  Security  Loan

      (c) All payments to contractors performing construction work in connection
      with the Improvements;

      (d) Fees for building  permits,  licenses,  inspection  and any other fees
      imposed by governmental entities;

      (e) Fees of engineers,  architects,  attorneys  (including fees payable to
      Lessor's  counsel with respect to the opinion to be delivered to Lessee in
      connection  with the  funding  of the Loan,  as  defined  below,  and fees
      payable to Lessee's  counsel for which  Lessee is  reimbursed  by Lessor),
      consultants and others providing  professional services in connection with
      the  construction  of  the  Improvements  and  the  Premises  (hereinafter
      collectively  called  "Project");  costs of title  insurance,  escrow  and
      recording fees,  survey costs,  revenue stamps,  mortgage tax, if any, and
      such other  incidental  costs and fees which are  directly  related to the
      construction  of the  Improvements;  provided,  however,  Costs  shall not
      include  expenses  attributable to architects,  engineers,  consultants or
      other  professionals  retained  by  Lessor  as part of  Lessor's  staff or
      administrative personnel;

      (f) Interest with respect to construction  financing,  whether advanced by

      calculated  from the date of  disbursement  of  Lessor's  checks or, if no
      check is used,  from the date  Lessor's  funds are  otherwise  expended by
      Lessor on construction costs, and in all other respects in accordance with
      Paragraph 6(b)B);

      (g) Real property  taxes levied  against the Project during the period the

      (h) Insurance  premiums and  completion,  performance,  labor and material

      (i) Utility installation fees; and

      (j) An amount equal to 3-1/2% of the  aggregate  amounts of Sections  6(c)
      through 6(i), inclusive.

7. Litigation.  Reference is made to Paragraph 6 of this Exhibit B, in which the
term "Costs" is defined as certain fees,  costs and expenses  more  particularly
referenced  in   Subparagraphs   6(a)  through  6(j),   inclusive,   reduced  by
$323,847.42.

Lessee and Lessor recognize that the $323,847.42 referenced in the determination
of Costs is the subject of dispute  between (i) Lessee and (ii) John A. Sobrato,
Susan  R.  Sobrato,  Robert  M.  Granum,  II,  and Kay  Granum,  Carl  E.  Berg,
individually and as trustees,  Mary Ann Berg, Clyde J. Berg, individually and as
trustees, and Nancy Berg, individually and as trustee,  (collectively "Sobrato")
in connection with interpretation of the Option to Lease dated April 3, 1979, by
and among  Lessor,  Sobrato and Lessee.  Sobrato  and Lessor have  brought  that
certain suit No.  526891  ("Suite) in the Superior  Court of the County of Santa
Clara seeking the elimination of said  $323,847.42  from the  determination  and
definition of Costs so that Costs would not be reduced by said  $323,847.42.  In
the event a final holding or  determination of the court in such Suit (after the
expiration  of any  applicable  notice and appeal  periods)  shall  require  the
elimination of said $323,847.42  from the  determination of Costs, so that Costs
would not be so reduced,  the parties hereto agree that said  $323,847.42  shall
not be used in the determination of Costs, so that Costs shall not be reduced by
said sum, and said sum shall not be used in the  determination  of Rent pursuant
to this  Lease.  In such event,  Lessee and Lessor  hereby  agree that  interest
("Land Cost Interest") on $323,847.42, calculated for the same period and in the
same  manner as  provided  in  Paragraph  6(b)A and 6(b)B,  shall be included in
Costs, and Rent shall be adjusted  accordingly,  retroactive to the commencement
of the Lease term,  plus interest on any Rent found to be due  retroactively  in
accordance  with this  Paragraph,  from the date such Rent  would  have been due
under the Lease until paid,  compounded  monthly at Prime plus one percent.  The
sum of $323,847.42 plus Land Cost Interest shall be promptly disbursed by Lessee
to Lessor as an  additional  advance  under the Loan.  In  addition to the above
payment which is an additional advance under the Loan, Lessee shall pay Lessor a
lump sum payment of: (i) interest  compounded  monthly at Prime plus one percent
calculated from the  commencement of the Lease until settlement of the Suit or a
final holding or  determination  of the court in such Suit (after the expiration
of any applicable notice and appeal periods),  (ii) interest  compounded monthly
at Prime plus one on the difference between Rent actually paid by Lessee and the
adjusted Rent hereunder,  and (iii)  retroactive  adjusted Rent not paid, all of
which shall not be considered as an advance under the Loan.

Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  nothing herein shall constitute an admission by
any party hereto as to the truth, adequacy or legal sufficiency of any merits or
arguments  in  connection  with  any  suit,  action  or  proceeding  brought  in
connection  with the  issues  referenced  herein and  neither  Lessee nor Lessor
intend to prejudice any legal  position of either party in  connection  with any
suit,  action  or  proceeding;  but  the  parties  intend  to  abide  by a final
determination (after the expiration of any applicable notice and appeal periods)
of a court in such matter.

This  Paragraph 7 is being  written at the request of Lessor in order to clarify
the intentions of the parties with respect to the Suit.

The parties agree that the Option to Lease  referenced  above shall  continue in
force and effect to the extent that it pertains to the Suit,  but that otherwise
as between  Lessor and Lessee  said  Option to Lease is of no force or effect of
any nature.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have executed this Exhibit B as of the
21st day of November 1993.

Subject:   M-3 Lease Occupancy

Dear John:

The City of Sunnyvale approved building M-3 for occupancy on Thursday afternoon,
March 10, 1977.  Therefore,  Amdahl  Corporation  will  commence rent on Friday,
March 11, 1977.

The first month's rent (March 11,1977 through April 10,1977) of $19,000 has been
prepaid as a deposit at the time of lease  negotiations  in 1976.  Next  month's
rent (April) will be prorated  from April 11 through  April 30, 1977.  (19/30 of
$19,000 = $12.033.33)

After all costs are  finalized  and all of the  invoices  paid,  I will set up a
meeting  with you and Tom Lerone to make the  adjustments  for the final  rental
calculations as per lease agreement.

I trust this meets with your satisfaction.

Sincerely,
AMDAHL CORPORATION

Re: 1230 E Arques Avenue, Sunnyvale

Dear Mr. Berg:

As  referenced  in our notice of October  21,  1993  (letter  attached),  Amdahl
exercised  it's option to renew and will continue in possession of said building
for an additional five (5) years beginning March 1, 1994 and ending February 28,
1999.

As the wording in that letter was ambiguous as to the rental  payments due, this
letter will serve to clarify same. The current and  continuing  rent at the time
of renewal will be $23,806.26 is month.  According to paragraph 34 of the lease,
the next rent  increase  will occur at the end of the  current  five year period
under this lease,  on March 12, 1997.  At that time the rent will increase 7% to
$25,472.70.

Please  acknowledge  receipt of this  letter by signing  one  original  copy and
returning it to my attention. Thank you.

Sincerely,
