        4.2.   Operating Expense Increase. Lessee shall pay to Lessor during the
               term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Lessee's Share, as
               hereinafter defined, of the amount by which all Operating

               the amount of all Operating Expenses for the Base Year, such
               excess being hereinafter referred to as the "Operating Expense
               Increase", in accordance with the following provisions:

               (a)    "Lessee's Share" is defined, for purposes of this Lease,
                      as the percentage set forth in paragraph 1.10 of the Basic
                      Lease Provisions, which percentage has been determined by
                      dividing the approximate square footage of the Premises by
                      the total approximate square footage of the rentable space
                      contained in the Office Building Project.  It is
                      understood and agreed that the square footage figures set
                      forth in the Basic Lease Provisions are approximations
                      which Lessor and Lessee agree are reasonable and shall not
                      be subject to revision except in connection with an actual
                      change in the size of the Premises or a change in the
                      space available for lease in the Office Building Project.

               (b)    "Base Year" is defined as the calendar year in which the
                      Lease term commences.

               (c)    "Comparison Year" is defined as each calendar year during
                      the term of this Lease subsequent to the Base Year;
                      provided, however, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay
                      a share of the Operating Expense Increase applicable to
                      the first twelve (12) months of the Lease Term (other than
                      such as are mandated by a governmental authority, as to
                      which government mandated expenses Lessee shall pay
                      Lessee's  Share, notwithstanding  they occur during the
                      first twelve (12) months; Lessee's Share of the Operating
                      Expense Increase for the first and last Comparison Years
                      of the Lease Term shall be prorated according to that
                      portion of such Comparison Year as to which Lessee is
                      responsible for a share of such increase.

                      Increase for any Comparison Year, and the same shall be
                      payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate,
                      during each Comparison Year of the Lease term, on the same
                      day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that
                      Lessee pays Lessor's estimate of Lessee's Share of
                      Operating Expense Increase as aforesaid, Lessor shall
                      deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the
                      expiration of each Comparison Year a reasonably detailed
                      statement showing Lessee's Share of the actual Operating
                      Expense Increase incurred during such year. If Lessee's
                      payments under this paragraph 4.2(g) during said
                      Comparison Year exceed Lessee's Share as indicated on said
                      statement, Lessee shall be entitled to credit the amount
                      of such overpayment against Lessee's Share of Operating
                      Expense Increase next falling due. If Lessee's payments
                      under this paragraph during said Comparison Year were less
                      than Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee
                      shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within
                      ten (10) days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said
                      statement. Lessor and Lessee shall forthwith adjust
                      between them by each payment any balance determined to
                      exist with respect to that portion of the last Comparison
                      Year for which Lessee is responsible as to Operating
                      Expense Increases, notwithstanding that the Lease term may
                      have terminated before the end of such Comparison Year.

        4.3    Rent Increase.

               4.3.1  At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic Lease
                      Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph
                      4.1 of this Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if
                      any, in the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor
                      Statistics of the Department of Labor for All Urban
                      Consumers, (1967-100). "All Items," for the city nearest
                      the location of the Building, herein referred to as
                      "C.P.I.", since the date of this Lease.

               4.3.2  The monthly Base Rent payable pursuant to paragraph 4.3.1
                      shall be calculated as follows: the Base Rent payable for
                      the first month of the term of this Lease, as set forth in
                      paragraph 4.1 of this Lease, shall be multiplied by a
                      fraction of the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of
                      the calendar month during which the adjustment is to take
                      effect, and the denominator of which shall be the C.P.I.
                      for the calendar month in which the original Lease form
                      commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
                      monthly Base Rent hereunder, but, in no event, shall such
                      new monthly Base Rent be less than the Base Rent payable
                      for the month immediately preceding the date for the rent
                      adjustment.

               4.3.3  In the event the compilation and/or publication of the
                      C.P.I. shall be transferred to any other governmental
                      department or bureau or agency or shall be discontinued,
                      then the index most nearly the same as the C.P.I. shall be
                      used to make such calculations. In the event that Lessor
                      and lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then
                      the matter shall be submitted for decision to the American
                      Arbitration Association in the county in which the

                      Premises are located, in accordance with the then rules of
                      said association and the decision of the arbitrators shall
                      be binding upon the parties, notwithstanding one party
                      failing to appear after due notice of the proceeding. The
                      cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor
                      and Lessee.

               4.3.4  Lessee shall continue to pay the rent at the rate
                      previously in effect until the increase, if any, is
                      determined. Within five (5) days following the date on
                      which the increase is determined, Lessee shall make such
                      payment to Lessor as will bring the increased rental
                      current, commencing with the effective date of such
                      increase through the date of any rental installments then
                      due. Thereafter the rental shall be paid at the increased
                      rate.

               4.3.5  At such time as the amount of any change in the rental
                      required by this Lease is known or determined, Lessor and
                      Lessee shall execute an amendment this Lease setting forth
                      such change.

5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder. If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all
or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which
Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the
full amount then required of Lessee, if the monthly Base Rent shall, from time
to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times
bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial security
deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth In paragraph 1.6 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessees
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore
been applied by Lessor shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

6.      Use.

6.1            Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose
               set forth in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provisions or any
               other use which is reasonably comparable to that use and for no
               other purpose.

[The following text has been struck out of the original document]

               (a)    Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state
                      existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but
                      without regard to alterations or improvements made by
                      Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the
                      Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions
                      of record, or any applicable building code, regulation or

                      ordinance in effect on such Lease term Commencement Date.
                      In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
                      violated then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor,
                      after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's
                      sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation.

              (b)     Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
                      Lessee's expense, promptly comply with all applicable
                      statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders,
                      covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of
                      any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, new in
                      effect, or which may hereafter come into effect, whether
                      or not they reflect a change in policy from that now
                      existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof,
                      relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation
                      and use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall conducts
                      its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or
                      permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any
                      manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or
                      shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Office
                      Building Project.

        6.3    Condition of Premises.

               (a)    Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean
                      condition on the Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is
                      already in possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that
                      the plumbing, lighting, air conditioning, and heating
                      system in the Premises shall be in good operating

                      warranty has been violated, then it shall be the
                      obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from
                      Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the
                      violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost, rectify
                      such violation.

               (b)    Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
                      accepts the Premises and the Office Building Project in
                      their condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date
                      or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises,
                      whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning,
                      municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and
                      regulations governing and regulating the use of the

                      matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached
                      hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied itself
                      by its own independent investigation that the Premises are
                      suitable for its intended use, and that neither Lessor nor
                      Lessor's agent or agents has made any representation or
                      warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
                      Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the
                      conduct of Lessees business.

               Project, including the Premises, interior and exterior walls,
               roof, and common areas, and the equipment whether used
               exclusively for the Premises or in common with other premises, in
               good condition and repair; provided,

               however, Lessor shall not be obligated to paint, repair or
               replace wall coverings, or to repair or replace any improvements
               that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or are above then
               Building standards. Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there
               shall be no abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account
               of any injury or interference with Lessee's business with respect
               to any improvements, alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the
               Office Building Project or any part thereof. Lessee expressly
               waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect
               which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at
               Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's
               failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

        7.2    Lessees Obligations.

               (a)    Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises
                      in good condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible
                      for payment of the cost thereof to Lessor as additional
                      rent for that portion of the cost of any maintenance and
                      repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever
                      located) that serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the
                      extent such cost is attributable to causes beyond normal
                      wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of
                      painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to
                      repair or replace any Premises improvements that are not
                      ordinarily a part of the Building or that are above then
                      Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon
                      reasonable notice, elect to have Lessee perform any
                      particular such maintenance or repairs the cost of which
                      is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.

               (b)    On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
                      termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor
                      in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear
                      excepted, clean and free of debris. Any damage or
                      deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary
                      wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by
                      good maintenance practices by Lessee. Lessee shall repair
                      any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation
                      or removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations,
                      furnishings and equipment. Except as otherwise stated in

        7.3    Alterations and Additions.

                      plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring and
                      equipment. At the expiration of the term, Lessor may

                      improvements, additions or Utility Installations,

                      Building Project to their prior condition, at Lessees
                      expense. Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its own
                      alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
                      Installations, Lessee shall use only such contractor as
                      has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor may
                      require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost
                      and expense a lien and completion bond in an amount equal
                      to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such
                      improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for
                      mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure
                      completion of the work. Should Lessee make any
                      alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
                      Installations without the prior approval of Lessor or use
                      a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may,
                      at any time during the term of this Lease, require that

                      plans. If Lessor shall give its consent to Lessee's making
                      such alteration, improvement, addition or Utility
                      Installation, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon
                      Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable
                      governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor
                      prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by
                      Lessee with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and
                      expeditious manner.

               (c)    Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
                      materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to
                      or for Lessee at or for use in the Premises, which claims
                      are or may be secured by any mechanic's or materialmen's
                      lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office
                      Building Project or any interest therein.

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

                      thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor

        12.3   Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

               (a)    Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or
                      subletting shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation
                      hereunder or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay
                      the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including
                      Lessee's Share of Operating Expense increase, and to
                      perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee
                      hereunder.

               (b)    Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
                      pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.

               (c)    Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
                      assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent,
                      shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to
                      exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms
                      or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.

               (d)    If Lessee's obligation under this Lease have been
                      guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or
                      sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not be
                      effective unless said guarantors give their written
                      consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.

               (e)    The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting
                      shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent
                      assignment or subletting by Lessee or to any subsequent or
                      successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee.
                      However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and
                      assignments of the sublease or any amendments or
                      modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone
                      else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining
                      their consent and such action shall not relieve such
                      persons from liability under this Lease or said sublease;
                      however, such persons shall not be responsible to the
                      extent any such amendment or modification enlarges or
                      increases the obligations of the Lessee or sublessee under
                      this Lease or such sublease.

               (f)    In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may
                      proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or anyone
                      else responsible for the performance of this Lease,
                      including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's
                      remedies against any other person or entity responsible
                      therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or
                      Lessee.

               (g)    Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting
                      of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an
                      acknowledgment that

                      no default then exists under this Lease of the obligations
                      to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent be deemed
                      a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
                      otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.

               (h)    The discovery of the fact that any financial statement
                      relied upon by Lessor in giving Its consent to an
                      assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at
                      Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null and
                      void,

        12.4   Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting.
               Regardless of Lessor's consent, the following terms and
               conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any
               part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all
               subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated
               therein;

               (a)    Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
                      Lessee's interest in all rentals and Income arising from
                      any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and
                      Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same
                      toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided,
                      however, that until a default shall occur in the
                      performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease,
                      Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing
                      under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this
                      or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor nor by
                      reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be
                      deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee
                      to perform and comply with any of Lessees obligations to
                      such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby
                      irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
                      upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that
                      a default exists in the performance of Lessee's
                      obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents
                      due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees
                      that such sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any
                      such statement and request from Lessor, and that such
                      sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without an
                      obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default
                      exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from

               exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the
               proposed assignee or sublessee be at least as financially
               responsible as Lessee was expected to be at the time of the

                      material, non-curable defaults without the necessity of
                      any notice by Lessor to Lessee thereof.

                      other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as

                      period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from
                      Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee
                      with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable
                      Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit
                      shall also constitute the notice required by this

               (d)    The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
                      covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be

                      referenced in subparagraphs (b) and (c), above, where such
                      failure shall continue for a period of thirty 130) days
                      after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee;
                      provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
                      noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are
                      reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be
                      deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure
                      within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
                      diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent
                      permitted by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall

                      of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed
                      within sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee
                      or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
                      Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
                      interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored

                      interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
                      discharged within thirty (30) days. In the event that any
                      provision of this paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
                      applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or
                      effect.

                      to Lessor by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by
                      any guarantor of Lessee's obligation hereunder, was
                      materially false.

        13.2   Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this
               Lease by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or
               without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in the
               exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason

                      the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount
                      of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves
                      could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing
                      commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
                      applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

               (b)    Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
                      Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall
                      have vacated or abandoned the Premises. In such event
                      Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's rights
                      and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
                      recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

               (c)    Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
                      Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state

                      due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.

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

        13.4   Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
               Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent. Lessee's Share of Operating
               Expense Increase or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to
               incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
               which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
               include, Out are not limited to processing and accounting
               charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the
               terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Office Building
               Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Operating
               Expense increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be
               received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days
               after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for
               notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal
               to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
               late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
               costs Lessor will incur by reason of late

               payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall
               in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect
               to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of
               the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this

authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that is so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Lessee's business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. if Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense increase shall be reduced In the proportion that the
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises.
Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Lessee and
no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof.
Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as
of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options. in the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

               parties, Lessor shall pay to said brokers jointly, or in such
               separate shares as they may mutually designate in writing, a fee

               forth in a separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s),
               or in the event there is no separate agreement between Lessor and
               said broker(s), the sum of $n/a for brokerage services rendered
               by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.

        (b)    Lessor further agrees that (I) if Lessee exercises any Option, as
               defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to
               Lessee under this Lease, or any subsequently granted option which
               is substantially similar to an Option granted to Lessee under
               this Lease, or (ii) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises
               or other premises described in this Lease which are substantially
               similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
               granted to Lessee been exercised, or (iii) if Lessee remains in
               possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term of
               this Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (iv) if
               said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other lease or sate
               entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises
               and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or
               (v) if the Base Rent Is increased, whether by agreement or
               operation of an escalation clause contained herein, then as to
               any of said transactions or rent increases, Lessor shall pay said
               broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said broker(s)
               in effect at the time of execution of this Lease. Said fee shall
               be paid at the time of such increased rental is determined.

        (c)    Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor but
               also on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other
               entity having an ownership interest in said real property or any
               part thereof, when such fee is due hereunder. Any transferee of
               Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by
               agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed
               Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and
               cooperating broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the
               provisions of this paragraph 15 to the extent of their interest
               In any commission arising under this Lease and may enforce that
               right directly against Lessor; provided, however, that all
               brokers having a right to any part of such total commission shall
               be a necessary party to any suit with respect thereto.

        (d)    Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that
               neither has had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or
               finder (other than the person(s), if any, whose names are set
               forth in paragraph 15(a), above) in connection with the
               negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the
               transaction contemplated hereby, and no other broker or other
               person, firm or entity is entitled to any commission or finder's
               fee in connection with said transaction and Lessee and Lessor do
               each hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from and
               against any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or liability for
               compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed
               broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings
               or actions of the indemnifying party.

               execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party 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) and the date to which the
               rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
               acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's
               knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the requesting
               party, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such
               statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
               purchaser or encumbrancer of the Office Building Project or of
               the business of Lessee.

        (b)    At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
               statement within such time shall be a material default of this
               Lease by the party who is to respond, without any further notice
               to such party, or it shall be conclusive upon such party that (i)
               this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification
               except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii) there
               are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance,
               and (iii) if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one
               month's rent has been paid in advance.

        (c)    If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Office
               Building Project, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to
               deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such
               financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably required by
               such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
               three (3) years' financial statements of Lessee. All such
               financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender
               or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the
               purposes herein set forth.

17. Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor'" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Office Building Project, and except as
expressly provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title
or interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then
the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.

18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.

19. Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear Interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law or judgments from the date due. Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided,
however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee
nor on any amounts upon

                                                            Initials: /s/

which late charges are paid by Lessee.

20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to
be performed under this Lease.

21. Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's Share of Operating
Expense Increase and any other expenses payable by Lessee hereunder shall be
deemed to be rent.

22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mention herein. No prior or
contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall
be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties
in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this
Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in
paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the
Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or
written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use
by Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee acknowledges
that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health
Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof
with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this
Lease.

23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered
mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the
respective parties, as the case may be. Mailed notices shall be deemed given
upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight hours following
deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may
by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except
that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required
or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.

25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for

recording purposes.

26. Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, except that the rent payable
shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the rent payable immediately preceding
the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if any, granted under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no further effect
during said month to month tenancy.

27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

28. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provision of paragraph 17,
this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives, successors
and assign. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State where the
Office Building Project is located and any litigation concerning this Lease
between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the Office
Building Project is located.

30.     Subordination.

        (a)    This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted
               hereby, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
               lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or
               security now or hereafter placed upon the Office Building Project
               and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to
               all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
               extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's
               right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed
               if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the
               rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease,
               unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
               If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have
               this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien of
               its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give
               written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Option
               shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground
               lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or
               subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground
               lease or the date of recording thereof.

        (b)    Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
               attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option
               granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust
               or ground tease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure to execute
               such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall
               constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder without further
               notice to Lessee or. at Lessor's option,

               Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as
               Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute
               and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and
               in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in

        31.1   If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an action to
               enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the
               prevailing party in any such action, trial, or appeal thereon,
               shall be entitled to his reasonable attorneys' fees to be paid by
               the losing party as fixed by the court in the same or separate
               suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or
               judgment. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the
               benefit of the broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right
               hereunder.

        31.2   The attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with
               any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse
               all attorneys' lees reasonably incurred in good faith.

        31.3   Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all
               other costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service
               of notices of default and consultations in connection therewith,
               whether or not a legal transaction is subsequently commenced in
               connection with such default.

32.     Lessor's Access.

        32.1   Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the
               Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the

               same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, taking such
               safety measures, erecting such scaffolding or other necessary
               structures, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
               additions to the Premises or to the Office Building Project as
               Lessor may reasonably deem necessary or-desirable and the
               erecting, using and maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and
               conduits through the Premises and/or other premises as long as
               there is no material adverse effect to Lessee's use of the
               Premises. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises
               or the Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at
               any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof place on or
               about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.

        32.2   All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be
               without abatement of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to
               Lessee for the same.

        32.3   Lessor shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to
               unlock all doors in or upon the Premises other than to files,
               vaults and safes, and in the case of emergency to enter the
               Premises by any reasonably appropriate means, and any such entry
               shall not be deemed a forceable or unlawful entry or detainer of

33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas
without first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to
exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such
consent. The holding 01 any auction on the Premises or Common Areas in violation
of this paragraph shall constitute a material default of this Lease.

Building Project without Lessor's prior consent. Under no circumstances shall
Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Office Building Project.

all of such substenancies.

wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the
other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

               the right of first offer to purchase other property of Lessor.

        39.2   Options Personal. Each Option granted to Lessee in this Lease is
               personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the
               original lessee while occupying the Premises who does so without
               the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the
               Premises or any portion thereof and may not be exercised or be
               assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or
               entity other than Lessee; provided, however, that an Option may
               be exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as defined in
               paragraph 12.2 of this Lease. The Options, if any, herein granted
               to Lessee are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease,
               nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner,
               either by reservation or otherwise.

        39.3   Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
               options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be
               exercised unless the prior option to extend or renew this Lease
               has been so exercised.

        39.4   Effect of Default on Options.

               (a)    Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
                      notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to
                      the contrary, (i) during the time commencing from the date
                      Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default pursuant to
                      paragraph 13.1(c) or 13.1(d) and continuing until the
                      noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured,
                      or (ii) during the period of time commencing on the day
                      after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee
                      and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to
                      Lessee) and continuing until the obligation is paid, or
                      (iii) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee three
                      or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(c), or
                      paragraph 13.1(d), whether or not the defaults are cured,
                      during the 12 month period of time immediately prior to
                      the time that Lessee attempts to exercise the subject
                      Option, (iv) if lessee has committed any non curable
                      breach, including without limitation, these described in
                      paragraph 13.1(b), or is otherwise in default of any of
                      the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

               (b)    The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
                      shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's
                      inability to exercise an Option because of the provisions
                      of paragraph 39.4(a).

               (c)    All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
                      shall terminate and be of no further force or effect,
                      notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely exercise of the
                      Option, if, after such exercise and during the term of
                      this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary
                      obligation of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days
                      after such obligation becomes due (without any necessity
                      of Lessor to give notice to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails
                      to commence to cure a default specified in paragraph
                      13.1(d) within thirty (30) days after the date that Lessor
                      gives notice Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails
                      thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to
                      completion, or (iii) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more
                      notices of

                                                            Initials: /s/

                      default under paragraph 13.1(c) or paragraph 13.1(d),
                      whether or not the defaults are cured, or (iv) if Lessee
                      has committed any non-curable breach, including without
                      limitation, these described in paragraph 13.1(b), or is
                      otherwise in default of any of the terms, covenants and
                      conditions of this Lease. [End of the text that has been

               Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third parties, Nothing
               herein contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole option,
               from providing security protection for the Office Building
               Project or any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof
               shall be included within the definition of Operating Expenses, as
               set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).

        40.2   Lessor shall have the following rights:

               (a)    To change the name, address or title of the Office

                      deem appropriate;

               (c)    To permit any lessee the exclusive right to conduct any
                      business as long as such exclusive does not conflict with
                      any rights expressly given herein;

               (d)    To place such signs, notices or displays as Lessor
                      reasonably deems necessary or advisable upon the roof,

               necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel
               Maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights,
               dedications, Maps and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere
               with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of
               the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure
               to do so shall constitute a material default of this Lease by

have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
