                                   OFFICE LEASE
                                   ------------


          THIS LEASE is made and entered into by and between Landlord and Tenant
as of the Lease Date.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Definitions.
         ------------- 

          1.1.  Terms Defined.  The following terms have the meanings set forth
                -------------                                                  
below.  Certain other terms have the meanings set forth in the Basic Lease
Information or elsewhere in this Lease.

          Alterations:  Alterations, additions or other improvements to the
          -----------                                                      
Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant (but not including the alterations,
additions or other improvements, if any, made by or on behalf of Tenant during
the initial improvement of the Premises pursuant to and governed by the
provisions of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C).
                                                 ---------  

          Base Operating Expenses and Base Real Estate Taxes:  The Operating
          --------------------------------------------------                
Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in the Base
Year.  If at any time during the Term Landlord elects to carry earthquake
insurance on the Building ("Earthquake Insurance"), then Base Operating Expenses
shall thereafter (until Landlord discontinues the Earthquake Insurance) be
increased to include the lesser of: (i) the actual premiums paid by Landlord for
such Earthquake Insurance during the first full year that Landlord maintains
such Earthquake Insurance, or (ii) the commercially reasonable annual rate for
such Earthquake Insurance (such lesser amount shall be referred to as the
"Allowable Earthquake Premium").

          Building:  The office building consisting of an 8-story tower and
          --------                                                         
parking at grade located on the Land, commonly known as 5820 Shellmound Street,
Emeryville, California.

          Marketplace:  The Land, the Building, the Shopping Center,
          -----------                                               
landscaping, paved walkways, driveways and all other improvements at any time
located on the Land, and all appurtenances related thereto, commonly known as
The Marketplace.

          Escalation Rent:  Tenant's Percentage Share of the total dollar
          ---------------                                                
increase, if any, in Operating Expenses and in Real Estate Taxes, each as paid
or incurred by Landlord in each Fiscal Year, or part thereof, after the Base
Year, over the amount of Base Operating Expenses and Base Real Estate Taxes.  If
the Building or the Marketplace is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied
during any part of any year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make an
appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating Expenses and Real
Estate Taxes for that year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound
accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes that would have been incurred during such year if
the Building and the Marketplace had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied
during the entire year (and, if applicable, if the tenant improvements in the
Building had been fully constructed and the Land, the Marketplace, the Building,
and all tenant improvements in the Building and the Marketplace had been fully
assessed for Real Estate Tax purposes).  This amount shall be considered to have
been the amount of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for that year.  For
purposes hereof, "variable components" include only those component expenses
that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.

          Fiscal Year: Each period of  twelve (12) calendar months following the
          -----------                                                           
last day of the Base Year.  The first Fiscal Year shall be the twelve (12) full
calendar months commencing on the first (1/st/) day of the thirteenth (13/th/)
calendar month following the Commencement Date.

          Impositions:  Taxes, assessments, charges, excises and levies,
          -----------                                                   
business taxes, licenses, permits, inspection and other authorization fees,
transit development fees, assessments or charges for housing funds, service
payments in lieu of taxes and any other fees or charges of any kind at any time
levied, assessed, charged or imposed by any federal, state or local entity, (i)
upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's
equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property located in the
Premises, or the cost or value of any alterations, additions or other
improvements to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial
improvement of the Premises pursuant to and governed by the Work Letter and any
subsequent Alterations; (ii) upon, or measured by, any Rent payable hereunder,
including any gross receipts tax; (iii) upon, with respect to or by reason of
the development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion
thereof; or (iv) upon this Lease transaction, or any document to which Tenant is
a party 

                                      -1-

 
creating or transferring any interest or estate in the Premises. Impositions do
not include Real Estate Taxes, franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock
taxes, income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources or
any tax, assessment, charge, or other fee imposed as a condition to the

which constitutes Landlord as the same are distinguished from the costs of
operation of the Marketplace. 

     Landlord further agrees that since one of the purposes of the Operating
Expenses provisions is to allow Landlord to require Tenant to pay for the costs
attributable to its Premises, Landlord agrees that Landlord will not collect or
be entitled to collect Operating Expenses from all of its tenants in an amount
which is in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Operating Expenses
actually paid by Landlord in connection with the operation of the Marketplace.

Operating Expenses, as defined above, paid or incurred with respect to the
office portion of the Building, (ii) 87.75% of Operating Expenses, as defined
above, paid or incurred with respect to the common area portion of the Building,

hereafter levied or assessed upon, or with respect to, the Marketplace or any

personal property, by any federal, state or local entity, including:  (i) all
real property taxes and general and special assessments; (ii) charges, fees or
assessments for transit, housing, day care, open space, art, police, fire or
other governmental services or benefits to the Marketplace (except to the extent

as a condition to the construction of any improvements for any other tenant of
the Marketplace); (iii) service payments in lieu of taxes; (iv) any tax, fee or
excise on the use or occupancy of any part of the Marketplace, or on rent for

of the Marketplace); (B) Impositions and all similar amounts payable by tenants
of the Marketplace under their leases; and (C) penalties, fines, interest or
charges due for late payment of Real Estate Taxes by Landlord.  If any Real

installments, amortized over the maximum time period allowed by applicable law.
Upon written request by Tenant, and reasonable approval by Landlord, and subject
to Landlord's right to include as Operating Expenses all applicable costs and
expenses, Landlord shall contest any unreasonable Real Estate Taxes.

          Rent:  Base Rent, Escalation Rent and all other additional charges and
          ----

          Rentable Area:  As to a floor leased entirely by Tenant, all areas
          -------------                                                     
within exterior permanent Building walls measured to the inside glass surface of
outer Building walls, including restrooms, janitor, telephone and electrical
closets, mechanical areas, and columns and projections necessary to the
Building, but excluding public stairs, elevator shafts and pipe shafts.  As to a
floor only a portion of which is leased by Tenant, the aggregate of (i) the
Leased Area (as defined below) of the portion of the floor occupied by Tenant,
plus (ii) the result obtained by multiplying (1) the area of the Common Area (as
defined below) on such floor by (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Leased
Area of Tenant's portion of the floor and whose denominator is the Leased Area
of all tenant space on such floor, plus (iii) in the event that Landlord must
enlarge or alter in any way, shape or fashion the Common Area to accommodate
Tenant's Leased Area, the total additional Common Area space.  For purposes
hereof, "Leased Area" shall mean all floor area in a tenant space, measured to
the inside glass surface of exterior Building walls, to the center of corridors
and other permanent partitions, and to the center of partitions that separate
tenant space from adjoining tenant spaces, without deduction for columns and
projections necessary to the Building; and "Common Area" shall mean the total
area on a floor consisting of restrooms, janitor, telephone and electrical
closets, mechanical areas and public corridors providing access to tenant space
on such floor, but excluding public stairs, elevator shafts and pipe shafts.

          Shopping Center: The retail center and movie theater located on the

          Tenant's Percentage Share:  The percentage figure specified in the
          -------------------------                                         
Basic Lease Information.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant's
Percentage Share has been obtained by dividing the Rentable Area of the
Premises, as specified  in the Basic Lease Information by the total Rentable
Area of the office portion of the Building, and multiplying such quotient by one
hundred (100).  In the event Tenant's Percentage Share is changed during a
Fiscal Year by reason of a change in the Rentable Area of the Premises or a
change in the total Rentable Area of the Building, Tenant's Percentage Share
shall thereafter mean the result obtained by dividing the then Rentable Area of
the Premises by the then total Rentable Area of the Building and multiplying
such quotient by one hundred (100).  For the purposes of determining Tenant's
Percentage Share of Escalation Rent, Tenant's Percentage Share shall be
determined on the basis of the number of days during such Fiscal Year at each
such Percentage Share.

          Term: The period from the Commencement Date to the Expiration
          ----                                                         
Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof).

          Termination Payment: An amount equal to 1/12th of the sum of: (i)
          -------------------                                              
$657,460.80, plus (ii) the Amortized Amount, defined below.  The term "Amortized
Amount" shall equal the unamortized portion, as of December 31, 1999, of the sum
of the following: (A) the Base Allowance actually expended by Landlord pursuant
to the terms of the Work Letter plus (B) all leasing commissions payable by
Landlord in connection with this Lease or Tenant's rental of the Premises.  For
purposes of determining the Amortized Amount, the amounts described in the
foregoing sentence shall be amortized over the Initial Term in equal monthly
amounts, at an interest rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum.

          Wattage Allowance:  The product obtained by multiplying the Rentable
          -----------------                                                   
Area of the Premises by 4.5 watts.  "Lighting Wattage Allowance" means thirty-
three percent (33%) of the Wattage Allowance.

          1.2.  Effect of Certain Defined Terms.  The parties acknowledge that
                -------------------------------                               
the Rentable Area of the Premises and the Building have been finally determined
by the parties as part of this Lease for all purposes, including the calculation
of Tenant's Percentage Share and will not, except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, be changed.

     2.  Lease of Premises.
         ----------------- 

          2.1.  Premises.  Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from
                --------                                                   
Landlord the Premises, together with the non-exclusive right to use, in common
with others, the lobbies, entrances, stairs, elevators, plazas, pedestrian
walkways, restrooms, and other public portions of the Building, all subject to
the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease.  All the windows
and exterior walls of the Premises, the terraces adjacent to the Premises, if
any, and any space in the Premises used for shafts, columns, projections,
stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, electric utilities, sinks or other Building
facilities, and the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the
purposes of management, operation, maintenance and repairs,  are reserved to
Landlord.
 
     3.  Term; Condition and Acceptance of Premises.
         ------------------------------------------ 

                                      -4-

 
          3.1 Initial Term and Acceptance of Premises.  Except as hereinafter
              ---------------------------------------                        
provided, and unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease,
the Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the
Expiration Date.  Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the
Commencement Date in accordance with the provisions of  the Tenant Improvement
Agreement attached to this Lease as Exhibit C (the "Work Letter").   Subject to
                                    ---------                                  
the provisions of Section 7 of the Work Letter, the "Commencement Date" shall be
the earlier of: (i) the date Landlord offers to deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant following temporary approval by the applicable building
inspector sufficient to permit Tenant to legally occupy the Premises and
substantial completion of all improvements to be constructed by Landlord
pursuant to the Work Letter, except for punchlist items which do not materially
interfere with Tenant's ability to use the Premises and such work as Landlord is
required to perform but cannot complete until Tenant performs necessary portions
of construction work it has elected or is required to do, or (ii) the date
Tenant enters into occupancy of the entire Premises and commences the operation
of its normal business activities.  If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever,
cannot deliver the Premises to Tenant in the condition specified herein by
November 1, 1997, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, and Landlord shall
not be in default or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom; provided, however, that if Landlord cannot deliver the Premises to
Tenant in the condition specified (except to the extent any delay is caused by
Tenant) on or before March 31, 1998, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease (without liability to Tenant or Landlord) by delivering
written notice to Landlord at any time before April 10, 1998, but not after
delivery of the Premises.  No delay in delivery of the Premises for any reason
whatsoever shall operate to extend the Expiration Date or the Term. Upon the
occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a
Confirmation of Lease Term in the form as set forth in Exhibit E attached to
                                                       ---------            
this Lease.  Tenant's occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises shall
constitute Tenant's acceptance of the Premises in the condition called for by
this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that
Landlord may deliver a portion of the Premises (which portion is not less than a
full floor, and does not contain any part that is a partial floor) to Tenant
before substantial completion of the entire Premises.  Upon such partial
delivery, Tenant shall have the right to occupy such portion of the Premises in
accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease, but the Commencement Date
shall not be deemed to have occurred until the matters described in items (i)
and (ii) of this Section 3.1 are satisfied.

          3.2  Option to Extend.
               ---------------- 

          3.2.1. Exercise of Option to Extend Term.  If no "Suspension
                 ---------------------------------                    
Condition" (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of Tenant's exercise of
an option to extend the Initial Term or at the commencement of either Extended
Term, as the case may be, Tenant shall have two (2) options (collectively, the
"Extension Options" and individually, an "Extension Option") to extend the
Initial Term for an additional period of three (3) years (collectively, the
"Extended Terms" and individually, an "Extended Term").  To exercise Tenant's
option with respect to an Extended Term, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord
not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or
the first Extended Term, as the case may be  ("Election Notice").  A "Suspension
Condition" shall mean the existence of any event or condition of default with
respect to an obligation to pay money where notice of default has been given by
Landlord and such default has not been cured by Tenant.  Tenant's exercise of
any Extension Option shall in no way result in, or constitute, a waiver by
Landlord of any default by Tenant under this Lease.

          3.2.2.  Fair Market Rent.  If Tenant properly and timely exercises
                  ----------------                                          
Tenant's option to extend pursuant to Section 3.2.1 above, such extension shall
be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; provided,
however, that the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the first Extended
Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Rent as of the last month of the
Initial Term, or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the "Fair Market Rent" for
space comparable to the Premises as of the commencement of the first Extended
Term, and the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the second Extended Term
shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Rent as of the last month of the first
Extended Term, or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the "Fair Market Rent" for
space comparable to the Premises as of the commencement of the second Extended
Term .  "Fair Market Rent" shall mean the annual rental being charged for space
comparable to the Premises in a steel-frame comparable first-class office
building in the Berkeley/Emeryville area, taking into account location, parking,
condition and improvements to the space (excluding the value of improvements to
the extent such improvements were paid for by Tenant).  Tenant shall pay all
leasing commissions and consulting fees payable in connection with such
extensions, unless such leasing commissions or consulting fees arise solely out
of a contractual relationship between Landlord and a broker or consultant.  All
other terms and conditions of the Lease, which may be amended from time to time
by the parties in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, shall remain in
full force and effect and shall apply during the Extended Terms, except that:
(i) the Extension Option for the second Extended Term may not be exercised
unless the Extension Option for the first Extended Term was properly exercised,
(ii) there shall be no further option to extend the Term beyond a date six (6)
years after the expiration of the 

                                      -5-

 
Initial Term, (iii) there shall be no further rent concessions, and (iv) there
shall be no tenant improvement allowance and similar provisions.

          3.2.3.  Determination of Rent.  Within thirty (30) days after the date
                  ---------------------                                         
of the Election Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith in an
attempt to determine Fair Market Rent for the Extended Term.  If they are unable
to agree within said thirty (30) day period, then the Fair Market Rent shall be
determined as provided in Section 3.2.4 below.

          3.2.4.  Appraisal.  If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair
                  ---------                                                
Market Rent for the Premises by appraisal, the real estate appraiser(s)
indicated in this Section 3.2.4, each of whom shall be members of the American
Institute of real Estate Appraisers and each of whom have at least five (5)
years experience appraising office space located in the vicinity of the
Premises, shall be appointed and shall act in accordance with the following
procedures:

          (i)  If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent within
the allowed time, either party may demand an appraisal by giving written notice
to the other party, which demand to be effective must state the name, address
and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the party demanding the appraisal
("Notifying Party").  Within ten (10) days following the Notifying Party's
appraisal demand, the other party ("Non-Notifying Party") shall either approve
the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party or select a second properly
qualified appraiser by giving written notice of the name, address and
qualification of said appraiser to the Notifying Party.  If the Non-Notifying
Party fails to select an appraiser within the ten (10) day period, the appraiser
selected by the Notifying Party shall be deemed selected by both parties and no
other appraiser shall be selected.  If two (2) appraisers are selected, they
shall select a third appropriately qualified appraiser.  If the two (2)
appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall
be appointed by the then presiding judge of the county where the Premises are
located upon application by either party.

          (ii)  If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify
the parties in simple letter form of its determination of the Fair Market Rent
for the Premises within fifteen (15) days following his or her selection, which
appraisal shall be conclusively determinative and binding on the parties as the
appraised Fair Market Rent.

          (iii)  If multiple appraisers are selected, the appraisers shall meet
not later than ten (10) days following the selection of the last appraiser.  At
such meeting, the appraisers shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Rent for
the Premises as of the commencement date of the Extended Term in question by the
agreement of at least two (2) of the appraisers.

          (iv)  If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on the Fair Market
Rent for the Premises at the initial meeting, such agreement shall be
determinative and binding upon the parties hereto and the agreeing appraisers
shall forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such
agreement.  If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2) appraisers are
unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises, each appraiser shall
submit to Landlord and Tenant his or her respective independent appraisal of the
Fair Market Rent for the Premises, in simple letter form, within twenty (20)
days following appointment of the final appraiser.  The parties shall then
determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises by averaging the appraisals;
provided that any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by
more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in
calculating the average.

          (v)  If only one (1) appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay
one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of that appraiser.  If three (3)
appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the
appraiser it selects and one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third
appraiser.

          (vi)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 3.2, in no event shall the Base Rent for the Extended Term be less than
the Base Rent immediately preceding the Extended Term.

          3.2.5.  Restriction on Assignment.  The Extension Options shall be
                  -------------------------                                 
personal to Scopus Technology, Inc. and any Exempt Transferee, shall not be
assignable or transferable (except in connection with an Exempt Transfer or an
Exempt Sublease), and shall terminate upon any assignment or sublease of all or
any portion of the Lease and/or Premises (except in connection with an Exempt
Transfer or an Exempt Sublease).

          3.2.6.  Amendment to Lease.  Immediately after the Fair Market

                                      -6-

forth the Base Rent for the applicable Extended Term and shall also state the
new Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease.

     3.3.  Right of First Offer.
           -------------------- 

          3.3.1.  Grant of Right of First Offer.  If at any time during the Term
                  -----------------------------                                 
of the Lease Landlord desires to lease any remaining space on floors 2 - 8 of
the Building (or any space in the adjacent building (commonly known as 5800
Shellmound) described in Exhibit F attached to this Lease), to a third party
                         ---------                                          
unaffiliated (by means of a direct or indirect ownership of 5% of more) with an
existing tenant of such space and unaffiliated (by means of a direct or indirect
ownership of 5% of more) with anyone possessing legal rights in such space as of
the date of this Lease, then Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer with
respect to such space (the "Offered Space") on the terms described in this
Section 3.3.

          3.3.2. Procedure.  When Landlord is prepared to lease the Offered
                 ---------                                                 
Space, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the lease provisions upon
which Landlord would be willing to lease the Offered Space to third parties (the
"Offer Notice").  If Tenant desires to lease the Offered Space upon the lease
provisions described by Landlord in the Offer Notice, then Tenant shall notify
Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of the Offer Notice of Tenant's
election to exercise Tenant's Right of First Offer hereunder.  If Tenant
exercises its Right of First Offer in a timely manner, then Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a form of lease amendment incorporating the terms of the Offer
Notice and amending the Lease to include the Offered Space.  Tenant shall
thereafter execute such lease amendment within ten (10) days following its
receipt thereof.  If (i) Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its exercise of its
Right of First Offer within the required ten (10) day period, or (ii) if Tenant
fails to execute the lease amendment for the Offered Space within the required
ten (10) day period, then Landlord may lease the Offered Space to a third party
free and clear of any rights of Tenant, and Tenant shall have no further rights
under this Section 3.3 with respect to the applicable Offered Space until the
expiration of such new lease (and any extensions thereof); provided, however,
that if the Offer Notice is delivered to Tenant after November 1, 1998 and if
Tenant has not exercised its option to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section
3.4 below, or if the Offer Notice is delivered to Tenant prior to such date and
Tenant has irrevocably waived its termination right set forth in section 3.4,
then the right of first offer set forth in this Section 3.3 shall reattach if
Landlord does not lease the Offered Space at a net effective rental rate equal
to 90% or more of the net effective rental rate set forth in the Offer Notice.

          3.3.3.  Right Personal.  The Right of First Offer set forth in this
                  --------------                                             
Section 3.3 is personal to Scopus Technology, Inc., is not transferable or
assignable (except in connection with an Exempt Transfer or an Exempt Sublease),
and shall terminate upon any assignment of the Lease or subleases which, in the
aggregate, affect more than 25% of the Premises (excluding sublease or
assignments to Exempt Transferees.

          3.3.4.  Default.  If Tenant is in default under this Lease at the time
                  -------                                                       
Tenant receives an Offer Notice (and Tenant has failed to cure such default
within any applicable grace period), Landlord shall not be obligated to
negotiate with Tenant with respect to such Offered Space, Tenant's rights under
this Section 3.3 shall automatically terminate with respect to the applicable
Offered Space, and Tenant shall have no further Right of First Offer as to such
Offered Space.  If Landlord and Tenant agree upon mutually acceptable lease
terms with respect to the Offered Space but Tenant is in default under this
Lease at the time Landlord is obligated to provide a lease amendment to Tenant
or on the date the term of such lease amendment is to commence, and if Tenant
does not cure such default within any applicable grace period, then Landlord
shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with such lease amendment, and at
Landlord's option, Tenant's rights under this Section 3.3 shall terminate with
respect to the applicable Offered Space and Tenant shall have no further Right
of First Offer as to such Offered Space.

     3.4.  Tenant's Right to Terminate.  Tenant shall have the right to
           ---------------------------                                 
terminate the Lease as to the entire Premises, but only if Tenant notifies
Landlord in writing, in the manner required by Section 28 of this Lease, on or
before January 1, 1999.  In the event of Tenant's election to terminate the
Lease, such termination shall be effective as of December 31, 1999 and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent (in addition to Base Rent and
Escalation Rent) and as a condition precedent to Tenant's right so to terminate
the Lease, an amount equal to the Termination Payment for each of the months
from January 1, 1999 to and including December 31, 1999 (in addition to all
other amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease), such
amount to be payable on or before the first day of each such month; provided,
however, that if this Lease terminates pursuant to the provisions of Articles 12
or 13, then Tenant's obligation to continue to pay any future installments of
the Termination Payment shall

                                      -7-

 
cease as of the date of such termination.

     4.  Rent.
         ---- 

          4.1.  Obligation to Pay Base Rent.  Tenant shall pay Base Rent to
                ---------------------------                                
Landlord, in advance, in equal monthly installments, commencing on or before the
later of: (i) the Commencement Date, or (ii) July 1, 1997 (such later date shall
be referred to as the "Rent Commencement Date"), and thereafter on or before the
first day of each calendar month during the Term.  If the Rent Commencement Date
and/or Expiration Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the
installment of Base Rent for the first and/or last fractional month of the Term
shall be prorated on a daily basis.  Within three (3) business days of full
execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first month's Base
Rent.

          4.2.  Manner of Rent Payment.  All Rent shall be paid by Tenant
                ----------------------                                   
without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the
United States of America, payable to Landlord, at Landlord's Address as set
forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other
place as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.

          4.3.  Additional Rent.  All Rent not characterized as Base Rent or
                ---------------                                             
Escalation Rent shall constitute additional rent, and if payable to Landlord
shall, unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable fifteen (15)
days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor.

          4.4.  Late Payment of Rent; Interest.  Tenant acknowledges that late
                ------------------------------                                
payment by Tenant of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely
difficult and impracticable to ascertain based on the facts and circumstances
pertaining as of the Lease Date.  Accordingly, if any Rent is not paid by Tenant
within five (5) days after Landlord's delivery of notice of payment due, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, with such Rent, a late charge equal to five percent (5%)
of such Rent; provided, however, that if Tenant is obligated to pay two (2) late
charges in any calendar year, then during the remainder of the calendar year
Tenant shall be obligated to pay a late charge equal to eight percent (8%) of
such unpaid Rent if such Rent is not paid on or before the due date.  Any Rent,
other than late charges, due Landlord under this Lease, if not paid when due,
shall also bear interest from the date due until paid, at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the
highest rate legally permitted.  The parties acknowledge that such late charge
and interest represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative
costs and loss of use of funds Landlord will incur by reason of a late Rent
payment by Tenant, but Landlord's acceptance of such late charge and/or interest
shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such Rent or
prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided under
this Lease, at law or in equity.

     5.  Calculation and Payments of Escalation Rent.  During each full or
         -------------------------------------------                      
partial Fiscal Year of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Escalation Rent in
accordance with the following procedures:

          5.1.  Payment of Estimated Escalation Rent.  During the last month of
                ------------------------------------                           
the Base Year and the last month of each fiscal Year, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of Escalation
Rent due for the next ensuing Fiscal Year.  On or before the first day of each
month during such next ensuing Fiscal Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in
advance, in addition to Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated
Escalation Rent.  In the event such notice is given after December 31st of any
year during the Term, (i) Tenant shall continue to pay Escalation Rent on the
basis of the prior Fiscal Year's estimate until the month after such notice is
given, (ii) subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based of the estimate of
Escalation Rent set forth in Landlord's notice, and (iii) with the first monthly
payment of Escalation Rent based on the estimate set forth in Landlord's notice,
Tenant shall also pay the difference, if any, between the amount previously paid
for such Fiscal Year and the amount which Tenant would have paid through the
month in which such notice is given, based on Landlord's noticed estimate or, in
the alternative, if such amount previously paid by Tenant for such Fiscal Year
through the month in which such notice is given exceeds the amount which Tenant
would have paid through such month based on Landlord's noticed estimate,
Landlord shall credit such excess amount against the next monthly payments of
Rent due from Tenant.  If at any time Landlord reasonably determines that the
Escalation Rent for the current Fiscal Year will vary from Landlord's estimate
by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise its
estimate for such Fiscal Year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such Fiscal
Year shall be based upon such revised estimate.

          5.2.  Escalation Rent Statement and Adjustment.  Within one hundred
                ----------------------------------------                     
twenty (120) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a

                                      -8-

 
statement of the actual Escalation Rent for such Fiscal Year, accompanied by a
statement prepared by Landlord showing in reasonable detail the Operating
Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes comprising the actual Escalation Rent.  If
Landlord's statement shows that Tenant owes an amount less than the payments
previously made by Tenant for such Fiscal Year, Landlord shall credit the
difference first against any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord and then
against the next payment or payments of Rent due Landlord, except that if a
credit amount is due Tenant after termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay
to Tenant any excess remaining after Landlord credits such amount against any
sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.  If Landlord's statement shows that Tenant owes
an amount more than the payments previously made by Tenant for such Fiscal Year,
Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
delivery of the statement.  Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord's
calculation of Operating Expenses, subject to the following limitations: (i)
such audit shall be conducted no more than one time per calendar year, (ii)
Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses (including a
reasonable allocation of Landlord's internal overhead costs) incurred in
connection with facilitating and monitoring such audit, (iii) such audit may not
be conducted by a person or entity whose compensation is in any way calculated
based on the results of such audit, (iv) Landlord shall pay Tenant's reasonable
out-of-pocket cost (but not to exceed $3,000.00) of any such audit undertaken by
Tenant in accordance with the foregoing which is reasonably approved by Landlord
and which discloses an overstatement of Operating Expenses of more than five
percent (5%), and (v) if at the time of the performance of the audit the
Landlord under this Lease is Teacher's, defined below, then Tenant shall only
have the right to examine Teachers' books which related to the Operating
Expenses in question..

          5.3.  Proration for Partial Year.  If this Lease terminates other than
                --------------------------                                      
on the last day of a Fiscal Year (other than due to Tenant's default), the
amount of Escalation Rent for such fractional Fiscal Year shall be prorated on a
daily basis.  Upon such termination, Landlord may, at its option, calculate the
adjustment in Escalation Rent prior to the time specified in Section 5.2 above.
                                                             -----------        
Tenant's obligation to pay Escalation Rent, as set forth in Paragraph 5.2,
above, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.  Upon
expiration, either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall make any
payments to the other necessary to refund or pay any excess or underpayment of
Escalation Rent.

     6.  Impositions Payable by Tenant.  Tenant shall pay all Impositions prior
         -----------------------------                                         
to delinquency.  If billed directly to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such Impositions
and concurrently deliver to Landlord evidence of such payments.  If any
Impositions are billed to Landlord or included in bills to Landlord for Real
Estate Taxes or other charges, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such
amounts within fifteen (15) days after delivery of Landlord's invoice therefor.
If applicable law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing Landlord for an Imposition,
but Landlord may lawfully increase the Base Rent to account for Landlord's
payment of such Imposition, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased
to net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such Imposition as
would have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of such Imposition.
Tenant's obligation to pay Impositions which have accrued and remain unpaid upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease.

     7.  Use of Premises.
         --------------- 

          7.1.  Permitted Use.  The Premises shall be used solely for the
                -------------                                            
Permitted Use and for no other use or purpose.

          7.2.  No Violation of Legal and Insurance Requirements.  Tenant shall
                ------------------------------------------------               
not do or permit to be done, or bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept,
in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Marketplace, anything
which (i) is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any law, ordinance,
rule or regulation; (ii) would invalidate or be in conflict with the provisions
of any insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant on any portion of the
Marketplace or Premises, or any property therein; or (iii) would cause a
cancellation of any such insurance, increase the existing rate of (unless Tenant
actually pays 100% of such increased premium) or materially and adversely affect
any such Landlord's insurance, or subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury to any person or property.  If Tenant does or permits
anything to be done which increases the cost of any of Landlord's insurance, or
which results in the need, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, for additional
insurance by Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the Marketplace
or Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any such
additional costs or the costs of such additional insurance, and/or procure such
additional insurance at Tenant's sole cost and expense.   Exercise by Landlord
of such right to require reimbursement of additional costs (including the costs
of procuring of additional insurance) shall not limit or preclude Landlord from
prohibiting Tenant's impermissible use of the Premises or from invoking any
other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease.

                                      -9-

 
          7.3.  Compliance with Legal, Insurance and Life Safety Requirements.
                -------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as provided in clauses (i) through (iii) below, Tenant, at its cost and
expense, shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations,
orders and other governmental requirements, the requirements of any board of
fire underwriters or other similar body, any directive or occupancy certificate
issued pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers, the provisions of
all recorded documents affecting any portion of the Marketplace and all life
safety programs, procedures and rules implemented or promulgated by Landlord
("Laws").  Tenant shall not, however, be required to comply with Laws requiring
improvements to the Marketplace (or any part thereof, including the Premises)
except to the extent necessitated, in whole or in part, by (i) Tenant's specific
or unique use or occupancy of, or business conducted in, the Premises, (ii) any
acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or
licensees, or (iii) Alterations (including any alterations, additions or other
improvements to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial
improvement of the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter).

          7.4.  No Nuisance.  Tenant shall not (i) do or permit anything to be
                -----------                                                   
done in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Marketplace, which
would injure or annoy, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of, Landlord or
other occupants of the Marketplace, or others lawfully in or about the
Marketplace; (ii) use or allow the Premises to be used in any manner
inappropriate for a Class A office building, or for any improper or
objectionable purposes; or (iii) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste
in, on or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Marketplace.

          7.5.  Hazardous Substances.  The term "hazardous substances" as used
                --------------------                                          
in the Lease, is defined as follows:

     Any element, compound, mixture, solution, particle or substance, which
     presents danger or potential danger of damage or injury to health, welfare
     or to the environment including, but not limited to:  (i) those substances
     which are inherently or potentially radioactive, explosive, ignitable,
     corrosive, reactive, carcinogenic or toxic and (ii) those substances which
     have been recognized as dangerous or potentially dangerous to health,
     welfare or to the environment by any federal, municipal, state, county or
     other governmental or quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or
     agency thereof, including, but not limited to, hazardous substances and
     materials described in CERCLA, as amended, and in any applicable state or
     local laws and regulations adopted thereunder.

     Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord and agrees that at all times
during the term of this Lease and any extensions or renewals thereof, Tenant
shall:

          (i)  promptly comply at Tenant's sole cost and expense, with all laws,
     orders, rules, regulations, certificates of occupancy, or other
     requirements, as the same now exist or may hereafter be enacted, amended or
     promulgated, of any federal, municipal, state, county or other governmental
     or quasi-governmental authorities and/or any department or agency thereof
     relating to the manufacturing, processing, distributing, using, producing,
     treating, storing (above or below ground level), disposing or allowing to
     be present (the "Environmental Activity") of hazardous substances in or
     about the Premises (each, a "Law", and all of them, "Laws") by Tenant , its
     assignees and subtenants, and their respective agents, employees,
     contractors and invitees, and Tenant shall not allow the release or escape
     of any hazardous substances in or about the Building.

          (ii)  indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents and employees, harmless
     from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, penalties, liabilities,
     judgments, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses
     (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees)
     incurred by Landlord as a result of (a) Tenant's failure or delay in
     properly complying with any Law, or (b) any adverse effect which results
     from the Environmental Activity, whether Tenant or Tenant's subtenants or
     any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or invitees, with or
     without Tenant's consent has caused, either intentionally or
     unintentionally, such Environmental Activity.  If any action or proceeding
     is brought against Landlord, its agents or employees by reason of any such
     claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, will defend such claim at
     Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  This
     indemnity obligation by Tenant of Landlord will survive the expiration or
     earlier termination of this Lease.

          (iii)  promptly disclose to Landlord by delivering, in the manner
     prescribed for delivery

                                      -10-

 
     of notice in this Lease, a copy of any forms, submissions, notices,
     reports, or other written documentation (each, a "Communication") relating
     to any Environmental Activity, whether any such Communication is delivered
     to Tenant or any of its subtenants or is requested of Tenant or any of its
     subtenants  by any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or
     quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency thereof.

          (iv)  in the event there is a release of any hazardous substance as a
     result of or in connection with any Environmental Activity by Tenant or any
     of Tenant's subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees,
     contractors or invitees, which must be remediated under any Law, Landlord
     shall perform the necessary remediation; and Tenant shall reimburse
     Landlord for all costs thereby incurred within fifteen (15) days after
     delivery of a written demand therefor from Landlord (which shall be
     accompanied by reasonable substantiation of such costs).  In the
     alternative, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, at its sole
     cost and expense, to perform the necessary remediation in accordance with a
     detailed plan of remediation which shall have been approved in advance in
     writing by Landlord.  Landlord shall give notice to Tenant within thirty
     (30) days after Landlord receives notice or obtains knowledge of the
     required remediation.  The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant
     set forth in this subparagraph (iv) shall survive the expiration or earlier
     termination of this Lease.

          (v)  notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, allow
     Landlord, and any authorized representative of Landlord, access and the
     right to enter and inspect the Premises for Environmental Activity, at any
     time deemed reasonable by Landlord, without prior notice to Tenant.

     Compliance by Tenant with any provision of this Section 7.5 shall not be
     deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Lease.  Without limiting the
     foregoing, Landlord's consent to any Environmental Activity shall not
     relieve Tenant of its indemnity obligations under the terms hereof.

acceptance by Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or other representatives,
shall be deemed an agreement, acknowledgment, warranty, or other representation
by Landlord that Tenant has complied with the ADA or that any action, alteration
or

                                      -11-

 
improvement by Tenant complies or will comply with the ADA or constitutes a
waiver by Landlord of Tenant's obligations to comply with the ADA under this
Lease or otherwise.  Any failure of Landlord to comply with the obligations of
the ADA shall not relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease or
constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant or
disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises.

     8.  Building Services.
         ----------------- 

          8.1.  Maintenance of Marketplace.  Landlord shall maintain the
                --------------------------                              
Marketplace (other than the Premises and the premises of other tenants of the
Marketplace) in good order and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear,
damage by casualty or condemnation, or damage occasioned by the act or omission
of Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees,
which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant's expense (subject to the
provisions of Section 15).  Landlord's maintenance of, and provision of services

comparable office buildings in the Emeryville/Oakland, California area.
Landlord shall have the right in connection with its maintenance of the
Marketplace hereunder (i) to change the arrangement and/or location of any
amenity, installation or improvement in the public entrances, stairways,
corridors, elevators and elevator lobbies, and other public areas in the
Building, or other public areas of the Marketplace, and (ii) to utilize portions
of the public areas in the Building and the Marketplace from time to time for
entertainment, displays, product shows, leasing of kiosks or such other uses
that in Landlord's sole judgment tend to attract the public, so long as such
uses do not materially interfere with or impair Tenant's access to or use or
occupancy of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no right
to make any modifications to the lobby of the Building (unless required by
applicable law) that would materially and adversely affect the overall quality
of the lobby of the Building provided further, however, that Landlord shall have
no right to make any alterations within the Premises unless required by
applicable law.  Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease or liable for
any damages directly or indirectly resulting from or incidental to, nor shall
the rental reserved in this Lease be abated by reason of, Landlord's failure to
make any repair or to perform any maintenance required to be made or performed
by Landlord under this Section 8.1, unless such failure shall persist for an
unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repair or
maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.

          8.2.  Building Standard Services.  Landlord shall cause to be
                --------------------------

volumes provided for general use of tenants in the Building; (ii) electricity up
to the Wattage Allowance for lighting and the operation of electrically powered
office equipment; (iii) heat, ventilation and air conditioning to the extent
reasonably required for the comfortable occupancy by Tenant of the Premises
during the period from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays (except Building

any applicable policies, regulations or guidelines adopted by any federal, state
or local governmental or quasi-governmental entities or utility suppliers; (iv)
passenger elevator service; (v) freight elevator service subject to then
applicable Building standard procedures and scheduling; (vi) lighting
replacement for Building standard lights; (vii) restroom supplies; (viii) window

week basis (excluding Building holidays), except for portions of the Premises
used for preparing or consuming food or beverages; and (x) security if and to
the extent deemed appropriate by Landlord for the Marketplace (but not
individually for Tenant or the Premises), except that Landlord shall not be
liable in any manner for acts of others, criminal or otherwise, or for any
direct, consequential or other loss, damage, death or injury related to any
interruption, discontinuance, malfunction, circumvention or failure of such
security service.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the services
described in items (i) - (iv) above to be provided 24 hours per day.  Landlord
may establish in the Premises or other portions of the Marketplace such measures
as are required by laws, ordinances, rules or regulations or as it deems
necessary or appropriate (and are customary in comparable buildings in the
vicinity of the Building) to conserve energy, including automatic switching of
lights and/or more efficient forms of lighting.

          8.3.  Interruption or Unavailability of Services.  Rent shall not
                ------------------------------------------                 
abate, no constructive or other eviction shall be construed to have occurred,
Tenant shall not be relieved from any of its obligations under this Lease, and
Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or liable for any damages directly or
indirectly resulting from, the failure of Landlord to furnish, or delay in
furnishing, any maintenance or services under this Article 8 as a result of
                                                   ---------               
repairs, alterations, improvements or any circumstances beyond Landlord's
reasonable control.  Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to remedy any
failure or interruption in the furnishing of such maintenance or services and
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's
operation in connection with any repairs, alterations, or improvements
undertaken by Landlord.

                                      -12-

 
          8.4.  Tenant's Use of Excess Electricity and Water.  Tenant shall not,
                --------------------------------------------                    
without Landlord's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, (i)
install in the Premises (A) lighting, the aggregate average daily power usage of
which exceeds the Lighting Wattage Allowance, or lighting and equipment, the
aggregate average daily power usage of which exceeds the Wattage Allowance, or
which requires a voltage other than 110 volts single-phase, (B) heat generating
equipment or lighting other than lights deemed standard for the Building, or (C)
supplementary air conditioning facilities, or (ii) permit occupancy levels in
excess of one person per one hundred sixty-five (165) feet of Rentable Area.
If, pursuant to this Section 8.4, heat-generating equipment or lighting other
                     -----------                                             
than Building standard lights are installed or used in the Premises, or
occupancy levels are greater than set forth above, or if the Premises or
fixtures therein are reconfigured by Alterations, and such equipment, lighting,
occupancy levels or Premises reconfiguration affects the temperature otherwise
maintained by the Building air conditioning system, or if equipment is installed
in the Premises which requires a separate temperature-controlled room, Landlord
may, at Landlord's election after notice to Tenant or upon Tenant's request,
install supplementary air conditioning facilities in the Premises, or otherwise
modify the ventilating and air conditioning serving the Premises, in order to
maintain the temperature otherwise maintained by the Building air conditioning
system or to serve such separate temperature-controlled room.  Tenant shall pay
the cost of any transformers, additional risers, panel boards and other
facilities if, when and to the extent required to furnish power for, and all
maintenance and service costs of, any supplementary air conditioning facilities
or modified ventilating and air conditioning, or for lighting and/or equipment
the power usage of which exceeds the standards set forth in this Section 8.4.
                                                                 -----------  
The capital, maintenance and service costs of such facilities and modifications
shall be paid by Tenant as Rent.  Landlord, at its election and at Tenant's
expense, may also install and maintain an electric current meter or water meter
(together with all necessary wiring and related equipment) at the Premises to
measure the power and/or water usage of such lighting, equipment or ventilation
and air conditioning equipment, or may otherwise cause such usage to be measured
by reasonable methods.

          8.5.  Provision of Additional Services.  If Tenant desires services in
                --------------------------------                                
additional amounts or at different times than set forth in Section 8.2 above, or
                                                           -----------          
any other services that are not provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall make a
request for such services to Landlord with such advance notice as Landlord may
reasonably require.  If Landlord provides such services to Tenant, Tenant shall
pay Landlord's actual cost plus 10%  for such services within fifteen (15) days
after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's invoice, except that (i) electricity shall
be charged at Landlord's actual cost, (ii) the initial charge for additional
HVAC service provided by the Building central system shall be at the rate of
$28.00/hour/floor (the "HVAC Additional Rate"); (iii) the initial charge for
additional ventilation service provided by the Building central system shall be
at the rate of $10.00/hour/floor (the "Ventilation Additional Rate") provided,
however, that Landlord shall have the right, from time to time during the Term,
to increase the HVAC Additional Rate and the Ventilation Additional Rate to
reflect increases in Landlord's actual cost for providing additional HVAC
service and ventilation service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time
Teachers becomes the Landlord under this Lease, then during the time that
Teachers is the Landlord under this Lease the amounts charged by Landlord under
items (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8.5 shall be charged at Landlord's
actual cost.

     9.  Maintenance of Premises.  Tenant shall, at all times during the Term,
         -----------------------                                              
at Tenant's cost and expense, keep the Premises in good condition and repair,
except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation.
Except as may be specifically set forth in this Lease (including the Work Letter
attached to this Lease as Exhibit C), Landlord has no obligation to alter,
remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises, or any part thereof,
or any obligation respecting the condition, maintenance and repair of the
Premises or any other portion of the Marketplace.  Tenant hereby waives all
rights, including those provided in California Civil Code Section 1941 or any
successor statute, to make repairs which are Landlord's obligation under this
Lease at the expense of Landlord or to receive any setoff or abatement of Rent
or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises or terminate this Lease.

     10.  Alterations to Premises.
          ----------------------- 

          10.1.  Landlord Consent; Procedure.  Tenant shall not make or permit
                 ---------------------------                                  
to be made any Alterations without Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and in this regard (i) Landlord's consent shall
not be required for nonstructural interior alterations costing less than
$10,000.00 per work of improvement, and (ii) Landlord's consent shall not be
required for the installation of demountable walls and partitions not affixed to
the floor rendering the carpets unuseable.  Any Alterations to which Landlord
has consented shall be made in accordance with procedures as then established by
Landlord and the provisions of this Article 10.
                                    ---------- 

                                      -13-

 
          10.2.  General Requirements.  All Alterations shall be made at
                 --------------------                                   
Tenant's cost and expense.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for compliance
with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations in connection with all
Alterations.  Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any additional
alterations required by applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations to be
made by Landlord to any portion of the Marketplace as a result of Alterations.
Tenant shall promptly commence or cause the commencement of construction of all
Alterations and complete or cause completion of the same with due diligence as
soon as possible after commencement in order to cause the least disruption to
Marketplace operations and occupants and to continue Tenant's business in the
Premises.  In connection with installing or removing Alterations, Tenant shall
pay Landlord's then standard charges for review and approval of Tenant's plans,
specifications and working drawings, and administration by Landlord (or its
agent) of the construction, installation or removal of Alterations, and
restoration of the Premises to their previous condition.

          10.3.  Removal of Alterations.  If required by Landlord at the time
                 ----------------------                                      
Landlord provides consent to an Alteration, Tenant shall, prior to the
expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease, remove such Alteration at
Tenant's cost and expense and restore the Premises to the condition existing
prior to the installation of such Alteration.  If Tenant fails so to do, then
Landlord may remove such Alteration and perform such restoration and Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's cost and expense incurred to perform
such removal and restoration (which obligation of Tenant shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease).  Tenant shall repair at its
cost and expense all damage to the Premises or Marketplace caused by the removal
of such Alteration.  Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding removal, all
Alterations (including any above Building standard improvements to the Premises)
shall be Landlord's property and from and after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease shall remain on the Premises without compensation to
Tenant.

     11.  Liens.  Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Marketplace free from
          -----                                                               
any liens arising out of any work performed or obligations incurred by or for,
or materials furnished to, Tenant pursuant to this Lease or otherwise.  Landlord
shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices
required by law or which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of
Landlord, the Premises and the Marketplace from such liens and to take any other
action at the expense of Tenant that Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to
prevent, remove or discharge such liens.  Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim, demand, cause
of action, obligation, liability, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) which may be asserted against or incurred by Landlord as a
result of Tenant's failure to comply with the foregoing obligation (which
indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease).

     12.  Damage or Destruction.
          --------------------- 

          12.1.  Obligation to Repair.  Except as otherwise provided in this
                 --------------------                                       
Article 12, if the Premises, or any other portion of the Marketplace necessary
- ----------                                                                    
for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, are damaged or destroyed by fire
or other casualty, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such event,
notify Tenant of the estimated time, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, required
to repair such damage or destruction.  If Landlord's estimate of time is less
than two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage or destruction,
then (i) Landlord shall proceed with all due diligence to repair the Premises,
and/or the portion of the Marketplace necessary for Tenant's use and occupancy
of the Premises, to substantially the condition existing immediately before such
damage or destruction, as permitted by and subject to then applicable laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations; (ii) this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect; and (iii) to the extent such damage or destruction did not result
from the negligence or willful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's subtenants
or any of their respective employees, agents, contractors, invitees or
licensees, Base Rent shall abate for such part of the Premises rendered unusable
by Tenant in the conduct of its business during the time such part is so
unusable, in the proportion that the Rentable Area contained in the unusable
part of the Premises bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises.

          12.2.  Landlord's Election.  If Landlord determines that the necessary
                 -------------------                                            
repairs cannot be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date
of damage or destruction, or if such damage or destruction arises from causes
not covered by Landlord's insurance policy then in force ("Uninsured Loss") and
the Uninsured Loss exceeds 2% of the replacement cost of the Building, Landlord
may elect, in its notice to Tenant pursuant to Section 12.1, to (i) terminate
                                               ------------                  
this Lease or (ii) repair the Premises or the portion of the Marketplace
necessary for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises pursuant to the
applicable provisions of Section 12.1 above.  In addition, if Landlord
                         ------------                                 
determines that the necessary repairs cannot be completed within two hundred
seventy (270) days after

                                      -14-

 
the date of damage or destruction, then Tenant shall have the right, for a
period of twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord's notice, to elect to
terminate this Lease.  If Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date of occurrence of the damage or destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may not terminate this Lease in
connection with an Uninsured Loss, and must restore the damage caused by the
Uninsured Loss, if (i) the Uninsured Loss exceeds 2%, but is less than 10%, of
the replacement cost of the Building, and (ii) Landlord does not covenant in
writing to Tenant that Landlord will not enter into a  lease of the Premises
with another tenant within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of such
Uninsured Loss which lease would permit such tenant to occupy the Premises
within such two hundred seventy (270) day period; provided, however, that the
terms of this sentence shall apply only to the original Landlord under this
Lease and shall not apply to any successor landlord.

          12.3.  Cost of Repairs.  Landlord shall pay the cost for repair of the
                 ---------------                                                
Marketplace and all improvements in the Premises, other than any Alterations.
Tenant shall pay the costs to repair all Alterations (but Landlord shall make
available to Tenant for such purpose any insurance proceeds received by Landlord
for such purpose under Landlord's insurance policy then in force).  Tenant shall
also replace or repair, at Tenant's cost and expense, Tenant's movable
furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property in the Premises
which Tenant shall be responsible for insuring during the Term of this Lease.

          12.4.  Damage at End of Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the
                 ---------------------                                  
contrary contained in this Article 12, if the Premises or any portion of the
                           ----------                                       
Building are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty within the last six
(6) months of the Term, then either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease by notice to the other given within
ninety (90) days after the date of such event.  Such termination shall be
effective on the date specified in such party's notice to the other party, but
in no event later than the end of such 90-day period.

          12.5.  Waiver of Statutes.  The respective rights and obligations of
                 ------------------                                           
Landlord and Tenant in the event of any damage to or destruction of the
Premises, or any other portion of the Marketplace, are governed exclusively by
this Lease.  Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law to the
contrary, including California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) providing
for the termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased property.

     13.  Eminent Domain.
          -------------- 

          13.1.  Effect of Taking.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article
                 ----------------                                        -------
13, if all or any part of the Premises is taken as a result of the exercise of
- --                                                                            
the power of eminent domain or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose,
or if any transfer is made in avoidance of such exercise of the power of eminent
domain (collectively, "taken" or a "taking"), this Lease shall terminate as to
the part of the Premises so taken as of the effective date of such taking.  On a
taking of a portion of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the
right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other given within thirty (30)
days after the effective date of such taking, if the portion of the Premises
taken is of such extent and nature so as to materially impair Tenant's business
use of the balance of the Premises, as reasonably determined by the party giving
such notice.  On a taking of a portion of the Marketplace, Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30)
days after the effective date of such taking, if the portion of the Marketplace
(but not the Premises) taken is of such extent and nature so as to materially
impair Tenant's ability to use the Premises, as reasonably determined by Tenant.
Such termination shall be operative as of the effective date of the taking.
Landlord may also terminate this Lease on a taking of any other portion of the
Marketplace if Landlord reasonably determines that such taking is of such extent
and nature as to render the operation of the remaining Marketplace economically
infeasible or to require a substantial alteration or reconstruction of such
remaining portion.  Landlord shall elect such termination by notice to Tenant
given within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such taking, and such
termination shall be operative as of the effective date of such taking.  Upon a
taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the
Base Rent shall thereafter be reduced as of the effective date of such taking in
the proportion that the Rentable Area of the Premises so taken bears to the
total Rentable Area of the Premises.

          13.2.  Condemnation Proceeds.  Except as hereinafter provided, in the
                 ---------------------                                         
event of any taking, Landlord shall have the right to all compensation, damages,
income, rent or awards made with respect thereto (collectively an "award"),
including any award for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease.
No award to Landlord shall be apportioned and, subject to Tenant's rights

                                      -15-

 
hereinafter specified, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right of Tenant in
any award made for any taking.  So long as such claim will not reduce any award
otherwise payable to Landlord under this Section 13.2, Tenant may seek to
                                         ------------                    
recover, at its cost and expense, as a separate claim, any damages or awards
payable on a taking of the Premises to compensate for the unamortized cost paid
by Tenant for the alterations, additions or improvements, if any, made by or on
behalf of Tenant during the initial improvement of the Premises pursuant to the
Work Letter and for any Alterations, or for Tenant's personal property taken, or
for interference with or interruption of Tenant's business (including goodwill),
or for Tenant's removal and relocation expenses.

          13.3.  Restoration of Premises.  On a taking of the Premises which
                 -----------------------                                    
does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall
restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition they were in prior
to the taking in accordance with the applicable provisions and allocation of
responsibility for repair and restoration of the Premises on damage or
destruction pursuant to Article 12 above, and both parties shall use any awards
                        ----------                                             
received by such party attributable to the Premises for such purpose.

          13.4.  Taking at End of Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the
                 ---------------------                                  
contrary contained in this Article 13, if the Premises are taken within the last
                           ----------                                           
three hundred sixty-five (365) days of the Term, then Landlord shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking.  Such termination shall
be effective on the date specified in Landlord's notice to Tenant, but in no
event later than the end of such 90-day period.

          13.5.  Tenant Waiver.  The rights and obligations of Landlord and
                 -------------                                             
Tenant on any taking of the Premises or any other portion of the Marketplace are
governed exclusively by this Lease.  Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of any law to the contrary, including California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130, or any similar successor statute.

     14.  Insurance.

          14.1.  Insurance.  Landlord, with respect to the Marketplace, and
                 ---------

extended coverage property damage insurance policy (excluding earthquake
coverage) on the Building in an amount not less than 100% of the replacement
cost of the Building; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term
such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates, then Landlord
shall, to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable
rates, obtain extended coverage property damage insurance with the maximum
amount of coverage that is available at commercially reasonable rates.

          14.2.  Form of Policies.  All insurance required by this Article 14
                 ----------------                                  ----------
shall be issued on an occurrence basis by solvent companies qualified to do
business in the State of California.  Any insurance required under this Article
                                                                        -------

locations, so long as the amount and coverage required to be provided hereunder
is not thereby diminished.  Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of each policy
of insurance or a certificate thereof certifying that the policies contain the
provisions required hereunder.  Tenant shall deliver such policies or
certificates to Landlord within (30) days after the Lease Date, but in no event
less than ten (10) business days prior to the Commencement Date or such earlier
date as Tenant or Tenant's contractors, agents, licensees, invitees or employees
first enter the Premises and, upon renewal, not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of such coverage.  All evidence of insurance provided to
Landlord shall provide (i) that Landlord, Landlord's managing agent and any
other person requested by Landlord who has an insurable interest, is designated
as an additional insured without limitation as to coverage afforded under such
policy; (ii) for severability of interests or that the acts or omissions of one
of the insureds or additional insureds shall not reduce or affect coverage
available to any other insured or additional insured; (iii) that the insurer
agrees not to cancel or alter the policy without at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to all additional insureds; (iv) that the aggregate liability
applies solely to the Premises and the remainder of the Marketplace; and (v)
that Tenant's insurance is primary and noncontributing with any insurance
carried by Landlord.

          14.3.  Workers' Compensation Insurance.  Tenant, at its sole cost and
                 -------------------------------                               
expense, shall maintain Workers' Compensation insurance as required by law and
employer's liability insurance in an amount of not less than Five Hundred

          14.4.  Additional Tenant Insurance.  Tenant, at its sole cost and
                 ---------------------------                               
expense, shall maintain such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require
from time to time, but in no event may Landlord require any other insurance
which is (i) not then being required of comparable tenants leasing comparable
amounts of space in comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building or (ii)
not then available at commercially reasonable rates.

     15.  Waiver of Subrogation Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the
          ----------------------------                                  
contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant, for themselves and their
respective insurers, agree to and do hereby release each other of and from any
and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action that each may have or
claim to have against the other for loss or damage to property, both real and
personal, notwithstanding that any such loss or damage may be due to or result
from the negligence of either of the parties hereto or their respective
employees or agents.  Each party shall, to the extent such insurance endorsement
is lawfully available at commercially reasonable rates, obtain or cause to be
obtained, for the benefit of the other party, a waiver of any right of
subrogation (a "Subrogation Endorsement") which the insurer of such party may
acquire against the other party by virtue of the payment of any such loss
covered by such insurance; provided, however, that the waiver contained in this
Section 15 shall not be effective during any period when both Tenant and
Landlord do not have in effect a valid Subrogation Endorsement.

     16.  Tenant's Waiver of Liability and Indemnification.
          ------------------------------------------------ 

          16.1.  Waiver and Release.  Except to the extent due to the gross
                 ------------------                                        
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or
contractors, or Landlord's breach of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors,
licenses or invitees for, and Tenant waives and releases Landlord and Landlord's
managing agent from, all claims for loss or damage to any property or injury,
illness or death of any person in, upon or about the Premises and/or any other
portion of the Marketplace (including claims caused in whole or in part by the
act, omission, or neglect of other tenants, contractors, licensees, invitees or
other occupants of the Marketplace or their agents or employees).  The waiver
and release contained in this Section 16.1 extends to the officers, directors,
                              ------------                                    
shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives of Landlord.

          16.2.  Indemnification of Landlord.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend,
                 ---------------------------                                  
protect and hold Landlord harmless of and from any and all loss, liens,
liability, claims, causes of action, damage, injury, cost or expense arising out
of or in connection with (i) the making of any alterations, additions or other
improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial improvement of
the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter or any Alterations, or (ii) injury to
or death of persons or damage to property occurring or resulting directly or
indirectly from: (A) the use or occupancy of, or the conduct of business in, the
Premises by Tenant or its subtenants or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees; (B) any other
occurrence or condition in or on the Premises (excluding conditions in the
Building existing prior to the execution of this Lease, defects in the tenant
improvements installed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter, and conditions
relating to hazardous substances not brought on the Premises by Tenant, its
subtenants, and their respective agents, employees, or contractors); and (C)
acts, neglect or omissions of Tenant, or its subtenants or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, invitees or
licensees, in or about any portion of the Marketplace.  Tenant's indemnity
obligation includes reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, investigation costs
and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord.  If Landlord
reasonably disapproves the legal counsel proposed by Tenant for the defense of
any claim indemnified against hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to
appoint its own legal counsel, the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of which
shall be included as part of Tenant's indemnity obligation hereunder.  The
indemnification contained in this Section 16.2 shall extend to the officers,
                                  ------------                              
directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives of
Landlord.

          16.3.  Indemnification of Tenant.  Landlord shall indemnify, defend,
                 -------------------------                                    
protect and hold Tenant harmless of and from any and all loss, liens, liability,
claims, causes of action, damage, injury, cost or expense arising out of or in
connection with (i) any breach or default by Landlord in the performance of any
of its obligations under this Lease, or (ii) any loss or damage to property or
injury to person occurring in the public entrances, stairways, corridors,
elevators and elevator lobbies, and other public areas in the Building or the
other public areas in the Marketplace (except for such loss, damage or

                                      -17-

 
injury for which Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord under Section 16.2).

     17.  Assignment and Subletting.
          ------------------------- 

          17.1.  Compliance Required.  Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly,
                 -------------------                                            
voluntary or by operation of law, sell, assign or otherwise transfer this Lease,
or any interest herein (collectively, "assign" or "assignment"), or sublet the
Premises, or any part thereof, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by any
person other than Tenant (collectively, "sublease" or "subletting", the assignee
or sublessee under an assignment or sublease being referred to as a
"transferee"), without Landlord's prior consent given or withheld in accordance
with the express standards and conditions of this Article 17 and compliance with
                                                  ----------                    
the other provisions of this Article 17.  Any assignment or subletting made in
                             ----------                                       
violation of this Article 17 shall be void.  As used herein, an "assignment"
                  ----------                                                
includes any sale or other transfer (such as by consolidation, merger or
reorganization) of a majority of the voting stock of Tenant, if Tenant is a
corporation, or any sale or other transfer of a majority of the beneficial
interest in Tenant, if Tenant is any other form of entity.  Tenant acknowledges
and agrees that the limitations on Tenant's right to sublet or assign which are
set forth in this Article 17 are reasonable and, in particular, that the express
                  ----------                                                    
standards and conditions upon Tenant's right to assign or sublet which are set
forth in this Article 17 are reasonable as of the Lease Date.  Notwithstanding
              ----------                                                      
the foregoing, an assignment shall not include any of the following
(collectively, "Exempt Transfers"): (i) the sale of substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, so long as the purchaser of such assets assumes all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease; (ii) the transfer of any stock in
connection with a public offering or at any time that the shares of Tenant are
publicly traded; and (iii) any merger, consolidation or other nonbankruptcy
reorganization so long as the net worth of the survivor is the same or better as
the tenant immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction, and so long
as the survivor assumes all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.  In
addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to disapprove a sublease
to any entity controlling, controlled by , or under common control with Tenant
(an "Exempt Sublease").  The transferee under an Exempt Transfer or an Exempt
Sublease shall be referred to as an "Exempt Transferee".

          17.2.  Request by Tenant; Landlord Response.  If Tenant desires to
                 ------------------------------------                       
effect an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a request for
consent together with the identity of the parties to the transaction, the nature
of the transferee's proposed business use for the Premises, the proposed
documentation for and terms of the transaction, and all other information
reasonably requested by Landlord concerning the proposed transaction and the
parties involved therein, including certified financial information, credit
reports, the business background and references regarding the transferee, and an
opportunity to meet and interview the transferee.   Within the later of twenty
(20) days after the receipt of all such information required by Landlord pr five
(5) days after such interview, or within thirty (30) days after the date of
Tenant's request to Landlord if Landlord does not request additional information
or an interview, Landlord shall have the right, by notice to Tenant, to: (i)
consent to the assignment or sublease, subject to the terms of this Article 17;
                                                                    ---------- 
(ii) decline to consent to the assignment or sublease; (iii) in the case of a
subletting, to sublet from Tenant the portion of the Premises proposed to be
sublet on the terms and conditions set forth in Tenant's request to Landlord,
unless the rent terms exceed the allocable Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, in
which event only such Rent shall be payable by Landlord under such subletting;
or (iv) terminate this Lease as to the affected portion of the Premises as of
the date specified by Tenant as the effective date of the proposed assignment or
sublease (the "Termination Option"), in which event Tenant will be relieved of
all unaccrued obligations hereunder as to such portion as of such date, other
than those obligations which survive termination of this Lease.  If Landlord
elects so to terminate, Tenant shall have the right, by notice to Landlord
within five (5) days after Landlord's exercise of such right, to rescind its
request for the proposed assignment or subletting, in which event this Lease
shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing or the following, Landlord shall have no right to exercise the
Termination Option with respect to (i) any Exempt Sublease, or (ii) any sublease
that has an entire term (including extension options) of less than two (2)
years.  In addition, Landlord shall have no right to exercise the Termination
Option with respect to any new sublease so long as all subleases (excluding for
this purpose Exempt Subleases), including such new sublease, would not cause
more than 15,223 square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises to be subleased
(excluding Exempt Subleases), and for this purpose, all subleases between Tenant
and any affiliates of any subtenant shall be deemed to constitute a single
sublease.

          17.3.  Conditions for Landlord Approval.  In the event Landlord elects
                 --------------------------------                               
not to sublet from Tenant or terminate this Lease (in whole or in part) as
provided in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 17.2, Landlord shall not
                                      ------------                    
unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or assignment by
Tenant.  Without limiting the grounds on which it may be reasonable for Landlord
to withhold its consent to an assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees that
Landlord would be acting reasonably in withholding its

                                      -18-

 
consent in the following instances: (i) if Tenant is in default under this
Lease; (ii) if the transferee is a governmental or quasi-governmental agency,
foreign or domestic; (iii) if the transferee is an existing tenant in the
Building; (iv) if, in Landlord's sole judgment, the transferee's business, use
and/or occupancy of the Premises would (A) violate any of the terms of this
Lease or the lease of any other tenant in the Marketplace, or (B) not be
comparable to and compatible with the types of use by other tenants in the
Building, (C) fall within any category of use for which Landlord would not then
lease space in the Building under its leasing guidelines and policies then in
effect, (D) require any Alterations which would reduce the value of the existing
leasehold improvements in the Premises, or (E) result in increased density per
floor or require increased services by Landlord in excess of the limits on
density and services provided in this Lease; (v) in the case of a sublease, it
would result in more than two (2) occupancies on any floor in the Premises,
including Tenant and subtenants; or (vi) if the financial condition of the
transferee does not meet the requirements applied by Landlord for other tenants
in the Building under leases with comparable terms.  If Landlord consents to an
assignment or sublease, the terms of such assignment or sublease transaction
shall not be modified without Landlord's prior written consent pursuant to this
                                                                               
Article 17.  Landlord's consent to an assignment or subletting shall not be
- ----------                                                                 
deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

          17.4.  Costs and Expenses.  As a condition to the effectiveness of any
                 ------------------                                             
assignment or subletting under this Article 17, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
                                    ----------                                
processing fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) and all reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in
evaluating Tenant's requests for assignment or sublease, whether or not Landlord
consents to an assignment or sublease.  Tenant shall pay the processing fee with
Tenant's request for Landlord's consent under Section 17.2.  Tenant shall also
                                              ------------                    
pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord due to a transferee
taking possession of the Premises, including freight elevator operation,
security service, janitorial service and rubbish removal.

          17.5.  Payment of Excess Rent and Other Consideration.  Tenant shall
                 ----------------------------------------------               
also pay to Landlord, promptly upon Tenant's receipt thereof, forty percent
(40%) of any and all rent, sums or other consideration ("Subtenant
Consideration"), howsoever denominated realized by Tenant in connection with any
assignment or sublease transaction (other than transfers to Exempt Transferees)
in excess of the Base Rent and Escalation Rent payable hereunder (prorated to
reflect the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises if a sublease);
provided, however, that the Subtenant Consideration shall not include payments
by a subtenant to Tenant which are reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Tenant in providing services at cost to such subtenant.
 
          17.6.  Assumption of Obligations; Further Restrictions on Subletting.
                 -------------------------------------------------------------  
Each assignee shall, concurrently with any assignment, assume all obligations of
Tenant under this Lease.  Each sublease shall be made subject to this Lease and
all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein; and the surrender
of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or the termination of
this Lease in accordance with its terms, shall not work a merger and shall, at
the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an
assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases.  No sublessee (other than
Landlord) shall have the right further to sublet unless such sublessee obtains
Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion.  Any assignment by a sublessee of its sublease shall be
subject to Landlord's prior consent in the same manner as a sublease by Tenant.
No sublease, once consented to by Landlord, shall be modified without Landlord's
prior consent.  No assignment or sublease shall be binding on Landlord unless
the transferee delivers to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of the
assignment or sublease which contains the assumption by the assignee, or
recognition by the sublessee, of the provisions of this Section 17.6, in form
                                                        ------------         
and substance satisfactory to Landlord, but the failure or refusal of a
transferee to deliver such instrument shall not release or discharge such
transferee from the provisions and obligations of this Section 17.6, but such
                                                       ------------          
failure shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.

          17.7.  No Release.  No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant
                 ----------                                                 
from its obligations under this Lease, whether arising before or after the
assignment or sublease.  The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article
                                                                         -------
17.  On a default by any assignee of Tenant in the performance of any of the
- --                                                                          
terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly
against Tenant without the necessity of commencing or exhausting remedies
against such assignee.  No consent by Landlord to any further assignments or
sublettings of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or termination of this
Lease, or extension, waiver or modification of payment or any other obligations
under this Lease, or any other action by Landlord with respect to any assignee
or sublessee, or the insolvency, or bankruptcy or default of any such assignee
or sublessee, shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant for its
obligations under

                                      -19-

 
this Lease and Tenant waives any defense arising out of or based thereon,
including any suretyship defense of exoneration.  Landlord shall have no
obligation to notify Tenant or obtain Tenant's consent with respect to any of
the foregoing matters.

          17.8.  No Encumbrance.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                 --------------                                           
contained in this Article 17, Tenant shall have no right to encumber, pledge,
                  ----------                                                 
hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any of Tenant's interest or
rights hereunder, as security for any obligation or liability of Tenant.

     18.  Rules and Regulations.  Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall
          ---------------------                                             
cause its sublessees, employees, agents, contractors, licensees and invitees to
observe and comply, with the Rules and Regulations of the Marketplace, a copy of
which are attached to this Lease as Exhibit D, and, after notice thereof, with
                                    ---------                                 
all modifications and additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing
by Landlord, but only to the extent such modifications and additions are
reasonable, non-discriminatory, and not materially inconsistent with any of the
rights of Tenant granted by this Lease.  Landlord shall not be responsible to
Tenant, or Tenant's sublessees, employees, agents, contractors, licensees or
invitees, for noncompliance with any Rules and Regulations of the Marketplace by
any other tenant, sublessee, employee, agent, contractor, licensee, invitee or
other occupant of the Marketplace.

     19.  Entry of Premises by Landlord.
          ----------------------------- 

          19.1.  Right to Enter.  Upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant
                 --------------                                           
(except in emergencies or in order to provide regularly scheduled or other
routine Building standard services or additional services requested by Tenant,
or post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or required by
law when no such notice shall be required), Landlord and its authorized agents,
employees, and contractors may enter the Premises at reasonable hours to: (i)
inspect the same; (ii) determine Tenant's compliance with its obligations
hereunder; (iii) exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants;
(iv) supply any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; (v) post notices
of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or required by law; (vi) make
repairs, improvements or alterations, or perform maintenance in or to, the
Premises or any other portion of the Marketplace, including Building systems;
and (vii) perform such other functions as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or
desirable.  Landlord may also grant access to the Premises to government or
utility representatives and bring and use on or about the Premises such
equipment as reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of Landlord's
entry.   Landlord shall use reasonable good faith efforts to effect all entries
and perform all work hereunder in such manner as to minimize interference with
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.  Landlord shall have and retain keys
with which to unlock all of the doors in or to the Premises (excluding Tenant's
vaults, safes and similar secure areas designated in writing by Tenant in
advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem proper in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the
Premises, including secure areas.

          19.2.  Tenant Waiver of Claims.  Tenant waives any claim for damages
                 -----------------------                                      
for any inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, or any loss of
occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or any other loss, occasioned by
any entry effected or work performed in compliance with this Article 19, and
                                                             ----------     
Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent by reason of the exercise
of any such right of entry or performance of such work.  No entry to the
Premises by Landlord or anyone acting under Landlord that is in compliance with
this Article 19 shall constitute a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a
detainer of, the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from
the Premises, or any portion thereof.

     20.  Default and Remedies.
          -------------------- 

          20.1.  Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following
                 -----------------

                   ------------------                                    

               b.  Unpermitted Assignment.  An assignment or sublease made in
                   ----------------------                                    
contravention of any of the provisions of Article 17 above.
                                          ----------       

               c.  Abandonment.  Abandonment of the Premises.
                   -----------                               

               d.  Other Obligations.  Failure to perform or fulfill any other
                   -----------------                                          
obligation,

                                      -20-

 
covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease.

          e.  Bankruptcy and Insolvency.  A general assignment by Tenant for the
              -------------------------                                         
benefit of creditors, any action or proceeding commenced by Tenant under any
insolvency or bankruptcy act or under any other statute or regulation for
protection from creditors, or any such action commenced against Tenant and not
discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of commencement; the employment
or appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or
substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Premises where possession is not
returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days; the attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Premises,
if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a
period of fifteen (15) days after the levy thereof; the admission by Tenant in
writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or the filing by
Tenant of a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or

in any such proceeding  if within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any
such proceeding against Tenant, such proceeding is not dismissed.  For purposes
of this Section 20.1(e), "Tenant" means Tenant and any partner of Tenant, if
        ---------------                                                     
Tenant is a partnership, or any person or entity comprising Tenant, if Tenant is
comprised of more than one person or entity, or any guarantor of Tenant's
obligations, or any of them, under this Lease.

          20.2.  Notice to Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any default, Landlord
                 ----------------
shall give Tenant notice thereof. Such notice shall replace rather than
supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices
required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or
successor statute; and giving of such notice in the manner required by 
Article 28 shall replace and satisfy any service-of-notice procedures set forth
- ----------
in any statute, including those required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute. If a time period is specified
below for cure of such default, then Tenant may cure such default within such
time period. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Tenant hereby waives any
right under law now or hereinafter enacted to any other time period for cure of
default.
               a.  Nonpayment of Rent.  For failure to pay Rent, within five (5)
                   ------------------                                           
days after Landlord's notice.

               b.  Other Obligations.  For failure to perform any obligation,
                   -----------------                                         
covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease (other than nonpayment of
Rent, an assignment or subletting in violation of Article 17 or Tenant's
                                                  ----------            
abandonment of the Premises) within twenty (20) days after Landlord's notice or,
if the failure is of a nature requiring more than 20 days to cure, then such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such default, but only if
Tenant commences such cure within such twenty (20) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion.

               c.  No Cure Period.  No cure period shall apply for any other
                   --------------                                           
event of default specified in Section 20.1.
                              ------------ 

          20.3.  Remedies Upon Occurrence of Default.  On the occurrence of a
                 -----------------------------------                         
default which Tenant fails to cure after notice and expiration of the time
period for cure, if any, specified in Section 20.2 above, Landlord shall have
                                      ------------                           
the right either (i) to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the
Premises, or (ii) to continue this Lease in effect and enforce all Landlord's
rights and remedies under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (by which
Landlord may recover Rent as it becomes due, subject to Tenant's right to assign
pursuant to Article 17).  Landlord may store any property of Tenant located in
            ----------                                                        
the Premises at Tenant's expense or otherwise dispose of such property in the
manner provided by law.  To the extent permitted under Section 1951.4 of the
California Civil Code, if Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Tenant shall
in addition to continuing to pay all Rent when due, also pay Landlord's costs of
attempting to relet the Premises, any repairs and alterations necessary to
prepare the Premises for such reletting, and brokerage commissions and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith, less the rents, if any,
actually received from such reletting. Notwithstanding Landlord's election to
continue this Lease in effect, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate
this Lease pursuant to this Section 20.3.
                            ------------ 

          20.4.  Damages Upon Termination.  If and when Landlord terminates this
                 ------------------------                                       
Lease pursuant to Section 20.3, Landlord may exercise all its rights and
                  ------------                                          
remedies available under California Civil Code Section 1951.2, including the
right to recover from Tenant the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided.  As used herein and in Civil Code Section 1951.2, "time of
award" means the date of entry of any determination, order or judgment of any

                                      -21-

 
court or other legally constituted body determining the amount recoverable.

          20.5.  Computation of Certain Rent for Purposes of Default.  For
                 ---------------------------------------------------      
purposes of computing unpaid Rent pursuant to Section 20.4 above, Escalation
                                              ------------                  
Rent for the balance of the Term shall be determined by averaging the amounts
paid by Tenant as Escalation Rent for the Fiscal Years prior to the year in
which the default occurred (or, if the prior year is the Base Year or such
default occurs during the Base Year, Escalation Rent shall be based on
Landlord's operating budget for the Building for the Base Year), increasing such
average amount for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) remaining in the
balance of the Term at a per annum compounded rate equal to the mean average
rate of increase for the preceding five (5) calendar years in the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index (All Urban
Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984 = 100) for the Metropolitan Area of which San
Francisco, California, is a part, and adding together the resulting amounts.  If
such Index is discontinued or revised, such computation shall be made by
reference to the index designated as the successor or substitute index by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor
agency, and if none is designated, by a comparable index as determined by
Landlord in its sole discretion, which would likely achieve a comparable result
to that achieved by the use of the Consumer Price Index.  If the base year of
the Consumer Price Index is changed, then the conversion factor specified by the
Bureau, or successor agency, shall be utilized to determine the Consumer Price
Index.


          20.6.  Landlord's Right to Cure Defaults.  If Tenant fails to pay Rent
                 ---------------------------------                              
(other than Base Rent and Escalation Rent) required to be paid by it hereunder,
or fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease, and Tenant fails to
cure such default within the applicable cure period, if any, specified in
                                                                         
Section 20.2 above, then Landlord may, without waiving any of Landlord's rights
- ------------                                                                   
in connection therewith or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations or such
default, make any such payment or perform such other obligation on behalf of
Tenant.  All payments so made by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord to perform such obligations, shall be due and payable by Tenant as
Rent immediately upon receipt of Landlord's demand therefor.

          20.7.  Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of Landlord under
                 -------------------                                            
this Lease are cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.  Landlord's
pursuit of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of
remedies with respect to any other right or remedy.

     21.  Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance.
          -------------------------------------------- 

          21.1.  Subordination and Attornment.  This Lease and all of Tenant's
                 ----------------------------                                 
rights hereunder shall be subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease,
and the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other security instrument
now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the Marketplace, or any part thereof
or interest therein, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof or
Landlord's interest therein, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof (an "encumbrance", the holder of the
beneficial interest thereunder being referred to as an "encumbrancer").  An
encumbrancer may, however, subordinate its encumbrance to this Lease, and if an
encumbrancer so elects by notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to
such encumbrance.  If any encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate is
foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the encumbrancer
thereunder, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to
the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure; and if any encumbrance
consisting of a ground lease or underlying lease to which this Lease is
subordinate is terminated, Tenant shall attorn to the lessor thereof.  Tenant
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver in the form requested by Landlord or any
encumbrancer, any documents required to evidence or effectuate the subordination
hereunder, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any encumbrance, or to
evidence such attornment, so long as any such document contains language
reasonably requested by such party agreeing that Tenant's rights under this
Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under this
Lease.

          21.2.  Nondisturbance.  If any encumbrance to which this Lease is
                 --------------                                            
subordinate is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the
encumbrancer thereunder, or if any encumbrance consisting of a ground lease or
underlying lease to which this Lease is subordinate is terminated, this Lease
shall not terminate, and the rights and possession of Tenant under this Lease
shall not be disturbed if (i) no default by Tenant then exists under this Lease;
(ii) Tenant attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or successor lessor as provided
in Section 21.1 above or, if requested, enters into a new lease for the balance
   ------------                                                                
of the Term upon the same terms and provisions contained in this Lease; and
(iii) Tenant enters into a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to
such encumbrancer with

                                      -22-

 
respect to subordination, attornment and non-disturbance

          21.3.  Termination Right.  The parties acknowledge that the Building
                 -----------------                                            
is currently encumbered by a deed of trust (the "Existing Deed of Trust") in
favor of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("Teachers").
Tenant desires to obtain a non-disturbance agreement or comparable agreement
from Teachers (collectively, a "Teachers SNDA") with respect to the Existing
Deed of Trust.  Landlord shall have no obligation to cause Teachers to deliver
to Tenant a Teachers SNDA.  However, if Tenant does not obtain a Teachers SNDA
within twenty (20) days after the date of this Lease, then Tenant shall have the
right, for a period of five (5) days thereafter, to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Landlord.  Tenant shall have no
right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 21.3 at any time after a
date twenty-five (25) days after the date of this Lease.  Upon any such
termination, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or
obligations under this Lease, except those which survive the termination of this
Lease.

     22.  Sale or Transfer by Landlord; Lease Non-Recourse.
          ------------------------------------------------ 

          22.1.  Release of Landlord on Transfer.   Landlord may at any time
                 -------------------------------                            
transfer, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest under this Lease
and in the Marketplace, or any portion thereof.  If the original Landlord
hereunder, or any successor to such original Landlord, transfers (by sale,
assignment or otherwise) its right, title or interest in the Building, then,
upon assumption of all future obligations under this Lease by Landlord's
transferee, all liabilities and obligations of the original Landlord or such
successor under this Lease accruing after such transfer shall terminate, the
original Landlord or such successor shall automatically be released therefrom,
and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new
owner.  Tenant shall attorn to each such new owner.

          22.2.  Lease Nonrecourse to Landlord.  Landlord shall in no event be
                 -----------------------------                                
personally liable under this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's
interest in the Marketplace (including proceeds from sale, refinance, or
insurance), for recovery of any damages for breach of this Lease by Landlord or
on any judgment in connection therewith.  None of the persons or entities
comprising or representing Landlord (whether partners, shareholders, officers,
directors, trustees, employees, beneficiaries, agents or otherwise) shall ever
be personally liable under this Lease or liable for any such damages or judgment
and Tenant shall have no right to effect any levy of execution against any
assets of such persons or entities on account of any such liability or judgment.
Any lien obtained by Tenant to enforce any such judgment, and any levy of
execution thereon, shall be subject and subordinate to all encumbrances as
specified in Article 21 above existing as of the date that Tenant obtains and
             ----------                                                      
records a proper and legal judgment lien against the Marketplace.

     23.  Estoppel Certificate.
          -------------------- 

          23.1.  Procedure and Content.  From time to time, and within ten (10)
                 ---------------------                                         
days after written notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and
deliver to Landlord a certificate as specified by Landlord certifying: (i) that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and
identifying each modification); (ii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date;
(iii) that Tenant has accepted the Premises (or the reasons Tenant has not
accepted the Premises), and if Landlord has agreed to make any alterations or
improvements to the Premises, that Landlord has properly completed such
alterations or improvements (or the reasons why Landlord has not done so); (iv)
the amount of the Base Rent and current Escalation Rent, if any, and the date to
which such Rent has been paid; (v) that Tenant has not committed any event of
default, except as to any events of default specified in the certificate, and
whether there are any existing defenses against the enforcement of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; (vi) that no default of Landlord is claimed by
Tenant, except as to any defaults specified in the certificate; and (vii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.

          23.2.  Effect of Certificate.  Any such certificate may be relied upon
                 ---------------------                                          
by any prospective purchaser of any part or interest in the Marketplace or
encumbrancer (as defined in Section 21.1) and, at Landlord's request, Tenant
                            ------------                                    
shall deliver such certificate to Landlord and/or to any such entity.  In
addition, at Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for delivery
to any such entity such non-confidential public information, including financial
information, that may reasonably be requested by any such entity.  Any such
certificate shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any claims Tenant may have in
contravention to the information contained in such certificate and Tenant shall
be estopped from asserting any such claim.  If Tenant fails or refuses to give a
certificate hereunder within the time period herein specified, then the
information contained in such certificate as submitted by Landlord shall be

                                      -23-

 
deemed correct for all purposes, but Landlord shall have the right to treat such
failure or refusal as a default by Tenant.

     24.  No Light, Air, or View Easement.  Nothing contained in this Lease
          -------------------------------                                  
shall be deemed, either expressly or by implication, to create any easement for
light and air or access to any view.  Any diminution or shutting off of light,
air or view to or from the Premises by any structure which now exists or which
may hereafter be erected, whether by Landlord or any other person, shall in no
way affect this Lease or Tenant's obligations hereunder, entitle Tenant to any
reduction of Rent, or impose any liability on Landlord.

     25.  Holding Over.  No holding over by Tenant shall operate to extend the
          ------------                                                        
Term.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or
termination of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing, then
(i) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all the applicable terms and
conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent shall be increased to equal 125%
of the Base Rent then in effect; (ii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless Landlord, and any tenant to whom Landlord has leased all or
part of the Premises, from any and all liability, loss, damages, costs or
expense (including loss of Rent to Landlord or additional rent payable by such
tenant and reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by either Landlord
or such tenant resulting from Tenant's failure timely to vacate the Premises;
and (iii) such holding over by Tenant shall constitute a default by Tenant.

     26.  Security Deposit.
          ---------------- 

          26.1 General Procedures.  Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the
               ------------------                                         
Security Deposit, in the amount   specified in the Basic Lease Information,
within three (3) days after the execution of this Lease by Tenant.  At Tenant's
option, the Security Deposit may be in the form of an irrevocable standby letter
of credit ("L-C").  The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security
for the performance by Tenant of all its obligations under this Lease.  If
Tenant fails to pay any Rent due hereunder, or otherwise commits a default with
respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or
any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any such Rent or for the
payment of any other amounts expended or incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which
Landlord may incur thereby (and in this regard Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7(C) and any similar or
successor statute providing that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only
those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to
repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises).  Exercise by Landlord
of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of, or relieve Tenant from
any liability for, any default. If any portion of a cash Security Deposit is so
applied, or any portion of an L-C posted as the Security Deposit, if applicable,
is drawn upon by Landlord for such purposes, Tenant shall either, within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount or deposit a
replacement L-C with Landlord in the amount of the original L-C. The Security
Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord to
cure or remedy a default by Tenant or to hold for the purpose of restoring the
Premises to the condition required by this Lease, shall be returned, without
interest, to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of
Tenant's interest under this Lease) within thirty (30) days after the later of
(i) the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or (ii)
vacation of the Premises by Tenant.  Landlord's receipt and retention of the
Security Deposit shall not create any trust or fiduciary relationship between
Landlord and Tenant and Landlord need not keep the Security Deposit separate
from its general accounts.  Upon termination of the original Landlord's (or any
successor owner's) interest in the Premises, the original Landlord (or such
successor) shall be released from further liability with respect to the Security
Deposit upon the original Landlord's (or such successor's) compliance with
California Civil Code Section 1950.7(d), or successor statute.

          26.2 Letter of Credit.  If at any time Tenant elects to deposit an L-C
               ----------------                                                 
as the Security Deposit, the L-C shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable
to Landlord, shall be issued for a term of at least twelve (12) months and shall
be in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall either
replace the expiring L-C with an L-C in an amount equal to the original L-C or
renew the expiring L-C, in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the term of the L-C then in effect. If Tenant fails to deposit a
replacement L-C or renew the expiring L-C, Landlord shall have the right to draw
upon the expiring L-C for the full amount thereof. Drawing upon the L-C shall be
conditioned upon the presentation to the issuer of the L-C of a certified
statement executed by a general partner of Landlord that (i) Tenant is in
default under the Lease and Landlord is exercising its right to draw upon so
much of the L-C as is necessary to cure Tenant's default, or (ii) Tenant has not
renewed or

                                      -24-

 
replaced an expiring L-C as required by this Lease and Landlord is authorized to
draw upon the L-C prior to its expiration. The L-C shall not be mortgaged,
assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior
written consent of Landlord. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or
any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any
other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that
Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C , and such use,
application or retention shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to
which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.


     27.  Waiver.  Failure of Landlord to declare a default by Tenant upon
          ------                                                          
occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall
not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare such
default at any time after its occurrence.  To be effective, a waiver of any
provision of this Lease, or any default, shall be in writing and signed by the
waiving party.  Any waiver hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of subsequent
performance of any such provision or subsequent defaults.  The subsequent
acceptance of Rent hereunder, or endorsement of any check by Landlord, shall not
be deemed to constitute an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of any preceding
default by Tenant, except as to the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of the preceding default at the time of acceptance of the
Rent.  No course of conduct between Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance of
the keys to or possession of the Premises by Landlord before the Expiration Date
shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Lease or of any default, or
operate as a surrender of this Lease.

     28.  Notices and Consents; Tenant's Agent for Service.  All notices,
          ------------------------------------------------               
approvals, consents, demands and other communications from one party to the
other given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be made by
personal delivery, by use of a reputable overnight courier service or by deposit
in the United States mail, certified, registered or Express, postage prepaid and
return receipt requested.  Notices shall be addressed if to Landlord, to
Landlord's Address, and if to Tenant, to Tenant's Address.  Landlord and Tenant
may each change their respective Addresses from time to time by giving written
notice to the other of such change in accordance with the terms of this Article
                                                                        -------
28, at least ten (10) days before such change is to be effected.  Any notice

given in accordance with this Article 28 shall be deemed to have been given (i)
                              ----------                                       
on the date of personal delivery or (ii) on the date of delivery (as shown by
the return receipt or other delivery record) if sent by courier service or
mailed.

     29.  Tenant's Authority.  Tenant, and each of the persons executing this
          ------------------                                                 
Lease on behalf of Tenant, represent and warrant that (i) Tenant is a duly
formed, authorized and existing corporation, partnership or trust (as the case
may be), (ii) Tenant is qualified to do business in California, (iii) Tenant has
the full right and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of
Tenant's obligations hereunder, and (iv) each person signing on behalf of Tenant
is authorized to do so.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord's
request, such certificates, resolutions, or other written assurances authorizing
Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease as is reasonably  requested by
Landlord from time to time or at any time in order for Landlord to assess
Tenant's then authority.

     30.  Automobile Parking.
          ------------------ 

          30.1.  Tenant's Appurtenant Parking Rights.  Subject to the terms and
                 -----------------------------------                           
conditions contained in this Article 30, Landlord shall make available to Tenant
                             ----------                                         
parking spaces in the parking areas designated by Landlord for parking in the
Marketplace (such areas being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Parking Facility").  Tenant shall have no right to park in the portion of the
parking areas cross hatched on Exhibit G attached to this Lease (the "Restricted
                               ---------                                        
Parking Area"). For purposes of this Lease, the term "Minimum Spaces" shall mean
an amount equal to the number of parking spaces in the Parking Facility as of
the date of this Lease, minus the number of parking spaces in the Restricted
Parking Area as of the date of this Lease.  Tenant shall at all times provide to
Landlord, upon Landlord's request, a list of all of the vehicle makes, colors
and license plate numbers of all vehicles of Tenant's employees.   Tenant's use
of the parking spaces to be made available to Tenant shall be on a non-exclusive
basis in common with other tenants in the Building; and parking in such spaces
shall be on a first-come-first-served, unassigned, non-reserved basis.  The
parking spaces to be made available to Tenant shall be in locations designated
by Landlord; and Landlord reserves the right to designate different locations
from time to time without any liability to Tenant and Tenant agrees that any
such designation of a different location shall not give rise to any claims or
offset against Landlord hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Landlord may restrict certain portions of the Parking Facility for
the exclusive use of one or more tenants of the Building (and their employees
and agents) and may designate other areas in the Parking Facility to be used at
large only by licensees, customers and invitees of tenants

                                      -25-

 
of the Building; and Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion restrict
or prohibit the use of the Parking Facility by any vehicles other than passenger
automobiles such as full-sized vans or trucks.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not exercise any of the foregoing rights in a manner which would
permanently reduce the total number of parking spaces available to Tenant on a
non-exclusive basis to a number less than the Minimum Spaces.  Tenant shall not
permit any vehicles belonging to Tenant or any of Tenant's subtenants or any of
their respective employees, agents, customers, contractors or invitees to be
loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for
such activities.  In its use of the Parking Facilities Tenant shall comply (and
shall cause each of its subtenants and each of their respective employees,
agents, customers, contractors and invitees to comply) with any and all parking
regulations and rules established from time to time by Landlord or Landlord's
parking operator.  Landlord or Landlord's parking operator shall have the right
to cause to be removed any vehicles of Tenant, its subtenants or any of their
respective employees, agents, licensees, customers or invitees, that are parked
in violation of any of the provisions of this Article 30 or of the regulations
                                              ----------                      
and rules then established by Landlord, and to charge all of the costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with such removal to Tenant and Tenant shall pay the
amount of all such costs to Landlord as additional rent within five (5) days
after receipt of written demand from Landlord.  Any such removal shall be
without liability of any kind to Landlord or Landlord's parking operator or
their respective employees or agents; and Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord's parking operator and their respective
employees and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, damages,
demands, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which may be
asserted against or incurred by any of such indemnified parties arising out of
or in connection with such removal of any automobiles, except to the extent that
such claims, losses, damages, demands, costs and expenses arise out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, or
contractors.

          30.2.  Parking Fee.  During the Term, Landlord shall impose no charge
                 -----------                                                   
on Tenant for use of the Parking Facility.

          30.3.  Allocation of Risk.  Landlord shall have no obligation to
                 ------------------                                       
monitor the use of the Parking Facility.  The use of the Parking Facility by the
employees of Tenant and its subtenants shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, its
subtenants and their respective employees.  Except to the extent caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, or
contractors, Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any injury
or damage to any person or property by or as a result of the use of the Parking
Facility by Tenant and its subtenants and their respective employees, whether by
theft, collision, criminal activity, or otherwise; and Tenant hereby assumes,
for itself, its subtenants and their respective employees (without the
obligation to indemnify Landlord), all risks associated with any such
occurrences in or about the Parking Facility.

          30.4.  Designated Spaces.  Landlord shall mark fifteen (15) parking
                 -----------------                                           
stalls adjacent to the entrance of the Building as visitor/short term parking.
Landlord shall have no obligation to monitor or supervise the proper use of such
spaces, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in connection with the
misuse of such spaces.

     31.  Tenant to Furnish Financial Statements.  In order to induce Landlord
          --------------------------------------                              
to enter into this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall promptly deliver to
Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord's written request, financial
statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income and expenses on an
annualized basis) reflecting Tenant's then current financial condition.  Such
statements shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's request.  Tenant represents and warrants that all
financial statements furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this
Lease are and shall be true, correct and complete in all respects.

     32.  Tenant's Signs.   Subject to the express provisions of this Section
          --------------                                                     
32, without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its
sole discretion, Tenant shall not place on the Premises or on the Building any
exterior signs nor any interior signs that are visible from the exterior of the
Premises or Building.  Tenant shall have the right to install signage on either
the south face or the east face of the roof of the Building, subject to approval
by the City of Emeryville and approval by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no
cost to Landlord, to assist Tenant in obtaining the required approvals from the
City of Emeryville.   In addition, Tenant shall have the right to display its
logo on the floors which comprise the Premises.  Tenant shall pay all costs and
expenses relating to any such sign approved by Landlord, including without
limitation, the cost of the installation, design construction, transportation
and maintenance of the sign.  On the date of expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all signs and
repair any damage caused by such removal.

contained in this Lease shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and
their respective successors and assigns.
 
          33.3.  Construction and Interpretation.  The words "Landlord" and
                 -------------------------------                           
"Tenant" include the plural as well as the singular.  If there is more than one
person comprising Tenant, the obligations under this Lease imposed on Tenant are
joint and several.  References to a party or parties refers to Landlord or
Tenant, or both, as the context may require.  The captions preceding the
Articles, Sections and subsections of this Lease are inserted solely for
convenience of reference and shall have no effect upon, and shall be disregarded
in connection with, the construction and interpretation of this Lease.  Use in
this Lease of the words "including", "such as", or words of similar import when
following a general matter, shall not be construed to limit such matter to the
enumerated items or matters whether or not language of nonlimitation (such as
"without limitation") is used with reference thereto.  All provisions of this
Lease have been negotiated at arm's length between the parties and after advice
by counsel and other representatives chosen by each party and the parties are
fully informed with respect thereto.  Therefore, this Lease shall not be
construed for or against either party by reason of the authorship or alleged
authorship of any provision hereof, or by reason of the status of the parties as
Landlord or Tenant, and the provisions of this Lease and the Exhibits hereto
shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning in order to
effectuate the intent of the parties under the terms of this Lease.

          33.4.  Severability.  If any provision of this Lease, or the
                 ------------                                         
application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or its application to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and
effect, unless enforcement of this Lease as so invalidated would be unreasonable
or grossly inequitable under the circumstances, or would frustrate the purposes
of this Lease.
 
          33.5.  Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Lease, together with the
                 ----------------------------

contains all the representations and the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior negotiations,

respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Marketplace, except as
expressly set forth in this Lease.  This Lease may be modified or amended only
by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

          33.6.  Governing Law.  This Lease shall be governed by and construed
                 -------------

third party claim) to enforce or interpret this Lease or otherwise arising out
of this Lease, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
entitled to its costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and accountants' fees.

          33.8.  Standards of Performance and Approvals.  Unless otherwise
                 --------------------------------------                   
provided in this Lease, (i) each party shall act in a reasonable manner in
exercising or undertaking its rights, duties and obligations under this Lease
and (ii) whenever approval, consent or satisfaction (collectively, an
"approval") is required of a party pursuant to this Lease or an Exhibit hereto,
such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Unless provision
is made for a specific time period, approval (or disapproval) shall be given
within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request for approval.  Nothing

exercise its business judgment in a subjective manner with respect to any matter
as to which it has been (A) specifically granted such right, (B) granted the
right to act in its sole discretion or sole judgment, or (C) granted the right

Lease.  The parties have set forth in this Lease their entire understanding with
respect to the terms, covenants, conditions and standards pursuant to which
their obligations are to be 

                                      -27-

                          TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
                          ----------------------------


This Tenant Improvement Agreement ("Agreement") is part of the Lease ("Lease")
relating to certain premises ("Premises") which are more particularly shown in
                                                                              
Exhibit A of the Lease.  Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to
- ---------                                                                    
the Improvements to be installed in the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements"):

1.   PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
     ------------------------

     A.   General Parameters.  The plans and specifications for the construction
          ------------------                                                    
          of the Tenant Improvements shall be developed by Landlord and Tenant
          and shall be consistent with and logical developments of the space
          plan for the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the Space
                                                   -----------           
          Plans"), which Space Plans have been approved by Landlord and Tenant.
          In developing the Space Plans, final space plans and working drawings,
          and in determining whether any change orders shall be requested,
          Tenant's architect shall initially create such plans and drawings,
          with the input of Landlord and/or Landlord's architect, and any plans
          shall be subject to the approval of Landlord and its architect which
          approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     B.   Working Drawings.  Within 20 days after the date of this Lease, Tenant
          ----------------                                                      
          shall prepare and submit to Landlord two sets of (i) fully dimensioned
          scale drawings for the Tenant Improvements (including plans,
          elevations, sections, materials and samples), and (ii) specifications
          for the Tenant Improvements (including a specification and
          justification of Tenant's utility requirements) (collectively, the
          "Working Drawings").  The Working Drawings shall be subject to
          Landlord's written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
          withheld.  Within 5 business days after receipt of the Working
          Drawings, Landlord shall return one set of the same with Landlord's
          approval noted thereon (which approval may be subject to Landlord's
          suggested modifications), or with Landlord's disapproval noted thereon
          (which disapproval shall be accompanied by Landlord's suggested
          modifications).  If Landlord has approved the Working Drawings subject
          to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be acceptable
          to and approved by Tenant, unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit
          revised Working Drawings for further consideration by Landlord within
          5 days after receipt of Landlord's comments.  If Landlord has
          disapproved the Working Drawings, Tenant shall promptly prepare and
          resubmit revised Working Drawings, with changes highlighted, to
          Landlord and Landlord shall approve or disapprove the same within  5
          business days after receipt thereof.   The Working Drawings which have
          been approved by Landlord and Tenant are hereinafter referred to as
          the "Approved Working Drawings."

     C.   Landlord's Approval.  Landlord, in its sole discretion, may withhold
          -------------------                                                 
          its approval of any plans (including any change orders affecting such
          documents), to the extent such documents require work that:

          (a) will increase the cost of operation or maintenance of any of the
          systems of the Building, above levels customary for general office use
          (unless Tenant agrees to pay such increase in cost (with respect to
          mechanical and electrical systems only));

          (b)  does not conform to applicable building code or is not approved
          by any governmental, quasi-governmental, or utility authority with
          jurisdiction over the Premises;

          (c)  is not of a first-class character, quality or appearance,
          consistent with the overall character, quality and appearance of the
          Building;

     D.   Cost Estimates.  Landlord shall obtain a cost estimate from its
          --------------                                                 
          contractor based on the approved preliminary plans and specifications
          and Approved Working Drawings, respectively, and Tenant shall have
          five (5) business days after the date of submission to Tenant of each
          cost estimate to approve or disapprove it. Such cost estimates shall
          be based on competitive bids at the subcontractor level (excluding
          design/build trades ("Design/Build

                                      -32-

 
          Trades") for HVAC, electrical, plumbing and sprinklers), and the
          lowest bid shall be selected unless otherwise approved in writing by
          Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant disapproves the amount of the lowest
          bid, Tenant shall have the right to have the work for which such bid
          has been given to be re-bid one time to such subcontractors as each of
          Landlord and Tenant shall nominate. A cost estimate shall be deemed
          approved if Tenant fails to disapprove it within the five (5) business
          day period. If Tenant disapproves a cost estimate, Tenant shall have
          five (5) business days after the date of disapproval to reduce the
          cost estimate by agreeing to modifications to the plans and
          specifications or to the Approved Working Drawings, which
          modifications shall be subject to the prior written approval of
          Landlord. If Tenant disapproves a cost estimate but fails to approve
          modifications which will reduce the cost estimate within the five (5)
          business day period, then such action (and all delays arising out of
          such action) shall constitute a Tenant Delay pursuant to Section 7 of
          this Agreement.

     E.   Tenant's Approval.  Whenever an approval is required to be given by
          -----------------                                                  
          Tenant or Landlord under this Agreement, and such approval or
          disapproval is not given in writing within the required time period,
          then the approval shall be deemed given.  Whenever Tenant's or
          Landlord's approval is required pursuant to the terms of this
          Agreement, the approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          Tenant's and Landlord's approvals or disapprovals shall be in writing.

     F.   Termination.  If this Agreement and the Lease are terminated by
          -----------                                                    
          Landlord pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
          parties' rights and obligations hereunder shall be discharged;
          provided, however, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days
          after the date of Tenant's receipt of a statement for the same, the
          costs incurred by Landlord through the date of termination in
          connection with the preparation of any plans, drawings, and
          specifications and all costs incurred by Landlord in applying for any
          governmental approvals, including a building permit, required for
          construction of the Tenant Improvements.

2.   CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
     ----------------------------------- 

     A.   Construction by Landlord. Landlord shall cause construction of the
     --   ------------------------                       
          Tenant Improvements to be completed in a good and workmanlike manner
          in compliance with all laws and in accordance with the working
          Drawings, using materials of good quality, with Landlord using
          reasonable efforts to cause such construction to be substantially
          completed in an expeditious manner (subject to delays caused by
          Tenant). Landlord shall provide from its own funds, to be used for the
          payment of Tenant Improvement Costs, an amount not to exceed the
          amount of $608,760.00 (the "Base Allowance"). If the entire Base
          Allowance is not needed for the payment of Tenant Improvement Costs,
          then Landlord shall have the absolute right to retain any unused
          portion of the Base Allowance, and Tenant shall have no right to any
          rent credits or reductions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
          2.B of this Agreement, Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of
          the following construction work, and the following work shall not be
          included in the "Tenant Improvement Cost": (i) providing the existing
          HVAC equipment in good working order (the cost of distribution of HVAC
          within the Premises and the cost of all upgrades to the HVAC and
          electrical systems shall be Tenant Improvement Costs), (ii)
          installation of the main sprinkler line (fire sprinkler drops and
          heads will be a Tenant Improvement Cost), (iii) floor leveling to
          remedy any slab defects, (iv) Landlord's construction management fee,
          (v) any payment or performance bonds required by Landlord, (vi) the
          incremental additional costs (including design engineering and permit
          fees) attributable solely to the one-hour rating of the existing
          ceiling in the Premises including only additional costs associated
          with lighting, HVAC distribution and electrical power distribution
          (subject to Landlord's right to require reasonable modifications of
          the Working Drawings to reduce these additional costs without
          materially diminishing the quality, appearance, or functionality of
          such improvements, or delay the completion of construction or increase
          the cost of such improvements), (vii) any ADA or Title 24 work
          required in the elevator lobbies or restrooms in the common areas of
          the Building or the Marketplace, (viii) premium time labor costs, (ix)
          financing costs, and (x) attorneys' fees incurred in connection with
          the negotiation and enforcement of construction contracts.

     B.   Tenant Improvements Cost.  The Tenant Improvements cost ("Tenant
          ------------------------                                        
          Improvements Cost")

                                      -33-

 
          to be paid by Landlord, subject to the provisions of Section 3
          of this Agreement, shall include, but not be limited to:

          (i)  All costs of preliminary and final architectural and engineering
               plans, drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements,
               and engineering costs associated with completion of the State of
               California energy utilization calculations under Title 24
               legislation;

          (ii) All costs of obtaining building permits and other necessary
               authorizations from the applicable governmental authority (e.g.,
                                                                          ---  
               the City in which the Building is located);

          (iii)  All costs of interior design and finish schedule plans,
               drawings and specifications including as-built drawings;

          (iv) All direct and indirect costs of procuring and installing Tenant
               Improvements in the Premises, including the contractor's fee for
               profit (which shall not exceed 5% of total construction costs),
               contractor's general conditions in connection with construction
               of the tenant Improvements, not to exceed Four Thousand dollars
               ($4,000.00) per week of construction;

          (v)  General conditions shall include, without limitation, costs
               associated with management, supervision, field coordination,
               temporary facilities and utilities, field office costs, layout,
               safety, daily clean-up and G&A expenses;

          (vi)  Sewer connection fees, if any;

          (vii)  Fire and Builder's All-Risk insurance and public liability
               insurance premiums and fees.

3.   EXCESS TENANT IMPROVEMENTS COST.  If the total Tenant Improvements Cost is
     -------------------------------                                           
     more than the Base Allowance, then the excess Tenant Improvements Cost (the
     "Excess Costs"), as reasonably determined by Landlord  based on approved
     construction contracts, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, in cash, in
     accordance with the following procedure.  Failure of Tenant to pay the
     Excess Costs to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
     shall constitute a default by Tenant under the Lease and shall entitle
     Landlord to exercise all of its rights and remedies described in Section 20
     of the Lease.  Before commencement of construction of the Tenant
     Improvements, Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of the Excess
     approximately $1.1 million Costs, and Tenant shall immediately deposit in a
     checking account in the joint names of Landlord and Tenant (the "Set-aside
     Account") the amount of the estimated Excess Costs. Each payment for the
     Tenant Improvements Costs shall be made partially by Landlord and partially
     from the Set-aside Account in the proportion that the amount of the Base
     Allowance bears to the amount of the Excess Costs; provided, however, that
     Landlord shall have no obligation to expend more than the Base Allowance.
     If at any time Landlord reasonably determines that the unpaid amount of the
     projected Excess Costs exceeds the amount remaining in the Set-aside
     Account, then Tenant shall promptly deposit in the Set-aside Account an
     amount equal to such shortfall.

4.   CHANGE REQUESTS.
     --------------- 

(i)  No changes to the Approved Working Drawings requested by Tenant shall be
     made without Landlord's prior approval, which approval shall not be
     unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no change request shall
     affect the structure of the Building.  Any changes to the Approved Working
     Drawings shall be in writing and shall be signed by both Landlord and
     Tenant prior to the change being made.  Tenant shall not instruct or direct
     Contractor workmen, subcontractors, material suppliers, or others
     performing the Tenant Improvements construction.  Tenant shall direct all
     inquiries and requests relating to the construction work to Landlord or
     Landlord's designated agent.  Tenant shall be responsible for any added
     costs or delays resulting from Tenant's actions which are contrary to this
     Paragraph 4.

(ii) (a) Tenant shall pay into the Set-aside Account in cash, within three (3)
     days after Landlord approves any change order, Landlord's reasonable
     estimate of any additional costs for changes requested by Tenant,
     including, without limitation, architectural fees and increases in
     construction costs caused by the changes, and Tenant shall be responsible
     for the payment of all such additional 

                                      -34-

 
      costs; (b) a change request shall constitute an agreement by Tenant to any
      reasonable delay in substantial completion caused by reviewing, processing
      and implementing the change, provided that Tenant is notified at the time
      of such request of the anticipated duration of such delay, at which time
      Tenant may withdraw its request for change without consequence; and (c)
      the Lease, at Landlord's option, shall commence on the date it would have
      otherwise commenced but for any such delays.

(iii) As soon as reasonably possible after receipt of a written change request
      from Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's approval or
      disapproval of the request; and, if the request is approved, of an
      estimated increase or decrease in costs and an estimate of the effect the
      change shall have on the projected date for substantial completion of the
      Tenant Improvements, and Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its
      request for change without incurring costs or delay within two (2) days
      after receiving notification of the estimated increases or decrease in
      costs and the estimated amount of delay resulting from such change.

(iv)  Landlord shall have the authority, without the consent of Tenant, to order
      minor changes in the Tenant Improvements not involving an increase in cost
      to Tenant or a delay in the Commencement Date and not inconsistent with
      the intent of the Approved Working Drawings.

5.    COOPERATION. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate and diligently assist the
      -----------
      architect, engineer or space planner in completing the Approved Working
      Drawings and specifications and the Contractor in completing construction
      of the Tenant Improvements. At all times during the design and
      construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall have the right to
      rely on all statements and written directives received by Landlord from
      Desi Rodriguez, as the authorized representative of Tenant.

6.    CONDITION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.  Within seven (7) days after the
      --------------------------------                                  
      Commencement Date, Tenant shall "walk-through" the Premises with Landlord
      and they shall complete a punch-list of items needing additional work by
      Landlord.  Other than the items specified in the punch-list, by taking
      possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the
      Premises and the Building in good, clean and completed condition and
      repair, subject to all applicable laws, codes and ordinances and latent
      defects. For purposes of determining the "Commencement Date", the work of
      improvement required by Landlord shall be deemed to be substantially
      complete when (i) Landlord has received temporary approval by the
      applicable building inspector sufficient to permit Tenant to legally
      occupy the Premises, (ii) substantial completion of all Tenant
      Improvements to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to this Agreement has
      occurred, except for punchlist items which do not materially interfere
      with Tenant's ability to use the Premises and such work as Landlord is
      required to perform but cannot complete until Tenant performs necessary
      portions of construction work it has elected or is required to do, and
      (Iii) all of the Building's sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating,
      air conditioning and other building service systems (to the extent they
      serve the main lobby or corridors, aisles and walkways used for access to
      the Premises or serve or run through the Premises) and the systems serving
      the Premises have been completed (except for punch list items) in
      acordance with the provisions of this Agreement and are in good order and
      operating condition. The punch-list shall not include any damage to the
      Premises or the Building caused by Tenant's move-in, which damage shall be
      promptly repaired or corrected by Tenant at its sole expense. If Tenant
      fails to complete a punch-list with Landlord's cooperation within the
      seven (7) day period specified above, it shall be deemed that there are no
      items needing additional work or repair. Contractor shall complete all
      reasonable punch-list items within thirty (30) days after the walk-through
      inspection or as soon as practicable thereafter and upon notification of
      completion of the punch-list items, Tenant shall approve or state its
      reasons for disapproval of the completed items in writing to Landlord
      within seven (7) days or such items shall be deemed approved by Tenant.

7.    TENANT DELAYS.  If the date of delivery of the Premises to Tenant by
      -------------                                                       
      Landlord is delayed beyond the date anticipated by Landlord, then to the
      extent the cause of the delay in the delivery of the Premises is
      attributable to Tenant, the date of delivery of the Premises for purposes
      of calculating the Commencement Date and the commencement of Rent shall be
      the date the delivery of the Premises would have occurred but for such
      delay.  Payments for any partial month shall be prorated on the basis of a
      thirty (30) day month.  Delays attributable to Tenant shall include those
      caused by:

     (i)  Tenant's failure to furnish information to Landlord for the
          preparation of plans and drawings for the Tenant Improvements in
          accordance with this Exhibit C;
                               --------- 

     (ii) Tenant's request for special materials, finishes or installations
          which are not readily 

                                      -35-

 
           available;

     (iii) Tenant's failure to reasonably approve or disapprove plans and
           working drawings in accordance with this Exhibit C;
                                                    --------- 

     (iv)  Tenant's change requests pursuant to this Exhibit C that result in
                                                     ---------               
           delays;

     (v)   Tenant's failure to approve or disapprove cost estimates if any
           approvals are required pursuant to this Exhibit C; and
                                                   ---------     

     (vi)  Interference with Landlord's work caused by Tenant or by Tenant's
           agents.

8.   TENANT IMPROVEMENTS COST AND RENT ADJUSTMENT STATEMENT.  Within one hundred
     ------------------------------------------------------                     
     twenty (120) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide
     Tenant with a statement of the Tenant Improvements Cost.  The statement
     shall include the balance due Landlord, if any (which shall be paid within
     ten (10) days as additional rent).

9.   TENANT'S RIGHT TO INSTALL TRADE FIXTURES.  When the construction of the
     ----------------------------------------                               
     Tenant Improvements has proceeded to the point where Tenant's work of
     installing its fixtures and equipment (including telephone systems,
     cabling, and communication systems) in the Premises can be commenced in
     accordance with good construction practices and will not interfere with the
     completion of the Tenant Improvements by Landlord, Landlord shall notify
     Tenant to that effect and shall permit Tenant and its authorized
     representatives and contractors to have access to the Premises for the
     purpose of installing Tenant's trade fixtures and equipment.  Any such
     installation work by Tenant or its authorized representatives and
     contractors shall be undertaken at their sole risk, upon all of the terms
     of the Lease, including provisions of the Lease regarding indemnification
     and insurance, except that Tenant shall not be obligated solely as a result
     of such entry to pay any rent.  Tenant shall correct all damage to the
     Premises caused by such entry.

10.  OWNERSHIP OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. To the extent the Tenant Improvements are
     --------------------------------                           
     constructed with funds of Tenant, such Tenant Improvements shall become the
     property of Tenant upon installation and Tenant shall have the right to
     depreciate and claim and collect investment tax credits in such Tenant
     Improvements; provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall not remove or alter
     such Tenant Improvements during the term of the Lease, except as otherwise
     permitted under the Lease; (ii) Tenant may not remove such Tenant
     Improvements; (iii) upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
     Tenant shall not be required to remove such Tenant Improvements, which
     Tenant Improvements shall upon expiration or earlier termination of the
     Lease automatically become the property of Landlord.

                             RULES AND REGULATIONS

     1.  The sidewalks, entrances, lobby, elevators, stairways and public

to be prescribed by Landlord. Upon removal of such items by Tenant any damage to
the walls or other surfaces, except minor nail holes, shall be repaired by

Landlord may designate reserved parking areas for car pools, vanpools or 
reserved parking.

     18. Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for 
the benefit of Tenant or any other tenant, but no such waiver by Landlord shall 
be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of Tenant or any
other tenant, or prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules and 
Regulations against any or all of the tenants of the Building.

     19. Tenant shall be deemed to have read these Rules and Regulations and to 
have agreed to abide by them as a condition to his occupancy of the Premises.
