PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS.

GENERAL.

Symantec Corporation ("Symantec" or the "Company") develops, markets and
supports a diversified line of application and system software products designed
to enhance individual and workgroup productivity as well as manage networked
computing environments. Approximately 80% of Symantec's net revenues are
derived from products that operate on Microsoft Corporation's ("Microsoft") MS-
DOS or Windows operating systems for IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers.
Symantec also offers products for use on the Apple Macintosh and IBM OS/2
operating systems.

The Company's predecessor, C&E Software, Inc., a California corporation, and
that predecessor's operating subsidiary, Symantec Corporation, a California
corporation, were formed in September 1983 and March 1982, respectively. The
Company was incorporated in Delaware in April 1988 in connection with the
September 1988 reincorporation of the Company's predecessor and its operating
subsidiary into a single Delaware corporation.

Since Symantec's initial public offering on June 23, 1989, the Company has
completed acquisitions of the following companies:
Software or Activity

Software or Activity
Companies Acquired Date Acquired Acquired
- --------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Intec Systems Corporation ("Intec") August 31, 1994 Applications
Central Point Software, Inc. ("Central Point") June 1, 1994 Utilities
SLR Systems, Inc. ("SLR") May 31, 1994 Development Tools
Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. ("Fifth Generation") October 4, 1993 Utilities
Contact Software International, Inc. ("Contact") June 2, 1993 Applications
Certus International Corporation ("Certus") November 30, 1992 Utilities
MultiScope, Inc. ("MultiScope") September 2, 1992 Development Tools
The Whitewater Group, Inc. ("Whitewater") September 2, 1992 Development Tools
Symantec (UK) Ltd. ("Symantec UK") April 3, 1992 Marketing Entity
Zortech Ltd. ("Zortech") August 31, 1991 Development Tools
Dynamic Microprocessor Associates, Inc. ("DMA") August 30, 1991 Utilities
Leonard Development Group ("Leonard") August 30, 1991 Applications
Peter Norton Computing, Incorporated ("Norton") August 31, 1990 Utilities

</TABLE>

All of these acquisitions were accounted for as poolings of interest.
Accordingly, all financial information has been restated to reflect the combined
operations of these companies and Symantec with the exception of Intec, SLR,
MultiScope and Whitewater, which had results of operations that were not
material to Symantec's consolidated financial statements.

Symantec's strategy is to develop and market products that are, or may become,
leaders in their respective categories, maintain a broad product line across
multiple platforms and develop and market a strong product offering for the
enterprise or networked computing environment. Symantec's early products were
primarily productivity applications, such as Q&A, a non-programmable database,
and Time Line, a sophisticated project management program. In 1989, Symantec
expanded its business into utility products, initially with Macintosh utilities
products, and then into DOS utilities in fiscal 1991 with the acquisition of
Norton, the developer of Norton Utilities and Norton Commander. In fiscal 1992,
Symantec acquired DMA, the developer of pcANYWHERE and in fiscal 1993, Symantec
acquired Certus, the developer of Novi, an Anti-virus product that was merged
into The Norton AntiVirus. In fiscal 1992 and 1993, Symantec acquired three
development tools companies (Zortech, Whitewater and MultiScope) and expanded
its development tools business into the DOS and Windows object oriented
programming markets. In fiscal 1994, Symantec continued this expansion into the
application development market with the acquisition of certain technology for
developing an architecture and tools to build client-server applications from
DataEase International, Inc. Also in fiscal 1994, Symantec added to its
internal development of network utilities with the acquisition of Fifth
Generation, which had certain network utility

1
<PAGE>

products under development. The acquisition of Contact in fiscal 1994 expanded
the Company's product line with the addition of ACT!, a contact management
product. The acquisition of Central Point in fiscal 1995 added a number of
desktop and enterprise utility products to Symantec's product offerings,
including Mac Tools, PC Tools, XTree Gold and Central Point Antivirus. Many of
the products acquired through the acquisition of Central Point were duplicative
of products marketed by Symantec prior to the acquisition. As a result, the
comparison of future Company revenues to historical revenues on a pooled basis
may be adversely impacted by the elimination of duplicative products.

The Company believes that the prevailing trends in the software industry are
movements by companies to downsize from mainframes and minicomputers to
microcomputers; a continuation of the move to graphical user interfaces, as
demonstrated by the strong demand for Windows products; a move to networked
environments of microcomputers; and a move to object-oriented programming among
software developers. As a result, Symantec is currently expanding its
development of network management utilities and applications that support
network and workgroup computing and is continuing its development of object-
oriented programming tools.

While Symantec's diverse product line has tended to lessen fluctuations in
quarterly net revenues, such fluctuations have occurred recently and are likely
to occur in the future. These fluctuations may be caused by a number of
factors, including new product introductions and product upgrades, reduced
demand for any given product, the market's transition between operating systems,
(including the market's acceptance and transition to Microsoft Corporation's new
operating system "Windows 95" when released) and a transition from a desktop PC
environment to an enterprise-wide networked environment.

Symantec has a 52/53-week fiscal accounting year. Accordingly, all references
as of and for the periods ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 reflect amounts as
of and for the periods ended March 31, 1995, April 1, 1994, and April 2, 1993,
respectively.

Symantec's products, comprising both application software and system software,
are currently organized into seven product groups: advanced utilities, security
utilities, network/communications utilities, contact management, development
tools, project management/productivity applications and client-server
technology. The following table summarizes Symantec's principal products by

pcANYWHERE remote control technology, Norton Utilities Administrator and Norton
Disklock Administrator.

COMMUNICATIONS UTILITIES
THE NORTON PCANYWHERE offers reliable, fast and flexible PC-to-PC remote
computing via serial or modem connection. The Norton pcANYWHERE lets the user
remotely control one PC from the keyboard of another. The offsite remote PC,
laptop or PC terminal controls the operation of the distant host PC. The
software allows the user to run any MS-DOS or Windows application remotely,
transfer files and perform other data operations. In addition to allowing a
user to remotely run a distant PC, pcANYWHERE optionally allows users at the
host (distant) machine to view the operations being conducted from the remote
site. This makes pcANYWHERE ideal for support of users as a remote helpdesk
function for both problem solving and application training.

THE NORTON PCANYWHERE ACCESS SERVER allows network administrators to centrally
manage multiple remote control sessions. The Norton pcANYWHERE Access Server
provides mobile users with simple, efficient and secure access to networks.

CONTACT MANAGEMENT

full featured word processor and a report generator. ACT! manages and
integrates a user's contacts, calendar and communication through the use of
integrated E-mail messaging.

ACT! MOBILE LINK is an add-on product to ACT! for Windows. ACT! Mobile Link
automates communication between individuals in the office and mobile
professionals by providing the ability to remotely access and exchange contact
information. It supports data maintained centrally as well as using e-mail to
synchronize two or more users of the same database and calendar.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
SYMANTEC C++ is a set of professional programming tools for C++ and provides
support for developing MS-DOS, Windows and Macintosh applications. The MS-DOS
and Windows version includes enhanced 32-bit development support, including 32-
bit MFC on CD-ROM. It supports full template debugging and features a
hierarchical project management system with full dependency tracking. The
Macintosh version includes a new version of THINK Class Library (TLC 2.0), which
allows developers to write applications that are portable to PowerPC
microprocessor-based Macintoshes. Symantec C++ for Macintosh also includes
Bedrock exception-handling and THINK Inspector that allows quick debugging.

THINK C provides users with an integrated set of tools, including a C compiler,
to develop software in C for the Macintosh. The product consists of five main
components: a text editor that allows a programmer to enter and modify text
files of statements in human-readable C programming language (source code); a
compiler that translates files of statements in C source code into binary
instruction modules that a computer can execute (object code); a linker that
enables separate object code modules to be combined to form a complete program;
a source level debugger to support the testing of software while it is being
developed; and a project manager that automates the management of all of these
processes.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT/PRODUCTIVITY APPLICATIONS
TIME LINE is a SQL-based client-server solution that integrates multi-project
management with a business environment. It is a project organizing, scheduling
and resource allocation program. Time Line uses the critical

5
<PAGE>

path method to determine project schedules, performs resource leveling and
lead/lag scheduling and presents information in PERT, Gantt and actual versus
planned formats.

Q&A is an easy-to-use, integrated database management and word processing
program with sophisticated report generation capabilities. Q&A also has a
natural language interface that allows the user to request reports from a
database using plain English sentences instead of database commands.

CLIENT-SERVER TECHNOLOGY
SYMANTEC ENTERPRISE DEVELOPER is the next generation of client-server
application development tools for creating complex distributed database
applications. Enterprise Developer utilizes a repository based, business model
driven development approach that allows a corporation to model its business
needs. Symantec Enterprise Developer's SCALE architecture leverages these
models to automate the application development process. Since the company's
business needs are captured in a centralized model stored in a repository, they
can easily be maintained and modified as needed.

DISTRIBUTION, SALES AND SUPPORT.

Symantec markets its products domestically and in major foreign markets,
primarily through independent software distributors and major retail chains.

DOMESTIC SALES
Symantec's sales strategy is to use a direct field sales force that works with
businesses to encourage them to adopt Symantec's products as corporate
standards. Symantec also employs a distribution sales group to work closely
with its major distributor and reseller accounts on the management of orders,
inventory level and sell-through to retailers, as well as promotions and selling
activities. Symantec's telemarketing sales group manages and supports major
dealer and corporate end user accounts. Symantec's sales personnel are located
in major metropolitan areas. At March 31, 1995, Symantec had approximately 110
people in its domestic direct field sales and telemarketing groups.

With the expansion to enterprise-wide computing systems markets, Symantec
believes that it must develop relationships with customers and deliver products
developed for this market segment.

Symantec maintains distribution relationships with a number of major independent
software distributors, including Ingram Micro D, Inc. ("Ingram Micro D") and
Merisel Americas, Inc. ("Merisel"). These distributors stock Symantec's
products in inventory for redistribution to independent dealers, consultants and
other resellers. Symantec also maintains relationships with many of the major
computer and software retailing organizations in the United States, including
Egghead Discount Software ("Egghead"), Corporate Software, Inc., Software
Spectrum, Inc. and PC Connection, Inc. Symantec markets to each of these retail
accounts either directly or through one of its authorized national distributors.
Like many other software companies, Symantec also sells product upgrades and
certain of its products directly to end users through direct mail campaigns. In
addition, Symantec has site licensed many of its products to corporate
customers.

Approximately 33% of Symantec's net revenues in the year ended March 31, 1995
was derived from Symantec's two largest accounts - Ingram Micro D and Merisel.
Ingram Micro D represented 22%, 17% and 15% of Symantec's net revenues in fiscal
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Merisel represented 11%, 13% and 13% of
Symantec's net revenues in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Symantec's return policy allows its distributors, subject to certain
limitations, to return purchased products in exchange for new products or for
credit towards future purchases. Individual end users may return products
through dealers and distributors within a reasonable period from the date of
purchase for a full refund, and retailers may return older versions of products.
Various distributors and resellers may have more liberal return policies that
may negatively impact the level of products which are returned to Symantec.
Product returns occur when the Company introduces upgrades and new versions of
products or when distributors order too much product. In addition, competitive
factors often require the Company to offer rights of return for products that
distributors or retail stores are unable to sell. Symantec has experienced and
may experience in the future, significant increases in product returns above
historical levels from customers of acquired companies after the acquisition is
completed.

6
<PAGE>

Symantec prepares detailed analyses of historical return rate experiences in its
estimation of anticipated returns and maintains reserves for product returns.
In addition to detailed historical return rates, the Company's estimation of
return reserves takes into consideration upcoming product upgrades, current
market conditions, customer inventory balances and any other known factors that
could impact anticipated returns. Based upon returns experienced, the Company's
estimates have been materially accurate. The impact of actual returns net of
such provisions has not had a material effect on the Company's liquidity as the
returns typically result in the issuance of credit towards future purchases as
opposed to cash payments to the distributors.

Symantec's marketing activities include advertising in trade, technical and
business publications; cooperative marketing with distributors, resellers and
dealers; periodic direct mailings to customers and prospective customers; and
participation in trade and computer shows. Additionally, the Company typically
offers two types of rebate programs, volume incentive rebates and rebates to end
users. Volume incentive rebates are made available to Symantec's largest
distributors and resellers whereby the distributor or reseller earns a rebate as
a pre-determined percentage of their purchases of the Company's products.
Volume incentive rebates are accrued when revenue is recorded. The amount of
these rebates has been consistent for all periods presented and has not had a
material impact on the Company's liquidity. The Company also from time to time
offers rebates to end users who purchase the Company's products. During fiscal
1995, Symantec offered rebates to end users who purchased either pcANYWHERE or
The Norton AntiVirus. End user rebates are accrued when revenue is recorded.
These end user rebates have been offered on a limited basis and have not been
material to the Company's results of operations or liquidity in fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993.

INTERNATIONAL SALES
International revenues represented approximately 35%, 33% and 31% of Symantec's
net revenues in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At March 31, 1995,
Symantec had approximately 117 sales, marketing and related personnel in its
international sales organization.

Most of Symantec's revenues from Canada are derived from sales by affiliates of
Symantec's major United States distributors. In other countries, Symantec sells
its products through authorized distributors. In some countries these
distributors are restricted to specified territories. Symantec typically adapts
products for local markets, including translating the documentation and software
where necessary, and prepares comprehensive marketing programs for each local
market.

Symantec has established offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany,
Holland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the
United Kingdom. These local offices facilitate Symantec's marketing and
distribution in international markets. The Company's international operations
are subject to certain risks common to foreign operations, such as government
regulations, import restrictions, currency fluctuations, repatriation
restrictions and, in certain jurisdictions, reduced protection for the Company's
copyrights and trademarks. Information with respect to international operations
and export sales may be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Part IV, Item 14 of this Form 10-K.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
During the March 1994 quarter, Symantec introduced a new product support program
that provides a wide variety of free and fee-based technical support services to
its customers. Symantec provides its customers with free support via electronic
and automated services as well as 90 days complimentary free telephone support
for selected products. Symantec accrues the cost of providing this free support
at the time of product sale. In addition, Symantec offers both individual users
and corporate customers a variety of fee-based options designed to meet their
individual technical support requirements. Fee-based technical support services
did not generate material revenues in fiscal 1995 or 1994 and are not expected
to generate material revenues in the near future.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITIONS.

Symantec uses a multiple products sourcing strategy that includes internal
development, acquisitions of product lines or companies and licensing from
third-parties. Development of new products and enhancement of existing products
are typically performed by Symantec in individual product groups. Each group's
responsibilities include

7
<PAGE>

design, development, documentation and quality assurance. Outside contractors
are used for certain aspects of the product development process.

Symantec uses strategic acquisitions, as necessary, to provide certain
technology and products for its overall product strategy. Symantec has
completed a number of acquisitions of companies and products and expects to
acquire other companies and products in the future. In addition to the
significant business risks associated with acquisitions, which include the
successful combination of the companies in an efficient and timely manner, the
coordination of research and development and sales efforts, the retention of key
personnel and the integration of the acquired products, Symantec frequently
incurs significant acquisition expenses for legal, accounting and financial
advisory services and other costs related to the combination of the companies.
These costs have in the past had and may, with respect to possible future
acquisitions, have a significant adverse impact on the Company's profitability
and financial resources. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's
acquisitions will be successfully assimilated into the Company's operations. In
addition, the comparison of future Company revenues, expenses and profitability
to historical revenues, expenses and profitability on a pooled basis may be
adversely impacted by the elimination of duplicative products and operating
activities.

The Company is devoting substantial efforts to the development of software
products that are designed to operate on Microsoft's new operating system
("Windows 95"), which is currently under development and testing. The Company
is also devoting substantial efforts to the development of products for
networked operating environments and network management. Due to the inherent
uncertainties of software development projects, there can be no assurance that
any products currently being developed by Symantec, including products being
developed for Windows 95, will be technologically successful, that any resulting
products will achieve market acceptance or that the Company will be effective in
competing with products currently in the market. There can also be no assurance
that Symantec will elect to develop software products for the operating
environments that ultimately are accepted by the marketplace, including
Windows 95. Development for networked operating environments is more complex
than development for the desktop and requires a higher level of research and
development expenditures. As a consequence of the complexity of developing
products for networked operating environments and operating systems using
graphical user interfaces and Symantec's emphasis on technical excellence,
Symantec has experienced delays in the development and delivery of its products
and is likely to experience such delays in the future. Any such delays could
result in a loss of competitiveness of Symantec's products and could adversely
affect Symantec and its financial results.

Symantec's total research and development expenses were approximately $62.8
million, $64.1 million and $71.1 million in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Research and development expenditures are charged to operations
as incurred. The decrease in research and development expenses in fiscal 1995
is principally due to the consolidation of product development efforts resulting
from the acquisition of Central Point. Financial accounting rules requiring
capitalization of certain software development costs have not materially
affected the Company.

Norton Commander, Norton Backup and elements of certain other programs are
licensed from third-party developers.

COMPETITION.

The microcomputer software market is intensely competitive and is subject to
rapid changes in technology and in the strategic direction of major
microcomputer hardware manufacturers and operating system providers. The
Company's competitiveness depends on its ability to enhance its existing
products and to offer new products on a timely basis. The Company has more
limited resources than certain of its competitors, and must restrict its product
development efforts to a relatively small number of projects. Further, the
Company has less experience in the enterprise/network market than many of it
competitors and fewer relationships and less experience with systems integrators
and other third-party vendors that provide consulting and implementation
services necessary to sell many of these products.

Historically, much of the Company's revenues were derived from products using
the MS-DOS operating system and its character-based interface, which has been
largely supplanted by the Microsoft Windows operating environment. With the
anticipated introduction of Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system, the
Company's ability to generate revenue from many of its current products will
depend on its ability to develop new versions and

8
<PAGE>

enhancements of those products in a timely manner for the Windows 95 operating
system and/or other operating systems that may gain market acceptance. The
Company has experienced delays in the development and delivery of its products
and may experience such delays in the future, which would result in a loss of
competitiveness of the Company's products and could adversely affect the Company
and its financial results.

Operating system vendors such as Microsoft have added features to new versions
of their products that provide some of the same functionality traditionally
offered in Symantec's utilities products. Symantec believes this trend may
continue. Microsoft may incorporate advanced utilities in Windows 95 that may
decrease the demand for certain of the Company's products, including those
currently under development. While Symantec plans to continue to improve its
utilities products with a view toward providing enhanced functionality over what
may be provided in operating systems, there is no assurance that these efforts
will be successful or that such improved products will be accepted by software
users. Symantec will also attempt to work with operating system vendors in an
effort to make its utilities products compatible with those operating systems,
yet differentiate those utilities products from features included in the
operating systems. However, there is no assurance that these efforts will be
successful.

Because of the breadth of its product line, Symantec competes with at least one
product from many of the major independent software vendors, including Borland
International, Inc. ("Borland"), Cheyenne Software, Inc. ("Cheyenne"), Claris
Corporation, Computer Associates International, Inc. ("Computer Associates"),
Gupta Corporation ("Gupta"), Intel Corporation ("Intel"), Lotus Development
Corporation ("Lotus"), McAfee Associates, Inc. ("McAfee"), Microsoft, Novell,
Inc. ("Novell") and Software Publishing Corporation ("Software Publishing").

For example, The Norton Enterprise Backup competes with ARCserve from Cheyenne,
Network Archivist from Palindrome and Backup Exec from Arcada Software, Inc.
The Norton Administrator for Networks competes with Microsoft System Management
Server from Microsoft and LanDesk from Intel. Symantec Enterprise Developer
competes with PowerBuilder from Sybase, Inc. and SQL Windows from Gupta. Norton
Utilities and Norton Backup compete with operating systems, such as Microsoft's
MS-DOS, IBM's DOS and Novell's DR-DOS, which offer file recovery, anti-virus and
backup features as well as products from independent utilities vendors. Norton
AntiVirus and Central Point Antivirus compete with Viruscan from McAfee.
Symantec's The Norton pcANYWHERE competes mainly with Laplink from Traveling
Software, Carbon Copy from Microcom, Close Up from Norton Lambert and NetRemote
from McAfee. ACT! and 1st ACT! compete with Lotus Organizer for Windows from
Lotus, Maximizer from Modatech Systems, Inc. and many other personal information
managers produced by various software developers. Symantec C++ competes with
C++ compilers from Borland and Microsoft. Norton Desktop for Windows and PC
Tools for Windows compete with Dashboard from Starfish Software. Time Line
competes most directly with Microsoft Project from Microsoft, SuperProject from
Computer Associates and Harvard Project Manager from Software Publishing. In
addition, these and other Company products compete less directly with a number
of other products that offer levels of functionality different from those
offered by Symantec's products or that were designed for a somewhat different
group of end users.

Symantec also competes with microcomputer hardware manufacturers that develop
their own software products. Further, Symantec competes with other
microcomputer software companies for access to the channels of retail
distribution and for the attention of customers at the retail level and in
corporate accounts. Finally, Symantec competes with other software companies in
its efforts to acquire products or companies and to publish software developed
by third parties. Symantec believes that, in the next few years, competition in
the industry will intensify as most major software companies expand their
product lines into additional product categories. Some of Symantec's competitors
have substantially greater financial, marketing and technological resources than
Symantec.

MANUFACTURING AND BACKLOG.

Symantec's product development organization produces a set of master diskettes
and documentation for each product. Most of Symantec's domestic manufacturing
is performed by outside contractors under supervision of

9
<PAGE>

Symantec's manufacturing organization. Purchasing of most raw materials and
most fulfillment of orders is done by Symantec personnel in Symantec's
Sunnyvale, California facility. The manufacturing steps that are subcontracted
to outside organizations include the duplication of diskettes and CD-ROM's,
printing of documentation materials and assembly of the final package. Symantec
performs diskette duplication and assembly of the final package in its Dublin,
Ireland, manufacturing facility for most products distributed outside of the
United States and Canada.

Symantec is often able to acquire materials on a volume-discount basis and has
multiple sources of supply for certain materials. To date, Symantec has not
experienced any material difficulties or delays in production of its software
and related documentation and packaging. However, shortages may occur in the
future. For example, shortages of certain materials may occur when Microsoft
introduces new operating systems such as Windows 95.

Symantec normally ships products within one week after receiving an order.
Thus, Symantec does not consider backlog to be a significant indicator of future
performance.

PRODUCT PROTECTION.

Symantec regards its software as proprietary and relies on a combination of
copyright, patents, trade secret and trademark laws, license agreements and
technical measures in an attempt to protect its rights. Despite these
precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects
of Symantec's products or to obtain and use information that Symantec regards as
proprietary. All of Symantec's products are protected by copyright, and
Symantec has several patents and patent applications pending. However, existing
patent and copyright laws afford limited practical protection. In addition, the
laws of some foreign countries do not protect Symantec's proprietary rights in
its products to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Symantec's
products are not copy protected.

As the number of software products in the industry increases and the
functionality of these products further overlaps, Symantec believes that
software developers will become increasingly subject to infringement claims.
This risk is potentially greater for companies, such as Symantec, that obtain
certain of their products through publishing agreements or acquisitions, since
they have less direct control over the development of those products.
Additionally, an increasing number of software patents are being issued, some of
which are very broad in nature. This increases the risk that Symantec's
products may be subject to claims of patent infringement. Although such claims
may ultimately prove to be without merit, they can be time consuming and
expensive to defend. Symantec is currently involved in several lawsuits
involving trade secret or patent disputes (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 14 of this Form 10-K).

EMPLOYEES.

As of March 31, 1995, Symantec employed 1,442 people, including 596 in sales,
marketing and related staff activities, 458 in product development and 388 in
management, manufacturing, administration and finance. None of the employees is
represented by a labor union and Symantec has experienced no work stoppages.
Symantec believes that its employee relations are good.

Competition in recruiting personnel in the software industry is intense.
Symantec believes that its future success will depend in part on its ability to
recruit and retain highly skilled management, marketing and technical personnel.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

Symantec develops, markets and supports a diversified line of application and
system software products designed to enhance individual and workgroup
productivity as well as manage networked computing environments. Founded in
1982, the Company has offices in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and
Europe.

Due to a number of factors and risks, including the rapid change in hardware and
software technology, market conditions, seasonality in the retail software
market, the timing of product announcements, the release of new or enhanced
products, the introduction of competitive products by existing or new
competitors and the significant risks associated with acquisitions of companies,
technology and software product rights, historical results and percentage
relationships will not necessarily be indicative of the operating results of any
future period. The pending release of Windows 95 by Microsoft is a particularly
important event that increases the uncertainty and will likely increase the
volatility of Symantec's results and common stock price over the next twelve
months.

The Company's earnings and stock price have been and may continue to be subject
to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Symantec has
previously experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected
by securities analysts, which had an immediate and significant adverse effect on
the trading price of the Company's common stock. This may occur again in the
future. Additionally, as a growing percentage of the Company's revenues are
generated from enterprise software products which are frequently sold through
site licenses which often occur late in the quarter, the Company may not learn
of revenue shortfalls until late in the fiscal quarter, which could result in an
even more immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's
common stock. Finally, the Company participates in a highly dynamic industry,
which often results in significant volatility of the Company's common stock
price.

During the last three fiscal years, Symantec has acquired the following
companies:

NET REVENUES.

Net revenues increased 2% from $328.3 million in fiscal 1994 to $334.9 million
in fiscal 1995. The increase in fiscal 1995 net revenues from the prior year is
principally due to an increase in site license and distribution product revenues
which was partially offset by a decrease in upgrade and OEM product revenues.
The increase in site license revenues during fiscal 1995 is primarily due to the
release of several new enterprise products which are generally sold through site
licenses. The decrease in upgrade revenues is primarily due to several products
which were intentionally not upgraded in anticipation of the release of the
Windows 95 operating systems.

Net revenues decreased 5% from $344.6 million in fiscal 1993 to $328.3 million
in fiscal 1994. The decrease in fiscal 1994 net revenues from the prior year is
principally due to the decrease in Central Point product revenues and lower
distribution and OEM revenues which was partially offset by increased revenues
from new product introductions, increased international revenues and increased
upgrade and site license revenues.

of this inventory being returned. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 48, Central Point revenue and the related cost of
revenue for fiscal 1994 for software shipments to Central Point's distributors
and resellers was deferred until sold by the distributors or resellers to the
end user.

As a result, revenues relating to product inventory at Central Point's
distributors and resellers as of March 31, 1994 were deferred until sold by the
distributors or resellers to end users. This revenue and cost of revenue
deferral resulted in a decrease in domestic net revenues of approximately $5.0
million and international net revenues of approximately $10.0 million and an
increase in the fiscal 1994 loss before provision for income taxes of
approximately $12.3 million. Symantec's marketing and sales programs were
successful in moving the domestic deferred channel inventory through to end
users. Symantec has also been analyzing returns related to the Central Point
products for the last four quarters to determine when such products were being
sold through to end users and in the March 1995 quarter Symantec was able to
assess the remaining Central Point product returns in the domestic distribution
channel and as a result recognized approximately $3.0 million of domestic net
revenue previously deferred by Central Point.

Symantec expects to recognize the associated remaining international deferred
revenue when Symantec is able to verify that the remaining international product
sell-through has occurred and is able to estimate any remaining return
exposures. Symantec expects to recognize the remaining deferred revenue
associated with this international distributor inventory in the June 1995
quarter.

The Company's products include enterprise products which are frequently sold
through site licenses where a license for multiple workstations is sold to a
customer at a negotiated price and desktop software products which are generally
sold through the distribution channel or directly to end-users. Enterprise
product revenues are typically comprised of lower volume, high dollar site
license transactions compared to desktop product revenues which are typically
comprised of higher volume, low dollar pre-packaged product transactions. The
prices of site licenses tend to vary based upon the individual products
purchased, the number of units licensed and the number of workstations at the
customer's site. There was no material impact to net revenues resulting from
changes in desktop product pricing.

Price competition is significant in the microcomputer business software market
and may continue to increase and become even more significant in the future,
resulting in reduced profit margins. Should competitive pressures in the
industry continue to increase, Symantec may be required to increase its spending
on sales, marketing and research and development as a percentage of net
revenues, resulting in lower profit margins. In addition, aggressive pricing
strategies of competitors in other software markets, some of whom have
significantly more financial resources than Symantec, may further cause the
Company to reduce software prices and/or increase sales and marketing expenses
on a number of the Company's products.

Net revenues from international sales grew from approximately $106.8 million in
fiscal 1993 to $109.3 million in fiscal 1994 and to $115.6 million in fiscal
1995 and represented 31%, 33% and 35% of net revenues, respectively. The
increase in international sales from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995 is largely due
to the favorable impact of the change in foreign currency exchange rates during
fiscal 1995.

During fiscal 1995, Symantec released several new or upgraded enterprise
products, including The Norton Administrator for Networks v. 1.5, The Norton
Enterprise Backup v. 1.0, The Norton pcANYWHERE Access Server v. 1.0, The Norton
pcANYWHERE for Windows v. 2.0, Symantec Enterprise Developer v. 2.0, The Norton
AntiVirus for Netware v. 2.0, ACT! Mobile Link for Windows v. 2.0, Symantec C++
v. 7.0 for Windows, Time Line for Windows v. 6.1, NetControl v. 1.0 and Symantec
AntiVirus for Macintosh Administrator v. 4.0. The Company also released a
number of new desktop products during fiscal 1995, including More PC Tools for
DOS and Windows, Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh v. 4.0, MacTools Pro v. 4.0,
ACT! v. 2.0 for Macintosh and ACT! v. 1.1 for the HP Palmtops, Disklock MAC v.
3.0 and The Norton Utilities for Macintosh v. 3.1.

Enhanced product releases typically result in net revenue increases during the
first three to six months following their introduction due to upgrade purchases
by existing users, usually at discounted prices, and initial inventory purchases
by the Company's distributors. In addition, between the date the Company
announces a new version or new product and the date of release, distributors,
dealers and end users often delay purchases, cancel orders or return products in
anticipation of the availability of the new version or new product.

The Company's pattern of revenues and earnings may also be affected by a
phenomenon known as "channel fill." Channel fill occurs following the
introduction of a new product or a new version of a product as distributors buy
significant quantities of the new product or version in anticipation of sales of
such product or version. Following such purchases, the rate of distributors'
purchases often declines in a material amount, depending on the rates of
purchases by end users or "sell-through." The phenomenon of "channel fill" may
also occur in anticipation of price increases or in response to sales promotions
or incentives, some of which may be designed to encourage customers to
accelerate purchases that might otherwise occur in later periods. Channels may
also become filled simply because the distributors are unable to, or do not,
sell their inventories to retail distribution or end users as anticipated. If
sell-through does not occur at a sufficient rate, distributors will delay
purchases or cancel orders in later periods or return prior purchases in order
to reduce their inventories. Such order delays or cancellations can cause
material fluctuations in revenues from one quarter to the next. The impact is
somewhat mitigated by the Company's deferral of revenue associated with
inventories estimated to be in excess of levels deemed appropriate in the
domestic distribution channel; however, net revenues may still be materially
affected favorably or adversely by the effects of channel fill. Channel fill
did not have a material impact on the Company's revenues in fiscal 1995, 1994 or
1993 but may have a material impact in future periods, especially in periods
where a large number of new products are introduced. The Company expects to
release a large number of new products when Microsoft releases Windows 95.

Symantec believes that many of its customers are moving toward an enterprise-
wide computing oriented environment where more desktop personal computers will
be interconnected into large local-area and wide-area networks administered by
corporate MIS departments.

Symantec's entry into the enterprise software market is relatively new and as a
result, Symantec is beginning to compete with companies with which it has not
previously competed. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding customer
acceptance of the Company's products as Symantec has not been a major supplier
in the enterprise market. These factors increase the uncertainty of forecasting
financial results. While the Company expects the market's shift toward
enterprise products to continue, there can be no assurance that the Company's
enterprise products will be successful or will gain customer acceptance.

With the expansion to enterprise-wide computing systems markets, Symantec
believes that it must continue to develop relationships with systems integrators
and other third-party vendors that provide consulting and integration services
to customers and deliver products developed for this market segment.

Furthermore, the length of the sales cycle with respect to enterprise products
is longer and customers of enterprise products may take delivery of a product
subject to integration and acceptance by the customer. In addition, a very high
proportion of enterprise product sales are completed in the last few days of
each quarter, in part because customers are able, or believe that they are able,
to negotiate lower prices and more favorable terms. Each of these factors
increase the risk that forecasts of quarterly financial results will not be
achieved.

Approximately 22% and 11% or a total of 33% of the Company's net revenues in
fiscal 1995 were from sales to two large distributors. These customers tend to
make the great majority of their purchases at the end of the fiscal quarter, in
part because they are able, or believe that they are able, to negotiate lower
prices and more favorable terms. This end-of-period buying pattern means that
forecasts of quarterly and annual financial results are particularly vulnerable
to the risk that they will not be achieved, either because expected sales do not
occur or because they occur at lower prices or on less favorable terms to the
Company. The Company's distribution customers also carry the products of the
Company's competitors, some of which have greater financial resources than the
Company. The distributors have limited capital to invest in inventory and their
decisions to purchase the Company's products is partly a function of pricing,
terms and special promotions offered by the Company as well as by its
competitors over which the Company has no control and which it cannot predict.

While Symantec's diverse product line has tended to lessen fluctuations in
quarterly net revenues, these fluctuations have occurred recently and are likely
to occur in the future. These fluctuations may be caused by a number of
factors, including the timing of announcements and releases of new or enhanced
versions of its products and product upgrades, the introduction of competitive
products by existing or new competitors, reduced demand for any given product,
the market's transition between operating systems, and the transition from a
desktop PC environment to an enterprise-wide environment and may cause
significant fluctuations in sales revenues and, accordingly, operating results.

<PAGE>

The Company is devoting substantial efforts to the development of software
products that are designed to operate on Microsoft's new operating system
("Windows 95"), which is currently under development and testing. Microsoft may
incorporate advanced utilities in Windows 95 or in future releases of Windows 95
that may decrease the demand for certain of the Company's products, including
those currently under development. Further, should Microsoft incur further
delays in the development or release of Windows 95, which is scheduled by
Microsoft to be released in August 1995, should Windows 95 not achieve market
acceptance, or should Symantec be unable to successfully or timely develop
products that operate under Windows 95, Symantec's future revenues and,
accordingly, profitability would be immediately and significantly adversely
affected. In addition, as the timing of delivery and adoption of many products
is dependent on Microsoft's delivery of beta and final versions of Windows 95
and the adoption rate of Windows 95, which the Company and securities analysts
are unable to predict, the Company's and securities analysts' ability to
forecast the Company's revenues is being adversely impacted. Also, the Company
expects that demand for certain of its existing utility products will decline in
advance of the Windows 95 release. It is difficult for securities analysts or
the Company to forecast the extent of this decline. For all of the preceding
reasons, there is a heightened risk that revenues and profits will not be in
line with analysts' expectations in the periods preceding and following the
introduction of Windows 95.

The length of Symantec's product development cycle has generally been greater
than Symantec originally expected. Although such delays have undoubtedly had a
material adverse effect on Symantec's business, Symantec is not able to quantify
the magnitude of revenues that were deferred or lost as a result of any
particular delay because Symantec is not able to predict the amount of revenues
that would have been obtained had the original development expectations been
met. Delays in product development, including products being developed for
Windows 95, are likely to occur in the future and could have a material adverse
effect on the amount and timing of future revenues. Due to the inherent
uncertainties of software development projects, Symantec does not generally
disclose or announce the specific expected shipment date of the Company's
product introductions.

In addition, there can be no assurance that any products currently being
developed by Symantec, including products being developed for Windows 95, will
be technologically successful, that any resulting products will achieve market
acceptance or that the Company's products will be effective in competing with
products either currently in the market or introduced in the future.

During fiscal 1993, Symantec believes revenues were adversely affected by an
unexpected substantial price reduction in 486-based personal computers that
caused a shift in customer spending from software to personal computer hardware.
Symantec also believes that the shift was caused by the introduction of Windows
3.1, which requires more computing capability. If the next class of personal
computers, including those based on Intel's Pentium or P6 microprocessor or
Motorola's Power-PC, are also rapidly reduced in price, there may be another
unexpected shift in customer buying away from software and Symantec's products,
which could result in significantly reduced revenues and a material adverse
effect on operating results. Symantec has noted that Pentium processors are
being marketed aggressively by Intel. The introduction of Windows 95 and a
decline in the price of Pentium processors could cause a shift in customer
spending from software to personal computer hardware and could adversely impact
the Company's net revenues.

The Company estimates and maintains reserves for product returns. Increased
product returns occur when the Company introduces product upgrades and new
products and discontinues certain software products. In addition, competitive
factors require the Company to offer increased rights of return for products
that distributors or retail stores are unable to sell. The Company has set its
reserves for returns in accordance with historical product return experience.
Setting reserves involves making significant judgments about future competitive
conditions and product life cycles. Those judgments involve evaluating
information that often is incomplete, unclear and in conflict. Symantec
prepares detailed analyses of historical return rate experiences in its
estimation of reserves for product returns. In addition to detailed historical
return rates, the Company's estimation of return reserves takes into
consideration upcoming product upgrades, current market conditions, distributor
and "superstore" inventory balances and sell-through volume and any other known
factors that may impact anticipated product returns. Based upon returns
experienced, the Company's estimates have been materially accurate. However,
there can be no assurance that historical experience will be an accurate guide
for the future because the rate of returns is primarily a function of the
competitive state of the market in the future and thus, in large part, is a
function of the actions of the Company's competitors, which the Company cannot
accurately anticipate. The Company's product return

20
<PAGE>

reserve balances typically fluctuate from period to period based upon the level
and timing of product upgrade releases. Product return reserve balances at
March 31, 1995 were lower than reserve balances at March 31, 1994. The decrease
is primarily due to Central Point product shipments which were previously
deferred and subsequently sold through to the end users. The level of actual
product returns and related product return reserves is largely a factor of the
level of product sell-in (gross revenue) from normal sales activity and the
replacement of obsolete quantities with the current version of the Company's
product. As a result, gross revenues generally move in the same direction as
product returns. Changes in the levels of product returns and related product
return reserves are generally offset by changing levels of gross revenue and,
therefore, do not typically have a material impact on reported net revenues.

The Company operates with relatively little backlog; therefore, if near-term
demand for the Company's products weakens in a given quarter, there could be a
material adverse effect on revenues and on the Company's operating results.

Symantec maintains a research and development facility in Santa Monica,
California that was damaged during the January 1994 earthquake in Southern
California. Much of the Company's administration, sales and marketing,
manufacturing facilities and research and development efforts are located on the
west coast of the United States. Future earthquakes or other natural disasters
could cause a significant disruption to the Company's operations and may cause
delays in product development that could adversely impact future revenues of the
Company.

Also, Symantec's order entry department is located in Oregon, with shipments
being made from a warehouse in California. Order entry and shipping is
similarly separated in Europe. A disruption in communications between these
facilities, particularly at the end of a fiscal quarter would likely result in
an unexpected shortfall in revenues and could result in unexpected losses.

During the March 1994 quarter, Symantec introduced a new product support program
that provides a wide variety of free and fee-based technical support services to
its customers. Symantec provides its customers with free support via electronic
and automated services as well as 90 days complimentary free telephone support
for certain of the Company's products. In addition, Symantec offers both
individual users and corporate customers a variety of fee-based support options
for certain of the Company's products, designed to meet their individual
technical support requirements. Fee-based technical support services did not
generate significant revenues in the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and are
not expected to generate material revenues in the near future.

GROSS MARGIN.

Gross margin represents net revenues less cost of revenues. Cost of revenues
consists primarily of manufacturing expenses, manuals, packaging, royalties paid
to third parties under publishing contracts and amortization and write-off of
capitalized software. Amortization of capitalized software, including
amortization and the write-off of both purchased product rights and capitalized
software development expenses, totaled $6.4 million, $17.8 million and $17.5
million for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in
amortization and write-off of capitalized software costs in fiscal 1995 over
fiscal 1994 and 1993 is due to the write-off of certain previously capitalized
software costs by Central Point during fiscal 1994 and by Fifth Generation in
fiscal 1993.

Gross margins increased to 82% of net revenues in fiscal 1995 from 76% and 70%
in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in the gross margin
percentage in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994 was largely due to the growth
in higher margin enterprise products which are typically sold through site
licenses and is also due to Symantec's ability to manufacture Central Point
products with a lower cost structure than Central Point was able to prior to the
merger. In addition, the decrease in amortization expense of capitalized
software contributed to the increase in the gross margin percentage in fiscal
1995. The increase in the gross margin percentage in fiscal 1994 compared to
fiscal 1993 was due to improvements in the gross margin percentage of Fifth
Generation's products and the gradual shift in Symantec's product mix from
desktop products toward higher margin enterprise products in fiscal 1994 which
was partially offset by the decline in Central Point's gross margin percentage
due to its software write-offs. This improvement in the gross margin percentage
of Fifth Generation's products was largely due to the absence of significant
software amortization and write-off of capitalized software by Fifth Generation
during fiscal 1993. Additionally, Symantec was able to produce the Fifth
Generation products with a lower cost structure than Fifth Generation was able
to prior to the merger. Symantec believes that the gross margin percentage will
remain near the current level unless there is a significant change in Symantec's
net revenues.

The microcomputer business software market has been subject to rapid changes
that can be expected to continue. Future technology or market changes,
including the release of Windows 95, may cause certain products to become
obsolete more quickly than expected and thus may result in capitalized software
write-offs and an increase in required inventory reserves and, therefore,
reduced gross margins and net income. In addition, the modifications to
computer software, including the correction of software bugs, may result in
significant inventory rework costs, including the cost of replacing inventory in
the distribution channel.

On December 31, 1993, Symantec acquired certain technology for developing an
architecture and tools to build client-server applications from DataEase
International, Inc. in exchange for 391,456 shares of Symantec common stock and
cancellation of the principal and accrued interest on a $1.0 million outstanding
note receivable. The Company capitalized approximately $7.7 million of
purchased product rights as a result of this transaction.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.

Research and development expenses decreased 2% to $62.8 million or 19% of net
revenues in fiscal 1995 from $64.1 million or 20% of net revenues in fiscal
1994, and was $71.1 million or 21% of net revenues in fiscal 1993. The decrease
in research and development expenses in fiscal 1995 is principally due to the
consolidation of product development efforts resulting from the acquisition of
Central Point. The decrease in research and development expenses in fiscal 1994
was primarily due to lower spending on the Company's security utility product
development efforts resulting from the consolidation of the development efforts
of Symantec and Fifth Generation and a $2.0 million decrease in spending
relating to Central Point products.

Symantec believes increased research and development expenditures will be
necessary in order to remain competitive and expects research and development
expenses to increase in dollar amount.

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Financial accounting rules requiring capitalization of certain internal software
development costs did not materially affect the Company in the periods
presented.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 11% to $147.6 million or 44% of net
revenues in fiscal 1995 from $165.1 million or 50% of net revenues in fiscal
1994. The decrease in fiscal 1995 was principally due to the elimination of
duplicative sales organizations as a result of the acquisition of Central Point.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Central Point by Symantec in fiscal 1995,
various duplicative sales organizations were eliminated as a result of the
combination of the companies. Sales and marketing expenses for fiscal 1994
decreased 8% over fiscal 1993 due to the elimination of duplicative sales
organizations as a result of the acquisitions of Fifth Generation and Contact
and the reduction of sales and marketing expenses incurred by Central Point.

Symantec believes substantial sales and marketing efforts are essential to
achieve revenue growth and to maintain and enhance Symantec's competitive
position. Accordingly, with the continued expansion of its international
operations, as well as the introduction of new and upgraded products, including
products currently being developed for Windows 95, Symantec expects the expenses
associated with these efforts to increase in dollar amount and to continue to
constitute its most significant operating expense. There can be no assurance
that these increased sales and marketing efforts will be successful. Symantec
believes that the Company's sales and marketing expenses may increase
significantly in the September 1995 quarter to support the introduction of
Windows 95 products. These sales and marketing expenses may become committed,
and may be unable to be reduced, even if Microsoft announces a delay in Windows
95. This situation would have a material adverse impact on profitability.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.

General and administrative expenses decreased 33% from $25.2 million or 8% of
net revenues in fiscal 1994 to $17.0 million or 5% of net revenues in fiscal
1995. This decrease was principally due to benefits resulting from the
consolidation of the general and administrative functions of Symantec and
Central Point. Subsequent to the acquisition of Central Point by Symantec in
fiscal 1995, various duplicative general and administrative functions were
eliminated as a result of the combination of the companies. In addition,
general and administrative expenses

22
<PAGE>

decreased due to the settlement of two class action lawsuits in fiscal 1994
resulting in a decrease in legal expenses during fiscal 1995.

General and administrative expenses decreased 19% from $31.1 million or 9% of
net revenues in fiscal 1993 to $25.2 million or 8% of net revenues in fiscal
1994. This decrease was principally due to benefits resulting from the
consolidation of the general and administrative functions of Contact and Fifth
Generation at Symantec's corporate headquarters, which was partially offset by
increases in legal expenses associated with two class action lawsuits (See
Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Future growth of the Company is expected to result in an increase in the dollar
amount of general and administrative spending from current levels.

ACQUISITION, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXPENSES.

ACQUISITION EXPENSES. In connection with the various acquisitions completed in
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 (see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and
Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), significant acquisition
expenses were incurred. These acquisition expenses principally included fees
for legal, accounting and financial advisory services, the write-off of
duplicative capitalized technology, the modification of certain development
contracts and expenses related to the combination of the companies, including
the elimination of duplicative and excess facilities and personnel. These
charges approximated $9.5 million, $25.9 million and $5.1 million in fiscal
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

In connection with the acquisitions of Central Point and SLR, Symantec recorded
total acquisition charges of $9.5 million in fiscal 1995. The charges included
$3.2 million for legal, accounting and financial advisory services, $1.0 million
for the write-off of duplicative product-related expenses and modification of
certain development contracts, $0.9 million for the elimination of duplicative
and excess facilities, $3.1 million for personnel severance and outplacement
expenses, and $1.3 million for the consolidation and discontinuance of certain
operational activities and other acquisition related expenses.

Symantec has completed a number of acquisitions and expects to acquire other
companies in the future. In addition to the significant business risks
associated with acquisitions, including the successful combination of the
companies in an efficient and timely manner, the coordination of research and
development and sales efforts, the retention of key personnel and the
integration of the acquired products, Symantec typically incurs significant
acquisition expenses for legal, accounting and financial advisory services, the
write-off of duplicative technology and other expenses related to the
combination of the companies. These expenses may have a significant adverse
impact on the Company's future profitability and financial resources.

RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES. During fiscal 1994, Symantec implemented a plan to
consolidate and centralize certain operational activities (See Note 10 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements). The plan was designed to reduce
operating expenses and enhance operational efficiencies by centralizing certain
order administration, technical support and customer service activities in
Eugene, Oregon. In fiscal 1994, the Company recorded a charge of $4.7 million,
which included $1.1 million for the elimination of duplicative and excess
facility expenses, $1.5 million for the relocation of the Company's existing
operations and equipment, $1.1 million for employee relocation expenses and $1.0
million for employee severance payments. The Company's centralization has been
completed.

During fiscal 1994, Central Point incurred $16.0 million of expenses related to
the restructuring of its operations in order to reduce its overall cost
structure and to redirect its software development and marketing efforts away
from the personal desktop computer market toward personal computer network
markets. The charge included $6.2 million for employee severance, outplacement
and relocation expenses, $5.6 million for the write-off of certain excess fixed
and intangible assets, $1.8 million for lease abandonments and facility
relocation and $2.4 million for the consolidation and discontinuance of certain
operational activities and other related expenses. This restructuring has been
substantially completed.

During fiscal 1993, Symantec recorded a $4.4 million charge for expenses related
to the restructuring of certain operational functions within the Company. The
plan was designed to reduce operating expenses and reallocate resources from DOS
products to Windows and Development Tools products. This charge included $1.0
million for the elimination of excess facilities, $0.4 million for the
relocation of certain employees and $3.0 million for

23
<PAGE>

outplacement expenses and severance payments associated with the reduction in
staffing. This restructuring has been completed.

During fiscal 1993, Central Point incurred $0.7 million of charges related to
the restructuring of its operations, including the sale of its manufacturing
operations, personnel relocation and severance, and the write-off of certain
property and equipment. This restructuring has been completed.

OTHER EXPENSES. During fiscal 1994, Symantec reached an agreement with the
plaintiffs and Symantec's insurance carriers to settle two securities class
actions and a related derivative lawsuit brought by stockholders of Symantec
(See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The combined
settlement amount of the cases was $19.0 million, approximately $12.5 million of
which was paid by Symantec's insurance carriers. Symantec recorded a charge in
fiscal 1994 of $6.5 million, representing Symantec's portion of the settlement.

During fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a $2.6 million charge for estimated
total legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the Borland civil
lawsuit and the related criminal prosecution (See Notes 10 and 11 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Symantec is involved in a number of other judicial and administrative
proceedings incidental to its business (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). The Company intends to defend all of these lawsuits
vigorously and although an unfavorable outcome could occur in one or more of the
cases, the final resolution of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate,
is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of
the Company. However, depending on the amount and timing of an unfavorable
resolution of these lawsuits, it is possible that the Company's future results
of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely effected in a
particular period.

In fiscal 1994, Central Point purchased from unrelated parties certain in-
process software technologies for $3.0 million which was immediately expensed.
(See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

As of March 31, 1995, total accrued acquisition and restructuring expenses were
$8.6 million and included $1.1 million for the modification of certain
development contracts, $1.4 million for the elimination of duplicative and
excess facilities, $1.3 million for employee severance, outplacement and
relocation expenses and $4.8 million for the consolidation and discontinuance of
certain operational activities and other acquisition related expenses.

INTEREST INCOME, INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).

Interest income was $3.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.7 million in fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in interest income in fiscal 1995
over fiscal 1994 is due to higher average invested cash balances and higher
average interest rates on invested cash. Interest expense was $2.4 million,
$2.5 million and $1.4 million in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
increase in interest expenses in fiscal 1995 and 1994 over fiscal 1993 is
principally due to interest expense on convertible subordinated debentures which
were issued on April 2, 1993, which was partially offset by the retirement of
acquired company debt. On April 26, 1995, convertible subordinated debentures
totaling $10.0 million were converted into 833,333 shares of Symantec common
stock. As a result, interest expense is expected to decrease in fiscal 1996.
Other expense is primarily comprised of foreign currency exchange losses from
fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The Company conducts business in various foreign currencies and is therefore
subject to the transaction exposures that arise from foreign exchange rate
movements between the dates that foreign currency transactions are recorded and
the date that they are settled. Symantec utilizes some natural hedging to
mitigate the Company's transaction exposures and, effective December 31, 1993,
the Company commenced hedging some residual transaction exposures through the
use of 30-day forward contracts. At March 31, 1995, there was a total of
approximately $30.0 million of outstanding forward exchange contracts. The net
liability of forward contracts was approximately $12.3 million at
March 31, 1995. There have been no significant gains or losses to date with
respect to these activities. Gains or losses would occur on 30-day forward
contracts held by the Company when changes in foreign currency exchange rates
occur. These gains and losses should be largely offset by the transaction gains
and losses resulting from foreign currency denominated cash, accounts
receivable, intercompany balances and trade payables. There can be no assurance
that these strategies will continue to be effective or that transaction gains or
losses can be minimized or forecasted accurately. The Company does not hedge
its translation risk.

INCOME TAXES.

The effective income tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 26%, which compared to an
effective income tax benefit rate of 11% in fiscal 1994 and 29% in fiscal 1993.
The 1995 income tax rate of 26% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due
to the benefit of preacquisition losses of Central Point and certain foreign
earnings taxed at lower rates, which were partially offset by Central Point
acquisition costs that were not deductible for income tax purposes.

A net deferred tax asset of approximately $9.9 million is reflected in the
financial statements. Approximately $25 million of future U.S. taxable income
will be necessary to realize this net deferred tax asset. While there can be no
assurance that future income will be sufficient to realize this benefit,
management believes that this benefit will be realized in the near future based
on projected income from new and existing products. A valuation allowance of
$28.9 million was provided in the financial statements. The valuation allowance
consists primarily of $14.7 million for Central Point preacquisition losses and
$11.1 million for unbenefitted stock option deductions, the benefit of which
will be credited to equity when realized. The remaining portion of the
valuation allowance represents net operating loss carryforwards of various
acquired companies that are limited under the "change of ownership" rules of
Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and short-term investments increased $44.7 million from $60.5 million at
March 31, 1994 to $105.2 million at March 31, 1995, largely due to cash provided
from operating activities, net proceeds from the sales of common stock and the
exercise of stock options which was partially offset by cash expenditures for
capital equipment and purchased intangibles. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $50.1 million and was primarily due to the change in net assets
and liabilities, non-cash related expenses and the Company's net income of $28.5
million.

Trade accounts receivable increased $5.7 million from $48.3 million at March 31,
1994 to $54.0 million at March 31, 1995 primarily due to the increase in
Symantec's product revenues during the March 1995 quarter over the March 1994
quarter. The large decline in other current assets from $13.7 million at
March 31, 1994 to $6.3 million at March 31, 1995 was principally due to the
write-off and elimination of other assets acquired from Central Point.

The Company has a $10.0 million line of credit that expires in October 1995.
The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at the banks' reference (prime) interest rate (9.0% at March 31, 1995),
the U.S. offshore rate plus 1.5%, a CD rate plus 1.5% or LIBOR plus 1.5%, at the
Company's discretion. The line of credit requires bank approval for the payment
of cash dividends. Borrowings under this line are unsecured and are subject to
the Company maintaining certain financial ratios and profits. At March 31,
1995, there was approximately $ 0.5 million of outstanding standby letters of
credit under this line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under
this line at March 31, 1995. The Company was in compliance with the debt
covenants at March 31, 1995. Company acquisitions in the future may cause the
Company to be in violation of the line of credit covenants; however, Symantec
believes that if the line of credit were canceled or amounts were not available
under the line, there would not be a material adverse impact on the financial
results, liquidity or capital resources of the Company.

The Company may utilize significant amounts of cash in connection with the
potential acquisition of additional companies and software product rights in the
future. However, if the Company were to sustain significant losses, there can
be no assurances that the bank line of credit, which is available through
October 1995, would remain available. Additionally, the Company could be
required to reduce operating expenses, which could result in further product
delays; reassess acquisition opportunities, which could negatively impact the
Company's growth objectives; and/or pursue further financing options. The
Company believes existing cash and short-term investments will be sufficient to
fund operations for the next year.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Symantec Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Symantec
Corporation as of March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended March 31, 1995. Our audit also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These
consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements of Fifth Generation Systems, Inc., which
statements reflect a net loss constituting approximately 39% of the related 1993
consolidated financial statement total. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to data included for Fifth Generations Systems, Inc., is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Symantec Corporation
at March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fifth Generation Systems, Inc.:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Fifth Generation Systems, Inc.
(the Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1992 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fifth Generation
Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principals.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
substantially all of the Company's debt matured May 15, 1993 and redemption of
one half of the redeemable preferred stock is redeemable June 30, 1993. In
addition, the Company suffered substantial losses from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1992. These situations raise substantial doubt about the
entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in note 1. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS
Symantec develops, markets and supports a diversified line of application and
system software products designed to enhance individual and workgroup
productivity as well as manage networked computing environments.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Symantec Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Symantec" or the
"Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, Symantec acquired various companies in
transactions accounted for as poolings of interest. Accordingly, all financial
information has been restated to reflect the combined operations of Symantec and
the acquired companies with the exception of Intec, SLR, MultiScope and
Whitewater. The results of operations of these companies were not material to
Symantec's consolidated financial statements and, therefore, prior year amounts
were not combined with Symantec's financial statements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
In general, the local currency is the functional currency of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates. The
cumulative translation adjustments resulting from this process are shown
separately as a component of stockholders' equity. Revenues and expenses are
translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are not material and are included in the
determination of net income (loss).

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Symantec recognizes revenue upon shipment when no significant vendor obligations
remain and collection of the receivable, net of provisions for estimated future
returns, is probable. Prior to fiscal 1994, Central Point generally recognized
revenue upon shipment, along with a provision for estimated returns. Due to
significant changes in the market's perception of Central Point's long-term
viability and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization signed by Symantec and
Central Point in fiscal 1994, Central Point was no longer able to reasonably
estimate future returns from distributors and resellers. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48, revenue and the related cost
of revenue for 1994 for software shipments to these distributors and resellers
was deferred until sold by the distributor or reseller to the end user. The
effect of this revenue and cost of revenue deferral was to increase the 1994
loss before provision for income taxes.

Amounts related to significant post-contract support agreements (generally
product maintenance agreements) are deferred and recognized over the period of
the agreements. The estimated cost of providing insignificant post-contract
support (generally telephone support) is accrued at the time of the sale.

In March 1994, due to the market's concerns regarding Central Point's long-term
viability and the announced acquisition of Central Point by Symantec, Central
Point was unable to reasonably estimate future product returns from its
distributors and resellers. In addition, there were high levels of inventory in
the distribution channel which had been shipped into the channel prior to the
acquisition. Central Point believed that there was a high risk of this
inventory being returned. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 48, Central Point revenue and the related cost of revenue for
fiscal 1994 for software shipments to Central Point's distributors and resellers
was deferred until sold by the distributors or resellers to the end user.

39

SYMANTEC CORPORATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

domestic deferred channel inventory through to end users. Symantec has also
been analyzing returns related to the Central Point products for the last four
quarters to determine when such products were being sold through to end users
and in the March 1995 quarter Symantec was able to assess the remaining Central
Point product returns in the domestic distribution channel and as a result
recognized approximately $3.0 million of domestic net revenue previously
deferred by Central Point.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Symantec considers investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with an
original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. In fiscal 1995,
the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115
("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." All of the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments,
consisting principally of commercial paper and auction rate preferred bonds, are
classified as available-for-sale as of the balance sheet date and are reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-
temporary are included in interest income. The cost of securities sold is based
upon the specific identification method. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, prior
period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in
accounting principle. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 was not
material to the Company's financial statements.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally
determined using currently adjusted standards, which approximate actual cost on
a first-in, first-out basis.

EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets,
generally the shorter of the lease term or three to seven years.

PURCHASED INTANGIBLES
Purchased intangibles are comprised of acquired software ("product rights") and
are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The cost of product rights
represents the fair value of various software products acquired by Symantec.
Amortization is provided on the greater of the straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years,
or on the basis of the ratio of current revenues to current revenues plus
anticipated future revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Financial accounting rules requiring capitalization of certain software
development costs have not materially affected the Company.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock or the
modified treasury stock method, as applicable. Common stock equivalents are
attributable to outstanding stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share
includes the assumed conversion of all of the outstanding convertible
subordinated debentures.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of short-term investments and trade accounts
receivable. The Company's investment portfolio is diversified and consists of
investment grade securities. The credit risk in the Company's trade accounts
receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company's credit evaluation
process, reasonably short collection terms and the geographical dispersion of
sales transactions.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND PURCHASED PRODUCT RIGHTS

During the three fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, Symantec completed
acquisitions of the following companies:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Shares of Acquired
Symantec Company
Common Stock
Stock Options
Companies Acquired Date Acquired Issued Assumed
- --------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- -----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>

Central Point Software, Inc. ("Central Point") June 1, 1994 4,029,429 707,452
SLR Systems, Inc. ("SLR") May 31, 1994 170,093 --
Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. ("Fifth Generation") October 4, 1993 2,769,010 --
Contact Software International, Inc. ("Contact") June 2, 1993 2,404,019 232,589
Certus International Corporation ("Certus") November 30, 1992 368,141 32,619
MultiScope, Inc. ("MultiScope") September 2, 1992 253,075 125,089
The Whitewater Group, Inc. ("Whitewater") September 2, 1992 69,740 9,644
</TABLE>

All of these acquisitions were accounted for as poolings of interest. In
connection with the acquisitions of the companies listed above, Symantec
incurred significant acquisition expenses (See Note 10). Due to differing year
ends of Symantec, Fifth Generation, Contact and Certus, financial information
for dissimilar fiscal year ends was combined. Fifth Generation's fiscal year
ended December 31, 1992 was combined with Symantec's fiscal year ended
March 31, 1993. Accordingly, Fifth Generation's results of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 1993 were charged to stockholders' equity. Fifth
Generation's net loss of $16.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1993 was
largely due to the decline in net revenues to $1.9 million and the write-off of
previously capitalized software costs. Contact's fiscal years ended June 30,
1993 and 1992 were combined with Symantec's fiscal years ended March 31, 1993
and 1992, respectively. Accordingly, Contact's results for the quarter ended
June 30, 1992 were duplicated in the combined statements of operations for
fiscal 1993 and 1992 and Contact's net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1992,
was credited to stockholders' equity. Contact's net revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 1992 were $3.4 million. Certus' fiscal year ended December 31,
1991 was combined with Symantec's fiscal year ended March 31, 1992.
Accordingly, Certus' results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1992
were charged to stockholders' equity. Certus' net revenues for the quarter
ended March 31, 1992 were $0.8 million.

In addition, during the year ended March 31, 1994, Central Point acquired
Executive Systems, Inc. ("XTree"), which was accounted for as a pooling of
interest. Due to differing fiscal year ends of Central Point and XTree,
financial information related to XTree's fiscal year ended September 30, 1992,
was combined with financial information related to Central Point's year ended
March 31, 1993. Accordingly, XTree's results of operations for the six months
ended March 31, 1993, were charged to stockholders' equity. XTree reported net
revenues of $6.9 million and a net loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1993.

NOTE 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS

All cash equivalents and short-term investments have been classified as
available-for-sale securities and as of March 31, 1995 consisted of the
following:

Unrealized Unrealized Estimated

---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>

---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

</TABLE>

All of the Company's available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 1995 have a
contractual maturity of one year or less. For the year ended March 31, 1995,
there were no material sales of available-for-sale securities. Fair values of
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate cost due to the
short period to maturity.

Symantec utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate the Company's transaction
exposures and effective December 31, 1993, the Company commenced hedging some
residual transaction exposures through the use of 30-day foreign exchange
forward contracts. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts
with financial institutions primarily to protect against currency exchange risks
associated with certain firmly committed transactions. Fair value of foreign
exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices. At March 31, 1995
there was a total notional amount of approximately $30.0 million of outstanding
foreign exchange forward contracts all of which were less than 30 days old. The
net liability of forward contracts was a notional amount of approximately $12.3
million at March 31, 1995. Fair value of foreign currency exchange forward
contracts approximate cost due to the short period to maturity. The Company
does not hedge its translation risk.

The estimated fair value of the $25.0 million convertible subordinated
debentures, was approximately $49.0 million at March 31, 1995. The estimated
fair value was based on the total shares of common stock reserved for issuance
upon conversion of the debentures at the closing price of the Company's common
stock at March 31, 1995.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

On April 2, 1993, the Company issued convertible subordinated debentures
totaling $25.0 million. The debentures bear interest at 7.75% payable
semiannually and are convertible into Symantec common stock at $12 per share at
the option of the investor. The debentures are due in three equal annual
installments beginning in 1999 and are redeemable at the option of the investors
in the event of a change in control of Symantec or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or at the option of the Company
at the face amount plus interest should the Company's then current stock price
meet or exceed $16.80 per share. The holders are entitled to certain
registration rights relating to the shares of common stock resulting from the
conversion of the debentures. The Company has reserved 2,083,333 shares of
common stock to be issued upon conversion of these debentures. The debentures
limit the payment of cash dividends and the repurchase of capital stock to a
total of $10.0 million plus 25% of cumulative net income subsequent to April 2,
1993.

On April 26, 1995, convertible subordinated debentures totaling $10.0 million
were converted into 833,333 shares of Symantec common stock.

NOTE 5. LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a $10.0 million bank line of credit that expires in October
1995. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at the banks' reference (prime) interest rate (9.0% at March 31, 1995),
the U.S. offshore rate plus 1.5%, a CD rate plus 1.5% or LIBOR plus 1.5%, at the
Company's discretion. The line of credit requires bank approval for the payment
of cash dividends. Borrowings under this line are unsecured and are subject to
the Company maintaining certain financial ratios and profits. The Company was
in compliance with the line of credit covenants as of March 31, 1995. At
March 31, 1995, there was approximately $0.5 million of standby letters of
credit outstanding under this line of credit. There were no borrowings
outstanding under this line at March 31, 1995.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Symantec leases all of its facilities and certain equipment under operating
leases that expire at various dates through 2026.

The future fiscal year minimum operating lease commitments were as follows at

Approximately $11.1 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
is attributable to stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be
credited to equity when realized. The remaining portion of the valuation
allowance is comprised primarily of $14.7 million for Central Point
preacquisition losses and $3.1 million for net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards of other acquired companies that are limited under the "change of
ownership" rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The change in the
valuation allowance for the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was a net
decrease of $0.4 million and a net increase of $27.4 million, respectively.

Pretax income (loss) from foreign operations was approximately $22.3 million,
$10.0 million and $(4.6) million for the years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

At March 31, 1995, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of $6.2 million that
expire in fiscal 1997 through 2010 and net operating loss carryforwards of $35.3
million that expire in fiscal 1999 through 2010.

NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

401(K) PLAN
Symantec maintains a salary deferral 401(k) plan for all of its domestic
employees. The plan allows employees to contribute up to 15% of their pretax
salary up to the maximum dollar limitation prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Code. Symantec matches 50% of employees' contributions up to 6% of the
employees' contribution. Company contributions under the plan were $1.2
million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the years ended March 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In October 1989, the Company established the 1989 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
and has reserved 1.1 million shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.
During fiscal 1995, Symantec shareholders approved an increase in the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan from 1.1 million to
1.5 million. Subject to certain limitations, Symantec employees may purchase,
through payroll deductions of 2 to 10% of compensation, shares of common stock
at a price per share that is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value as of
the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period. As of
March 31, 1995, 1.0 million shares had been issued under the plan.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has reserved 13.8 million shares of its common stock for issuance as
incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, officers, directors,
consultants and independent contractors, including an increase of 4.0 million
shares approved in fiscal 1995 by Symantec's stockholders for issuance under the
1988 Employees Stock Option Plan. Options under the Company's option plans may
be granted at prices not less than 100% of fair market value on the date of
grant, have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest over a four-year
period. In addition, the Company has reserved an additional 0.6 million shares
of its common stock for issuance under acquired company option plans and
acquired company warrants.

During September 1992 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to offer to
each employee with stock options having an exercise price greater than $11 (the
"Old Options") the opportunity to amend the terms of the Old Options and reduce
the exercise price to $11 per share (the fair market value of the Company's
stock as of the offer date). Under the terms of this stock option repricing, no
portion of any repriced option (the "Repriced Options") could be exercised until
September 23, 1993 and each Repriced Option was converted to a nonqualified
stock option. Options representing 3,128,290 shares of common stock were
repriced. The President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice
President, Worldwide Operations, and Chief Financial Officer and the members of
the Board of Directors elected to exclude themselves from this stock option
repricing.

NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As part of the acquisition of Peter Norton Computing, Incorporated ("Norton") in
fiscal 1991, Symantec assumed Norton's perpetual exclusive license agreement
with Mr. Norton, a member of Symantec's Board of Directors until his resignation
on September 27, 1994, to use his name and image for computer software products.
Under the terms of the license, Mr. Norton is entitled to receive a royalty
equal to the greater of 1% of net sales or 0.4% of the suggested retail price of
products bearing Mr. Norton's name. Mr. Norton may terminate the agreement if
Symantec fails to pay Mr. Norton an average of at least $30,000 of royalties in
any three consecutive years. Royalty expense under the agreement was $1.9
million, $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the years ended March 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

Additionally, in connection with certain indemnification agreements entered into
as part of the acquisition of Norton, Mr. Norton agreed to reimburse Symantec
for certain litigation and acquisition costs in excess of specified amounts.

The net amount payable to Mr. Norton pursuant to these agreements at
March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

On August 31, 1994, Symantec completed the acquisition of Intec Systems
Corporation ("Intec"). No significant acquisition expenses related to the
combination of Symantec and Intec were incurred.

In connection with the acquisitions of Central Point and SLR (See Notes 2 and
10), Symantec recorded total acquisition charges of $9.5 million in fiscal 1995.
The charges included $3.2 million for legal, accounting and financial advisory
services, $1.0 million for the write-off of duplicative product-related expenses
and modification of certain development contracts, $0.9 million for the
elimination of duplicative and excess facilities, $3.1 million for personnel
severance and outplacement expenses, and $1.3 million for the consolidation and
discontinuance of certain operational activities and other acquisition related
expenses.

In connection with the acquisitions of Fifth Generation and Contact by Symantec
and the acquisition of XTree by Central Point (See Notes 2 and 10), the Company
recorded total charges of $25.9 million in fiscal 1994. The charges included
$4.3 million for legal, accounting and financial advisory services, $7.6 million
for the write-off of duplicative product related expenses and modification of
certain development contracts, $3.6 million for the elimination of duplicative
and excess facilities, $5.3 million for personnel severance and outplacement
expenses, and $5.1 million for the consolidation and discontinuance of certain
operational activities and other acquisition related expenses.

In connection with the acquisitions of Certus, Whitewater and MultiScope in
fiscal 1993 (See Notes 2 and 10), Symantec incurred significant acquisition
expenses for legal, accounting and financial advisory services and expenses
related to the combination of the companies, including the elimination of
duplicative and excess facilities and personnel. These expenses approximated
$5.1 million in fiscal 1993.

During fiscal 1994, Symantec implemented a plan to consolidate and centralize
certain operational activities. The plan was designed to reduce operating
expenses and enhance operational efficiencies by centralizing certain order
administration, technical support and customer service activities in Eugene,
Oregon. The Company recorded a charge of $4.7 million which included $1.1
million for the elimination of duplicative and excess facility expenses, $1.5
million for the relocation of the Company's existing operations and equipment,
$1.1 million for employee relocation expenses and $1.0 million for employee
severance payments. The Company's centralization has been completed.

<PAGE>

excess fixed and intangible assets, $1.8 million for lease abandonments and
facility relocation and $2.4 million for the consolidation and discontinuance of
certain operational activities and other related expenses. Of the total
charges, $5.9 million resulted from the write-off of assets and $10.1 million
involved cash outflows. This restructuring has been substantially completed.

During fiscal 1993, Symantec recorded a $4.4 million charge for expenses
relating to the restructuring of certain operational functions within the
Company. The plan was designed to reduce operating expenses and reallocate
resources from DOS products to Windows and Development Tools products. This
charge included $1.0 million for the elimination of excess facilities, $0.4
million for the relocation of certain employees and $3.0 million for
outplacement expenses and severance payments associated with the reduction in
staffing. This restructuring has been completed.

During fiscal 1993, Central Point incurred $0.7 million of charges related to
the restructuring of its operations, including the sale of its manufacturing
operation, personnel relocation and severance, and the write-off of certain
property and equipment. This restructuring has been completed.

During fiscal 1994, Central Point purchased from unrelated parties certain in-
process software technologies for approximately $3.0 million which was
immediately expensed.

During fiscal 1994, Symantec reached an agreement with the plaintiffs and
Symantec's insurance carriers to settle two securities class action lawsuits and
a related derivative lawsuit brought by stockholders of Symantec. The combined
settlement amount of the cases was $19.0 million, approximately $12.5 million of
which was paid by Symantec's insurance carriers. Symantec recorded a charge of
$6.5 million representing Symantec's portion of the class action settlement.

NOTE 11. LITIGATION

On May 19, 1995, Personal Computer Peripherals Corporation ("PCPC") filed a
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Symantec
and five other companies, alleging that the defendants' products for backing up
data on a computer network infringe a patent held by PCPC. The complaint seeks
an injunction preventing the sale of infringing products. Symantec believes
that the complaint has no merit.

On December 30, 1994, Software Engineering Carmel ("Carmel") filed a lawsuit in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon against Central Point, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Carmel developed and maintains the
anti-virus program distributed by Central Point. The complaint alleges that
Central Point breached its contract with Carmel by not fulfilling an implied
obligation under the contract to use its best efforts or, alternatively, its
reasonable efforts to market the anti-virus program developed by Carmel. The
complaint also alleges that Central Point violated the non-competition provision
in its agreement, by selling a competing anti-virus program, apparently based on
Symantec's sale of its own anti-virus product. The complaint seeks damages in
the amount of $6.75 million and a release of Carmel from its obligation not to
sell competing products. Symantec believes the complaint has no merit.

On September 3, 1992, Borland International, Inc. ("Borland") filed a lawsuit in
the Superior Court for Santa Cruz County, California against Symantec, Gordon E.
Eubanks, Jr. (Symantec's President and Chief Executive Officer) and Eugene Wang
(an Executive Vice President of Symantec who is a former employee of Borland).
The complaint, as amended, alleges misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair
competition, inducing breach of contract,

49
<PAGE>

interference with prospective economic advantage and unjust enrichment. Borland
alleged that prior to joining Symantec, Mr. Wang transmitted to Mr. Eubanks
confidential information concerning Borland's product and marketing plans.
Borland claims damages in an unspecified amount. Symantec has denied the
allegations of Borland's complaint and contends that Borland has suffered no
damages from the alleged actions. Borland obtained a temporary restraining
order and a preliminary injunction prohibiting the defendants from using,
disseminating or destroying any Borland proprietary information or trade
secrets. Symantec filed a cross complaint against Borland alleging that Borland
had committed abuse of process and defamation in publishing statements that
Symantec had acted in contempt of a temporary restraining order. The case is
not being actively prosecuted at this time pending the outcome of the criminal
proceedings, discussed below. Symantec believes the claims have no merit.

On September 2, 1992, the Scotts Valley, California police department, operating
with search warrants for Borland proprietary and trade secret information,
searched Symantec's offices and the homes of Messrs. Eubanks and Wang and
removed documents and other materials. On February 26, 1993, criminal
indictments were filed against Messrs. Eubanks and Wang for allegedly violating
various California Penal Code Sections relating to the misappropriation of trade
secrets and unauthorized access to a computer system. On August 23, 1993, the
Court recused the District Attorney's Office from prosecution of the action. On
October 5, 1993, the State Attorney General and the District Attorney's Office
filed a Notice of Appeal of the Order. The matter is still pending in the
appellate court. Symantec believes the criminal charges against Messrs. Eubanks
and Wang have no merit.

On June 11, 1992, Dynamic Microprocessor Associates, Inc. ("DMA"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Symantec, commenced an action against EKD Computer Sales &
Supplies Corporation ("EKD"), a former licensee of DMA and Thomas Green, a
principal of EKD, for copyright infringement, violations of the Lanham Act,
trademark infringement, misappropriation, deceptive acts and practices and
unfair competition and breach of contract. On July 14, 1992, the Suffolk County
sheriff's department conducted a search of EKD's premises and seized and
impounded thousands of infringing articles. On July 21, 1992, the Court issued
a preliminary injunction against EKD and Mr. Green, enjoining them from
manufacturing, marketing, distributing, copying or purporting to license DMA's
pcANYWHERE III or using DMA's marks.

On July 20, 1992 and in a subsequent amendment, EKD and Mr. Green answered
Symantec's complaint denying all liability and asserting counterclaims against
Symantec and Lee Rautenberg, a former principal of DMA. In May 1993, EKD and
Mr. Green were granted permission to file a Second Amended Answer and
counterclaims that dropped every previously raised claim and now allege that DMA
obtained the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in bad faith
and that DMA, Symantec and Mr. Rautenberg breached certain license agreements
and violated certain federal and New York State antitrust laws. In February
1995, DMA was granted leave to file an Amended Complaint, which EKD subsequently
responded to by a Third Amended Answer and Counterclaims virtually identical to
EKD's Second Amended pleading. Symantec believes the charges made by EKD and Mr.
Green have no merit.

Subsequent to the acquisition of DMA by Symantec, Peter Byer, a former sales and
marketing employee of DMA, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York against DMA, Symantec and Lee Rautenberg (who was formerly President of
DMA). The lawsuit alleges that Peter Byer was orally promised an 8% equity
interest in DMA in connection with his performance of services, that he was
underpaid commissions under DMA's commission plan, and that DMA was unjustly
enriched because it paid Mr. Byer less than the fair value of his services. The
lawsuit seeks damages of at least $5.3 million. Symantec believes the charges
have no merit. Furthermore, Mr. Rautenberg and the other stockholders of DMA
have an obligation to indemnify Symantec for any liabilities resulting from this
action.

Symantec is involved in other judicial and administrative proceedings incidental
to its business. The Company intends to defend all of the aforementioned
pending lawsuits vigorously and although an adverse decisions (or settlements)
may occur in one or more of the cases, the final resolution of these lawsuits,
individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company. However, depending on the
amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of these lawsuits, it is possible
that the Company's future results of operations or cash flows could be
materially adversely affected in a particular period.

balance of the Lease, the latter shall control.

2. PREMISES. a. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases
from Lessor the Premises described in Article 1d., subject, nevertheless, to all
of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Calculation of the actual Rentable
Area of the Premises and Building shall be performed by Lessor's architect,
which calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Lessor and Lessee. As
used herein, the term "Building" shall mean the structure in which the Premises
are located and the term "Parcel" shall mean the parcel(s) of land as shown on
Exhibit "B" attached hereto. The Building, Parcel and all other improvements
now or hereafter located on the Parcel, are herein sometimes referred to
collectively as the "Project."

This Lease is subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease. Lessee covenants as a material part of the consideration
for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and
conditions to be kept by Lessee under the Lease.

b. Expansion Space/First Right of Offer. See Addendum 3 attached
hereto.

3. TERM. a. The term of this Lease shall be for the period
designated in Article 1e., commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on
the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1g., unless sooner terminated
pursuant to this Lease ("Term"). The expiration or sooner termination of the
Lease is hereinafter referred to as "Lease Termination."

b. Option to Extend. See Addendum 4 attached hereto.

4. POSSESSION.

a. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS/DELAY IN POSSESSION. Lessor and
Lessee agree to the provisions set forth in the work letter attached hereto as
Exhibit "C" ("Work Letter"). Lessor agrees to construct within the Premises the
improvements described in the Work Letter ("Tenant Improvements"), upon and
subject to the provisions thereof. If Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot
deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee at the Commencement Date, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for
any loss or damage resulting therefrom, nor shall the Expiration Date be
extended. Notwithstanding Article 42, if delivery of possession of the Premises
is delayed beyond the Anticipated Commencement Date, as defined in Addendum 1
hereto, all Rentals (defined in Article 40b.) shall be abated during the period
between the Anticipated Commencement Date and the time when Lessor delivers
possession, and the Rent Start Date shall be delayed by a period equal to time
elapsed between the Anticipated Commencement Date and the date that Lessor
delivers possession in accordance with the requirements of Addendum 1, except to
the extent delay in possession of the Premises was caused or contributed to by
Lessee or Lessee's agents, officers, employees, contractors, servants, invitees
or guests (collectively "Lessee's Agents"). Lessor shall be deemed to have
delivered possession to Lessee on the earlier of (i) the date that Lessor gives
notice to Lessee that the Tenant Improvements are substantially completed as
evidenced by a Certificate of Occupancy (temporary or permanent) or other
governmental authorization to occupy the Premises, and that the Premises are
available for occupancy by Lessee subject only to punch list items which do not
prevent Lessee from using the Premises for its intended use, (ii) the date on
which the Tenant Improvements would have been substantially completed but for
delays caused by Lessee or Lessee's Agents, including without limitation, change
orders requested by Lessee or required because of any errors or omissions in
plans submitted by Lessee, or (iii) the date upon which Lessee actually occupies
or commences operation from the Premises.

b. EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessor permits Lessee to occupy the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all
the provisions of this Lease. Said early possession shall not advance the
Expiration Date, nor shall it trigger any obligation for payment of rent or
payment of operating expenses.

c. CERTIFICATES AND LICENSES. Prior to occupancy, Lessee shall
provide to Lessor the certificate(s) of insurance required by in Article 16 and
a copy of all licenses and before commencing to do business in the Premises,
authorizations that may be required for the lawful operation of Lessee's
business upon the Premises, including any City business licenses as may be
required.

5. RENT. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor as rental for the Premises,
without offset, deduction, prior notice or demand, the monthly Base Rent
designated in Article 1h., as the same may be adjusted from time to time
pursuant to this Lease.

Base Rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of
the first full calendar month of the term hereof and a like sum, adjusted as
aforesaid, on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar
month thereafter during the Term, except that a full month's Base Rent shall be
paid upon the execution hereof and the prorated Base Rent payable for the
period, if any, prior to the first full calendar month of the Term shall be
paid on the first day of said first full calendar month. Base Rent for any
period during the Term which is for less than one (1) month shall be prorated
based upon a thirty (30) day month.

b. RENT DURING EXTENDED TERM. SEE ADDENDUM 5 ATTACHED HERETO.

7. OPERATING EXPENSES AND PROJECT TAXES.

a. OPERATING EXPENSES AND PROJECT TAXES. Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, as additional rent and without deduction or offset, Lessee's percentage
share set forth in Article 1.k. ("Lessee's Percentage Share") of the amount by
which annual Operating Expenses and Project Taxes (defined below) allocable to
the Building exceeds the Base Expenses set forth in Article 1.j.. The amount by
which such annual Operating Expenses and Project Taxes exceeds Base Expenses
shall hereinafter be referred to as "Excess Expenses." There shall be no
reimbursement or allowance to Lessee if annual Project Taxes and Operating
Expenses allocable to the Building are less than the amount designed as Base
Expenses. Lessee's Percentage Share shall be determined by dividing the
Rentable Area of the Premises by the total Rentable Area in the Building.
Lessee's Percentage Share shall be subject to an equitable adjustment upon a
condemnation, sale by Lessor of part of the Project, reconstruction after damage
or destruction or expansion or reduction of the areas within the Project.
Lessee's Percentage Share of Excess Expenses shall be payable during the Term in
equal monthly installments on the first day of each month in advance, without
deduction, offset or prior demand.

At any time during the Term, beginning in calendar year 1996, Lessor may
give Lessee written notice of Lessor's estimate of the Excess Expenses for the
current calendar year. An amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Lessee's
Percentage Share of the Excess Expenses shall be payable monthly by Lessee as
aforesaid, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following thirty
(30) days written notice and continuing until receipt of

-3-

<PAGE>

any notice of adjustment from Lessor given pursuant to this paragraph. Until
notice of the estimated Operating Expenses and Project Taxes for a subsequent
calendar year is delivered to Lessee, Lessee shall continue to pay its
Percentage Share of Excess Expenses on the basis of the prior year's estimate.
Lessor may at any time during the Term adjust estimates of the Operating
Expenses and Project Taxes to reflect current expenditures and following
Lessor's written notice to Lessee of such revised estimate which must be
reasonable, subsequent payments by Lessee shall be based upon such revised
estimate.

If the Commencement Date is on a date other than the first day of a
calendar year, the amount of the Excess Expenses payable by Lessee in such
calendar year shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the
Commencement Date to the end of the calendar year in which the Commencement Date
falls bears to three hundred sixty (360).

Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year during the
Term and within ninety (90) days after the Expiration Date, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, Lessor will furnish to Lessee a statement
("Lessor's Statement") of the actual Project Taxes and Operating Expenses
paid or incurred by Lessor during the preceding year, together with
documentation as is reasonably necessary to substantiate the information
provided in Lessor's Statement, and thereupon within thirty-five (35) days an
adjustment will be made by Lessee's payment to Lessor or credit to Lessee by
Lessor against the Excess Expenses next becoming due from Lessee, as the case
may require, to the end that Lessor shall receive the entire amount of Lessee's
Percentage Share of Excess Expenses for such calendar year and no more. If the
Expiration Date is on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the
amount of Excess Expenses payable by Lessee for the calendar year in which
the Expiration Date falls shall be prorated on the basis which the number of
days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including such
Expiration Date bears to three hundred sixty (360). The early termination of
this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Lessor and Lessee pursuant to
this Article 7.

Within sixty (60) days after Lessee receives a statement of actual
Project Taxes and Operating Expenses paid or incurred for a calendar year,
Lessee shall have the right, upon written demand and reasonable notice, to
inspect Lessor's books and records relating to such Project Taxes and
Operating Expenses for the calendar year covered by Lessor's Statement for
the purpose of verifying the amount set forth in such statement. Such
inspection shall be made during Lessor's normal business hours, at the place
where such books and records are customarily maintained by Lessor. Unless
Lessee asserts in writing a specific error within one hundred twenty (120)
days following Lessee's receipt of Lessor's Statement, the amounts set forth in
Lessor's Statement shall be conclusively deemed correct and binding on Lessee.
See Addendum 6 attached hereto.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 7 to the contrary,
express or implied, Rentals payable by Lessee shall in no event be less than the
Base Rent specified in Article 5a., as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
this Lease.

(1) OPERATING EXPENSES. As used in this Lease, "Operating
Expenses" shall mean all costs of operation, maintenance, repair and management
of every portion of the Project as determined by standard accounting practices.
Operating Expenses shall include, without limitation, all sums expended in
connection with all maintenance and repairs, resurfacing, painting, restriping,
cleaning, sweeping and janitorial services; maintenance and repair of sidewalks,
curbs, signs and other Common Areas (defined in Article 55); maintenance and
repair of sprinkler systems, planting and landscaping; trash removal; sewage;
electricity, gas, water and any other utilities (including any temporary or
permanent utility surcharge or other exaction whether now or hereafter imposed);
maintenance and repair of directional signs and other markers and bumpers;
maintenance and repair of any fire protection systems, elevator systems,
lighting systems, storm drainage systems, HVAC, and other utility systems; any
governmental imposition or surcharge imposed upon Lessor or assessed against the
Project; all costs and expenses pertaining to a security alarm system and
security guard for the Project if Lessor deems necessary in Lessor's reasonable
discretion; materials; supplies; tools; depreciation on maintenance and
operating machinery and equipment (if owned) (and if depreciated, the actual
cost of acquiring any such equipment shall not also be included as an
Operating Expense) and rental paid for such machinery and equipment (if rented);
service agreements on equipment; maintenance and repair of parking areas and
parking structures, if any; repair and routine and preventative maintenance of
the roof (including repair of leaks and resurfacing); repair and maintenance of
the exterior surfaces of all improvements (including painting); maintenance and
repair of structural parts (including foundation, floor slabs and load bearing
walls); replacement of Common Area carpets and window coverings, the cost of
which shall be amortized over the useful life of such items as determined by
standard accounting practices; window cleaning; elevator or escalator services;
material handling; fees for licenses and permits relating to the Project;
the cost of complying with rules, regulations and orders of governmental
authorities; accounting and legal fees; Project office rent or rental value; the
cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any governmental enactments
which may affect Operating Expenses or Project Taxes; personnel to implement
such services; public liability, property damage and fire and extended coverage
insurance, on the Project (in such amounts and providing such coverage as
determined in Lessor's reasonable discretion and which may include without
limitation liability, all risk property, Lessor's risk

-4-

<PAGE>

liability, war risk, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, boiler
and machinery, rental income, flood and worker's compensation insurance, and,
if available at commercially reasonable rates and required by the lender of any
loan affecting all or any portion of the Project, earthquake); compensation and
fringe benefits payable to all persons employed by Lessor in connection with the
operation, maintenance, repair, and management of the Project; all annual
assessments and special assessments levied against the Project and/or Lessor
pertaining to the Project pursuant to any declaration of covenants, conditions
and restrictions affecting the Project; and a management fee not to exceed
current fair market management fees for comparable projects, and in any case,
during the first two (2) years and six (6) months after the Rent Start Date, not
more than four percent (4%) of gross receipts from the Project including all
Rentals. Lessor may cause any or all of said services to be provided by an
independent contractor or contractors, or they may be rendered by Lessor. If
such services are provided by Lessor, the cost of such services which are
included in Operating Expenses shall be reasonable, based upon the prevailing
market prices for such services. If Lessor makes capital improvements which
have the effect of reducing Operating Expenses, Lessor shall amortize its
investment in said improvements as an Operating Expense in accordance with
standard accounting practices provided that such amortization is not at a rate
greater than the anticipated savings in Operating Expenses. It is the intent of
the parties hereto that Operating Expenses shall include every cost paid or
incurred by Lessor in connection with the operation, maintenance, repair and
management of the Project and the specific examples of Operating Expenses stated
in this Section 7a.(1) are in no way intended to, and shall not limit the costs
comprising Operating Expenses, nor shall such examples be deemed to obligate
Lessor to incur such costs or to provide such services or to take such actions
except as Lessor may be expressly required in other portions of this Lease, or
except as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, may elect. Provided that Lessor
maintains the Project in a manner similar to comparable Class A buildings in the
City of Cupertino, the maintenance of the Project shall be at the reasonable
discretion of Lessor and all costs incurred by Lessor reasonably and in good
faith shall be deemed conclusively binding on Lessee. If less than one hundred
(100%) percent of the Project is occupied during any calendar year, all
Operating Expenses on the statements provided by Lessor shall be adjusted for
each calendar year to equal Lessor's reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses
had one hundred percent (100%) of the Project been occupied, provided that
Lessor shall not receive any amount in excess of the Lessee's Percentage Share
of Excess Expenses incurred by Lessor. See Addendum 7.

(2) PROJECT TAXES. The term "Project Taxes" as used in
this Lease shall collectively mean (to the extent any of the following are
not paid by Lessee pursuant to Article 7b. below) all: real estate taxes and
general or special assessments (including, without limitation, assessments
for public improvements or benefits); personal property taxes; taxes based on
vehicles utilizing parking areas within the Project; taxes computed or based
on rental income (including without limitation any municipal business tax but
excluding federal, state and municipal net income taxes); Environmental
Surcharges (defined below); excise taxes; gross receipts taxes; sales and/or
use taxes; employee taxes; water and sewer taxes, levies, assessments and
other charges in the nature of taxes or assessments (including, but not
limited to, assessments for public improvements or benefit); and all other
governmental, quasi-governmental or special district impositions of any kind
and nature whatsoever; regardless of whether now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from
increased rate and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary,
general or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any
of the foregoing which during the Term are laid, levied, assessed or imposed
upon Lessor and/or become a lien upon or chargeable against any portions of
the Project under or by virtue of any present or future laws, statutes,
ordinances, regulations, or other requirements of any governmental authority
or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or
indirect power to tax or levy assessments whatsoever. "Environmental
Surcharges" shall include any and all expenses, taxes, charges or penalties
imposed by any local, state or federal governmental agency or entity now or
hereafter vested with the power to impose taxes, assessments or other types
of surcharges as a means of controlling or abating or the use of energy in
regard to the use, operation or occupancy of the Project. "Taxes" shall include
(to the extent the same are not paid by Lessee pursuant to Article 7b. below),
without limitation: the cost to Lessor of contesting the amount or validity or
applicability of any Project Taxes; and all taxes, assessments, levies, fees,
impositions or charges relating to the use, possession, occupancy, leasing,
operation or management of the Project or in lieu of or equivalent to any
Project Taxes described in this Article 7a.(2). See Addendum 8 attached hereto.

b. OTHER TAXES. Lessee shall pay the following:

(i) Lessee shall pay (or reimburse Lessor as additional
rent if Lessor is assessed), before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or
assessed, and which become payable for or in connection with any period
during the Term, upon all of the following (collectively, "Leasehold
Improvements and Personal Property"): Lessee's leasehold improvements, the
Tenant Improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
merchandise, inventory, machinery, appliances and other personal property
located in the Premises; except only that which has been paid for by Lessor
and is the standard of the Building. Lessee hereby acknowledges receipt of a
copy of a schedule setting forth the improvements comprising the standard of
the Building. If any or all of the Leasehold Improvements and Personal
Property are assessed and taxed with the Project, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
such amounts following receipt of a statement therefor, and at least ten (10)
days before delinquency. If the Leasehold Improvements and Personal Property
are not separately assessed on the tax statement or bill, Lessor's good faith
determination of the amount of such taxes applicable to the Leasehold
Improvements and Personal Property shall be a conclusive determination of
Lessee's obligation to pay such amount as so determined by Lessor.

(ii) Lessee shall pay (or reimburse Lessor if Lessor is
assessed, as additional rent), prior to delinquency or within ten (10) days
after receipt of a statement thereof, any and all other taxes, levies,
assessments, or surcharges payable by Lessor or Lessee and relating to this
Lease, the Premises or Lessee's activities in the Premises (other than
Lessor's net income, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, estate, or
inheritance taxes), whether or not now customary or within the contemplation
of the parties hereto, now in force or which may hereafter become effective,
including but not limited to taxes: (i) upon, allocable to, or measured by
the area of the Premises or on the Rentals payable hereunder, including
without limitation any gross income, gross receipts, excise, or other tax
levied by the state, any political subdivision thereof, city or federal
government with respect to the receipt of such Rentals; (ii) upon or with
respect to the use, possession, occupancy, leasing, operation and management
of the Premises or any portion thereof; (iii) upon this transaction or any
document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises; or (iv) imposed as a means of controlling or
abating the use of energy, including, without limitation, any parking taxes,
levies or charges or vehicular regulations imposed by any governmental agency.
Lessee shall also pay, prior to delinquency, all privilege, sales, excise, use,
business, occupation, or other taxes, assessments, license fees, or charges
levied, assessed, or imposed upon Lessee's business operations conducted at the
Premises. If any such taxes are payable by Lessor and it shall not be lawful
for Lessee to reimburse Lessor for such taxes, then the Rentals payable
hereunder shall be increased to net Lessor the net Rental after imposition of
any such tax upon Lessor as would have been payable to Lessor prior to the
imposition of any such tax.

8. USE.

a. In no event shall Lessee use or permit the use of the Premises
for any purpose other than general office use, and any related lawful purpose
to include sales, service, engineering, and storage. Lessor and Lessee
hereby acknowledge and agree that the foregoing use restriction is an
absolute prohibition against a change in use of the Premises as contemplated
under California Civil Code section 1997.230. Lessee shall not do or permit
to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which
will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the Building or the Project or any of its contents, or cause
cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or the Project or
any part thereof or any of its contents. Lessee shall not, without prior
consent of Lessor, bring into the Building or Premises or use or incorporate
in the Premises any apparatus, equipment, or supplies that may cause
substantial noise, odor, or vibration or overload the Premises or the
Building or any of its utility or elevator systems or jeopardize the
structural integrity of the Building or any part thereof. Lessee and Lessee's
Agents shall not use, store, or dispose of any Hazardous Materials (defined
below) on any portion of the Project. Lessee shall be entitled to use
customary office and janitorial supplies despite the fact that such materials
may be considered to be Hazardous Materials under this Lease. Lessee shall
indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Lessor, and hold Lessor and
Lessor's employees, agents, partners, officers, directors and shareholders
harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings,
orders, judgement, losses, costs, damages, liabilities, penalties, or
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising in
connection with the breach of the obligations described in the previous
sentence. As used in this paragraph, Hazardous Materials means any chemical,
substance or material which has been determined or is hereafter determined by
any federal, state or local governmental authority to be capable of posing
risk of injury to health or safety, including, without limitation, petroleum,
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive materials and radon gas.
Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises
which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants
or occupants of the Building or the Project or injure or annoy them or use or
allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to
be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

<PAGE>

b. EFFECT OF USE RESTRICTION. Lessor and Lessee hereby
acknowledge and agree that the use restriction set forth in Paragraph 8.a.
above shall be deemed reasonable in all respects and under all circumstances.
Lessor and Lessee further acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary, (i) in the event Lessee requests
Lessor's consent to a proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the
Premises, Lessor shall be deemed reasonable in withholding its consent to
such assignment or subletting if the proposed assignee or subtenant desires
to use the Premises for any purpose other than as expressly provided in
Paragraph 8.a. above, and (ii) in the event of a default by Lessee under the
Lease, the enforcement of the use restriction set forth in Paragraph 8.a.
above shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of computing the rental loss
that could be or could have been reasonably avoided by Lessor pursuant to
California Civil Code section 1951.2 and in connection with the exercise of
Lessor's remedies under California Civil Code section 1951.4.

Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, if Lessor withholds its
consent to an assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises based upon
the desire of the proposed assignee or subtenant to use the Premises for any
purpose other than as expressly provided in Paragraph 8.a. above, or if Lessee
is in default under this Lease, then, prior to commencing or pursuing any claim
or defense against Lessor based upon the unreasonableness of the use restriction
set forth in Paragraph 8.a. above, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written
notice (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested) setting
forth Lessee's objections to the enforcement of the use restriction in such
instance, the basis upon which Lessee intends to demonstrate that the
enforcement of such use restriction would be unreasonable in such instance, and
the use(s) which Lessee believes Lessor should allow Lessee or its proposed
assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, to make of the Premises. Within
thirty (30) days of Lessor's receipt of Lessee's written notice of objection,
Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of Lessor's election to either
(A) enforce the use restriction set forth in Paragraph 8.a. above, or (B) permit
a change in the use of the Premises, provided that such proposed use shall in no
event (1) require the use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or
about the Premises or the Project, (2) increase or affect any fire or other
insurance covering the Building or the Project, (3) interfere with the rights of
other tenants of the Building or Project, including, without limitation, any
exclusive use rights of such tenants, (4) be in violation of applicable federal,
state or local laws, rules, regulations, codes or ordinances, or (5) require
Lessor to construct or install, or to provide any allowance for the construction
or installation of, any tenant improvements in the Premises. Notwithstanding
the preceding to the contrary, in no event shall Lessor have any obligation to
allow a change in the use of the Premises, it being expressly understood by the
parties that the use restriction set forth in Paragraph 8.a. above is an
absolute prohibition against a change in use of the Premises. In the event
Lessor fails to provide Lessee with written notice of its election to either
enforce the use restriction or allow a change in use of the Premises within
said thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall be deemed to have elected to enforce
the use restriction. In the event Lessor elects or is deemed to have elected to
enforce the use restriction as provided hereinabove, Lessee shall have the right
to pursue such valid claims or defenses against Lessor as may be permitted under
California Civil Code section 1997.040 and which Lessee is able to prove.

9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

Lessee shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises which will in any way conflict with or violate any law,
statute, ordinance, order or governmental rule or regulation or requirement of
duly constituted public authorities or quasi-public authorities now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, orders and
governmental or quasi-governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in
force or which may hereafter be in force and with all recorded documents which
relate to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, and with
the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar
bodies now or hereafter constituted, relating to, or affecting the condition,
use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or
affected by Lessee's improvements, acts or use or occupancy of the Premises.
The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee
in any action against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that
Lessee has violated any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental or quasi-
governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that
fact as between the Lessor and Lessee. Lessee shall obtain, prior to taking
possession of the Premises, all permits, licenses, or other authorizations for
the lawful operation of its business at the Premises. Lessee shall indemnify,
defend with counsel acceptable to Lessor and hold Lessor and Lessor's employees,
agents, partners, officers, directors and shareholders harmless from and against
any claim, action, suit, proceeding, or other liability resulting from a failure
by Lessee to perform its obligations under this article 9. Lessee acknowledges
that Lessee will have the opportunity prior to the Commencement Date to satisfy
itself that the Premises are suitable for Lessee's intended use and that the
Building and Premises meet all governmental and quasi-governmental requirements
for such intended use. See Addendum 9 attached hereto.

Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, in accordance with the provisions
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), responsibility for
compliance with the terms and conditions of Title III of the ADA may be
allocated as between Lessor and Lessee. In this regard and notwithstanding
anything to the

-7-

<PAGE>

contrary contained in the Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree that the
responsibility for compliance with the ADA (including, without limitation,
the removal of architectural and communications barriers and the provision of
auxiliary aids and services to the extent required) shall be allocated as
follows: (i) Lessee shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions
of Title III of the ADA as Title III relates to any construction, renovations,
alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction,
renovations, alterations and repairs are made by Lessee, at its expense without
the assistance of Lessor; (ii) Lessor shall be responsible for compliance with
the provisions of Title II and III of the ADA for all construction, renovations,
alterations and repairs which Lessor is required, under this Lease, to make
within the Premises, whether (pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Lease)
at Lessor's or Lessee's expense; and (iii) Lessor shall be responsible for
compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for all exterior and
interior areas of the building not included within the Premises. Lessor agrees
to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against any claims, damages,
costs and liabilities arising out of Lessor's failure, or alleged failure, as
the case may be, to comply with the ADA, to the extent such compliance has been
allocated to Lessor herein, which indemnification obligation shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease if the Lease has not been terminated by
reason of a default by Lessee. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs and liabilities arising out
of Lessee's failure, or alleged failure, as the case may be, to comply with the
ADA, to the extent such compliance has been allocated to Lessee herein, which
indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration of termination of this
Lease. Lessor and Lessee each agree that the allocation of responsibility for
ADA compliance shall not require Lessor or Lessee to supervise, monitor or
otherwise review the compliance activities of the other with respect to its
assumed responsibilities for ADA compliance as set forth in this paragraph.
Lessor shall, in complying with the ADA (to the extent such compliance has been
allocated to Lessor herein), be entitled to rely upon representations made
to, or information given to Lessor by Lessee in regard to Lessee's use of the
Premises, Lessee's employees, and other matters pertinent to compliance with
the ADA. The indemnity of Lessee set forth above shall apply as to any
liability arising against Lessor by reason of any misrepresentations or
misinformation given by Lessee to Lessor. The allocation of responsibility
for ADA compliance between Lessor and Lessee, and the obligations of Lessor
and Lessee established by such allocations, shall supersede any other
provisions of the Lease that may contradict or otherwise differ from the
requirements of this paragraph. See Addendum 10 attached hereto.

10. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

a. LESSEE'S ALTERATIONS. Except for nonstructural
Alterations of which the cost does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000)
per job, which Lessee will be entitled to perform without Lessor's prior
consent, Lessee shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions,
changes or improvements (collectively, "Alterations") to or of the Premises, or
any part thereof without Lessor's prior written consent, which consent shall
not, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, be unreasonably
withheld. Lessor may impose, as a condition to the aforesaid consent, such
requirements as Lessor may deem reasonably necessary, including without
limitation: the manner in which the work is done; a right of approval of the
contractor by whom the work is to be performed; the times during which such work
is to be accomplished; the requirement that Lessee post a completion bond in an
amount and form satisfactory to Lessor, for any Alteration the cost of which is
reasonably anticipated to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00), the
requirement that Lessee reimburse Lessor, as additional rent, for Lessor's
reasonable costs incurred in reviewing any proposed Alterations, whether or not
Lessor's consent is granted; and the requirement that at Lease Termination,
either (i) Lessee, at its expense, will remove any and all such Alterations
installed by Lessee and shall, at its cost, promptly repair all damages to the
Project caused by such removal, or (ii) the Alterations made by Lessee shall
remain with the Premises, be a part of the realty, and belong to Lessor. If
Lessor consents to any Alterations to the Premises by Lessee, the same shall be
made by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense in accordance with plans and
specifications approved by Lessor. Any such Alterations made by Lessee shall be
performed in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and codes and in a
first class workmanlike manner, and shall not weaken or impair the structural
strength or lessen the value of the Building, shall not invalidate, diminish, or
adversely affect any warranty applicable to the Building or any other
improvements located within the Project, including any equipment therein, and
shall be performed in a manner causing Lessor and Lessor's agents and other
tenants of the Building the least interference and inconvenience practicable
under the circumstances. In making any such Alterations, Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense:

(i) File for and secure any necessary permits or approvals
from all governmental departments or authorities having jurisdiction, and any
utility company having an interest therein, and

(ii) Notify Lessor in writing at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the commencement of work on any Alteration, so that Lessor can post and
record appropriate notices of non-responsibility.

(iii) Provide copies of all drawings and specifications
prior to commencement of construction of any Alterations.

b. REMOVAL. Except as set forth below, upon Lease Termination,
Lessee shall, upon written demand by Lessor at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
forthwith and with all due diligence remove any Alterations made by Lessee,
which is then designated by Lessor to be removed and Lessee shall, forthwith and
with all due diligence at its sole cost and expense, repair any damage to the
Project caused by such removal. Lessee may also, upon Lease Termination and
provided that Lessee is not then in default hereunder, remove Lessee's movable
equipment, furnishings, trade fixtures and other personal property (excluding
any Alterations made by Lessee not specifically designated by Lessor to be
removed), provided that Lessee shall, forthwith and with all due diligence at
its sole cost and expense, repair any damages to the Project caused by such
removal. Unless Lessor elects to have Lessee remove any such Alterations, all
such Alterations except for movable furniture and trade fixtures of Lessee not
affixed to the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor upon Lease
Termination (without any payment therefor) and remain upon and be surrendered
with the Premises.

c. ALTERATIONS REQUIRED BY LAW. Subject to the provisions of
Article 9 above, or as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor as additional rent, the cost of any structural or nonstructural
alteration, addition or change to the Building and/or at Lessor's election,
shall promptly make, at Lessee's sole expense and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10a. above, any structural or nonstructural alteration,
addition or change to the Premises required to comply with laws, regulations,
ordinances or orders of any public agencies, whether now existing or
hereinafter promulgated, where such alterations, additions or changes are
required by reason of: Lessee's or Lessee's Agents' acts; Lessee's particular
use of the Premises; alterations or improvements to the Premises made by or for
Lessee.

d. LESSOR'S IMPROVEMENTS. All fixtures, improvements or equipment
which are installed, constructed on or attached to the Premises, or any part of
the Project by Lessor at its expense shall be a part of the realty and belong to
Lessor. See Addendum 11 attached hereto.

11. REPAIRS.

a. BY LESSEE. By taking possession of the Premises, Lessee
shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good and sanitary
order, condition and repair and to have accepted the Premises in their
condition existing as of the date of such possession, subject to all
applicable laws, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, and other
matters of public record and the Rules and Regulations from time to time
promulgated by Lessor governing the use of any portion of the Project, but
excluding therefrom latent defects in the Building for which Lessor is
responsible for repair. Lessee shall further be deemed to have accepted the
Tenant Improvements constructed by Lessor, if any, as being completed in
accordance with the plans and specifications for such improvements, excluding
only the punch list items referred to in Article 4a. above. Lessee shall at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, keep every part of the Premises in good
condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Lessee fails to
maintain the Premises as required by this Lease, Lessor may give Lessee
notice to do such acts as are reasonably required to so maintain the Premises
and if Lessee fails to commence such work immediately in an emergency or
where immediate action is required to protect the Premises or any portion of
the Project, or within ten (10) days after such notice is given under other
circumstances, and diligently prosecute it to completion, then Lessor or
Lessor's agents, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available
hereunder or by law and without waiving any alternative remedies, shall have
the right to enter the Premises and to do such acts and expend such funds at
the expense of Lessee as are reasonably required to perform such work. Any
amount so expended by Lessor shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor as additional
rent, upon demand. In no event shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for
any consequential damages, including lost profits, as a result of performing any
such work. Except as specifically provided in an addendum, if any, to this
Lease, Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and the parties
hereto affirm that Lessor has made no representations or warranty to Lessee
respecting the condition of the Premises or any part of the Project except as
specifically set forth in this Lease. See Addendum 12 attached hereto.

b. BY LESSOR. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the costs of
repairs and maintenance which are the obligation of Lessor hereunder or which
Lessor elects to perform hereunder shall be an Operating Expense and Lessee
shall pay, as additional rent, Lessee's Percentage Share of such costs to Lessor
as provided in Article 7. Lessor shall repair and maintain the structural
portions of the Building, including the basic plumbing, air conditioning,
heating and electrical systems installed or furnished by Lessor, unless such
maintenance or repairs are caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault
or omission of any duty by the Lessee or Lessee's Agents, in which case Lessee
shall pay to Lessor the reasonable cost of such maintenance or repairs as
additional rent. Lessor shall not be liable for any failure to make any such
repairs or to perform any maintenance for which Lessor is responsible as
provided above unless Lessor is otherwise unaware of the need to perform such
repairs or maintenance and Lessor fails to commence such work for a period of
more than thirty (30) days after written notice of the need of such repairs or

-9-
<PAGE>

maintenance is given to Lessor by Lessee and the failure is due solely to causes
within Lessor's reasonable control. Except as provided in Article 21 of this
Lease, there shall be no abatement of Rentals, and in any event there shall be
no liability of Lessor by reason of any injury to or interference with
Lessee's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or
improvements in or to any portion of the Project or in or to fixtures,
appurtenances and equipment therein. See Addendum 13 attached hereto. Lessee
waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect (including,
without limitation, the provisions of subsection 1 of Section 1932, Section 1941
and Section 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or dissimilar law,
statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect) which would otherwise afford
Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense (or to deduct the cost of
such repairs from Rentals due hereunder) or to terminate this Lease because of
Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good and sanitary order.

12. LIENS. Lessee shall keep the Premises and every portion of the
Project free from any and all mechanics', materialmen's and other liens, and
claims thereof, arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by or for Lessee. Lessee shall indemnify, defend with
counsel acceptable to Lessor and hold Lessor harmless from and against any
liens, demands, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, orders, losses, costs,
damages, liabilities, penalties, expenses, judgments or encumbrances (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees) arising out of any work or services
performed or materials furnished by or at the direction of Lessee or Lessee's
Agents or any contractor employed by Lessee with respect to the Premises.
Lessor shall have the right, at all times, to post and keep posted on the
Premises, any notices permitted or required by law, or which Lessor shall deem
proper, for the protection of Lessor, the Project, and any other party having an
interest therein, from mechanics' and materialmen's liens, including without
limitation a notice of non-responsibility. Lessee shall give written notice to
Lessor fifteen (15) days prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform
services related to, or receiving materials for use upon the Premises, and prior
to the commencement of any work of improvement on the Premises. Should any
claims of lien relating to work performed, materials furnished or obligations
incurred by Lessee be filed against, or any action be commenced affecting the
Premises, any part of the Project, and/or Lessee's interest therein, Lessee
shall give Lessor notice of such lien or action within three (3) days after
Lessee receives notice of the filing of the lien or the commencement of the
action. If Lessee does not, within twenty (20) days following the imposition of
any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment or posting of
a proper bond, Lessor shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided
herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be
released by such means as it shall deem proper, including by payment of the
claim giving rise to such lien or by posting a proper bond, or by requiring
Lessee to post for Lessor's benefit a bond, surety, or cash amount equal to one
and one-half (1-1/2) times the amount of lien and sufficient to release the
Premises and Project from the lien. All sums paid by Lessor pursuant to this
Article 12 and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith including
attorneys' fees and costs shall by payable to Lessor by Lessee as additional
rent on demand.

13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
a. PROHIBITIONS IN GENERAL. Lessee shall not (whether
voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law) assign this Lease or allow
all or any part of the Premises to be sublet without Lessor's prior written
consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of this Article 13, and Addendum 14
attached hereto. Except for an allowed assignment or subletting pursuant to the
previous sentence, Lessee shall not (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
operation of law) (i) allow all or any part of the Premises to be occupied or
used by any person or entity other than Lessee, (ii) transfer any right
appurtenant to this Lease or the Premises, (iii) mortgage, hypothecate or
encumber the Lease or Lessee's interest in the Lease or Premises (or otherwise
use the Lease as a security device) in any manner, or (iv) permit any person to
assume or succeed to any interest whatsoever in this Lease, without Lessor's
prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld in
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.

Any assignment, sublease, hypothecation, encumbrance, or transfer
(collectively, "Transfer") without Lessor's consent shall constitute a default
by Lessee and shall be voidable. Lessor's consent to any one Transfer shall not
constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13 as to any subsequent
Transfer nor a consent to any subsequent Transfer. The provisions of this
Article 13a. expressly apply to all heirs, successors, sublessees, assigns and
transferees of Lessee. If Lessor consents to a proposed Transfer, such Transfer
shall be valid and the transferee shall have the right to take possession of the
Premises only if the Assumption Agreement described in Article 13c. below is
executed and delivered to Lessor, Lessee has paid the costs and fees described
in Article 13h. below, and an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease
or other document evidencing the Transfer is delivered to Lessor and such
transfer document contains the same terms and conditions as stated in Lessee's
notice given to Lessor pursuant to Article 13d. below, except for any such
modifications Lessor has consented to in writing. The acceptance of Rentals by
Lessor

] -10-
<PAGE>

from any person or entity other than Lessee shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
Transfer.

b. COLLECTION OF RENT. Lessee irrevocably assigns to Lessor, as
security for Lessee's obligations under this Lease, all rent not otherwise
payable to Lessor by reason of any Transfer of all or any part of the
Premises or this Lease. Lessor, as assignee of Lessee, or a receiver for
Lessee appointed on Lessor's application, may collect such rent and apply it
toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
the occurrence of any default by Lessee or except as provided by the
provisions of Article 13f. below, Lessee shall have the right to collect such
rent.

c. ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT. As a condition to Lessor's consent to
any Transfer of Lessee's interest in this Lease or the Premises, Lessee and
Lessee's assignee, sublessee, encumbrancer, hypothecatee, or transferee
(collectively "Transferee"), shall execute a written Assumption Agreement, in
a form reasonably approved by Lessor, which Agreement shall include a
provision that, in the case of an assignment Lessee's Transferee shall
expressly assume all obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and shall be and
remain jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance of all
conditions, covenants, and obligations under this Lease from the effective
date of the Transfer of Lessee's interest in this Lease. In no event shall
Lessor have any obligation to materially amend or modify this Lease in
connection with any proposed Transfer, including, without limitation,
amending or modifying the use restriction set forth in Paragraph 8.a. above.

d. REQUEST FOR TRANSFER. Lessee shall give Lessor at least twenty
(20) days prior written notice of any desired Transfer and of the proposed terms
of such Transfer, including but not limited to: the name and legal composition
of the proposed Transferee; an audited financial statement of the proposed
Transferee prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
within one year prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer; the nature
of the proposed Transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises; the
payment to be made or other consideration to be given on account of the
Transfer; and other such pertinent information as may be requested by Lessor,
all in sufficient detail to enable Lessor to evaluate the proposed Transfer and
the prospective Transferee. Lessee's notice shall not be deemed to have been
served or given until such time as Lessee has provided Lessor with all
information specified above and all additional information requested by Lessor
pursuant to this Article 13d. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of any
modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer.

(i) Lessee shall pay to Lessor any and all rent to be paid by a
Transferee, including, but not limited to, fifty percent (50%) of any rent
in excess of the Rentals to be paid under this Lease (prorated in the event that
a sublease is of less than the entire Premises) after deducting therefrom the
reasonable costs incurred by Lessee in effecting the Transfer, including
brokerage commissions, costs of alterations, and attorney's fees, shall be paid
by Lessee directly to Lessor at the time and place specified in this Lease. For
the purposes of this Article 13, the term "rent" shall include any consideration
of any kind received, or to be received, by Lessee from a Transferee, if such
sums are related to Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
including, but not limited to, key money, bonus money, and payments (in
excess of the fair market value thereof) for Lessee's assets, fixtures, trade
fixtures, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, general
intangibles, and any capital stock or other equity ownership interest of
Lessee; and/or

(ii) Either Lessee or the proposed Transferee cure, on or
before the proposed effective date of such Transfer, any and all uncured
defaults hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Lessor's failure to
condition its consent upon such cure be deemed to be a waiver of any such
default or Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, at law, or in
equity in regard thereto. If Lessor has elected to impose such cure as a
condition to its consent and such condition is not satisfied by the effective
date of the Transfer, the Transfer shall be voidable at Lessor's option.

- 11 -

<PAGE>

h. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS. Lessee shall pay, as additional
rent, Lessor's actual costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred for
reviewing, investigating, processing and/or documenting any requested
Transfer, whether or not Lessor's consent is granted.

i. MISCELLANEOUS. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no Transfer
shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations under the Lease or alter the
primary liability of Lessee to pay the Rentals and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of Rentals by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of
any provision hereof. Upon breach or default by any assignee of Lessee or any
successor of Lessee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies
against said assignee or successor.

j. REASONABLE PROVISIONS. Lessee acknowledges that, but for
Lessee's identity, financial condition and ability to perform the obligations
of Lessee under the Lease, Lessor would not have entered into this Lease nor
demised the Premises to Lessee and that, in entering into this Lease,
Lessor has relied specifically on Lessee's identity, financial condition,
responsibility and capability of performing the obligations of Lessee under
the Lease. Lessee expressly agrees that the provisions of this Article 13 are
not unreasonable standards or conditions for purposes of Section 1951.4(b)(2)
of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time or for any other
purpose.

14. HOLD HARMLESS. Lessee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Lessor, and hold Lessor and
Lessor's employees, agents, partners, officers, directors and shareholders
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
penalties, judgments, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) and any suit, action or proceeding brought pursuant thereto
(collectively, "Claims"), including Claims for property damage, or personal
injury including death, arising out of (i) Lessee's use of the Premises or
any part thereof, or any activity, work or other thing done in or about the
Premises by Lessee or by Lessee's agents, employees, or contractors, (ii)
any activity, work or other thing done, permitted in or about the Project, or
any part thereof by Lessee or by Lessee's agents, employees, or contractors,
(iii) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Lessee's
part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, (including, without
limitation, a failure to maintain insurance as provided in Section 16 below,
or (iv) any negligence of the Lessee, or Lessee's Agents.

See Addendum 15 attached hereto.

The indemnity herein shall extend to the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor for administrative expenses, consultant fees, expert
costs, investigation expenses and costs incurred in settling indemnified
claims, whether such costs occurred before or after any litigation is
commenced. The indemnity herein shall survive the termination of this Lease
and shall continue in effect until any and all claims, actions or causes of
action with respect to any of the matters indemnified against are fully and
finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations. In no event shall
any of insurance provisions set forth in Section 16 of this Lease be
construed as any limitation on the scope of indemnification set forth herein.

Lessee as a material part of the consideration to Lessor hereby assumes
all risk of damage or loss to property or injury or death to person in,
upon or about all portions of the Project from any cause, except to the extent
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's agents or
the breach of Lessor's obligations or representations under this Lease, and
Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor. Lessor or its
agents shall not be liable for any damage or loss to property entrusted to
employees of any part of the Project nor for loss or damage to any property by
theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or death of or damage or loss to persons
or property resulting from any accident, casualty or condition occurring in or
about any portion of the Project, or to any equipment, appliances or fixtures
therein, or from any other cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's agents or the breach of
Lessor's obligations or representations under this Lease, Lessor or its agents
shall not be liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal
hereditaments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, in no

- 12 -

<PAGE>

event shall Lessor have any liability for loss of business (including,
without limitation, lost profits) by Lessee. Lessee shall give prompt written
notice to Lessor in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the
Building or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.

If, by reason of any act or omission of Lessee or Lessee's Agents, Lessor
is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or any part
of the Project, Lessee shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to
Lessor and hold Lessor harmless from any liability and damages incurred by
(or threatened against) Lessor as a party defendant, including without
limitation all damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees.

15. SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,
Lessor releases Lessee and Lessee's officers, directors, agents, employees,
partners and shareholders from any and all claims or demands for damages,
loss, expense or injury arising out of any perils to the extent covered by
insurance carried by Lessor, or that would be insured against under an "all
risk" extended coverage insurance policy with respect to the Project for the
full replacement value thereof, with no more than a commercially reasonable
deductible amount, or that are due to the negligence of Lessee or Lessee's
officers, directors, agents, employees, partners and shareholders and
regardless of cost or origin, to the extent such waiver is permitted by
Lessor's insurers and does not prejudice the insurance required to be carried
by Lessor under this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, Lessee releases Lessor and Lessor's officers, directors, agents,
employees, partners and shareholders from any and all claims or demands for
damages, loss, expense or injury arising out of any perils which are insured
against under any insurance carried by Lessee, whether due to the negligence
of Lessor or its officers, directors, agents, employees, partners and
shareholders and regardless of cost or origin, to the extent such waiver is
permitted by Lessee's insurers and does not prejudice the insurance required
to be carried by Lessee under this Lease.

16. INSURANCE.

a. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain
and keep in force during the Term a policy of comprehensive general liability
insurance, including the broad form endorsement, insuring Lessor and Lessee
against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy,
maintenance, repair or improvement of the Premises and all areas appurtenant
thereto. Such insurance shall provide single limit liability coverage of not
less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury
or death and property damage. Such insurance shall include Lessor as an
additional insured, shall provide that Lessor, although an additional
insured, may recover for any loss suffered by Lessor or Lessor's agents by
reason of Lessee's or Lessee's Agent's negligence. All such insurance shall
specifically insure Lessee's performance of the indemnity and hold harmless
agreements contained in Article 14 above although Lessee's obligations
pursuant to Article 14 shall not be limited to the amount of any insurance
required of or carried by Lessee under this Article 16 and Lessee is
responsible for ensuring that the amount of liability insurance carried by
Lessee is sufficient for Lessee's purposes. Lessee may carry said insurance
under a blanket policy, provided that said insurance by Lessee shall name
Lessor as an additional insured.

b. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that insurance coverage carried
by Lessor will not cover Lessee's property within the Premises or within the
Building. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and keep in force during
the Term a policy of "All Risk" property insurance, including without
limitation, boiler and machinery (if applicable); sprinkler damage; vandalism;
malicious mischief; and demolition, increased cost of construction and
contingent liability from changes in building laws on all leasehold improvements
installed in the Premises at Lessee's expense (if any), and on all equipment,
trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and personal property located on or in the
Premises, including improvements or fixtures hereafter constructed or installed
on the Premises. Such insurance shall be in an amount equal to the full
replacement cost of the aggregate of the foregoing and shall provide coverage
comparable to the coverage in the Standard ISO All Risk form, when such form is
supplemented with the coverages required above.

c. If Lessee fails to procure and maintain any insurance required
to be procured and maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Lease, Lessor may,
but shall not be required to, procure and maintain all or any portion of the
same, at the expense of Lessee. Lessor's election pursuant to this Article
16c. to procure and maintain all or any portion of the insurance which Lessee
fails to procure and maintain is acknowledged by Lessee to be for Lessor's
sole benefit. Lessee acknowledges that any insurance procured and maintained
by Lessor pursuant to this Article 16c. may not be sufficient to adequately
protect Lessee. Any personal property insurance procured and maintained by
Lessor for Lessee's equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and
personal property located on or in the Premises, including improvements or
fixtures hereafter constructed or installed on the Premises, may not
sufficiently cover the replacement cost thereof. Any insurance procured and
maintained by Lessor pursuant to this Article 16c. may provide for less
coverage than is required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee is and shall remain solely
responsible for procuring insurance sufficient for Lessee's purposes,
notwithstanding the fact that Lessor has procured or maintained any insurance
pursuant to this Article 16c. Any insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee hereunder shall be in companies rated A X or better in "Best's
Insurance Guide." Prior to occupancy of the Premises, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor copies of the policies of insurance required to be kept by Lessee
hereunder, or certificates evidencing the

- 13 -

<PAGE>

existence and amount of such insurance, with evidence satisfactory to Lessor
of payment of premiums. No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction
of coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor.
Lessee shall obtain a waiver of subrogation rights from all insurers
providing insurance to Lessee whereby such insurers waive their right of
recovery against Lessor and Lessor's officers, directors, agents, employees,
partners and shareholders for loss or damage arising out of or incident to
any insured perils, whether due to the negligence of any indemnified party
and regardless of cause or origin.

17. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Lessor shall furnish to the Premises Building
Standard (defined in the Rules and Regulations from time to time) amounts of
electricity, water, heat, air-conditioning and elevator service which are
required in Lessor's good faith judgment for the comfortable use and occupation
of the Premises. During Business Hours (defined in the Rules and Regulations
from time to time), Lessor shall furnish to the Premises and the Common Areas,
Building Standard janitorial service, window washing, fluorescent tube
replacement and toilet supplies; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be
required to provide janitorial services in excess of janitorial services that
would be required if there were not any preparation or consumption of food or
beverages within the Premises (provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed as a consent by Lessor to the preparation or consumption of such food
or beverages unless otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease).
Lessor shall also maintain and keep lighted during Business Hours the common
stairs, common entries and toilet rooms in the Building. Lessor shall
not be liable under any circumstances for injury to or death of or loss or
damage to persons or property or damage to Lessee's business, however occurring,
through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any of the
foregoing. Wherever heat generating machines or equipment are used in the
Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the heating,
ventilating and air conditioning system servicing the Premises, upon sixty
(60) days prior written notice to Lessee, and provided that Lessee has not
discontinued the preceding use within such sixty (60) day period, Lessor
reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the
Premises and the costs thereof, including the cost of installation and the
cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor
upon demand by Lessor as additional rent, and not as an Operating Expense. The
entire cost of electricity, water, heat, air conditioning, elevator service,
janitorial service and other services and utilities provided to the Premises in
excess of Building Standard shall be paid for by Lessee upon demand by Lessor
as additional rent, and not as an Operating Expense. See Addendum 16 attached
hereto.

Lessee shall not connect or permit connection with electric current, gas
or water supply lines, except through existing electrical outlets, gas lines
or water lines, respectively, servicing the Premises, any apparatus or device
for the purpose of using gas, electric current or water. If Lessee requires
water, gas or electric current in excess of that usually furnished or
supplied for the use of the Premises as general office space, Lessee shall
first procure the written consent of Lessor, which Lessor may refuse for any
reason, to the use thereof and Lessor may cause a water, gas meter or
electric current meter to be installed in the Premises so as to measure the
amount of water, gas and electric current consumed for any such use. The cost
of any such meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall
be paid for by the Lessee and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, as additional
rent, promptly upon demand therefor by Lessor for all such water, gas and
electric current consumed as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for
such services by the local public utility furnishing the same, plus any
additional expense incurred in keeping account of the water, gas and electric
current so consumed. If a separate meter is not installed, such excess cost
for such water, gas and electric current will be conclusively established by
the reasonable estimate made by a utility company or electrical engineer
selected by Lessor.

18. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply
with the reasonable and non-discriminatory Rules and Regulations that Lessor
shall from time to time promulgate for the Building and the Project,
including without limitation rules and regulations relating to parking and
use of the Common Areas (the "Rules and Regulations"). Lessor reserves the
right from time to time to make all reasonable modifications to said Rules
and Regulations. The additions and modifications to these Rules and
Regulations shall be binding upon Lessee upon delivery of a copy of them to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be responsible to Lessee for the nonperformance of
any said Rules and Regulations by any other tenants or occupants. The current
Rules and Regulations are attached hereto as "Exhibit D."

- 14 -

<PAGE>

19. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any
part thereof after the expiration of the Term, with the express written consent
of Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a Base Rent
in the amount of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent in
effect immediately preceding such expiration, plus all Rentals and other charges
payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to a month to month
tenancy. In such case, either party may thereafter terminate this Lease at any
time upon giving not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the other
party. For any possession of the Premises after the Lease expiration without
Lessor's consent, Lessee shall be liable for all detriment proximately caused by
Lessee's possession, including without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses, claims of any succeeding tenant founded on Lessee's failure to vacate
and for payment to Lessor of the fair market rental value for the Base Rent for
the Premises, together with such other Rentals provided in this Lease to the
date Lessee actually vacates the Premises, and such other remedies as are
provided by law, in equity or under this Lease, including without limitation
punitive damages recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1174.

20. ENTRY BY LESSOR. Lessor reserves and shall at any and all reasonable
times have the right to enter the Premises, inspect the same, supply any service
to be provided by Lessor to Lessee hereunder, to submit said Premises to
prospective purchasers, mortgagees, lenders of (during the last nine (9) months
of the term only) tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, and to alter,
improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Building that Lessor may
deem necessary or desirable, without any abatement of Rentals, and may for such
purposes erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably
required by the character of the work to be performed, provided that in a non-
emergency situation the entrance to the Premises shall not be unreasonably
blocked thereby and the business of the Lessee shall not be interfered with
unreasonably. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Lessor shall at all times
have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about
the Premises, excluding Lessee's vaults, safes and files and other secure areas
identified by Lessee, and Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means
which Lessor may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to
obtain entry to the Premises, without liability to Lessee except as otherwise
expressly provided elsewhere in this Article. Any entry to the Premises
obtained by Lessor by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any
circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into,
or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Lessee from the Premises or
any portion thereof. In no event shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for
any other damages caused by Lessor's entry into the Premises. Lessee hereby
waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or
interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment
of the Premises, and any other damage or loss occasioned thereby. See Addendum
17 attached hereto.

21. RECONSTRUCTION. If the Premises are damaged and rendered
substantially untenantable, or if the Building is damaged (regardless of damage
to the Premises) or destroyed, Lessor may, within forty-five (45) days after the
casualty, notify Lessee of Lessor's election not to repair, in which event this
Lease shall terminate at the expiration of the forty-fifth (45th) day. If
Lessor elects to repair the damage or destruction, this Lease shall remain in
effect. Following an event of damage or destruction, Base Rent and Lessee's
Percentage Share of Excess Expenses shall be proportionately reduced based upon
the extent to which the damage or destruction interferes with Lessee's business
conducted in the Premises. All other Rentals due hereunder shall continue
unaffected, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for compensation
for inconvenience or loss of business during any period of repair or
reconstruction. Upon Lessor's election to repair, Lessor shall diligently
repair the damage to the extent of insurance proceeds available to Lessor.
Lessor shall not be required to repair or replace, whether injured or damaged
by fire or other cause, any items required to be insured by Lessee under this
Lease including Lessee's fixtures, equipment, merchandise, personal property,
inventory, panels, decoration, furniture, railings, floor covering, partitions
or any other improvements, alterations, additions, or property made or installed
by Lessee to the Premises. Lessee hereby waives all claims for loss or damage
to the foregoing. Lessee waives any rights to terminate this Lease if the
Premises are damaged or destroyed, including without limitation any rights
pursuant to the provisions of Subdivision 2 of Section 1932 and Subdivision 4 of
Section 1933 of the Civil Code of California, as amended from time to time, and
the provisions of any similar law hereafter enacted. If the Lease is terminated
by Lessor pursuant to this Article 21, the unused balance of the Security
Deposit and any Rentals unearned as of the effective date of termination shall
be refunded to Lessee. Lessee shall pay to Lessor any Rentals or other charges
due Lessor under the Lease, prorated as of the effective date of termination.

<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if less than thirty-three percent (33%) of
the Rentable Area of the Building is damaged from an insured casualty and the
insurance proceeds actually available to Lessor for reconstruction (net of costs
to recover such proceeds and after all claimants thereto including lienholders
have been satisfied or waive their respective claims) ("Net Insurance Proceeds")
are sufficient to completely restore the Building, Lessor agrees to make such
repairs and continue this Lease in effect. If, upon damage of less than thirty-
three percent (33%) of the Rentable Area of the Building there are not
sufficient insurance proceeds actually available to allow Lessor to completely
restore the Building, Lessor shall not be obligated to repair the Building and
the provisions of the first paragraph of this Article 21 shall control. See
Addendum 18 attached hereto.

22. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

a. Lessee's failure to pay when due Base Rent, or any other Rentals
or other sums payable hereunder; See Addendum 19 attached hereto;

b. Commencement, and continuation for at least thirty (30) days, of
any case, action, or proceeding by, against, or concerning Lessee, or any
guarantor of Lessee's obligations under this Lease ("Guarantor"), under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other debtor's relief law, including
without limitation, (i) a case under Title 11 of the United States Code
concerning Lessee or a Guarantor, whether under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of such
Title or under any other Chapter, or (ii) a case, action, or proceeding seeking
Lessee's or a Guarantor's financial reorganization or an arrangement with any of
Lessee's or a Guarantor's creditors;

d. Voluntary or involuntary appointment of a receiver, trustee,
keeper, or other person who takes possession for more than thirty (30) days of
substantially all of Lessee's or a Guarantor's assets, or of any asset used in
Lessee's business on the Premises, regardless of whether such appointment is as
a result of insolvency or any other cause;

e. Execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors of
substantially all assets of Lessee of a Guarantor available by law for the
satisfaction of judgment creditors;

f. Commencement of proceedings for winding up or dissolving (whether
voluntary or involuntary) the entity of Lessee or a Guarantor, if Lessee of such
Guarantor is a corporation or partnership;

g. Levy of a writ of attachment or execution on Lessee's interest
under this Lease, if such writ continues for a period of ten (10) days;

h. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of this Lease by Lessee
contrary to the provisions of Article 13 above;

i. With respect to any report that Lessee is required to submit
hereunder, the submission by Lessee of any false report;

j. The use or occupancy of the Premises for any use or purpose not
specifically allowed by the terms of this Lease; or

k. Breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, condition, warranty, or
provision contained in this Lease or of any other obligation owing or due to
Lessor other than as described in subsections 22a., b., c., d., e., f., g., h.,
or j. of this Article 22, where such failure shall continue for the period
specified in this Lease or if no such period is specified, for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, Lessee shall not be deemed to be
in default if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, and if Lessee
provides Lessor with such security as Lessor may require to fully compensate
Lessor for any loss or liability to which Lessor might be exposed.

-16-
<PAGE>

23. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon any default or breach by Lessee, or at
any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand, and without limiting
Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have hereunder or
otherwise at law or in equity by reason of such default or breach Lessor may do
the following:

a. TERMINATION OF LEASE. Lessor may terminate this Lease or
Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by notice to Lessee or any other
lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event
Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee:

(i) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rentals which
had been earned at the time of termination;

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

(iii) The worth at the time of award (computed by discounting at
the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of
award plus one percent) of the amount by which the unpaid Rentals for the
balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and

(iv) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Lessor for
detriment proximately caused by the default by Lessee or which in the ordinary
course of events would likely result, including without limitation the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor for:

(A) Retaking possession of the Premises;

(B) Cleaning and making repairs and alterations (including
installation of leasehold improvements, whether or not the same shall be funded
by a reduction of rent, direct payment or otherwise) necessary to return the
Premises to good condition and preparing the Premises for reletting;

(C) Removing, transporting, and storing any of Lessee's
property left at the Premises (although Lessor shall have no obligation to
remove, transport or store any of the property);

(D) Reletting the Premises, including without limitation,
brokerage commissions, advertising costs, and reasonable attorney's fees;

(E) Attorney's fees, expert witness fees and court costs;

(F) Any unamortized real estate brokerage commissions paid
in connection with this Lease; and

(G) Costs of carrying the Premises, such as repairs,
maintenance, taxes and insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions,
if any.

The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Articles
23a.(i) and 23a.(ii) is computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal to
the greater of: ten percent (10%); or five percent (5%) plus the rate
established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, as of the 25th day of
the month immediately preceding the default by Lessee, on advances to member
banks under Sections 13 and 13(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as now in effect
or hereafter from time to time amended (the "Stipulated Rate"). The computation
of the amount of rental loss that could be or could have been reasonably avoided
by Lessor pursuant to California Civil Code section 1951.2 shall take into
account the use restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8.a. above except to the
extent that Lessee proves that under all circumstances the enforcement of the
use restriction would be unreasonable.

b. CONTINUATION OF LEASE. Lessor may continue this Lease in full
force and effect, and the Lease shall continue in effect as long as Lessor does
not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor shall have the right to
enforce all rights and remedies under this Lease including the right to collect
all Rentals when due. During the period Lessee is in default, Lessor can enter
the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Lessee's
account. Lessee shall be liable immediately to Lessor for all costs Lessor
incurs in reletting the Premises, including without limitation, those items
outlined in Article 23a.(i) through a.(iv), and other like costs. Reletting can
be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Lessee
shall pay to Lessor all Rentals due under this Lease on the date the Rentals are
due, less the rent Lessor receives from any reletting. No act by Lessor allowed
by this paragraph shall

-17-
<PAGE>

terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee that Lessor elects to
terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Article 13, after Lessee's default and for as long as Lessor does not terminate
Lessee's right to possession of the Premises, if Lessee obtains Lessor's
consent, Lessee shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this
Lease, but Lessee shall not be released from liability. Lessor's consent to a
proposed assignment or subletting under this paragraph shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The use restriction provided in Paragraph 8.a. above shall apply to
Lessor's remedies under California Civil Code section 1951.4 except to the
extent that Lessee proves that under all circumstances enforcement of the use
restriction would be unreasonable.

c. OTHER REMEDIES. Lessor may pursue any other remedy now or
hereafter available to Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the State
in which the Premises are located.

d. GENERAL. The following shall apply to Lessor's remedies:

(1) No entry upon or taking possession of the Premises or any
part thereof by Lessor, nor any letting or subletting thereof by Lessor for
Lessee, nor any appointment of a receiver, nor any other act of Lessor, whether
acceptance of keys to the Premises or otherwise, shall constitute or be
construed as an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to
possession of the Premises unless a written notice of such election be given to
Lessee by Lessor.

(ii) If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right
to possession hereunder, Lessee shall surrender and vacate the Premises in
broomclean condition, and Lessor may re-enter and take possession of the
Premises and may eject all parties in possession or eject some and not others or
eject none. Any personal property of or under the control of Lessee remaining
on the Premises at the time of such re-entry may be considered and treated by
Lessor as abandoned.

(iii) Termination of this Lease or Lessee's right to possession
by Lessor shall not relieve Lessee from any liability to Lessor under any
provision of this Lease providing for any indemnification of Lessor by Lessee.
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor for all personal injuries and property damage
arising out of Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises or any acts or
omissions of Lessee or Lessee's Agents.

24. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under the power of
eminent domain (including without limitation or voluntary sale or transfer in
lieu thereof), either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, to
terminate this Lease by written notice to the other party given within ten
(10) days of the date of such taking, and Lessor shall be entitled to any and
all income, rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid
or made (the "Award") in connection with such taking, and Lessee shall have
no claim against Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.
If any part of the Building or the Project other than the Premises is so
taken, Lessor shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease, and
in any such event Lessor shall be entitled to the entire Award whether or not
this Lease is terminated. If this Lease is terminated as provided above: (i)
the termination shall be effective as of the date upon which title to the
Premises, the Building, the Project, or a portion thereof, passes to and
vests in the condemnor or the effective date of any order for possession if
issued prior to the date title vests in the condemnor; (ii) Lessor shall
refund to Lessee any prepaid but unearned Rentals and the unused balance of
the Security Deposit; and (iii) Lessee shall pay to Lessor any Rentals or
other charges due Lessor under the Lease, prorated as of the date of taking.

If twenty-five percent (25%) or less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) thereof is so taken
and neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, (i) Lessee shall
receive from the Award that portion of the Award attributable to trade fixtures
of Lessee located in the portion of the Premise taken which would otherwise have
been removable by Lessee hereunder, to the extent the Award is not payable to
the beneficiary or mortgagee of a deed of trust or mortgage affecting the
Building and Lessor shall receive the balance of the Award; and (ii) the Base
Rent thereafter to be paid hereunder for the Premises shall be reduced in the
same ratio that the percentage of the Premises so taken bears to the aggregate
rentable square feet in the Project immediately prior to the taking. In
addition, if any portion of the Building is so taken and this Lease is not
terminated by Lessor, Lessee's Percentage Share of Excess Expenses shall be
adjusted pursuant to Article 7.

Notwithstanding this Article 24 above, upon a temporary taking of all or
any portion of the Premises, the Lease shall remain in effect and Lessee shall
continue to pay and be liable for all Rentals under this Lease. Upon such
temporary taking, Lessee shall entitled to any Award for the temporary use of
the portion of the Premises taken which is attributable to the period prior to
the date of Lease Termination, and Lessor shall be entitled to any portion of
the Award for such use attributable to the period after Lease Termination. As
used in this paragraph, a temporary taking shall mean a taking for a period of
one year or less and does not include a taking which is to last for an
indefinite period and/or which will

-18-

<PAGE>

terminate only upon the happening of a specified event unless it can be
determined at the time of the taking when such event will occur.

25. OFFSET STATEMENT. Lessee shall at any time and from time to time
within ten (10) days following request from Lessor execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Lessor a statement in writing, (i) certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature
of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full
force and effect), (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Lessor hereunder, or
specifying such defaults if any are claimed, (iii) certifying the date Lessee
entered into occupancy of the Premises and that Lessee is open and conducting
business at the Premises, (iv) certifying the date to which Rentals and other
charges are paid in advance, if any, (v) certifying the current amount of
Base Rent due under the Lease; (vi) evidencing the status of this Lease as
may be required either by a lender making a loan affecting or a purchaser of
the Premises or any part of the Project from Lessor, (vii) warranting that if
any beneficiary of any security instrument encumbering the Premises
forecloses on the security instrument, such beneficiary shall not be liable
for the Security Deposit, (viii) certifying that all improvements to be
constructed on the Premises by Lessor are substantially completed, except for
any punch list items which do not prevent Lessee from using the Premises for
its intended use, and (ix) certifying such other matters relating to this
Lease and/or the Premises as may be requested by a lender making a loan to
Lessor or a purchaser of the Premises or any part of the Project from Lessor.
Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Project or any interest therein.
Lessee shall, within ten (10) days following request of Lessor, deliver such
other documents including Lessee's financial statements as are reasonably
requested in connection with the sale of, or loan to be secured by, any
portion of the Project or any interest therein.

26. PARKING. Lessee shall have the right to use the number of
nonexclusive parking spaces located within the Project designated in Article
1(1)., subject to Lessor's right to relocate such parking area from time to
time. Use of all parking spaces shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations
established by Lessor which may be altered at any time and from time to time
during the Term. Lessor reserves the right from time to time to make changes
in the size, shape, amount and extent of the Common Area (including but not
limited to the parking areas) provided Lessee's access to the Premises and
use of the number of parking spaces referenced herein is not materially
impaired or precluded. Neither Lessee nor Lessee's Agents shall at any time use
more parking spaces than the number so allocated to Lessee or park or permit the
parking of their vehicles in any portion of the Project not designated by Lessor
as a nonexclusive parking area. Lessee and Lessee's Agents shall not have the
exclusive right to use any specific parking space. Notwithstanding the number of
parking spaces designated for Lessee's nonexclusive use, if by reason of any
rule, regulation, order, law, statute or ordinance of any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority relating to or affecting parking on the Parcel,
or any cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control, Lessor is required to reduce
the number of parking spaces on the Parcel, Lessor shall have the right to
proportionately reduce the number of Lessee's parking spaces and the
nonexclusive parking spaces of other tenants of the Building. Lessor reserves
the right in its absolute discretion: to have any vehicles owned by Lessee or
Lessee's Agents which are parked in violation of the provisions of this
Article 26 or Lessor's Rules and Regulations relating to parking, towed away
at Lessee's cost. If Lessor elects or is required by any law to limit or
control parking in the Project, by validation of parking tickets or any
other method, Lessee agrees to participate in such validation or other
program under such reasonable Rules and Regulations as are from time to
time established by Lessor. Lessor shall have the right to close all or
any portion of the parking areas at reasonable times for any purpose,
including, without limitation, the prevention of a dedication thereof, or
the accrual of rights in any person or the public therein. Employees of
Lessee shall be required to park in areas designated for employee parking,
if any. The parking areas shall not be used by Lessee or Lessee's Agents
for any purpose other than the parking of motor vehicles and the ingress
and egress of pedestrians and motor vehicles. See Addendum 20 attached hereto.

27. AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation (or partnership), each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or
partnership) represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with a
duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation or in
accordance with the By-Laws of said corporation (or on behalf of said
partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership)
and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation (or partnership) in
accordance with its terms. If Lessee is a corporation, Lessee shall, upon
execution of this Lease, deliver to Lessor a certified copy of a resolution
of the Board of Directors of said corporation authorizing or ratifying the
execution of this Lease. If Lessee fails to deliver such resolution to Lessor
upon execution of this Lease, Lessor shall not be deemed to have waived its
right to require delivery of such resolution, and at any time during the Term
Lessor may request Lessee to deliver the same, and Lessee agrees it shall
thereafter promptly deliver such resolution to Lessor. If Lessee is a
corporation, Lessee hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that (i)
Lessee is a valid and existing corporation; (ii) Lessee is qualified to do
business in California; (iii) all fees and all franchise and corporate taxes
of Lessee are paid to date, and will be paid when due; (iv) all required
forms and reports

-19-
<PAGE>

will be filed when due; and (v) the signers of this Lease are properly
authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of Lessee and to bind Lessee hereto.

28. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

a. CONDITION OF PREMISES. Lessee shall, upon Lease Termination
surrender the Premises broom clean, trash free, and in good condition,
reasonable wear and tear, casualties and any other condition is not the
obligation of Lessee hereunder, alone excepted. By written notice to Lessee,
Lessor may elect to cause Lessee to remove from the Premises or cause to be
removed, at Lessee's expense, any logos, signs, notices, advertisements or
displays placed on the Premises by Lessee. If the Premises are not surrendered
as required by this Article 28, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor from any loss or
liability resulting from Lessee's failure to comply with the provisions of this
Article 28, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
tenant or losses to Lessor due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding
tenants.

b. REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. Lessee shall remove all its
personal property from the Premises upon Lease Termination, and shall
immediately repair all damage to the Premises, Building and Common Area caused
by such removal. Any personal property remaining on the Premises after the
Lease Termination may be packed, transported, and stored at a public warehouse
at Lessee's expense. If after Lease Termination and, within ten (10) days after
written demand by Lessor, Lessee fails to remove Lessee's personal property or,
if removed by Lessor, fails to pay the removal expenses, the personal property
may be deemed abandoned property by Lessor and may be disposed of as Lessor
deems appropriate. Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by or
in connection with the removal of any personal property, including without
limitation, the floor, and patch and paint the walls, when required by Lessor,
to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction, all at Lessee's sole cost and expense. The
provisions of this Article 28 shall survive Lease Termination.

29. LESSOR DEFAULT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. Lessor shall not be in
default under this Lease unless Lessee shall have given Lessor written notice of
the breach, and, within thirty (30) days after notice, Lessor has not cured the
breach or, if the breach is such that it cannot reasonably be cured under the
circumstances within thirty (30) days, has not commenced diligently to prosecute
the cure to completion, or in the case of an emergency, fails to immediately
commence such necessary repairs. Any money judgment obtained by Lessee based
upon Lessor's breach of this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds
of the sale or disposition of Lessor's interest in the Building (whether by
Lessor or by execution of judgment). Upon any default by Lessor under this
Lease, Lessee shall give notice by registered mail to any beneficiary or
mortgagee of a deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises and/or any
portion of the Project, whose address shall have been furnished to it, and shall
offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the
default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises and/or Project by
power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect
a cure.

30. RIGHTS RESERVED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall have the exclusive right in
its sole discretion, without abatement of Rentals and without limiting Lessor's
other rights under this Lease, to (i) designate the name, address, or other
designation of the Building and/or Project, without notice or liability to
Lessee; (ii) close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, escalators or other
Building facilities or temporarily abate their operation; (iii) change or revise
the Business Hours of the Building as long as the revised Business Hours are
consistent with the typical business hours for comparable buildings in the
general market; and/or (iv) expand, suspend, close, eliminate, adjust, or
replace any portion of any Project or any services within any portion of the
Project.

31. PLATS AND RIDERS. Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by the
Lessor and the Lessee and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part
hereof.

32. WAIVER. No covenant, term or condition in this Lease or the breach
thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party
against whom the waiver is claimed. Any waiver of the breach of any
covenant, term or condition herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, term or
condition. Acceptance by Lessor of any performance by Lessee after the time
the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor of the
breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise
expressly agreed to by Lessor in writing. The acceptance by Lessor of any
sum less than that which is required to be paid by Lessee shall be deemed to
have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is paid (or
for which it is allocated by Lessor, in Lessor's absolute discretion, if
Lessee does not designate the obligation as to which the payment should be
credited), and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction notwithstanding
any provisions to the contrary written on any check or contained in a letter
of transmittal. Lessor's efforts to mitigate damages caused by any default by
Lessee shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to recover damages for
any default by Lessee. No custom or practice which may arise between the
parties hereto in the administration of the terms hereof shall be construed
as a waiver or diminution of Lessor's right to demand performance by Lessee
in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease.

-20-
<PAGE>

33. NOTICES. All notices, consents and demands which may or are to be
required or permitted to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall
be in writing. All notices, consents and demands by Lessor to Lessee shall be
personally delivered or sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to Lessee as designated in Article 1m., or to such other place as Lessee may
from time to time designate in a notice to Lessor pursuant to this Article 33.
All notices and demands by Lessee to Lessor shall be personally delivered or
sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Lessor as designated
in Article 1m., or to such other person or place as Lessor may from time to time
designate in a notice to Lessee pursuant to this Article 33. Mailed notices
shall be deemed delivered three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail
as required by this Article 33 or the following business day when sent through
an overnight courier service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any legal notices
required to be sent one party to the other (including, without limitation, a
notice pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161) shall be
delivered in the manner required by law.)

34. JOINT OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee consists of more than one person or
entity, the obligations of each Lessee under this Lease shall be joint and
several.

35. MARGINAL HEADINGS. The captions of paragraphs and articles of this
Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the
construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

36. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
provisions in which performance is a factor except as to the delivery of
possession of the Premises to Lessee.

37. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and conditions herein
contained, subject to the provisions of Article 13, apply to and bind the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns of the
parties hereto.

38. RECORDATION. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall execute and
acknowledge a short form of this Lease in form for recording which may be
recorded at Lessor's election. Lessee shall not record this Lease or a short
form or memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of Lessor.

39. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the Rentals reserved hereunder
and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire Term, subject to all the provisions of
this Lease and subject to any ground or underlying leases, mortgages or deeds of
trust now or hereafter affecting the Premises or the Building and the rights
reserved by Lessor hereunder.

40. LATE CHARGES; ADDITIONAL RENT AND INTEREST.

a. LATE CHARGES. Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of Rentals or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which are
impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but
are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which
may be imposed upon Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed
covering the Premises or any part of the Project. Accordingly, if any
installment of Rentals or any other sum due from Lessee is not received by
Lessor or Lessor's designee within three (3) business days after the due
date, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in each case, a late charge equal to
five percent (5%) of such overdue amount, subject, however, to Addendum 21
attached hereto. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the cost and damages that Lessor will incur by
reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charges by Lessor
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such
overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of its other rights
and remedies under this Lease.

b. ADDITIONAL RENT AND INTEREST. All taxes, charges, costs,
expenses and other amounts which Lessee is required to pay hereunder,
including without limitation Lessee's Percentage Share of Excess Expenses,
and all interest and charges (including late charges) that may accrue thereon
upon Lessee's failure to pay the same and all damages, costs and expenses
which Lessor may incur by reason of any default by Lessee shall be deemed to
be additional rent hereunder. Upon nonpayment by Lessee of any additional
rent, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as
Lessor has for the nonpayment of Base Rent. The term "Rentals" as used in
this Lease is defined as Base Rent and all additional rent. Any payment due
from Lessee to Lessor, including but not limited to Base Rent and all
additional rent shall bear interest from the thirtieth (30th) day after the
same is due until paid, at the Stipulated Rate. Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee. In addition, Lessee shall pay
all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in collection of such
amounts. All Rentals and other monies due under this Lease shall survive
Lease Termination. Interest on Rentals past due as provided herein shall be
in addition to the late charges levied pursuant to Article 40a. above. All
Rentals shall be paid to Lessor, in lawful money of the United States of
America which shall be legal tender at the time of payment, at the address of
Lessor as provided herein, or to such other person or at such other place as
Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. If at any time during the
Term Lessee pays any

-21-
<PAGE>

Rentals due hereunder by check, which check is dishonored or is returned for
insufficient funds, Lessor shall have the right, in addition to any other rights
or remedies Lessor may have hereunder, to require that Rentals thereafter be
paid in cash or by cashier's or certified check.

41. PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Lease contains all of the agreements of the
parties hereto with respect to the Premises, this Lease or any matter covered or
mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to
any such matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease
may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the
parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not
be effective or binding on Lessor until fully executed by Lessor.

42. INABILITY TO PERFORM. This Lease and the obligations of the Lessee
hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because the Lessor is unable to
fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such
inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles, Acts of God,
or any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of the
Lessor.

43. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any action or proceeding is brought by either
party against the other under this Lease to enforce or interpret any provision
of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all its costs
and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and expert
witness fees in such action or proceeding.

44. SALE OF PREMISES BY LESSOR/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Upon a sale or
conveyance by the Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers
or conveyances, the then grantor) of Lessor's interest in the Building other
than a transfer for security purposes only, the Lessor herein named (and in case
of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be relieved,
from and after the date of such transfer, of all obligations and liabilities
accruing thereafter on the part of Lessor, provided that any funds in the hands
of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of transfer and in which Lessee has an
interest, less any deductions permitted by law or this Lease, shall be delivered
to Lessor's successor. Following such sale or conveyance by Lessor or the then
grantor, Lessee agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor-in-
interest of Lessor in and to this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by
any such sale or conveyance and Lessee agrees to attorn to the purchaser or
assignee. If the Lessor herein is a partnership, it is understood and agreed
that any claim by Lessee on Lessor shall be limited as described in Article 29,
and furthermore, Lessee expressly waives any and all rights to proceed against
the individual partners or the officers, directors or shareholders of any
corporate partner.

45. SUBORDINATION/ATTORNMENT. This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be
subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or
may hereafter be executed affecting any portion of the Project and to the lien
of any mortgages or deeds of trust (including all advances thereunder, renewals,
replacements, modifications, supplements, consolidations, and extensions
thereof) in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or
against any portion of the Project or on or against Lessor's interest or estate
therein, or on or against any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity
of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Lessee
to effectuate such subordination. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand and without charge therefor, such further instruments
evidencing the subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases
and/or to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trusts as may be required
by Lessor or a lender making a loan affecting the Project; provided that if
Lessee attorns as required below, then with respect to any ground or underlying
leases, mortgages or deeds of trust not existing as of the date this Lease is
signed by Lessor and Lessee, the lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, as
applicable, under such mortgage or deed of trust or lessor under such ground or
underlying lease shall agree in writing that so long as Lessee is not in default
under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated upon any foreclosure or any
termination of the underlying lease (other than a termination due to its natural
expiration). Failure of Lessee to execute such instruments evidencing
subordination of this Lease shall constitute a default by Lessee under this
Lease. If any mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor elects to have this Lease prior
to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or lease, and shall give written
notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage,
deed of trust or lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or lease or the date of the recording
thereof.

If any proceedings are brought to terminate any ground or underlying leases
or for foreclosure, or upon the exercise of the power of sale, under any
mortgage or deed of trust covering any portion of the Project, Lease shall
attorn to the lessor or purchaser upon any such termination, foreclosure or sale
and recognize such lessor or purchaser as the Lessor under this Lease provided
that such lessor or purchaser agrees that so long as Lessee is not in default
hereunder and attorns as required above, this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect for the full term hereof after any such termination, foreclosure or
sale.

46. NAME. Lessee shall not use any name, picture or representation of the
Building or Project for any purpose other than as an address of the business to
be conducted by the Lessee in the Premises.

-22-
<PAGE>

47. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Lease which proves to be invalid,
void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision
of this Lease and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and
effect; however, if Lessee's obligation to pay the Rentals is determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, this Lease shall terminate at the option of Lessor.

49. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease, no remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall,
wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

49. CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
in which the Premises are located.

50. SIGNS. Lessee shall not inscribe, paint, affix or place any sign,
awning, canopy, advertising matter, decoration or lettering upon any portion of
the Premises, including, without limitation, any exterior door, window or wall,
without Lessor's prior written consent. See Addendum 22 Attached Hereto.

51. GENDER AND NUMBER. Wherever the context so requires, each gender
shall include any other gender, and the singular number shall include the plural
and vice-versa.

52. CONSENTS. Whenever the consent of Lessor is required herein, the
giving or withholding of such consent in any one or any number of instances
shall not limit or waive the need for such consent in any other or future
instances. Any consent given by Lessor shall not be binding upon Lessor unless
in writing and signed by Lessor or Lessor's agents. Except with respect to
consent required in connection with an assignment or subletting pursuant to
Article 13 (which assignment or subletting shall be governed by Article 13), but
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, where Lessee is required to
obtain the consent of Lessor to do any act, or to refrain from the performance
of any act, Lessee agrees that if Lessee is in default with respect to any term,
condition, covenant or provision of this Lease, then Lessor shall be deemed to
have acted reasonably in withholding its consent if said consent is, in fact,
withheld.

53. BROKERS. Lessee warrants that it has had no dealing with any real
estate broker or agents in connection with the negotiation of this lease
excepting only the broker or agent designated in Article 1n., and that it knows
of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to or can claim a
commission in connection with this Lease. Lessee warrants that with respect to
the broker or agent designated in Article 1.n., Lessee has not incurred any
obligation for the payment of any real estate brokerage commissions which would
be earned or due and payable by reason of the execution of the Lease. Lessee
agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and
expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect
to any alleged leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing
on account of Lessee's dealings with any real estate broker or agent. Lessor
shall pay the commission due the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement.

54. SUBSURFACE AND AIRSPACE. This Lease confers on Lessee no rights
either with respect to the subsurface of the Parcel or with regard to airspace
above the top of the Building or above any paved or landscaped areas on the
Parcel or Common Area and Lessor expressly reserves the right to use such
subsurface and airspace areas, including without limitation the right to perform
construction work thereon and in regard thereto. Any diminution or shutting off
of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected by Lessor on those
portions of the Parcel, Common Area and/or Building reserved by Lessor shall in
no way affect this Lease or impose any liability on Lessor. Lessor shall have
the exclusive right to use all or any portion of the roof, side and rear walls
of the Premises and Building for any purpose. Lessee shall have no right
whatsoever to the exterior of exterior walls or the roof of the Premises or any
portion of the Project outside the Premises except as provided in Article 55 of
this Lease.

55. COMMON AREA. As used in this Lease, "Common Area" shall mean that
portion of the Project designated by Lessor for the nonexclusive use of Lessee
in common with other authorized users, including, but not limited to, vehicle
parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, landscaped areas, toilets and lavatories
entrances, lobbies, halls, atriums, corridors, stairways, passenger elevators
and service areas (collectively the "Common Area"). Lessor hereby grants to
Lessee and Lessee's Agents the nonexclusive right to use the Common Area in
common with Lessor, Lessor's agents, tenants of the Building and the Project,
other authorized users and their agents, subject to the provisions of this
Lease. This right to use the Common Area shall terminate upon Lease Termination.

56. LABOR DISPUTES. If Lessee becomes involved in or is the object of a
labor dispute which subjects the Premises or any part of the Project to any
picketing, work stoppage, or other concerted activity which in the reasonable
opinion of Lessor is in any manner detrimental to the operation of any part of
the Project or its tenants, Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee, at
Lessee's own expense and within a reasonable period of time specified by Lessor,
to use Lessee's best efforts to either resolve such

-23-
<PAGE>

labor dispute or terminate or control any such picketing, work stoppage or other
concerted activity to the extent necessary to eliminate any interference with
the operation of the Project or its tenants. To the extent such labor dispute
interferes with the performance of Lessor's duties hereunder, Lessor shall be
excused from the performance of such duties and Lessee hereby waives any and
all claims against Lessor for damages or losses in regard to such duties.
Nothing contained in this Article 56 shall be construed as placing Lessor in an
employer-employee relationship with any of Lessee's employees or with any other
employees who may be involved in such labor dispute. Lessee shall hold Lessor
harmless and indemnify Lessor from any liability (including attorneys' fees)
arising from any labor dispute in which Lessee is involved and which affects the
Premises or any part of the Project.

57. CONDITIONS. All agreements by Lessee contained in this Lease, whether
expressed as covenants or conditions, shall be construed to be both covenants
and conditions, conferring upon Lessor, upon a breach thereof, the right to
terminate this Lease.

58. LESSEE'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Lessee hereby warrants that all
financial statements delivered by Lessee to Lessor prior to the execution of
this Lease by Lessee, or that shall be delivered in accordance with the terms
hereof, are or shall be at the time delivered true, correct, and complete, and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is relying on such financial statements in
accepting this Lease, and that a breach of Lessee's warranty as to such
financial statements shall constitute a default by Lessee.

59. LESSOR NOT A TRUSTEE. Lessor shall not be deemed to be a trustee of
any funds paid to Lessor by Lessee (or held by Lessor for Lessee) pursuant to
this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep any such funds separate from
Lessor's general funds or segregated from any funds paid to Lessor by (or held
by Lessor for) other tenants of the Building. Any funds held by Lessor pursuant
to this Lease shall not bear interest.

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

61. NO PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE. Nothing in this Lease shall be
construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between Lessor, Lessee, or
any other party, or cause Lessor to be responsible for the debts or obligations
of Lessee or any other party.

62. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM LESSEE'S COVENANTS. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, if Lessee at any time fails to make any payment or
perform any other act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease,
Lessor may upon ten (10) days written notice to Lessee, but shall not be
obligated to, and without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligation under
this Lease, make such payment or perform such other act to the extent that
Lessor may deem desirable, and in connection therewith, pay expenses and employ
counsel. All sums so paid by Lessor and all penalties, interest and costs in
connection therewith shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor as additional
rent upon demand.

63. PLANS. Lessee acknowledges that any plan of the Project which may
have been displayed or furnished to Lessee or which may be a part of Exhibit "A"
or Exhibit "B" is tentative; Lessor may from time to time change the shape,
size, location, number, and extent of the improvements shown on any such plan
and eliminate or add any improvements to the Project in Lessor's sole
discretion, subject to the limitations stated elsewhere in this Lease,
including Article 26, entitled Parking.

RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, OR
CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING AND/OR HEARING BROUGHT BY EITHER
LESSOR AGAINST LESSEE OR LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

parties have been represented by counsel in connection with this Lease and that
both parties have participated in the

ADDENDA TO LEASE

These Addenda to Lease are made by and between CIGNA Property and Casualty
Insurance Company, a Connecticut corporation (hereinafter referred to as
"Lessor"), and Symantec Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
referred to as "Lessee"), who agree as set forth herein.

ADDENDUM 1:

LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE. The Commencement Date of this Lease shall be the
date that Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee in the following
condition: (i) with all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in good
operating condition, (ii) water damage to the elevator lobby repaired to the
reasonable satisfaction of Lessee, or the commitment of Lessor to bear the cost
of such repairs, provided that in the latter case, Lessor shall bear the cost
of such repairs by engaging the General Contractor (identified in the Work
Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C) to perform such repairs on or
before the Rent Start Date. To the best of Lessor's actual knowledge, as of
the Commencement Date, the Building is free of Hazardous Materials. The
anticipated Commencement Date (the "Anticipated Commencement Date") is April 20,
1995. Lessor shall deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee in the
condition required hereunder within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt by Lessor
of a fully-executed Lease Agreement, together with the payment from Lessee of
the first month's rent as required under Article 5.

The obligation of Lessee to pay rent, including Base Rent and all other
sums due hereunder, will commence on the date which is the earlier of: (i)
seventy-four (74) days following the Commencement Date, or (ii) the date upon
which Lessee commences to do business in the Premises (the "Rent Start Date"),
subject in each case to extension as provided in the Work Letter Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C.

LEASE EXPIRATION DATE. The Expiration Date of the Lease shall be the last
day of the sixtieth (60th) month following the first day of the first calendar
month following the Rent Start Date, unless extended or sooner terminated
pursuant to this Lease.

The parties hereto shall execute a commencement memorandum confirming the
Commencement Date, the Expiration Date, and the Rent Start Date.

ADDENDUM 2:

The monthly Base Rent shall be in the amounts set forth in the below schedule
of rents:

Months 01-06 $48,163.00 per month, full service
Months 07-12 $79,863.00 per month, full service
Months 13-24 $81,963.00 per month, full service
Months 25-36 $84,063.00 per month, full service
Months 37-48 $86,187.00 per month, full service
Months 49-60 $88,293.00 per month, full service

The specific increase dates referenced above shall be established upon the
determination of the actual Commencement Date of this Lease and such dates shall
be identified in the commencement memorandum referenced in Addendum 1 above.

<PAGE>

ADDENDUM 3:

2.b. EXPANSION SPACE/FIRST RIGHT OF OFFER. Following the first
anniversary date of this Lease and throughout the remaining Term, Lessor
shall notify Lessee of any space (consisting of five thousand [5,000]
rentable square feet or more) which may become available to lease, subject to
any existing rights of other tenants in the Building which have been
identified in writing by Lessor as of the date of this Lease. Such notice
shall be given to Lessee prior to such space being made available to the
outside market and shall state therein the terms and conditions under which
Lessor would lease such space. Lessee is granted the option to lease any such
space (the "First Right of Offer") at the then current Fair Market Rental
Value (defined in Addendum 5 below) for said space and otherwise on the same
terms and conditions as are set forth herein, except as specifically noted in
Lessor's notice to Lessee. If Lessee, within five (5) business days after
receipt of written notice from Lessor stating said space is becoming
available to lease, indicates in writing its agreement to lease same, Lessor
and Lessee shall have an additional ten (10) days in which to agree upon the
Fair Market Rental Value for such space. If they are unable to do so, the
Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by the appraisal process
described in Addendum 5, below. Upon agreement on, or determination of, the
Fair Market Rental Value, the parties shall immediately execute an amendment
to this Lease stating the addition of the pertinent expansion space to the
Premises.

ADDENDUM 4:

3.b. OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Lessee is given the option to extend the
Term on all provisions contained in this Lease (except for Base Rent and such
other terms and conditions as are specifically or by their operation limited
to the initial Term only), for a period of three (3) years immediately
following the expiration of the Term (the "Extended Term"), by giving notice
of exercise of the option to Lessor at least nine (9) months but not more
than one (1) year before the expiration of the Term (the "Option Notice").

Lessor's ability to plan for the orderly transaction of its rental
business, to accommodate the needs of other existing and potential tenants,
and to enjoy the benefits of increasing rentals at such times as Lessor is
able to do so in its sole and absolute discretion, are fundamental elements
of Lessor's willingness to provide Lessee with the option to extend contained
herein. Accordingly, Lessee acknowledges that Lessee's strict compliance with
the notification provisions contained herein, and Lessee's strict compliance
with the time period for such notification contained herein, are material
elements of the bargained-for exchange between Lessor and Lessee and are
material elements of Lessee's consideration paid to Lessor in exchange for
the grant of option. Therefore, Lessee's failure to adhere strictly and
completely to the provisions and time frame contained in this option shall
render the option automatically null, void, and of no further force or
effect, without notice, acknowledgment, or any action of any nature of sort,
required of Lessor. Lessee acknowledges that no other act or notice, other
than the express written notice set forth hereinabove, shall act to put Lessor
on notice of Lessee's intent to extend, and Lessee hereby waives any claims
to the contrary, notwithstanding any other actions of Lessee during the terms
of this Lease or any statements, written or oral, of Lessee to Lessor to the
contrary during the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Lessee is in default on the date of giving the Option Notice, the Option
Notice shall be totally ineffective, until the default in question is cured
as set forth in this Lease.

<PAGE>
ADDENDUM 5:

5.b RENT DURING EXTENDED TERM. The parties shall have thirty (30) days
after Lessor receives the Option Notice (as defined in Addendum 4 above) in
which to agree upon the Base Rent to be payable during the Extended Term. The
Base Rent payable during the Extended Term shall be an amount equal to
ninety-five percent (95%) of the then current "Fair Market Rental Value"
(defined below) of the Premises at the time of the commencement of the
proposed Extended Term. In no event, however, shall the Base Rent during the
Extended Term be less than the average Base Rent payable during the initial
Lease Term.

The term "Fair Market Rental Value" of the Premises as used in this
Lease shall mean the then prevailing fair market rent for the Premises at the
expiration of the Term. In determining such rate, Lessor may consider first
class office space comparable in size and quality to the Premises, if any,
located in the vicinity of the Project and located in buildings comparable
in size and quality to the Building in which the Premises are located, and
taking into consideration all other factors normally considered by real
estate appraisers to determine Fair Market Rental Value but without regard
for any value attributable to Alterations, additions or improvements made at
the sole cost of Lessee.

If the parties so agree on the fair market rental value for the Premises
within said thirty (30) day period, they shall immediately execute an
amendment to this Lease stating the Base Rent to be paid during the Extended
Term.

If the parties are unable to agree on the Base Rent for the Extended
Term within that period, then Lessee, within three (3) days following the
expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, shall have the right to
elect to (a) withdraw the exercise of the Extended Option, or (b)
participate with Lessor in the appraisal procedure set forth below. Lessee's
failure to make an election within the aforesaid three (3) days shall be
deemed an election to proceed pursuant to the procedure set forth below.

Within five (5) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period
described above, each party, at its sole cost and by giving notice to the
other, shall appoint a qualified, independent M.A.I. real estate appraiser
with an least five (5) years commercial appraisal experience in Santa Clara
County, to appraise and set the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises
for the Extended Term.

Each such appraiser shall complete and submit his or her written
appraisal setting forth the Fair Market Rental Value to both Lessor and
Lessee within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the last of such
two (2) appraisers. If the higher of the two (2) appraisals does not exceed
the lower appraisal by more than ten percent (10%), then the Fair Market
Rental Value shall be the average of the two (2) appraised values. If the
higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than ten percent (10%),
Lessor and Lessee shall together appoint a third appraiser within ten (10) days
after each has received the last of the first two (2) appraisals. The third
appraiser shall complete and submit his or her written appraisal setting forth
the Fair Market Rental Value to both Lessor and Lessee within thirty (30) days
after his or her appointment. The Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises
shall be the average of the two (2) of the three (3) appraisals that are the
closest to each other.

Lessor and Lessee each shall pay the fee and expenses charged by its
appraiser plus one-half of the fee and expenses charged by the third
appraiser.

-3-

<PAGE>

The Fair Market Rental Value, determined in accordance with the
provisions hereof, shall be conclusive and binding upon Lessor and Lessee.

ADDENDUM 6:

Lessee may, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, cause an audit of
Lessor's books and records relating to Project. If such audit discloses that
Lessor has over-reported its actual Project Taxes and Operating Expenses, and
such over-reporting has resulted in an over-payment by Lessee, Lessor shall
promptly reimburse Lessee for the amount of such over-payment. Additionally,
if such over-reported amount exceeds ten percent (10%) of the aggregate
amount for Project Taxes and Operating Expenses, then Lessor shall reimburse
Lessee for the cost of the audit in an amount not to exceed two thousand five
hundred dollars ($2,500.00). In the event the audit discloses that Lessor has
under-reported its actual Project Taxes and Operating Expenses and such
under-reporting has resulted in under-payment by Lessee, Lessee shall
promptly pay Lessor such additional amount due.

ADDENDUM 7:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee shall
have no obligation to perform or to pay directly, or to reimburse Lessor for,
all or any portion of the following costs:
(i) any capitalized item;
(ii) any cost for which Lessor has a right of reimbursement from others;
(iii) costs to correct any latent defects in the Building (provided,
however, costs to correct latent defects associated with the Tenant
Improvements installed by Lessee shall be borne by Lessee)'
(iv) the cost of any tenant improvements constructed within the
Building;
(v) capital reserves;
(vi) leasing fees, commissions, or other such costs relating to the
marketing of the Building to other tenants;
(vii) legal fees incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes
with other occupants of the Building;
(viii) interest, charges and fees incurred on debt, payments on
mortgages and rent under ground leases, if any;
(ix) advertising or promotional costs;
(x) costs for sculptures, paintings and other art objects to the extent
such items cost in excess of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00);
(xi) the cost to remove, remediate, dispose of, or clean-up any
Hazardous Materials from the Project unless Lessee, its agents, employees, or
contractors have used, stored, or disposed of such Hazardous Materials in or
about the Premises or the Project;
(xii) wages, salaries, compensation, and labor burden for any employee
not directly involved with the management or maintenance of the Project;
(xiii) costs of utilities separately metered to other tenants of the
Project, or for after hour utilities provided to other tenants in the
Building;
(xiv) any co-insurance payment or deductible amount which exceeds (a)
with respect to casualty insurance, twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00)
for the entire Building in any one occurrence, and (b) with respect to

1995 and the cost therefor included in the Base Expenses.

ADDENDUM 8:

Project Taxes shall not include any additional real estate taxes payable with
respect to specialized tenant improvements (in excess of building standard
improvements) to the extent such specialized improvements are installed in
other tenant spaces.

ADDENDUM 9:

Lessee shall not be required to construct or pay the cost of complying with
any applicable laws (i) requiring construction of improvements in the
Premises which are properly capitalized under generally accepted accounting
principles, unless such compliance is necessitated because of Lessee's
particular use of the Premises, or (ii) regarding the presence of Hazardous
Materials, unless the same were stored, used or disposed of by Lessee, its
agents, employees or contractors on or about the Premises.

ADDENDUM 10:

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, Lessee shall not be
responsible for the costs to perform any construction or renovation to the
rest room facilities located within the Premises when such construction or
alteration may be necessary to cause such facilities to comply with Title III
of the ADA, and any such construction or alteration shall be performed at the
cost of Lessor.

Lessor shall perform, at its cost, any construction or renovation necessary
to the common areas of the Building to comply with the ADA, including any
such construction or renovation necessary to the elevators and parking
facilities.

ADDENDUM 11:

At the time Lessee requests consent to an Alteration, if consent is required
for the Alteration in question, and otherwise promptly following written
request therefor, Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing whether it will
require Lessee to remove any Alterations from the Premises upon termination

-5-
<PAGE>

depreciation, amortization and other tax benefits with respect thereto. Except

provided Lessee repairs all damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

Lessor shall have no lien or other interest whatsoever in any items of Lessee's
Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein located in the Premises or
elsewhere, and Lessor hereby waives all such liens and interests. Within ten

title, lien or interest in Lessee's Property located within the Premises.

ADDENDUM 12:

Lessee shall not be directly responsible to perform any repair or maintenance
which is: (i) necessitated by the acts of any other occupant of the Project, or
their respective agents, employees, or contractors; (ii) occasioned by fire,
acts of God or other casualty (except to the extent caused by or contributed by
Lessee), or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, (iii) for which
Lessor has a right of reimbursement from others, (iv) which would be treated as
a "capital expenditure" under generally accepted accounting principles.

ADDENDUM 13:
- -----------

If, for any reason within the reasonable control of Lessor or Lessor's agents,
fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises should become unsuitable for
Lessee's use as a consequence of cessation of utilities or other services
required to be provided to the Premises by Lessor, and Lessor fails to commence
any necessary repairs and diligently prosecute such work to completion, then
Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of rent to the extent of
the interference with Lessee's use of the Premises occasioned thereby. If such
interference cannot be corrected such that the Premises will be reasonably
suitable for Lessee's intended use within sixty (60) days following the
occurrence of such event, then Lessee also shall be entitled to terminate this
Lease by delivery of written notice to Lessor.

ADDENDUM 14:

in assignment and subletting proceeds, and notwithstanding any right of
recapture granted to Lessor, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to: (i) a
subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation which controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with Lessee; and (ii) a successor corporation related
to Lessee by merger, consolidation, reorganization, or governmental action.
Lessor's consent shall not be required prior to the purchase of substantially
all of Lessee's assets located in the Premises; provided, however, such purchase
shall be deemed a Transfer under this Lease. For the purpose of this Lease,
sale of Lessee's capital stock through any public exchange shall not be deemed
an assignment, subletting, or any other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.
Lessor's consent to any proposed assignment or subletting shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, and whether or not Lessor's
consent is required with respect to any proposed assignment or subletting,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with prior written notice in each such event.

ADDENDUM 15:

Lessor shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessee from all damages, liabilities,
claims, judgments, actions, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees, costs and

employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or the breach of Lessor's
obligations or representations under this Lease.

ADDENDUM 16:
- -----------

As requested by Lessee, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with HVAC services at times
other than normal Business Hours for the Building provided Lessee pays to
Lessor, as Additional Rent, the standard charge for such additional services.
The current rate for additional HVAC service is twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per
hour, per zone. The Premises consists of two (2) zones (east and west zones).
Such hourly charge shall be subject to increase as Lessor's actual costs to
provide such additional service increase from time to time. For the purposes of
this Lease, normal Business Hours for the Building are Monday through Friday,
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., weekends and recognized holidays excepted.

ADDENDUM 17:
- -----------

Lessor and Lessor's agents, except in the case of emergency, shall provide
Lessee with twenty-four (24) hours notice prior to entry of the Premises. Such

than reasonably necessary. During any such entry, Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall at all times be accompanied by Lessee and shall comply with Lessee's
security procedures.

ADDENDUM 18:
- -----------

Lessor shall notify Lessee within forty-five (45) days following any damage to
or destruction of the Premises (or the Building if such damage or destruction
materially interferes with Lessee's use of the Premises) the length of time
Lessor reasonably estimates to be necessary for repair or restoration. Lessee
shall have the right to terminate the Lease within fifteen (15) days following
receipt of such notice if restoration or repair of the damage will take more
than one hundred eighty (180) days.

ADDENDUM 19:
- -----------

Lessor shall grant Lessee two (2) grace periods over a twelve (12) month period
of time; each such grace period shall consist of five (5) calendar days after

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

THIS WORK LETTER AGREEMENT ("Agreement") supplements the Lease Agreement
("Lease") dated concurrently herewith, by and between CIGNA Property and
Casualty Insurance Company, a Connecticut corporation ("Lessor") and Symantec
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Lessee"), with respect to those certain
premises described in the Lease (the "Premises"). All terms not defined
herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.

1. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

a. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Lessee shall engage the General
Contractor, identified below, to construct in the Premises the improvements
shown on the plans and specifications approved by Lessor and Lessee pursuant
to Paragraph 2 below (the "Tenant Improvements").

b. CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES. Lessor hereby appoints the
following person as Lessor's representative ("Lessor's Representative") to
act for Lessor in all matters covered by this Agreement: Bob Phipps. Lessee
hereby appoints the following person as Lessee's representative ("Lessee's
Representative") to act for Lessee in all matters covered by this Agreement:
Ron Smith. All communications with respect to the matters covered by this
Agreement shall be made to Lessor's Representative or Lessee's
Representative, as the case may be. Either party may change its
representative under this Agreement at any time upon twenty-four (24) hours
written notice to the other party.

2. CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR LEASED PREMISES.

a. PREPARATION OF SPACE PLANS. Lessor hereby approves the use
by Lessee of Bonesteel Architects, Inc. (the "Architect") to be retained by
Lessee in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Promptly following the date hereof, Lessee shall cause the Architect to
prepare preliminary space plans for the Leased Premises and layout of the
Tenant Improvements therein ("Space Plans"). The Space Plans shall be
submitted to Lessor for Lessor's approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Within no more than five (5) days of receipt of the Space Plans:
(i) Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of Lessor's approval of the Space
Plans or (ii), if Lessor disapproves of any portion of the Space Plans,
Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of such disapproval and the specific
reasons therefor. Promptly following approval by Lessee of Lessor's response,
Lessee shall submit to Lessor, for Lessor's reasonable approval, a redesign
of the Space Plans, incorporating those revisions required by Lessor.

1
<PAGE>

b. PREPARATION OF FINAL PLANS. Based on the approved Space
Plans, Lessee shall cause the Architect, in consultation with Lessor's
engineers, if necessary, to prepare complete architectural plans, drawings
and specifications and complete engineering, mechanical, structural and
electrical working drawings for the Tenant Improvements, as necessary in
light of standard industry practice (collectively, the "Final Plans"). The
Final Plans shall be approved in the same manner as provided in Paragraph
2.a. above for approval of Space Plans. If the Space Plans or Final Plans are
not approved within the period of time provided herein as a result of the
failure by Landlord to review and approve such plans promptly, or as a result
of the failure to resolve any objections to such plans promptly, the Rent
Start Date shall be delayed one day for each day of delay so caused.

c. APPROVALS. Lessee shall be solely responsible for
obtaining required approval of the Final Plans by all governmental agencies
having jurisdiction, including all necessary permits and any certificates of
occupancy (or other required, equivalent approval from the local governmental
authority permitting occupancy of the Premises). Lessor shall reasonably
cooperate with Lessee in obtaining such approvals.

3. EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS. Lessor has delivered to Lessee "as-built"
plans depicting the Premises and the current improvements located therein, as
well as Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems serving the
Premises, which "as-built" plans, to the best knowledge of Lessor, are
complete and accurate in all material respects. Lessor shall have no
obligation to contribute to the cost of correcting any condition in the
Premises solely because that condition does not comply with applicable law as
of the Commencement Date of the Lease. Except for the requirement to renovate
the ceiling in the Premises to comply with seismic safety requirements,
Lessor is not aware of any requirement to perform any construction or
renovation to cause the Premises to comply with applicable law.

4. CONSTRUCTION.

a. GENERAL CONTRACTOR. The parties hereby approve South Bay
Construction Company as the general contractor for construction of the Tenant
Improvements (the "General Contractor"). If Lessee determines that a
substitute general contractor will be required, the consent of Lessor to such
substitute general contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

b. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. All Tenant Improvements
shall be performed diligently, in a first-class, workmanlike manner and in
accordance with all applicable laws. Prior to commencing such work, Lessee
shall furnish Lessor with sufficient evidence that Lessee and the General
Contractor are carrying worker's compensation insurance in
statutorily-required amounts, comprehensive general liability insurance and
all other insurance in compliance with the Lease. Lessee shall use all
reasonable efforts to ensure that the work performed by the General
Contractor and all subcontractors will not compromise the integrity of any
Building systems (other than temporarily, as required during the construction
of the Tenant Improvements). Lessor shall have the right to enter the
Premises at all reasonable times to

<PAGE>

inspect the progress of the construction of the Tenant Improvements and to
post notices of non-responsibility. Lessor shall comply with all of Lessee's
reasonable safety policies and procedures while on the Premises, and shall
not unreasonably interfere with construction of the Tenant Improvements.

5. CONSTRUCTION COST.

a. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Lessor shall provide to Lessee
an allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") of Six Hundred Nine
Thousand Four Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($609,415) which Tenant Improvement
Allowance shall be applied to the cost of constructing the Tenant
Improvements. Lessor shall disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance as
construction proceeds, in accordance with reasonable requirements proposed by
Lessor, to reimburse to Lessee the cost of constructing the Tenant
Improvements. Lessee shall be entitled to a credit (the "Credit") against
Base Monthly Rent first coming due under the Lease in an amount equal to the
unexpended portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance on a "dollar for
dollar" basis, which Credit shall not exceed Forty Eight Thousand One Hundred
Sixty Three Dollars ($48,163.00). If Lessee elects to receive the Credit in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Term of this Lease shall be
extended by a number of days equal to the number calculated by dividing (i)
the total Credit to be received by Lessee by (ii) One Thousand Five Hundred
Fifty Four Dollars ($1,554.00) (the daily average Base Monthly Rent payable
during the first month of the Term). For example, if the Credit which Lessee
is entitled to, and elects to, receive is Fifteen Thousand Five Hundred Forty
Dollars ($15,540.00), the Term of this Lease shall be extended by ten (10)
days.

b. ADDITIONAL TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Upon request of
Lessee, Lessor shall provide to Lessee an additional allowance (the
"Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance") of up to Two Hundred Thirty Four
Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Six Dollars ($234,966), which Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance shall be applied to the cost of constructing the Tenant
Improvements. Lessor shall disburse the Additional Tenant Improvement
Allowance as construction proceeds in the same manner as the Tenant
Improvement Allowance is disbursed. The portion of the Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance disbursed at the direction of Lessee shall be
reimbursed to Lessor by an increase in Base Monthly Rent equal to the amount
so disbursed, amortized in equal monthly payments over the initial Term of
this Lease, together with ten percent (10%) simple interest per annum. For
example, if Two Hundred Thousand Dollars of the Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance is disbursed at the direction of Lessee, each of the
sixty (60) payments of Base Monthly Rent during the initial term will be
increased by Four Thousand Two Hundred Forty Nine Dollars ($4,249) per month.

c. CHANGES. Lessee shall be entitled to authorize changes to
the Space Plans and Final Plans without the consent of Lessor provided that
(i) such changes do not materially and adversely affect the structural elements
of the Building, or the mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems serving
the Premises, or (ii) Lessee reasonably determines that such changes are
required by any governmental authority. Unless Lessee has obtained the
consent of the

<PAGE>

Lessor, Lessee shall make no other material changes to the scope of the
Tenant Improvements as depicted on the approved Final Plans. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, a material change shall be considered any change
which result in a net increase in construction cost of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) or more. In any instance in which Lessor's approval for a change is
required, Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold consent to such change, and
shall respond to a request for approval of such change as soon as reasonably
possible and, in any event, within no more than forty-eight (48) hours.
Lessee shall advise Lessor as soon as reasonably possible of any changes made
which did not require Lessor's consent.

6. COMPLETION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Upon completion of the Tenant
Improvements, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor a written
acknowledgement that the Tenant Improvements have been accepted and are
approved by Lessee, together with (i) copies of all final conditional lien
releases and conditional waivers of all lien rights from the General
Contractor and all subcontractors, and (ii) "as-built" plans depicting the
Tenant Improvements. All items of Tenant Improvements, the cost of which is
covered by the Tenant Improvement Allowance or the Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance, shall be the property of Lessor and shall remain on
the Leased Premises at all times during the Term of the Lease, except as
otherwise provided in the Lease.

7. INTERPRETATION. In the event of any inconsistency between this
Agreement and the Lease with respect to the subject matter addressed herein,
the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties shall have the same
rights and remedies in the event of a failure to perform hereunder as would
apply in the event of a failure to perform any obligation under the Lease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement intending to
be bound as of the date set forth above.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

STOCK OPTION GRANT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. GRANT OF OPTION. Symantec Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
(the "COMPANY"), hereby grants to the optionee named above (the "OPTIONEE") an
option (this "OPTION") to purchase the total number of shares of common stock of
the Company set forth above (the "SHARES") at the exercise price per share set
forth above (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), subject to all of the terms and conditions
set forth below and in the Company's 1988 Employees Stock Option Plan, as
amended (the "PLAN"). If designated as an Incentive Stock Option above, this
Option is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" ("ISO") within the
meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "CODE"). If
not so designated, this Option shall be a nonqualified stock option ("NQSO").

2. EXERCISE PERIOD OF OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein and in the Plan, Optionee may exercise this Option in whole or
in part for any Vested Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 8
hereof; provided, however, that this Option shall expire and terminate on the
date (the "Expiration Date") which is ten years after the date of grant set
forth above (the "Grant Date"), or earlier, as provided in Section 4 hereof, and
must be exercised, if at all, on or before the Expiration Date.

3. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option is subject to
the following limitations:

(a) This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state
securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise.

(b) This Option may not be exercised until the Plan, or any
required increase in the number of Shares authorized under the Plan, is approved
by the stockholders of the Company.

4. TERMINATION OF OPTION. Except as provided below in this Section,
this Option shall terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee ceases to be
employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (or in the
case of an NQSO, an Affiliate of the Company) (as defined in the Plan).
Optionee shall be considered to be employed by the Company if Optionee is an
officer, director or full-time employee of the Company, or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or if the Committee (as defined in the
Plan) determines that Optionee is rendering substantial services as a part-time
employee, consultant or independent contractor to the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. The Committee shall have discretion to
determine whether Optionee has ceased to be employed by the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company and the effective date on which
such employment terminated (the "TERMINATION DATE").

(a) If Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company for any reason except death or
disability, Optionee may exercise this Option to the extent (and only to the
extent) that it would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date, within
three months after the Termination Date, provided that, if Optionee is an
Insider (as defined in the Plan) and the Company is subject to section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as then in effect (the "EXCHANGE ACT"),
this Option will be exercisable for a period of time sufficient to allow
Optionee to avoid having a matching purchase and sale under Section 16(b), with
any extension beyond three months from termination of employment in the case of
an Option constituting an ISO being deemed to result in the Option becoming an
NQSO, and provided further that in no event may this Option be exercisable later
than the Expiration Date.

(b) If Optionee's employment with the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company is terminated because of the death or
disability of Optionee within the meaning of Section 22(e) (3) of the Code, the
Option may be exercised to the extent (and only to the extent) that it would
have been

2
<PAGE>

exercisable by Optionee on the Termination Date, by Optionee (or the Optionee's
legal representative) within 12 months after the date of termination, but in any
event no later than the Expiration Date.

Nothing herein or in the Plan shall confer on Optionee any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company,
or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company to terminate Optionee's employment at any time, with or
without cause.

5. MANNER OF EXERCISE.

(a) This Option shall be exercisable by delivery to the Company
of an executed written Notice of Intent to Exercise Stock Option in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, or in such other form as may be approved by the
Company (the "EXERCISE AGREEMENT"), which shall set forth Optionee's election to
exercise this Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any restrictions
imposed on the Shares and such other representations and agreements regarding
Optionee's investment intent and access to information as may be required by the
Company to comply with applicable securities laws.

(b) Such Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment
of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased (i) in cash (by check);
(ii) by surrender of shares of common stock of the Company that have been owned
by the Optionee for more than six months (and which have been paid for within
the meaning of SEC Rule 144 and, if such shares were purchased from the Company
by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such
shares) or were obtained by the Optionee in the open public market, having a
Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the exercise price of the
Option; (iii) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Optionee for services
rendered; (iv) provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists,
through a "same day sale" commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that
is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD DEALER")
whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a
portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the
NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the
Exercise Price directly to the Company; (v) provided that a public market for
the Company's stock exists, through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and
an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option
and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as
security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price,
and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (vi) by any combination
of the foregoing where approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(c) WITHHOLDING TAXES. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon
exercise of this Option, Optionee must pay or make adequate provision for any
applicable federal or state withholding obligations of the Company. The
Optionee may provide for payment of withholding taxes upon exercise of the
Option by requesting that the Company retain Shares with a Fair Market Value
equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. In such case, the
Company shall issue the net number of Shares to the Optionee by deducting the
Shares retained from the Shares exercised.

(d) ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Provided that such notice and payment
are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company
shall cause the Shares to be issued in the name of Optionee or Optionee's legal
representative or assignee.

6. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES. If the Option
granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the
later of (1) the date which is two years after the Grant Date, or (2) the date
one year after exercise of the ISO with respect to the Shares to be sold or
disposed, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such
disposition. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionee may be subject to
income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by
the Optionee from any such early disposition by payment in cash or out of the
current wages or other earnings payable to the Optionee.

3
<PAGE>

7. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. If this Option is an ISO, or if
Optionee is an Insider subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then this
Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the law of
descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee. Otherwise, this Option may only be transferred
to Optionee's immediate family, to a trust for the benefit of Optionee or
Optionee's immediate family, or to a charitable entity qualified under IRC
Section 501(c), where "immediate family" shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or
antecedent, brother or sister. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Optionee.

8. VESTING SCHEDULE. For purposes of determining which Shares are
"VESTED SHARES" and exercisable hereunder, the following vesting schedule (the
"VESTING SCHEDULE") shall apply, provided that the Optionee remains continually
employed by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company:
25% of the Shares shall vest on the First Vesting Date, as specified above, with
the remaining Shares vesting at the rate of 2.0833% of the total Shares per
month over the subsequent three years.

9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The issuance and transfer
of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Optionee with
all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all
applicable requirements of any stock exchange or national market system on which
the Company's common stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or
transfer.

10. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the
date of this Option of some of the federal and California tax consequences of
exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS
NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING
OF THE SHARES.

(a) EXERCISE OF ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there
will be no regular federal income tax liability or California income tax
liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price
will be treated as a tax preference item for federal income tax purposes and may
subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

(b) EXERCISE OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION. If this Option does
not qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal income tax liability and a
California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. The Optionee
will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. The Company will be
required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and
pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this
compensation income at the time of exercise.

(c) DISPOSITION OF SHARES. If the Shares are held for at least
twelve months in the case of an NQSO and twelve months in the case of an ISO
after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of this
Option (and, in the case of an ISO, are disposed of at least two years after the
Grant Date), any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
long term capital gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If
Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within such one year period or
within two years after the Grant Date, any gain realized on such disposition
will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the
extent of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of exercise over the Exercise Price.

11. INTERPRETATION. Any dispute regarding the interpretation hereof
or of the Plan shall be submitted by Optionee or the Company forthwith to the
Company's Board of Directors or the committee thereof that administers the Plan,
which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of
such a dispute by the Board or committee shall be final and binding on the
Company and on Optionee.

<PAGE>

12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Plan and the Exercise Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference. This Stock Option Grant, including these
Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant, constitute the entire agreement of
the parties and supersede all prior undertakings and agreements with respect to
the subject matter hereof.

consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended and the financial statement schedule No. II which report
appears in the March 31, 1995 annual report on Form 10-K of Symantec
Corporation.

Our report dated August 6, 1993, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that substantially all of the Company's debt matured May 15, 1993 and one half
of the redeemable preferred stock is redeemable June 30, 1993. In addition, the
Company suffered substantial losses from operations for the year ended
December 31, 1992. These situations raise substantial doubt about the entity's
ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements
and the financial statement schedule No. II do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome
of that uncertainty.
