                           7.2.5 SALE OF 11820 W. OLYMPIC BOULEVARD, LOS

November 30, 1990 and the Sheila L. Greger Intervivos Trust dated May 12, 1989
for the sale of that portion of the Property known as 11820 W. Olympic

purchase price of $2,400,000. In the event Tramiel completes this transaction,
or any other transaction for the sale of the West Los Angeles Site with the

gross sales price less the sum of all Tramiel's expenses, taxes, commissions,

                           7.2.6 RECORDING. The parties agree to record a
memorandum of this Agreement. If the option is not exercised JTS agrees to
deliver quitclaim deeds for the Property to Tramiel.

         8. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. The property located at 7060 W. Sunset
Boulevard, Los Angeles (the "Sunset/LaBrea Site") is encumbered by that certain
Declaration of Establishment of Restrictions and Covenants Affecting Land (the
"Declaration") recorded March 23, 1988 as Document #88-396092 in which a certain
person has a right of first offer concerning the Sunset/LaBrea Site. Because
Tramiel's offer to purchase each parcel comprising the Property is not
severable, JTS must notify the holder of such right of first offer of the terms
of this Agreement. In the event that, after the closing of the sale to Tramiel,
such person elects to purchase the Property, Tramiel, at the direction of JTS,
shall convey the Property either directly to such person or to JTS, upon payment
to Tramiel of the amount of Ten Million Dollars.
