                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



        NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

        Basis of Presentation
        ---------------------

        Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MHP"), is a
        holding company which owns various subsidiaries, primarily health
        maintenance organizations ("HMOs").    The accompanying unaudited
        consolidated  financial   statements   have   been   prepared  in
        accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
        interim financial information.  In the opinion of management, all
        adjustments considered necessary  for  a fair presentation, which
        consist  solely  of  normal   recurring  adjustments,  have  been
        included.      All   significant   inter-company   balances   and
        transactions have been eliminated.  Certain amounts for 1993 have
        been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

        For further information on MHP and subsidiaries (collectively the
        "Company") refer  to  the  consolidated  financial statements and
        accompanying footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
        Form 10-K as filed  with  the  Securities and Exchange Commission
        for the year ended December 31, 1993.

        Net Income (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
        --------------------------------------------------------

        Primary earnings per share  is  computed by first subtracting the
        preferred stock dividends from net income (loss) to determine net
        income (loss) attributable to  common  shareholders.  This amount
        is then divided by the  weighted  average number of common shares
        and common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants (when
        dilutive) outstanding  during  the  period.    Earnings per share
        assuming full dilution is  reported  when the assumption that the
        preferred  stock  is  converted  to  common  stock  is  dilutive.
        Earnings  per  share  assuming  full  dilution  is  determined by
        dividing net income  (loss)  by  the  weighted  average number of
        common shares and common stock  equivalents for stock options and
        warrants  (when  dilutive)   and   for  preferred  stock  assumed
        converted to common stock. 


        NOTE 2 - HEALTH CARE EXPENSES:

        Total health care expenses for  the  three and nine month periods
        ended September 30, 1994  were  $95.2 million and $283.0 million,
        respectively.  Total health care  expenses for the three and nine
        month periods ended September 30,  1993 include a one-time charge
        of $7.0 million for actual  and  projected health care costs, not
        previously anticipated, primarily  resulting  from changes in the
        Indiana marketplace.  This charge resulted from the restructuring
        of relationships among the Company  and its health care providers
        as well  as  unanticipated  increases  in  high  cost health care
        procedures.  The provider network restructuring which began in 
        <PAGE>
        mid 1992 was  substantially  completed  in  the  first quarter of
        1994.  Prior estimates of health care costs have accordingly been
        adversely affected  by  these  market  conditions  and structural
        changes.

        NOTE 3 - LITIGATION EXPENSE:

        A $3.0  million  litigation  charge  was  recorded  in the second
        quarter of 1994 as a result of a judgment awarding financing fees
        and accrued interest  to  the  plaintiff  in  Donaldson, Lufkin &
        Jenrette  Securities  Corporation  ("DLJ")  vs.  Maxicare  Health
        Plans, Inc. The DLJ claim  was  for breach of contract and unjust
        enrichment by the  Company  arising  out  of an engagement letter
        entered into  between  DLJ  and  the  Company  in  1991 for DLJ's
        assistance in arranging for a  private placement of the Company's
        Series A Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the "Series A
        Stock") which was issued in  1992.   The Company is appealing the
        judgment  and   believes   it   has   meritorious   defenses  and
        counterclaims against DLJ  in  this  matter,  but has accrued the
        liability pending a final ruling.

        Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 -------------------------------------------------
                 Condition and Results of Operations
                 -----------------------------------

        Results of Operations

        The Company reported  net  income  of  $3.1  million for the three
        months ended September 30, 1994,  compared  to  a net loss of $4.7
        million for the same period in  1993.  Net income per common share
        available to common shareholders was $.16 for the third quarter of
        1994, compared to a net loss per common share of $.60 for the same
        quarter in 1993.

        The Company's revenues for  the  three  months ended September 30,
        1994 declined slightly to  $108.3  million from $109.0 million for
        the same period in  1993.    This  decrease  is  a result of a 19%
        decrease in revenues of the Company's Indiana HMO partially offset
        by a 9% increase in  revenues  in  the other operating plans.  The
        decline in the  revenues  of  the  Indiana  HMO  is  due  to a 26%
        decrease in membership,  resulting  from  the restructuring of the
        Indiana provider network,  partially  offset  by  a 9% increase in
        premium  revenue  per  member  per  month.   The Company's overall
        membership decreased  only  2%,  quarter  to  quarter, because the
        other operating plans' membership increased 9%.

        Health care expenses for  the  third  quarter of 1994 decreased to
        $95.2 million from $103.2 million  for 1993.  Health care expenses
        as a percentage of  operating  revenues (the "medical loss ratio")
        was 87.9%  for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1994 as
        compared to 94.7% for  the  same  period  in  1993.  This decrease
        resulted from the  decline  in  membership  in  Indiana and a $7.0
        million one-time charge  recorded  in  the  third quarter of 1993.
        The 1994 third quarter  medical  loss  ratio  for the Indiana plan
        decreased 10.4% and the medical loss ratio for the other operating
        plans decreased 4.7% as compared to the 1993 third quarter.

        Depreciation and amortization expense  for  the three months ended
        September 30, 1994 decreased $594,000  to $439,000, as compared to
        the same period  in  1993,  because  of  the expiration of capital
        leases and certain equipment that  became fully depreciated in the
        first quarter of 1994.

        Net investment income for the  third  quarter of 1994 increased to
        $893,000 from $570,000 in the third quarter of 1993.  This was due
        to higher interest rates and greater cash balances attributable to
        both the  results  of  operations  and  the  $4.2  million  in net
        proceeds  from  the  exercise   of  outstanding  warrants  of  the
        Company's common stock in July  1994.    In June, 1994 the Company
        issued a redemption  notice  on  all 555,555 warrants outstanding.
        Warrantholders who wished to exercise  their warrants had to do so
        by July 29, 1994.   Any  warrantholder  who did not exercise their
        warrants  was entitled to receive the redemption price of $.05 per
        warrant. A total of 420,178 warrants were exercised as a result of
        this notice.
        <PAGE>
        For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company reported
        net income of $5.3 million  as  compared  to $912,000 for the same
        period in 1993.  This  $4.3  million  increase is primarily due to
        the $7.0 million one-time charge recorded in 1993 partially offset
        by a $3.0 million litigation charge recorded in the second quarter
        of 1994.

        Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Certain of  MHP's  operating  subsidiaries  are  subject  to state
        regulations which require  compliance  with  certain statutory net
        worth, reserve  and  deposit  requirements.    To  the  extent the
        operating subsidiaries must  comply  with  these regulations, they
        may not have the financial flexibility to transfer funds to MHP in
        the form of a dividend or  loan.  MHP's proportionate share of net
        assets (after inter-company eliminations)  which, at September 30,
        1994, may not be transferred to MHP by subsidiaries in the form of
        loans, advances or cash dividends  without  the consent of a third
        party is referred to as "Restricted Net Assets".  Total Restricted
        Net Assets of these  operating  subsidiaries  was $19.2 million at
        September  30,  1994,   with   deposit  and  reserve  requirements
        representing $10.3 million of  the  Restricted  Net Assets and net
        worth requirements, in excess of deposit and reserve requirements,
        representing  the  remaining  $8.9  million.  The  Company's total
        Restricted Net Assets  at  September  30,  1994 was $19.5 million.
        In addition to the  $18.1  million  in  cash, cash equivalents and
        marketable securities  held  by  MHP,  approximately $15.4 million
        could be considered available  to  transfer  to MHP from operating
        subsidiaries.

        All of MHP's  operating  subsidiaries  are  direct subsidiaries of
        MHP.  All  of  the  Company's  HMOs  are federally qualified, and,
        with the exception of the Company's South Carolina HMO, all of the
        Company's  operating  HMOs   are   licensed   by  pertinent  state
        authorities.  The  operations  of   the  South  Carolina  HMO  are
        currently   under   Bankruptcy   Court   jurisdiction   pending  a
        reorganization of that entity to operate  as a licensed HMO in the
        state of South Carolina.    The  Company  believes that it will be
        able to  ultimately  resolve  the  South  Carolina HMO's licensing
        situation  with  the  state  of  South  Carolina  as  a separately
        licensed HMO in such state or, alternatively, as a division of one
        of its other operating HMOs to  be  licensed to do business in the
        state of South Carolina. The Company  can not predict at this time
        the required capital infusion, if  any,  which may result from the
        separate licensing of the South Carolina HMO in the state of South
        Carolina or operating it  as  a  division  of one of the Company's
        operating HMOs.    If  infusion  of  additional  cash resources is
        required to ensure compliance with statutory deposit and net worth
        requirements, the Company does  not  believe such an infusion will
        have a material adverse effect on its operations taken as a whole.

        The operating HMOs currently pay  monthly  fees to MHP pursuant to
        administrative  services   agreements   for   various  management,
        financial, legal, computer  and  telecommunications services.  The
        Company believes that  for  the  foreseeable  future, it will have
        sufficient resources to fund ongoing operations, meet the final 
        <PAGE>
        preferred stock dividend  requirement  of  $.56 per share accruing
        December 31, 1994 annually and remain in compliance with statutory
        financial requirements.

        Pursuant   to   the   Company's   plan   of   reorganization  (the
        "Reorganization  Plan"),   the   Company   is   required  to  make
        distributions based on  its  consolidated  net  worth in excess of
        $2.0 million at December 31,  1991 and 1992 (the "Consolidated Net
        Worth Distribution"). In March  1992,  the Company consummated the
        sale of $60 million of  Series  A  Stock.   The proceeds from this
        sale, plus internally generated  cash,  were utilized to redeem in
        April 1992 the entire outstanding  Senior  Notes.  The sale of the
        Series A Stock had the  effect of significantly increasing the net
        worth  of  the  Company.   The   Company   does  not  believe  the
        Reorganization Plan contemplated either the issuance of the Series
        A Stock or the  redemption  of  the Senior Notes, and accordingly,
        the  Company  believes  the  Consolidated  Net  Worth Distribution
        required by the  Reorganization  Plan  should  be  calculated on a
        basis  as  if  the  sale  of  the  Series  A  Stock  had  not been
        consummated and the  Senior  Notes  had  not  been  redeemed. As a
        result of the foregoing,  the  Company calculated the December 31,
        1992   Consolidated   Net   Worth   Distribution   amount   to  be
        approximately $971,000, which  was  deposited  for distribution to
        certain creditors under the Reorganization Plan in March 1993.  In
        addition, the Company  believes  that  any  Consolidated Net Worth
        Distribution  which  under  the  Reorganization  Plan  was  to  be
        utilized to redeem the  Senior  Notes  is  not required since  the
        Senior Notes were fully redeemed.   The committee representing the
        creditors (the "New Committee") has  stated it does not agree with
        the  Company's  interpretation  of  the  Reorganization  Plan  and
        believes that additional amounts may be due under the Consolidated
        Net Worth Distribution provision of  the Reorganization Plan.  The
        Company has,  on  a  number  of  occasions,  responded  to various
        questions raised by and  inquiries  of the New Committee regarding
        this matter.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, the Company elected
        to accrue in its  consolidated  financial  statements for the year
        ended December 31, 1992  the  maximum  potential liability of $7.2
        million on this matter. The  amount that may be ultimately payable
        pursuant to this Reorganization  Plan  provision, if any, could be
        less than the amount accrued.  

        Although, the Company does  not  believe  that it needs additional
        working capital  at  this  time,  it  has  from  time  to time had
        discussions with  lenders  concerning  a  possible standby working
        capital line.    The  Company  cannot  state  with  any  degree of
        certainty  at  this  time  whether  additional  equity  capital or
        working  capital  would  be  available  to  the  Company,  and  if
        available, would be  at  terms  and  conditions  acceptable to the
        Company.

        for the quarterly periods ended  March  31, 1994 and June 30, 1994
        are hereby incorporated by reference and the following information
        updates  the  information  contained   in  the  relevant  subparts
        thereof.


        a.  JURISDICTIONAL  CHALLENGES  AND  APPEALS  TO  THE  CHAPTER  11
        REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS

        On July 9, 1992, the United  States District Court for the Central
        District of California  ("District  Court")  entered its Ruling on
        Appeal (the  "Ruling")  and  held  that  Maxicare Health Insurance
        Company ("MHIC") is a  domestic  insurance company under Wisconsin
        law and not eligible for  relief  under  the Bankruptcy Code.  The
        Company's appeal of the Ruling  and of the District Court's denial
        of the Company's and MHIC's motion for rehearing (the "Appeal") is
        pending before the United  States  Court  of Appeals for the Ninth
        Circuit (the "Court of Appeals").

        The Company  and  the  State  of  Wisconsin  executed a definitive
        settlement agreement dated June  17,  1994  (the "Agreement").  In
        accordance with the Agreement, a reorganization plan providing for
        the reorganization of  MHIC  on  fundamentally  the same terms and
        conditions as the Reorganization  Plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy
        Court, with respect to liabilities  which arose on or before March
        15, 1989, was submitted by the  State of Wisconsin for approval by
        the Wisconsin State Court.   On  July 22, 1994 the Wisconsin State
        Court entered  orders  approving  and  confirming  the state court
        reorganization plan and terminating the reorganization proceedings
        (the "Termination Orders").    On  August  12, 1994 the Bankruptcy
        Court entered  an  order  approving  the  Agreement (the "Approval
        Order").   No  creditor  or  party  in  interest  has appealed the
        Termination Orders or the  Approval  Order which have become final
        and nonappealable.

        On October 11, 1994 the  District Court entered an order approving
        a stipulation between the Company, MHIC and the State of Wisconsin
        withdrawing the Company's  and  MHIC's  motion  to stay the Ruling
        while the Ruling is on appeal.   As required by the Agreement, the
        parties will shortly file a  stipulation with the Court of Appeals
        dismissing the Appeal.  Following  entry of an order approving the
        stipulation dismissing the  Appeal  MHIC  will move the Bankruptcy
        Court for an order dismissing its bankruptcy case.

        The Agreement will be  fully implemented and consummated following
        dismissal   of   the   Appeal    and   MHIC's   bankruptcy   case.
        Implementation and  consummation  of  the  Agreement  will have no
        material  adverse  impact  on   the  Company's  business  and  its
        operations.

        c.  PENN HEALTH

        On February 27,  1991  the  Company  filed  a petition against the
        Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Public Welfare ("DPW")
        with  the  Pennsylvania  Board  of  Claims  (the  "Board") seeking
        damages in excess of $24 million (the "Verified Claim"). The trial
        before   the  Board  of  contractual  issues  pertaining  to DPW's
        liability  to  Penn  Health  Corporation  ("Penn  Health")  on the
        Verified  Claim  and  Penn  Health's  liability  to  DPW  on DPW's
        counterclaim concluded on July 25, 1994. The parties are presently
        engaged in the preparation and  submission of post trial briefs to
        the Board on issues of contractual liability.

        The Company believes  that  it  has  meritorious defenses to DPW's
        counterclaim and that any recovery by DPW will not have a material
        adverse impact on the Company's business or operations. A trial to
        determine damages has been scheduled  by  the Board to commence on
        December 12, 1994.

        DPW has appealed  the  Bankruptcy  Court's  determination that DPW
        waived its sovereign immunity by  asserting an offset against Penn
        Health, to  the  Ninth  Circuit  Bankruptcy  Appellate  Panel (the
        "BAP"). On  September  7,  1994  the  BAP  entered  an order which
        dismissed DPW's appeal for lack  of ripeness and granted DPW leave
        to file a motion to reinstate  the appeal after the Board rules on
        issues of contractual liability.

        d. DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE SECURITIES CORPORATION

        On  May  4,   1992,   Donaldson,   Lufkin  &  Jenrette  Securities
        Corporation ("DLJ") commenced an  action  in  the Supreme Court of
        the state of  New  York,  located  in  New  York  County.   In the
        complaint, DLJ asserted claims  for  breach of contract and unjust
        enrichment by the  Company  arising  out  of an alleged engagement
        letter entered into between DLJ and the Company on or about August
        8, 1991.  On June 19, 1992,  the Company served an answer to DLJ's
        complaint denying that  any  amounts  were  due  to  DLJ and filed
        courterclaims asserting misrepresentation by DLJ and, in the event
        the  Court  determined  that  there  was  an  enforceable contract
        between the Company and DLJ, a separate counterclaim for breach of
        contract.    The  Court  dismissed  the  Company's  courterclaims.
        Following a jury trial,  the  court  entered  a judgement in DLJ's
        favor,  which  awarded   DLJ   damages,   interest  and  costs  of
        approximately $3.0 million.  

        On August 19, 1994  the  Company  filed  an appeal of the judgment
        with the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  New  York, Appellate
        Division, First Department.   The  appellate court has appointed a
        special master  to  conduct  a  settlement  conference between the
        parties, but has not  set  a  briefing  schedule for the filing of
        appellate briefs.

        The  Company  believes  that   it  has  meritorious  defenses  and
        courterclaims against DLJ and  will  prevail  on its appeal of the
        trial court's judgment.  The Company has accrued the liability for
        the judgment pending a final ruling on its appeal.

        e. OTHER LITIGATION

        On May 12,  1992,  a  complaint  captioned  Robert  Roe v Maxicare
        Indiana Inc., was filed  in  the  Superior  Court  of the State of
        Indiana, County of Marion,  Case  NO: 49-D01-9205-CT-0515.  In the
        action,  Robert  Roe,   a   member   of   the  health  maintenance
        organization plan operated by  Maxicare Indiana Inc., ("Indiana"),
        sought a declaratory  judgment  that  he  was  entitled to certain
        health care benefits as an HMO plan member.  A claim for bad faith
        was also asserted against  Indiana  seeking punitive damages based
        on Indiana's  determination  that  Mr.  Roe  was  not  entitled to
        certain health care  benefits  under  the  terms  of Indiana's HMO
        health care plan.   Indiana  moved  the  court  for, and the court
        entered an  order  which,  stayed  proceedings  in  the action and
        compelled Mr. Roe to arbitrate the matter as mandated by the group
        subscription agreement that governs Mr. Roe's HMO plan membership.

        On June 2, 1992 Mr. Roe  submitted a demand for arbitration to the
        American  Arbitration  Association  of  his  dispute  with Indiana
        concerning the provision  of  health  care  benefits.   In January
        1993, the arbitrators awarded Mr. Roe compensation for health care
        and medical service charges he  had incurred, attorney's fees, and
        costs of the arbitration, which amounted to approximately $29,000.

        On March 15, 1994, Joyce  Roe  filed  a third amended complaint in
        the action on her behalf and on behalf of the estate of Robert Roe
        which added  the  Company,  a  former  employee, Indiana's medical
        director and  an  independent  practice  association as additional
        defendants.   In  the  third  amended  complaint  compensatory and
        punitive damages are sought for battery, fraud, misrepresentation,
        coercion, invasion of privacy and bad faith in connection with the
        determination concerning  Mr.  Roe's  entitlement  to  health care
        benefits.  The parties are presently engaged in discovery.

        The  Company  and  Indiana  believe  that  they  have  meritorious
        defenses in the action.   If  an adverse determination is rendered
        in the  action,  the  Company  does  not  believe  it  will have a
        material adverse effect on the  Company's or Indiana's business or
        operations.

        The Company is a defendant  in  a number of other lawsuits arising
        in the ordinary course from  the operations of the HMOs, including
        cases in which the plaintiffs assert claims against the Company or
        third parties that might  assert  indemnity or contribution claims
        against the Company for malpractice,  negligence, bad faith in the
        failure to pay claims  on  a  timely  basis or denial of coverage.
        The Company does not believe  that an adverse determination in any
        one or more of these  cases  would have a material, adverse effect
        on the Company's business and operations.

                 directors to the Board.    Claude S. Brinegar and Charles
                 E. Lewis were  elected  as  directors  at the meeting, to
                 serve  for  a  period  of  three  years  and  until their
                 successors  are  duly  qualified  and  elected.    Of the
                 11,472,949 votes  cast  on  this  matter, 11,440,328 were
                 cast for the election of Mr. Brinegar and Dr. Lewis and a
                 total of  32,621  votes  were  withheld.    Following the
                 meeting, Florence F.  Courtright,  Thomas  W. Field, Jr.,
                 Eugene L. Froelich, Alan  S.  Manne  and Peter J. Ratican
                 continued to serve as directors of the Company.

        <PAGE>
                                ARTICLE III - RENT


        3.01  PAYMENT OF RENT.  During the LEASE TERM, Tenant shall pay the
        Landlord  the  RENTS  set  forth   below,  when  due,  without  any
        abatement, deduction,  or  setoff,  except  as  otherwise set forth
        herein.  Tenant shall pay the  RENTS  in lawful money of the United
        States to Landlord, at the address  set forth in the Lease Summary,
        or to such other  person  or  place  as Landlord may designate from
        time to time.  All payments  of  RENTS shall be paid by check drawn
        on a bank that is a member of the California Bankers Clearing House
        Association.  In the event  the  RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE occurs on a
        day other than the first day  of  the calendar month, the RENTS for
        such first month  shall  be  prorated  on  the  basis of the actual
        number of days in the month.

        3.02  RENTS.  Tenant shall pay  to Landlord the following RENTS for
        the PREMISES.

              A.  BASIC RENT.   The  INITIAL  MONTHLY BASIC RENT (sometimes
        referred to as  BASIC  RENT)  of  $79,242.67  which  amount will be
        increased as provided herein, shall be due and payable on the first
        day of each calendar month.  On June 1, 1996 the MONTHLY BASIC RENT
        shall increase to $94,746.67.   On  June  1, 1998 the MONTHLY BASIC
        RENT shall increase to $110,250.67.

              B.  PERCENTAGE RENT.  Tenant's  PERCENTAGE SHARE is an amount
        no more than   6.85%  (82,688  /  1,206,471 = 6.85%), unless Tenant
        leases  additional  space,  of  all  increases  in  OPERATING COSTS
        incurred  by  the  Landlord   in  connection  with  its  ownership,
        maintenance, and operation of  the  BUILDING computed on a periodic
        basis as set forth in Article 3.03B, which shall be due and payable
        in equal monthly installments  on  the  first  day of each calendar
        month, commencing  the  date  which  is  one  year  after  the Rent
        Commencement Date.  The OPERATING COSTS for the calendar year  1994
        for the BUILDING are  included  within  Tenant's MONTHLY BASIC RENT
        through December 31, 1994.

              C.  ADDITIONAL RENT.  Any  other  amount which Tenant becomes
        obligated to pay to Landlord  pursuant  to the terms and conditions
        of this LEASE, which  amount  shall  be  due and payable within ten
        (10) days of receipt by Tenant  of a NOTICE from Landlord enclosing
        an invoice for such amount. 

        3.03  COMPUTATION OF RENTS.

              A.  BASIC RENT.  As set forth in Section 3.02.A.

              B.  PERCENTAGE RENT.  The INITIAL  MONTHLY BASIC RENT for the
        calendar year  1994 shall  include Tenant's PERCENTAGE SHARE of all
        OPERATING COSTS for the BUILDING for  1994.  Commencing on the date
        which is one year after  the RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE, and thereafter
        throughout the LEASE TERM, Tenant shall pay its PERCENTAGE SHARE of
        6.85% of all annual increases (except in 1995 where PERCENTAGE RENT
        shall only be paid for the period  from that date which is one year
        after the RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE to December 31) in OPERATING COSTS
        <PAGE>
         as described in Article  3.02(B).    Such amounts shall be due and
        payable within ten (10) days of  receipt by Tenant of a NOTICE from
        Landlord enclosing an invoice for such amount.

        3.05  PARTIAL  PAYMENT.    No  Payment  by  Tenant  or  receipt  or
        acceptance by Landlord of  a  lesser  amount than the correct RENTS
        due shall be deemed  to  be  other  than  a payment on account, nor
        shall any endorsement  or  statement  on  any  check  or any letter
        accompanying  any  check  or  payment   be  deemed  an  accord  and
        satisfaction.  Landlord may  accept  such  check or payment without
        prejudice to Landlord's right  to  recover  the balance, treat such
        partial payment as a default or pursue any other remedy provided in
        this LEASE or at law.

        3.06  LATE CHARGE.  Tenant  acknowledges  that  the late payment of
        RENTS   will   cause   Landlord   to   incur   damages,   including
        administrative costs, loss of  use  of  the overdue funds and other
        costs, the exact amount of which would be impractical and extremely
        difficult to ascertain.  Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord
        does not receive a payment  of  RENTS    on or before the date that
        such payment is due,  Tenant  shall  pay to Landlord, as ADDITIONAL
        RENT, a late charge equal to one percent (1%) of the amount overdue
        and shall accrue for each calendar month or part thereof until such
        rental including the late  charge  is  paid  in full.  Late charges
        will be charged from the date due if payment is made after the five
        (5) day  grace  period  which  period  is  five  (5)  business days
        including the due date.  Acceptance  of the late charge by Landlord
        shall not cure or waive Tenant's  non monetary default, if any, nor
        prevent Landlord from exercising,  before or after such acceptance,
        any of the rights and remedies for a default provided by this LEASE
        or at law.  Payment of the  late charge is not an alternative means
        of performance of Tenant's  obligation  to  pay  RENTS at the times
        specified in this LEASE.  Tenant will be liable for the late charge
        regardless of whether Tenant's  failure  to  pay the RENTS when due
        constitutes  a  default  under  the  LEASE.    In  addition  to the
        foregoing, if Landlord does not  receive  a  payment of RENTS on or
        before the date that such payment  is due for any three consecutive
        months, BASIC  RENT  due  by  Tenant  hereunder shall automatically
        become due and payable  in  quarterly  installments due in advance,
        rather than monthly, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3 or
        any provision of this LEASE to the contrary.


                           ARTICLE IV - SECURITY DEPOSIT


        4.01  SECURITY DEPOSIT.   Concurrently  with  Tenant's execution of
        this LEASE,  Tenant  shall  deposit  with  Landlord  the  amount of
        $79,242.67 as a  security  deposit.    This  sum  shall  be held by
        Landlord as security for the  performance  by  Tenant of all of the
        provisions of  this  LEASE,  including,  but  not  limited  to, the
        provisions relating to  the  payment  of  RENTS  and payment of any
        other amount which Landlord may spend by reason of Tenant's default
        or to  compensate  Landlord  for  any  other  loss  or damage which
        Landlord may suffer by  reason  of  Tenant's  default or failure to
        comply with the provisions of  this  LEASE.   If any portion of the
        security deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten
        <PAGE>
         (10) days after  written  demand,  deposit  an amount equal to the
        amount so  used  to  maintain  the  amount  held  by  Landlord as a
        security deposit at $79,242.67.  Tenant's failure to do so shall be
        a default under this LEASE.  Landlord shall not be required to keep
        this security deposit separate from  its  general funds.  If Tenant
        shall fully and faithfully  perform  every provision of this LEASE,
        the security deposit or any  balance thereof together with interest
        due thereon shall be  returned  to  Tenant  within thirty (30) days
        after the  LEASE  TERM  has  expired  and  Tenant  has  vacated the
        PREMISES.

              Each time the  BASIC  RENT  is  increased pursuant to Article
        3.02A Tenant shall deposit  with  Landlord, as additional security,
        as amount equal to the  difference  between  the new BASIC RENT and
        the BASIC RENT in  effect  prior  to  the Article 3.02A adjustment.
        Each time Tenant leases  additional  office  space in the BUILDING,
        Tenant shall  deposit  with  Landlord,  as  additional security, an
        amount equal to  one  month  of  the  BASIC  RENT attributed to the
        additional office space.

              Landlord shall pay interest  on  Tenant's security deposit in
        an annual amount equal to the  interbank interest rate set forth by
        the Federal Reserve Bank of    Dallas  (11th District) in effect on
        the first day of January in the year of each payment.  Said payment
        shall be paid in arrears on  March  1st of each calendar year.  Any
        tenant increase in the  security  deposit  owed  as provided in the

                          ARTICLE VI - TENANT'S INSURANCE


        6.01  POLICIES.  All  insurance  required  to  be carried by Tenant
        hereunder shall be issued  by  insurance  companies qualified to do
        business in the State of  California and rated A-PLUS-XII in Best's
        Insurance  Guide.    Each  policy   shall  name  Landlord  and,  at
        Landlord's request, any mortgagee of Landlord or any ground lessor,
        as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear,
        and copies of all policies or certificates evidencing the existence
        and amounts of such  insurance  shall  be  delivered to Landlord by
        Tenant at least ten (10)  days  prior  to Tenant's occupancy of the
        PREMISES.  No  such  policy  shall  be  subject  to cancellation or
        modification  without  ten  (10)  days'  prior  written  notice  to
        Landlord and Landlord's lender.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
        renewals or "binders" of  any  such  policy  at least ten (10) days
        prior to the expiration  of  such  policy.    Tenant shall have the
        right  to  provide  such  insurance  coverage  pursuant  to blanket
        policies obtained by  the  Tenant,  provided  such blanket policies
        expressly afford coverage to the PREMISES and to Tenant as required
        by this LEASE.
        <PAGE>
        6.02  EXTENDED COVERAGE.  Throughout  the  LEASE TERM, Tenant shall
        procure and maintain,  at  its  own  expense,  policies of casualty
        insurance covering (i)  all  leasehold  improvements (including any
        ALTERATIONS made pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 hereof and
        including   TENANT   IMPROVEMENTS),   and   (ii)   trade  fixtures,
        merchandise and other personal property from time to time in, on or
        upon the PREMISES, in an  amount  not less than one hundred percent
        (100%) of their actual  replacement  cost  from time to time during
        the LEASE TERM,  providing  protection  against  any peril included
        within the classification  "Fire  and  extended Coverage," together
        with insurance against  sprinkler  damage,  vandalism and malicious
        mischief.  The proceeds  of  such  insurance  shall be used for the
        repair or replacement of the  property so insured, except that upon
        termination of this LEASE following a casualty as set forth herein,
        the proceeds under (i) shall  be  paid to Landlord and the proceeds
        under (ii) above shall be paid to Tenant. 

        6.03  PUBLIC LIABILITY.  Tenant  shall  procure and maintain at all
        times during the  LEASE  TERM,  at  its  own expense, bodily injury
        liability insurance  for  injury  to  or  death  of  any  person in
        connection with the construction of improvements on the PREMISES or
        with the use, operation or  condition  of the PREMISES.  Subject to
        Landlord's reasonable approval such  insurance policies may provide
        for large deductibles and/or  retentions commensurate with Tenant's
        financial situation.  Such insurance at all times shall have limits
        of not less than Five  Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for injuries to
        persons  in  one  accident,  not  less  than  Two  Million  dollars
        ($2,000,000) for injury to any  one  person,  and not less than One
        Million Dollars ($1,000,000)  with  respect  to damage to property.
        Such limits may be adjusted from time to time during the LEASE TERM
        to such higher  limits  as  Landlord  may  reasonably request.  The
        limits of insurance coverage  required  to  be maintained by Tenant
        hereunder from time to  time  shall  not  be deemed a limitation of
        Tenant's  obligations  to  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  Landlord
        pursuant to Article 20.

        6.04  WAIVER OF  SUBROGATION.    Any  policy  or  policies of fire,
        extended  coverage  or  similar  casualty  insurance  which  Tenant
        obtains in connection with the  PREMISES  shall include a clause or
        endorsement denying the  insurer  any  right of subrogation against
        Landlord to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior
        to the occurrence of  injury  or  loss.    Tenant hereby waives any
        rights of recovery  against  Landlord  for  injury  or  loss due to
        hazards covered by TENANT'S insurance  to  the extent of the injury
        or loss covered thereby.

        6.05  TENANT'S FAILURE TO INSURE.   If  Tenant fails to maintain or
        obtain any insurance required in this LEASE, Tenant shall be liable
        for any loss or cost resulting from said failure.

        6.06  LANDLORD'S INSURANCE.    Landlord  shall  obtain  and keep in
        force during the entire  term  of  this LEASE, including any option
        terms,  a  policy  or  policies  of  casualty  and  other insurance
        covering loss, injury and damage  in,  on  and to the PREMISES, the
        BUILDING, and the COMMON AREAS,  but excluding the loss, injury and
        damage covered by the insurance  required to be obtained by Tenant.
        Landlord's insurance shall include, but not be limited to, "All
        <PAGE>
        Risk" casualty insurance  and  insurance against sprinkler leakage,
        boiler or compressor explosion and vandalism and malicious mischief
        in an amount equal  to  the  full  replacement cost of the PREMISES
        (less items Tenant is required  to insure), and rental interruption
        insurance, and flood and  earthquake  insurance,  and may be in the
        form of a general coverage  or blanket policy covering the BUILDING
        and other properties.


                      ARTICLE VII - ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS


        7.01  LANDLORD'S CONSENT;  CONDITIONS.    Except  for  the original
        Tenant  Improvements,  Tenant  shall   not  make  any  alterations,
        additions, improvements,  or  decorations  in  or  to  the PREMISES
        ("ALTERATIONS") without  Landlord's  prior  written  consent except
        that Tenant shall have the right to make non-structural ALTERATIONS
        that do not affect the electrical  and HVAC systems and that do not
        cost more  than  $30,000  per  ALTERATION  and  do  not  affect the
        exterior  appearance  of  the  BUILDING,  upon  written  notice  to
        Landlord  including  plans  or  adequate  descriptive  information,
        without obtaining  Landlord's  consent  thereto.    In  the case of
        ALTERATIONS for which Landlord's  consent  is required,  Landlord's
        consent may not be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed, but may be
        conditioned upon the following:

              A.  The ALTERATIONS do not  affect the exterior appearance of
        the BUILDING.

              B.  The  ALTERATIONS  do  not  affect  the  structure  of the
        BUILDING or any of the  mechanical,  HVAC,  or other systems of the
        BUILDING.

              C.  Tenant's  submission  to   Landlord   of  all  plans  and
        specifications (collectively "PLANS")  relating to the ALTERATIONS,
        for Landlord's prior written approval,  which approval shall not be
        unreasonably withheld or delayed.   All  PLANS shall be prepared at
        Tenant's sole cost and  expense  and shall contain a representation
        and warranty from Tenant to  Landlord  that the ALTERATIONS will be
        constructed and maintained in compliance with all applicable LAWS.

              D.  Tenant's payment to Landlord of all direct costs incurred
        by Landlord because  of  Tenant's  ALTERATIONS,  including, but not
        limited to, costs incurred for review of the PLANS and in reviewing
        the  progress  of  the  ALTERATIONS,  Landlord,  by  reviewing  and
        approving the PLANS, shall  not  become  liable for the accuracy or
        correctness of the PLANS or the failure of the PLANS or ALTERATIONS
        to comply with applicable LAWS.

              E.  Landlord shall have  the  right  to  post notices of non-
        responsibility on the PREMISES  and  such other notices as Landlord
        may reasonable  deem  necessary  to  protect  its  interest  in the
        BUILDING.

              F.  Tenant must obtain  all  necessary  approvals and permits
        from all appropriate governmental authorities prior to construction
        of the ALTERATIONS.
        <PAGE>
        7.02  PERFORMANCE.  Tenant shall  have  the  right to construct the
        ALTERATIONS or to cause  the  ALTERATIONS to be constructed subject
        to  the  reasonable  approval  of  Landlord.    All  work  shall be
        performed pursuant to  the  plans  and  specifications submitted by
        Tenant.  Tenant's plans  and  specifications shall be in compliance
        with Title 24 of the  California Administrative Code, The Americans
        With Disabilities Act, and  all  other  laws, codes and ordinances,
        and with the  requirements  of  all  carriers  of  insurance on the
        PREMISES and  on  the  BUILDING,  the  Board  of Underwriters, Fire
        Rating  Bureau,  or  similar  organization.    All  work  shall  be
        performed in a diligent first-class manner,  and shall be done in a
        manner so as not to  interfere  with any other tenants or occupants
        of the  BUILDING.    All  reasonable  costs  and  professional fees
        incurred by Landlord  by  virtue  of  Tenant's  construction of its
        ALTERATIONS  or  interference  with  the  normal  operation  of the
        BUILDING shall be for the  account  of Tenant, and shall become due
        with the payment of RENTS  next  due  after  receipt by Tenant of a
        bill for  such  costs.    Tenant  shall  carry Workers Compensation
        Insurance  and  a  policy   of  general  liability  insurance  with
        completed operations endorsements covering  the ALTERATIONS, all in
        accordance with the  requirements  of  Article  6.   The quality of
        Tenant's construction must  be  at  least  equal  to the quality of
        building standard construction being  installed  in the BUILDING at
        the time the ALTERATIONS are commenced.  

        7.03  LIENS.    Tenant  shall  pay  when  due  all  costs  for work
        performed and materials supplied to the PREMISES.  Tenant shall not
        allow any lien  or  other  notice  of  violations  arising from the
        ALTERATIONS or from any  other  work,  labor, services or materials
        done for or supplied to Tenant, or to the PREMISES, to encumber the
        BUILDING or Tenant's interest in  the  PREMISES.  No materials used
        in Tenant's ALTERATIONS shall  be  subject to security interests or
        liens.  Tenant shall indemnify,  defend, and hold Landlord harmless
        from and against any  and  all  mechanic's liens, stop notices, and
        other encumbrances or  claims  filed  against  the  BUILDING or the
        PREMISES in connection  with  the  ALTERATIONS,  or any other work,
        labor or services or materials  supplied to Tenant or the PREMISES.
        Tenant shall satisfy or discharge all liens, stop notices, or other
        encumbrances within ten (10) days after such notice is filed.

        7.04  END OF TERM.   All  ALTERATIONS  shall  become  a part of the
        PREMISES and shall become the  property of Landlord upon expiration
        or earlier termination of the  LEASE.  Landlord reserves the right,
        however, to require Tenant to  remove such ALTERATIONS prior to the
        expiration of the LEASE TERM provided, however, that Landlord shall
        not have such right  to  require  Tenant  to remove any ALTERATIONS
        unless, at the time of  Tenant's  submission of the PLANS, Landlord
        notifies Tenant that Landlord  will  require  such removal prior to
        the expiration of the LEASE  TERM.   In the event Landlord requires
        Tenant to remove any  ALTERATIONS,  Tenant shall repair and restore
        the PREMISES to its  original  condition  prior to the ALTERATIONS,
        reasonable wear and tear excepted.   Any ALTERATIONS required to be
        removed, but left in the  PREMISES,  may  be removed by Landlord at
        Tenant's sole  cost  and  expense.    All  damages  to the PREMISES
        incurred thereby may be repaired  by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost
        and expense.  No action  by Landlord hereunder shall waive Tenant's
        default for failure to comply with this Article.
        <PAGE>
        7.05  ALTERATIONS BY LANDLORD.   Landlord  shall have the right, at
        any time, and without  incurring  any  liability to Tenant, to make
        changes,   alterations,   additions,   improvements,   repairs  and
        replacements in or to the  BUILDING  and the fixtures and equipment
        used therein, including changes  in  the arrangement, number and/or
        location of entrances  and  exits,  corridors,  doors and doorways,
        elevators,  stairs,   toilets,   parking   spaces,  parking  areas,
        driveways, walkways, loading areas or  other public or common areas
        of the BUILDING.   Upon  reasonable  notice to Tenant, Landlord may
        also change the name,  number  or  designation by which BUILDING is
        commonly known.  Landlord  shall  give  Tenant reasonable notice of
        work to be done  and  said  work  shall  be  completed so as not to
        unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business.  


                           ARTICLE VIII - EMINENT DOMAIN


        8.01  COMPLETE TAKING.    If  the  entire  BUILDING  or  the entire
        PREMISES is taken by condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation, or
        in any other manner for  any  public or quasi-public use or purpose
        ("Eminent Domain"), this  LEASE  and  the  term  and estate granted
        shall terminate  on  the  earlier  of  (i)  the  date  title to the
        BUILDING passes from the  Landlord,  or  (ii) the date the PREMISES
        are occupied  by  the  condemning  or  purchasing  authority.   All
        amounts due under the LEASE  shall  be  prorated  as of the date of
        termination based on a 360-day year  and paid by Tenant to Landlord
        on the termination date.

        8.02  PARTIAL TAKING.  If  a  part  of  the BUILDING other than any
        portion of the  PREMISES  is  taken  by  Eminent Domain, this LEASE
        shall remain unaffected,  and  Tenant's  obligations, including the
        obligations to pay RENTS,  shall  remain  in  full force and effect
        unless otherwise  provided  in  this  LEASE.    If  more than fifty
        percent (50%) of the RENTABLE SQUARE  FEET of the PREMISES is taken
        by Eminent Domain, Landlord may, however, terminate this LEASE upon
        NOTICE to Tenant  given  within  ninety  (90)  days  of the taking,
        specifying a lease termination date to  be no less than thirty (30)
        nor more than ninety (90) days from  the date NOTICE is given.  The
        LEASE shall terminate as of  the  date specified in the NOTICE, and
        all amounts due shall be prorated to the LEASE termination date.

              Tenant shall have the  right  to  terminate the LEASE if more
        than twenty  percent  (20%)  of  the  RENTABLE  SQUARE  FEET of the
        PREMISES is taken by  Eminent  Domain, providing the remaining part
        of the PREMISES is not suitable for Tenant to conduct its business,
        as determined by Tenant, from the PREMISES.  Tenant shall also have
        the right to terminate the LEASE  if more than twenty percent (20%)
        of the RENTABLE SQUARE  FEET  of  the  BUILDING is taken by Eminent
        Domain and such taking  materially interferes with Tenant's ability
        (as determined by Tenant) to  conduct its business in the PREMISES.
        Tenant may terminate the LEASE upon NOTICE to Landlord given within
        sixty (60) days of such taking, specifying a lease termination date
        no less than thirty (30)  nor  more  than ninety (90) days from the
        date of the NOTICE.  The  LEASE  shall terminate as of the date set
        forth in the NOTICE, and all  amounts  due under the LEASE shall be
        prorated to the LEASE termination date.  In the event the BUILDING 
        <PAGE>
        or PREMISES are partially  taken,  and  Landlord  and Tenant do not
        elect, or do not have  the  right, to terminate the LEASE, Landlord
        shall diligently commence to repair  or restore the PREMISES to its
        original condition, reasonable  wear  and  tear  and  the taking by
        Eminent Domain  excepted.    Landlord's  obligation  to  replace or
        restore does not include anything  other than those items described
        in Article 9.01.  TENANT  IMPROVEMENTS and anything else other than
        those  items  described  in   Article   9.01   shall  be  the  sole
        responsibility of Tenant.    If  the  RENTABLE  SQUARE  FEET of the
        PREMISES  is  reduced  by  Eminent  Domain  and  the  LEASE  is not
        terminated, Tenant's RENTS shall be reduced proportionately.

        8.03  AWARD.  Except as otherwise  provided herein, in the event of
        Eminent Domain, the entire  award  for  such taking shall belong to
        the Landlord, and Tenant waives and  assigns to Landlord any of its
        rights, title, and interest to  any  award  given for the taking of
        the PREMISES or for the leasehold  estate of the Tenant.  Except as
        provided herein, Tenant shall not  be  entitled to receive any part
        of the award.  

        8.04  TEMPORARY TAKING.  In the event all or a part of the PREMISES
        is taken for a limited  period  of  time, the LEASE shall remain in
        full force and effect and  subject to Landlord's performance of its
        obligations under the LEASE  Tenant  shall  observe and perform all
        the terms, conditions  and  covenants  of  the LEASE, including the
        covenant to pay RENTS,  provided,  however,  that if such temporary
        taking covers more than twenty percent (20%) of the RENTABLE SQUARE
        FEET of the PREMISES and lasts for  more than one year or occurs in
        the last year of the  LEASE  TERM,  Tenant  shall have the right to
        terminate this LEASE as  provided  in  Section  8.02 above.  Tenant
        shall receive the entire condemnation award made for such temporary
        taking, unless the  taking  extends    for  a    period   after the
        expiration date of the LEASE.    In  such event, any award made for
        the period  after  the  expiration  of  the  LEASE  shall belong to
        Landlord.  In the event the taking expires prior to the termination
        of the Lease, Tenant shall  receive  any award made for restoration
        of the  PREMISES,  and  shall  diligently  proceed  to  restore the
        PREMISES  to  its  original  condition,  reasonable  wear  and tear
        excepted.  Such  restoration  shall  be  at  Tenant's sole cost and
        expense.


                       ARTICLE IX - MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS


        9.01  LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS.  Except  as  provided in Article 9.03
        below, Landlord shall in a  first class manner, maintain throughout
        the LEASE TERM the  exterior  structure  of the BUILDING (including
        the foundation, exterior walls of the  BUILDING and the roof of the
        BUILDING) and all  COMMON  AREAS.    Subject  to  the provisions of
        Article 14.04, Landlord shall  also  maintain the HVAC, electrical,
        mechanical, water, gas, and other  systems of the BUILDING.  Tenant
        shall  be  exempt  from  any  pass  thru  for  capital expenditures
        necessary to remedy any  latent  defect and deferred maintenance in
        the BUILDING in excess of $50,000 per occurrence.  
        <PAGE>
              Tenant  acknowledges  that  Landlord  has  an  obligation  to
        maintain the BUILDING and  COMMON  AREAS  in  a first class manner;
        Tenant will not object to Landlord's staffing levels for operating,
        maintaining and securing  the  BUILDING  and COMMON AREAS, provided
        that such staffing levels  are  reasonable,  and provided that such
        staffing levels are consistent with the quality and number of staff
        that have been  in  effect  in  the  five  (5) years preceding this
        lease.

        9.02  TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS.    Tenant,  at  Tenant's  sole cost and
        expense, shall maintain the  PREMISES  in good order, condition and
        repair, reasonable  wear  and  tear  excepted,  including,  but not
        limited to, the interior  surfaces  of the ceilings, walls, floors,
        and all  doors,  windows,  fixtures,  switches, furnishings, TENANT
        IMPROVEMENTS, and  equipment  installed  by  or  at  the expense of
        Tenant.  Landlord shall have  no  obligations to repair or maintain
        the PREMISES except as provided  in Article 9.01 above, and Article
        14.01.

        9.03  EXCEPTIONS  TO  LANDLORD'S  OBLIGATIONS.    Tenant  expressly
        agrees that Landlord shall not  be  responsible for, and shall have
        no obligation to  repair,  any  damage  to  the  PREMISES or to the
        BUILDING (including the  structure  thereof)  or to any mechanical,
        electrical, HVAC, gas,  water,  or  other  systems of the BUILDING,
        caused  by  (i)  Tenant's  activities  in  the  PREMISES;  (ii) the
        performance or  existence  of  TENANT  IMPROVEMENTS or ALTERATIONS;
        (iii) the installation, use  or  operation  of Tenant's Property in
        the PREMISES; (iv) the movement of Tenant's Property into or out of
        the PREMISES; or  (v)  any  act,  omission,  misuse,  or neglect by
        Tenant, or its officers,  partners, employees, agents, contractors,
        servants or invitees.    All  damage  so  caused  shall promptly be
        repaired by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

        9.04  RIGHT OF ENTRY.   Tenant expressly acknowledges that Landlord
        shall have, at all reasonable  times,  the  right to enter upon the
        PREMISES for any  of  the  following  purposes:  (a) to inspect the
        PREMISES having given at least  twenty-four (24) hours prior NOTICE
        to tenant; (b) to supply janitorial service, shared tenant services
        and any other services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; (c) to
        submit the PREMISES to  prospective  purchasers  at any time during
        the term or tenants during the last twelve (12) months of term; (d)
        to post notices of non-responsibility;  or (e) to alter, improve or
        repair the PREMISES with reasonable  notice or any other portion of
        the BUILDING provided that  it  does  not materially affect Tenants
        use of the  premises.    Landlord  shall  have  the  right to erect
        scaffolding or such other equipment as is reasonably necessary to
        effectuate repairs, and  Landlord  shall  in  no  way  be liable to
        Tenant for any inconvenience, annoyance or loss of business thereby
        caused  to  Tenant,  and  Tenant  shall  not  be  entitled  to rent
        abatement.  Unless the activity prevents Tenant from conducting its
        business, Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to provide Tenant
        with access to the PREMISES and to complete the work diligently, in
        a first-class manner, and  in  a  manner  that will cause as little
        disruption to Tenant's business as  is reasonably possible.  Tenant
        agrees to give Landlord NOTICE  of  any repairs required to be made
        which may be the responsibility of Landlord.  Tenant shall also 
        <PAGE>
        immediately give NOTICE to Landlord  of  any fire or other casualty
        in the BUILDING or  PREMISES.    Before undertaking any repairs for
        which Tenant is responsible, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with
        NOTICE of such intent,  except  in  the  event  of an emergency, in
        which event Tenant shall  provide  Landlord  with NOTICE as soon as
        practicable.  Landlord may post notices of non-responsibility prior
        to the commencement of such work.

              Landlord shall at all times have  and retain a key with which
        to unlock all  of  the  doors  in  and  to  the PREMISES, excluding
        Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use
        any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors
        in an emergency in order to  obtain  entry to the PREMISES, and any
        entry to the PREMISES  obtained  by  Landlord  by any of said means
        shall not under any circumstances  be  construed  or deemed to be a
        forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the PREMISES, or
        any eviction of Tenant from the PREMISES or any portion thereof.

        9.05  CONSTRUCTION.  Tenant expressly  acknowledges that during the
        course of the LEASE TERM, portions  of the BUILDING and the PROJECT
        may  require   additional   construction.      In  completing  such
        construction, Landlord  may  cause  Tenant  temporary annoyance and
        inconvenience.  Such temporary annoyance and/or inconvenience shall
        not give rise to any  claim  by  Tenant against Landlord because of
        such condition or activity or allow Tenant to abate rent unless the
        activity prevents Tenant from conducting its business.

        9.06  SECURITY.  The  Landlord  shall  provide  minimum security in
        accordance with Exhibit J.

        9.07  CONTINUATION  OF  SERVICE.    Subject  to  the  provisions of
        Section  23.05,  Landlord  expressly   agrees  to  provide  certain
        services, including  a  gymnasium,  auditorium  and  cafeteria (the
        "SERVICES") which are,  at  a  minimum,  of  substantially the same
        quality as the SERVICES being  provided by Landlord in the BUILDING
        and adjacent properties on the date of the execution of this LEASE.
        Landlord's obligation to provide the SERVICES shall terminate three
        years from the RENT  COMMENCEMENT  DATE.   However, if the SERVICES
        are discontinued thereafter  during  the  LEASE  term, Tenant shall
        have the right  to  terminate  the  LEASE  provided  the failure to
        provide services is not  the  result  of eminent domain, government
        action  or  force   majeure   or  circumstances  beyond  Landlord's
        reasonable control.


                         ARTICLE X - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION


        10.01  RESTORATION.  Landlord shall promptly and with due diligence
        repair any damage to the  BUILDING  in accordance with Article 9.01
        and applicable laws upon receipt  of  written notice to Landlord of
        such damage, and the receipt by Landlord of proceeds from insurance
        policies covering  the  damage;  provided,  however,  that Landlord
        shall have no obligation to repair  the PREMISES or the BUILDING in
        the event any of the following is true:
        <PAGE>
                   (i)    Intentionally deleted. 

                   (ii)   Forty (40%) percent  of  the  PREMISES is totally
                          destroyed;

                   (iii)  The BUILDING is so  damaged  so  as to require an
                          expenditure in excess of  twenty percent (20%) of
                          the full  insurable  value  of  the  BUILDING, as
                          determined by a contractor reasonably selected by
                          Landlord;

                   (iv)   A casualty  occurs  with  two  (2)  years or less
                          remaining in the LEASE TERM, excluding options;

                   (v)    In Landlord's reasonable  estimation, the time to
                          repair the damage would exceed one hundred twenty
                          (120) days; or

                   (vi)   The  period  for  which   rent  would  be  abated
                          pursuant to Article 10.02  below would be greater
                          than six (6) months.

        10.02  RENT ABATEMENT/TERMINATION.   If  Landlord has no obligation
        to repair the premises under  Section 10.01 and Landlord elects not
        to repair the premises under  Section 10.01, Tenant's obligation to
        pay rent shall be abated as of  the date of the casualty and Tenant
        may, at its option, terminate this  lease.   If the Landlord has an
        obligation to repair the  Building  or Premises under Section 10.01
        and has determined to  undertake  said  repairs yet the PREMISES is
        uninhabitable by  reason  of  fire  or  other  casualty,  or if the
        BUILDING is so damaged or destroyed  by fire or other casualty that
        Tenant has no access to the PREMISES, Tenant's RENT shall be abated
        in the  proportion  that  the  untenantable  rentable  area  of the
        PREMISES bears to the total  rentable  area  of the PREMISES.  RENT
        shall be abated from the  date  of  the damage or destruction until
        that  part  of  the   PREMISES   that  had  been  uninhabitable  is
        substantially  repaired,  or  until   access  to  the  PREMISES  is
        restored, as the case may be.    In no event shall Tenant's RENT be
        abated for any portion of the PREMISES which is occupied by Tenant.

               Tenant's RENTS shall  not  be  abated  if  (i) the damage or
        destruction is repaired  within  five  (5)  days after Landlord has
        knowledge of  or  receives  notice  of  the  casualty;  or (ii) the
        Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees, officers, partners or invitees,
        or anyone claiming through Tenant, is responsible for the damage or
        destruction.  In the event the PREMISES are damaged or destroyed or
        become inaccessible and the  Landlord  has  an obligation to repair
        under Section  10.01,  Landlord  shall  have  the  right to provide
        Tenant with  temporary  office  space  in  the  BUILDING reasonably
        suited for Tenant to conduct  its  business, and, if such temporary
        space is available,  Tenant  shall  have  precedence  in using said
        space subject only the use  of  said temporary space by Landlord or
        its' affiliates.  Such  alternative  space  shall  contain  as many
        rentable square feet as the  uninhabitable portion of the Premises,
        and the RENTS for alternative space  shall be the same as the RENTS
        for the  Premises.    Landlord  shall  pay  the expenses reasonably
        incurred by Tenant in moving to the alternative space.  In such 
        <PAGE>
        event, Tenant's RENT shall  not  be  abated.    Tenant shall not be
        entitled to any damages for  any inconvenience, loss of business or
        annoyance suffered by Tenant by reason of the damage or destruction
        or by the repair or  restoration  of  the PREMISES or the BUILDING.
        Landlord shall use its best  efforts  to promptly repair any damage
        pursuant to this Article, and to the extent possible, not interfere
        with Tenant's use and occupancy of the PREMISES, but Landlord shall
        not be obligated to perform any  repairs on an overtime or premium-
        pay basis.

        10.03  TENANT'S PROPERTY.    Landlord  shall  not  be  obligated to
        repair or replace  anything  other  than  those  items described in
        Article 9.01 in the event of  damage or destruction to the PREMISES
        or BUILDING.    In  the  event  Landlord  restores  the PREMISES or
        BUILDING  pursuant  to  this   Article,  Tenant  shall  immediately
        thereafter repair or  restore  all  TENANT  IMPROVEMENTS damaged or
        destroyed.


                         ARTICLE XI - DEFAULT AND REMEDIES


        11.01  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  RENTS where such failure
        continues for five (5) days  after written NOTICE that such payment
        was not paid when due.

               B.  Failure by Tenant  to  observe  or  perform any material
        provision of  the  LEASE,  other  than  the  provisions relating to
        payment  of  RENTS,  where  such  failure  continues  for  ten (10)
        business days after written NOTICE  from Landlord to Tenant of such
        failure; provided, however, that  if  the  nature of the default is
        such that the  same  cannot  reasonably  be  cured  within ten (10)
        business days but can be cured within a period of one hundred (100)
        days, Tenant shall not be deemed  to  be in default if Tenant shall
        within such period commence to cure and diligently pursues the same
        to completion within the period of  one hundred (100) days plus any
        reasonable time necessary absent  a  catastrophic event or casualty
        during said 100 days.

               C.  The making by Tenant or  by  any guarantor of this LEASE
        of any general assignment for  the benefit of creditors; the filing
        against Tenant,  or  against  any  guarantor  of  this  LEASE of an
        involuntary petition under  the  United  States  Bankruptcy Code or
        similar law  for  the  relief  of  debtors  which  petition  is not
        dismissed within sixty (60) days  from  the  date of filing, or the
        filing by Tenant or  any  Guarantor  of  this  LEASE of a voluntary
        petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar law for
        the relief of debtors; the appointment  of a trustee or receiver to
        take possession of substantially all  of Tenant's assets located at
        the PREMISES, or the assets  of  any  guarantor of the LEASE, or of
        Tenant's interest or  of  any  guarantor's  interest in this LEASE,
        where possession is  not  restored  to  Tenant  or to any guarantor
        within thirty (30)  days;  or  the  attachment,  execution or other
        judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets or 
        <PAGE>
        substantially all the assets of  any guarantor of this LEASE, where
        such seizure is  not  discharged  within  thirty  (30) days of such
        seizure. 

        11.02  LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

               A.  TERMINATION OF LEASE.    In  the  event  of any material
        default by Tenant, the Landlord  shall  have the right, in addition
        to all other rights available  to  Landlord  under this LEASE or at
        law, to terminate this LEASE  by  providing Tenant with a NOTICE of
        termination.  Upon  termination  Landlord  may  recover any damages
        proximately caused by Tenant's failure  to perform under the LEASE,
        or which are  likely  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business to be
        incurred, including  any  amount  expended  or  to  be  expended by
        Landlord in an effort  to  mitigate  damages,  as well as any other
        damages to which Landlord is  entitled to recover under any statute
        now or hereafter in effect.   Landlord's damages include the worth,
        at the time of any award,  of  the amount by which the unpaid RENTS
        for the balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the
        amount  of  the  rental  loss  that  the  Tenant  proves  could  be
        reasonably avoided.   The  worth  at  the  time  of  award shall be
        determined by discounting such amount at one percent (1%) more than
        the discount rate of the  Federal  Reserve Bank in San Francisco in
        effect at the time of the  award.   Other damages to which Landlord
        is entitled shall earn interest at the INTEREST RATE as provided in
        Article 22.36.

               B.  RIGHT OF ENTRY.  In the  event of any default by Tenant,
        Landlord shall also  have  the  right,  with or without terminating
        this LEASE,  to  enter  the  PREMISES  and  remove  all persons and
        personal property from  the  PREMISES,  such property being removed
        and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Tenant's sole cost
        and expense.  No removal by  Landlord of any persons or property in
        the PREMISES shall constitute an  election to terminate this LEASE.
        Such an election  to  terminate  may  only  be  made by Landlord in
        writing,  or  decreed  by   a   court  of  competent  jurisdiction.
        Landlord's right of entry  shall  include  the right to remodel the
        PREMISES and re-let the PREMISES.  All costs incurred in such entry
        and re-letting  shall  be  paid  by  Tenant.    Rents  collected by
        Landlord from any other party  which occupies the PREMISES shall be
        offset against the  amounts  owed  to  Landlord  by Tenant.  Tenant
        shall be responsible for any amounts not recovered by Landlord from
        any other party.  Any payments  made by Tenant shall be credited to
        the amounts owed by  Tenant  in  the  sole  order and discretion of
        Landlord, irrespective of any designation or request by Tenant.  No
        entry by Landlord shall prevent Landlord from later terminating the
        LEASE by written notice.

               C.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION.   Tenant hereby waives, for itself
        and all  persons  claiming  by  and  under  Tenant,  all rights and
        privileges which it might have  under  any present or future law to
        redeem  the  PREMISES  or   to   continue  the  LEASE  after  being
        dispossessed or ejected from the PREMISES.
        <PAGE>
        11.03  LANDLORD'S RIGHTS.

               A.  RIGHT TO  PERFORM.    If  Tenant  fails  to  perform any
        covenant or  condition  to  be  performed  by  Tenant, Landlord may
        perform such covenant or condition  at  its option, after NOTICE to
        Tenant.  All  costs  incurred  by  Landlord  in so performing shall
        immediately be reimbursed at  cost  to Landlord by Tenant, together
        with interest at the INTEREST RATE computed from the due date.  Any
        performance by Landlord of Tenant's  obligations shall not waive or
        cure  such  default.    Landlord  may  perform  Tenant's  defaulted
        obligations at Tenant's sole cost and expense without NOTICE in the
        case  of  any  emergency.    All  costs  and  expenses  incurred by
        Landlord, including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  (whether or not
        legal proceedings are instituted)  in collecting RENTS or enforcing
        the obligations of Tenant under  the  LEASE shall be paid by Tenant
        to Landlord upon demand.

               B.  REMEDIES NOT  EXCLUSIVE.    The  rights  and remedies of
        Landlord set  forth  herein  are  not  exclusive,  and Landlord may
        exercise any other  right  or  remedy  available  to  it under this
        LEASE, at law or in equity.

        11.04  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.   Landlord  shall  not be in default in
        the performance of any  obligation  required  to be performed under
        this LEASE unless Landlord  has  failed  to perform such obligation
        within thirty (30) days  after  the  receipt  of NOTICE from Tenant
        specifying in  reasonable  detail  Landlord's  failure  to perform;
        provided, however, that if  the  nature of Landlord's obligation is
        such  that  more  than  thirty  (30)  days  are  required  for  its
        performance, the Landlord  shall  not  be  deemed  in default if it
        shall  commence  such  performance  within  thirty  (30)  days  and
        thereafter diligently pursues  the  same  to  completion which time
        period  shall  not  exceed   one   hundred   (100)  days  absent  a
        catastrophic event or casualty.   Tenant  shall have no rights as a
        result of any default  by  Landlord  until Tenant gives thirty (30)
        days' NOTICE to  Landlord  specifying  the  nature  of the default,
        unless such default materially  impairs Tenant's ability to conduct
        its business or breaches Tenant's  right  to quiet enjoyment of the
        PREMISES, in which case Tenant shall not be required to wait thirty
        (30) days but wait seven (7) business days after Landlord's receipt
        of notice before exercising its remedies.


                      ARTICLE XII - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING


        12.01  ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASING, TRANSFER AND PROFITS.  Tenant agrees
        and understands that the RENTS set  forth in Article 3 and the term
        set forth in Article 2  have been established in contemplation that
        Tenant would actually  occupy  the  entire  PREMISES for the entire
        LEASE TERM.  Tenant's  RENTS  would  have otherwise increased every
        year to the higher  of  the  FAIR  MARKET  RENTAL RATE or the RENTS
        computed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this LEASE.
        <PAGE>
               Tenant agrees that it  will  not  enter into any SUBLEASE or
        ASSIGNMENT without first complying  with  the provisions of Section
        12.02.   Landlord  specifically  retains  the  right  of reasonable
        review of proposed assignees and  subtenants.  NET PROFITS from any
        permitted assignment  or  sublet  shall  be  divided evenly between
        Landlord and Tenant.

        Notwithstanding the above, Landlord on  its behalf and on behalf of
        any affiliated  company,  shall  have  the  ongoing  right of first
        refusal for premises  subject  to  a  proposed sublet or assignment
        which right may be exercised  in  accordance with the provisions of
        Section 12.02 by Landlord giving written notice to Tenant.

        12.02  MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING PROVISIONS.

               A.  In the event Tenant desires to assign or sublet pursuant
        to this  Article  12,  Tenant  shall  advise  landlord,  by written
        Notice, as defined below, of:    (i)  Tenant's desire to assign, or
        sublease its lease,  (ii)  the  name,  address  and business of the
        proposed   assignee   or   sublessees   (and   evidence  reasonably
        satisfactory to landlord that  such proposed assignee or sublessees
        is comparable in  reputation,  stature  and financial condition to,
        and will make a use of  the  Premises similar to the use being made
        by Tenant or  the  Other  Tenants  leasing  comparable space in the
        Building)  and  (iii)  the  terms  of  the  proposed  assignment of
        subletting, and LANDLORD shall,  within  ten  (10) business days of
        receipt of such notice  and  receipt  of any additional information
        requested  by  landlord  concerning   the  proposed  assignee's  or
        sublessee's financial responsibility, elect one of the following:

               (a)  Consent to  such  proposed  ASSIGNMENT,  encumbrance or
                    SUBLEASE;

               (b)  Refuse  such  consent,  which   refusal  shall  not  be
                    unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed;  or  (c)  Elect to
                    exercise its right  of  first  refusal  and accept said
                    ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE on the same terms and conditions
                    as were contained  in  the  written  NOTICE provided by
                    Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of
                    this Section 12.02A.

               (c)  Elect to exercise its right of first refusal and accept
                    said ASSIGNMENT  or  SUBLEASE  on  the  same  terms and
                    conditions as  were  contained  in  the  written NOTICE
                    provided by Tenant to  Landlord  in accordance with the
                    provisions of this Section 12.02A.

               B. Notwithstanding  any   SUBLEASE   to   Landlord   or  any
        ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE  to  any  other  PERSON,  Tenant will remain
        fully liable for the payment  of  RENTS  and for the performance of
        all other obligations of Tenant  contained  in this LEASE.  Any act
        or omission of an  assignee  or  sublessee, other than Landlord, or
        anyone claiming under or through Landlord, that violates any of the
        obligations of this LEASE shall be deemed a violation of this LEASE
        by Tenant.
        <PAGE>
               C. The consent by  Landlord  to  any  ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE
        shall not relieve Tenant, or  any  person claiming through or under
        Tenant, of  the  obligation  to  obtain  the  consent  of Landlord,
        pursuant to  the  provisions  of  this  entire  Article  12, to any
        further ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE.

               D. If Landlord declines to give  its consent to any proposed
        ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE, Tenant  shall  indemnify, and hold Landlord
        harmless against and  from  any  and  all loss, liability, damages,
        costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting
        from any losses incurred by  Landlord from lawsuits based on claims
        that may be  made  against  Landlord  by  the  proposed assignee or
        sublessee, or brokers  or  other  persons  claiming a commission or
        similar compensation in connection  with the proposed ASSIGNMENT or
        SUBLEASE, resulting from  Tenant's  actions.    In addition, Tenant
        shall reimburse Landlord for  all  costs  that Landlord incurred in
        connection with any such  proposed  ASSIGNMENT  or SUBLEASE for all
        reasonable professional fees  not  to  exceed $500 per transaction,
        including by way of illustration and  not be way of limitation, the
        costs of  making  investigations  as  to  the  acceptability of the
        proposed assignee or sublessee  and  all  attorneys' fees and other
        legal costs  incurred  in  connection  with  any  request  for such
        consent.

               E. With respect to  each  and  every SUBLEASE and ASSIGNMENT
        authorized by Landlord under the  provisions of this Article 12, it
        is further agreed that:

                  1.  The term of the  SUBLEASE  must end no later that one
        (1) day prior to the last day of the LEASE TERM.

                  2.  No  SUBLEASE  or  ASSIGNMENT  shall  be valid, and no
        sublessee or assignee shall take  possession of the PREMISES or any
        part  thereof,  until  a  fully  executed  SUBLEASE  or ASSIGNMENT,
        together  with  such  documentation  as  Landlord  shall reasonably
        request, has been delivered to Landlord.

                  3.  Each SUBLEASE  shall  provide  that it is subject and
        subordinate to this LEASE and  to  all mortgages; that Landlord may
        enforce the provisions  of  the  SUBLEASE,  including collection of
        RENTS; that in the event  of  termination of this LEASE or re-entry
        or repossession of the PREMISES  by  Landlord, Landlord may, at its
        option, take over all of  the  right, title and interest of Tenant,
        as sublessor, under  such  SUBLEASE,  and  such sublessee shall, at
        Landlord's  option,  attorn  to  Landlord,  but  that  nevertheless
        Landlord shall not (1) be  liable  for any previous act or omission
        of Tenant under such  SUBLEASE,  (2)  be  subject to any defense or
        offset previously accrued in favor of the sublessee against Tenant,
        or (3) be bound by any  previous modification of such SUBLEASE made
        without Landlord's written consent,  or  by any previous prepayment
        by sublessee of more than one month's rent.

               F. Any material  modification  or  amendment  to  a SUBLEASE
        shall be deemed a proposed  SUBLEASE  subject  to the terms of this
        Article 12 and requiring a TRANSFER NOTICE to Landlord.
        <PAGE>
               G. In the event  that  (i)  Landlord  fails  to exercise its
        right of  first  refusal  described  in  Article  12.01  above, and
        consents to a  proposed  ASSIGNMENT  or  SUBLEASE,  and (ii) Tenant
        fails to execute and  deliver  the  ASSIGNMENT or SUBLEASE to which
        Landlord has consented within  one  hundred twenty (120) days after
        the giving of such consent,  then  Landlord's consent shall be null
        and void, and Tenant shall again  comply with all of the provisions
        and conditions of this  Article  12  before assigning this LEASE or
        subletting all or part of the PREMISES.

               H. If this LEASE is assigned, whether or not in violation of
        the provisions of this  LEASE,  Landlord  may collect rent from the
        assignee without waiving  any  of  its  rights  hereunder.   If the
        PREMISES  or  any  part  thereof  are  sublet,  whether  or  not in
        violation of this LEASE, Landlord  may, after default by Tenant and
        expiration of Tenant's time to cure such default, collect rent from
        the sublessee without  waiving  any  of  its  rights hereunder.  In
        either event,  Landlord  may  apply  the  net  amount  collected to
        payment of RENTS, but no such assignment, subletting, or collection
        shall be deemed (i)  a  waiver  of  any  of  the provisions of this
        Article, (ii) an  acceptance  of  the  assignee  or  sublessee as a
        tenant, or (iii) a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant
        of Tenant's obligations under this LEASE.

               I. Tenant agrees that its rights to enter into an ASSIGNMENT
        or a SUBLEASE are  governed  by  this  entire Article 12 and agrees
        that it will not,  under  any  circumstances, mortgage or otherwise
        encumber, directly or indirectly,  its  interests  in this LEASE or
        the PREMISES.

               J. If Tenant is a corporation  or  other entity, a merger or
        consolidation of the Tenant with or into another entity or the sale
        of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, or a dissolution of
        the corporation shall be deemed  a  TRANSFER of this LEASE, subject
        to the provisions of this  entire  Article 12; but these provisions
        shall not apply to  a  corporation  into  which Tenant is merged or
        consolidated or to which  substantially  all of Tenant's assets are
        transferred or which  controls  or  is  controlled  by Tenant or is
        under common control with Tenant, provided that a principal purpose
        of such merger or transfer  is  not  the TRANSFER of this LEASE and
        that in any of such events the successor to Tenant has a net worth,
        computed  in   accordance   with   generally   accepted  accounting
        principals at least equal to  the  greater  of (a) the net worth of
        Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer,
        or (b) the net worth, on the date of this LEASE, of the Tenant.  


                       ARTICLE XIII - RELOCATION OF PREMISES


        13.01  RELOCATION.  Landlord shall have  the right, upon sixty (60)
        days NOTICE to Tenant, to relocate Tenant to other substitute space
        in the BUILDING ("SUBSTITUTE  SPACE").   The SUBSTITUTE SPACE shall
        contain at least as many RENTABLE  SQUARE FEET as the PREMISES, and
        the RENTS for the SUBSTITUTE SPACE  shall  be the same as the RENTS
        for the PREMISES, regardless of  the  size of the SUBSTITUTE SPACE.
        Landlord shall pay the expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in 
        <PAGE>
        moving to the  SUBSTITUTE  SPACE,  including  moving expenses, door
        lettering and expenses in  connection  with change of telephone and
        stationery.  Landlord agrees  to  furnish the SUBSTITUTE SPACE with
        TENANT IMPROVEMENTS comparable in quality to those in the PREMISES.
        Notwithstanding the above this Article  shall not apply to Tenant's
        occupancy of the 8th and 9th  floors  or any floor where Tenant has
        constructed a stairway to the  8th  or  9th floors or occupies more
        than 40% of the rentable area on said floor.


                       ARTICLE XIV - UTILITIES AND SERVICES


        14.01  BASIC UTILITIES  AND  SERVICES.    Subject  to Section 14.02
        Landlord shall furnish to  the  PREMISES during BUSINESS HOURS, and
        subject to rules and regulations  from  time to time established by
        Landlord, (a) heating, air  conditioning and ventilation in amounts
        required, from 7:00 a.m. to  6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday except
        for recognized holidays, for the use and occupancy of the PREMISES;
        (b) freight and passenger elevator  service; (c) electricity in the
        amount of 4.5 watts per  RENTABLE  SQUARE FOOT of the PREMISES; and
        (d) hot and cold water in  amounts required for normal lavatory and
        drinking purposes.   Subject  to  the  provisions  of Article 14.02
        regarding charges for additional use, electricity and water will be
        available twenty-four (24) hours  per  day,  every day of the year.
        Landlord shall provide heating,  air conditioning, ventilation, and
        freight  elevator  service   at   other   than  BUSINESS  HOURS  by
        arrangement with Tenant, provided that Tenant pays Landlord's usual
        charges for such  overtime  use,  based  on  Landlord's actual cost
        only.  Landlord  shall  provide  janitorial  service Monday through
        Friday,  except  on  the  dates  of  the  holidays  listed  in  the
        definition of BUSINESS  HOURS  set  forth  in  Article 22.28 below,
        generally consistent with  the  cleaning specifications attached as
        Exhibit C, and window washing  at intervals determined by Landlord.
        Landlord shall provide Tenant  and  its officers and employees with
        access to the PREMISES twenty-four (24) hours per day, every day of
        the year.   Notwithstanding  the  above,  Saturday air conditioning
        shall be available to  tenant  between  the  hours  of 8:00 a.m. to
        12:00 noon at no cost to Tenant.  However, Tenant shall be required
        to request  such  Saturday  service  from  Landlord, indicating the
        areas to be cooled, by giving  Landlord, at the Building Office, 24
        hour notice.

        Notwithstanding the  foregoing,  in  the  event Transamerica Center
        changes ownership, the  temperature  in  Tenant's  premises will be
        maintained (subject  to  any  limits  imposed  by  any governmental
        authority)  to  the  following  standards:  a)  Summer:  72 degrees
        Fahrenheit dry bulb, 50%  relative  humidity,  plus or minus 5%, b)
        Winter: 72 degrees Fahrenheit dry bulb, plus or minus 5%.

        14.02  ADDITIONAL TENANT USE.  Without the prior written consent of
        Landlord, Tenant shall  not  use  any  apparatus  or  device in the
        PREMISES, including, without limitation, electronic data-processing
        machines, punch-card machines and  machines using current in excess
        of 110 volts, that would  cause  Tenant  to use more electricity or
        water than Landlord  has  undertaken  to  provide in Article 14.01,
        notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that 
        <PAGE>
        Tenant is an existing tenant of the BUILDING, and that Landlord has
        inspected and approves the equipment  currently in use by Tenant in
        the PREMISES.  From time to  time, Landlord may impose a reasonable
        charge, as  ADDITIONAL  RENT,  and  establish  reasonable rules and
        regulations for (a) the use by Tenant of heating, air conditioning,
        ventilation, or freight  elevators  at  any  time other than during
        BUSINESS HOURS; (b) the use by Tenant of heating, air conditioning,
        ventilation, water or electricity  in amounts exceeding the amounts
        Landlord has undertaken to  provide  in  Article 14.01; and (c) the
        use of any additional  or  unusual  janitorial or cleaning services
        required because of any  non-building  standard improvements in the
        PREMISES,  the  carelessness  of  Tenant,  the  nature  of Tenant's
        business (including the operation  of  Tenant's business other than
        during BUSINESS  HOURS),  or  for  the  removal  of  any refuse and
        rubbish from the PREMISES, other  than discarded material placed in
        wastepaper  baskets  and  left  for  emptying  as  an  incident  to
        Landlord's normal cleaning of the  PREMISES.  Landlord shall not be
        required  to  provide  janitorial  services  for  portions  of  the
        PREMISES  used  for  preparing  or  consuming  food  or  beverages,
        storage, offset printing or  as  a  lavatory.   Landlord may charge
        Tenant an  additional  charge  for  cleaning  if  Tenant  has glass
        partitions or an unusual amount of glass surfaces or wood floors in
        the interior of the PREMISES.   In order to determine or verify the
        amount of any  additional  charge  for  excess  use of electricity.
        Landlord, or its electrical consultant, will install, at Landlord's
        expense,  meters  to  measure   the  electricity  consumed  in  the
        PREMISES.  Additionally, Tenant shall  receive the equivalent of .8
        watts  per  square  foot  for  electrical  services  which  are not
        separately metered.  Tenant shall  pay  to Landlord the cost of any
        electrical consumption in excess  of  4.5  watts per useable square
        foot of space occupied.  In order to determine or verify the amount
        of any additional  charge  for  excess  use  of water, Landlord may
        install,  at  Tenant's  expense,  a  meter  to  measure  the  water
        furnished to the PREMISES.   Any additional charge for excess water
        use shall include the reasonable charges of Landlord for the excess
        amount of water furnished and for any additionally required pumping
        or heating and any  additional  taxes,  sewer rent or other charges
        imposed by an  government  agency  or  public  utility based on the
        quantity of water furnished  to  occupants  of  the BUILDING or the
        cost of such water.

        14.03  TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE.   Landlord  shall use due diligence
        and its best  efforts  to  keep  the  Building temperature within a
        comfortable range  within  the  PREMISES  and  the public quarters;
        however, Landlord  makes  no  representation  with  respect  to the
        adequacy  or  fitness  of   the  air  conditioning  or  ventilating
        equipment in the  BUILDING  to  maintain  temperatures which may be
        required for, or because  of,  any  equipment  of Tenant other than
        normal fractional horsepower office  equipment.  If the temperature
        otherwise maintained in any portion of the PREMISES by the heating,
        air conditioning or ventilation systems  is affected as a result of
        (a)  any  lights,   machines   or   equipment  (including,  without
        limitation, electronic data-processing machines)  used by Tenant in
        the  PREMISES,  (b)  occupancy  of  the  PREMISES  by more than one
        person per 175 square feet of usable area of the PREMISES or (c) an
        electrical load in excess of  4.5  watts  per square foot of usable
        area of the PREMISES, Landlord shall have the right, but not 
        <PAGE>
        the  obligation,  to  install  any  machinery  and  equipment which
        Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance,
        including without  limitation,  modifications  to  the standard air
        conditioning equipment.  The  cost  of the additional machinery and
        equipment, including the  cost  of  installation and any additional
        cost of operation  and  maintenance,  shall  be  paid  by Tenant to
        Landlord on demand, as  ADDITIONAL  RENT.   If Tenant requests that
        Landlord,  at  Tenant's  sole   expense,  install  such  additional
        machinery  and   equipment,   Landlord's   consent   shall  not  be
        unreasonably withheld.   Landlord  shall  use  its  best efforts to
        diligently correct any malfunction in the HVAC equipment.  

        14.04  EXCULPATION OF LANDLORD.   Landlord  shall not be liable for
        any failure to furnish access  to  the  PREMISES or any services or
        utilities, when such failure is caused  by acts of force majeure or
        elective  alterations  or  improvements  to  the  PREMISES  or  the
        BUILDING, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall
        such failure abate or suspend  Tenant's  obligation to pay RENTS or
        constitute or be construed as  a  constructive or other eviction of
        Tenant.  Tenant understands and agrees that temporary telephone and
        other system interruptions may  occur  as  normal events during the
        course of installation work.   Under no circumstances will Landlord
        be held liable  for  any  financial  or  other  damages due to such
        interruptions.  In the event any governmental entity promulgates or
        revises  any  law,  or   issues  mandatory  controls  or  voluntary
        guidelines relating to the  use  or  conservation of energy, water,
        gas, light or  electricity,  the  reduction  of automobile or other
        emissions,  or  the  provision  of  any  other  utility  or service
        furnished by Landlord in  the  BUILDING,  Landlord may, in its sole
        discretion,  take  any  appropriate  action  to  comply  with  such
        provisions of  law,  mandatory  controls  or  voluntary guidelines,
        including the  making  of  alterations  to  the  BUILDING.  Neither
        Landlord's actions nor its failure  to  act shall entitle Tenant to
        any damages, abate of suspend  Tenant's obligation to pay the RENTS
        or constitute or be construed  as  a constructive or other eviction
        of Tenant.

        14.05  ACCESS.    Landlord,  its   cleaning  contractor  and  their
        employees shall have access to the PREMISES at all times after 6:00
        p.m. and before 7:00 a.m.  daily  and  shall have the right to use,
        without  charge,  all  light,  power  and  water  in  the  PREMISES
        reasonably required to clean the PREMISES.

        14.06  DIRECTORY LISTING.    Landlord,  at  Tenant's request, shall
        maintain listings on the BUILDING  directory of the name of Tenant,
        and the names of any  of  Tenant's  officers and employees, and the
        name of any person  lawfully  occupying  the PREMISES in accordance
        with Article 12, provided that  the  names  so listed shall not use
        more than two (2)  lines  per  one thousand (1,000) RENTABLE SQUARE
        FEET.  The reasonable charge  of  Landlord  for any changes in such
        listings requested by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on
        demand, as ADDITIONAL RENT.

                     ARTICLE XV - SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT


        15.01  SUBORDINATION.  The Landlord owns the LAND and the BUILDING.
        This LEASE, and all rights  of Tenant hereunder, are subordinate to
        the interests of (i) all present  and future leases on the BUILDING
        or  the  LAND  (except  for  leases  of  commercial  space  in  the
        BUILDING); (ii)  present  and    future  mortgages  encumbering the
        BUILDING, the  LAND,  or  any  leases;  (iii)  all  past and future
        advances  made  under  such   mortgages,  and  (iv)  all  renewals,
        modifications,  replacements  and  extensions  of  any  leases  and
        mortgages.    Any  Lessor   ("Superior  Lessor")  under  any  lease
        ("Superior Lease") or  any  mortgagee  ("Superior Mortgagee") under
        any mortgage ("Superior Mortgage") shall have the right to elect by
        a NOTICE that this LEASE shall be superior to any Superior Lease or
        Superior Mortgage.    The  LEASE's  subordination  to  all Superior
        Leases and Superior  Mortgages  is  self-operative,  and no further
        instrument of  subordination  shall  be  required.   Tenant agrees,
        however,  at  the  request   of   Landlord,  to  promptly  execute,
        acknowledge and deliver any instrument  required by Landlord, or by
        any  Superior  Lessor  or   Superior  Mortgagee,  to  evidence  the
        subordination, and to modify this LEASE to meet the requirements of
        any lender selected by  Landlord  to  provide any financing for the
        BUILDING, provided that  such  amendment  does  not alter the LEASE
        TERM, increase RENTS,  materially  adversely affect Tenant's rights
        under this LEASE or place  a  greater legal burden on Tenant except
        as required by law. Tenant  hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as
        Tenant's attorney in fact,  coupled  with  an interest, to execute,
        acknowledge and deliver any such  instrument on behalf of Tenant in
        the event Tenant fails to do  so within ten (10) days of Landlord's
        request.    No  action  taken  by  Landlord  hereunder  shall waive
        Tenant's  default   in   failing   to   provide   any  evidence  of
        subordination required hereunder.

        15.02  ATTORNMENT.  Tenant's obligations under this paragraph shall
        be  subject  to  and   conditioned   upon  Tenant's  receipt  of  a
        nondisturbance agreement, in form and content reasonably acceptable
        to Tenant, from  each  Successor.  Tenant  agrees  to attorn to and
        recognize  as  Tenant's  landlord  under  this  LEASE  any Superior
        Lessor, Superior Mortgagee, or purchaser taking title by or through
        any Superior  Lessor  or  Superior  Mortgagee  or  by  or through a
        foreclosure sale  ("Successor").    Tenant  agrees  to exercise any
        instruments  reasonably  requested   to  evidence  the  attornment.
        Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney in
        fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver
        on  behalf  of  Tenant  any  such  evidence  of  attornment  if not
        delivered by Tenant within twenty  (20)  days after requested to do
        so.  Upon attornment, this  LEASE  shall continue in full force and
        effect.  Tenant  agrees  to  make  any  modification  of this LEASE
        requested by any  Successor  to  Landlord  hereunder, provided that
        such modifications do not  adversely  affect  any material right of
        Tenant under this LEASE.

        15.03  NONDISTURBANCE.  Notwithstanding  any  of  the provisions of
        this Article 15 to the contrary,  Tenant shall be allowed to occupy
        the Premises subject  to  the  conditions  of  this Lease, and this
        Lease shall remain in effect until this Lease expires or is 
        <PAGE>
        terminated  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Lease.
        Landlord shall  use  its  best  efforts  to  provide  Tenant with a
        nondisturbance agreement from  all  current and subsequent mortgage
        and lien holders for the BUILDING.


                           ARTICLE XVI - QUIET ENJOYMENT


        16.01  QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Provided Tenant pays, when due, the RENTS,

                       ARTICLE XVIII - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES


        18.01  ESTOPPEL  CERTIFICATES.    Upon  twenty  (20)  calendar days
        NOTICE from Landlord an  estoppel certificate, in form satisfactory
        to Landlord, which (i)  certificates  that  the LEASE is unmodified
        and in full force and  effect,  or  if modified, the extent of such
        modification; (ii) sets  forth  the  LEASE  expiration date and any
        options available to LEASE expiration  dated may be extended; (iii)
        sets forth the date through which the RENTS have been paid, and any
        prepaid rent or security  deposit  held  by the Landlord; (iv) sets
        forth, in reasonable detail, the  defaults, if any, of Landlord, or
        any acts committed by Landlord  or  any  failure to act by Landlord
        which, with the passage of time,  or giving of notice, or both, may
        constitute a  default  under  the  LEASE;  and  (v)  sets forth any
        deductions, offsets, or credits against RENTS owned by Tenant to 
        <PAGE>
        which Tenant reasonably believes it is entitled.  Tenant agrees and
        understands  that  the   representations   made  in  such  estoppel
        certificate shall be relied upon by Landlord and other parties with
        whom Landlord deals.  Tenant's  failure  to execute and deliver the
        estoppel certificate pursuant to  the terms hereof shall constitute
        a default under the LEASE.   In  such event landlord shall have the
        right  to  act  as  Tenant's  attorney  in  fact,  coupled  with an
        interest, to prepare an  estoppel  certificate, and Tenant shall be
        held  to  the  statements   made   by  Landlord  in  such  estoppel
        certificate as if such certificate was prepared by Tenant.


                               ARTICLE XIX - BROKERS


        19.01  BROKERS.  Tenant warrants  and  represents that it has dealt
        with no broker in connection  with  the  LEASE other than Cushman &
        Wakefield of California, Inc. for the Tenant and the Seeley Company
        for the Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
        from and against  any  and  all  liability,  loss, damage, expense,
        claim,  action,  demand,  suit  or  obligation  arising  out  of or
        relating to a breach of this representation.


                   ARTICLE XX - EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION


        20.01  EXCULPATION.  Tenant acknowledges, as a material part of the
        consideration for Landlord entering into the LEASE,  that Landlord,
        and Landlord's partners, directors,  officers, agents, or employees
        (collectively "Landlords/Partners"), will not  be liable to Tenant,
        or any party claiming by or  through Tenant, for any loss or injury
        suffered by Tenant  or  any  other  person,  or  for  damage to any
        property,  unless  such  loss,  injury   or  damage  is  caused  by
        Landlord's gross negligence or misconduct.  

        Tenant agrees that neither  Landlord or Landlords/Partners shall be
        liable for any consequential damages arising out of any loss of use
        of the PREMISES or any part  thereof or any equipment or facilities
        within the PREMISES.    Landlord  agrees  that  Tenant shall not be
        liable for any consequential damages arising out of any loss of use
        of the BUILDING or any part  thereof or any equipment or facilities
        within the BUILDING. 

        20.02  INDEMNIFICATION.   Tenant  agrees  to  defend, indemnify and
        hold  harmless  Landlord,   all   Superior   Lessors  and  Superior
        Mortgagees of Landlord,  and  their respective partners, directors,
        officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims,
        demands, liability, loss, damage,  costs,  and expenses arising out
        of any acts, omissions or negligence in or about the BUILDING which
        is  the  direct  result   of  Tenant's  negligence  or  intentional
        misconduct  and  Landlord  agrees  to  defend,  indemnify  and hold
        harmless Tenant, from  and  against  any  and  all claims, demands,
        liability, loss, damage,  costs,  and  expenses  arising out of any
        acts, omissions, or negligence  in  or  about the BUILDING which is
        the direct  result  of  the  Landlord's  negligence  or intentional
        misconduct.  In the event that any action or proceeding is brought 
        <PAGE>
        against any party herein indemnified,  arising out of any act which
        is claimed to be the direct  result of either party's negligence or
        misconduct, said party upon  NOTICE  from such person, shall defend
        such action or proceeding at  its  sole cost and expense by counsel
        reasonably approved by the other party.

        20.03  LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY.      Neither  the  Landlord,  nor
        Landlords/Partners, nor any successor to Landlord's interest, shall
        be personally liable for  the performance of Landlord's obligations
        under this LEASE.  Tenant shall look only to Landlord's interest in
        the  LAND  and  BUILDING  or   to  the  Proceeds  of  insurance  or
        condemnation  thereof,  and  to  no  other  assets  or  property of
        Landlord, Landlords/Partners or any successors to Landlord, for the
        satisfaction of Tenant's  remedies  under  this  LEASE,  or for the
        satisfaction of  any  judgment  or  other  award  against Landlord.
        Landlord agrees  not  to  proceed  against  the  personal assets of
        Tenant's officers  and  directors  for  damages  resulting from the
        acts, misconduct or negligence of Tenant.

        20.04  TRANSFER  OF  LANDLORD'S   INTEREST.     Landlord  and  each
        successor to  Landlord  (collectively  "Landlord")  shall  be fully
        released from the performance  of Landlord's obligations subsequent
        to their transfer of Landlord's  interest  in the BUILDING.  In the
        event of a transfer,  Landlord's  obligations shall be binding upon
        any successor.  Landlord shall not be liable for any acts occurring
        after its transfer of the BUILDING.   Except for acts identified in
        the  estoppel  certificate  as  set  forth  in  Article  XVIII, any
        successor in interest to Landlord shall  not be liable for any acts
        occurring prior to the transfer  of  the BUILDING, or be subject to
        any offset, defense or  counterclaim  accruing  prior to such or be
        bound by any payment of  and  RENTS  in  excess of one (1) month in
        advance.  Landlord agrees to  transfer  any security deposit to any
        successor, after which Landlord  shall  be  fully released from any
        liability therefor.


                               ARTICLE XXI - PARKING


        21.01  TENANT'S PARKING.  Tenant  shall  have  the right to use the
        BUILDING'S parking facilities  located  in  Lots  121  and 104 (see
        attached Exhibit H) for the parking  of up to Three (3) automobiles
        per 1,000  rentable  square  feet  leased,  subject  to  payment to
        Landlord, or, at Landlord's option,  to the operator of the parking
        facilities, a $35.00 monthly fee  per space for such parking, fixed
        during the period between  June  1,  1994  and  May  31, 1997 and a
        $50.00 monthly fee during the  period  between June 1, 1997 and May
        31, 2000.    Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, Landlord acknowledges
        that Tenant has been paying  a  fee  for such parking since June 1,
        1994, and  Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant  with  a  credit, to be
        applied against future parking payments,  in an amount equal to the
        difference between the amounts that  Tenant  has paid since June 1,
        1994 and the amount that Tenant  would have paid since June 1, 1994
        if Tenant had been paying the  rates  set forth in this Article XXI
        since June 1, 1994. It  is  understood  that  Lots 121 and 104 have
        sufficient spaces to provide  required  parking  at  the ratio of 3
        automobiles per 1,000 rentable square feet leased for all but 16 
        <PAGE>
        spaces.  Said 16 spaces shall  be provided to Tenant in the parking
        facility numbered 136  at  prevailing  market  rates.  Tenant shall
        have the right to upgrade  parking spaces by substituting spaces in
        the desired locations for spaces in  Lots 121 and 104 if spaces are
        available.  Tenant  shall  pay  for  upgraded  spaces at the lowest
        prevailing rates for  non-Transamerica  employees for such parking.
        It is understood that for each space that is upgraded, Tenant shall
        give up a space in Lots 121 or 104.  Landlord reserves the right to
        substitute other parking facilities  for  Lots  121  and 104 at the
        fixed rate subject to Tenant's  reasonable consent.  Tenant's right
        to use the parking  facilities  shall  be  in connection with other
        tenants of the BUILDING.   Tenant  agrees  to be bound by the rules
        and regulations governing  the  parking  facilities,  to be adopted
        from time to  time  by  Landlord  or  the  operator  of the parking
        facilities.  Tenant's  visitors  shall  have  the  right to use the
        parking facilities, subject to  availability  and  to the rules and
        regulations governing visitor parking from  time to time adopted by
        the Landlord or the operator  of  the parking facilities.  No third
        party tenant shall receive  a  lower  parking  rate than Tenant for
        comparable parking  spaces.    Tenant's  failure  to  pay agreed to
        parking fees shall give Landlord  the immediate right upon ten days
        written notice to  terminate  Tenant's  right  to  use such parking
        facilities.  Tenant shall have the right to buy parking validations
        for the use of Tenant's visitors.

        the sum of the  amounts  determined  in Articles 22.Ol(A), (B), and

        rentable  area  of  the   BUILDING   is  not  occupied  during  the
        appropriate calendar year  period,  then  the  OPERATING COSTS, and
        each component of OPERATING COSTS  for such period, shall be deemed
        to be equal to the  OPERATING  COSTS which would have been incurred
        for the entirety of the  calendar year if ninety-five percent (95%)
        of the  rentable  area  of  the  BUILDING  was  occupied during the
        entirety of  the  calendar  year  including  without limitation the
        following:

               1. Any form of assessment,  business  or license fee or tax,
        commercial rental tax, levy, charge, excise penalty, tax or similar
        imposition or substitution for  any  of the foregoing (hereinafter,
        collectively, "TAX"), imposed  by  any  authority having the direct
        power  to  TAX,  including  any  city,  county,  state  or  federal
        government, or  any  school,  agricultural,  lighting,  drainage or
        other  improvement  or  special  assessment  district  thereof,  as
        against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the PROJECT,
        including, but not  limited  to,  any  increases  in  such TAX as a
        result of any transfer, sale  or  sales  of the PROJECT or any part
        thereof.

               2. Any tax, fee or excise  on  the act of entering into this
        LEASE or the occupancy of Tenant,  on the rental income received by

        the PROJECT levied or assessed at any time against Landlord.
        <PAGE>
               3. Any reasonable fees, costs  and disbursements incurred in
        connection  with  proceedings  to  contest  or  determine PROPERTY-
        RELATED TAXES; including all costs of  any kind paid or incurred by
        Landlord  as  Landlord   deems   necessary,  to  employ  attorneys,
        accountants,  appraisers  and   consultants   for  the  purpose  of
        maintaining  the  assessed  value  of  the  PROJECT  at  the lowest
        possible level.

               PROPERTY-RELATED TAXES shall  not include income, franchise,
        transfer, inheritance, estate, generation-skipping, gift or capital
        stock taxes, unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any
        of such taxes are levied  or  assessed against Landlord in lieu of,
        in whole or in part,  or  as  an  addition  to, any other TAX which
        would otherwise constitute a PROPERTY RELATED TAX.

               Tenant  shall  not  be  required  to  pay  any  increases in
        PROPERTY-RELATED TAXES attributable to a  sale or other transfer of
        ownership of  the  BUILDING  that  gives  rise  to  an  increase in
        PROPERTY-RELATED TAXES under Proposition  13 of the BUILDING during
        the term of this Lease.  After June 1, 2000 Tenant shall receive no
        reduction in its share of  real  estate increases attributable to a
        sale or other transfer of ownership of the BUILDING that gives rise
        to an increase in  PROPERTY-RELATED  TAXES  under Proposition 13 of
        the BUILDING.

               Tenant shall also receive  a  reduction  in its share of any
        future Metro Rail assessment  resulting from the current assessment
        district being expanded to  include  the  BUILDING.  Said reduction
        shall be 25% of  the  Tenant's  share  of the assessment during the
        original term of the Lease.

               Landlord shall ensure  that  the  BUILDING is fully assessed
        for PROPERTY- RELATED TAXES during the entire term of this Lease.

        maintenance of the PROJECT,  in accordance with accepted principles
        of  sound  accounting  practice   as   applied  to  the  operation,

                            xxi.    Tenant  shall  have  the  right  at any
                                    reasonable   time    (but    not   more
                                    frequently than one time during any 12-
                                    month  period)  upon  reasonable  prior
                                    notice  to  Landlord  to  review,  make
                                    extracts from, and audit or cause to be
                                    audited all relevant books, records and
                                    documents   pertaining   to   OPERATING
                                    EXPENSES   (including   real   property
                                    taxes)   or    any   portion   thereof.
                                    Landlord  understands  that  each  such
                                    review or audit may  take more than one
                                    day, and Tenant  and its auditors shall
                                    have  such   time   as   is  reasonably
                                    necessary to complete  each such review
                                    and/or  audit.     If  any  such  audit
                                    reveals that Landlord  made an error in
                                    calculating  and  reporting  the actual
                                    amount of  OPERATING  EXPENSES  for any
                                    12-month period and such error resulted
                                    in an  aggregate  overpayment by Tenant
                                    of  two  percent  (2%)  or  more,  then
                                    Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the
                                    cost and expense of such audit.  If any
                                    such audit reveals Landlord has made an
                                    error in calculating  and reporting the
                                    actual amount of OPERATING EXPENSES for
                                    any  12-month  period  and  such  error
                                    resulted in an  underpayment by Tenant,
                                    then  Tenant  shall  pay  Landlord such
                                    underpayment    together    with    all
                                    reasonable expense incurred by Landlord
                                    assisting Tenant's audit.  Tenant shall
                                    use  an   established   and  recognized
                                    audit   firm   or   company  reasonably
                                    acceptable to  Landlord.   Landlord and

                               RULES AND REGULATIONS



             1.   No sign, placard, picture,  advertisement, name or notice
        shall be installed  or  displayed  on  any  part  of the outside or
        inside  of  the  BUILDING  without  the  prior  written  consent of
        Landlord.  Landlord shall  adopt  and  furnish to Tenant reasonable
        general guidelines relating  to  signs  inside  the BUILDING on the
        office floors.  Tenant  shall  conform  to such guidelines, but may
        request approval of  Landlord  for  modifications.   Landlord shall
        have the right to remove,  at  Tenant's expense and without notice,
        any sign installed or displayed  in  violation of these rules.  All
        approved signs or lettering  on  doors  and walls shall be printed,
        painted, affixed or inscribed at the  expense of Tenant by a person
        approved by Landlord.

             2.   No curtains, blinds, shades, screens or hanging plants or
        other similar objects attached  to  or  used in connection with any
        window or  door  of  the  PREMISES  shall  be  permitted except for
        BUILDING STANDARD window coverings.    No awning shall be permitted
        on any part of  the  PREMISES.    The  sashes, sash doors, windows,
        glass lights and  any  lights  or  skylights  that reflect or admit
        light into the halls or other  places  of the BUILDING shall not be
        covered or obstructed and there shall be no hanging plants or other
        similar objects in the  immediate  vicinity  of the windows. Tenant
        shall not place anything against  or near glass partitions or doors
        or windows which may appear unsightly from outside the PREMISES.

             3.   Tenant shall not obstruct any sidewalks, halls, passages,
        exits,  entrances,  elevators,  escalators   or  stairways  of  the
        BUILDING.    The  halls,  passages,  exits,  entrances,  elevators,
        escalators and  stairways  are  not  for  the  general  public, and
        Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent
        access thereto of all  persons  whose  presence  in the judgment of
        Landlord would be prejudicial  to the safety, character, reputation
        or interests of the BUILDING and its tenants; provided that nothing
        herein contained  shall  be  construed  to  prevent  such access to
        persons with whom any tenant  normally deals in the ordinary course
        of  its  business,  unless  such  persons  are  engaged  in illegal
        activities.  No tenant and no agent, servant, employee, contractor,
        licensee, visitor or invitee of  any  tenant shall go upon the roof
        of the BUILDING.

             4.   The  directory   of   the   BUILDING   will  be  provided
        exclusively for the display  of  the  name  and location of tenants
        only, and Landlord reserves  the  right  to exclude any other names
        there from.

             5.   Except  for   incidental   cleaning   work  performed  by
        employees  of  Tenant  during  business  hours,  all  cleaning  and
        janitorial services for  the  BUILDING  and  the  PREMISES shall be
        provided exclusively through Landlord, and except with the prior 
        <PAGE>
        written consent of Landlord, no  person or persons other than those
        approved by Landlord shall  be  employed  by Tenant or permitted to
        enter the BUILDING of  the  purpose  of  cleaning the same.  Tenant
        shall  not  cause   any   unnecessary   labor  by  carelessness  or
        indifference to the  good  order  and  cleanliness of the PREMISES.
        Landlord shall not in any way  be responsible to any Tenant for any
        loss of property on  the  PREMISES,  however  occurring, or for any
        damage to any of  Tenant's  property  by  the  janitor or any other
        employee or any other person.

             6.   Landlord will furnish  Tenant,  free  of charge, with two
        keys to each  door  lock  in  the  PREMISES.    Landlord may make a
        reasonable charge for any additional  keys.   Tenant shall not make
        or have made additional keys,  and  Tenant shall not alter any lock
        or install a  new  additional  lock  or  bolt  on  any  door of its
        PREMISES.   Tenant,  upon  the  termination  of  its tenancy, shall
        deliver to Landlord the keys of all doors which have been furnished
        to Tenant, and in the event of loss of any keys so furnished, shall
        pay Landlord therefor.

             7.   If Tenant requires telegraphic, telephonic, burglar alarm
        or similar  services,  it  shall  first  obtain,  and  comply with,
        Landlord's instructions in their installation.

             8.   The  freight  elevator  and  loading  platform  shall  be
        available, at no  charge  to  Tenant,  between  5:00 a.m. and 10:00
        p.m., Monday through Friday  and  7:00  a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Saturday
        for  use  by  all  tenants   in  the  BUILDING,  subject  to  prior
        reservation and  such  reasonable  scheduling  as  Landlord  in its
        discretion  shall  deem  appropriate.    No  equipment,  materials,
        furniture, packages, supplies,  merchandise  or other property will
        be received in the BUILDING  through  the BUILDING lobby or carried
        in the passenger elevators.

             9.   No safes or other objects larger or heavier than what the
        freight elevators of the  BUILDING  are  limited  to carry shall be
        brought into or installed on the  PREMISES.  Tenant shall not place
        a load upon any floor  of  the  PREMISES which exceeds the load per
        square foot which such  floor  was  designed  to carry and which is
        allowed by law.   Landlord  shall  have  the right to prescribe the
        weight, size and position of all equipment, materials, furniture or
        other property brought into the  BUILDING.  Heavy objects shall, if
        considered  necessary  by  Tenant,   stand  on  such  platforms  as
        determined by Landlord to  be  necessary to properly distribute the
        weight.  Business  machines  and  mechanical equipment belonging to
        Tenant, which cause noise or  vibration  that may be transmitted to
        the structure of the BUILDING  or  to  any  space therein to such a
        degree as to be objectionable to  Landlord or to any tenants in the
        BUILDING, shall be  placed  and  maintained  by Tenant, at Tenant's
        expense, on vibration  eliminators  or  other devices sufficient to
        eliminate noise or vibration.    The  persons employed to move such
        equipment in or out of the BUILDING must be acceptable to Landlord.
        Landlord will not be  responsible  for  loss  of, or damage to, any
        such equipment or other  property  from  any  cause, and all damage
        done to the BUILDING  by  maintaining  or  moving such equipment or
        other property shall be repaired at the expense of Tenant.
        <PAGE>
             10.  Tenant  shall  not  use  or  keep  in  the  PREMISES  any
        kerosene, gasoline or inflammable  or combustible fluid or material
        other than those limited quantities  necessary for the operation or
        maintenance of office equipment.  Tenant shall not use or permit to
        be used in the PREMISES  any  foul  or noxious gas or substance, or
        permit or allow the PREMISES  to  be  occupied  or used in a manner
        offensive or objectionable to  Landlord  or  other occupants of the
        BUILDING by reason of noise,  odors or vibrations, nor shall Tenant
        bring into or keep in  or  about  the  PREMISES or the BUILDING any
        birds or animals, except  for  seeing-eye  dogs when accompanied by
        their masters.  Smoking or carrying lighted cigars or cigarettes in
        the elevators and restrooms of the  BUILDING, as well as any posted
        area, is prohibited.

             11.  Tenant  shall  not  use  any  method  of  heating  or air
        conditioning other than that supplied by Landlord.

             12.  Tenant  shall  not   waste   electricity,  water  or  air
        conditioning and agrees to cooperate  fully with Landlord to assure
        the most effective operation  of  the  heating and air conditioning
        systems of  the  BUILDING,  and  to  comply  with  any governmental
        energy-saving rules, laws or regulations of which Tenant has actual
        notice, and  shall  refrain  from  attempting  to  adjust controls,
        including room thermostats,  installed  for  Tenant's  use.  Tenant
        shall keep corridor doors closed,  and shall close window coverings
        at the end of each business day.

             13.  Tenant shall not operate any motor vehicle of any kind in
        the garage portion of the  BUILDING  faster than fifteen (15) miles
        per hour.

             14.  Landlord reserves the right  to exclude from the BUILDING
        between the hours of 6:00 P.M.  and 6:00 A.M. the following day, or
        such other  hours  as  may  be  established  from  time  to time by
        Landlord, and on Saturdays, Sundays  and legal holidays, any person
        unless that person is known to  the person or employee in charge of
        the BUILDING and has  a  pass  or  is  properly identified.  Tenant
        shall be responsible for  all  persons  for whom it requests passes
        and shall be liable to  Landlord  for any damage resulting from the
        acts of such persons.  Landlord shall not be liable for damages for
        any error with regard  to  the  admission  to or exclusion from the
        BUILDING of any person.    Landlord  may require any person leaving
        the BUILDING with any package or other object or matter to submit a
        pass, listing such package  or  object  or  matter, from the tenant
        from whose  premises  the  package  or  object  or  matter is being
        removed, but the establishment  and enforcement of such requirement
        shall not impose any responsibility  on Landlord for the protection
        of any tenant against the removal  of property from the premises of
        such tenant.  Landlord reserves the  right to prevent access to the
        BUILDING in case of invasion, mob, riot, public excitement or other
        commotion by closing the doors or  by other appropriate action.  If
        Tenant  uses  the  PREMISES  after  regular  business  hours  or on
        nonbusiness days,  Tenant  shall  lock  any  entrance  doors to the
        PREMISES used by Tenant immediately after using such doors.

             15.  Tenant shall close and lock the doors of its PREMISES and
        entirely shut off all water  faucets  or other water apparatus, and
        electricity, gas or  air  outlets  before  Tenant and its employees
        leave the PREMISES.   Tenant  or  its  insurance  carrier  shall be
        responsible for any damage  or  injuries sustained by other tenants
        or occupants of the BUILDING  or by Landlord for noncompliance with
        this rule.

             16.  Tenant shall not  obtain  for  use  on  the PREMISES ice,

        accept  barbering  or   bootblacking,   floor  polishing,  lighting
        maintenance, cleaning or other  similar services upon the PREMISES,
        except at such hours and under  such regulations as may be fixed by
        Landlord.

             17.  The toilet rooms, toilets,  urinals, wash bowls and other
        apparatus shall not be  used  for  any  purpose other than that for
        which they were constructed  and  no  foreign substance of any kind
        whatsoever shall be thrown therein.    The expense of any breakage,
        stoppage or damage resulting from  the violation of this rule shall
        be borne by the tenant  who,  or whose employees or invitees, shall
        have caused it.

             18.  Without the  prior  written  consent  of Landlord, Tenant
        shall not  sell,  or  permit  the  sale  at  retail, of newspapers,

        Tenant shall not  make  any  room-to-room  solicitation of business
        from other tenants  in  the  BUILDING.    Tenant  shall not use the
        PREMISES for any business or  activity other than that specifically
        provided for in the Tenant's Lease.

             19.  Tenant shall not do or permit  anything to be done in the
        PREMISES, or bring or keep anything therein, which shall in any way
        increase the rate of  fire  insurance  on  the  BUILDING, or on the
        property kept therein, or obstruct  or interfere with the rights of
        other tenants, or in any way injure or annoy them, or conflict with
        the regulations of the Fire  Department  or  the fire laws, or with
        any insurance policy upon  the  BUILDING,  or  any part thereof, or
        with any rules and ordinances established by the Board of Health or
        other governmental authority.

                  20.  Intentionally omitted. 

                  21.  Tenant shall  not  install  any  radio or television
        antenna, loudspeaker or other device  on the roof or exterior walls
        of the  BUILDING  nor  shall  Tenant  install  or  maintain  in the
        PREMISES any device or  equipment  which might interfere with radio

        elsewhere.

                  22.  Tenant  shall  not  mark,  paint,  drill  into, cut,
        string wires within, or in any way deface any part of the BUILDING,
        without the  express  prior  written  consent  of  Landlord, and as
        Landlord may direct.    Upon  removal  of  any  wall decorations or
        installations or floor coverings by Tenant, any damage to the walls
        or floors resulting from such removal shall be repaired by Tenant 
        <PAGE>
        at Tenant's sole cost and expense.   Without limitation upon any of
        the provisions of the  Lease,  Tenant  shall refer all contractors'
        representatives, installation  technicians,  janitorial workers and
        other mechanics, artisans  and  laborers  rendering  any service in
        connection with  the  repair,  maintenance  or  improvement  of the
        PREMISES  to  Landlord  for  Landlord's  supervision,  approval and
        control before performance  of  any  such  service.  This Paragraph
        shall apply  to  all  work  performed  in  the  BUILDING, including
        without limitation installation of telephones, telegraph equipment,
        electrical devices and attachments  and installations of any nature
        affecting  floors,  walls,   woodwork,   trim,  windows,  ceilings,
        equipment  or  any  other  portion  of  the  BUILDING.    Plans and
        specifications for such  work,  prepared  at Tenant's sole expense,
        shall be submitted to Landlord  and  shall be subject to Landlord's
        express  prior  written  approval   in  each  instance  before  the
        commencement of  work.    Any  such  installations, alterations and
        additions constructed  by  Tenant  shall  be  done  in  a  good and
        workmanlike manner and only good  grades  of material shall be used
        in connection therewith.   The  means by which telephone, telegraph
        and similar wires are  to  be  introduced  to  the PREMISES and the
        location of  telephones,  call  boxes  and  other  office equipment
        affixed to the  PREMISES  shall  be  subject  to  the express prior
        written approval of Landlord.    Tenant  shall  not lay linoleum or
        similar floor coverings so  that  the  same  shall come into direct
        contact with the floor of  the  PREMISES  and, if linoleum or other
        similar floor covering is to  be  used, an interlining of builder's
        deadening felt shall be first affixed  to  the floor, by a paste or
        other material soluble  in  water.    The  use  of  cement or other
        similar adhesive material is expressly prohibited.

                  23.  Tenant shall move  all freight, supplies, furniture,
        fixtures and other personal  property  into,  within and out of the
        BUILDING only at such times  and  through  such entrances as may be
        designated by Landlord, and  such  movement  of such items shall be
        under the supervision of Landlord.   Landlord reserves the right to
        inspect all such freight,  supplies,  furniture, fixtures and other
        personal property to be  brought  into  the BUILDING and to exclude
        from the BUILDING all such objects which violate any of these rules
        and regulations or the provisions  of  the Lease.  Tenant shall not
        move or install such objects  in  or  about  the BUILDING in such a
        fashion  as  to  unreasonably  obstruct  the  activities  of  other
        tenants, and all such moving shall be at the sole expense, risk and
        responsibility of Tenant.   Tenant  shall  not use in the delivery,
        receipt or other movement of freight, supplies, furniture, fixtures
        and other personal property to, from  or within the BUILDING, or in
        any space or other public  halls  of  the BUILDING, any hand trucks
        other than those equipped with rubber tires and side guards or such
        other material-handling equipment as Landlord  may approve.  If, in
        the course of such moving,  Tenant damages the floors, floor tiles,
        carpets, walls, ceilings, passenger  elevators or any other portion
        of the BUILDING, Landlord shall  repair  same at Tenant's sole cost
        and expense.

                  24.  Tenant shall not  install,  maintain or operate upon
        the PREMISES any vending machine  without the prior written consent
        of Landlord.
        <PAGE>
                  25.  Canvassing, soliciting and distribution of handbills

        and regulations for the benefit of  Tenant or any other tenant, but
        no such waiver by Landlord shall  be  construed as a waiver of such
        rules and regulations in favor  of  Tenant or any other tenant, nor
        prevent Landlord  from  thereafter  enforcing  any  such  rules and

                                     EXHIBIT F


                                  OPTION TO RENEW


             1.  GRANT OF  OPTION.    Landlord  grants  to  Tenant  two (2)
        options to renew this LEASE as to all PREMISES then being leased by
        Tenant.  Each renewal shall be  for three (3) years commencing upon
        the expiration of the initial  TERM  of  this LEASE and shall be on
        the same terms and conditions as this LEASE, except as specifically
        set forth in this Exhibit  E.    Tenant shall exercise an option to
        renew only by written notice given to Landlord not less than twelve
        (12) months nor more than fifteen  (15)  months prior to the end of
        the then-existing term.

             2.  OPTION PERSONAL.   The  option  granted  to Tenant in this
        LEASE is personal to Tenant,  and successors in interest to Tenant,
        and may not be exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily,
        by, or to, any  person  or  entity  other  than Tenant.  The option
        herein granted to Tenant is  not assignable separate and apart from
        this  LEASE.    In  the  event  that  at  the  time  the  option is
        exercisable by Tenant, this LEASE  has been assigned, or a sublease
        exists as to  fifty  percent  (50%)  or  more  of the PREMISES, the
        option shall be deemed null  and  void and Tenant, any assignee, or
        any sublessee, shall not have the right to exercise the option.

             3.  EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTION.    Tenant shall have no right
        to exercise the option, notwithstanding  any provision in the grant
        of option to the contrary,  (i)  if,  at the time permitted for the
        exercise of the option, or at any time prior to the commencement of
        the renewal term, Tenant shall be  in material default under any of
        the provisions  of  this  LEASE,  or  (ii)  in  the  event that the
        Landlord has given to Tenant  two  or more NOTICES of default under
        Article 11 during the  12  calendar  months  prior to the time that
        Tenant intends to exercise the Option.

             4.  RENTS DURING RENEWALS.    The  rental  rates for the first
        option period shall be at 95% of appraised fair market value but in
        no event less then Tenant  is  paying  during  the last year of the
        term of the lease, including escalations.   The rental rate for the
        second option period shall  be  at    90%  of appraised fair market
        value but in no event  less  than  Tenant is paying during the last
        year of the first renewal  term,  including escalations.  All RENTS
        payable during any renewal term shall be payable in the same manner
        and under the same terms  and  conditions  as RENTS are paid during
        the initial LEASE TERM.

             5.  DOCUMENTATION.   Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  execute and
        deliver appropriate documentation  to  evidence  any renewal of the
        LEASE and the terms and conditions  of the LEASE during the renewal
        term.

             6.  TERMS.  All terms used in this Exhibit F, unless otherwise
        defined in this Exhibit F, shall have the same meaning as the terms
        defined in the LEASE.
        <PAGE>
             7.  FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE.    "FAIR  MARKET RENTAL RATE" for
        the  purposes  hereof  shall  be  defined  in  accordance  with the
        definition found in Paragraph 22.38 of the LEASE.

                 If Tenant has made  the  appropriate election to renew its
        LEASE as provided above,  then,  either  party may notify the other
        that it desires  to  initiate  negotiations  to  determine the FAIR
        MARKET RENTAL RATE for the  renewal  term  commencing at the end of
        the initial term.   Upon  the  giving  of such notice, Landlord and
        Tenant shall promptly initiate,  and  cooperate with one another in
        the conduct of negotiations  to  determine  said FAIR MARKET RENTAL
        RATE.  If the parties have not agreed as to said FAIR MARKET RENTAL
        RATE within two (2) months  after  such notice, Landlord and Tenant
        shall attempt  to  agree  upon  a  single  MAI designated appraiser
        within fifteen (15) days  after  such  date.   If they cannot agree
        upon a single appraiser, Landlord  and  Tenant shall each appoint a
        MAI designated real estate appraiser  (and if necessary a successor
        as provided below) within ten (10) years' experience in the area of
        major   first-class   office   building   appraisals,   leasing  or
        development in Downtown  Los  Angeles,  California,  and neither of
        whom shall be employees or  former  employees of Landlord or Tenant
        (although an appraiser may  be  an independent consultant to either
        party).  The two appraisers  shall  use their best efforts to agree
        upon a  FAIR  MARKET  RENTAL  RATE  but,  if  no  such agreement is
        reached,  they  shall,  within   fifteen   (15)  days  after  their
        selection, select  another  MAI  designated  appraiser  (the "third
        appraiser")  who  shall  meet  the   same  standards.    The  three
        appraisers shall meet  in  said  City  at  the earliest practicable
        date--and in  no  event  later  than  fifteen  (15)  days after the
        selection of  the  third  appraiser--and  shall,  by majority vote,
        determine the FAIR MARKET  RENTAL  RATE  of  the PREMISES as of the
        commencement date of the renewal term.

                 In the event that either  party fails to timely appoint an
        appraiser,  or,  within  an  equivalent   period  of  time  from  a
        necessitating event appoint  a  successor  appraiser to replace any
        deceased, disabled, or unwilling  appraiser, then the other party's
        proposed FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE shall control.

                 In the event that  the  first  two appraisers cannot agree
        upon the third  appraiser,  the  Landlord  and  Tenant or the other
        party, respectively, shall promptly  apply  to  the local office of
        the American Arbitration Association (or any organization successor
        thereto) for the  appointment  of  the  third  appraiser, or in its
        absence, failure, refusal or  inability  to  act, then either party
        may  apply  to  any  court   in  the  State  of  California  having
        jurisdiction thereof for the  appointment  of such third appraiser,
        and the other jurisdiction  to  entertain  the application and make
        the appointment.

                 In the event that no two  of the appraisers can agree upon
        such FAIR MARKET RENTAL  RATE,  the third appraiser shall determine
        the same; provided,  however,  that  if  the  determination of such
        third appraiser shall be lower  than  the lowest FAIR MARKET RENTAL
        RATE, or higher than the  highest FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE, proposed
        by the two appraisers, the FAIR MARKET RATE shall be the lowest 
        <PAGE>
        FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE  or  the  highest  FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE,
        respectively, of the two appraisers  selected by the parties.  Each
        party agrees that it will use  bona  fide efforts to cause the FAIR
        MARKET RENTAL RATE for the  renewal  term to be determined prior to
        expiration of the initial LEASE TERM, but if the same shall fail to
        be so determined, Tenant shall  pay RENTS as if Landlord's proposed
        FAIR MARKET  RENTAL  RATE  were  correct  until such determination.
        Within  thirty  (30)  days  after  such  determination,  Tenant  or
        Landlord, as appropriate shall pay  to the other the difference, if
        any, between the RENTS  payable  for  such renewal term, as finally
        determined, and the estimated RENTS  paid by Tenant pursuant to the
        preceding sentence, together with  interest thereon at the INTEREST
        RATE from  the  date  each  installment  of  RENTS  in question was
        payable until such differences is paid.

        affiliates).  Tenant may lease  all the available space at Tenant's
        contract rental rate, for  the  remainder  of the term (and renewal

        Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver said space to Tenant, and Tenant
        will lease same, when and  if available excepting only requirements
        of Landlord  and  its'  affiliates  and  contractual obligations to
        other Tenants that may  exist  at  that  time.    If the space that
        becomes available is larger  than  125%  of the amount specified by
        Tenant then Tenant shall not be required to lease it.

            security procedures.

        5.  Landlord shall install 24-hour smoke  sensors in such number as
