then reasonable in the judgment of Lessor's accountants);

          (ix)   Replacements of equipment or improvements that have a useful

case their cost shall be included as above provided.

          (f)  Operating Expenses shall not include any expenses paid by any
lessee directly to third parties, or as to which Lessor is otherwise reimbursed
by any third party, other tenant, or by insurance proceeds.

          (g)  Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be payable by
Lessee within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual
expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's option, however, an
amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time in advance of Lessee's Share
of the Operating Expense Increase for any Comparison Year, and the same shall be
payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each Comparison
Year of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In

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

     (a)  Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state existing on
the date that the Lease term commences but without regard to alterations or
improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the
Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any
applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice
from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation.

     (b)  Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee's
expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of
any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from
that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in
any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises.
Lessee shall 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 tend to
create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the
Office Building Project.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANYTHING TO THE
CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, LESSEE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH ANY LAWS, CODES, ORDINANCES OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL DIRECTIVES WHERE SUCH
COMPLIANCE IS NOT RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO LESSEE'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE
PREMISES.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY SHOULD REQUIRE THE
BUILDING OR THE PREMISES TO BE STRUCTURALLY STRENGTHENED AGAINST EARTHQUAKE, OR
SHOULD REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS FROM THE PREMISES AND SUCH MEASURES ARE
IMPOSED AS A GENERAL REQUIREMENT APPLICABLE TO ALL LESSEES RATHER THAN AS A
CONDITION TO LESSEE'S SPECIFIC USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, SUCH WORK SHALL
BE PERFORMED BY AND AT THE SOLE COST OF LESSOR.

     6.3  Condition of Premises.

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

   6.4  LESSEE'S ACCESS.

   LESSEE SHALL HAVE ACCESS TO THE PREMISES 24 HOURS PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER
WEEK.

7.  MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND COMMON AREA SERVICES.

     7.1  Lessors 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 the
Building standards.  Except as provided in paragraph 9.5, there shall be no
abatement of rent or liability of Lessee on account of any injury or
interference with Lessee's business with respect to any improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part
thereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in
effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's
expense  because of Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good order,
condition and repair.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH 7.1, IF
LESSOR FAILS TO TIMELY PERFORM ITS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER,
AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, LESSEE'S USE OF THE PREMISES IS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED,
LESSEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CAUSE SUCH REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED
AT LESSOR'S EXPENSE AND TO DEDUCT THE COSTS THEREOF, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST
THEREON AT THE HIGHEST RATE PERMITTED BY LAW, FROM THE RENT PAYABLE TO LESSOR.

     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 the Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable notice,
elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs the


                                    Page 6



cost of which is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.

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

     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, 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, WHICH
APPROVAL SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD, and Lessor may require Lessee to
provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in
an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such
improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and
materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior
approval of Lessor, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that 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, with 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 or 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.

     (e)  All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
which may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but not limited to, floor
coverings, paneling, 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).
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 provisions of paragraph 7.2.

     (f)  Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and specifications for
any alterations. improvements, additions or Utility Installations.

   7.4  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, communication systems, and fire protection and detection
systems, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with
Lessee's use of the Premises.

   7.5  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN SECTION 7:


                                    Page 7



     (a)  LESSEE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO MAKE ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, IMPROVEMENTS
AND UTILITY INSTALLATIONS IN OR TO THE PREMISES, WITHOUT THE PRIOR CONSENT OF
LESSOR, SO LONG AS EACH OF THE SAME (i) DO NOT EXCEED THE SUM OF $20,000 IN COST
AND (ii) DO NOT AFFECT ANY STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING OR
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE BUILDING ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING OR HVAC SYSTEMS.  HOWEVER,
LESSEE MUST NOTIFY LESSOR AT LEAST 5 BUSINESS DAYS IN ADVANCE OF COMMENCEMENT OF
ANY SUCH WORK.

     (b)  LESSEE SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE AN ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS,
IMPROVEMENTS OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS FOR WHICH LESSEE HAS OBTAINED LESSOR'S
CONSENT, UNLESS LESSOR HAS INDICATED AT THE TIME GRANTING SUCH CONSENT, THAT
SUCH REMOVAL WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE END OF THE LEASE TERM.

     (c)  LESSEE'S SURRENDER OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF ANY OF
THE INITIAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS OR ANY REPAIRS MADE PURSUANT TO LESSEE'S REPAIR
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's
reasonable control or in cooperation with governmental request or directions,
provided Lessor uses reasonable and diligent efforts to reinstate.

12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

   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
hereunder 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.  Prior to any assignment or sublet
of the premises or any portion thereof, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing
of the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and deliver to
Lessor financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee, a true and
complete copy of the proposed assignment agreement(s) or sublease with said
notice, and shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested
by Lessor to enable Lessor to evaluate the proposed assignment or sublet.
Lessor shall within five (5) business days of the receipt of complete
information as required above, elect to do one of the following:

     (1)  consent to such proposed assignment or sublease;

     (2)  refuse such consent which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or

     (3)  IN THE EVENT LESSEE DESIRES TO ASSIGN OR SUBLEASE MORE THAN 50% OF
THE PREMISES, terminate this lease with respect to the portion of the
premises which Lessee desires to assign or sublease, in which case rental
paid by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be reduced in the proportion that
the square feet of the premises that Lessee desires to so assign or sublet
bears to the total square feet of the premises leased by Lessee hereunder,
and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation or liability
to the other with regard to said portion of the premises except for matters
which arose prior to termination and except for obligations that exist upon
termination.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LESSEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO
WITHDRAW ITS PROPOSAL TO ASSIGN OR SUBLET THE PREMISES, IN THE EVENT LESSOR
NOTIFIES IT THAT IT WILL ELECT TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE UNDER THIS
SUBPARAGRAPH (3).

   "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall NOT INCLUDE A
TRANSFER TO ANY ENTITY WHICH ACQUIRES SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE ASSETS OF
LESSEE, AS A GOING CONCERN, WITH RESPECT TO THE BUSINESS THAT IS BEING
CONDUCTED IN THE PREMISES; NOR SHALL "TRANSFER" INCLUDE THE SALE OF STOCK, OR
THE TRANSFER OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OR EFFECTIVE VOTING CONTROL OF
LESSEE FROM THE PERSON(s) HAVING EFFECTIVE VOTING CONTROL AS OF THE DATE OF
LESSEE'S EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE, WHERE SUCH TRANSFER OCCURS IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY BONA FIDE FINANCING OR CAPITALIZATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF LESSEE.

   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 even if after such
assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or
altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not be
necessary.

     12.3 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

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

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

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

     (d) If Lessee's 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 assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent


                                    Page 12


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

     (f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee, any guarantors or 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 rents 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, WHICH APPROVAL SHALL NOT BE
UNREASONABLY DENIED. Such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublease 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 deliver 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 sub-lessee, 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.

   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 the Office Building Project and not in
violation of any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the
proposed assignee or sublessee be at least as financially responsible as
Lessee was expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of
such assignment or subletting, whichever is greater.


                                    Page 13


        12.7  Surplus Rent.  To the extent that the aggregate amount of any
rental or other payments to be made by the proposed assignee, transferee or
sublessee to Tenant exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the
monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the term of such
sublease, transfer or assignment or the remaining Term of the Lease,
whichever expires earlier, (ii) the amount of any commissions payable in
connection with such sublease, transfer or assignment, (iii) the cost of any
alterations or improvements reasonably requested to be installed in
connection with such sublease, transfer or assignment, AND (iv) LESSEE'S
REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES, such excess amount shall be amortized ratably
over the term of such sublease, transfer or assignment or the remaining Term
of the Lease, whichever expires earlier, and one hundred percent (100%) of
such amortized portion of such excess amount shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord on the first day of each month during the applicable term.

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  abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.

     (b) 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 FIVE (5)  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.

      (c) The failure by Lessee to 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.

     (d) (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 US.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within
NINETY (90)  days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to lake
possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or
of Lessee's interest in this Lease. where possession is not restored to
Lessee within NINETY (90)  days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
discharged within NINETY (90) days. In the event that any provision of this
paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be
of no force or effect.

     (e) 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, with or without notice or
demand and 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 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 at
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 now 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


                                    Page 14


law.

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

   13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other
sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs include, 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 Expense Increase, or any other sum
due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within
FIVE (5)  days  notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge
equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will
incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by
Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect
to such overdue amount. nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder.

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

   (b) Lessor shall have no obligation to pay any additional fee or
commission under any of the following circumstances: (i) if Lessee exercises
any Option, as defined in paragraph 3.9.1 of this Lease, which is granted to

Lessee under this Lease, or any subsequently granted option which is
substantially similar to an Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or
(ii) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises
described in this Lease which are substantially similar to what Lessee would
have acquired had an Option herein granted to Lessee been exercised, or (iii)
if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the
term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (iv) if said
broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale entered into
between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent property
in which Lessor has an interest.

behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity having an
ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when such fee
is due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether
such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have
assumed Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and
cooperating broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of
this paragraph 15 to the extent of their interest in any commission arising
under this Lease and may enforce that right directly against Lessor;
provided, however, that all brokers having a right to any part of such total
commission shall be a necessary party to any suit with respect thereto.

   (d) Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that neither
has had any dealings with any person. firm, broker or finder (other than the
person(s), if any, whose names are set forth in paragraph 15(a), above) in

transaction contemplated hereby, and no other broker or other person, firm or
entity is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection with said
transaction and Lessee and Lessor do each hereby indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or liability
for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker,
finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the
indemnifying party.

advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to the responding

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. (it) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's
performance, and (iii) if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance.

performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor
at the time of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be
delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be
performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's
successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.

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

19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided,
any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate then allowable by law or judgments from the date due. Payment of such
interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease;

to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee
of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the
particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

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

such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions
of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, except that the rent
payable shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the rent payable immediately
preceding the termination date of this Lease, and all Options, if any,
granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no
further effect during said month to month tenancy.

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

28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee AND LESSOR 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

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,


                                    Page 17


modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 55 HEREUNDER,
Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if
Lessee is not in default and so Iong as Lessee shall pay the rent and observe
and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is
otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or
ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby
prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall
give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such 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 date of said
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

   (b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted
herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as
the case may be. Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10)
BUSINESS days after written demand shall constitute a material default by
Lessee hereunder without further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option,
Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact.   LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH 30(b)
SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT ANY SUCH DOCUMENTS SHALL NOT
MATERIALLY INCREASE ANY OBLIGATIONS OR DECREASE ANY RIGHTS OF LESSEE.

31.  ATTORNEYS' FEES.

   31.1 If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an action to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, trial or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorneys' fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court in the
same or 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.

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

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

32.  LESSOR'S ACCESS.

   32.1 Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises

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

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

   32.3 Lessor shall have the right to retain keys to the Premises and to
unlock all doors in or upon the Premises other than to files, vaults and
sales, and in the case of emergency to enter the Premises by any reasonably

unlawful entry or detainer of the Premises or an eviction. Lessee waives any
charges for damages or injuries or interference with Lessee's properly 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.

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.

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,

                                    Page 18

provisions 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.

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

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

   39.4 Effect of Default on Options.

     (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding
any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during the time

to paragraph 13.1(c) or 13.1(d) and continuing until the noncompliance
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time
commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from
Lessee and unpaid (without any necessity 1or notice thereof to Lessee) and
continuing until the obligation is paid, or (iii) In the event that Lessor
has given to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(c),
or paragraph 13.1(d), whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12
month period of time immediately prior to the time that Lessee attempts to
exercise the subject Option, (iv) if Lessee has committed any non-curable
breach,  or is otherwise in default of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease.

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

     (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due
and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation
of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due
(without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii)

otherwise in default of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.

       39.5  Exercise Notice.  No exercise of any Option right hereunder

whom it is sent strictly in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23
herein.  The risk of non-delivery shall be on the sender of the Option notice.

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


                                    Page 19


agents and invitees from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained

Expenses, as set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).

     40.2 Lessor shall have the following rights:

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

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 a voluntary payment, and there shall survive
the right on the part of said party to institute suit 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

to this Lease as may be reasonably required by an institutional lender 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 either
Lessor or Lessee herein, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the

     Months 1-24    $3.40 per rentable square foot
     Months 24-36   $3.46 per rentable square foot

53. OPTION TO RENEW.

Lessee is granted two (2) options to extend the Term of the Lease Agreement for
an additional five (5) years each, herein defined as the "Extension Period".
Such extension shall be on the same terms and conditions as provided in the
Lease Agreement with the exception of Base Rent.  Base Rent for the Extension
Period shall be a sum equal to:



     For the Extension Period(s) the Base Rent will be the fair market rental
for the Leased Premises as of the date six (6) months prior to expiration of the
initial Lease Term or the first Extension Period if so exercised.  However, the
Base Rent for the Extension Periods shall not be less than the Base Rent as of
the expiration of the initial lease Term and the Base year will be adjusted to
reflect the year the Extension Period commenced.

     It shall be a condition precedent to the exercise of this option that
Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease Agreement at the time of exercise
of the option and at the commencement of the extension term.  If Lessee elects
to exercise this option, Lessee shall exercise said option only by written
notice delivered to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior the
expiration date of the Initial Term or last Extension Period, as applicable but
not earlier than three hundred sixty (360) days prior to the expiration of the
Initial Term or last Extension Period, as applicable.

     In the event that the option rental is based upon the fair market rental
for the Premises, the parties shall thereafter immediately meet and endeavor to
agree upon the fair market rental of the Lease Premises.  If the parties are
unable to agree upon the amount of rental for the Extension Period at least
ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of said Extension Period ("Initial
Meeting Period"), then the determination of the rental shall be promptly
submitted to arbitration.  Each party hereto will select, within fifteen (15)
days of the expiration of the Initial Meeting Period, referred to above, a
licensed real estate agent with at least five years commercial experience in the
City in which the Lease Premises are located involving properties similar to the
Property under this Lease and said arbitrators shall meet for the purpose of
determining the rental for the Extension Period.  If one party fails to so
select an agent the one agent retained shall set the fair market rental.

     If the two arbitrators do not agree, within thirty (30) days of their
selection, they shall select a third arbitrator with the qualifications referred
to above, within fifteen (15) days, and if they cannot agree on a third
arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the presiding judge of
the Superior Court in the County in

                                                                 Initials
                                                                         ------
                                   Page 21                       Initials
                                                                         ------


which the Leased Premises are located. Lessor or Lessee may petition such Court
within ten (10) days of the expiration date of the time for the selection of the
third arbitrator requesting the earliest possible determination by the Court.
The three arbitrators shall determine values within a thirty (30) day period of
the appointment of the third arbitrator and if they cannot agree upon a fair
market rental the three values shall be added together and the total shall be
divided by three.  If any value is lower or higher than ten percent (10%) from
the middle value such higher or lower value shall be excluded from the
calculations and the two remaining values shall be divided by two or if only one
value remains, such value shall be the value used.  Each party shall pay his
own agent and the cost of the third, if necessary, shall be paid equally.  The
determination shall be signed by both parties and shall thereupon become a part
of the lease agreement.  If the Base Rent for the Extension Period has not been
determined as of the commencement of the Extension Period, Lessee shall pay an
estimated Base Rent of One Hundred Ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent due for
the last month prior to commencement of the Extension Period.  Any deficiency
shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days of the arbitrator's
determination of the Base Rent for the Extension Period.  Any surplus shall be a
credit for Base Rent to become thereafter due.

54. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
Lessee shall have the first right to lease any space becoming available on the
first or second floor of the Building during the initial lease term or option
periods.  Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing describing the space coming
available and offering it at the fair market rental rate, to be arrived at by
the method described in Paragraph 53 above.  Lessee shall have ten (10) business
days from receipt in which to deliver their written acceptance of the offer.
Failure to respond to the offer within the stated response time shall constitute
a rejection of the offer.

55. NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT.
Lessor shall provide non-disturbance agreements from all lenders and ground
lessors on the Building prior to the Commencement Date.  In addition, Lessor
shall provide non-disturbance agreements from all future lenders and ground
lessors on the Building as a condition to Lessee's subordination of its
leasehold interest to such lenders.

56. SIGNAGE.
Pharsight will receive building directory and monument signage, subject to
Lessor's reasonable approval.

                                                                 Initials

INSTALLATION:

          Apply carpet and adhesive in accordance with manufacturers
               instructions.

          Check matching of carpet before cutting and ensure there is no visible
               variation between dye lots.

          Install carpet in configurations and colors indicated on drawings.
               Cut carpet, where required, in manner to allow proper seams and
               pattern match.  Ensure cuts are straight, true and unfrayed.  No
               pieces less than 24 inches wide will be permitted.

          Where possible and practical, locate seams in areas of least amount of
               traffic.

          Apply adhesive to edges of carpet at seams and join in manner so as
               not to detract from the appearance of the carpet installation and
               decrease its life expectancy.  Ensure seams are straight, not
               overlapped or peaked and free of gaps.

          Spread adhesive in quantity recommended by manufacturer after primer
               application to ensure proper adhesive over full area of
               installation.  Apply only enough adhesive to permit proper
               adhesion of carpet before initial set.

          Lay carpet on floors with the run of the pile in same direction of
               anticipated traffic.

          Do not change run of pile in any one room or from one room to next
               where continuous through a wall opening.

          Cut and fit carpet neatly around projection through floor and to walls
               and other vertical surfaces.

          Fit carpet snugly to walls or other vertical surfaces, leaving no
               gaps.

          Entire carpet installation is to be laid tight and flat to subfloor,
               well fastened at edges, and present a uniform pleasing
               appearance. Ensure monolithic color, pattern and texture match
