R E C I T A L S : ----------------- A. Maguire Thomas Partners-Colorado Place, a California general partnership, as landlord ("Landlord"), and Sublandlord, as tenant, entered into that certain Office Lease (the "Master Lease"), dated May 31, 1996, whereby Landlord leased to Sublandlord and Sublandlord leased from Landlord certain space (the "Premises") in the building located at 2401 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, California (the "Building"). B. Sublandlord now desires to sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublandlord approximately 28,500 rentable square feet of space located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, as more particularly set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto (the "Subleased Premises") upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease. C. All initially capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Sublease shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Master Lease. A G R E E M E N T : ------------------- NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows. 1. SUBLEASING OF THE SUBLEASED PREMISES. Sublandlord hereby subleases to the Subtenant and Subtenant hereby leases and hires from Sublandlord the Subleased Premises upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that the rentable area of the Subleased Premises for purposes of this Sublease and any and all calculations hereunder or in connection herewith shall be deemed to be 28,500 rentable square feet. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises, as set forth in this Section 1.1, shall not be subject to remeasurement or modification. 2. SUBLEASE TERM. Unless sooner terminated as provided for herein, this Sublease is for the term (the "Sublease Term") commencing upon the date that Sublandlord delivers the Subleased Premises to Subtenant pursuant to Section 8.1 below (the "Sublease Commencement Date"), which Sublease Commencement Date is anticipated to be between February 15, 2000 and March 1, 2000. The term of this Sublease shall expire on October 25, 2006 ("Sublease Expiration Date"). Following the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord may, at its option, deliver to Subtenant a Memorandum of Sublease Commencement Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B which shall confirm the Sublease Commencement Date and Subtenant shall execute and deliver such memorandum to Sublandlord within five (5) business days following receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease or in the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall not be subject to any liability in the event Sublandlord fails to tender possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant hereunder, nor shall Sublandlord be liable for any damage or injury resulting from delay incident to failure to tender possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant in a timely manner, but in such case Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Subleased Premises is tendered to Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, if the Sublease Commencement Date does not occur by April 1, 2000 (the "Outside Date"), Subtenant, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Sublease by giving Sublandlord written notice of termination on or before April 6, 2000, and in such event, this Sublease shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect and Sublandlord shall promptly refund any sums previously advanced by Subtenant under this Sublease and the parties hereto shall have no further responsibilities or obligations to each other with respect to this Sublease. 3.

PARKING. Subtenant shall have the rights and obligations to rent parking passes as set forth in Section 26 of the Master Lease, provided that (i) the number of unreserved and reserved parking passes which Subtenant is required, or may elect, to rent, as applicable, shall be based upon the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises, not the Rentable Area in the Premises, (ii) the phrase at the end of Section 26.1 of the Master Lease, on page 30 thereof, which reads: "... provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to rent any parking passes during the first six (6) months following the Commencement Date" shall not apply to this Sublease, (iii) the last sentence of Section 26.2 of the Master Lease, on page 31 thereof, shall not apply to this Sublease, and (iv) with respect to Section 26.4 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall be entitled to rent abatement for Subtenant's parking rent as set forth in the last sentence of said Section 26.4 to the extent that Sublandlord actually receives parking rent abatement for the parking passes and spaces rented by Subtenant, but such parking rent abatement shall be for the months of the Term under the Master Lease as set forth therein and shall be without regard to whether Subtenant has rented such passes and spaces continuously for the prior six (6) months. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Sublease, Subtenant shall rent a minimum of forty-three (43) parking passes and be entitled to rent up to one hundred (100) parking passes. Up to ten percent (10%) of all such parking passes may be for reserved parking spaces and the balance of such parking passes shall be for unreserved parking spaces.

SUBORDINATION TO AND INCORPORATION OF TERMS OF MASTER LEASE. 5.1 SUBORDINATION. This Sublease is in all respects subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and to the matters to which the Master Lease is subordinate; the Sublease shall also be subject to and Subtenant accepts the Sublease also subject to any amendments, modifications or supplements to the Master Lease hereafter made, provided that Sublandlord shall not enter into any amendment, modification or supplement of the Master Lease that would (i) prevent or adversely affect the use by the Subtenant of the Subleased -4- Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) increase the obligations of the Subtenant or decrease its rights hereunder, or (iii) shorten the term hereof or increase the rent required to be paid by the Subtenant hereunder, unless expressly approved in writing by Subtenant.

The Subtenant hereby agrees that it will conduct itself and its operations, and cause its agents, contractors, servants, employees, partners, invitees and any subtenants and licensees to conduct themselves and their operations, so as not to cause Landlord or Sublandlord to be in default under the Master Lease. 5.2 INCORPORATION OF TERMS OF MASTER LEASE. Subtenant hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with the provisions of the Master Lease and agrees that this Sublease is subordinate to and subject to the Master Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease, the terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions, rights, obligations, remedies and agreements contained in the Master Lease are incorporated herein by reference and are made a part hereof, and shall, as between the Sublandlord and the Subtenant (as if the Sublandlord were the landlord under the Master Lease and the Subtenant were the tenant under the Master Lease) constitute the terms of this Sublease except to the extent that they are inapplicable to, inconsistent with, or modified by the terms of this Sublease. All waivers of claims against or exculpations of Landlord contained in the Master Lease shall run in favor of both Landlord and Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between the Sublandlord and the Subtenant, the provisions of the Master Lease set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof shall not apply and shall be of no force or effect with respect to this Sublease. 5.3 ESTATE GRANTED; PROVISION OF SERVICES. 5.3.1 ESTATE GRANTED. Subtenant's estate shall in all respects be limited to, and be construed in a manner consistent with, the estate granted to Sublandlord by Landlord. 5.3.2 PROVISION OF SERVICES. The Subtenant agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or in the Master Lease, (i) the Sublandlord shall not be required to keep, observe or perform any of the Landlord's obligations under the Master Lease, including, without limitation, to provide any of the services or make any of the repairs or restorations that the Landlord has agreed to provide or make or cause to be provided or made under the Master Lease, and Sublandlord's sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to use reasonable efforts to cause the Landlord to provide such services and make such repairs or restorations as are required to be provided or made under the Master Lease, and (ii) any and all requests for any special or additional services furnished at the expense of Sublandlord under the Master Lease shall be made only with Sublandlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in such requests.

Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with (a) any such requests and (b) the provision by Landlord of any such special or additional services. The Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord -5- for any damage which may arise and Subtenant's obligations hereunder shall not be impaired by reason of (I) the failure of Landlord to keep, observe or perform its obligations pursuant to the Master Lease, or (II) the acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Sublease, in the event that Landlord fails to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, Sublandlord agrees that upon receipt of written notice from Subtenant it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to cause Landlord to comply with the terms of the Master Lease, provided that Sublandlord shall in no event be required to initiate any litigation against Landlord in connection therewith. In the event that Landlord continues its failure to perform pursuant to the Master Lease and Subtenant notifies Sublandlord in writing that Subtenant desires to initiate litigation against Landlord with respect thereto, then Sublandlord shall promptly assign to Subtenant any of its rights under the Master Lease to enforce the applicable terms of the Master Lease against Landlord. Thereafter Subtenant may initiate and maintain a lawsuit against Landlord to enforce the applicable terms of the Master Lease, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, provided that Subtenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any and all loss, cost, claim, damage, expense and liability (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements) incurred in connection with or arising from any such direct action by Subtenant. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Sublease, but subject to the approval of the Landlord, Subtenant shall have the right at any time to take any action required to be taken, but not timely taken, by Sublandlord under the Master Lease that may be necessary to prevent a default by Sublandlord under the terms of the Master Lease. 5.4 SUBLANDLORD COVENANTS.

Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Subtenant harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements), arising from any default by Sublandlord in the performance of any of Sublandlord's obligations under this Sublease or the Master Lease (subject to the obligations of Subtenant as set forth in this Sublease). Sublandlord represents and agrees that: (i) subject to Section 5.5 below, Sublandlord has delivered to Subtenant a current copy of the Master Lease and there are no other agreements between Sublandlord and Landlord relating to the Subleased Premises which will adversely affect or diminish the rights of Subtenant or impose any greater obligations on Subtenant than as expressly stated therein; (ii) as of the date of this Sublease, the Master Lease is in full force and effect, and Sublandlord is not now, and as of the Sublease Commencement Date will not be, in default thereunder; (iii) the provisions of the Master Lease shall not be waived, modified, amended or surrendered by Sublandlord in any manner so as to prevent or adversely affect the use by Subtenant of the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, nor as to impose any greater obligations on Subtenant than as imposed hereunder, without the prior written consent of Subtenant in each instance; and (iv) Sublandlord has no actual knowledge of any claim by Landlord that Sublandlord is in default or breach of any of the provisions of the Master Lease as of the date of this Sublease. -6- 5.5 RIGHT TO USE PASSENGER ELEVATORS. 5.5.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or in the Master Lease, Subtenant shall be entitled to use the passenger elevator bank (the "Passenger Elevator") servicing the second (2nd) floor of the Building for the sending and receipt of mail, small packages by Federal Express, UPS or other courier, or deliveries that require the use of two-wheeled handcarts.

LETTER OF CREDIT AND TEMPORARY SECURITY DEPOSIT. 19.1 DELIVERY AND FORM OF LETTER OF CREDIT. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, within ten (10) days following Subtenant's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the "L-C") in the initial amount (the "L-C Amount") of Four Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($487,350.00), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local Los Angeles office which will negotiate a letter of credit, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, and which L-C shall be in form and content as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto. Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Subtenant in obtaining the L-C. 19.2 APPLICATION OF THE L-C. The L-C shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the Sublease Term. The L-C shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Subtenant without the prior written consent of Sublandlord. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, and fails to cure such default within the applicable cure period set forth in this Sublease, or if Subtenant fails to renew the L-C at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be required to, draw upon all or any portion of the L-C for payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Sublandlord may reasonably spend or may become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant's default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant's default. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Sublandlord shall not (a) prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, nor (b) operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may otherwise be entitled. Any amount of the L-C which is drawn upon by Sublandlord, but is not used or applied by Sublandlord, shall be held by Sublandlord and deemed a security deposit (the "L-C Security Deposit"). If any portion of the L-C is drawn upon, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, either (i) deposit cash with Sublandlord (which cash shall be applied by Sublandlord to the L-C Security Deposit) in an amount sufficient to cause the sum of the L-C Security Deposit and the amount of the remaining L-C to be equivalent to the amount of the L-C then required under this Sublease or (ii) reinstate the L-C to the amount then required under this Sublease, and if any portion of the L-C Security Deposit is used or applied, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord (which cash shall be applied by Sublandlord to the L-C Security Deposit) in an amount sufficient to restore the L-C Security Deposit to the amount then required under this Sublease, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has the right to transfer its interest in the Master Lease and this Sublease and Subtenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Sublandlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C to the transferee, and in the event of such transfer, Subtenant shall look solely to such transferee for the return of the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C. If Subtenant has not previously been in default under the Sublease beyond the applicable cure period provided in this Sublease, and provided that Subtenant is not then in default under the Sublease beyond the applicable cure period provided in this Sublease, then the L-C Amount shall be reduced, -14- commencing on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Sublease Commencement Date and on each anniversary of the Sublease Commencement Date thereafter, by an amount equal to Ninety-Seven Thousand Four Hundred Seventy and No/100 Dollars ($97,470.00). If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Subtenant within thirty (30) days following either the expiration of the Sublease Term or the earlier termination of this Sublease for any reason other than a default by Subtenant. 19.3 CASH AS SECURITY DEPOSIT. In lieu of the L-C, Subtenant shall have the right at any time to deliver cash to Sublandlord (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT") in the amount then required for the L-C, in which event the Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the Sublease Term. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, and fails to cure such default within the applicable cure period set forth in this Sublease, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant's default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Sublease. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Subtenant within thirty (30) days following either the expiration of the Sublease Term or the earlier termination of this Sublease for any reason other than a default by Subtenant. Sublandlord shall deposit the Security Deposit in an interest bearing account selected by Sublandlord, in its sole discretion, and Subtenant shall be entitled to the interest on the Security Deposit. 19.4 TEMPORARY SECURITY DEPOSIT. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 19, in the event that Subtenant does not deliver the L-C to Sublandlord concurrently with Subtenant's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord, then concurrently with Subtenant's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, as a security deposit, cash in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), which shall temporarily satisfy the Security Deposit requirement set forth in Section 19.3 above and shall be held and used by Sublandlord in accordance with said Section 19.3, provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on such temporary security deposit. Upon delivery to Sublandlord of the L-C, Sublandlord shall promptly return such temporary security deposit to Subtenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subtenant fails to deliver the L-C to Sublandlord within ten (10) days following Subtenant's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord, then Subtenant shall, within such time period, deliver the balance of the Security Deposit required under Section 19.3 above to Sublandlord, or Subtenant shall be in material default under this Sublease. 20. DEFINITION OF SUBLANDLORD. The term "Sublandlord" as used in this Sublease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Sublandlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean -15- and include only the Sublandlord, at the time in question, of this Sublease. In the event of any transfer of such interest, Sublandlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfer or conveyance, the then sublandlord) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability for the performance of any covenant or obligation on the part of Sublandlord contained in this Sublease thereafter to be performed. Without further agreement, the transferee of such Sublease shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of Sublandlord hereunder, during the period that it is the sublandlord under this Sublease. Sublandlord may transfer its interest in the Master Lease and this Sublease without the consent of Subtenant and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Sublandlord's part of any term or condition of this Sublease. 21. NO LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES. Sublandlord represents that there are no currently existing leasehold mortgages encumbering its leasehold interest in the Premises. 22. SIGNAGE.

The validity of this Sublease shall be subject to the Landlord's prior written consent hereto pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, and if Landlord's consent shall not be obtained and a copy thereof delivered to Subtenant within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, either Sublandlord or Subtenant shall have the option to cancel this Sublease by notice to the non-terminating party within forty (40) days from the date hereof. 25.
