1.  SUBLEASING OF PREMISES.  Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and
Subtenant hereby hires from Sublandlord, the Premises, upon and subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

    2.        TERM.

              2.1  The term (the "Term") of this Sublease shall be for a two
(2) year and two (2) month period, which shall commence on November 1,1995 (the
"Commencement Date") and shall terminate on December 31, 1997 (the "Expiration
Date"), or on such earlier date upon which the Term shall expire or be canceled
or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of this Sublease or
pursuant to law.  Subtenant shall have absolutely no option to extend the Term
of this Sublease, and Sublandlord hereby agrees that Sublandlord shall have
absolutely no option to extend the term of the Lease.  Sublandlord and Subtenant
hereby agree that the provisions of Addendum To Lease (Option Provision) of the
Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety and are null, void and no longer of
any force or effect.

              2.2  If Sublandlord is unable or fails to deliver possession of
the Premises on the Commencement Date (i) Sublandlord shall not be subject to
any liability for failure to give possession, (ii) Subtenant waives the right to
recover any damages which may result from such failure to give possession, and
(iii) the Commencement Date shall be postponed until three (3) days after the
date of notice given by Sublandlord to Subtenant stating that the Premises are
ready for delivery to Subtenant.  If the Commencement Date shall be postponed as
provided in this Section 2.2, then promptly following the Commencement Date,
Sublandlord and Subtenant shall execute an agreement confirming the Commencement
Date and Rental (as hereinafter defined) shall be abated for the period between
November 1, 1995 and the Commencement Date, and Subtenant's payment of Rental
for the month of November, 1995 only shall be proportionately reduced.  If
Sublandlord does not deliver the Premises to Subtenant on or before November 30,
1995, Subtenant shall have the right, by delivering notice to Sublandlord and
Landlord on or before December 31, 1995, to terminate this Sublease and all
rights and obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant under this Sublease.  If
Subtenant does not so deliver such notice on or before December 31, 1995,
Subtenant shall have no such right thereafter to terminate this Sublease due to
Sublandlord not delivering the Premises to Subtenant on or before November 30,
1995.

    3.        BASE RENT AND ADDITIONAL RENT.

              3.1  Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, commencing on the
Commencement Date, in currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for
public and private debts in the United States of America, as base rent ("Base
Rent") during the Term, on or

                                          2



before the first (1st) day of each month during the Term, in the following
amounts for the following periods:

    (a)       for the one (1) year period commencing on the Commencement Date
and ending on October 31, 1996 in equal monthly installments of Five Thousand
Five Hundred Fifty-Three and 60/100 Dollars ($5,553.60) per month;

    (b)       for the one (1) year period commencing on November 1, 1996 and
ending on October 31, 1997 in equal monthly installments of Five Thousand Seven
Hundred Seventy-Five and 74/100 Dollars ($5,775.74) per month; and,

    (c)       for the two (2) month period commencing on November 1, 1997 and
ending on the Expiration Date in equal monthly installments of Six Thousand Six
and 77/100 Dollars ($6,006.77).

The installment of Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term
following the Commencement Date ($5,553.60) shall be due and payable on the
execution of this Sublease.  Provided that the delay is not caused by Subtenant,
the payment of Base Rent shall be deferred by the same number of days after the
Commencement Date that delivery of possession of the Premises may be delayed, if
any.  If the Commencement Date shall occur on a date other than the first day of
any calendar month, the Base Rent payable hereunder for such month shall be
prorated on a per-diem basis and shall be paid on or before the first day of the
first full month following the Commencement Date.

              3.2  In addition to the Base Rent herein reserved, Subtenant
agrees to pay to Sublandlord additional rental calculated as follows:

              (a)  one hundred percent (100%) of the amounts payable by
Sublandlord pursuant to Lease Article 1.10 (b)(i) (for triple net Operating
Expenses), Article 5.04 (for Personal Property Taxes), Article 5.05 (for
Utilities), Article 5.06 (for Impounds for Insurance Premiums and Property
Taxes), Article 9 (for Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations) and Exhibit G of
the Lease to the extent that such amounts exceed Sublandlord's costs for such
amounts under the Lease for the first one (1) year period of the Term (the "Base
Year") of the Sublease (from November 1, 1995 to October 31, 1996).  Effective
commencing on November 1, 1996, such increases in such amounts above the Base
Year shall be payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord in the same manner (within
thirty days of Sublandlord mailing an invoice for such additional rent to
Subtenant) as corresponding payments are payable by Sublandlord to Landlord
under the Lease.

              (b)  all other payments for which Sublandlord shall become
responsible to Landlord under the Lease in respect of the Premises, or
Subtenant's use or occupancy thereof or by reason of any act or omission of
Subtenant, including, without being limited to, any payments accruing as a
result of (i) any increases in insurance premiums as provided in Article 13

                                          3



(Insurance) of the Lease, resulting from any act or omission of Subtenant, (ii)
any additional rent payable on account of Subtenant's use of extra heating,
ventilation or air conditioning (iii) any additional rent payable on account of
any services provided to Subtenant.  Any restoration or repair of the Premises
or removal of Subtenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and personal property
required upon the expiration of the Term hereof as a result of Subtenant's
Alterations, as that term is hereinafter defined, shall be performed by
Subtenant at Subtenant's sole risk, cost and expense, and shall be completed by
Subtenant on or before the Expiration Date.

              3.3  If Subtenant shall fail to pay within five (5) days after
any installment of Base Rent is due hereunder, or, if Subtenant shall fail to
pay within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord delivers to Subtenant any invoice
for any installment of additional rental or other costs, charges and sums
payable by Subtenant hereunder (such additional rental or other costs, charges
and sums, together with Base Rent, hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Rental"), Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, in addition to such installment
of Rental, as a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of any such unpaid Rental
amount.

              3.4  All Base Rent and other Rental shall constitute rent under
this Sublease, and shall be payable to Sublandlord at its address as set forth
in Article 14 hereof, unless Sublandlord shall otherwise direct in writing.
However, if Sublandlord is adjudged to be in default of the Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, and Landlord notifies Subtenant and
Sublandlord that Sublandlord is in default of the Lease, Subtenant shall pay all
Rental due under this Sublease (commencing after Subtenant and Sublandlord
receive such notice) to Landlord and not to Sublandlord.

              3.5  Subtenant shall promptly pay the Rental as and when the same
shall become due and payable without set-off, offset or deduction of any kind
whatsoever, except as expressly set forth herein, and, in the event of
Subtenant's failure to pay the same when due (subject to grace periods provided
herein), Sublandlord shall have all of the rights and remedies provided for
herein or at law or in equity, in the case of non-payment of Rental.

              3.6  Sublandlord's failure during the Term to prepare and deliver
any statements or bills required to be delivered to Subtenant hereunder, or
Sublandlord's failure to make a demand under this Sublease shall not in any way
be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Sublandlord to forfeit or surrender its
rights to collect any Rental which may have become due pursuant to this Sublease
during the Term.  However, Sublandlord's failure to so prepare and deliver
statements and bills to Subtenant or make such a demand under this Sublease
shall preclude Sublandlord from collecting any late fees or charges from
Subtenant until Sublandlord does so prepare and deliver such statements, bills
or

                                          4



demands to Subtenant and the time periods have elapsed under paragraph 3.6 of
this Sublease.  Subtenant's liability for Rental due under this Sublease
accruing during the Term, and Sublandlord's obligation to refund overpayments of
or adjustments to Rental paid to it by Subtenant, shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of this Sublease.

              3.7  Sublandlord shall promptly furnish to Subtenant a copy of
each notice or statement from Landlord affecting the Premises.  If Sublandlord
disputes the correctness of any such notice or statement and if such dispute is
resolved in Sublandlord's favor, or if Sublandlord shall receive any refund of
additional rent without a dispute, Sublandlord shall promptly pay to Subtenant
any refund (after deducting from the amount of any such refund all expenses,
including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Sublandlord in
resolving such dispute) received by Sublandlord in respect (but only to the
extent) of any related payments of additional rent made by Subtenant less any
amounts theretofore received by Subtenant directly from Landlord and relating to
such refund, provided that, pending the determination of any such dispute (by
agreement or otherwise), Subtenant shall pay the full amount of Rental in
accordance with this Sublease and the applicable statement or notice of
Landlord.

    4.        SUBORDINATION TO AND INCORPORATION OF THE LEASE.

              4.1  This Sublease is in all respects subject and subordinate to
the terms and conditions of the Lease and to all matters to which the Lease is
subject and subordinate.  Sublandlord represents that a true and complete copy
of the Lease has been furnished by Sublandlord to Subtenant.  Subtenant shall
indemnify Sublandlord for, and shall hold it harmless from and defend it
against, any and all losses, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, which may be sustained or incurred by Sublandlord by reason of
Subtenant's failure to keep, observe or perform any of the terms, provisions,
covenants, conditions and obligations on Sublandlord's part to be kept, observed
or performed under the Lease to the extent same shall have been incorporated
herein, or otherwise arising out of or with respect to Subtenant's use and
occupancy of the Premises from and after the Commencement Date.  Sublandlord
shall indemnify Subtenant for, and shall hold it harmless from and defend it
against, any and all losses, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, which may be sustained or incurred by Subtenant by reason of
Sublandlord's failure to comply (after any applicable period under this Sublease
or the Lease has elapsed for Sublandlord to receive notice of and cure the
non-compliance) with any term of this Sublease or obligation under the Lease.

              4.2  Except as otherwise expressly provided in, or otherwise

                        Subtenant shall pay all Rental to Sublandlord (not
                        Landlord) under this Sublease.

              5.2       Article 6.03 (Lessee Advertising and Vending Machines)

    6.        USE.      Subtenant shall use and occupy the Premises for
financial services and for office use and for no other purposes.

    7.        COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASE.

              7.1  Subtenant shall not do anything that would constitute a
default under the Lease or omit to do anything that Subtenant is obligated to do
under the terms of this Sublease so as to cause there to be a default under the
Lease.  Throughout the Term of this Sublease (but subject to the provisions of
this Sublease and the Lease), Sublandlord shall continue to pay all rent to

to the provisions of this Sublease or the Lease.

              7.2  The time limits set forth in the Lease for the giving of

                                          7



    8.        SERVICES, REPAIRS, AND ALTERATIONS.

              8.1  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Sublease or in the Lease, Sublandlord shall not be required to provide any of
the services that Landlord has agreed to provide pursuant to the Lease (or
required by law), or furnish the electricity to the Premises that Landlord has
agreed to furnish pursuant to the Lease (or required by law), or make any of the
repairs or restorations that Landlord has agreed to make pursuant to the Lease
(or required by law), or comply with any laws or requirements of any
governmental authorities, or take any other action that Landlord has agreed to
provide, furnish, make, comply with, or take, or cause to be provided,
furnished, made, complied with or taken under the Lease, but Sublandlord agrees
to use and exercise reasonable efforts, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, to
obtain the same from Landlord and to cause Landlord to perform its obligations
under the Lease for the benefit of Subtenant (provided, however, that
Sublandlord shall not be obligated to use such efforts or take any action which
might give rise to a default under the Lease), and, subject to Sublandlord using
and exercising reasonable efforts as set forth in this paragraph, Subtenant
shall rely upon, and look solely to, Landlord for the provision, furnishing or
making thereof or compliance therewith.  If Landlord shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations under the Lease, Sublandlord shall, upon
reasonable request and at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant (including but
not limited to, Subtenant paying all of Sublandlord's attorney's fees and court
costs, provided that such Landlord's default is not solely and proximately
caused by a default of Sublandlord under the Lease), timely institute and
diligently prosecute any action or proceeding which both Sublandlord and
Subtenant deem appropriate in both Sublandlord's and Subtenant's reasonable
judgment, in order to have Landlord make such repairs, furnish such electricity,
provide such services or comply with any other obligation of Landlord under the
Lease or as required by law.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sublandlord shall have no obligation to institute or diligently prosecute any
action or proceeding which Subtenant could bring directly against Landlord
without Sublandlord being a party to any such action or proceeding.  Subtenant
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any and
all such claims arising from or in connection with such request, action or
proceeding, provided that, Landlord's failure to so comply with Landlord's
obligations under the Lease is not solely and proximately caused by a default of
Sublandlord under the Lease.  This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall
include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands,
costs and expenses of any kind or nature, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any
such claim, action or proceeding brought thereon.  Subtenant shall not make any
claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may arise, nor shall Subtenant's
obligations hereunder be diminished, by reason of (i) the failure of Landlord to
keep, observe or perform any of its obligations pursuant to the Lease

                                          8



or (ii) the acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents,  contractors, servants,
employees, invitees or licensees.  If the Lease is terminated by Landlord as a
result of a default or breach by Sublandlord or Subtenant under this Sublease or
the Lease, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for
any damages suffered as a result of such termination.  The provisions of this
Section 7.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
hereof.

              8.2  Subtenant shall not make or allow to be made any
alterations, changes, additions or improvements (collectively, "Alterations") to
the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord
and Sublandlord.  If Landlord and Sublandlord shall consent to any Alterations
to the Premises, such Alterations shall be subject to any terms, covenants,
conditions and agreements which Landlord and Sublandlord may prescribe from time
to time, which shall include a requirement that, prior to the commencement of
any Alterations to the Premises, Subtenant deliver to Landlord and Sublandlord
written acknowledgments from all materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics,
laborers and any other persons furnishing any labor, services, materials,
supplies or equipment to Subtenant with respect to the Premises that they will
look exclusively to Subtenant for payment of any sums due in connection
therewith and that Landlord and Sublandlord shall have no liability for such
costs.  All Alterations to the Premises made or requested by Subtenant shall be
at Subtenant's sole risk, cost and expense.  Upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term, any Alterations to the Premises, excepting movable
furniture and trade fixtures, shall become the property of Landlord and shall be
surrendered with the Premises, unless Landlord or Sublandlord shall direct
Subtenant to remove any such Alterations, in which event, Subtenant shall remove
same at its sole cost and expense and repair in a good and workmanlike manner or
any damage to the Premises or Building occasioned by such removal and, after
complying with the foregoing, on or before the Expiration Date, restore the
Premises and Building to the condition existing prior to such Alterations,
normal wear and tear accepted.

    9.        CONSENTS.

              9.1  Sublandlord agrees that whenever its consent or approval is
required hereunder, or where something must be done to Sublandlord's
satisfaction, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent
or approval, unless otherwise stated in this Sublease; provided, however, that
whenever the consent or approval of Landlord, the lessor under a superior lease,
or the mortgagee under a mortgage, as the case may be, is also required pursuant
to the terms of the Lease, and in connection therewith, if Landlord, the lessor
under a superior lease, or the mortgagee under a mortgage shall withhold its
consent or approval for any reason whatsoever, Sublandlord shall not be deemed
to be acting unreasonably if it shall also withhold its consent or approval.  If
Landlord shall withhold its consent or approval in connection with this Sublease
or the Premises in

                                          9




any instance where, under the Lease, the consent or approval of Landlord may not
be unreasonably withheld, and if Subtenant shall reasonably contend that
Landlord has unreasonably withheld such consent, Sublandlord may, upon the
request and at the expense of Subtenant, but Sublandlord shall have absolutely
no obligation to do so under any circumstances, either (i) timely institute and
diligently prosecute any action or proceeding which Sublandlord, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deems meritorious, in order to dispute such action by
Landlord, or (ii) permit Subtenant, to the extent allowable under the Lease, to
institute and prosecute such action or proceeding in the name of Sublandlord,
provided that Subtenant shall keep Sublandlord informed of its actions and shall
not take any action which might give rise to a default under the Lease.
Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord and hold it harmless from and against all
losses, damages, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, suits, demands, costs
and expenses, of any nature, arising from or in connection with any action or
proceeding instituted under this Section 8.1.

              9.2  If Subtenant shall request Sublandlord's consent and
Sublandlord has agreed, under the terms of this Sublease, that neither its
consent nor its approval shall be unreasonably withheld, and Sublandlord shall
fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, and Subtenant shall dispute the
reasonableness of Sublandlord's refusal to give its consent or approval, such
dispute shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If
the determination shall be adverse to Sublandlord, Sublandlord nevertheless,
shall not be liable to Subtenant for a breach of Sublandlord's covenant not to
unreasonably withhold such consent or approval, and Subtenant's sole remedy in
such event shall be the granting of consent or approval by Sublandlord with
respect to such request under this Sublease.

    10.       TERMINATION OF LEASE.   In the event of a default under the Lease
which results in the termination of the Lease, Subtenant shall attorn to and
recognize Landlord as Sublandlord hereunder and shall, promptly upon Landlord's
request, execute and deliver all instruments reasonably necessary or appropriate
to confirm such attornment and recognition.  Provided Subtenant is not in
default under the terms of this Sublease, Landlord shall not disturb Subtenant's
right to possession as provided under this Sublease.  Sublandlord shall not be
liable to Subtenant by reason of such termination of the Lease by either
Landlord or Sublandlord pursuant to the Lease, provided the termination is not
the result of the Sublandlord's default of the terms of the Lease or this
Sublease.

    11.       SUBLEASE.  NOT ASSIGNMENT.   Notwithstanding anything contained
herein, this Sublease shall be deemed to be a sublease of the Premises and not
an assignment, in whole or in part, of Sublandlord's interest in the Lease.

    12.       DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION, FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY: CONDEMNATION.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this

                                          10



Sublease or the provisions of the Lease herein incorporated by reference,
Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to all or any
part of the Premises, or be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent or any other
item of Rental, by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Premises
unless Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Lease or Sublandlord is entitled
to a corresponding abatement with respect to its corresponding obligation under
the Lease.  If Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Lease for all or any
portion of the Premises by reason of casualty or condemnation, Sublandlord may
terminate this Sublease as to any corresponding part of the Premises by written
notice to Subtenant given at least five (5) days prior to the date(s)
Sublandlord is required to give notice to Landlord of such termination under the
terms of the Lease.

    13.       NO WAIVERS.   Failure by Sublandlord in any instance to insist
upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of Subtenant
under this Sublease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall in no
manner be or be deemed to be a waiver by Sublandlord of any of Subtenant's
defaults or breaches hereunder or of any of Sublandlord's rights and remedies by
reason of such defaults or breaches, or a waiver or relinquishment for the
future of the requirement of strict performance of any and all of Subtenant's
obligations hereunder.  Further, no payment by Subtenant or receipt by
Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the correct amount or manner of payment of
Rental due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor
shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction, and
Sublandlord may accept any checks or payments as made without prejudice to
Sublandlord's right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this
Sublease or otherwise provided at law or equity.

    14.       NOTICES.  Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval,
advice or other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered or
made by either party to the other, pursuant to this Sublease or pursuant to any
applicable law or requirement of public authority (collectively, "Notices")

the other party that it has had no dealings, conversations or negotiations with
any broker other than Robert M. Irish, Inc. and CB Commercial Real Estate Group,

Sublease.  Each party hereto agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
other party against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all
costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of its
respective representations and warranties contained in this Article 15 being
untrue.  Sublandlord shall pay any brokerage commissions due to the Broker
pursuant to a separate agreement between Sublandlord and the Broker.  The
provisions of this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease.

    16.       CONDITION OF THE PREMISES.  Subtenant represents that it has made
or caused to be made a thorough examination of the Premises and is familiar with
the condition of every part thereof.  Subtenant agrees to accept the Premises in
its "as is" condition on the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear between the
date hereof and the Commencement Date excepted.  Sublandlord has not made and
does not make any representations or warranties as to the physical condition of
the Premises, the use to which

                                          12



the Premises may be put, or any other matter or thing affecting or relating to
the Premises, except as specifically set forth in this Sublease.  Sublandlord
shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel, improve, decorate,
repair, paint or otherwise prepare the Premises nor replace any part thereof,
for Subtenant's occupancy.

    17.       CONSENT OF LANDLORD TO THIS SUBLEASE.  Sublandlord and Subtenant
each hereby acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is subject to and
conditioned upon Sublandlord obtaining the written consent (the "Consent") of
Landlord as to: (i) the subleasing of the Premises by Sublandlord to Subtenant
under this Sublease; (ii) Subtenant's proposed use of the Premises; (iii)
Subtenant's proposed signage (if any is proposed by Subtenant as of the date of
this Sublease); (iv) Subtenant's proposed Alterations (if any are proposed by
Subtenant as of the date of this Sublease) and, (v) the transfer to Subtenant of
Sublandlord's parking rights under the Lease.  Promptly following the execution
and delivery hereof, Sublandlord shall submit this Sublease to Landlord for
approval.  Subtenant hereby agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith with
Sublandlord and shall comply with any reasonable requests made of Subtenant by
Sublandlord or Landlord in the procurement of the Consent.  Sublandlord shall
pay to Landlord a tenant improvement allowance within thirty (30) days after
Sublandlord receives a written invoice from Landlord, which invoice shall be
accompanied by written evidence that Landlord paid a tenant improvement
allowance to Subtenant and such allowance was totally utilized to make
improvements or alterations to the Premises by Subtenant, which amount must be
at least four (4) times the amount for which Landlord has invoiced Sublandlord.
However, in no event shall the tenant improvement allowance that is to paid by
Sublandlord to Landlord hereunder exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).  In
no event shall Sublandlord or Subtenant be obligated to make any other payment
to Landlord in order to obtain the Consent or the consent to any provision
hereof, other than as expressly set forth in the Lease (and any such fees which
may be payable pursuant to the Lease shall be payable by Subtenant and
Sublandlord shall have no responsibility for the payment of same).

    18.       ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING.

              18.1 Subtenant shall not assign, sell, transfer (whether by
operation or law or otherwise), pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber this
Sublease or any portion of its interest in the Premises, nor sublet all or any
portion of the Premises or permit any other person or entity to use or occupy
all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consents of
Sublandlord (except as set forth below) and Landlord.  Sublandlord shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, and Landlord's consent shall be
subject to the provisions of Article 16 (Assignment and Sublease) of the Lease.

              In connection with any subletting or assignment permitted,
Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, in addition to all

                                          13



such Rental payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder, all rent, additional
rent or other payments and consideration received by Subtenant in excess of
Rental payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord.

              18.2 For the purposes of this Article 18, an assignment or
subletting shall be deemed to have occurred upon: (i) the subletting or
assignment to a subsidiary or affiliate of Subtenant or occupancy by Subtenant's
subsidiaries or affiliates [such an assignment or subletting under this subpart
18.2(i) shall not require Sublandlord's prior written consent, but shall remain
subject to Landlord's consent pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the
Lease]; (ii) the sale or transfer, whether pursuant to a single transaction or
in a series of related or unrelated transactions, including without limitation
by consolidation, merger or reorganization, of a majority of the voting stock of
Subtenant or any beneficial interest therein, if Subtenant is a corporation, or
any sale or other transfer, whether pursuant to one or more successive
transactions, of a majority of the general partnership interests in Subtenant or
any beneficial interest therein, if Subtenant is a partnership; and (iii) the
sale or other transfer, whether pursuant to one or more successive transactions,
of more than fifty (50%) percent, by value, of the assets of Subtenant used in
conducting its business in the Premises (in the event of such a sale or
transfer, Sublandlord shall have no right to terminate this Sublease, but any
such sale or transfer shall be subject to Landlord's rights, if any, to
terminate this Sublease under the provisions of the Lease).

              18.3 If this Sublease be assigned, or if the Premises of any part
thereof be sublet (whether or not Sublandlord and Landlord shall have consented
thereto), Sublandlord, after default by Subtenant in its obligations hereunder,
may collect rent from the assignee or subtenant and apply the net amount
collected to the Rental herein reserved, but no such assignment or subletting
shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant set forth in this Article 18, or the
acceptance of the assignee or subtenant as a tenant, or a release of Subtenant
from the further performance and observance by Subtenant of the covenants,
obligations and agreements on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed
herein.  The consent by Sublandlord or Landlord to an assignment, sale, pledge,
transfer, mortgage or subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve
Subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing, to the extent required
by this Sublease or the Lease, of Sublandlord and Landlord to any further
assignment, sale, pledge, transfer, mortgage or subletting.

    19.       SECURITY.  Subtenant has deposited with Sublandlord the sum of
Six Thousand Six Hundred Six and 77/100 Dollars ($6,006.77) as security (the
"Security") for the faithful performance and observance by Subtenant of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Sublease, including, but not limited
to, the payment of Base Rent and all other items of Rental and the

                                          14



surrender of the Premises to Sublandlord as herein provided.  If Subtenant
defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Sublease, Sublandlord may apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security
so deposited, as the case may be, to the extent required for the payment of any
Base Rent or any other item of Rental as to which Subtenant is in default or for
any sum which Sublandlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of
Subtenant's default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Sublease, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the
reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues
before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublandlord.  If
Sublandlord applies or retains any part of the Security so deposited, Subtenant,
upon demand, shall deposit with Sublandlord the amount so applied or retained so
that Sublandlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all times during the
Term.  If Subtenant fully and faithfully complies with all the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, the Security Deposit,
exclusive of any earned interest thereon, shall be returned to the Subtenant
within ten (10) days following the Expiration Date.  Subtenant shall not assign
or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as
Security and neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by
any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

    20.       Intentionally deleted.

    21.       Regulatory Approval: Sublandlord and Subtenant specifically
acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Sublease, the effectiveness of this Sublease is expressly contingent upon the
following: No later than February 29, 1996, Subtenant shall have received all
regulatory approvals from the banking department of the California Department of
Corporations and the FDIC necessary for Subtenant to operate the Premises as a
branch banking facility (hereinafter "Regulatory Approvals").

If the foregoing condition fails to occur on or before the date specified above
for the satisfaction of the applicable condition, then Subtenant may at its
option, terminate this Sublease by written notice to the Sublandlord given no
later than five (5) days after the date specified for the satisfaction of such
condition, in which case, this Sublease shall thereupon terminate and be of no
further force or effect except for the obligations, if any, which have been
incurred prior to the date of such termination or which expressly survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.  If the foregoing condition
is not satisfied by the date specified above for satisfaction of such condition
and Subtenant does not give a notice to terminate to the Sublandlord by the
following five (5) day period, then this condition shall be deemed satisfied.

In the event Subtenant terminates this Sublease as a result of Subtenant's
failure to obtain the Regulatory Approvals on or

                                          15



before the date specified above, Subtenant (i) shall satisfy all monetary and
non-monetary obligations under this Sublease through the effective date of such
termination and (ii) shall deliver to Sublandlord no later than thirty (30) days
after the effective date of such termination a check in the amount equal to (a)
all tenant improvement expenses up to five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) and (b)
brokers' commissions up to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars
($25,000.00) cumulative for Sublandlord and Landlord.  In addition to the
foregoing, upon such termination, Subtenant shall at Landlord's and/or
Sublandlord's option return and restore the Premises to the condition which
existed prior to the Commencement Date of this Sublease at Subtenant's sole cost
and expense.  The obligations of Subtenant as set forth herein shall survive the
termination of this Sublease.

    22.       Protection of Subtenant: Landlord and Sublandlord shall use their
commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Subtenant an
agreement in writing from each existing mortgagee with a lien encumbering the
Premises and/or the lessor of any ground lease affecting the Premises, which
provides that, so long as Subtenant is not in default under any of the terms,
conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Sublease, Subtenant's possession of
the Premises shall not be disturbed by reason of foreclosure of any such
mortgage or the termination of any such ground lease.

Landlord or Sublandlord shall have until December 31,1995 to obtain such an
agreement for Subtenant.  In the event that such an agreement is not obtained by
that date, Subtenant shall have the option to terminate this Sublease by giving
written notice thereof to both Sublandlord and Landlord on or before January 15,
1996.  In the event of such termination, Subtenant shall only have the
obligation to pay Rental for the period of time it occupied the Premises.  In
the event of such termination, this Sublease shall thereafter be of no further
force and effect, except for the obligations, if any, which have been incurred
prior to the date of such termination or which expressly survive the Expiration
Date or earlier termination of this Sublease.  If the foregoing agreement is not
obtained by the date specified above and Subtenant does not give notice to
terminate to Sublandlord and Landlord on or before January 15,1996, then this
condition shall be deemed satisfied.

    23.       MISCELLANEOUS.

              23.1 This Sublease contains the entire agreement between the
parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged in this Sublease.
Any agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify or discharge
this Sublease in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing and signed

signed by Sublandlord or Subtenant, as the case may be.  The covenants and
agreement contained in this Sublease

                                          16



shall bind and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant and their
respective permitted succession and assigns.

              23.2 In the event that any provision of this Sublease shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Sublease shall be unaffected
thereby.

              23.3 The paragraph headings appearing herein are for purpose of

express understanding and agreement that this Sublease shall not be binding upon
Sublandlord or Subtenant unless and until Sublandlord and Subtenant both shall
have executed and delivered a fully executed copy of this Sublease to the other.

under this Sublease or the Lease shall name Landlord and Sublandlord as
additional insureds as their interests may appear.

accordance with, the laws of the State of California.        23.8 In the event
of a conflict ar inconsistency between the provisions of this Sublease and the

Lease.

              23.8 In the event either party commences any action against the
other party hereto because of a breach of or default under this Sublease, or to
enforce, interpret or determine the validity of any term, covenant, condition or
agreement of this Sublease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable
attorney's fees and court costs.

              23.9 Subject to the provisions hereof relating to assignment and
subletting, this Sublease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

              23.10 Sublandlord hereby warrants that the Lease is in full force
and effect and there are no breaches or defaults thereunder on the part of
Sublandlord, nor does any condition exist that, with the passage of time, or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a breach or default on the part
of Sublandlord.

                                          17



              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this

Date/Title of Sublease
Document:                    Sublease dated November 30, 1995 (the "Sublease")


    Regents Park Financial Centre, Ltd., a California corporation, as Landlord
under the Lease, subject to and specifically conditioned upon the following
terms and conditions hereby grants its consent to the Sublease made by and
between Tenant, as sublessor, and Sublessee, a copy of which is attached hereto
as EXHIBIT A, covering the Premises as more particularly described in the
Sublease, in the building known as Regents Park Financial Centre.

    The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Lease.  This Consent to Sublease and the
acknowledgments and acceptance of the conditions hereof may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original but constituting one
and the same documents.

    As conditions to the consent of Landlord to the Sublease, it is understood
and agreed as follows:

              (a)  NO RELEASE.  This Consent to Sublease ("Consent") shall in
no way release the Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under
Tenant, including Sublessee, from any of its covenants, agreements, liabilities
and duties under the Lease (including, without limitation, all duties to cause
and keep Landlord and others named or referred to in the Lease fully

                                          19



insured and indemnified with respect to any acts or omissions of Sublessee or
its agents, employees or invitees or other matters arising by reason of the
Sublease or Sublessee's use or occupancy of the Premises), as the same may be
amended from time to time, without respect to any provision to the contrary in
the Sublease.

              (b)  SPECIFIC PROVISIONS OF LEASE AND SUBLEASE.  This Consent
does not constitute approval by Landlord of any of the provisions of the
Sublease or agreement thereto or therewith; nor shall the same be construed to
amend the Lease in any respect, any purported modifications being solely for the
purpose of setting forth the rights and obligations as between Tenant and
Sublessee, but not binding Landlord.

              (c)  AMENDMENT OF SUBLEASE.  Tenant and Sublessee shall not amend
in any respect the Sublease without the prior written approval of Landlord.  In
no event shall any such amendment affect or modify or be deemed to affect or
modify the Lease in any respect.

              (d)  LIMITED CONSENT.  This Consent is limited solely to the
Sublease, and Landlord reserves the right to consent or to withhold consent and
all other rights under the Lease with respect to any other matters including,
without limitation, any proposed alterations and with respect to any further or
additional subleases, assignments or transfers of the Lease or any interest
therein or thereto including, without limitation, a sublease or any assignment
of this Sublease.  Neither the execution of this Consent by Landlord, nor the
acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person, including Sublessee, shall
constitute a consent to any subsequent transfer or a waiver of any of Landlord's
rights hereunder or under the Lease.

              (e)  TENANT'S CONTINUING LIABILITY.  Tenant shall remain
primarily liable to pay the Rent and all other amounts payable by Tenant under
the Lease and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under the Lease.  If
Sublessee or any of its successors or assigns defaults under the Lease, Landlord
may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing any remedies whatsoever
against Sublessee or any other person.  Landlord may consent to subsequent
transfers of the Lease by Sublessee or any other person without notifying Tenant
or obtaining its consent, and no such action shall relieve Tenant of its primary
liability and obligations under the Lease and this Consent.  Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord for any default under the Lease, whether such default is
caused by Tenant or Sublessee or anyone claiming by or through either Tenant or
Sublessee, but the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict or diminish any
right which Landlord may have against Sublessee pursuant to the Lease, in law or
in equity for violation of the Lease or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the right to enjoin or otherwise restrain any violation of the Lease
by Sublessee.

              (f)  ACCEPTANCE BY TENANT AND SUBTENANT.  Tenant and Sublessee
understand and acknowledge that Landlord has agreed

                                          20



to execute this Consent to Sublease based upon Tenant's and Sublessee's
acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms and conditions hereof.

              (g)  SUBORDINATION.  The Sublease is, in all respects, subject
and subordinate to the Lease, as the same may be amended. Furthermore, in the
case of any conflict between the provisions of this Consent or the Lease and the
provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Consent or the Lease, as the
case may be, shall prevail unaffected by the Sublease.

              (h)  TERMINATION OF LEASE/ATTORNMENT.  The earlier termination of
the term of the Lease or the surrender of the Lease by Tenant to Landlord,
shall, provided there is no continuing and uncured event of default by Sublessee
under the Sublease in the payment of rent or in the performance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the Sublease on Sublessee's part to be
performed, operate as an assignment to Landlord of the Sublease, in which event
Sublessee shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as Sublessee's landlord under
the Sublease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to
Sublessee for the Security Deposit referenced in Section 19 of the Sublease in
the event this Sublease is assigned to Landlord hereunder.  The foregoing
provisions of this paragraph shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of
law, the Sublease may otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Lease and
shall be self-operative upon such written demand of the Landlord, and no further
instrument shall be required to give effect to documents in confirmation of the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph satisfactory to Landlord in which
Sublessee shall acknowledge such attornment and shall set forth the terms and
conditions of its tenancy.  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be
construed to impair or modify any right otherwise exercisable by the Landlord,
whether under the Lease, any other agreement or in law.

              (i)  LEASE STATUS.  Tenant and Sublessee agree that the Lease, as
the same may have been amended, is in full force and effect and that there are
no breaches or defaults thereunder on the part of Landlord, nor does any
condition exists that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both,
would constitute such a breach or default on the part of Landlord under the
Lease.

              (j)  NO WAIVER; NO PRIVITY.  Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed a waiver of any of the Landlord's rights under the Lease.  Except as
specifically provided in paragraph 8 of this Consent with regard to the
assignment of the Lease to Landlord upon the early termination of the term of
the Lease or the surrender of the Lease by Tenant to Landlord, in no event shall
Landlord be deemed to be in privity of contract with Sublessee or owe any
obligation or duty to Sublessee under the Lease or otherwise, any duties of
Landlord under the Lease being in favor of, for the benefit of and enforceable
solely by Tenant.

                                          21



              (k)  NOTICES.  Sublessee agrees to promptly deliver a copy to
Landlord of all notices of default and all other notices sent to Tenant under
the Sublease, and Tenant agrees to promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all
such notices sent to Sublessee under the Sublease.

              (l)  TENANT REIMBURSEMENT OF TENANT IMPROVEMENT COSTS. In
consideration of Landlord's agreement to execute this Consent, Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord the amount of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00)
for the cost of tenant improvements being made to the Premises by Landlord in
connection with the Sublease.  Such amount shall be reimbursed by Tenant to
Landlord within thirty (30) days of written request for such reimbursement by
Landlord which written request shall include copies of paid invoices evidencing
expenditures by Landlord for tenant improvements to the Premises in an amount
equal to or greater than Twenty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000.00).

              (m)  CONDITION UPON TERMINATION.  Despite the provisions of
Section 9.02 of the Lease to the contrary, provided there is no continuing and
uncured event of default by Sublessee under the Sublease and Sublessee is in
possession of the Premises upon the expiration of the term of the Lease (which
is coterminous with the term of the Sublease, it being understood by the parties
hereto that it is the intention of Sublessee to remain in possession of the
Premises following the expiration of the term of the Lease/Sublease pursuant to
a new lease to be entered into directly between Landlord and Sublessee),
Landlord shall not require Tenant to remove its fixtures, equipment and/or
personal property from the Premises upon the expiration of the term of the
Lease.

              (n)  WAIVER OF DOCUMENTATION COSTS.  Landlord hereby waives its
right to seek reimbursement from Tenant for its attorneys' fees and costs
incurred in connection with the review and preparation of documents in
connection with the Sublease as provided in Section 16.01(f) of the Lease.

                                          22



              (o)  TENANTS AND SUBTENANT BOUND.  By executing this Consent,
Tenant and Sublessee acknowledge and agree to be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of Landlord's consent to the Sublease as set forth herein.
