         4.3 Rent Increase.
                  4.3.1 At the times set forth in paragraph 1.7 of the Basic
Lease Provisions, the monthly Base Rent payable under paragraph 4.1 of this
Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor for all Urban
consumers (1987 = 100). "All items," for the city nearest the location of the
Building, herein referred to as "C.P.I.," since the date of this Lease.
                  4.3.2 The monthly Base Rent payable pursuant to paragraph
4.3.1 shall be calculated as follows: the Base Rent payable for the first month
of the term of this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4.1 of this Lease, shall be
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the
calendar month during which the adjustment is to take effect, and the
denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the
original Lease term commences. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
monthly Base Rent hereunder, but, in no event, shall such new monthly Base Rent
be less than the Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date
for the rent adjustment.
                  4.3.3 In the event the compilation and/or publication of the
C.P.I. shall be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or
agency or shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the
C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculations. In the event that Lessor and
Lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be
submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in the county in
which the Premises are located, in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the
parties, notwithstanding one party failing to appear after due notice of the
proceeding. The cost of said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and
Lessee.
                  4.3.4 Lessee shall continue to pay the rent at the rate
previously in effect until the increase, if any, is determined. Within fifteen
(15) days following the date on which the increase is determined. Lessee shall
make such payment to Lessor as will bring the increased rental current,
commencing with the effective date of such increase through the date of any
rental installments then due. Thereafter the rental shall be paid at the
increased rate.
                  4.3.5 At such time as the amount of any change in rental
required by this Lease is known or determined, Lessor and Lessee shall execute
an amendment to this Lease setting forth such change.

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




Lessor retains the right to increase the amount of the security deposit if
Lessee leases additional space in the Office Building Project.

6. Use.
         6.1 Use: The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purposes
set forth in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provision or any other use which
is reasonably comparable to that use and for no other use.
         6.2 Compliance with Law.
                  (a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to
alterations or improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will
occupy the Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record or
any applic-able building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease
term Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has
been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written
notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any
such violation.
                  (b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements of any life insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect
or which may here-after come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change
in policy from that now existing, during the term of any part of the term hereof
relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of
the Premises, Lessee shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not
use or permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that
will tent to unreasonably create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to
unreasonably disturb other occupants of the Office Building Project.
         6.3 Condition of Premises.
                 (a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in a clean
condition on the Lease Commence-ment Date (unless Lessee is already in
possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, existing lighting,
air conditioning and heating system stubbed to or existing in the Premises shall
be in good operating condition. In the event that it is determined that this
warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Lessor, after
receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature
of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost, rectify such violation.
                 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises and the Office Building Project in their condition existing
as of the Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes possession of
the Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,
county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the
use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or restrictions of record, and
accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by
any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied itself
by its own independent investigation that the Premises are suitable for its
intended use, and that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent or agents has made any
representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct of Lessee's
business.

7. Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations and Common Area Services.
         7.1 Lessor's Obligations: Lessor shall keep the Office Building
Project, including the Premises, interior and exterior walls, roof, and common
areas, and the equipment whether used exclusively for the Premises or in common
with other premises, in good condition and repair; provided, however, Lessor
shall not be obligated to paint, repair or replace wall coverings, or to repair
or replace any improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or
are above then Building standards. Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there
shall be no abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account of any injury or
interference with Lessee's business with respect to any improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part
thereof. Lessee waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect
which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's
expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.




         7.2 Lessee's Obligations.
              (a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises in
good condition and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost
thereof to Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any
maintenance and repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that
serves only Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to
causes beyond normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of
painting, repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to repair or replace any
Premises improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are
above then Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable
notice, elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs
the cost of which is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.
              (b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Any
material damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary
wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance
practices by Lessee. Lessee shall repair any material damage to the Premises
occasioned by the installation or removal of Lessee's trade fixtures,
alterations, furnishings and equipment. Except as otherwise stated in this
Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution
systems, lighting, fixtures, air conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings,
carpets, wall paneling, ceilings and plumbing on the Premises and in good
operating condition.
         7.3 Alterations and Additions.
              (a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent make
any alterations, improvements, additions, Utility installations or repairs in,
on or about the Premises, or the Office Building Project. As used in this
paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window and
wall coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, air conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring
and equipment. At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of
any or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations, and the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building
Project to their prior condition in all material respects at Lessee's expense.
Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its own alterations, improvements, additions
or Utility Installations, Lessee shall use only such contractor as has been
expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor,
at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal
to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure
Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to
insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, or use
a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may, within thirty (30)
days of learning thereof, require that Lessee remove any part or all of the
same.
              (b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project that
Lessee shall desire to make shall be presented to Lessor in written form, which
proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent to Lessee's making
such alteration, improvement, addition or Utility Installation, the consent
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the
applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to
the commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of
said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
              (c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, or any interest therein.
              (d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice
prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises
or the Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any
such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor of the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's




reasonable attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest so to do if Lessee does not perform
in compliance with this paragraph.
                  (e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee) which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but
not limited to, floor coverings, panelings, doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings,
sound attenuation, and lighting and telephone or communication systems, conduit,
wiring and outlets, shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and
of good and sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Lessor
and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the
Lease term, unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a).
Provided Lessee is no in default, notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph 7.3(e), Lessee's personal property and equipment, other than that
which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material
damage to the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility Installations,
shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the
provision of paragraph 7.2.
                  (f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and
specification for any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
installations.
         7.3 Utility Additions. Lessor reserves the right to install new or
additional utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the
benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project,
including, but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical
systems, security systems, communication systems, and fire protection and
detection systems, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere
with Lessee's use of the Premises.

8.   Insurance; Indemnity.
      8.1 Liability Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense,
obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive
General Liability insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard form
with Broad Form General Liability Endorsement (FL0404), or equivalent, in an
amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occur-rence of bodily injury and
property damage combined or in a greater amount as reasonably determined by
Lessor and shall Insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional insured against
liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises.
Compliance with the above requirement shall not, however, limit the liability of
Lessee hereunder.
         8.2 Liability Insurance - Lessor. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury
and Broad Form Property Damage, plus coverage against such other risks Lessor
deems advisable from time to time, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against
liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or mainte-xxxxx of the
Office Building Project in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence.
         8.3 Property Insurance - Lessee. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense,
obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease for the benefit of
Lessee, replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism
and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and earthquake sprinkler leakage
endorsements, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all of Lessee's
personal property, fixtures, equipment and tenant improvements.
         8.4 Property Insurance - Lessor. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or
damage to the Office Building Project Improvements, but not Lessee's personal
property, fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements, in the amount of the full
replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time, utilizing
Insurance Services standard form, or equivalent providing protection against all
perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism,
malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as Lessor deems advisable
or may be required by a lender having a lien on the Office Building Project. In
addition, Lessor shall obtain and keep in force, during the term of this Lease,
a policy of rental value insurance covering a period of one (1) year, with loss
payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also cover all Operating Expenses for
said period. Lessee will not be name in any such policies carried by Lessor and
shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. The policies required by these
paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain such deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid
lender may determine. In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured
loss as defined in paragraph 9.1(f) hereof, the deductible amounts under the
applicable insurance policies




shall be deemed an Operating Expense. Lessee shall not knowingly do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by
Lessor. Lessee shall pay the entirely of any increase in the property insurance
premium for the Office Building Project over what it was immediately prior to
the commencement of the term of this Lease if the increase is specified by
Lessor's insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Lessee's occupancy
or any act or omission of Lessee.
         8.5 Insurance Policies. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of
liability insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days
after the Commencement Date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancellable
or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals
thereof.
         8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other,
for direct or consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to the
perils covered by property insurance carried by such party, whether due to the
negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or
invitees. If necessary, all property insurance policies required under this
Lease shall be endorsed to so provide.
         8.7 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnity and hold harmless Lessor and its
agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and against
any and all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity
arising from Lessee's use of the Office Building Project, or from the conduct of
Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or suited
or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall indemnity
and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, costs and expenses
arising from any material breach or default in the perform-ance of any
obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act or omission of Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents,
contractors, employees or invitees and from and against all costs, attorney's
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessor as the result of any such use,
conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or suffered, breach, default or
negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith; including but not limited to
the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved
therein; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such matter, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall co-operate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid
any such claim in order to be so indemnified. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee
or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Office Building Project arising from
any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
         8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person
in or about the Premises or the Office Building Project, nor shall Lessor be
liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or
contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from theft,
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing,
air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places; or
from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of
the Office Building Project; or of the equipment fixtures or appurtenances
applicable thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable
for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or
use of the Office Building Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce
the provisions of any other lease of any other lessee of the Office Building
Project.
         8.9 No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Neither Lessee or Lessor
makes any representa-tion that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance
specified in this paragraph 8 are adequate to cover either party's property or
obligations under this Lease.

Lessor's election to do so within twenty (20) days after the date of occurrence
of such damage.
                  (b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee
has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said
option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such option,
if it is to be exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after the
occurrence of an insured Loss falling

Operating Expenses) for the period during which such damage, repair or
restoration continues shall be abated, provided (1) the damage was not the
result of the negligence of Lessee, and (2) such abatement shall only be to the
extent the operation and profitability of Lessee's business as operated from the
Premises is adversely affected. Except for said abatement of rent, if any,
Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of
any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.

                  (b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises or the Building under the provision of this Paragraph 9 and shall not
commence such repair or restoration within thirty (30) days after such
occurrence, or if Lessor shall not complete the restoration and repair within
five (5) months after such occurrence, Lessee may at Lessee's option cancel and
terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee's election to do

respects in connection with any such restoration and repair, including but not
limited to the approval and/or execution of plans and specifications required.
         9.6 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor, shall,

provisions of paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2.
          10.2 Additional Improvements. Lessee shall not be responsible for
paying any increase in real property tax specified in the tax assessor's records
and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the
Office Building Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive
enjoyment of any other lessee. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time
that Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the entirely of any
increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
          10.3 Definition of "Real Property Tax." As used herein, the term "real

or estate taxes) imposed on the Office Building Project or any portion thereof
by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Office Building Project or in any
portion thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and as against Lessor's




business of leasing the Office Building Project. The term "real property tax"
shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or change (i) in substitution
of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove
included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of
which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real property tax," or
(iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978,
or, if previously charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which
is imposed as a result of a change in ownership, as defined by applicable local
statutes for property tax purposes, of the Office Building Project or which is
added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real
property tax by reason of such change of ownership, or (v) which is imposed by
reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or any
transfers hereof.
          10.4 Joint Assessment. If the improvements or property, the taxes for
which are to be paid separately by Lessee under paragraph 10.2 or 105 are not
separately assessed, Lessee's portion of that tax shall be equitably determined
by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets
or such other information (which may include the cost of construction) as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.

         10.5 Personal Property Tax.
                  (a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed

assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.

ventilation, air conditioning, and janitorial service as reasonably required,
reasonable amounts of electricity for normal lighting and office machines, water
for reasonable and normal drinking and lavatory use, and replacement light bulbs
and/or fluorescent tubes and ballasts for standard overhead fixtures.
          11.2 Services Exclusive to Lessee. Lessee shall pay for all water,
gas, heat, light, power, tele-phone and other utilities and services specially
or exclusively supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee,
together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered
to the Premises, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be mutually
determined by Lessor and Lessee of all charges jointly metered with other
premises in the Building.
          11.3 Hours of Service. Said services and utilities shall be provided
during generally accepted business days and hours or such other days or hours as
may hereafter be set forth. Utilities and services required at other times shall
be subject to advance request and reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of the cost
thereof.
          11.4 Excess Usage by Lessee. Lessee shall not make connection to the
utilities except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use
machinery or equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting
or power, or suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the
utilities or services, including but not limited to security services, over
standard office usage for the Office Building Project. Lessor shall require
Lessee to reimburse Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out
of a breach of this subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor, may, in its sole discretion,
install at Lessee's expense supplemental equip-ment and/or separate metering
applicable to Lessee's excess usage or loading.
          11.5 Interruptions. There shall be no abatement of rent and Lessor

labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's
reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions,
provided that Lessor uses its best efforts to help correct the problem on a
prompt basis.




12. Assignment and Subletting. See Paragraph 50 of the Lease
          12.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold, Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent here-under in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include
the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation more than
fifty-one percent (51%) voting stock of such corporation or (b) Lessee is a
partnership more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and loss
participation in such partnership.
         12.2 Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be given written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease unless the provisions of the Lease are materially changed without
Lessee's consent.
         12.3  Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
                  (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting shall
release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or after the primary liability
of Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Lessee's
Share of Operating Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder.
                  (b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment.
                  (c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of
the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 of this Lease.
                  (d) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been
guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's
consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their
written consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.
                  (e) The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any subsequent
or successive subletting by the sublessee.
                  (f) In the event of any default under this Leas, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for
the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
                  (g) Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting
of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default
then exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor
shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as
may be otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.
                  (h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement
relied upon by lessor in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was
materially false shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null
and void.
         12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting.
Regardless of Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply
to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be
deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly
incorporated therein:
                  (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore
or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and
apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that
until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing




under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment
of such sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in
the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rent to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
                  (b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective
unless and until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any
sublease, Lessee shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to
Lessor, and once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or
modified without Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublessee shall, by reason
of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of
Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Lessor has expressly consented in writing.
                  (c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of
its obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from
the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of
Lessee under such sublease.
                  (d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
                  (e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has
consented, Lessor agrees to delivery a copy of any notice of default by Lessee
to the sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of
Lessee within three (3) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.
         12.5 Lessor's Expenses. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other
consultants' fees, not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).
         12.6 Conditions to Consent. Lessor reserves the right to condition any
approval to assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the proposed
assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality
substantially equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of the other occupants of this Office Building Project and not in violation of
any exclusives or rights than held by other tenants, and (b) the proposes
assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment
or subletting, whichever is greater.

13.  Default; Remedies.
          13.1 Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:
                  (a) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
Vacation of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a
continuous period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.
                  (b) The material breach by Lessee of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1
(assignment or subletting), 13.1(a) (vacation or abandonment), 13.1(e)
(Insolvency), 13.1(f) (false statement), 16(a) (estoppel certificate), 30.(b)
(subordination), 33 (auctions), or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby
deemed to be material, non-curable defaults.




                  (c) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
                  (d) The failure by Lessee to materially observe or perform any
of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee other than those referenced in subparagraphs (b) and (c),
above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessee's noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in
default if Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted
by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive
notice required to be given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer
statutes.
                  (e) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor"
as defined in 11 U.S.C. ss. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the
case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharge within
thirty (30) days. In the event that any provision o this paragraph 13.1(e) is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
                  (f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of
Lessee's obligation hereunder, was materially false.
         13.2 Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this
Lease by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter without limiting Lessor in
the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such
default:
                  (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate
and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In
such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all material damages
incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to,
the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting,
including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable
attorneys' fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth of the
time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor
pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
                  (b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event, Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all
of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
the rent as it becomes due hereunder.
                  (c) Pursue any other remedy nor or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
         13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in
writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commence within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently
pursues the same to completion.
         13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses or other
sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include,




but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed
covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base
Rent, Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received
by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be
due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, not prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

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

15. Broker's Fee.
         (a) The brokers involved in this transaction are Xxx and Associates as
"listing broker" and Westmac Commercial Brokerage as "cooperating broker,"
licensed real estate broker(s). A "cooperating broker" is defined as any broker
other than the listing broker entitled to a share of any commission arising
under this Lease. Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall pay
to said brokers jointly, or in such separate shares as they may mutually
designate in writing, a fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Lessor
and said broker(s) for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor
in this transaction.
         (b) [intentionally deleted]
         (c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of any person,
corporation, association, or other entity having an ownership interest in said
real property or any part thereof, when such fee is due hereunder. Any
transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by
agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's
obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and cooperating broker shall be
a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15 to the extent
of their interest in any commission arising




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

16. Estoppel Certificate.
         (a) Each party (as "responding party") shall at any time upon not less
than ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ("requesting
party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in
writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the responding that there are not, to the
responding party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the requesting
party, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Office Building Project or of the business of Lessee.
         (b) At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall
be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii)
if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one (1) month's rent has been
paid in advance.
         (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Office
Building Project, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any
lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as
may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall
include the past three (3) years' financial statements of Lessee. All such
financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

         Rider 5

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

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

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

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

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

22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter
shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the
parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated
in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker
listed in paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction not
the Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or
written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use
by Lessee of the Premises or the Office Building Project and Lessee acknowledges
that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health
Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof
with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this
Lease.

23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified or registered
mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below or adjacent to the signature of the
respec-tive parties, as the case may be. Mailed notices shall be deemed given
upon actual receipt at the address required, or forty-eight (48) hours following
deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, whichever first occurs. Either party may
by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except
that Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or
permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to
such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

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

25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. All costs to be paid by the requesting party.

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

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

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

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




30. Subordination.
         (a) This Lease, and any Option or right of first refusal granted
hereby, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed
upon the Office Building Project and to any and all advances made on the
security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination,
Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if
Lessee is not in default and so long s Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and
perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor
shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien
of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Lessee, this Leas and such Options shall be deemed prior to such
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are
dated prior or subsequent to the data of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease or the date of recording thereof.
         (b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents reasonably required to
effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option
granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease,
as the case may be, Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10)
days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Lessee
hereunder or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf
of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and
irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name,
place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with this
paragraph 30(b).

31. Attorneys' Fees.
         (a) If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an action to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, trial or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorneys' fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court in the same
or a separate suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or
judgment. The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the
broker named herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
         (b) The attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with
any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys'
fees reasonably incurred in good faith.
         (c) Both parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and
all other costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices
of default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal
action is subsequently commenced in connection with such default.

32. Lessor's Access.
         (a) Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, performing
any services required of Lessor, showing the same to prospective purchasers,
lenders, or lessees, taking such safety measures, erecting such scaffolding or
other necessary structures, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises or to the Office Building Project as Lessor may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using and maintaining
of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other
premises as long as there is no material adverse effect to Lessee's use of the
Premises. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the Building
any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120
days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease"
signs. 0100.0108.4208
         (b) All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be
without abatement of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for the
same.
         (c) Lessor shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to
unlock all doors in or upon the Premises other than to files, vaults and safes,
and in the case of emergency to enter the Premises by any reasonably appropriate
means, and any such entry shall not be deemed a forcible or unlawful entry or
detainer of the Premises or an eviction. Lessee waives any charges for damages
or injuries or interference with Lessee's property or business in connection
therewith.




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

34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or the Office
Building Project without Lessor's prior written consent. Under no circumstances
shall Lessee place a sign on any roof of the Office Building Project.

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

36. Consents. Except for paragraphs 33 (auctions) and 34 (signs) hereof,
wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the
other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

37. Guarantor. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

38. Quiet Possession. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provision on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed hereunder. Lessee shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provi-sions of
this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent
and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and legally capable of
executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon
all parties holding an ownership interest in the Office Building Project.

39. Options.
         39.1 Definition. As used in this paragraph the word "Option" has the
following meaning: (1) the right to option to extend the term of this Lease or

personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the original Lessee
while occupying the Premises who does so without the intent of thereafter
assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises of any portion thereof, and may
not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any
person or entity other than Lessee; provided, however, that an Option may be
exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of
this Lease. The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not assignable
separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this
Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
         39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
         39.4  Effect of Default on Options.

40.      Security Measures - Lessor's Reservations.
         40.1 Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor shall have no obligation
whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit
of the Premises or the Office Building Project. Lessee assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents, and invitees and the
property of Lessee and of Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third
parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole option,
from providing reasonable security protection for the Office Building Project or
any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the
definition of Operating Expenses as set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).
         40.2 Lessor shall have the following rights:

Areas as Lessor shall reasonably deem appropriate;
                  (c) To permit any lessee the exclusive right to conduct any
business as long as such exclusive does not conflict with any rights expressly
given herein;
                  (d) To place such signs, notices or displays as Lessor
reasonably deems necessary or advisable upon the roof, exterior of the buildings
or the Office Building Project or on pole signs in the Common Areas.

         41.1 Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant
such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable,
and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents that are reasonably upon request of Lessor and failure
to do so shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee without the
need for further notice to Lessee.
         41.2 The obstruction of Lessee's view, air, or light by any structure
erected in the vicinity of the Building, whether by Lessor or third parties,
shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Lessor.

42. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as voluntar




payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of said party to
institute suite for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there was
no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part
thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as
it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.

43. Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, Lessee, and each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such
entity, represent and warrant that such individual is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation,
trust or partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of
this Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.

44. Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions, Exhibits or Addenda
of this Lease and the typewritten or handwritten provisions, if any, shall be
controlled by the typewritten provisions.

45. No Offer. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agent and
submission of same to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to Lessee to lease.
This Lease shall become binding upon Lessor and Lessee only when fully executed
by both parties.

46. Lender Modification. Lessee agrees to make such reasonable modifications to
this Lease as may be reasonably required by an institutional lender as long as
the business terms are not altered in connection with the obtaining of normal
financing or refinancing of the Office Building Project.

47. Multiple Parties. If more than one person or entity is named as Lessor or
Lessee herein the obligations of the Lessor or Lessee herein shall be the joint

 ADDENDUM TO THAT CERTAIN LEASE DATED FEBRUARY 11, 1998 BY AND BETWEEN C & G
XXXXXX LIVING TRUST U/T/D 3/25/75 AND XXXXXXX XXXXX FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
II, JOINT TENANTS, AS LESSOR, AND DIGITALFACADES CORPORATION, A CALIFORNIA
CORPORATION, AS LESSEE, FOR THOSE CERTAIN PREMISES KNOWN AS 0000 XXXXXXX XXXXXX,
XXX XXXXXXX, XX, AS FOLLOWS:


Rider 1 (insert at the end of Paragraph 2.4):
, unless such non-compliance interferes with the rights of Lessee under this
Lease.


Rider 2 (insert as part of Paragraph 4.2 (b):
(ix) Replacements of equipment or capital improvements or lease of equipment
which would be deemed to be of a capital nature, however Lessee's responsibility
shall be limited solely to that portion of the capital improvement cost or lease
expense (as determined by the useful life for depreciation purposes according to
Federal Income Tax guidelines) which relates to the remaining term of the Lease.
For example, if the roof needs to be replaced (a 15 year useful life) and there
are two years remaining on the Lease Term, Lessee would pay 2/15 of the cost
thereof, multiplied by its share of Operating Expenses.



Rider 3 (insert as part of Paragraph 4.2):
(e) Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses specifically allocated to
Lessor under other provisions of this Lease, notwithstanding the fact that such
expenses may be included in the foregoing definition of Operating Expenses.


Rider 4 (insert at end of Paragraph 13.3):
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall be in default if Lessor fails to
perform according to other specific time periods outlined elsewhere in this
Lease.


Rider 5:
(d) In the event of any request under this Paragraph 16, the requesting party
shall pay the responding party a fee of $350 toward expenses incurred in
performing such request, including attorneys' fees.


Rider 6:
Lessor shall pay Lessee a fee of $350 toward expenses incurred in performing
under Paragraph 30, including attorneys' fees.


Rider 7:
Lessor shall pay Lessee a fee of $350 toward expenses incurred in performing
under Paragraph 41.1, including attorneys' fees.

50. Commencement Date: The commencement Date shall be May 1, 198.

51. Parking. Lessee shall have twenty (20) parking spaces for its use during the
term of the Lease at the initial rate of $30 per space per month Said rate shall
increase annually at the same rate as the CPI as specified in Paragraph 4.3 of
the Lease.

52. Valet Parking. During the term of the Lease, Lessee may find that it needs
more than the number of parking spaces allowed in Paragraph 51 above. Lessor
reserves the right, at any time after the Office Building Project (the
"Project") is 80% leased, to conduct a tenant survey to determine how many
parking spaces all tenants in the Project require. Should the total number of
parking spaces exceed fifty-five (55) (15% over the normal number of parking
spaces, forty-eight (48)), then Lessor will retain the services of a valet
parking service to provide valet parking for the Project, for the number of
hours required to accommodate all tenants in the Project. Lessee shall pay for
said service as an Operating Expense on a monthly basis, based on the number of
spaces it needs over the amount allotted in Paragraph 51 above as a percentage
of all spaces required over the normal number of spaces. The valet parking
service will account for the number of spaces actually used by each tenant to
ensure accurate billing. For example, should Lessee require 25 parking spaces (5
over its allotted number of 29) and all tenants in the Project require 75 spaces
927 over the normal number of 48), then Lessee will pay 5/27 (or 18.5%) of the
valet parking cost for that month.

53. Rental Rates. The Base Rent, as defined in Paragraph 1.6 of the Lease, shall
be as follows:
May - July 1998: $12,468 per month;
August 1998 - April 1999; $14,087, 10 per month;
May 1999 - April 2000 $15,386.65 per month;
May 2000 - April 2001 17,377.85 per month;
May 2001 - April 2002 17,864.17 per month;
May 2002 - April 2003 18,455.32 per month;




54. Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning. Lessee shall have unrestricted use
and control of the HVAC system 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

55. Signage. Lessee shall have the right to exterior building signage subject to
Lessor's reasonable approval. Said signage shall be both as part of the building
directory (located by the intercom system) and also immediately adjacent to
Lessee's front door (see Building Signage Program attached as Exhibit "E" of the
Lease). Lessee will also have signage on the north side of the building,
adjacent to the street; size and location of said signage to be mutually agreed
upon between Lessor and Lessee (shown on Exhibit "E-1" of the Lease). Lessee's
signage will comply with the current codes for the City of Los Angeles and any
other applicable government agency. When approved, Lessor and Lessee will attach
a copy of the approved diagram of said sign as Exhibit "F" annexed hereto.

56. Tenant Improvements. Lessee shall provide all its own tenant improvements at
its sole cost and expense. Lessee shall pay all invoices promptly, and shall
provide Lessor copies of any and all lien releases related to said work. Lessee
shall be responsible for ensuring that Lessee's contractor has liability and
xxxxxxx'x compensation insurance of a minimum of $1 million, and that Lessor is
named as additional insured on said policies.

         Lessor shall approve Lessee's tenant improvement plans; said approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon approval, copies of said
plans shall be attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 and made a part of this Lease.
Lessee may competitively bid its tenant improvement work.

57. Option to Renew. Subject to the conditions in Paragraph 39 of the Lease,
Lessee shall have one (1) option to renew the term of the Lease an additional
five (5) years by providing Lessor written notice no later than six (6) months
prior to the expiration of the primary Lease Term. All other terms and
conditions shall remain the same.

58. Non-Disturbance. Lessor shall use its best efforts to obtain from each
lender with respect to the real property the subject of this lease a
non-disturbance agreement in recordable form, providing that in the event of any
foreclosure, sale under a power of sale, ground or master lease termination, or
transfer in lieu of any of the foregoing, or the exercise of any other remedy
under any lien on the real property that:
         a. Lessee's use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be
disturbed and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as
Lessee is not in default; and
         b. This Lease shall automatically become a lease directly between any
successor to Lessor's interest, as landlord, and Lessee, as if that successor
were the landlord originally named in the Lease.

59. Lessee's Alterations. Pursuant to Paragraph 7.3 of the Leas, when Lessee
submits plans for Lessor's approval, Lessee must submit a list of any and all
improvements it would like to remove at the termination of the Lease. At the
time when Lessor grants its approval for Lessee's improvements, Lessor must
specify which improvements Lessee must remove at the end of the Lease Term. Any
improvements which are not specified as outlined above must remain in the
Premises at the termination of the Lease. Lessee shall repair any damage valued
at $250 or more caused by any removal of said improvements, at Lessee's sole
cost and expense.

60. Profits from Subletting or Assignment. Pursuant to Paragraph 12.4 of the
Lease, should Lessee obtain any profits from said assignment or subletting
(after amortization of tenant improvements and assignment/subleasing expenses),
and Lessee is occupying less than 50% of the Premises, any and all profits shall
be split 50% to lessee and 50% to Lessor. If Lessee is occupying 50% or more of
the Premises, any and all profits are retained by Lessee.

61. Building Warranty. Pursuant to Paragraphs 6.3 and 7.2 of the Lease, Lessor
and Lessee hereby acknowledge that the Building has been newly reconstructed,
and is covered under a one year contractor's warranty, as required by the laws
of the State of California. Certain portions of the building (e.g. roof and HVAC
equipment) have warranties extending beyond said one year period. Lessor hereby
agrees to extend any and all building




warranties to Lessee, and Lessee shall receive any and all benefits therefrom.
Lessee hereby agrees to do nothing knowingly which would compromise said
warranties (e.g. make penetrations in the roof without contracting the roof
contractor who has provided the roof warranty). Should said warranties become
null and void due to Lessee's actions, Lessee shall be responsible for any and
all costs related thereto.

62. Early Occupancy. Lessee may take occupancy of the space prior to the
Commencement Date for construction of its interior improvements.

63. Increase in Property Taxes. Lessee shall not be responsible for any increase
in property taxes resulting from a sale or refinance of the Property during the
first three (3) years of the Lease Term.

1.9 of the Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense and within
five (5) business days of executing the Lease, provide Lessor an irrevocable
letter of credit with Xxxxx Fargo Bank or another financial institution approved
by Lessor in the amount of $100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars). Should
Lessee materially default on said Lease, pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 of the
Lease, Lessor may draw down on said Letter of Credit in an amount appropriate to
cure said default provided Lessor first gives notice to Lessee of such default
and of Lessor's intent to draw down on said Letter of Credit. Lessee must then
increase the amount of the Letter of Credit so that the sum of $100,000.00
remains available. Should Lessor draw down on the Letter of Credit and it is
found at a later date that Lessor was not entitled to said monies under the
Lease, whether repaid or otherwise, Lessor shall pay Lessee a penalty fee equal
to twenty-five (25%) percent of the monies on which Xxxxxx xxxx down but to
which Lessor was not entitled.

65. Right of First Refusal. Lessor grants to Lessee the Right of First Refusal
to lease the vacant contiguous 4,874 rentable square feet (shown as "Refusal"
Space o Exhibit "A" attached) under the same terms and conditions of the
original lease, with the lease rate the same rate per square foot as paid in the
initial Lease without the three month reduction, except that monthly rental
shall commence one hundred eighty (180) days from lease execution, and the
Letter of Credit shall be increased to $150,000. During the period immediately
following the execution of the Lease, Lessor shall proceed to attempt to lease
the "Refusal" Space to other prospective tenants. Lessor shall notify lessee
within one business day of receipt of a bona fide proposal from another tenant
to lease the Refusal Space. Lessee shall have five (5) business days to notify
Lessor in writing and execute the necessary lease documents to include the
Refusal Space as part of the Premises. Once the Refusal Space has been leased by
Lessee or another tenant, said Right of First Refusal shall become null and void
and no longer in effect under the Lease.

66. Release from Guaranty. Should Xxxx X. and/or Xxxxxx Xxx sell stock such that
fifth and 10/100 percent (50.1%) of Lessee is owned by the public through an
initial public offering or by another publicly held company and the net work of
said entity is greater than $ten million ($10,000,000.00), then Lessor shall
release the Guarantors from said Guaranty and the Guarantors shall have no
further liability hereunder.

67. Consent/Duty to Act Responsibly. Notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary in this Lease, any time the consent or approval of Lessor or Lessee is
required, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Whenever this Lease grants Lessor or Lessee the right to take action,
exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations or make allocations or
other determinations, Lessor or Lessee shall act reasonably and in good faith
and take no action which might result in the frustration of the other party's
reasonable expectations concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

contrary in this Lease, the term "Operating Expenses" shall not include the
