obligations  under the Phase II Purchase  Agreement shall be suspended until the
earlier to occur of: (a) the date on which  Optionee  acquires  the PG&E  Option
Property  pursuant  to the First  Option (in which  event the Phase II  Purchase
Agreement  shall  automatically  terminate on such date and neither  party shall
have any  further  obligations  thereunder);  or (b) the date on which  Optionee
fails, for any reason, to 





acquire the PG&E Option Property pursuant to the First Option.

                  2.5.  Amount  of First  Option  Purchase  Price.  In the event
Optionee  exercises the First Option,  the First Option  Purchase  Price for the
PG&E Option Property shall be the aggregate of: (i) the Net Stipulated  Value of
the PG&E Property (as defined in the Leasehold Improvements Agreement); (ii) all
Aggregate Development Costs (as defined in the Leasehold Improvements Agreement)
(except to the extent that such Aggregate Development Costs have been or will be
paid by Optionee on or before the  Closing  Date) other than the Net  Stipulated
Value of the PG&E Property and other than the Agreed Take-Out  Financing Closing
Costs (as defined in the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement)  incurred or to be
incurred on or before the Closing Date (whether or not then paid) and ultimately
paid or to be paid by  Optionor;  (iii) any  amount  by which  the First  Option
Purchase Price is increased in accordance  with the provisions of Section 2.6.B;
(iv) all break-up  fees and other fees,  costs and charges,  of the kinds and to
the extent  described in Section 1.3, which are incurred and ultimately  paid or
to be paid by Optionor in connection with the  arrangements  for and termination
of any  agreements for the provision of funds for equity  capital,  Construction
Financing  and  Take-Out  Financing  for the  Project,  to the extent  that such
agreements are terminated in connection with the exercise of the First Option by
Optionee or in  connection  with the  termination  of the Lease (if the Lease is
terminated in connection with Optionee's  purchase of the PG&E Option Property);
provided,  however,  that the aggregate  amount of such fees,  costs and charges
will not exceed  the  Break-Up  Fee  Maximum  Amount;  and (v) the amount of the
Development  Management  Fee for the  period  commencing  on January 1, 1998 and
ending on the  Closing  Date  (which  Development  Management  Fee for the month
during which the Closing  Date occurs  shall be prorated  based on a thirty (30)
day month) to the extent such  Development  Management Fee is actually  incurred
(whether or not then paid) prior to the Closing Date and which is  ultimately to
be paid by Optionor.  The $30,000 limitation in the last sentence of Section 1.3
is intended to apply only to amounts actually paid or incurred prior to December
1, 1997. In addition,  if the provisions of Section 23 apply, then Optionee also
shall pay to Optionor the Contingent  Purchase Price in accordance  with Section
23.

                  2.6.  Agreement  of the  Parties as to First  Option  Purchase
Price.

                         A.  Commencing on the date that Optionee  exercises the
First  Option,  and  continuing  thereafter  for a period of fifteen  (15) days,
Optionee  and  Optionor  shall meet and confer as soon and as  frequently  as is
reasonably  possible  to  endeavor in good faith to agree upon the amount of the
First Option Purchase Price.  If the parties reach  agreement,  the First Option
Purchase Price shall be the amount to which the parties have agreed.

                         B. If the  parties are not able to so agree,  then,  by
5:00 p.m. on the last day of the fifteen  (15) day period  described  in Section
2.6.A,  each  party  shall  deliver  to the  other  party in  writing  its final
determination of the First Option Purchase Price. If the difference  between the
parties'  determinations  of the First Option Purchase Price exceeds One Hundred
Thousand  Dollars  ($100,000.00),  then the First Option Purchase Price shall be
established through  arbitration  conducted in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6 hereof, and the Closing Date shall be postponed without further act of
the parties  until the fifteenth  (15th) day following the final  issuance of an
award by the arbitrator. In the event that the Closing Date is so postponed, the
First Option  Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount
of  interest  which  would  have  accrued on that  portion  of the First  Option
Purchase Price which (i) is net of any payments  Optionor would have to pay PG&E
upon its purchase of the PG&E Option  Property under the terms of the Asset Sale
Agreement,  and  (ii)  was not the  subject  of  dispute  between  Optionor  and
Optionee, at a rate equal to the "prime," "index" or "reference" rate of Bank of
America NT&SA plus one hundred  (100) basis  points,  during the period from the
date upon which the Closing Date would have  occurred  but for the  postponement
under this  Section  2.6.B.  However,  if the  difference  between the  parties'
determinations  of the  First  Option  Purchase  Price is One  Hundred  Thousand




dollars ($100,000.00) or less, then the Closing Date shall not be postponed, and
on or before the Closing Date,  Optionee  shall deposit in Escrow in immediately
available funds an amount which,  when added to the deposit described in Section
2.3, shall equal the greater of the parties'  determinations of the First Option
Purchase Price. On the Closing Date,  Escrow shall close with an amount equal to
the lesser of the parties'  determinations  of the First Option  Purchase  Price
disbursed in accordance with this Option Agreement.  The difference  between the
parties'  determinations  of the First  Option  Purchase  Price shall be held in
Escrow after the Closing Date in an  interest-bearing  account pursuant to joint
escrow instructions  executed by Optionor,  Optionee and the Title Company on or
before  the  Closing  Date  until the  actual  First  Option  Purchase  Price is
established  through arbitration in accordance with Section 6 hereof. The amount
held in Escrow after the Closing Date and all accrued  interest thereon shall be
disbursed in accordance with the arbitrator's final award (and the parties shall
pay to each other any other amount specified in such final award).

                  2.7.  Payment  of  First  Option  Purchase  Price.  Except  as
otherwise  provided in Section 2.6.B,  the First Option  Purchase Price shall be
paid by  Optionee  to Optionor  in cash or  immediately  available  funds at the
closing of the Escrow.

                  2.8. Closing of the Escrow Following Exercise of First Option.
Following an effective  exercise by Optionee of the First Option, and subject to
the conditions in Section 9.6.A, the closing of the Escrow shall occur on a date
selected by Optionor by ten (10) days prior  written  notice to Optionee,  which
date shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than fifty (50) days  following
the  receipt  by  Optionor  of the  notice of  exercise  of the First  Option by
Optionee, unless the Closing Date is postponed in accordance with the provisions
of Sections  2.6.B,  2.9 or 19..D.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if Optionee
requests an earlier Closing Date, then Optionor shall promptly make such request
of PG&E under the Asset Sale Agreement,  and the parties shall use  commercially
reasonable  efforts  to close the  Escrow  on the date  requested  by  Optionee.
Optionor shall use commercially  reasonable efforts to cause PG&E to perform its
obligations under the Asset Sale Agreement on or before the Closing Date.

                  2.9.  Delays in  Closing  of the  Escrow.  In the  event  that
Optionor  is  delayed in closing  the  Escrow  for the  acquisition  of the PG&E
Property  from PG&E (or, if Optionor has made the election  described in Section
2.13,  there is a delay in the readiness of PG&E to close the  conveyance of the
PG&E Property to Optionee),  and such delay is caused in whole or in part by any
factor other than a default by Optionor in the  performance  of its  obligations
under the agreements between Optionor and PG&E pertaining to the purchase of the
PG&E  Property by Optionor,  then the Closing  Date shall be  postponed  without
further act of the parties to the date which is five (5) business days following
the closing of escrow for the acquisition of the PG&E Property from PG&E (or, if
applicable,  the readiness of PG&E to close the  conveyance of the PG&E Property
to  Optionee).  If the  Closing  Date has not  occurred  by June 1, 1998 for the
reasons  stated in this Section 2.9, then Optionee  shall have until the earlier
of the  acquisition  of PG&E Property by Optionee or July 1, 1998 to give notice
to Optionor terminating this Option Agreement and the Escrow,  without prejudice
to any rights  Optionee may then have, and without  terminating  the Lease,  the
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  or the Phase II Purchase  Agreement.  If the
Closing  Date has not  occurred  by July 1, 1999,  then this  Agreement  and the
Escrow shall  automatically  terminate,  without  prejudice to the rights either
party may then have.

                  2.10. Condition of First Option Title.

                        A. In the event  Optionee  exercises  the First  Option,
Optionor  shall  convey  title to the PG&E  Property  subject only to: (i) those
matters  listed as  exception  nos. 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 of the  Exceptions
from  Coverage  set forth in  Schedule B - Section 2 of that  certain  pro forma
owner's policy of title  insurance,  prepared by the Title Company,  dated as of
August 8, 





1997 (Commitment No.  8-188141SB  Fourth Amended  Supplemental)  (the "Pro Forma
Policy"), and any matter which is or would be disclosed by an accurate survey of
the PG&E  Property;  (ii) any  matters  arising  from the acts or  omissions  of
Optionee; (iii) any lien, encumbrance or other matter consented to in writing by
Optionee;  (iv) the lien of  current,  non-delinquent  real  property  taxes and
assessments; (v) the Lease; (vi) the Leasehold Improvements Agreement; (vii) the
Development  Agreement;  (viii) the Parking Easement Agreement;  (ix) the Access
Agreement;  (x) the easements reserved in the PG&E Deed (as defined in the Phase
II Purchase  Agreement) to be recorded on or before the Closing  Date;  (xi) the
covenants and restrictions  set forth in the Encroachment  Agreement (as defined
in the Phase II  Purchase  Agreement)  to be  recorded  on or before the Closing
Date; (xii) the terms of the Environmental Agreement (as defined in the Phase II
Purchase  Agreement) to be recorded on or before the Closing Date;  and,  (xiii)
the Declaration.  Such matters are hereinafter  referred to as the "First Option
Permitted Exceptions". In the event that Optionor requests that Optionee consent
to the creation of any lien,  encumbrance,  reservation or dedication  affecting
the  title  to the PG&E  Property,  Optionee  shall  not  unreasonably  delay or
withhold  its  consent,  and  shall  only  withhold  its  consent  if the  lien,
encumbrance,  reservation or dedication: (i) would interfere with the use of the
PG&E Property for the purposes set forth in the Lease; or, (ii) if pertaining to
a lien securing the payment of money,  will not be paid and removed on or before
close of Escrow and such payment would not constitute or have constituted a part
of Aggregate Development Cost.

                        B. In the event that Optionor is unable to deliver title
to the PG&E  Property  to  Optionee  in the  condition  required  by this Option
Agreement,  Optionor  shall so notify  Optionee in writing,  and Optionee  shall
thereafter  notify  Optionor,  within five (5)  business  days of the receipt by
Optionee of such notice from  Optionor,  whether or not Optionee  objects to the
lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other  matter  which is not  consistent  with the
provisions of this Option Agreement regarding the condition of title to the PG&E
Property. If Optionee so objects by written notice to Optionor given within such
period,  then  Optionor  shall have a period of ten (10)  business days from the
receipt by Optionor of such notice of objection from Optionee in which to remove
the lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other matter to which  Optionee has objected.
Optionee  shall not object,  however,  unless the lien,  encumbrance,  defect or
other matter would  interfere with the use of the PG&E Property for the purposes
set forth in the Lease or pertains to a lien securing the payment of money which
will not be paid and removed on or before close of Escrow. If Optionor is unable
to remove such lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other  matter  within such period,
Optionee may (as its sole and exclusive  remedy,  unless the matter  objected to
was caused or created by the bad faith acts or omissions of Optionor)  terminate
this Option Agreement,  the Lease, the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement and the
Phase II Purchase Agreement (but not less than all of them) by written notice to
Optionor  given within ten (10) days of  expiration of the ten (10) business day
period during which Optionor could have caused the lien, encumbrance,  defect or
other matter to be removed from title.  In the event that  Optionee  does not so
terminate this Option Agreement, the Lease, the Leasehold Improvements Agreement
and the Phase II Purchase Agreement,  then Optionee shall conclusively be deemed
to have waived its objection to the lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other matter,
which shall then become a part of the Permitted Exceptions.



                  2.11.  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES  FOR BREACH BY  OPTIONEE  FOLLOWING
EXERCISE OF FIRST  OPTION.  OPTIONOR AND OPTIONEE  HEREBY AGREE THAT THE DAMAGES
WHICH  WOULD BE  SUFFERED  BY  OPTIONOR  IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT  BY  OPTIONEE
HEREUNDER IN PURCHASING THE PG&E PROPERTY  FOLLOWING ANY EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF
THE FIRST OPTION  (EXCLUDING ANY ADDITIONAL  COSTS OF FINANCING AND CONSTRUCTION
(THE "ADDITIONAL  COSTS"),  AS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 2.12),  WOULD BE EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT  AND  IMPRACTICABLE  TO  ASCERTAIN,  AND THAT  THE SUM OF ONE  MILLION
DOLLARS  ($1,000,000.00)  (THE "FIRST OPTION LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") REPRESENTS THE
REASONABLE  ESTIMATE BY THE PARTIES OF THE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGES  (EXCLUDING THE
ADDITIONAL  COSTS) THAT OPTIONOR  WOULD SUFFER BY REASON OF OPTIONEE'S  DEFAULT.
OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR  UNDERSTAND  AND AGREE THAT OPTIONOR WILL HAVE CHANGED ITS
POSITION IN RELIANCE  UPON THE EXERCISE OF THE FIRST  OPTION BY  OPTIONEE,  THAT
OPTIONOR WILL INCUR SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES AS A RESULT OF SUCH DEFAULT, AND THAT THE
FIRST OPTION LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE A REASONABLE  LIQUIDATED DAMAGE AMOUNT UNDER
THE  EXISTING  CIRCUMSTANCES.  ACCORDINGLY,  IN THE EVENT  ESCROW DOES NOT CLOSE
BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT BY OPTIONEE HEREUNDER FOLLOWING THE EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF
THE  FIRST  OPTION,  OPTIONOR  SHALL BE  ENTITLED  TO RETAIN  THE  FIRST  OPTION
LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES AS LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES,  AND NOT AS A PENALTY OR FORFEITURE,
AND UPON RECEIPT OF SUCH AMOUNT BY OPTIONOR,  THE SAME SHALL BE OPTIONOR'S  SOLE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR OPTIONEE'S DEFAULT AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AND OPTIONEE AND
OPTIONOR SHALL BE RELIEVED OF ANY FURTHER  OBLIGATIONS  OR LIABILITY  HEREUNDER,
EXCEPT THAT OPTIONEE SHALL REMAIN OBLIGATED TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL COSTS REQUIRED
PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12, IT BEING AGREED THAT THE  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES  PAYABLE
PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.11 ARE NOT  APPLICABLE TO SUCH  ADDITIONAL  COSTS AND
THAT THE  COVENANTS  OF  OPTIONEE  PURSUANT  TO SECTION  2.12 SHALL  SURVIVE THE
TERMINATION OF THIS  AGREEMENT.  OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR INTEND AND AGREE THAT THE
TERMS OF THIS SECTION 2.11 COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTIONS 1671 AND 1677. OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR SHALL SIGN BELOW THIS SECTION 2.11
INDICATING THEIR AGREEMENT TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGE CLAUSE HEREIN CONTAINED.

                                    OPTIONOR:

                                    Village Builders, L.P.,
                                    a California limited partnership

                                    By   VPI, Inc., a California corporation, 
                                         its General Partner

                                         By
                                           -------------------------------------
                                              
                                           Its
                                              ----------------------------------

                                    OPTIONEE:

                                    Fair, Isaac and Company, Inc.,
                                    a Delaware corporation





                                         By
                                           -------------------------------------
                                              
                                           Its
                                              ----------------------------------


                  2.12.  Additional Costs. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees
that an  exercise  of the  First  Option  and a  subsequent  default  by  Tenant
hereunder  may  result  in a delay in the  construction  of the  Site and  Shell
Improvements.  In the event of a default by Optionee hereunder in purchasing the
PG&E Option  Property  following  any exercise by Optionee of the First  Option,
then: (i) Optionor may elect, by written notice to Optionee,  to redesignate the
Designated  Treasury Date in  accordance  with the  procedures  set forth in the
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement;  and, (ii) any  increased  costs of whatever
nature  incurred by Optionor in  connection  with such default or in  connection
with any delay in the  construction  of the Site and Shell  Improvements  or the
Tenant  Improvements  occurring  in  connection  with,  or resulting  from,  the
exercise of the First Option or such default (including, without limitation, all
costs actually  incurred by Optionor in connection with providing equity or debt
capital for the Project and the  improvements  to be constructed on the Phase II
Land at the same time as the  construction  of the Project) shall be paid in the
same manner as Phase II Current Costs. In no event shall Optionor have the right
to terminate  the Lease,  the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement or the Phase II
Purchase  Agreement  following a default by Optionee hereunder in purchasing the
PG&E Option Property following the exercise by Optionee of the First Option. The
rights of Optionor  set forth in this  Section 2.12 are intended by Optionor and
Optionee to supersede any  inconsistent  provisions of the Lease,  the Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement,  the Phase II Purchase Agreement or any other agreement
between Optionor and Optionee.

                  2.13.   Assignment  of  Asset  Sale  Agreement.   If  Optionee
exercises  the First  Option,  and provided  that  Optionor has obtained  PG&E's
written consent,  Optionor may elect, in its sole  discretion,  by delivering to
Optionee  written notice (together with a copy of PG&E's written consent) at any
time before the Closing  Date,  in lieu of the  conveyance  of title to the PG&E
Property to Optionee  at the  closing of the Escrow,  to assign to Optionee  all
right, title and interest which Optionor then has under the existing  agreements
between  Optionor and PG&E for the acquisition of the PG&E Property by Optionor.
If  Optionor  so elects,  Optionor  and  Optionee  shall  execute and deliver an
Assignment  of Asset Sale  Agreement,  in the form attached as Exhibit E, at the
closing of the Escrow and Optionee shall close the acquisition  transaction with
PG&E on the Closing Date.

                  2.14.  Right to Redesignate  Designated  Treasury Rate. In the
event of a default by Optionee  hereunder in purchasing the PG&E Option Property
following  any exercise by Optionee of the First  Option,  Optionor may elect to
redesignate the Designated  Treasury Rate in accordance with Section 19.2.(C) of
the Leasehold Improvements Agreement.


         3.       SECOND OPTION.

                  3.1.  Grant  of  Second  Option.  Optionor  hereby  grants  to
Optionee  an option and right (the  "Second  Option")  to  purchase  the Phase I
Option  Property at the price and on both the terms and  conditions set forth in
this Section 3 and the terms and  conditions  set forth in the remainder of this
Option  Agreement (other than in Sections 2 and 4, the provisions of which shall
not  be  applicable  to  the  Second  Option  herein  granted).  Subject  to the
provisions of Section 21, Optionor shall, however, be obligated to construct the
improvements  required to be constructed  by 





Optionor pursuant to the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement prior to the closing
of the Escrow,  as more fully  provided in Section  3.8,  and such  improvements
shall be deemed to be a part of the Phase I Option  Property upon the completion
of such construction.

                  3.2.  Term  of Second  Option.  The Second Option and the term
thereof shall commence on the date hereof,  and shall terminate on the date (the
"Second  Option Term  Expiration  Date") which is the later to occur of: (i) the
fifth (5th) day following the execution of the Development Agreement by the City
of San Rafael; or, (ii) February 2, 1998. The foregoing notwithstanding,  in the
event that, for any reason, a Development  Agreement is not executed by the City
of San Rafael on or before May 1, 1998,  then the Second Term Option  Expiration
Date  shall  be May  15,  1998.  Optionee  shall  have  the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to exercise the Second  Option at or before 5:00 p.m. on the Second
Option Term Expiration Date.

                  3.3. Method of Exercise of Second Option. In order to exercise
the Second Option,  Optionee  shall,  before 5:00 p.m. on the Second Option Term
Expiration Date,  deliver to Optionor an unconditional  and irrevocable  written
notice of such exercise. Within five (5) days after that exercise,  Optionor and
Optionee shall execute standard form escrow  instructions  which are provided by
the Title  Company and which are in all  respects  consistent  with the terms of
this Option Agreement,  at which time Optionee shall then deposit the sum of Two
Million Seven Hundred  Thousand Dollars  ($2,700,000.00)  in cash or immediately
available funds as a  non-refundable  deposit against the Second Option Purchase
Price, which deposit shall be applicable to the Second Option Purchase Price for
the Phase I Option  Property.  Such deposit shall be made to the Escrow,  or, if
required by the lender of the  Construction  Financing,  to an  interest-bearing
account with such lender to be held as a non-refundable deposit hereunder, which
may secure,  in whole or in part, the obligations of Optionee under the buy-sell
agreement  referred  to in Section  3.9 as well as the  obligations  of Optionee
pursuant to this Option  Agreement.  The Second Option may be  exercised,  if at
all, by Optionee  only as to the  entirety of the Phase I Option  Property.  The
Second  Option  shall  expire  and be of no force or effect at 5:00 p.m.  on the
Second Option Term Expiration  Date,  unless by that time Optionee has delivered
to Optionor the notice referred to in this Section 3.3.

                  3.4. Effect of Exercise of Second Option. Upon exercise of the
Second Option,  the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an agreement to
purchase and sell the Phase I Option  Property on both the terms and  conditions
set  forth in this  Section  3 and the  terms  and  conditions  set forth in the
remainder  of this  Option  Agreement  (other  than  in  Sections  2 and 4,  the
provisions  of  which  shall  not be  applicable  to the  Second  Option  herein
granted).  The  exercise of the Second  Option  shall not,  however,  affect the
continuance in force of the Lease, the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement and the
Phase II Purchase Agreement.

                  3.5.  Amount  of Second Option  Purchase  Price.  In the event
Optionee  exercises the Second Option,  the Second Option Purchase Price for the
Phase I Option  Property  shall be the aggregate of: (i) one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the difference of (A) the Net  Stipulated  Value of the PG&E Property,
less (B) the portion of such Net  Stipulated  Value of the PG&E Property paid as
part  of the  purchase  price  paid by  Optionee  for the  Phase  II Land  (such
difference  of the amount  described in clause (A) less the amount  described in
clause (B) is  hereinafter  referred  to as the "Phase I Land  Cost");  (ii) one
hundred  ten percent  (110%) of all Phase I Project  Cost other than the Phase I
Land Cost,  incurred or to be incurred on or before the Closing Date (whether or
not then paid) and paid or to be ultimately paid by Optionor;  (iii) ten percent
(10%) of any cost which  would have been a Phase I Project  Cost but was paid by
Optionee; (iv) any amount by which the Second Option Purchase Price is increased
in  accordance  with the  provisions of  Section.3.6;  (v) all break-up fees and
other  fees,  costs and  charges  of all kinds and to the  extent  described  in
Section 1.3, which are incurred and ultimately paid or to be paid by Optionor in
connection with the  arrangements  for and termination of any agreements for the
provision  of funds 





for equity  capital,  Construction  Financing  and  Take-Out  Financing  for the
Project,  to the extent that such  agreements are terminated in connection  with
the  exercise  of the  Second  Option  by  Optionee  or in  connection  with the
termination  of the  Lease  (if the  Lease  is  terminated  in  connection  with
Optionee's purchase of the Phase I Option Property); provided, however, that the
aggregate  amount of such fees,  costs and charges  will not exceed the Break-Up
Fee Maximum Amount;  and (vi) the amount of the  Development  Management Fee for
the period  commencing  on January 1, 1998 and ending on the earlier to occur of
(A) the Substantial Completion of the improvements to be constructed pursuant to
the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement or (B) the Closing Date. In the event that
Optionor  elects to have the  closing of the  Escrow  occur more than sixty (60)
days  following  the Last Rent  Commencement  Date,  then the Agreed  Spread for
Take-Out Financing (as defined in the Leasehold Improvements Agreement) shall be
reduced to four hundred fifty (450) basis  points,  unless there is a default by
Optionee  under this Option  Agreement  or the Lease,  in which event the Agreed
Spread  for  Take-Out  Financing  shall  retroactively  be as  provided  in  the
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement,  and any resulting arrearage in Monthly Base
Rent shall immediately be paid by Optionee to Optionor.

                  3.6.  Agreement  of the Parties as to Second  Option  Purchase
Price. Following the Last Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter for a
period of fifteen (15) days,  Optionee  and Optionor  shall meet and endeavor to
agree upon the Second Option Purchase Price. If the parties reach agreement, the
Second  Option  Purchase  Price  shall be the amount to which the  parties  have
agreed. If the parties are not able to so agree, then the Second Option Purchase
Price shall be established through arbitration  conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 hereof,  and the Closing Date shall be postponed without
further  act of the  parties  until the tenth  (10th)  day  following  the final
issuance of an award by the  arbitrators.  In the event that the Closing Date is
so postponed,  the Second Option  Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount
equal to the amount of interest  which would have accrued on that portion of the
Second Option Purchase Price which (i) is net of any payment Optionor would have
to pay PG&E upon its purchase of the Phase I Option  Property under the terms of
the Asset Sale  Agreement,  and (ii) was not the subject of a good faith dispute
between  Optionor  and  Optionee,  at a rate  equal to the  "prime",  "index" or
"reference"  rate of Bank of America  NT&SA plus one hundred (100) basis points,
during the period from the date upon which the Closing Date would have  occurred
but for the postponement under this Section 3.6.

                  3.7.  Payment  of Second  Option  Purchase  Price.  The Second
Option  Purchase  Price  shall  be  paid  by  Optionee  to  Optionor  in cash or
immediately available funds at the closing of the Escrow.

                  3.8.  Construction of Improvements. In the event that Optionee
duly  exercises  the Second  Option,  the Lease and the  Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement shall continue in effect until the closing of the Escrow, and Optionor
shall  cause  the  Site  and  Shell  Improvements  and the  Tenant  Improvements
described  in  the  Leasehold   Improvements  Agreement  to  be  constructed  in
accordance with the terms of the Leasehold Improvements Agreement.

                  3.9.  Execution of Buy-Sell  Agreement  Following  Exercise of
Second Option.  Promptly after the receipt by Optionee of a written request from
Optionor, Optionee shall review and negotiate in good faith a buy-sell agreement
with the  lender  of the  Construction  Financing,  whereby  Optionee  agrees to
purchase the loan  representing the Construction  Financing from the lender upon
the  completion  of the  construction  of the  improvements  which  Optionor  is
required to construct  under the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement for a price
equal to the aggregate of the outstanding  principal balance and all accrued and
unpaid interest  charges,  fees and penalties due under such loan. Such buy-sell
agreement  shall be in such form as may reasonably be acceptable to Optionee and
such lender of the Construction Financing, provided that such buy-sell agreement
shall not obligate such lender to complete such construction.




                  3.10.  Closing  of the  Escrow  Following  Exercise  of Second
Option.  Following an effective  exercise by Optionee of the Second Option,  the
closing of the Escrow  shall  occur on a date  selected  by  Optionor by written
notice  to  Optionee  given at least  ninety  (90)  days  before  the Last  Rent
Commencement  Date,  which  date shall be not less than sixty (60) days nor more
than eighteen (18) months following the Last Rent Commencement  Date, unless the
Closing Date is postponed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.10
or  Sections  3.6 or 19..D.  In the event  that  Optionee  desires  to delay the
Closing Date from the date  specified by Optionor,  Optionee may,  within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of the notice from Optionor,  give to Optionor  written
notice of another date which is not more than sixty (60) days following the date
selected by Optionor,  and the Closing Date shall  thereupon be postponed to the
date specified in the notice from Optionee to Optionor, unless Optionor notifies
Optionee that the term of the  Construction  Financing would expire prior to the
date  selected by  Optionee,  in which event the Closing Date shall be the fifth
(5th) day  preceding  the date upon which the  Construction  Financing  would so
expire.

                 3.11.  Condition of Second Option Title.

                         A. In the event  Optionee  exercises the Second Option,
Optionor  shall  convey  title to the Phase I Land  subject  only to:  (i) those
matters  listed as  exception  nos. 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 of the  Exceptions
from  Coverage  set forth in Schedule  B--Section 2 of the Pro Forma Policy (but
only to the extent  that the same affect all or any portion of the Phase I Land)
and any matter which is or would be disclosed by an accurate survey of the Phase
I Land; (ii) any matters  arising from the acts or omissions of Optionee;  (iii)
any lien, encumbrance or other matter consented to in writing by Optionee;  (iv)
the lien of current, non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments; (v) the
Lease;  (vi) and the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement;  (vii) the  Development
Agreement; (viii) the Parking Easement Agreement; (ix) the Access Agreement; (x)
the easements  reserved in the PG&E Deed to be recorded on or before the Closing
Date;  (xi)  the  covenants  and  restrictions  set  forth  in the  Encroachment
Agreement to be recorded on or before the Closing  Date;  (xii) the terms of the
Environmental  Agreement  to be  recorded on or before the  Closing  Date;  and,
(xiii) the Declaration.  Such matters are hereinafter referred to as the "Second
Option Permitted Exceptions".  In the event that Optionor requests that Optionee
consent to the  creation of any lien,  encumbrance,  reservation  or  dedication
affecting the title to the Phase I Land,  Optionee shall not unreasonably  delay
or  withhold  its  consent,  and shall only  withhold  its  consent if the lien,
encumbrance,  reservation or dedication: (i) would interfere with the use of the
Phase I Land for the purposes set forth in the Lease;  or, (ii) if pertaining to
a lien  securing  the payment of money will not be paid and removed on or before
close of Escrow,  and such payment would not  constitute  or have  constituted a
part of Aggregate Development Cost.

                         B. In the event  that  Optionor  is  unable to  deliver
title to the Phase I Land to Optionee in the  condition  required by this Option
Agreement,  Optionor  shall so notify  Optionee  in writing and  Optionee  shall
notify  Optionor,  within five (5)  business  days of the receipt by Optionee of
such  notice  from  Optionor,  whether  or not  Optionee  objects  to the  lien,
encumbrance,  defect or other matter which is not consistent with the provisions
of this Option  Agreement  regarding the condition of title to the Phase I Land.
If Optionee so objects by written  notice to Optionor  given within such period,
then Optionor  shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the receipt by
Optionor of such notice of objection  from Optionee in which to remove the lien,
encumbrance,  defect or other matter to which  Optionee has  objected.  Optionee
shall not object, however, unless the lien, encumbrance,  defect or other matter
would  interfere  with the use of the Phase I Land for the purposes set forth in
the Lease or pertains to a lien  securing the payment of money which will not be
paid and removed on or before  close of Escrow.  If Optionor is unable to remove
such lien, encumbrance,  defect or other matter within such period, Optionee may
(as its sole and exclusive  remedy,  unless the matter objected to was caused by
the bad faith acts or  





omissions of Optionor)  terminate this Option  Agreement (but not the Lease, the
Leasehold  Improvements Agreement or the Phase II Purchase Agreement) by written
notice to  Optionor  given  within ten (10) days of  expiration  of the ten (10)
business  day  period  during  which   Optionor  could  have  caused  the  lien,
encumbrance,  defect or other matter to be removed from title. In the event that
Optionee does not so terminate this Option  Agreement,  the Lease, the Leasehold
Improvements Agreement and the Phase II Purchase Agreement,  then Optionee shall
conclusively  be deemed to have waived its  objection to the lien,  encumbrance,
defect  or  other  matter,  which  shall  then  become  a part of the  Permitted
Exceptions.

                  3.12.  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES  FOR BREACH BY  OPTIONEE  FOLLOWING
EXERCISE OF SECOND OPTION.  OPTIONOR AND OPTIONEE  HEREBY AGREE THAT THE DAMAGES
WHICH  WOULD BE  SUFFERED  BY  OPTIONOR  IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT  BY  OPTIONEE
HEREUNDER IN PURCHASING  THE PHASE I LAND  FOLLOWING ANY EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF
THE SECOND OPTION WOULD BE EXTREMELY  DIFFICULT AND  IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN,
AND THAT THE SUM OF TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND  DOLLARS  ($2,700,000.00)
REPRESENTS THE  REASONABLE  ESTIMATE BY THE PARTIES OF THE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGES
THAT  OPTIONOR  WOULD  SUFFER BY  REASON OF  OPTIONEE'S  DEFAULT.  OPTIONEE  AND
OPTIONOR UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE VALUE OF PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY
REASON OF  GENERAL  ECONOMIC  CONDITIONS,  THE LOCAL  REAL  ESTATE  MARKET,  THE
AVAILABILITY  OF MORTGAGE  FINANCING,  AND OTHER  FACTORS  BEYOND THE CONTROL OF
OPTIONOR AND OPTIONEE,  AND THAT THE SUM OF TWO MILLION  SEVEN HUNDRED  THOUSAND
DOLLARS  ($2,700,000.00)  IS A  REASONABLE  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGE  AMOUNT UNDER THE
EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES.  ACCORDINGLY, IN THE EVENT ESCROW DOES NOT CLOSE BECAUSE
OF A DEFAULT BY OPTIONEE  HEREUNDER  FOLLOWING  THE  EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF THE
SECOND OPTION, OPTIONOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE SUM OF TWO MILLION SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS  ($2,700,000.00)  AS LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES,  AND NOT AS A
PENALTY OR FORFEITURE,  AS OPTIONOR'S  SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE  REMEDY FOR OPTIONEE'S
DEFAULT  AT LAW OR IN  EQUITY,  AND UPON  RECEIPT  OF SUCH  AMOUNT BY  OPTIONOR,
OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR SHALL BE RELIEVED OF ANY FURTHER  OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITY
HEREUNDER. OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR INTEND AND AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION
3.12 COMPLY WITH THE  REQUIREMENTS  OF  CALIFORNIA  CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671 AND
1677.  OPTIONEE AND OPTIONOR SHALL SIGN BELOW THIS SECTION 3.12 INDICATING THEIR
AGREEMENT TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGE CLAUSE HEREIN CONTAINED.

                                    OPTIONOR:

                                    Village Builders, L.P.,
                                    a California limited partnership

                                    By   VPI, Inc., a California corporation, 
                                         its General Partner

                                         By
                                           -------------------------------------
                                              
                                           Its
                                              ----------------------------------



                                    OPTIONEE:




                                    Fair, Isaac and Company, Inc.,
                                    a Delaware corporation


                                    By
                                       -----------------------------------------
                                              
                                           Its
                                              ----------------------------------


                  3.13.  Right to Redesignate  Designated  Treasury Date. In the
event of a  default  by  Optionee  hereunder  in  purchasing  the Phase I Option
Property  following any exercise by Optionee of the Second Option,  Optionor may
elect to  redesignate  the Designated  Treasury Date in accordance  with Section
19.2.(C) of the Leasehold Improvements Agreement.


                  4. THIRD OPTION.

                  4.1. Grant of Third Option. Optionor hereby grants to Optionee
an option and right (the "Third Option") to purchase the Phase I Option Property
at the price and on both the terms and  conditions  set forth in this  Section 4
and the terms and conditions set forth in the remainder of this Option Agreement
(other than in Sections 2 and 3, the provisions of which shall not be applicable
to the Third Option herein  granted).  Subject to the  provisions of Section 21,
Optionor shall,  however, be obligated to construct the improvements required to
be  constructed  by Optionor  pursuant to the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement
prior to the closing of the Escrow,  as more fully provided in  Section4.8,  and
such  improvements  shall be deemed to be a part of the Phase I Option  Property
upon the completion of such construction.

                  4.2.  Term of Third  Option.  The  Third  Option  and the term
thereof shall commence on the date hereof,  and shall terminate on the date (the
"Third Option Term Expiration  Date") which is the sixtieth (60th) day following
the Last Rent  Commencement  Date. The foregoing  notwithstanding,  in the event
that the term of the  Construction  Financing  would  expire  (or is  reasonably
anticipated to expire) prior to the sixtieth  (60th) day following the Last Rent
Commencement  Date,  then Optionor shall have the right to give a written notice
to  Optionee  stating  such fact and further  stating  that  Optionor  elects to
advance the Third Option Term Expiration Date to a particular date which both is
not less than sixty (60) days  following  the receipt of such notice by Optionee
and is  reasonably  anticipated  by  Optionor  to be not less than ten (10) days
following the Last Rent Commencement  Date, and the Third Option Term Expiration
Date shall thereupon  become the later of: (i) the date specified by Optionor in
such written  notice to Optionee;  or, (ii) the tenth (10th) day  following  the
Last  Rent  Commencement  Date.  Optionee  shall  have  the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to  exercise  the Third  Option at or before 5:00 p.m. on the Third
Option Term Expiration Date.

                  4.3. Method of Exercise of Third Option.  In order to exercise
the Third  Option,  Optionee  shall,  before 5:00 p.m. on the Third  Option Term
Expiration Date,  deliver to Optionor an unconditional  and irrevocable  written
notice of such exercise. Within five (5) days after that exercise,  Optionor and
Optionee shall execute standard form escrow  instructions  which are provided by
the Title Company and which are in all respect consistent with the terms of this
Option Agreement,  at which time Optionee shall then deposit with Escrow the sum
of Three Million  Three  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($3,300,000.00)  in cash or
immediately available funds as a non-refundable deposit against the Third Option
Purchase  Price,  which deposit shall be applicable to the Third Option Purchase
Price for the Phase I Option  Property.  The Third Option shall expire and be of
no force or effect at 5:00 p.m. on the Third Option Term Expiration Date, unless
by that time Optionee has  delivered to Optionor the notice  referred to in this
Section 4.3. 




The  Third  Option  may be  exercised,  if at all,  by  Optionee  only as to the
entirety of the Phase I Option Property.

                  4.4 Effect of Exercise of Third  Option.  Upon exercise of the
Third  Option,  the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an agreement to
purchase and sell the Phase I Option  Property on both the terms and  conditions
set  forth in this  Section  4 and the  terms  and  conditions  set forth in the
remainder  of this  Option  Agreement  (other  than  in  Sections  2 and 3,  the
provisions of which shall not be applicable to the Third Option herein granted).
The exercise of the Third Option shall not,  however,  affect the continuance in
force of the  Lease,  the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  and the  Phase II
Purchase Agreement.

                  4.5.  Amount  of Third  Option  Purchase  Price.  In the event
Optionee exercises the Third Option following the Substantial  Completion of the
Project,  the Third Option  Purchase Price for the Phase I Option Property shall
be the aggregate of: (i) one hundred thirteen percent (113%) of the Phase I Land
Cost; (ii) one hundred thirteen percent (113%) of all Phase I Project Cost other
than the Phase I Land Cost  incurred  or to be incurred on or before the Closing
Date (whether or not then paid) and paid or to be  ultimately  paid by Optionor;
(iii) thirteen percent (13%) of any cost which would have been a Phase I Project
Cost but was paid by  Optionee;  (iv) any  amount  by  which  the  Third  Option
Purchase  Price is increased in accordance  with the  provisions of  Section4.6;
and, (v) all break-up fees and other fees, costs and charges,  all as and to the
extent described in Section1.3,  which are incurred and ultimately paid or to be
paid by Optionor in connection  with the  termination  of any agreements for the
provision  of funds for equity  capital,  Construction  Financing  and  Take-Out
Financing for the Project,  to the extent that such agreements are terminated in
connection  with the exercise of the Third  Option by Optionee or in  connection
with the termination of the Lease (if the Lease is terminated in connection with
Optionee's purchase of the Phase I Option Property); provided, however, that the
aggregate  amount of such fees,  costs and charges  will not exceed the Break-Up
Fee Maximum Amount;  and (vi) the amount of the  Development  Management Fee for
the period  commencing  on January 1, 1998 and ending on the earlier to occur of
(A) the Substantial Completion of the improvements to be constructed pursuant to
the Leasehold Improvements Agreement or (B) the Closing Date.

                  4.6.  Agreement  of the  Parties as to Third  Option  Purchase
Price.  Promptly  following either the exercise by optionee of the Third Option,
and  continuing  thereafter  for a period of  fifteen  (15) days,  Optionee  and
Optionor shall meet and endeavor to agree upon the Third Option  Purchase Price.
If the parties reach  agreement,  the Third Option  Purchase  Price shall be the
amount to which the  parties  have  agreed.  If the  parties  are not able to so
agree,  then the  Third  Option  Purchase  Price  shall be  established  through
arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, and
the Closing Date shall be postponed without further act of the parties until the
tenth (10th) day following the final issuance of an award by the arbitrators. In
the event that the Closing Date is so postponed, the Third Option Purchase Price
shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of interest which would have
accrued on that portion of the Third Option  Purchase  Price which (i) is net of
any  payments  Optionor  would have to pay PG&E upon its purchase of the Phase I
Option  Property under the terms of the Asset Sale  Agreement,  and (ii) was not
the subject of a good faith dispute  between  Optionor and  Optionee,  at a rate
equal to the "prime",  "index" or "reference" rate of Bank of America NT&SA plus
one hundred (100) basis  points,  during the period from the date upon which the
Closing  Date would have  occurred but for the  postponement  under this Section
4.6.

                  4.7.  Payment of Third Option Purchase Price. The Third Option
Purchase  Price shall be paid by  Optionee  to  Optionor in cash or  immediately
available funds at the closing of the Escrow.

                  4.8. Construction of Improvements.  In the event that Optionee
duly  exercises  





the Third  Option,  the Lease and the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  shall
continue in effect until the closing of the Escrow, and Optionor shall cause the
Site  and  Shell  Improvements  and the  Tenant  Improvements  described  in the
Leasehold  Improvements Agreement to be constructed in accordance with the terms
of the Leasehold Improvements Agreement.

                  4.9. Closing of the Escrow Following Exercise of Third Option.
Following an effective  exercise by Optionee of the Third Option, the closing of
the Escrow  shall occur on a date  selected  by  Optionor  by written  notice to
Optionee given not more than thirty (30) days  following  such  exercise,  which
date  shall be not less than  sixty  (60) days nor more  than  twenty-four  (24)
months  following the Last Rent  Commencement  Date,  unless the Closing Date is
postponed in accordance  with the provisions of this Section 4.9 or Sections 4.6
or 19..D. In the event that Optionee  desires to delay the Closing Date from the
date specified by Optionor, Optionee may, within thirty (30) days of its receipt
of the notice from  Optionor,  give to Optionor  written  notice of another date
which is not more than sixty (60) days  following the date selected by Optionor,
and the Closing Date shall  thereupon be postponed to the date  specified in the
notice from Optionee to Optionor,  unless  Optionor  notifies  Optionee that the
term of the  Construction  Financing  would expire prior to the date selected by
Optionee, in which event the Closing Date shall be the fifth (5th) day preceding
the date upon which the Construction Financing would so expire.

                  4.10. Condition of Third Option Title

                         A. In the event  Optionee  exercises  the Third Option,
Optionor  shall  convey  title to the Phase I Land  subject  only to:  (i) those
matters  listed as  exception  nos. 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 of the  Exceptions
from  Coverage  set forth in Schedule  B--Section 2 of the Pro Forma Policy (but
only to the extent  that the same affect all or any portion of the Phase I Land)
and any matter which is or would be disclosed by an accurate survey of the Phase
I Land; (ii) any matters  arising from the acts or omissions of Optionee;  (iii)
any lien, encumbrance or other matter consented to in writing by Optionee;  (iv)
to the lien of current,  non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments; (v)
the Lease;  (vi) the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement;  (vii) the  Development
Agreement; (viii) Parking Easement Agreement; (ix) the Access Agreement; (x) the
easements  reserved  in the PG&E Deed to be  recorded  on or before the  Closing
Date;  (xi)  the  covenants  and  restrictions  set  forth  in the  Encroachment
Agreement to be recorded on or before the Closing  Date;  (xii) the terms of the
Environmental  Agreement  to be  recorded on or before the  Closing  Date;  and,
(xiii) the Declaration.  Such matters are hereinafter  referred to as the "Third
Option Permitted Exceptions".  In the event that Optionor requests that Optionee
consent to the  creation of any lien,  encumbrance,  reservation  or  dedication
affecting the title to the Phase I Land,  Optionee shall not unreasonably  delay
or  withhold  its  consent,  and shall only  withhold  its  consent if the lien,
encumbrance,  reservation or dedication: (i) would interfere with the use of the
Phase I Land for the purposes set forth in the Lease;  or, (ii) if pertaining to
a lien securing the payment of money,  will not be paid and removed on or before
close of Escrow and such payment would not constitute or have constituted a part
of Aggregate Development Cost.

                         B. In the event  that  Optionor  is  unable to  deliver
title to the Phase I Land to Optionee in the  condition  required by this Option
Agreement,  Optionor  shall so notify  Optionee  in writing and  Optionee  shall
notify  Optionor,  within five (5)  business  days of the receipt by Optionee of
such  notice  from  Optionor,  whether  or not  Optionee  objects  to the  lien,
encumbrance,  defect or other matter which is not consistent with the provisions
of this Option  Agreement  regarding the condition of title to the Phase I Land.
If Optionee so objects by written  notice to Optionor  given within such period,
then Optionor  shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the receipt by
Optionor of such notice of objection  from Optionee in which to remove the lien,
encumbrance,  defect or other matter to which  Optionee has  objected.  Optionee
shall not object, however, unless the lien, encumbrance,  defect or other matter
would  interfere  with the use of the Phase I Land for the purposes set forth in
the Lease or pertains to a lien  securing the payment 






of money  which will not be paid and  removed on or before  close of Escrow.  If
Optionor  is unable to remove  such lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other  matter
within such period,  Optionee may (as its sole and exclusive remedy,  unless the
matter  objected to was caused or created by the bad faith acts or  omissions of
Optionor)  terminate  this Option  Agreement  (but not the Lease,  the Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement or the Phase II Purchase Agreement) by written notice to
Optionor  given within ten (10) days of  expiration of the ten (10) business day
period during which Optionor could have caused the lien, encumbrance,  defect or
other matter to be removed from title.  In the event that  Optionee  does not so
terminate this Option Agreement, the Lease, the Leasehold Improvements Agreement
and the Phase II Purchase Agreement,  then Optionee shall conclusively be deemed
to have waived its objection to the lien,  encumbrance,  defect or other matter,
which shall then become a part of the Permitted Exceptions.




                  4.11.  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES  FOR BREACH BY  OPTIONEE  FOLLOWING
EXERCISE OF THIRD  OPTION.  OPTIONOR AND OPTIONEE  HEREBY AGREE THAT THE DAMAGES
WHICH  WOULD BE  SUFFERED  BY  OPTIONOR  IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT  BY  OPTIONEE
HEREUNDER IN PURCHASING  THE PHASE I LAND  FOLLOWING ANY EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF
THE THIRD OPTION WOULD BE EXTREMELY  DIFFICULT AND  IMPRACTICABLE  TO ASCERTAIN,
AND THAT THE SUM OF THREE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,300,000.00)
REPRESENTS THE  REASONABLE  ESTIMATE BY THE PARTIES OF THE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGES
THAT  OPTIONOR  WOULD  SUFFER BY  REASON OF  OPTIONEE'S  DEFAULT.  OPTIONEE  AND
OPTIONOR UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE VALUE OF PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY
REASON OF  GENERAL  ECONOMIC  CONDITIONS,  THE LOCAL  REAL  ESTATE  MARKET,  THE
AVAILABILITY  OF MORTGAGE  FINANCING,  AND OTHER  FACTORS  BEYOND THE CONTROL OF
OPTIONOR AND OPTIONEE,  AND THAT THE SUM OF THREE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS  ($3,300,000.00)  IS A  REASONABLE  LIQUIDATED  DAMAGE  AMOUNT UNDER THE
EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES.  ACCORDINGLY, IN THE EVENT ESCROW DOES NOT CLOSE BECAUSE
OF A DEFAULT BY OPTIONEE  HEREUNDER  FOLLOWING  THE  EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE OF THE
THIRD  OPTION,  OPTIONOR  SHALL BE ENTITLED  TO RETAIN THE SUM OF THREE  MILLION

         7.       ADJUSTMENT TO REFLECT FINAL PHASE I PROJECT COST

                  7.1.  Determination  of Revised Final Phase I Project Cost. In
the event that  either the closing of Escrow  occurs  pursuant to an exercise of
the First  Option by Optionee  or the closing of the Escrow  occurs in less than
eighteen  (18) months  pursuant  to an  exercise  of the Second  Option or Third
Option by  Optionee,  and in the event that any items of  Aggregate  Development
Cost or Phase I Project  Cost could not have been  reasonably  ascertained  with
precision at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date,  Optionor may notify
Optionee in writing of a revised  final  Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I
Project Cost within the following  time periods:  (i) if Optionee  exercises the
First Option,  within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date; or (ii)
if Optionee exercises the Second Option or the Third Option, within one (1) year
of the Closing  Date.  Such written  notice shall be  accompanied  by a detailed
statement of such revised  Aggregate  Development  Cost or final Phase I Project
Cost.

                  7.2.  Possible Review of Revised Final  Aggregate  Development
Cost of Phase I Project Cost by Optionee. Within twenty (20) days of the receipt
by Optionee of the notice from 



                                       


Optionor given in accordance  with Section 7.1 and setting forth a revised final
Aggregate Development Cost or Phase I Project Cost, Optionee may notify Optionor
in writing (a "Difference  Review  Notice") that Optionee  desires to review the
records of Optionor  pertaining  to those items (the  "Difference  Items") which
account for the difference between the revised final Aggregate  Development Cost
or Phase I Project Cost and the  Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I Project
Cost upon which the  Purchase  Price was  determined.  If Optionee  gives such a
notice to Optionor within such period,  Optionor shall permit Optionee to review
all of the records of Optionor  relevant to the determination of such Difference
Items.  Such review shall be performed at the offices of Optionor during regular
business  hours,  and  Optionor  shall permit  Optionee to make  copies,  at its
expense, of such portions of such records as Optionee may elect.  Optionee shall
undertake  and  complete  such review  within  sixty (60) days of the receipt by
Optionor of the Difference Review Notice.  In the event that Optionee  concludes
that the  determination  by Optionor of the  Difference  Items is incorrect,  it
shall so notify  Optionor within seventy (70) days of the receipt by Optionor of
the Difference  Review Notice from Optionee,  which notice from Optionee  shall:
(i) state with  particularity the Difference Items as to which Optionee believes
that the  determination of Optionor was incorrect;  and, (ii) state the election
of Optionee  to have the revised  final  Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I
Project Cost determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 6.

                  7.3. Payment to Adjust  Aggregate  Development Cost or Phase I
Project Cost. The revised final  Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I Project
Cost  stated by  Optionor in its notice to  Optionee  given in  accordance  with
Section  7.2 shall be deemed to have been  accepted  and  approved  by  Optionee
unless:  (i)  Optionor and  Optionee  agree in writing to a different  Aggregate
Development Cost or Phase I Project Cost within seventy (70) days of the receipt
by Optionor of the  Difference  Review Notice from  Optionee;  or, (ii) Optionee
gives to Optionor  within such seventy (70) day period a notice electing to have
the revised final Aggregate  Development Cost or Phase I Project Cost determined
by arbitration in accordance with Section 6. Within thirty (30) days of the date
upon which the revised final Aggregate  Development Cost or Phase I Project Cost
is  established  (whether by  Optionor's  statement of revised  final  Aggregate
Development  Cost or Phase I Project Cost being deemed  accepted and approved by
Optionee in accordance with this Section 7.3 or by a written  agreement  between
Optionor  and  Optionee   establishing  a  different   revised  final  Aggregate
Development Cost or Phase I Project Cost or by an arbitration  resulting from an
election by Optionee made within seventy (70) days of the receipt by Optionor of
the  Difference  Review  Notice  from  Optionee):  _.(i)  if the  revised  final
Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I Project Cost is less than the  Aggregate
Development  Cost or Phase I Project  Cost upon  which  the  Purchase  Price was
determined, Optionor shall pay to Optionee a sum equal to the difference between
the Aggregate  Development  Cost or Phase I Project Cost upon which the Purchase
Price was determined and the revised final Aggregate Development Cost or Phase I
Project Cost; or, (ii) if the revised final Aggregate  Development Cost or Phase
I Project Cost is greater than the Aggregate Development Cost or Phase I Project
Cost  upon  which  the  Purchase  Price was  determined,  Optionee  shall pay to
Optionor a sum equal to the  difference  between  the  revised  final  Aggregate
Development  Cost or Phase I Project Cost and the Aggregate  Development Cost or
Phase I Project Cost upon which the Purchase Price was determined.


         8.       TITLE AND DEED.

                  8.1.  Condition  of  Title to  Phase I Land.  Optionee  hereby
accepts the Permitted Exceptions and agrees to accept title to the PG&E Property
or the Phase I Land,  as the case may be,  subject to the  applicable  Permitted
Exceptions. Except as set forth in this Option Agreement, Optionor shall make no
representations or warranties with respect to the condition of title to the PG&E
Property or the Phase I Land,  and  Optionee  agrees that it will rely solely on
its  policy  of title  insurance  issued by the Title  Company  pursuant  to the
provisions of Section 8.3 below.

                                 



                  8.2.  Grant Deed.  Optionor  shall convey the PG&E Property or
the Phase I Land,  as the case may be, to  Optionee on the  standard  form grant
deed  customarily used by the Title Company (the "Grant Deed") as of the closing
of the  Escrow,  but the  warranties  set forth or implied in such deed shall be
expressly  limited by, and shall in the deed be  expressly  made subject to, the
applicable Permitted Exceptions.

                  8.3. Title Insurance.  Optionor shall cause the Title Company,
as of the  closing of the Escrow,  to issue to  Optionee an American  Land Title
Association  Owners  Policy  (10-17-92)  (or such form of policy as is then most
closely equivalent), insuring that fee title to the PG&E Property or the Phase I
Land,  as the case may be,  is  vested in  Optionee,  in an amount  equal to the
applicable Purchase Price, subject only to the applicable Permitted  Exceptions.
Optionee  may  also  obtain  the  following  endorsements:  Subdivision  Map Act
compliance (CLTA form 116.7); survey, with reference to the Site Plan (CLTA form
116.1);  and such other  endorsements  as Optionee may  reasonably  require.  If
requested by Optionee,  Optionor  shall  cooperate  with  Optionee at no cost or
liability to Optionor in obtaining  such  facultative  reinsurance  arrangement,
with  rights  of  direct   access,   as  may  be  reasonably   required  in  the
circumstances,   together  with  the  endorsements  described  above;  provided,
however,  that Optionor  shall not be required to incur any expense or liability
or potential liability in connection with any such cooperation.

                  8.4. Use  Restriction.  The PG&E Property or the Phase I Land,
as the case may be,  shall be used only for office,  research  and  development,
restaurant  and other  commercial  uses and  shall  not be used for  residential
purposes  or for  any  purpose  prohibited  by the  Declaration.  The  foregoing
notwithstanding,  for a period  of ten (10)  years  from the  Closing  Date (the
"Retail  Limitation  Period"),  no portion of the PG&E  Property  or the Phase I
Land,  as the case may be,  shall be used  for a retail  use in  excess  of that
contemplated in the Development  Plan attached (or to have been attached) to the
Declaration  as  Exhibit  H. For the  purposes  of this  Section  8.4,  the term
"retail"   use   shall  be  based   upon  any   definitions,   descriptions   or
characterizations  that may be set forth in the Zoning  Ordinance of the City of
San  Rafael,  except  that a  "retail"  use would in all events  include  retail
banking and like uses.  Upon the  expiration  of the Retail  Limitation  Period,
there shall not be any  prohibition on the use of all or any portion of the PG&E
Property  or the Phase I Land,  as the case may be,  for  retail  purposes.  The
foregoing  notwithstanding,  nothing  in this  Section  8.4  shall be  deemed to
prohibit the direct sale of goods and  services to end users by Fair,  Isaac and
Company,  Inc. or any corporate  successor by merger to Fair, Isaac and Company,
Inc., to the extent that such sales do not involve customer purchases in person,
or be deemed to prohibit the operation of cafeteria or dining facilities for the
use of Optionee's  employees  and business  guests.  Upon the  expiration of the
Retail  Limitation  Period,  Optionor shall execute,  acknowledge and deliver to
Optionee (or to such other person or entity as Optionee may request) a quitclaim
deed  (and/or  such other  documents as may be  reasonably  required)  expressly
terminating  the  use  restrictions  described  in  this  Section  8.4  and  the
memorandum  of  agreement   described  in  Section  23.2   (including,   without
limitation,  Optionor's  right to enforce the use  restrictions  as set forth in
that memorandum of agreement).

        9.       CLOSING OF THE ESCROW.

                  9.1.  Retention  of  Title  Company.  In  the  event  Optionee
exercises one of the Options,  Optionee and Optionor shall each promptly  retain
the Title  Company to perform  escrow  services  at its  offices  located in San
Rafael, California, in connection with the transactions to be completed pursuant
to, and in accordance with the provisions of, this Option Agreement.

                  9.2.  Closing Date. In the event Optionee  exercises the First
Option,  the closing of the Escrow for the sale and  purchase of the PG&E Option
Property shall occur on the date  determined in accordance  with Section 2.8. In
the event Optionee  exercises the Second  Option,  the 



                                       


closing of the Escrow for the sale and  purchase of the Phase I Option  Property
shall occur on the date determined in accordance with Section 3.10. In the event
Optionee  exercises the Third Option, the closing of the Escrow for the sale and
purchase of the Phase I Option  Property  shall occur on the date  determined in
accordance  with  Section  4.9.  The date so  determined  is referred to in this
Option Agreement as the "Closing Date".

                  9.3.  Termination  of the  Lease  and  Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  the  Lease  and  the  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement,  neither of those  documents  shall be terminated at or
prior to the closing of the Escrow, and Optionee shall execute,  and shall cause
any  assignee  or  sublessee  of the  interest  of  Optionee  under the Lease to
execute,  an agreement  releasing  Optionor from all obligations under the Lease
and Leasehold Improvements Agreement as of the closing of the Escrow, except for
obligations  (i) which are to be  performed by Optionor as Landlord on or before
the  Closing  Date,  or (ii) as to which an event of  default by  Optionor  then
exists under either of the Lease or the Leasehold Improvements Agreement.

                  9.4.  Escrow  Instruction.  Prior to the closing of the Escrow
and as  provided in Sections  2.3,  3.3 and 4.3,  Optionee  and  Optionor  shall

                  9.7.  Compliance with  Subdivision Map Act. In addition to the
conditions  set forth in Sections  9.5 and 9.6,  it shall be a condition  to the
Closing for the benefit of both Optionor 



                                       


and  Optionee  that the  conveyance  of the PG&E Option  Property or the Phase I
Option Property, as the case may be, shall comply fully with the requirements of
the California  Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66410 et
seq.) (the "Map  Act"),  or shall be exempt  therefrom.  Optionor  and  Optionee
hereby agree that they shall  cooperate  reasonably  with one another in causing
the conveyance of the PG&E Option  Property or the Phase I Option  Property,  as
the case may be, to comply with the  requirements of the Map Act or to be exempt
therefrom.  If reasonably  necessary to cause the  conveyance of the PG&E Option
Property  or the Phase I Option  Property,  as the case may be, to comply  fully
with the Map Act or to be exempt  therefrom,  Optionor  shall  use  commercially
reasonable efforts to assign to Buyer all of the right, title and interest which
Optionor then has under the existing  agreements  between  Optionor and PG&E for
the acquisition of the PG&E Option Property or the Phase I Option  Property,  as
the case may be, by Optionor, in a good faith effort to prevent any delay in the
Closing Date.

                  The expenses of the Escrow and conveyance shall be paid in the
following manner:

                  11.1. Title Insurance.  The full cost of securing all policies
and endorsements of title insurance, including the policy referred to in Section
8.3 above, shall be paid by Optionee.

                  11.2. Deed Preparation.  The cost of preparing,  executing and
acknowledging the Grant Deed shall be paid by Optionor.

                  11.3.  Prepayment Charges and Costs. All prepayment penalties,
yield maintenance payments,  reconveyance fees and other payments required to be

encumbering the PG&E Property or the Phase I Land, as the case may be, as of the
Closing Date shall be paid by Optionee.

                  11.4.  Recording  Costs.  The cost of recording the Grant Deed
shall be paid by Optionee.

                  11.5.  Escrow  Fees.  Any  escrow  fees  charged  by the Title
Company  for  escrow  services,  if any,  in excess of the cost of any policy of

connection with the sale or conveyance of the PG&E Property or the Phase I Land,
as the case may be, shall be paid by Optionor.


         12.      PRORATIONS.  The  following  prorations  shall be made between
Optionor and Optionee on a basis of a thirty (30) day month (except as set forth
below) as of the closing of the Escrow:

                  12.1. Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property Taxes.  Current,
non-delinquent  general or  special  real  property  taxes and  assessments  and
personal  property  taxes (on the basis of the fiscal year for such taxes) shall
be apportioned  through Escrow (on the basis of a 365-day year) as of 12:01 a.m.
on the Closing  Date. In making such  apportionment,  the fact of whether or not
any  reimbursements  for such taxes have been paid prior to the Closing  Date by
Optionee under the Lease shall be taken into account.  If the Closing Date shall
occur before the real  property tax rate is fixed,  the  apportionment  of taxes
shall be made on the basis of the tax rate for the preceding fiscal year applied
to the latest  assessed  valuation.  After the real  property  taxes are finally
fixed,  Optionor and Optionee shall make a recalculation  of such  apportionment
and Optionor or Optionee as the case may be shall make an appropriate payment to
the other based on such recalculation.  Any supplemental assessment imposed with
respect to the PG&E Option Property or the Phase I Option Property,  as the case
may be,  shall be taken into account only with respect to the period as to which
such supplemental assessment is levied.

                  12.2.  Rentals.  All rentals  accruing or paid under the Lease
that relate to the period which  includes the Closing Date shall be  apportioned
through Escrow as of the Closing Date.

                  12.3. Utilities. Charges for utilities shall be apportioned by
Optionee and Optionor  outside of Escrow within four (4) weeks after the Closing
Date.

                                       


                  12.4. Other Management Expenses. Any other amounts that relate
to the  operation,  management,  and leasing of the PG&E Property or the Phase I
Land,  as the case may be, that apply to a period  including  the  Closing  Date
shall be  apportioned  through  Escrow as of the Closing Date, to the extent not
reimbursed by Optionee as a part of "Expenses" pursuant to the Lease.


         13.      POSSESSION.  Optionor shall  surrender and deliver to Optionee
any and all claims of rights to  possession  of the PG&E Option  Property or the
Phase I Option Property, as the case may be, as of the closing of the Escrow.


         14.      CONDITION OF PROPERTY.

                  14.1.   Representations   by  Optionor.   Optionor  shall  use
commercially  reasonable efforts to enforce the  representations  and warranties
made by PG&E in the Asset Sale  Agreement  for the  benefit of  Optionee  to the
extent that  Optionee is not  entitled to enforce the same for its own  account.
Optionor  represents  and  warrants  to  Optionee  that  Optionor  has no actual
knowledge (without any independent investigation), as of the date of this Option
Agreement,  of any  breach  of such  representations  and  warranties  by  PG&E.
Optionor agrees that Optionee would not purchase the PG&E Option Property or the
Phase I Option  Property,  as the case may be,  without such  representation  or
warranty of Optionor or the representations and warranties of Optionor set forth
in other  Sections of this  Agreement,  which are material and on which Optionee
shall rely. Except as set forth in the preceding  sentences of this Section 14.1
and in Section 17, Optionee hereby  represents,  warrants and agrees that it has
not relied and will not rely upon any  representation,  warranty,  agreement  or
understanding,  express or implied,  made or given by Optionor or by its agents,
employees or  representatives  in determining  whether to enter into this Option
Agreement  or to purchase  the PG&E  Property or the Phase I Land or any portion
thereof  and that it has relied and will rely solely upon the results of its own
inquiries and  investigations or on information  received from independent third
parties whom Optionee independently identifies and whom Optionee deems reliable.

                  14.2.  Property Sold "AS IS". Except as otherwise  provided in
Sections 14.1 and 17, and except for Optionor's  covenants and obligations under
this Option  Agreement (and, to the extent required to be performed prior to the
Closing  Date,  the  obligations  of Optionee  under the Lease and the Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement,  excluding any obligation to correct latent defects the
repair  of  which  was  not  commenced   before  the  Closing  Date),   Optionee
acknowledges  and agrees that it is purchasing  the PG&E Property or the Phase I
Land, as the case may be, "AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS",  that Optionor  shall not be
required to make any repairs or improvements thereon or for the benefit thereof,
and that  Optionor  shall have no  liability  to  Optionee  with  respect to the
condition  of the PG&E  Property or the Phase I Land,  as the case may be, or to
the condition,  design or adequacy of any  improvements  located  thereon or the
condition, design or adequacy of any improvements serving or protecting the PG&E
Property or the Phase I Land, as the case may be, although not located  thereon,
whether such liability arises from the negligence of Optionor or otherwise. Each
of  Optionor  and  Optionee  shall  affirm to the other,  by the  execution  and
delivery  of a  certificate  in the  form  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  F, its
warranties,  representations,   agreements  and  acknowledgments  set  forth  in
Sections 14.1, 17, 18, 22.3 and 22.4 at and as of the closing of the Escrow. Any
costs to repair latent  defects  incurred after the Closing Date shall be a part
of Phase I Project Cost.


         15.      SPECIFIC  PERFORMANCE.  In the event  that  Optionor  fails to
perform its  obligations  to sell the PG&E  Property or the Phase I Land, as the
case may be, following an effective exercise of one of the Options,  the parties
acknowledge that specific  performance  would 



be an appropriate remedy and that the right to specific performance has not been
waived or otherwise relinquished by Optionee.


         16.      PERFORMANCE  UNDER  OTHER  AGREEMENTS.  The rights of Optionee
under this Option  Agreement are granted in  consideration of the obligations of
Optionee under the Lease, the Leasehold Improvements Agreement, and the Phase II
Purchase Agreement,  and the obligations of Optionor under this Option Agreement
are  expressly  conditioned  upon the  performance  by  Optionee  of each of the
obligations  of Optionee which are to be performed on or before the Closing Date
under the Lease  (save and except for  obligations  which  would  ordinarily  be
regarded  by a landlord  of  similar  premises  as  immaterial),  the  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement and the Phase II Purchase Agreement (except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.4) within the times for such performance  provided in such
agreements  (including the  applicable  grace period,  if any,  provided in such
agreements  with  respect to any  particular  obligation).  The  performance  by
Optionee upon which the obligations of Optionor under this Option  Agreement are
conditioned include, without limitation, the full performance of the obligations
of Optionee under Section 41  ("Limitation  Upon Further  Negotiations")  of the
Lease,  but only to the extent  that such  obligations  under  Section 41 of the
Lease  were to have  been  performed  prior  to the  exercise  of an  Option  by
Optionee.


         17.      WARRANTIES AND  REPRESENTATIONS  OF OPTIONOR.  Optionor hereby
represents and warrants to Optionee the following matters as of the date hereof,
each of which shall also be true and  complete as of the Closing Date as if made
on the Closing Date; and each of the same shall be deemed independently material
and shall survive the closing of the Escrow:

                  17.1.  Capacity.  Optionor  is,  and as of the  closing of the
Escrow  will be, duly  authorized  and  empowered  to enter into and perform its
obligations  pursuant  to this Option  Agreement  and all other  agreements  and
documents described or contemplated hereby, and the execution and performance of
this Option  Agreement by Optionor does not and will not  constitute a breach of
any  agreement  which is binding upon  Optionor  and which  pertains to the PG&E
Property or the Phase I Land, as the case may be.

                  17.2.  Organization and  Qualification.  Optionor is a limited
partnership  duly  organized  and  existing  under  the  laws  of the  State  of
California.


         18.      WARRANTIES AND  REPRESENTATIONS  OF OPTIONEE.  Optionee hereby
represents and warrants to Optionor the following  matters as of the date hereof
and each of which shall also be true and  complete as of the Closing  Date as if
made on the  Closing  Date;  and each of the same shall be deemed  independently
material and shall survive the closing of the Escrow:

                  18.1.  Capacity.  Optionee  is,  and as of the  closing of the
Escrow  will be, duly  authorized  and  empowered  to enter into and perform its
obligations  pursuant  to this Option  Agreement  and all other  agreements  and
documents described or contemplated hereby, and the execution and performance of
this Option  Agreement by Optionee does not and will not  constitute a breach of
any agreement which is binding upon Optionee.

                  18.2.   Organization   and   Qualification.   Optionee   is  a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
and is duly qualified to do business in the State of California.




         19.      DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

                  A.  Optionee  shall use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to
cooperate with Optionor in obtaining the approval and execution of a Development
Agreement by the City.

                  B. In the event  that  Optionor  is unable  for any  reason to
obtain the approval and execution by the City of the Development Agreement on or
before May 1, 1998 and if Optionor is not then in material  breach of any of its
obligations under this Option Agreement,  the Lease, the Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement,  the Phase II Purchase  Agreement or the Asset Sale  Agreement,  then
Optionor  may  terminate  this  Option  Agreement,   the  Lease,  the  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement and the Phase II Purchase  Agreement  (but not less than
all of them) by written  notice to  Optionee  given at any time  between May 16,
1998 and June 1, 1998 and  before  the date upon  which  the City  executes  the
Development  Agreement.  Such termination  shall be effective upon and as of the
sixth (6th)  business day following the date upon which  Optionee  receives such
notice from Optionor,  unless Optionee  exercises the First Option prior to such
effective date of the  termination.  In the event that Optionee so exercises the
First Option,  then Optionee shall purchase the PG&E Option Property (subject to
the  provisions of Section 2.13) from  Optionor in its then  condition,  "as is,
with all faults",  and Optionor  shall have no further  obligation to obtain the
approval of the Development Agreement or any other approval from the City or any
other governmental agency.

                  C. In the event that  Optionor  has  obtained the approval and
execution of the Development Agreement on or before May 1, 1998, or in the event
that execution of the  Development  Agreement has not occurred on or before such
date  but  neither  Optionor  nor  Optionee  has  duly  executed  any  right  of
termination  of this Option  Agreement,  the Lease,  the Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement and the Phase II Purchase Agreement,  and prior to the Closing Date an
action is filed challenging the validity of any approvals for the Project issued
by the  City or any  other  governmental  agency  having  jurisdiction  over the
Project,  Optionor may request that Optionee  notify  Optionor,  within five (5)
days of the receipt by Optionee of such request from Optionor,  whether Optionee
will agree to pay all costs incurred by Optionor in connection  with the defense
of  such  action  and/or  in  connection  with  any  additional   processing  of
applications (including,  without limitation,  any further environmental review)
by the City or any  other  governmental  entity  required  as a  result  of such
action.  Optionee shall respond to the request of Optionor  within five (5) days
of the receipt by Optionee of such request.  In the event that Optionee fails to
respond to such request  within such period of five (5) days,  then Optionor may
give to Optionee a second request  stating the failure of Optionee to respond to
the first  request and further  stating that if Optionee does not respond to the
second  request  within  five (5) days of the receipt by Optionee of such second
request, Optionee will conclusively be deemed to have agreed to pay, in the same
manner as Phase II  Current  Costs,  all such costs of  defense  and  additional
processing.  In the event that Optionee  fails to respond to such request within
such  period  of five (5) days,  Optionee  will  conclusively  be deemed to have
agreed to pay all such costs of defense and additional  processing.  If Optionee
agrees (or is deemed to have agreed) to pay such costs, then the close of Escrow
shall be delayed until the fiftieth  (50th) day after the later to occur of: (i)
the issuance of a final, non-appealable judgment or order in such action (or the
expiration  of the  period  for the  appeal of any such  order or  judgment  has
expired  without  an appeal  having  been  filed)  denying  and  rejecting  such
challenge;  or, (ii) if such challenge is found in such action to be meritorious
and additional processing of applications  (including,  without limitation,  any
further  environmental  required  review) by the City or any other  governmental
entity is required,  all such additional processing has been completed,  and the
City has executed, or affirmed the validity of, the Development Agreement.




                  D. In the event that  Optionor  has  obtained the approval and
execution of the Development Agreement on or before May 1, 1998, or in the event
that execution of the  Development  Agreement has not occurred on or before such
date  but  neither  Optionor  nor  Optionee  has  duly  executed  any  right  of
termination  of this Option  Agreement,  the Lease,  the Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement and the Phase II Purchase Agreement,  and prior to the Closing Date an
action is filed challenging the validity of any approvals for the Project issued
by the  City or any  other  governmental  agency  having  jurisdiction  over the
Project,  and  Optionee  has not agreed (or is not deemed to have agreed) to pay
the costs described in Section 20.C, then Optionor may, in its sole  discretion,
give a written  notice to Optionee  delaying the closing of the Escrow until the
fiftieth  (50th) day after the later to occur of: (i) the  issuance  of a final,
non-appealable judgment or order in such action (or the expiration of the period
for the  appeal of any such  order or  judgment  has  expired  without an appeal
having  been filed)  denying  and  rejecting  such  challenge;  or, (ii) if such
challenge is found in such action to be meritorious and additional processing of
applications (including,  without limitation, any further environmental required
review)  by the City or any  other  governmental  entity is  required,  all such
additional processing has been completed, and the City has executed, or affirmed
the validity of, the Development Agreement.

                  E. In the event that  Optionor  has  obtained the approval and
execution of the Development Agreement on or before May 1, 1998, or in the event
that execution of the  Development  Agreement has not occurred on or before such
date  but  neither  Optionor  nor  Optionee  has  duly  executed  any  right  of
termination  of this Option  Agreement,  the Lease,  the Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement  and  the  Phase  II  Purchase  Agreement,  and  an  action  is  filed
challenging  the validity of any approvals for the Project issued by the City or
any  other  governmental  agency  having  jurisdiction  over the  Project,  then
Optionor  may  terminate  this  Option  Agreement,   the  Lease,  the  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement and the Phase II Purchase  Agreement  (but not less than
all of them) by written  notice to Optionee  given at any time after May 1, 1998
and before the later of the date upon a final,  non-appealable judgment or order
has been  entered  in such  action (or the period for the appeal of any order or
judgment has expired  without an appeal  having been filed) or the date the City
executes the Development Agreement. Such termination shall be effective upon and
as of the sixth  (6th)  business  day  following  the date upon  which  Optionee
receives such notice from Optionor,  unless Optionee  exercises the First Option
prior to such effective date of the  termination.  In the event that Optionee so
exercises the First Option,  then: (i) Optionee shall purchase the PG&E Property
(subject to the provisions of Section 2.13) from Optionor in its then condition,
"as is, with all faults";  (ii)  Optionor  shall have no further  obligation  to
obtain the approval of the Development  Agreement or any other approval from the
City or any other governmental  agency or to defend any pending or future action
in respect of any such approval;  (iii) Optionee may elect, by written notice to
Optionor  given at least  forty (40) days prior to the Closing  Date,  either to
require that Optionor obtain from PG&E, and convey to Optionee at the closing of
the Escrow,  title to the PG&E  Property or to require that  Optionor  assign to
Optionee at the closing of the escrow, in lieu of the conveyance of title to the
PG&E Property to Optionee, all right, title and interest which Optionor then has
under the existing  agreements  between Optionor and PG&E for the acquisition of
the PG&E  Property  by  Optionor.  In the  event  that  Optionee  elects to have
Optionor  assign to Optionee all right,  title and interest  which Optionor then
has under the existing  agreements between Optionor and PG&E for the acquisition
of the PG&E Property by Optionor,  Optionor shall attempt to obtain the approval
of PG&E to such an assignment.  In the event that Optionor has not obtained such
approval on or before the Closing Date,  then Optionor  shall, in lieu of making
such an assignment at the closing of the Escrow,  agree in writing with Optionee
that Optionor will use all commercially reasonable efforts, when requested to do
so by Optionee,  to acquire and convey to Optionee  title to the PG&E  Property;
provided,  however,  that the  costs of all such  effort  shall be paid in their
entirety by Optionee.

                  F. In the event that  Optionor,  at the  closing of the Escrow
and in lieu of making at the closing of the Escrow an  assignment  of all right,
title and interest which Optionor then has





under the existing  agreements  between Optionor and PG&E for the acquisition of
the PG&E  Property by  Optionor,  agrees in writing  with  Optionee  pursuant to
Section 19.E that Optionor will use all commercially  reasonable  efforts,  when
requested to do so by Optionee,  to acquire and convey to Optionee  title to the
PG&E  Property,  but  Optionee  has not given such a request to  Optionor  on or
before the  forty-fifth  (45th) day  preceding  the day upon which the rights of
Optionor to purchase the PG&E Property  pursuant to such agreement would expire,
then Optionor may, in its sole  discretion,  give to Optionee an written  notice
terminating  the  obligation of Optionor to acquire and convey to Optionee title
to the PG&E Property,  and Optionor may thereafter purchase the PG&E Property at
its own cost and for its own account,  without any obligation to convey the PG&E
Property to  Optionee  or to  reimburse  to  Optionee  any  expense  incurred by
Optionee.


        20.   ASSUMPTION AND INDEMNITY WITH RESPECT TO OBLIGATIONS OF OPTIONOR.

                 20.1.  Assignment and Assumption of Obligations.

                         A. Upon the  exercise by Optionee of the First  Option,
Optionor  shall  assign  to  Optionee,  and  Optionee  shall  assume  all of the
obligations of Optionor under, all agreements with service  providers,  mortgage
brokers (but not lenders) or others  pertaining to the design or construction of
improvements  pursuant to the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  (excluding any
such agreements which Optionee  specifically  requests not be so assigned),  but
only if and to the extent that the costs incurred or to be incurred  pursuant to
such agreements would be a part of Aggregate  Development  Cost.  Optionor shall
also be  entitled  to cease  its  efforts  at  proceeding  with the  design  and
construction  of the  Project.  In the event of any  default by  Optionee of its
obligation  to purchase  the PG&E Option  Property  following an exercise of the
First Option, Optionee shall, upon the written request of Optionor,  assign such
agreements  back to  Optionor  (excluding  any such  agreements  which  Optionor
specifically  requests  not be so  assigned  back) and shall pay all amounts due
pursuant to such  agreements  in respect of services  rendered or  consideration
provided after the  assignment to Optionee and prior to the  assignment  back to
Optionor.

                         B.  Following  the  exercise  by Optionee of the Second
Option,  Optionor  shall,  at and as of the  closing  of the  Escrow,  assign to
Optionee,  and  Optionee  shall then assume all of the  obligations  of Optionor
under,  all  agreements  pertaining  to the  pertaining  to the  Phase I  Option
Property.  The agreements to be so assumed by Optionee  shall  include,  without
limitation,  any  personal  guaranty of any  indebtedness  or other  obligations
pertaining to the Project.

                         C.  Following  the  exercise  by  Optionee of the Third
Option,  Optionor  shall,  at and as of the  closing  of the  Escrow,  assign to
Optionee,  and  Optionee  shall then assume all of the  obligations  of Optionor
under, all agreements pertaining to the Phase I Option Property.  The agreements
to be so assumed by Optionee shall  include,  without  limitation,  any personal
guaranty of any indebtedness or other obligations pertaining to the Project.

                  2.02.  Indemnity  by  Optionee.   Optionee  hereby  agrees  to
indemnify,  defend and hold Optionor harmless from any claim, loss, or liability
arising from or in connection with any failure by Optionee to perform any of the
obligations  assumed by Optionee in accordance with Section 20.1. Such agreement
by Optionee to indemnify, defend and hold Optionor harmless shall apply, without
limitation, to any litigation pertaining to the entitlements for the development
of the Project or Phase II or the  environmental  review which was  conducted in
connection with the applications filed by Optionor for such entitlements.






                  20.3.  Indemnity  by  Optionor.   Optionor  hereby  agrees  to
indemnify,  defend and hold Optionee harmless from any claim, loss, or liability
arising from or in connection with any default by Optionor arising prior to such
assignment  in the  performance  by  Optionor  of the  obligations  of  Optionor
pursuant to the agreements  assigned by Optionor to Optionee in accordance  with
Section  20.1.  The  foregoing  notwithstanding:  (i) to  the  extent  that  the
performance of any such obligation by Optionor would have resulted in an expense
which  would be or have been a part a Phase I Project  Cost or Phase II  Current
Costs,  then the amount  which would have been a part of Phase I Project Cost or
Phase II Current Costs shall nevertheless  remain a part of such Phase I Project
Cost or Phase II  Current  Costs  and shall  not be an  amount  covered  by this
indemnity;  and,  (ii) to the  extent  that any  default  by  Optionor  arose in
connection  with any material  breach by Optionee of its  obligations  under the
Lease or the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement or the letter agreements referred
to in Section 3.5 of the Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement,  Optionor shall not
have any obligation to indemnify,  defend or hold Optionee harmless with respect
to such  default.  Such  agreement  by  Optionor to  indemnify,  defend and hold
Optionee harmless shall apply, without limitation,  to any litigation pertaining
to the  entitlements  for the  development  of the  Project  or  Phase II or the
environmental  review which was  conducted in connection  with the  applications
filed by Optionor for such entitlements.


         21.      CERTAIN RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS.

                  21.1. Subordination to Rights of Lenders. Within ten (10) days
of a written  request from  Optionor to Optionee,  Optionee  shall  execute such
other and further  instruments as may be required to  subordinate  the rights of
Optionee  pursuant to this Option Agreement to the interests of any lender under
any mortgage,  deed of trust or other instrument securing the repayment of funds
for purposes of Construction Financing or Take-Out Financing; provided, however,
that such lender shall agree in writing that,  in the event of a foreclosure  of
the mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument,  whether by action, pursuant to
an exercise of the power of sale therein contained or otherwise,  or delivery of
a deed to the PG&E Option Property or the Phase I Option  Property,  as the case
may be, or any part thereof or interest therein,  in lieu of foreclosure of such
mortgage,  deed of trust or other  instrument,  or other  proceeding  brought to
enforce the rights of the lender  thereunder or under any other related security
documents  (collectively,  a "Foreclosure Sale Event"), then the Options, to the
extent  that,  and for so as,  any one (1) or more of them have not  expired  by
their respective terms  unexercised,  shall continue in full force and effect as
direct options between  Optionee and the succeeding  owner who acquires title to
all or any portion of the PG&E Option  Property or the Phase I Option  Property,
as the case may be, as a result of such  Foreclosure Sale Event, or any interest
therein, upon and subject to the terms,  covenants and conditions of this Option
Agreement,  and  each  succeeding  owner  will  be  bound  by all of  Optionor's
obligations under this Option Agreement, except that each succeeding owner shall
not:

                         A. be liable  under this Option  Agreement  for damages
accruing  by reason of any  previous  act or  omission of any prior owner of the
PG&E  Option  Property  or the  Phase I  Option  Property,  as the  case may be,
(including, without limitation, the lender or any receiver appointed in any such
foreclosure action or proceeding,  although each prior owner shall remain liable
in damages for its own such acts or omissions) with respect to the Options;

                         B.  be  subject  to any  offsets,  defenses  or  claims
against the  Purchase  Price for the PG&E Option  Property or the Phase I Option
Property,  as the  case  may be,  thereafter  becoming  due  under  this  Option
Agreement  which have accrued to Optionee  against said prior owner with respect
to the Options;

                         C.  be  bound  by  any   modification  of  this  Option
Agreement  or by any  prepayment  of the  Purchase  Price  for the  PG&E  Option
Property  or the Phase I Option  Property,  as 





the  case may be  (other  than any  deposit  in  Escrow),  or by any  waiver  or
forbearance on the part of Optionee made  subsequent to the date the lender made
the loan  unless  such  modification,  prepayment,  waiver  or  forbearance  was
approved in writing by the lender;

                         D. be  required  to  construct,  install or pay for the
construction  or  installation  of  any  improvement,  whether  pursuant  to the
Leasehold Improvements Agreement or otherwise; or,

                         E. be bound for return of any  deposit  made on account
of the  Purchase  Price  for the  PG&E  Option  Property  or the  Phase I Option
Property,  as the case may be (other  than any deposit  held by such  succeeding
owner or any deposit in Escrow but only if such  succeeding  owner has succeeded
to the rights of Optionor with respect to such  Escrow),  unless the same either
has been  deposited  in Escrow and such  succeeding  owner has  succeeded to the
rights of Optionor with respect to such Escrow or  specifically  transferred  to
such succeeding owner.

         Optionee  agrees  that the  succeeding  owner's  failure to perform the
obligations of Optionor or any other prior  landlord from which such  succeeding
owner is  expressly  and  specifically  excused  pursuant to the  provisions  of
Sections 21.1.A through 21.1.E above, inclusive,  shall not constitute a default
by the succeeding owner under the Lease or the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement
and Optionee  shall have no rights against such  succeeding  owner on account of
any  such  failure,  except  as  otherwise  expressly  provided  in this  Option
Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Option Agreement shall, however,  limit or
otherwise adversely affect the rights or remedies of Optionee against Optionor.

                  21.2  Termination  of Option upon  Foreclosure. In the event a
lender  records a notice of  default  or notice of sale or  otherwise  commences
proceeding to obtain a judicial  declaration of foreclosure  under any mortgage,
deed of trust or other  instrument  securing the repayment of funds for purposes
of Construction Financing or Take-Out Financing, such lender shall give Optionee
written  notice  offering  to sell the loan of such  lender to  Optionee  for an
amount  equal to the then  outstanding  principal  balance  and all  accrued and
unpaid  interest,  charges,  fees  and  penalties  due  under  the  Construction
Financing  (or,  if the  Construction  Financing  is not then  outstanding,  the
Take-Out  Financing),  which  amount  shall be specified in the notice from such
lender to  Optionee.  Optionee  may accept such offer by written  notice to such
lender given  within  thirty (30) days of the receipt by Optionee of such notice
from the lender.  In the event that Optionee  accepts such offer,  then Optionee
shall purchase,  and such lender shall assign to Optionee,  all of such lender's
right,  title and interest in the loan documents and instruments,  and shall pay
the purchase  price thereof to lender.  The closing of the purchase  transaction
shall occur on the fifteenth (15th) day following the acceptance of the offer by
Optionee.  In the event that  Optionee  does not accept  such offer  within such
period of thirty (30) days,  then such lender may, in its sole discretion and by
written  notice to Optionee,  terminate any rights of Optionee  pursuant to this
Option  Agreement  or any  contract  resulting  from any  exercise of any of the
Options, all without compensation to Optionee. Upon such a termination,  neither
Optionor nor such lender shall have any further  obligations  to Optionee  under
this Option  Agreement,  and Optionee shall execute,  acknowledge and deliver to
such lender a quitclaim of the rights of Optionee under this Option Agreement.


         22.      ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

                  22.1.  Waiver and  Termination of Subsequent  Options.  In the
event that  Optionee  acquires  the PG&E Option  Property  pursuant to the First
Option, such acquisition shall constitute a waiver of, and shall terminate,  the
Second  Option and the Third Option.  In the event that  Optionee  exercises the
Second Option,  such exercise shall constitute a waiver of, and shall terminate,
the Third Option.



                  22.2.  Payable as Phase II Current  Costs.  Where this  Option
Agreement  provides  that an amount is  payable  in the same  manner as Phase II
Current Costs, such amounts shall be payable  irrespective of whether or not any
Phase II Current Costs are payable, either then or at any other time.

                  22.3.  Brokerage  Commissions  of  Optionor.  Optionor  hereby
warrants and represents to Optionee that Optionor has not employed any broker or
other party to whom a  commission  or finder's  fee is due with  respect to this
transaction.  Optionor  hereby  agrees  to and does  hereby  indemnify  and hold
Optionee free and harmless from and against all claims,  costs,  liabilities  or
causes of action by any broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming
through,  under or by reason of the conduct of Optionor in connection  with this
transaction.

                  22.4.  Brokerage  Commissions  of  Optionee.  Optionee  hereby
warrants and represents to Optionor that Optionee has not employed any broker or
other party to whom a  commission  or finder's  fee is due with  respect to this
transaction other than Sandy Greenblatt of H&L Commercial Real Estate, who shall
be compensated by Optionee pursuant to a separate  agreement between such broker
and  Optionee.  Optionee  hereby  agrees to and does hereby  indemnify  and hold
Optionor free and harmless from and against all claims,  costs,  liabilities  or
causes of action by any broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming
through,  under or by reason of the conduct of Optionee in connection  with this
transaction.

                  22.5.  Options  Personal to Optionee.  The First  Option,  the
Second Option and the Third Option are all personal to Fair,  Isaac and Company,
Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation,  and may not be assigned,  transferred  or sold,
either  directly or  indirectly,  to any other entity or person.  The  foregoing
notwithstanding,  Optionee may direct that Optionor  convey the Option  Property
directly to an entity which is  wholly-owned by Optionee or which is required to
effectuate  any  off-balance  sheet  financing  being  undertaken by Optionee in
connection with the development of the PG&E Property;  provided,  however, that:
(i) such entity  executes  and  delivers to Optionor an  agreement,  in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Optionor,  whereby such entity agrees to be
bound by all of the  elections  and  actions of  Optionee  with  respect to this
Option Agreement,  the Lease or the Leasehold Improvements Agreement;  (ii) such
entity  executes and delivers to Optionor an  agreement,  in form and  substance
reasonably  satisfactory  to  Optionor,  whereby  such entity  assumes,  for the
express benefit of Optionor,  all of the obligations of Optionor under the Lease
and the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  and  all  other  obligations  which
Optionee would have been required to assume had the PG&E Option  Property or the
Phase I Option  Property,  as the case may be, been conveyed to Optionee;  (iii)
Optionee  shall not be released  from any  obligation  or  liability of Optionee
hereunder; and, (iv) Optionee shall indemnify, defend and hold Optionor harmless
from and any  claim,  cost,  liability  or cause of  action  arising  from or in
connection  with the fact that the PG&E  Option  Property  or the Phase I Option
Property, as the case may be, is conveyed to such entity.

                  22.6.  Foreign Investor Tax Reporting  Requirements.  Optionor
hereby  warrants  to  Optionee  that  such  Optionor  is not a  foreign  person,
non-resident alien, foreign corporation,  foreign partnership,  foreign trust or
foreign estate, within the meaning of those terms set forth in Sections 1445 and
7701 of the Internal  Revenue  Code of the United  States.  Optionor  shall also
warrant,  represent  and  certify to  Optionee at the closing of the Escrow that
Optionor is a foreign person,  non-resident alien, foreign corporation,  foreign
partnership,  foreign trust or foreign estate, within the meaning of those terms
set forth in Sections  1445 and 7701 of the Internal  Revenue Code of the United
States.  Optionor  shall also  certify to  Optionee  whether or not  Optionee is
required to withhold a portion of the sales price from Optionor  pursuant to the
provisions of Sections  18805 and 26131 of the  California  Revenue and Taxation
Code,  and shall  complete  and deliver to Optionee at the closing of the Escrow
Form 590 ("Withholding  Exemption  




Certificate") of the California Franchise Tax Board to establish such exemption.

                  22.7. Relationship. Nothing contained in this Option Agreement
shall be deemed or  construed  by the parties or by any third person to create a
relationship  of principal and agent or a  partnership  or a joint venture among
Optionee, Optionor or between any two or more of them and any third party.

                  22.8.  Time.  Time is of the essence of this Option  Agreement
and of each provision hereof. The time in which any act required or permitted by
this Option  Agreement is to be performed  shall be  determined by excluding the
day upon which the event occurs from whence the time commences.  If the last day
upon which  performance  would otherwise be required or permitted is a Saturday,
Sunday or holiday,  then the time for performance  shall be extended to the next
day which is not a Saturday,  Sunday or holiday.  The term "holiday"  shall mean
all and only mandatory  federal  holidays during which  deliveries by the United
States Postal Service are suspended.  All references herein to a particular time
of day shall be to pacific standard time or, if then in effect, pacific daylight
time.

                  22.9.  Condemnation.  In the event that the PG&E  Property (or
any portion  thereof,  the taking of which would  materially  interfere with the
operation,  use and enjoyment of the PG&E Property for purposes  consistent with
the  provisions  of the  Lease)  is  the  subject  of a  written  notice  from a
governmental  agency having the power of eminent  domain that the governing body
or board of such  agency has made a  preliminary  determination  that the agency
plans  to  acquire,  or has made a final  determination  that  the  agency  will
acquire,  the PG&E Property (or any portion  thereof,  the taking of which would
materially interfere with the operation,  use and enjoyment of the PG&E Property
for purposes  consistent with the provisions of the Lease) by an exercise of the
power of eminent  domain,  and Optionee  elects to  terminate  the Lease and the
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement in accordance with their respective terms due
to such taking,  this Option  Agreement shall terminate as to the portion of the
PG&E Property as to which the Lease and the Lease Improvements Agreement were so
terminated.  In the event that this Option Agreement is terminated in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 22.9, the respective  rights and obligations
of Optionee and of Optionor  pursuant to this Option  Agreement  shall thereupon
terminate.  In the  event  that  this  Option  Agreement  is not  terminated  in
accordance  with the  provisions of this Section 22.9, the closing of the Escrow
following  an exercise of any of the Options  shall not be averted or delayed by
reason of any exercise of the power of eminent  domain with respect to a portion
of the PG&E  Property,  although  the award  paid or to be paid  respect of such
taking shall be assigned (or, if received by Optionor,  transferred) to Optionee
at the closing of the Escrow.  Optionor shall,  until the closing of the Escrow,
promptly notify Optionee of any condemnation or threat of condemnation  from any
governmental  entity with respect to the PG&E Property,  or any portion thereof,
but only if Optionor has actual notice of such condemnation or threat thereof.

                  22.10. Risk of Loss. In the event that Optionee duly exercises
one  of  the  Options  and  the  Site  and  Shell  Improvements  or  the  Tenant
Improvements or both are damaged or destroyed prior to the closing of the Escrow
(whether or not such damage or destruction  precedes or follows such  exercise),
then,  within  fifteen (15) days of written notice of such damage or destruction
from Optionor to Optionee,  Optionee shall elect either: (i) to proceed with the
closing of the Escrow and accept the Site and Shell  Improvements  or the Tenant
Improvements,  with the  Closing  Date being  extended  to permit  Optionor  and
Optionee  to perform  any  obligations  which  either of them may have under the
Lease or the Leasehold  Improvements Agreement to repair or replace the portions
of the Site and Shell  Improvements  or the  Tenant  Improvements  which were so
damaged or destroyed;  or, (ii) to accept the Site and Shell Improvements or the
Tenant Improvements in their then condition, "as is, with all faults",  together
with all insurance proceeds payable in respect of such damage or destruction, to
the extent that such  proceeds  are not claimed by the holder of any mortgage or
deed of trust  encumbering  the Phase I Land (in the event of which  



claim,  the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of
such proceeds so claimed by such holder).

                  22.11. Escrow Cancellation  Charges. If the Escrow should fail
to close by reason of a default by Optionor  hereunder,  Optionor  shall pay all
title policy or escrow cancellation  charges. If the Escrow should fail to close
by reason of a  default  by  Optionee  hereunder,  Optionee  shall pay all title
policy or escrow  cancellation  charges.  If the Escrow should fail to close for
any reason other than one of the  foregoing,  Optionee shall pay one-half of any
title policy or escrow  cancellation  charges and Optionor shall pay one-half of
any title policy or escrow cancellation charges.

                  22.12.  Supersedence.  This Option  Agreement  constitutes the
understanding  and agreement of the parties hereto pertaining to the Options and
all prior  agreements,  understandings  or  representations  pertaining to those
matters are hereby superseded in their entirety.

                  22.13.  Amendments.  This Option  Agreement  is not subject to
modification or amendment except by a writing executed by Optionee and Optionor.

                  22.14.   Severability.   Nothing  contained  herein  shall  be
construed  so as to require  the  commission  of any act  contrary  to law,  and
whenever there is any conflict  between any provision  herein and any present or
future statute,  law, ordinance or regulation contrary to which the parties have
no legal right to contract,  the latter shall prevail, but the provision of this
Option Agreement affected shall be limited only to the extent necessary to bring
it within the requirements of such statute, law, ordinance or regulation.

                  22.15.   Choice  of  Law.  This  Option  Agreement,   and  the
interpretation  and  enforcement  thereof,  shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.

                  22.16.  Waivers.  No failure by Optionee or Optionor to insist
upon a strict  performance  by the others of any covenant,  term or condition of
this Option  Agreement  or to  exercise  any right or remedy  consequent  upon a
breach  thereof  shall  constitute  a  waiver  of any  other  breach  or of such
covenant,  term or condition. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this
Option Agreement, but each and every covenant, term and condition of this Option
Agreement  shall  continue  in full force and effect  with  respect to any other
existing or subsequent breach.

                  22.17.  Survival.  All covenants,  agreements and  indemnities
made and all  obligations  to be performed  under the  provisions of this Option
Agreement,  to the extent not  performed  at or before the closing of the Escrow
(including,  without limitation,  Optionor's obligation to execute,  acknowledge
and deliver to Optionee  quitclaim  deeds and other  documents  as  described in
Sections 8.4 and 23.2),  shall survive the closing of the Escrow,  and shall not
be deemed to merge with the Grant Deed upon delivery or acceptance thereof.

                  22.18.  Notices.  Any notice or other communication  hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be given personally, or by prepaid registered mail
with return  receipt  requested or by  commercial  airfreight  delivery  service
guaranteeing  next  day  delivery.  Notices  may  also  effectively  be given by
transmittal  over  electronic  transmitting  devices  such as telex or  telecopy
machine  if the party to whom the  notice is being sent has such a device in its
office, provided that a standard machine-printed  confirmation of the electronic

transmitted  shall also be mailed in the same  manner as  required  for a mailed
notice.  Notices which are mailed or forwarded by commercial airfreight delivery
service shall be addressed as follows:

arbitration  or  action  for  any  relief  against  the  other,  declaratory  or
otherwise,  arising out of this Option Agreement,  the losing party shall pay to
the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees, which shall be deemed
to have accrued on the  commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or
not the arbitration or action is prosecuted to judgment.

                  22.20.  Further  Assurances.  Optionor and Optionee shall each
execute  such other and  further  agreements  as may  reasonably  be required to

shall at all times  after the close of Escrow  cooperate  with  Optionee  in its
dealings with the City, the Agency and all  consultants  and other third parties
with  whom  Optionor  has  worked in  connection  with the  Project  (excluding,
however,  Mr.  Martin  Zemcik  and Mr. E.  Glenn  Isaacson),  without,  however,
Optionor being required to incur any cost in connection with that cooperation.

                  22.21.  Separate  Counterparts.  This Option  Agreement may be
executed in one or more separate counterparts,  each of which, when so executed,

and the Section or subsection  at the head of which it appears,  the Section and
not such  caption  shall  control  and govern the  construction  of this  Option
Agreement.  Unless the context otherwise  requires,  singular nouns and pronouns
used in this  Option  Agreement  are to be  construed  as  including  the plural

                  22.24.  Memorandum  of Option.  Concurrently  with  Optionor's
acquisition of fee title to the PG&E Property or any portion  thereof,  Optionor

         23.      CONTINGENT PURCHASE PRICE.

                  23.1.  Payment  of  Contingent  Purchase  Price.  If  Optionee
exercises  the First  Option and  acquires  the PG&E  Option  Property  pursuant
thereto  and,  at any time prior to the third (3rd)  anniversary  of the Closing
Date,  Optionee  offers to sell,  transfer  or convey any  interest  in the PG&E
Option  Property or any part thereof to a purchaser or  transferee  which is not
either (a) a Synthetic Lease Lessor, or (b) directly or indirectly  wholly-owned
by  Optionee,  then  Optionee  shall  deliver  to  Optionor  written  notice  of
Optionee's  intention  or offer to sell,  transfer or convey any interest in the
PG&E Option Property or any part thereof.  Concurrently with the consummation of
such sale, transfer or conveyance, Optionee shall pay to Optionor the Contingent
Purchase Price in cash or immediately available funds.




                  23.2. Recordation of Memorandum of Agreement;  Quitclaim Deed.
On the  Closing  Date of  Optionee's  acquisition  of the PG&E  Option  Property
pursuant to an exercise of the First Option by  Optionee,  Optionor and Optionee
shall each execute, acknowledge and record a memorandum of agreement in the form
attached  hereto as  Exhibit  H. Upon the  earlier to occur of the date on which
Optionee pays to Optionor the Contingent  Purchase  Price,  or the date which is
five (5) days  after the  receipt by  Optionor  of a written  representation  by
Optionee that Optionee has not, at any time prior to the third (3rd) anniversary
of such Closing  Date,  offered to sell,  transfer or convey any interest in the
PG&E  Option  Property  or any part  thereof  in breach of  Section  23.1,  then
Optionor  shall execute,  acknowledge  and deliver to Optionee (or to such other
person or entity as Optionee  may  request) a quitclaim  deed (and/or such other
documents as may be reasonably required) expressly terminating the memorandum of
agreement  described  above  only  with  respect  to the  obligation  to pay the
Contingent  Purchase Price and quitclaiming to Optionee (or to such other person
or entity as Optionee may request) all of Optionor's  right,  title and interest
