terminated  pursuant to an express  provision of this Lease. All Rent payable by

Tenant, (ii) Tenant's  possessory interest in the Leased Premises,  (iii) any of
the Leased  Premises,  (iv) Landlord as a result of or arising in respect of the

behalf of Lender which is not imposed as of the date hereof, is customarily paid
by tenants or by borrowers  pursuant to then prevailing  mortgage  practices and
which is a substitute  for any ad valorem tax payable on the Leased  Premises or
any portion thereof and (as to this clause (v)) which Landlord has agreed to pay
(collectively,  the "Impositions");  provided,  that nothing in this Lease shall
obligate Tenant to pay (A) income, excess profits or other taxes of Landlord (or
Lender) which are determined on the basis of Landlord's (or Lender's) net income
or net worth,  (B) any  estate,  inheritance,  succession,  gift or similar  tax

penalty, Tenant shall have the option to pay such Imposition in installments; in
such event,  Tenant shall be liable only for those  installments which accrue or
become due and payable  during the Term.  Tenant shall  prepare and file all tax
reports  required by governmental  authorities  which relate to the Impositions.
Tenant  shall  deliver to  Landlord  (1) copies of all  settlements  and notices
pertaining to the Impositions which may be

issued by any governmental authority within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt
thereof,  (2)  receipts  for payment of all taxes  required to be paid by Tenant
hereunder  within  thirty (30) days after the due date  thereof and (3) receipts
for  payment of all other  Impositions  within  ten (10) days  after  Landlord's
request therefor.

                           (b)   Landlord   shall  have  the  right  during  the
occurrence  of an Event of  Default  to  require  Tenant to pay to  Landlord  an
additional  monthly sum (each an "Escrow Payment")  sufficient to pay the Escrow
Charges (as  hereinafter  defined) as they become due. As used  herein,  "Escrow
Charges" shall mean real estate taxes on the Leased Premises or payments in lieu
thereof and premiums on any  insurance  required by this Lease.  Landlord  shall
determine  the amount of the Escrow  Charges  and of each  Escrow  Payment.  The
Escrow  Payments may be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons
and no interest thereon shall be due or payable to Tenant.  Landlord shall apply
the  Escrow  Payments  to the  payment  of the  Escrow  Charges in such order or
priority as Landlord  shall  determine or as required by law. If at any time the
Escrow  Payments  theretofore  paid to Landlord  shall be  insufficient  for the
payment of the Escrow  Charges,  Tenant,  within ten (10) days after  Landlord's
demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Landlord.

                  10.   Compliance   with   Laws   and   Easement    Agreements;
Environmental Matters.

                           (a) Tenant  shall,  at its  expense,  comply with and
conform to, and cause the Leased  Premises  and any other Person  occupying  any
part of the  Leased  Premises  to comply  with and  conform  to,  all  Insurance
Requirements  and Legal  Requirements  (including all  applicable  Environmental
Laws) and shall  maintain  in full force and effect all  permits,  licenses  and
utility  services  required for the use and  occupancy  of the Leased  Premises.
Tenant  shall  not at any  time  (i)  cause,  permit  or  suffer  to  occur  any
Environmental  Violation or (ii) permit any sublessee,  assignee or other Person
occupying the Leased Premises under or through Tenant to cause, permit or suffer
to occur any Environmental Violation.

                           (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will at all
times  promptly  and  faithfully  abide by,  discharge  and  perform  all of the
covenants,  conditions and agreements contained in any Easement Agreement on the
part of Landlord or the  occupier to be kept and  performed  thereunder.  Tenant
will not alter,  modify,  amend or terminate  any Easement  Agreement,  give any
consent  or  approval  thereunder,  or  enter  into any new  Easement  Agreement
without,  in each case,  prior  written  consent of Landlord,  which will not be
unreasonably withheld.

                           (c) Upon prior written notice from  Landlord,  Tenant
shall permit such persons as Landlord may designate ("Site  Reviewers") to visit
the  Leased  Premises  and  perform,   environmental  site   investigations  and
assessments  ("Site  Assessments")  on the Leased  Premises  for the  purpose of
determining  whether  there  exists on the  Leased  Premises  any  Environmental
Violation or any condition  which could result in any  Environmental  Violation.
Such Site  Assessments  may include both above and below the ground  testing for
Environmental  Violations  and  such  other  tests as may be  necessary,  in the
opinion of the Site  Reviewers,  to conduct the Site  Assessments.  Tenant shall
supply  to the  Site  Reviewers  such  historical  and  operational  information
regarding  the  Leased  Premises  as may be  reasonably  requested  by the  Site
Reviewers to  facilitate  the Site  Assessments,  and shall make  available  for
meetings with the Site Reviewers  appropriate personnel having knowledge of such
matters. The cost of performing and reporting any Site Assessment that discloses
an Environmental Violation shall be paid by Tenant.

                           (d) If an Environmental  Violation occurs or is found
to exist and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,  the cost of remediation of the
same is likely to exceed $100,000,  Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after Landlord's request therefor,  adequate financial assurances that
Tenant will effect such remediation in accordance with applicable  Environmental
Laws.

                           (e)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
Lease, if an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist, the Term would
otherwise terminate or expire and Landlord, after good faith efforts, shall have
been unable to relet the Leased Premises solely because of the existence of such
Environmental  Violation,  then,  at the option of  Landlord,  the Term shall be
automatically  extended  beyond the date of  termination  or expiration and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect  beyond such date until the earliest
to occur of (i) the  completion  of remedial  action to the extent  necessary to
make the Leased Premises relettable, (ii) the date specified in a written notice
from Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease or (iii) the date on which Tenant
obtains  a  bona-fide  replacement  tenant  for the  Leased  Premises  on  terms
reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord (and in this regard Landlord and its broker
shall  reasonably  cooperate  with  Tenant with  respect to  Tenant's  marketing
efforts).

                           (f) If Tenant fails to comply with any requirement of
any  Environmental  Law in connection  with any  Environmental  Violation  which
occurs or is found to exist,  Landlord  shall have the right (but no obligation)
to take any and all actions as the Site Reviewers  shall deem necessary in order
to cure such Environmental Violation.

Paragraph 10 and shall  forward to Landlord  immediately  upon  receipt  thereof

HOLDING OR OCCUPYING ANY OF THE LEASED  PREMISES  THROUGH OR UNDER  TENANT,  AND

SHALL  ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE  INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO ANY OF THE LEASED
PREMISES.  LANDLORD  MAY AT ANY TIME POST ANY  NOTICES  ON THE  LEASED  PREMISES
REGARDING SUCH NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.

                           (b) Tenant shall execute, deliver and record, file or
register  (collectively,  "record") all such  instruments  as may be required or
permitted  by any  present or future  Law in order to  evidence  the  respective
interests of Landlord and Tenant in any of the Leased Premises,  and shall cause
a memorandum  of this Lease (or, if such a memorandum  cannot be recorded,  this

the carrier that coverage will be denied or (vi) the enforcement or execution of
any  injunction,  order or  Legal  Requirement  with  respect  to the  Permitted
Violation.  Tenant shall provide Landlord  security which is required by Law or,
if not required, which is satisfactory, in Landlord's reasonable judgment (which
shall  be   based,   among   other   things,   on  an   analysis   of   Tenant's
creditworthiness),  to  assure  that  such  Permitted  Violation  is  corrected,
including all Costs,  interest and penalties  that may be incurred or become due
in  connection   therewith.   While  any  proceedings   which  comply  with  the
requirements of this Paragraph 14 are pending and the required  security is held
by  Landlord,  Landlord  shall  not have  the  right to  correct  any  Permitted
Violation  thereby being contested unless Landlord is required by law to correct
such  Permitted  Violation  and  Tenant's  contest does not prevent or stay such
requirement  as to Landlord.  Each such contest shall be promptly and diligently
prosecuted by Tenant to a final  conclusion,  except that Tenant, so long as the
conditions of this Paragraph 14 are at all times complied with, has the right to
attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations.  Tenant shall
pay any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs in connection with any such
contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully
pay and  discharge  the  amounts  which  shall be levied,  assessed,  charged or
imposed or be  determined  to be payable  therein  or in  connection  therewith,
together with all penalties,  fines, interest and Costs thereof or in connection
therewith,  and  perform all acts the  performance  of which shall be ordered or
decreed as a result thereof.  No such contest shall subject Landlord to the risk
of any civil or criminal liability.

                  15.      Indemnification.

                  (a) Tenant shall pay,  protect,  indemnify,  defend,  save and
hold harmless Landlord, Lender and all other Persons

                                      -22-

described in Paragraph  30 (each an  "Indemnitee")  from and against any and all
liabilities,  losses,  damages (including  punitive damages),  penalties,  Costs
(including attorneys' fees and costs), causes of action, suits, claims,  demands
or judgments of any nature whatsoever,  howsoever caused,  without regard to the
form of  action  and  whether  based  on  strict  liability,  gross  negligence,
negligence or any other theory of recovery at law or in equity, arising from (i)
any matter pertaining to the acquisition (or the negotiations  leading thereto),
ownership, leasing, use, non-use, occupancy, operation,  management,  condition,
design,  construction,  maintenance,  repair or restoration of any of the Leased
Premises  or  Adjoining  Property,  (ii)  any  claim by a third  party  based on
personal  injury or property damage caused by any casualty in any manner arising
from any of the Leased Premises or Adjoining Property, whether or not Indemnitee
has or should have  knowledge  or notice of any defect or  condition  causing or
contributing to said casualty, (iii) any violation by Tenant of any provision of
this Lease,  any contract or  agreement  to which  Tenant is a party,  any Legal
Requirement  or any  Permitted  Encumbrance  or (iv) any alleged,  threatened or
actual Environmental  Violation,  including (A) liability for response costs and
for  costs  of  removal  and  remedial  action  incurred  by the  United  States
Government, any state or local governmental unit or any other Person, or damages
from  injury to or  destruction  or loss of  natural  resources,  including  the
reasonable  costs of  assessing  such  injury,  destruction  or  loss,  incurred
pursuant to Section 107 of CERCLA,  or any successor section or act or provision
of any  similar  state or local Law,  (B)  liability  for costs and  expenses of
abatement,  correction or clean-up,  fines, damages, response costs or penalties

common-law  tort theory,  including  damages  assessed for the  maintenance of a
public  or  private  nuisance  or  for  carrying  on  of a  dangerous  activity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not indemnify (i) any Indemnitee due
to the gross negligence or willful  misconduct of such Indemnitee or its agents,
employees  or  contractors,  (ii)  Landlord  for any  matter  caused  solely  by
Landlord's  breach of this Lease or any document  evidencing  or securing a Loan
(so long as such breach is not caused by Tenant's  breach of this Lease),  (iii)
any Indemnitee with respect to any misrepresentation  made by such Indemnitee or
(iv) any Lender for  non-payment of principal,  interest or penalties due on any
Loan.

                  (b) In case any action or  proceeding  is brought  against any
Indemnitee by reason of any such claim, (i) Tenant may, except in the event of a
conflict of  interest or a dispute  between  Tenant and any such  Indemnitee  or
during the continuance of an Event of Default, retain its own counsel and defend
such action (it being  understood that Landlord may employ counsel of its choice
to

                                      -23-

<PAGE>



monitor  the  defense of any such  action at its cost) and (ii) such  Indemnitee
shall notify  Tenant to resist or defend such action or  proceeding by retaining
counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to such  Indemnitee,  and such Indemnitee will
cooperate  and assist in the defense of such action or  proceeding if reasonably
requested to do so by Tenant.  In the event of a conflict of interest or dispute
or during the continuance of an Event of Default,  Landlord shall have the right
to select counsel, and the cost of such counsel shall be paid by Tenant.

                  (c) The  obligations  of Tenant under this  Paragraph 15 shall
survive any  termination,  expiration  or rejection in  bankruptcy of this Lease
with respect to any indemnified matter,  including any condition,  that existed,
occurred or arose out of a matter or condition that existed or occurred prior to
the date of such termination,  expiration or rejection,  whether or not known or
actionable at such date.

                  16.      Insurance.

                  (a) Tenant  shall  maintain the  following  insurance on or in
connection with the Leased Premises:

                                    (i) (A)   Insurance against physical loss or
damage to the Improvements and Equipment as provided under a standard "All Risk"

long as such insurance is available.  If such  insurance is not  available,  the
amounts of coverage and deductibles  may be reduced or increased,  respectively,
as applicable.

                                    (ii) Commercial general liability  insurance
against  claims  for  personal  and  bodily  injury,  death or  property  damage
occurring on, in or as a result of the use of the Leased Premises,  in an amount
not less than  $10,000,000  per  occurrence/annual  aggregate  including but not
limited to incidental  medical  malpractice,  and all other coverage  extensions
that are usual and  customary for  properties  of this size and type;  provided,
however, that Landlord shall have the right to require such higher

                                      -24-

<PAGE>



limits as may be reasonable and customary for properties of this size and type.

covering all persons  employed by Tenant in connection  with any work done on or
about any of the Leased  Premises for which claims for death,  disease or bodily
injury may be asserted  against  Landlord,  Tenant or any of the Leased Premises
or, in lieu of such worker's compensation insurance, a program of self-insurance
complying with the rules, regulations and requirements of the appropriate agency
of the State or States in which the Leased Premises are located.

                                    (iv) If applicable, comprehensive boiler and

                                    (vi) During any period in which  substantial
Alterations  at any  Related  Premises  are  being  undertaken,  builder's  risk

respect to the  Improvements  being  altered or repaired (on a completed  value,
non-reporting basis), replacement cost of work performed and equipment, supplies
and  materials  furnished  in  connection  with such  construction  or repair of
Improvements or Equipment,  together with such "soft cost" endorsements and such
other  endorsements  as Landlord may reasonably  require and general  liability,
worker's  compensation  and automobile  liability  insurance with respect to the
Improvements being constructed, altered or repaired.

                                    (vii) Such other  insurance  (or other terms
with respect to any insurance  required pursuant to this Paragraph 16 except for
the  earthquake  coverage  described in Paragraph  16(a)(i),  including  without
limitation amounts of coverage,  deductibles and form of mortgagee clause) on or
in  connection  with any of the  Leased  Premises  as  Landlord  or  Lender  may
reasonably  require,  which  at the  time is  usual  and  commonly  obtained  in
connection with properties similar in type of building size, use and location to
the Leased Premises.

<PAGE>



                           (b) The insurance  required by Paragraph  16(a) shall
be written by  companies  which have a Best's  rating of at least A:X  (unless a
lesser  rating is approved by  Landlord)  and are  admitted  in, and approved to
write insurance  policies by, the State  Insurance  Department for the states in
which the Leased  Premises are located.  The insurance  policies (i) shall be on
such  terms as  Landlord  may  reasonably  approve  and (ii) shall be in amounts
sufficient at all times to satisfy any  coinsurance  requirements  thereof.  The
insurance referred to in Paragraphs 16(a)(i), 16(a)(iv) and 16(a)(vi) shall name
Landlord  as Owner and  Lender  as loss  payee and  Tenant as its  interest  may
appear. The insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(ii) shall name Landlord and
Lender as  additional  insureds,  and the  insurance  referred  to in  Paragraph
16(a)(v)  shall name  Landlord as insured and Lender and Landlord as loss payee.
If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire,  be withdrawn,  become void,
voidable,  unreliable  or  unsafe  for any  reason,  including  a breach  of any
condition  thereof by Tenant or the failure or  impairment of the capital of any
insurer,  or if for any other  reason  whatsoever  said  insurance  shall become
reasonably  unsatisfactory to Landlord,  Tenant shall immediately  obtain new or
additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

                           (c) Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i),
(iv), (v) and (vi) of Paragraph  16(a) shall contain  standard  non-contributory
mortgagee clauses in favor of and acceptable to Lender.  Each policy required by
any provision of Paragraph  16(a),  except clause (iii)  thereof,  shall provide
that it may not be  cancelled  except  after  thirty (30) days' prior  notice to
Landlord and Lender. Each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise
payable thereunder shall be payable  notwithstanding  (i) any act or omission of
Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of
all or a part of such  insurance  payment,  (ii) the occupation or use of any of
the Leased  Premises for purposes  more  hazardous  than those  permitted by the
provisions of such policy,  (iii) any  foreclosure or other action or proceeding
taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage,  Note,  Assignment or
other document evidencing or securing the Loan upon the happening of an event of
default therein or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of any of the Leased
Premises.

                           (d) Tenant  shall pay as they become due all premiums
for the  insurance  required by  Paragraph  16(a),  shall renew or replace  each
policy and  deliver to  Landlord  evidence  of the  payment of the full  premium
therefor  or  installment  then  due at  least  thirty  (30)  days  prior to the
expiration  date of such  policy,  and shall  promptly  deliver to Landlord  all
original policies or certified copies thereof.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>




                           (e)  Anything in this  Paragraph  16 to the  contrary
notwithstanding,  any insurance  which Tenant is required to obtain  pursuant to
Paragraph  16(a) may be carried under a "blanket" or umbrella policy or policies
covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such "blanket"
or umbrella  policy or policies  otherwise  comply with the  provisions  of this
Paragraph  16 and  provided  further  that such  policies  shall  provide  for a
reserved  amount  thereunder with respect to the Leased Premises so as to assure
that the amount of  insurance  required by this  Paragraph  16 will be available
notwithstanding  any  losses  with  respect  to other  property  covered by such
blanket  policies.  The amount of the total  insurance  allocated  to the Leased
Premises,  which amount shall be not less than the amounts required  pursuant to
this  Paragraph  16,  shall be  specified  either (i) in each such  "blanket" or
umbrella  policy or (ii) in a written  statement,  which Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, from the insurer thereunder.  The original or a certified copy of each
such "blanket" or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord.

                           (f)  Tenant  shall  have  the  replacement  cost  and
insurable value of the Improvements  and Equipment  determined from time to time
as required by the  replacement  cost and agreed amount  endorsements  and shall
deliver to Landlord the new  replacement  cost and agreed amount  endorsement or
certificate evidencing such endorsement promptly upon Tenant's receipt thereof.

                           (g) Tenant shall promptly  comply with and conform to
(i) all  provisions of each insurance  policy  required by this Paragraph 16 and
(ii) all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord,  Tenant
or any  of  the  Leased  Premises  or to the  use,  manner  of  use,  occupancy,
possession,  operation,  maintenance,  alteration or repair of any of the Leased
Premises,  even  if such  compliance  necessitates  Alterations  or  results  in
interference with the use or enjoyment of any of the Leased Premises.

                           (h)  Tenant  shall  not  carry   separate   insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required
in this  Paragraph 16 unless (i)  Landlord  and Lender are  included  therein as
named  insureds,  with loss payable as provided  herein,  and (ii) such separate
insurance  complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall
immediately  notify  Landlord of such  separate  insurance  and shall deliver to
Landlord the original policies or certified copies thereof.

                           (i) All policies shall contain  effective  waivers by
the carrier against all claims for insurance premiums against

                                      -27-

<PAGE>



Landlord and shall contain full waivers of subrogation against Landlord.

                           (j) All  proceeds  of any  insurance  required  under
Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable as follows:

                                    (i) Except for proceeds  payable to a Person
other than Landlord,  Tenant or Lender, all proceeds of insurance required under
clauses  (ii),  (iii),  (iv),  (v) and (vii) of  Paragraph  16(a)  and  proceeds
attributable  to the general  liability  coverage  provisions of Builder's  Risk
insurance under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable to Escrow Holder
or, if required by the Mortgage,  to Lender who shall apply such proceeds to the
Persons legally  entitled thereto for the benefit of the named insureds as their
interests appear.

                                    (ii)  Proceeds of insurance  required  under
clause (i) of  Paragraph  16(a) and  proceeds  attributable  to  Builder's  Risk
insurance (other than its general  liability  coverage  provisions) under clause
(vi) of  Paragraph  16(a)  shall be payable to Escrow  Holder  (or  Lender)  and
applied as set forth in Paragraph 17 or Paragraph 18, as  applicable.  If Tenant
is obligated to restore the Leased  Premises,  then Escrow Holder or Lender,  as
the case may be, shall make the proceeds  available to Tenant in accordance with
the  applicable  provisions  hereof  and  Tenant  shall  apply  the Net Award to
restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable  provisions
of this Lease.

                                    (iii) Each insurer is hereby  authorized and
directed to make payment  under said  policies  directly to Escrow Holder or, if
required by the Mortgage,  to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant  jointly,
and  Tenant  hereby  appoints  each of Escrow  Holder  and  Lender  as  Tenant's
attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor.

                  17.      Casualty and Condemnation.

                           (a)  If  any  Casualty  to  either  Related  Premises
occurs,  Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender immediate notice thereof. So long
as no  Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing  Tenant  is  hereby
authorized  to  adjust,  collect  and  compromise  all  claims  under any of the
insurance   policies  required  by  Paragraph  16(a)  (except  public  liability
insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant,  Landlord or Lender) and
to execute  and  deliver on behalf of  Landlord  all  necessary  proofs of loss,
receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have
the right to join with  Tenant  therein.  Any final  adjustment,  settlement  or
compromise of any such claim shall

                                      -28-

<PAGE>



be  subject  to the prior  written  approval  of  Landlord,  which  shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Landlord shall have the right to prosecute
or  contest,  or to require  Tenant to  prosecute  or  contest,  any such claim,
adjustment, settlement or compromise. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing,  Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust,  collect or compromise  any
such claim or to  participate  with Landlord in any  adjustment,  collection and
compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees
to sign,  upon the  request  of  Landlord,  all such  proofs of loss,  receipts,
vouchers and releases.  The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph  17(a) shall
be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.

                           (b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation
Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is  continuing,  Tenant is  authorized  to collect,  settle and
compromise the amount of any Net Award and Landlord shall have the right to join
with Tenant  herein.  If an Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,
Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any
Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to  participate  with Landlord in any
Condemnation  proceeding or negotiations  under threat thereof or to contest the
Condemnation  or the amount of the Net Award  therefor.  No  agreement  with any
condemnor in  settlement  or under threat of any  Condemnation  shall be made by
Tenant without the written consent of Landlord,  which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  Subject to the  provisions  of this  Paragraph  17(b),  Tenant hereby
irrevocably  assigns to Landlord  any award or payment to which Tenant is or may
be  entitled  by reason of any  Condemnation,  whether the same shall be paid or
payable for Tenant's leasehold  interest hereunder or otherwise;  but nothing in
this Lease  shall  impair  Tenant's  right to any award or payment on account of
Tenant's trade fixtures,  equipment or other tangible property which is not part
of the  Equipment,  moving  expenses or loss of business,  if available,  to the
extent  that and so long as (i) Tenant  shall  have the right to make,  and does
make, a separate claim  therefor  against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does
not in any way  reduce  either  the  amount of the award  otherwise  payable  to
Landlord for the  Condemnation of Landlord's fee interest in the Leased Premises
or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise  payable for the  Condemnation  of
Tenant's  leasehold  interest  hereunder.  The  rights of  Landlord  under  this
Paragraph  17(b)  shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any
Mortgage so provides.

                           (c) If any Partial  Casualty  (whether or not insured
against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur to any Related Premises, this Lease
shall continue,  notwithstanding  such event, and there shall be no abatement or
reduction of any Monetary

                                      -29-

<PAGE>



Obligations,  except to the extent of proceeds  received  by  Landlord  from the
insurance  described in Paragraph  16(a)(v) hereof.  Promptly after such Partial
Casualty or Partial Condemnation,  Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall
commence  and  diligently  continue to restore the Leased  Premises as nearly as
possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event
(assuming  the Leased  Premises to have been in the  condition  required by this
Lease).  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  any Net
Award up to and including  $250,000 shall be paid by Escrow Holder to Tenant and
Tenant shall restore the Leased Premises in accordance with the  requirements of
Paragraph 13(b) of this Lease. Any Net Award in excess of $250,000 shall (unless
such  Casualty  resulting  in the Net  Award  is a  Termination  Event)  be made
available  by Escrow  Holder (or Lender if the terms of the Mortgage so require)
to Tenant for the restoration of any of the Leased  Premises  pursuant to and in
accordance  with and subject to the  provisions  of Paragraph 19 hereof.  If any
Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation
shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.

                  18.      Termination Events.

                           (a) If (i) all of either  Related  Premises  shall be
taken by a Taking or (ii)(A) any substantial  portion of either Related Premises
shall be taken by a Taking or (B) all or any portion of either Related  Premises
shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty and (1) as to such  Casualty  Tenant
shall  provide  evidence  satisfactory  to Landlord  and Lender that it shall be
unable to rebuild  such  Related  Premises by the  beginning  of the ninth (9th)
calendar  month  following  the date of such Casualty or (2) the Casualty was an
earthquake  or the  insurer is  insolvent  so that  proceeds  (exclusive  of the
required  deductible)  sufficient  to  rebuild  such  Related  Premises  are not
available and, in any such case, Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that
it will forever abandon operations at the Related Premises,  (either one or both
of the Related Premises  described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) above being
hereinafter  referred  to as the  "Affected  Premises"  and  each of the  events
described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) shall  hereinafter be referred to as
a  "Termination  Event"),  then (x) in the case of (i)  above,  Tenant  shall be
obligated,  within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation  Notice
and (y) in the case of (ii) above,  Tenant shall have the option,  within thirty
(30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation  Notice or thirty (30) days after
the  Casualty,  as the  case  may be,  to give to  Landlord  written  notice  (a
"Termination  Notice") of Tenant's  election to  terminate  this Lease as to the
Affected Premises in the form described in Paragraph 18(b).


                                      -30-

<PAGE>



                           (b) A Termination  Notice shall contain (i) notice of
Tenant's  intention to terminate  this Lease as to the Affected  Premises on the
first Basic Rent  Payment  Date which  occurs at least sixty (60) days after the
date of the  Termination  Notice (the  "Termination  Date"),  (ii) a binding and
irrevocable  offer of  Tenant  to pay the  Termination  Amount  and (iii) if the
Termination   Event  is  an  event   described  in  Paragraph   18(a)(ii),   the
certification and covenant  described therein and a certified  resolution of the
Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same.

                           (c) If Landlord  shall reject such offer to terminate
this  Lease  as to  the  Affected  Premises  by  written  notice  to  Tenant  (a
"Rejection"),  which Rejection shall contain the written consent of Lender,  not
later than forty-five (45) days following the receipt of the Termination Notice,
then this Lease shall  terminate as to the Affected  Premises on the Termination
Date; provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary  Obligations as to
the Affected Property (collectively, "Remaining Obligations") on or prior to the
Termination  Date,  then Landlord  may, at its option,  extend the date on which
this Lease may terminate as to the Affected Premises to a date which is no later
than the first  Basic  Rent  Payment  Date after the  Termination  Date on which
Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations;  provided,  however, the parties
acknowledge that if the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 18(c) the
Tenant has no obligation to repair or restore any damage to the Leased Premises.
Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder as to the Affected
Premises shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant shall
immediately  vacate and shall have no further right,  title or interest in or to
any of the  Affected  Premises  and  (iii) the Net Award  shall be  retained  by
Landlord.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary hereinabove  contained,  if
Tenant  shall have  received a Rejection  and, on the date when this Lease would
otherwise terminate as provided above, Landlord shall not have received the full
amount of the Net Award payable by reason of the applicable  Termination  Event,
then  the date on  which  this  Lease  is to  terminate  automatically  shall be
extended to the first Basic Rent  Payment  Date after the receipt by Landlord of
the full amount of the Net Award; provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all
Remaining Obligations on such date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the
date on which this Lease  shall  terminate  to a date which is no later than the
first Basic Rent Payment Date after such date on which Tenant has  satisfied all
such Remaining Obligations.

                           (d) Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not
later than the  forty-fifth  (45th) day following the receipt of the Termination
Notice,  Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer. If
such offer is accepted by Landlord

                                      -31-

then,  on the  Termination  Date,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the  Termination
Amount and all Remaining Obligations and, if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall
convey to Tenant or its designee the Affected  Premises or the remaining portion
thereof, if any, all in accordance with Paragraph 20.

                           (e) In the event of the  termination of this Lease as
to the Affected  Premises as  hereinabove  provided,  this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect as to the  Remaining  Premises;  provided,  that the Basic
Rent for the Remaining  Premises to be paid after such termination  shall be the
Basic Rent  otherwise  payable  hereunder  with  respect to the Leased  Premises
multiplied by a percentage  equal to the percentage set forth on Exhibit "F" for
the Remaining Premises.

                  19.      Restoration.

                           (a)  Escrow  Holder  (or  Lender if  required  by any
Mortgage)  shall  hold any Net  Award  in  excess  of  $250,000  in a fund  (the
"Restoration  Fund") and  disburse  amounts  from the  Restoration  Fund only in
accordance with the following conditions:

                                    (i) prior to  commencement  of  restoration,
(A) the architects,  general construction contract, general contractor and plans
and  specifications  for the  restoration  shall have been approved by Landlord,
such approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, (B) Landlord and Lender shall be
provided with  mechanics'  lien  insurance (if available)  and  performance  and
payment  bonds  reasonably  acceptable  to Landlord  which  insure  satisfactory
completion  of and  payment for the  restoration,  are in an amount and form and
have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender as additional
dual obligees, and (C) appropriate waivers of mechanics' and materialmen's liens
shall have been filed;

                                    (ii)  at the  time of any  disbursement,  no
Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have
been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;

                                    (iii)  disbursements shall be made from time
to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last
disbursement,  upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence,  including architects'
certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion
and  performance  of the  work to  date  in a good  and  workmanlike  manner  in
accordance with the contracts,  plans and specifications,  (B) waivers of liens,
(C) contractors' and  subcontractors'  sworn statements as to completed work and
the cost thereof for which payment is requested,

                                      -32-

<PAGE>



(D) a satisfactory  bringdown of title  insurance and (E) other evidence of cost
and payment so that  Landlord  and Lender can verify that the amounts  disbursed
from time to time are  represented by work that is completed,  in place and free
and clear of mechanics' and materialmen's lien claims;

                                    (iv) each request for disbursement  shall be
accompanied  by a  certificate  of  Tenant,  signed by the  president  or a vice
president of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating
the  cost  incurred  in  connection  therewith,  stating  that  Tenant  has  not
previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also
stating that the work has been fully  completed and complies with the applicable
requirements of this Lease;

                                    (v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of
the Restoration Fund until the restoration is fully completed;

                                    (vi)  the  Restoration  Fund  shall  not  be
commingled  with other  funds and shall bear  interest at the short term rate of
interest then  generally  available from Lender or through Escrow Agent for such
escrow arrangements; and

                                    (vii) such other  reasonable  conditions  as
Lender may impose.

                           (b) Prior to  commencement  of restoration and at any
time during  restoration,  if the estimated cost of completing  the  restoration
work free and clear of all liens, as determined by Landlord,  exceeds the amount
of the Net Award  available  for such  restoration,  the  amount of such  excess
shall,  upon demand by Landlord,  be paid by Tenant to Escrow Holder to be added
to the  Restoration  Fund.  Any sum so  added by  Tenant  which  remains  in the
Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For
purposes of determining  the source of funds with respect to the  disposition of
funds  remaining  after the  completion of  restoration,  the Net Award shall be
deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

                           (c) If any sum remains in the Restoration  Fund after
completion  of the  restoration  and any refund to Tenant  pursuant to Paragraph
19(b),  such sum shall be  retained  by  Landlord  or, if  required by a Note or
Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender.

                  20.      Procedures Upon Purchase.

                           (a)  If the  Leased  Premises  or any of the  Related
Premises are purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this

                                      -33-

<PAGE>



Lease,  Landlord  need not convey any better  title  thereto than that which was
conveyed  to  Landlord,  and Tenant or its  designee  shall  accept  such title,
subject,  however,  to  the  Permitted  Encumbrances  and to  all  other  liens,
exceptions  and  restrictions  on,  against  or  relating  to any of the  Leased
Premises or the applicable Related Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free
of the lien of and security  interest  created by any Mortgage or Assignment and
liens,  exceptions  and  restrictions  on,  against  or  relating  to the Leased
Premises  or the  applicable  Related  Premises  which  have been  created by or
resulted  solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease,  unless the
same are Permitted  Encumbrances or customary utility  easements  benefiting the
Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of
a default by Tenant under this Lease.

                           (b) Upon the date fixed for any such  purchase of the
Leased Premises or any of the Related Premises pursuant to any provision of this
Lease (any such date the "Purchase Date"),  Tenant shall pay to Landlord,  or to
any Person to whom  Landlord  directs  payment,  the  Relevant  Amount  therefor
specified  herein,  in Federal Funds,  less any credit of the Net Award received
and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed  against the Relevant  Amount,  and
Landlord  shall deliver to Tenant (i) a Grant Deed which  describes the premises
being  conveyed and conveys the title  thereto as provided in  Paragraph  20(a),
(ii) such other  instruments  as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its
designee  any other  property  (or rights to any Net Award not yet  received  by
Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to
this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord,  not credited to Tenant
against the  Relevant  Amount and required to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant
pursuant  to this  Lease;  provided,  that if any  Monetary  Obligations  remain
outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount
of such Monetary  Obligations.  If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations
remain  outstanding  and no Net Award is  payable to Tenant by  Landlord  or the
amount of such Net Award is less than the  amount of the  Monetary  Obligations,
then  Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord  on the  Purchase  Date the  amount of such
Monetary Obligations.  Upon the completion of such purchase,  this Lease and all
obligations and  liabilities of Tenant  hereunder with respect to the applicable
Related  Premises  (but  not  with  respect  to the  Remaining  Premises)  shall
terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.

                           (c) If the  completion  of  such  purchase  shall  be
delayed after (i) the Termination  Date, in the event of a purchase  pursuant to
Paragraph 18, or (ii) the date  scheduled for such  purchase,  in the event of a
purchase under any other  provision of this Lease,  then (x) Rent shall continue
to be due and payable

                                      -34-

<PAGE>



until completion of such purchase and (y) at Landlord's sole option, Fair Market
Value shall be  redetermined  and the Relevant Amount payable by Tenant pursuant
to the  applicable  provision  of this Lease shall be  adjusted to reflect  such
redetermination.

                           (d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord
shall be prorated as of the Purchase  Date, and the prorated  unapplied  balance
shall be deducted from the Relevant  Amount due to Landlord;  provided,  that no
apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.

                  21. Assignment and Subletting;  Prohibition  against Leasehold
Financing.

                           (a) (i) Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender, with no consent of Landlord or
Lender being  required or necessary  ("Preapproved  Assignment")  to assign this
Lease (A) as  specifically  permitted  in Section 1 of Exhibit "G" or (B) to any
Person  that,  immediately  following  such  assignment  has a  publicly  traded
unsecured senior debt rating of "BBB" or better from Moody's Investors Services,
Inc. or a rating of "Baa" or better from Standard & Poor's  Corporation,  and in
the event all of such rating  agencies  cease to furnish  such  ratings,  then a
comparable  rating by any rating  agency  reasonably  acceptable to Landlord and
Lender.

                           (ii)  Any  assignment  of  this  Lease  except  for a
Preapproved  Assignment  shall require the prior written consent of Landlord and
Lender.  Tenant shall, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which
it desires to make an  assignment,  submit to  Landlord  and Lender  information
regarding  the  following  with respect to the assignee  (the  "Criteria"):  (i)
credit, (ii) capital structure,  (iii) management,  (iv) operating history,  (v)
proposed use of the Leased  Premises and (vi) risk factors  associated  with the
proposed  use of the Leased  Premises  by the  proposed  assignee,  taking  into
account factors such as environmental concerns,  product liability and the like.
Landlord and Lender shall review the  Criteria,  advise Tenant no later than the
fifteenth (15th) day following receipt of the Criteria if additional information
is  required  and shall  approve or  disapprove  the  assignee no later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all required information, and Landlord
and Lender shall be deemed to have acted  reasonably in granting or  withholding
consent if such grant or  disapproval  is based on their review of the Criteria.
Any  purported  assignment  that is not a  Preapproved  Assignment  or otherwise
consented to under this Paragraph 21(a) shall be null and void.


                                      -35-

<PAGE>



                           (b) Tenant  shall have the right,  without  obtaining
the consent of Landlord,  to have under sublease at any time up to and including
but not in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the net leaseable space in the
Leased  Premises.  Any sublease that,  when added to all other subleases then in
effect,  would result in more than  twenty-five  percent  (25%) of the leaseable
area of the Leased  Premises  being under sublease at any one time shall require
the  prior  written   approval  of  Landlord  and  Lender  which  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld.

                           (c) If Tenant  assigns  all its rights  and  interest
under this Lease,  the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all
the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations
of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a
written  instrument  delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment.  Each
sublease of any of the Related  Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the
provisions  of this Lease and shall be for a term that expires no later than one
(1) day prior to the  expiration of the Term.  No  assignment or sublease  shall
affect or  reduce  any of the  obligations  of  Tenant  hereunder,  and all such
obligations  shall  continue  in full  force  and  effect  as  obligations  of a
principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease
had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations
on Landlord under this Lease.

                           (d)  Tenant  shall,  within  ten (10) days  after the
execution  and  delivery  of any  assignment  or  sublease,  deliver a duplicate
original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be
in recordable form.

                           (e) As security for  performance  of its  obligations
under this Lease,  Tenant  hereby  grants,  conveys and assigns to Landlord  all
right,  title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or
hereafter  entered  into  for  any or all of the  Leased  Premises,  any and all
extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits
therefrom.  Landlord  hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all
rents and other sums of money  payable  under any  sublease of any of the Leased
Premises,  provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any
time  following the occurrence of an Event of Default to revoke said license and
to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same. Tenant shall not
consent to, cause or allow any  modification  or alteration of any of the terms,
conditions  or covenants of any of the  subleases  or the  termination  thereof,
without the prior  written  approval of Landlord,  which  approval  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld,  nor shall Tenant accept any rents more than thirty (30)
days in advance of the accrual  thereof  nor do nor permit  anything to be done,
the doing of

                                      -36-

<PAGE>



which, nor omit or refrain from doing anything,  the omission of which,  will or
could be a breach of or default in the terms of any of the subleases.

                           (f)  Tenant  shall  not have the  power to  mortgage,
pledge or otherwise  encumber  its interest  under this Lease or any sublease of
any of the Related Premises,  and any such mortgage,  pledge or encumbrance made
in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void.

                           (g) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 36 hereof,
Landlord may sell or transfer the Leased  Premises at any time without  Tenant's
consent to any third party (each a "Third Party Purchaser"). In the event of any
such transfer,  Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party  Purchaser as Landlord so
long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such
transfer and the Third Party  Purchaser  agrees to be bound by the terms of this
Lease  applicable to Landlord.  At the request of Landlord,  Tenant will execute
such  documents  confirming  the  agreement  referred  to above  and such  other
agreements as Landlord may reasonably request,  provided that such agreements do
not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

                  22.      Events of Default.

                           (a)  The  occurrence  of  any  one  or  more  of  the
following  (after  expiration  of any  applicable  cure  period as  provided  in
Paragraph 22(b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord,  constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Lease:

                                    (i) a failure by Tenant to make any  payment
of any Monetary Obligation, regardless of the reason for such failure;

                                    (ii) a failure by Tenant duly to perform and
observe,  or a violation or breach of, any other provision  hereof not otherwise
specifically mentioned in this Paragraph 22(a);

                                    (iii) any representation or warranty made by
Tenant  herein or in any  certificate,  demand or request made  pursuant  hereto
proves to be incorrect, now or hereafter, in any material respect;

                                    (iv)  Tenant   shall  (A)   voluntarily   be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (B) seek or consent to the appointment of a
receiver or trustee for itself or for any of the  Related  Premises,  (C) file a
petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United
States,  any state or any  jurisdiction,  (D) make a general  assignment for the
benefit of

                                      -37-

<PAGE>



creditors,  or (E)  admit in  writing  its  inability  to pay its  debts as they
mature;

                                    (v) a court shall  enter an order,  judgment
or decree  appointing,  without the consent of Tenant, a receiver or trustee for
it or for any of the Related  Premises or  approving  a petition  filed  against
Tenant  which seeks  relief under the  bankruptcy  or other  similar laws of the
United States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree
shall remain undischarged or unstayed sixty (60) days after it is entered;

                                    (vi) either or both of the Related  Premises
shall have been  vacated for a period of more than one (1) year and Tenant shall
fail to make the Vacation Offer or either or both of the Related  Premises shall
have been abandoned;

                                    (vii)   Tenant   shall  be   liquidated   or
dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;

                                    (viii) the estate or  interest  of Tenant in
any of the Related  Premises  shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding
and such estate or interest is about to be sold or  transferred  or such process
shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made;

                                    (ix) a  failure  by  Tenant  to  perform  or
observe,  or a violation or breach of, or a  misrepresentation  by Tenant under,
any provision of any Assignment or any other written document between Tenant and
Lender or specifically for the benefit of Lender that is executed by Tenant,  if
such failure,  violation,  breach or  misrepresentation  gives rise to a default
beyond  any  applicable  cure  period  with  respect  to any Loan and the Lender
commences to exercise its remedies  under the documents  evidencing and securing
such Loan;

                                    (x) a  failure  by  Tenant  to  maintain  in
effect any license or permit  necessary  for the use,  occupancy or operation of
either of the Related Premises; or

                                    (xi) The breach of any Covenant shall occur.

                           (b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any
one or more of the following  events:  (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default
under clause (i) (except as otherwise set forth below),  (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) of Paragraph 22(a); (B) the default consists of
a failure to provide any  insurance  required by  Paragraph  16(a)(i) or (a)(iv)
that does not substantially comply with the requirements thereof or an

                                      -38-

<PAGE>



assignment  or sublease  entered into in  violation of Paragraph  21; or (C) the
default is such that any delay in the  exercise  of a remedy by  Landlord  could
reasonably be expected to cause material and  irreparable  harm to Landlord.  If
the default consists of the failure to pay any Monetary  Obligation under clause
(i) of Paragraph  22(a), the applicable cure period shall be three (3) days from
the date on which notice is given,  but Landlord  shall not be obligated to give
notice of, or allow any cure  period  for,  any  default in the payment of Basic
Rent more than one (1) time within any consecutive  twelve (12) month period. If
the default  consists of a default under clause (ii) or (x) of Paragraph  22(a),
other than the events  specified in clauses (B) and (C) of the first sentence of
this Paragraph  22(b), the applicable cure period shall be twenty (20) days from
the date on which notice is given or, if the default cannot be cured within such
twenty (20) day period and delay in the exercise of a remedy would not cause any
material adverse harm to Landlord or any of the Leased Premises, the cure period
shall be extended  for the period  required  to cure the default  (but such cure
period,  including any extension,  shall not in the aggregate exceed one hundred
twenty (120)  days),  provided  that Tenant  shall  commence to cure the default
within the said  twenty-day  period and shall  actively,  diligently and in good
faith  proceed  with and  continue  the curing of the default  until it shall be
fully cured.  The notices  described in this Paragraph  22(b) are in lieu of and
not in addition to the notice under California Civil Code 1161.

                  23.      Remedies and Damages Upon Default.

                           (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing,  Landlord shall have the right,  at its sole option,  then or at any
time thereafter,  to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in
accordance  with this  Paragraph 23,  subject in all events to  applicable  Law,
without  demand  upon or notice  to  Tenant  except  as  otherwise  provided  in
Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23.

                                    (i)  Landlord  may  give  Tenant  notice  of
Landlord's  intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice
and upon such date,  this  Lease,  the estate  hereby  granted and all rights of
Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate,  provided,  that if and only if the
Event of Default that gave rise to such notice is the failure to pay Rent as and
when due such  termination  shall be of no force and effect if Tenant cures such
Event of  Default  within  three (3) days  after  receipt  of such  notice  from
Landlord. Upon such termination,  Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver
possession of the Leased  Premises to Landlord in accordance  with Paragraph 26.
If Tenant  does not so  surrender  and deliver  possession  of all of the Leased
Premises,

                                      -39-

<PAGE>



Landlord may repossess any of the Leased  Premises not  surrendered,  with legal
process,  by  summary  proceedings,  ejectment  or any  other  lawful  means  or
procedure.  Upon or at any time  after  taking  possession  of any of the Leased
Premises,  Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons
or property therefrom.  Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of
any  such  entry,  repossession  or  removal.   Notwithstanding  such  entry  or
repossession, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(c).

                                    (ii) After repossession of any of the Leased
Premises  pursuant to clause (i) above,  Landlord  shall have the right to relet
any of the Leased  Premises to such  tenant or tenants,  for such term or terms,
for such rent,  on such  conditions  and for such uses as  Landlord  in its sole
discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of
such  reletting.  Landlord may make such  Alterations  in  connection  with such
reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding  any
such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(c).

                           (b) In addition to its other rights under this Lease,
Landlord has the remedy  described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 which
provides  substantially  as follows:  Landlord  may continue the Lease in effect
after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover the Rent as it becomes due, if
Tenant  has  the  right  to  sublet  or  assign,   subject  only  to  reasonable
limitations.  In accordance  with  California  Civil Code Section 1951.4 (or any
successor  statute),  Tenant acknowledges that in the event Tenant breaches this
Lease and abandons the Leased Premises,  this Lease shall continue in effect for
so long as  Landlord  does  not  terminate  Tenant's  right to  possession,  and
Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease,  including
the right to  recover  the Rent as it  becomes  due  under  this  Lease.  Tenant
acknowledges  that the  limitations  on subletting  and  assignment set forth in
Paragraph 21 are  reasonable.  Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to
relet the Leased  Premises or the  appointment of a receiver upon  initiative of
Landlord to protect Landlord's  interest under this Lease shall not constitute a
termination of Tenant's right to possession.

                           (c) If Landlord  elects to terminate  this Lease upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Landlord may collect from Tenant damages
computed in accordance  with the following  provisions in addition to Landlord's
other remedies under this Lease:

                                    (i) the  worth  at the  time of award of any
unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

                                      -40-

<PAGE>




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

                                    (iii)  the worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the  unpaid  Rent for the  balance of the Term after the time of
award  exceeds  the  amount of such  rental  loss that  Tenant  proves  could be
reasonably avoided; plus

                                    (iv) any other  reasonable cost necessary to
compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure
to perform its  obligations  under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of
things  would be likely  to  result  therefrom  including,  without  limitation,
brokerage  commissions,  the cost of repairing and reletting the Leased Premises
and reasonable attorneys' fees; plus

                                    (v)  at  Landlord's  election,   such  other
amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time
to time by applicable  state law. Damages shall be due and payable from the date
of termination.

                  For  purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this  Paragraph,  the
"worth at the time of award" shall be computed by adding interest at the Default
Rate to the past due Rent.  For the purposes of clause  (iii) of this  Paragraph
23(c),  the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by  discounting  such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal  Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of the award, plus one percent (1%).

                           (d) Landlord  shall be entitled to apply the Security
Deposit to any amounts due under Paragraph 23(a) or 23(c) if this Lease shall be
terminated,  or, if this Lease  shall  remain in full force and  effect,  to any
amounts due under Paragraph 23(b) and in either event in the following order (i)
to past due Basic Rent and (ii) to cure any other monetary Event of Default.

                           (e)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein
contained,  in lieu  of or in  addition  to any of the  foregoing  remedies  and
damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to
it at law or in  equity.  If  Landlord  is unable to  obtain  full  satisfaction
pursuant to the exercise of any remedy,  it may pursue any other remedy which it
has hereunder or at law or in equity.

                           (f) If any Law shall  validly limit the amount of any
damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to
herein,  Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount  available  under such
Law.

                           (g) No  termination  of this Lease,  repossession  or
reletting of any of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of
any damages  pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving
Obligations.

                           (h) WITH  RESPECT  TO ANY  REMEDY  OR  PROCEEDING  OF
LANDLORD  HEREUNDER,  LANDLORD  AND  TENANT  WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
Landlord  and  Tenant  agree that this Lease  constitutes  a written  consent to
waiver of trial by jury pursuant to the  provisions of California  Code of Civil
Procedure  Section  631,  and each of Landlord and Tenant does appoint the other
Person as its true and lawful  attorney-in-fact,  which  appointment  is coupled
with an interest, and does hereby authorize and empower the other Person, in its
name,  place  and  stead,  to file  this  Lease  with the  clerk of any court of
competent jurisdiction as statutory written consent to waiver of trial by jury.

                           (i)  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of
Tenant  hereunder  and, if  performance of such act requires that Landlord enter
the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.

                           (j) No failure of Landlord  (i) to insist at any time
upon the strict  performance  of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise
any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as
a waiver,  modification or relinquishment  thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any
sum in satisfaction  of any Monetary  Obligation with knowledge of the breach of
any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach,  and no waiver
by Landlord  of any  provision  hereof  shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

                           (k) Tenant hereby waives and  surrenders,  for itself
and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right
and  privilege  which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law
to redeem  any of the Leased  Premises  or to have a  continuance  of this Lease
after  termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of occupancy or possession
pursuant to any court order or any  provision  hereof if the Event of Default is
an Event  of  Default  under  Paragraph  22(a)(iv)  or  22(a)(xi),  and (ii) the
benefits of any present or future Law which exempts  property from liability for
debt or for distress for rent.

                                      -42-

<PAGE>




                           (l) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies
are  cumulative  and  concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.
Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing  and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted
by any exercise thereof.

                           (m) If an Event of Default  exists,  then  within ten
(10) days following the notice from Landlord that Landlord is exercising any one
or more remedies under this  Paragraph 23, Tenant shall have the right,  but not
the obligation,  to make an offer (the "Default Offer"), which if made, shall be
irrevocable,  to  terminate  this Lease upon  payment to Landlord of the Default
Termination Amount; provided, however, that unless and until the Floor Amount is
deposited in a third party escrow in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Paragraph  20,  Landlord  shall have the right to proceed to exercise any one or
more of its remedies under this Paragraph 23. Within ten (10) days following the
Default Offer Tenant shall  deposit in a third party escrow in  accordance  with
the  procedures  set  forth in  Paragraph  20 as  payment  against  the  Default
Termination  Amount,  the sum of the Floor Amount and the applicable  Prepayment
Premium and Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence to determine Fair Market
Value.  Within fifteen (15) days after the  determination  of Fair Market Value,
Landlord  shall  accept or reject the Default  Offer.  If  Landlord  accepts the
Default  Offer then,  no later than the tenth (10th) day after such  acceptance,
Tenant  shall pay to Landlord the  balance,  if any, of the Default  Termination
Amount and,  at the request of Tenant,  Landlord  will  concurrently  convey the
Leased  Premises to Tenant or its designee in accordance  with  Paragraph 20. If
Landlord shall reject the Default Offer,  which rejection must be accompanied by
the written  consent of Lender,  the Lease shall remain in full force and effect
and the specific  Event of Default that gave rise to the Default  Offer shall be
deemed waived by Landlord and Lender, unless the Event of Default that gave rise
to the Default  Offer is the failure to pay any  Monetary  Obligation,  in which
event if Landlord  rejects the Default  Offer  Landlord  shall have the right to
pursue  its  remedies   under  this  Paragraph  23  except  for  the  remedy  of
termination.

                  24.  Notices.  All  notices,  demands,   requests,   consents,
approvals,  offers,  statements and other instruments or communications required
or permitted to be given  pursuant to the  provisions  of this Lease shall be in
writing  and shall be deemed to have been given and  received  for all  purposes
when  delivered  in person  or by  Federal  Express  or other  reliable  24-hour
delivery  service or five (5) business days after being  deposited in the United
States mail, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,  postage
prepaid, addressed to the other party at its

                                      -43-

<PAGE>



address stated above or when delivery is refused.  A copy of any notice given by
Tenant to Landlord shall  simultaneously be given by Tenant to Reed Smith Shaw &
McClay, 2500 One Liberty Place,  Philadelphia,  PA 19103,  Attention:  Chairman,
Real  Estate  Department.  For the  purposes  of this  Paragraph,  any party may
substitute  another address stated above (or  substituted by a previous  notice)
for its address by giving  fifteen  (15) days'  notice of the new address to the
other party, in the manner provided above.

                  25. Estoppel  Certificate.  At any time upon not less than ten
(10) days' prior written request by either  Landlord or Tenant (the  "Requesting
Party") to the other party (the "Responding  Party"), the Responding Party shall
deliver  to  the  Requesting  Party  a  statement  in  writing,  executed  by an
authorized  officer of the  Responding  Party,  certifying  (a) that,  except as
otherwise specified,  this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (b)
the  dates  to  which  Basic  Rent,  Additional  Rent  and  all  other  Monetary
Obligations  have been paid,  (c) that,  to the  knowledge of the signer of such
certificate and except as otherwise specified,  no default by either Landlord or
Tenant  exists  hereunder,  (d) such other matters as the  Requesting  Party may
reasonably  request,  and (e) if Tenant is the Responding Party, that, except as
otherwise  specified,  there are no proceedings  pending or, to the knowledge of
the signer, threatened,  against Tenant before or by any court or administrative
agency which, if adversely  decided,  would  materially and adversely affect the
financial  condition  and  operations  of  Tenant.  Any such  statements  by the
Responding Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any Person whom the
Requesting   Party  notifies  the  Responding  Party  in  its  request  for  the
certificate  is an intended  recipient or beneficiary  of the  certificate,  any
Lender or their assignees and by any  prospective  purchaser or mortgagee of any
of the Leased  Premises.  Any  certificate  required under this Paragraph 25 and
delivered by Tenant shall state that, in the opinion of each person  signing the
same, he has made such  examination or  investigation  as is necessary to enable
him to express an informed opinion as to the subject matter of such certificate,
and shall briefly state the nature of such examination or investigation.

                  26. Surrender.  Upon the expiration or earlier  termination of
this Lease,  Tenant shall  peaceably  leave and surrender the Leased Premises to
Landlord  in  the  same  condition  in  which  the  Leased  Premises  was at the
commencement  of this Lease,  except as repaired,  rebuilt,  restored,  altered,
replaced or added to as  permitted  or required by any  provision of this Lease,
and except for  ordinary  wear and tear and  damage by  Casualty  or a Taking if
Landlord rejects Tenant's offer under Paragraph 18 hereof.  Upon such surrender,
Tenant shall (a) remove from the

                                      -44-

<PAGE>



Leased  Premises all property  which is owned by Tenant or third  parties  other
than Landlord and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal.  Property not so
removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause
such property to be removed from the Leased  Premises.  The cost of removing and
disposing  of such  property  and  repairing  any  damage  to any of the  Leased
Premises caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
Landlord  shall not in any manner or to any  extent be  obligated  to  reimburse
Tenant for any such property which becomes the property of Landlord  pursuant to
this Paragraph 26.

                  27.  No  Merger  of  Title.  There  shall be no  merger of the
leasehold  estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in any of the Leased
Premises  by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold or own,
directly or  indirectly,  (a) the leasehold  estate  created  hereby or any part
thereof or interest therein and (b) the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises
or any part thereof or interest therein, unless and until all Persons having any
interest in the interests  described in (a) and (b) above which are sought to be
merged shall join in a written  instrument  effecting such merger and shall duly
record the same.

                  28.      Books and Records.

                           (a) Tenant shall keep  adequate  records and books of
account with respect to the finances and business of Tenant  generally  and with
respect to the Leased Premises, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP")  consistently  applied, and shall permit Landlord and Lender
by their respective agents, accountants and attorneys, upon reasonable notice to
Tenant,  to visit and inspect the Leased  Premises  and examine (and make copies
of) the records and books of account and to discuss the  finances  and  business
with the  officers of Tenant,  at such  reasonable  times as may be requested by
Landlord.  Upon the request of Lender or Landlord (either  telephonically  or in
writing),  Tenant  shall  provide  the  requesting  party  with  copies  of  any
information  to which such party  would be  entitled in the course of a personal
visit.

                           (b) Tenant  shall  deliver to Landlord and to Lender,
within  ninety  (90)  days of the  close of each  fiscal  year,  annual  audited
financial  statements  of Tenant  prepared  by a firm of  nationally  recognized
independent certified public accountants.  Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord
within  forty-five  (45)  days  after  the end of each  of the  three  remaining
quarters  unaudited  financial  statements  and all other  quarterly  reports of
Tenant,  certified by Tenant's chief financial officer, and all filings, if any,
of Form 10-K,  Form 10-Q and other  required  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the provisions of

                                      -45-

<PAGE>



the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Law. All financial
statements  of Tenant  shall be prepared in  accordance  with GAAP  consistently
applied.  All annual financial statements shall be accompanied (i) by an opinion
of said accountants stating that (A) there are no qualifications as to the scope
of the audit and (B) the audit was performed in accordance with GAAP and (ii) by
the affidavit of the president or a vice president of Tenant,  dated within five
(5) days of the delivery of such  statement,  stating that (C) the affiant knows
of no Event of Default,  or event  which,  upon notice or the passage of time or
both,  would become an Event of Default  which has  occurred  and is  continuing
hereunder or, if any such event has occurred and is  continuing,  specifying the
nature and  period of  existence  thereof  and what  action  Tenant has taken or
proposes to take with respect  thereto and (D) except as otherwise  specified in
such  affidavit,  that Tenant has  fulfilled all of its  obligations  under this
Lease  which  are  required  to be  fulfilled  on or  prior  to the date of such
affidavit.

                  29.      Determination of Value.

                           (a) Whenever a determination  of Fair Market Value is
required  pursuant to any provision of this Lease,  such Fair Market Value shall
be determined in accordance with the following procedure:

                                    (i) Landlord  and Tenant  shall  endeavor to
agree upon such Fair Market  Value  within  thirty (30) days after the date (the
"Applicable  Initial Date") on which (A) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of
its intention to redetermine  Fair Market Value  pursuant to Paragraph  20(c) or
(B) Tenant provides notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention to make an offer to
purchase the Leased Premises  pursuant to Paragraph  23(m).  Landlord and Tenant
shall  endeavor  to agree on Fair  Market  Rental  Value on the date  (also,  an
"Applicable  Initial  Date")  which  is six (6)  calendar  months  prior  to the
expiration of the then current Term unless Tenant has  previously  exercised its
option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) not to have the Term  automatically  extended.
Upon reaching  such  agreement,  the parties shall execute an agreement  setting
forth the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value.

                                    (ii) If the  parties  shall not have  signed
such agreement within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant
shall  within  fifty  (50) days  after the  Applicable  Initial  Date  select an
appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications
of such  appraiser.  Within  twenty (20) days  following  Landlord's  receipt of
Tenant's  notice of the appraiser  selected by Tenant,  Landlord shall select an
appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications

                                      -46-

<PAGE>



of such appraiser.  Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market
Value or Fair Market Rental Value based on a written  appraisal  made by each of
them as of the  Relevant  Date (and given to Landlord  by  Tenant).  If such two
appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the
amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market  Rental Value as so agreed shall
be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                    (iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable
to agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20)
days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall
advise  Landlord and Tenant of their  respective  determinations  of Fair Market
Value or Fair Market Rental Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. The selection of
the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                    (iv) If such two appraisers  shall be unable
to agree upon the  designation of a third  appraiser  within ten (10) days after
the expiration of the twenty (20) day period  referred to in clause (iii) above,
or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or
Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after his selection,  then such
third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser,  as applicable,  shall, at the
request of either party hereto (with respect to the other  party),  be appointed
by the  President or Chairman of the  American  Arbitration  Association  in New
York,  New York.  The  determination  of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental
Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within
twenty (20) days after such appointment.

                                    (v) If a third  appraiser is selected,  Fair
Market  Value  or  Fair  Market  Rental  Value  shall  be  the  average  of  the
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third
appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value
made by the appraiser  (selected  pursuant to Paragraph  29(a)(ii) hereof) whose
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is closest to the
total dollar value to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding
and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                    (vi) All  appraisers  selected or  appointed
pursuant  to  this  Paragraph  29(a)  shall  (A) be  independent  qualified  MAI
appraisers,  (B) have no  right,  power or  authority  to  alter or  modify  the
provisions  of this Lease,  (C) utilize the  definition  of Fair Market Value or
Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set forth, and (D) be licensed in the State
if the State provides for or requires such registration.

                                      -47-

<PAGE>




                                    (vii) The Cost of the procedure described in
this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be borne by Tenant.

                           (b) If, by virtue of any delay,  Fair Market Value is
not determined by the  expiration or termination of the then current Term,  then
the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended
with respect to the Leased Premises or the Affected Premises, as applicable,  to
the date specified for  termination  in the  particular  provision of this Lease
pursuant to which the  determination  of Fair Market Value is being made. If, by
virtue  of  any  delay,  Fair  Market  Rental  Value  is not  determined  by the
expiration  or  termination  of the then  current  Term,  then until Fair Market
Rental Value is  determined,  Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the
succeeding  Renewal  Term in the same amount which it was  obligated  under this
Lease to pay prior to the  commencement  of the Renewal  Term.  When Fair Market
Rental  Value is  determined,  the  appropriate  Basic Rent shall be  calculated
retroactive  to the  commencement  of the Renewal  Term and Tenant  shall either
receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an  overpayment) or shall pay any
deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment).

                           (c) In  determining  Fair Market  Value as defined in
clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value,  the appraisers shall add (a)
the present value of the Basic Rent for the remaining  Term then in effect (with
assumed  increases  in the  CPI to be  determined  by the  appraisers)  using  a
discount  rate (which may be, but shall not be required to be,  determined by an
investment banker retained by any appraiser electing to seek such opinion) based
on the  creditworthiness  of  Tenant  and (b) the  present  value of the  Leased
Premises  as of the end of  such  Term  (without  assuming  the  Term  has  been
extended). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under
the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the
Lease,  and that  Tenant  has not  violated  (and will not  violate)  any of the
Covenants.

                           (d) In  determining  Fair Market  Rental  Value,  the
appraisers shall determine with respect to each Related Premises the amount that
a willing  tenant would pay for, and a willing  landlord of the Leased  Premises
would  accept,  at arm's  length for the Leased  Premises,  taking into  account
comparable  buildings  and also taking into  account:  (a) the age,  quality and
condition  (as required by the Lease) of the  Improvements;  (b) that the Leased
Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user;
(c) a lease term of five (5) years;  (d) an absolute  triple net lease;  and (e)
such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.

                  30.      Non-Recourse as to Landlord.

                           (a)  Anything   contained   herein  to  the  contrary
notwithstanding,  any claim based on or in respect of any  liability of Landlord
under this Lease shall be enforced  only  against  the Leased  Premises  and not
against any other assets, properties or funds of (a) Landlord, (b) any director,
officer, general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of Landlord, or any
general partner of Landlord, any of its general partners or shareholders (or any
legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any thereof), (c) any
predecessor  or  successor  partnership  or  corporation  (or other  entity)  of
Landlord, or any of its general partners, either directly or through Landlord or
its general partners or any predecessor or successor  partnership or corporation
or their  shareholders,  officers,  directors,  employees  or  agents  (or other
entity),  or (d) any other Person  (including  Carey  Property  Advisors,  Carey
Fiduciary  Advisors,  Inc., W.P. Carey & Co., Inc., W.P. Carey  Incorporated and
any Person  affiliated  with any of the  foregoing,  or any  director,  officer,
employee or agent of any thereof).

                           (b) Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Tenant shall not
be precluded  from  instituting  legal  proceedings  for the purpose of making a
claim  against  Landlord  on  account  of an  alleged  violation  of  Landlord's
obligation under this Lease, subject, however, to Paragraph 30(a) above.

                  31.      Financing.

                           (a) Tenant agrees to pay up to and including $250,000
in  out-of-pocket  Costs  incurred by Landlord  in  connection  with the initial
purchase,  leasing and  financing of the Leased  Premises  (the "Tenant  Closing
Costs"),  including,  without limitation, the cost of appraisals,  environmental
reports,  title  insurance,  surveys,  legal  fees  and  expenses  and  Lender's
commitment fees.

                           (b) If Landlord  desires to obtain or  refinance  any
Loan, Tenant shall negotiate in good faith with Landlord  concerning any request
made by any Lender or  proposed  Lender for  changes  or  modifications  in this
Lease. In particular,  Tenant shall agree,  upon request of Landlord,  to supply

matters set forth in this Lease and in the Seller's/Lessee's Certificate of even

long as the same do not  adversely  affect any right,  benefit or  privilege  of

subordination,  non-disturbance  and attornment  agreement may require Tenant to
confirm   that  (a)  Lender  and  its  assigns   will  not  be  liable  for  any
misrepresentation,  act or omission  of Landlord  and (b) Lender and its assigns
will not be subject to any counterclaim,  demand or offset which Tenant may have
against Landlord.

                  32. Subordination.  This Lease and Tenant's interest hereunder
shall be  subordinate to any Mortgage or other  security  instrument  securing a
Loan hereafter  placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord,  and to any and all
advances  made  or to be  made  thereunder,  to the  interest  thereon,  and all
renewals,  replacements and extensions thereof,  provided that any such Mortgage
or other security  instrument (or a separate  instrument in recordable form duly
executed by the holder of any such  Mortgage or other  security  instrument  and
delivered to Tenant) shall provide for the  recognition of this Lease and all of
Tenant's rights hereunder, including, without limitation, application of the Net
Award in  accordance  with the terms of this Lease  unless and until an Event of
Default has  occurred  and is  continuing  or  Landlord  shall have the right to

Leased Premises or such Related  Premises to cease to be vacant or shall make an
irrevocable offer (the "Vacation Offer") to purchase the Leased Premises or such
Related  Premises  that has been so  vacated  no later than the first day of the
fifteenth  (15th)  month  following  the date that the Leased  Premises  or such

purchase price equal to the Termination Amount.

                           (c) No  rejection  of the  Vacation  Offer  shall  be
effective for any purpose unless consented to in writing by Lender.  If Landlord
shall  reject the  Vacation  Offer by notice to Tenant,  containing  the written
consent  of Lender to such  rejection,  no later than the  thirtieth  (30th) day
following  receipt of the  Vacation  Offer by  Landlord,  then this Lease  shall
remain in full force and effect and  Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have
waived the Event of  Default  described  in  Paragraph  22(a)(vi)  but only with
respect to the specific vacation of the Leased Premises or Related Premises that
gave rise to such Vacation Offer.

                           (d) Unless  Landlord shall have rejected the Vacation
Offer by the foregoing  notice to Tenant not later than the thirtieth (30th) day
following  receipt  of  the  Vacation  Offer  by  Landlord,  Landlord  shall  be
conclusively presumed to have accepted the Vacation Offer. If the Vacation Offer
is accepted by Landlord,  then (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Offer Amount
on the  Vacation  Purchase  Date and,  (ii)  provided  that no Rent or any other
charge is due and unpaid under this Lease as of the Vacation  Purchase  Date and
Tenant is otherwise in compliance  with the terms hereof,  Landlord shall convey
to Tenant the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 20.

                           (a) Except as otherwise  provided in Paragraph 36(e),
and  provided an Event of Default does not then exist,  if Landlord  shall enter
into a contract (the "Sale Contract") for the sale of the entire Leased Premises
with a Third Party  Purchaser,  which Sale Contract  shall be  conditioned  upon
Tenant's  failure to exercise its right under this  Paragraph  36, then promptly
following the execution  thereof,  Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant,
together with a copy of the executed Sale Contract.

                           (b) For a  period  of  fifteen  (15)  days  following
receipt of such notice,  Tenant shall have the right and option,  exercisable by
written notice to Landlord  given within said fifteen (15) day period,  to elect
to purchase the Leased Premises at the purchase price and upon all the terms and
conditions set forth in the Sale Contract except that no contingencies contained
in such Sale  Contract as to  environmental  assessments,  engineering  studies,
inspection of the Leased  Premises,  availability  of  financing,  sale of other
property,  state of the title to or encumbrances on the Leased Premises,  or any
other  condition or  contingency  to the Third Party  Purchaser's  obligation to
purchase  the Leased  Premises  which  pertains to the  condition  of the Leased
Premises,  the Third Party  Purchaser's  ability to take  certain  action or any
other factor beyond the control of Landlord,  shall apply to Tenant's obligation
to purchase the Leased  Premises  under this  Paragraph  36, and Tenant shall be
obligated  to  purchase  the  Leased  Premises  without  any such  condition  or
contingency.

                           (c) If at the  expiration  of the  aforesaid  fifteen
(15) day period  Tenant  shall have failed to  exercise  the  aforesaid  option,
Landlord  may sell the Leased  Premises to such Third Party  Purchaser  upon the
terms set forth in such contract.

                           (d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
the closing date for any purchase of the Leased  Premises by Tenant  pursuant to
this  Paragraph 36 shall be the later to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the
date of  Tenant's  notice to Landlord of its  intention  to purchase  the Leased
Premises upon the terms of a Sale Contract with a Third Party  Purchaser or (ii)
the closing date provided in such Sale Contract.  At such closing Landlord shall
convey the Leased Premises to Tenant in accordance with, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the purchase price and other consideration set forth in, the applicable
Sale Contract.

                           (e)  Tenant  shall  have the  right to  exercise  the
foregoing  right of first  refusal  (i) upon each  proposed  sale of the  Leased
Premises prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the

                                      -52-

<PAGE>



Commencement Date and (ii) notwithstanding the lack of exercise by Tenant in (i)
above, one (1) time after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date;
provided,  that, if following  compliance  with the procedure  described in this
Paragraph  36, a Third Party  Purchaser  does not purchase the Leased  Premises,
such event shall not count as an exercise  of Tenant's  right of first  refusal.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary, if Tenant fails to exercise the right
of first refusal  granted  pursuant to this Paragraph  36(e),  subsection  (ii),
after the tenth (10th)  anniversary of the Commencement Date and the sale to the
Third  Party  Purchaser  is  consummated,  or if the  Term of this  Lease  shall
terminate  or expire,  such  rights of first  refusal  granted  pursuant to this
Paragraph 36 shall  terminate  and be null and void and of no further  force and
effect.

                           (f) If Tenant  does not  exercise  its right of first
refusal to purchase the Leased  Premises and the Leased Premises are transferred
to a Third Party Purchaser,  Tenant will attorn to such Third Party Purchaser as
Landlord so long as such Third Party  Purchaser  and Landlord  notify  Tenant in
writing of such transfer and the Third Party  Purchaser  assumes the obligations
of Landlord  under this Lease.  At the request of Landlord,  Tenant will execute
such  documents  confirming  the  agreement  referred  to above  and such  other
agreements as Landlord may reasonably request,  provided that such agreements do
not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

                           (g) The  provisions  of this  Paragraph  36 shall not
apply to or prohibit (i) any  mortgaging,  subjection  to deed of trust or other
hypothecation of Landlord's  interest in the Leased  Premises,  (ii) any sale of
the  Leased  Premises  pursuant  to a private  power of sale  under or  judicial
foreclosure  of any  Mortgage or other  security  instrument  or device to which
Landlord's  interest in the Leased Premises is now or hereafter  subject,  (iii)
any  transfer  of  Landlord's  interest  in the  Leased  Premises  to a  Lender,
beneficiary  under deed of trust or other holder of a security  interest therein
by deed in lieu of foreclosure,  (iv) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any
governmental or  quasi-governmental  agency with power of condemnation,  (v) any
transfer of the Leased  Premises to any  affiliate  of Landlord or to any entity

affiliates provides management services or investment advice, (vi) any Person to

full force and effect  until  satisfaction  of the  conditions  described in the
following  Paragraph  37(c).  The  Letter  of Credit  or the Cash  Security,  as
applicable shall be security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and all other

and obligations contained herein, and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit shall
be renewed at least  twenty-one  (21) days  prior to any  expiration  thereof or
Landlord  shall draw the Letter of Credit  and,  provided a Event of Default has
not occurred and is  continuing,  shall hold the Cash Security in an account for
the benefit of  Landlord  and its Lender as security  for  Tenant's  obligations
under  this  Lease.  At any time  thereafter,  Tenant  shall  have the  right to
exchange the Cash Security for a Letter of Credit,  subject to the terms of this
Paragraph 37.

                           (b) Provided  that no Event of Default  exists and is
continuing,  at such time as Tenant's Adjusted  Consolidated  Tangible Net Worth
(as defined in Exhibit "G") as of the date of the most recently completed fiscal
quarter shall be at least Fifty Million Dollars  ($50,000,000),  Tenant shall be
entitled  to  reduce  the face  amount of the  Letter of Credit to Four  Hundred
Eighty-one  Thousand  Two  Hundred  Fifty and No/100  Dollars  ($481,250)  or to
receive a portion of the Cash Security equal to such amount, as applicable.

                           (c) Provided  that no Event of Default  exists and is
continuing, at such time as Tenant's Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as
of the last day of the most recently  completed fiscal quarter shall be at least
Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000),  Tenant shall be entitled to the release of
the Letter of Credit or any balance of the  Security  Deposit  then held as Cash
Security.

                           (d)  Landlord  shall  have the  right to  assign  the
Security  Deposit to Lender or any other holder of a Mortgage during the term of
the  applicable  Loan,  so long as the Lender or such other holder of a Mortgage
agrees in  writing  that it shall  have all of the  rights  and  obligations  of
Landlord with respect to the Security Deposit,  provided that any portion of the
Security  Deposit  applied by Lender  shall,  with respect to Tenant,  be deemed
applied

as provided in Paragraph  23(d) hereof.  Tenant  covenants and agrees to execute
such agreements,  consents and acknowledgments as may be reasonably requested by

assignment.

                           (i) If any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Lease shall for any reason be held to be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect

invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.


                           (j) All  exhibits  attached  hereto are  incorporated
herein as if fully set forth.

                           (k) This Lease shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State.

                           (l) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California
Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942.  Landlord and Tenant waive the  provisions of

                               BASIC RENT PAYMENTS

         1. Basic Rent.

                  (a) Initial Term.  Subject to the adjustments  provided for in
Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below,  Basic Rent payable in respect of the Term shall be
$1,925,000  per annum,  payable  quarterly in advance on each Basic Rent Payment
Date, in equal installments of $481,250 each.

                  (b) Renewal Term.  Subject to the adjustments  provided for in
Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below, Basic Rent for each Renewal Term shall be an amount
equal to the greater of $1.10 sq. ft.  triple-net  (which shall be not less than
50,311  square feet for the  Gibraltar  Premises and 91,476  square feet for the
West Java  Premises) or the Fair Market  Rental Value as of the first day of the
applicable  Renewal Term, as determined in accordance  with  Paragraph 29 of the
Lease.

         2. CPI  Adjustments to Basic Rent;  Arbitration of Disputes.  The Basic
Rent shall be subject to adjustment,  in the manner  hereinafter set forth,  for
increases in the index known as United  States  Department  of Labor,  Bureau of
Labor Statistics,  Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City
Average,  All Items  (1982-84=100)  ("CPI")  or the  successor  index  that most
closely approximates the CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor
or comparable successor index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a
substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter
shall be determined by arbitration in accordance  with the rules of the American
Arbitration  Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award
resulting  from such  arbitration  shall be final and binding upon  Landlord and
Tenant  and  judgment   thereon  may  be  entered  in  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction.  In no event will the Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment
be less than the Basic Rent in effect for the three (3) year period  immediately
preceding  such  adjustment  or, with respect to each Renewal Term, be less than
the Basic Rent  determined for such Renewal Term (as described in Paragraph 1(b)
above).

         LANDLORD                           TENANT

         4. Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. Basic Rent shall not be adjusted
to reflect  changes in the CPI until the third  (3rd)  anniversary  of the Basic
Rent Payment Date on which the first full  quarterly  installment  of Basic Rent
shall be due and payable (the "First Full Basic Rent Payment  Date").  As of the
third (3rd) anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date and thereafter
on the sixth (6th),  ninth (9th) and twelfth (12th)  anniversaries  of the First
Full Basic Rent Payment Date, Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect  increases
in the CPI during the most recent  three (3) year period  immediately  preceding
each of the foregoing dates (each such date being  hereinafter  referred to as a
"Basic Rent Adjustment  Date").  If the Initial Term is renewed,  then as of the
third  (3rd)  anniversary  of  the  date  on  which  the  first  full  quarterly
installment  of Basic Rent shall be due and payable for such  Renewal Term (each
such date also a "First  Full Basic  Rent  Payment  Date"),  Basic Rent shall be
adjusted  to reflect  increases  in the CPI during the first  three (3) years of
such Renewal Term (each such date also a "Basic Rent Adjustment Date").

         5.       Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.

                  (a) As of each Basic Rent  Adjustment  Date, the Basic Rent in
effect  immediately  prior to such  date  shall be  multiplied  by  seventy-five
percent  (75%) of the Aggregate  CPI Increase (as  hereinafter  defined) and the
product  of such  multiplication  shall  be added to the  Basic  Rent in  effect
immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.

         "Aggregate CPI Increase"  shall mean the product of the sums of one (1)
plus each of the  compounded  increases  (but not decreases) in the Relevant CPI
(as  hereinafter  defined) for each of the three (3) 12-month  periods ending on
the  first,  second  and third  anniversaries  (each  such  anniversary  being a
"Calculation  Date") of the first full Basic Rent  Payment  Date (in the case of
the First Basic Rent  Adjustment  Date) or the preceding  Basic Rent  Adjustment
Date  (in the case of each  subsequent  Basic  Rent  Adjustment  Date)  over the
Relevant CPI for the previous  12-month period (each an "Annual  Increase") from
which product shall be subtracted one (1);

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



provided,  that if the Annual  Increase for any 12-month  period is greater than
4.5%,  then the Annual  Increase for such 12-month  period shall be deemed to be
4.5%. The Relevant CPI for the 12-month  period ending on any  Calculation  Date
shall be equal to the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months published on
or before the  forty-fifth  day  preceding  such  Calculation  Date (the  "Prior
Months"),  and the Relevant CPI for each of the preceding 12-month periods shall
be equal to the  average  CPI for the three (3) months of such  12-month  period
which correspond to the Prior Months.

         By way of example and not of limitation,  if,  immediately prior to the
Basic Rent Adjustment Date occurring on the ninth (9th) anniversary of the First
Full Basic  Rent  Payment  Date,  Basic  Rent is $100 and the  increases  in the
Relevant CPI for the three (3) preceding years are 2%, 0% and 12%, respectively,
the Aggregate CPI Increase will be as follows: (1.02 x 1.0 x 1.045) = 1.0659 - 1
= .0659 x .75 or .0494; then, .0494 x $100 = $4.94; then $100 + $4.94 = $104.94,
which is the new Basic Rent. Said another way, .0494 + 1 = 1.0494;  then, $100 x
1.0494 = $104.94, which is the new Basic Rent.

                  (b) Notice of the new annual  Basic Rent shall be delivered to
Tenant on or before the tenth (10th) day  preceding  each Basic Rent  Adjustment
Date.

              Spectrian Announces Sale and Leaseback of Facilities


         SUNNYVALE,   Calif.  --  December  2,  1996  --  Spectrian  Corporation
(NASDAQ:SPCT)  today announced that on November 19, 1996 it sold and leased back
its  main  facilities  at 350  West  Java  Drive  and at  160  Gibraltar  Court,
Sunnyvale,  California.  The Company sold the properties to SPEC (CA) QRS 12-20,
Inc., which was represented by W.P. Carey & Co. of New York City.  Proceeds from
the sale of the facilities  were $16.3  million,  net of fees,  commissions  and
closing costs. The properties are made up of 141,787 square feet of space.

         Spectrian  agreed to leaseback the facilities for a term of 15 years at
an  initial  base rent of  $1,925,000  per year.  The rent is subject to certain
increases  tied to the cost of living,  and  Spectrian has options to extend the
lease for two  five-year  periods after the  expiration  of the initial  15-year
term.

         Ed Supplee,  Executive Vice President and CFO of Spectrian said,  "This
sale was for a very attractive  price, over $100 per square foot, and it allowed
us to pay off all the Company's debt of $11.9 million and put over $4 million in
the bank. It substantially improves our liquidity and financial flexibility."
