DATE:                  September 1, 1983

LANDLORD:              OKLAHOMA CITY INVESTMENT GROUP,
                       a California Partnership

LANDLORD'S ADDRESS:    10951 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite II C
                       San Diego, CA 92037

TENANT:                SCRIPPS BANK (in organization),
                       a California Banking Corporation

TENANT'S ADDRESS:      7817 Ivanhoe Avenue
                       La Jolla, California 92037

     In consideration of the rents and covenants hereinafter set forth, the 
above-named Landlord hereby leases to the abovenamed Tenant, and Tenant 
hereby rents from Landlord, the following described premises (the "Premises") 
upon the following terms and conditions:

     1.  PREMISES.  The Premises consists of that office space described on 
"Exhibit A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, to be constructed in 
accordance with the terms and provisions set forth on "Exhibit B" attached 
hereto and made a part hereof.

     2.  TERM.

         2.1  The term of this Lease shall be for (10) years (the "lease 
term"), commencing February 1, 1984 and ending January 31, 1994. Landlord 
shall permit Tenant and Tenant's contractors to enter upon the Premises from 
and after the date of this Lease for the purpose of constructing Tenant's 
work in accordance with Exhibit B hereto; Tenant shall have exclusive 
possession of the Premises commencing October 15, 1983 (unless that date be 
postponed in accordance with Paragraph 3.1) for all purposes contemplated by 
this Lease, including opening for business. Early possession of the Premises 
by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 2.1 shall be subject to all terms and 
provisions of this Lease except payment of rent and liability for Direct 
Expenses as provided in Paragraph 3.3.

         2.2  Exhibit C is attached to this Lease and grants to Tenant 
options to renew this Lease pursuant to the following provisions: (i) the 
option or options granted shall be to renew this Lease on all terms and 
provisions contained in this Lease except for monthly rent, which shall be as 
set forth on Exhibit C and subject to adjustment in accordance with the 
provisions of Paragraph 3.2; (ii) Tenant shall give to Landlord at least six 
(6) months but not more than twelve (12) months notice in writing of the 
exercise of any such option to renew; (iii) if Tenant is in default under 
this Lease on the date of giving Landlord notice of exercise of any such 
option to renew, or if Tenant is in default hereunder on the date any renewal 
or extended term is to commence, any such extended or renewal term shall not 
commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the initial term or then 
renewal term. Wherever in this Lease the words "lease term" appear, that 
phrase shall include any renewal or extended term if the context so indicates.


                                       -1-


     3.  RENTAL.  Tenant agrees to pay as rental for the use and occupancy of 
the Premises, at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, the 
following sums of money:

         3.1  MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as the 
minimum monthly rent for the Premises, the sum of Twenty-three Thousand, 
Seven Hundred Seventeen and 20/100 Dollars ($23,717.20) per month. The 
monthly rent, as it may be adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, shall be paid 
by Tenant in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during 
the lease term, without setoff or deduction, commencing on February 1, 1984, 
unless the Building shell has not been certified as complete by the City of 
San Diego Building Inspection Department by October 15, 1983. In that event 
the date upon which Tenant's obligation to pay rent under this Paragraph 3.1 
shall be extended by the number of days following October 15, 1983 until so 
certified by the City of San Diego, except to the extent any such delay is 
caused by Tenant or Tenant's contractors. Should the rental payment period 
commence on a day of a month other than the first in accordance with the 
preceding sentence, then the monthly rent for the first fractional month 
shall be computed on a daily basis from the date of commencement through the 
end of the month at an amount equal to 1/30 of the monthly rent for each such 
day.

         3.2  ADJUSTMENT OF MONTHLY RENT.

              3.2.1  The minimum monthly rent provided for in Paragraph 3.1 
shall be subject to adjustment either upward or downward at the commencement 
of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the lease term and at the beginning of 
every thirty-sixth (36th) month period thereafter during the initial lease 
term ("the adjustment date") as follows: The base for computing the 
adjustment is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the San 
Diego Area (1967=100), published by the United States Department of Labor, 
Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index") published for September 1983 ("Beginning 
Index"). The Index published for September preceding the adjustment date in 
question ("Extension Index") is to be used in determining the amount of the 
adjustment. The monthly rent for the following 36-month period commencing on 
the adjustment date shall be set by multiplying the minimum monthly rent set 
forth in Paragraph 3.1 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Extension 
Index and the denominator of which is the Beginning Index. In no case shall 
the monthly rent be less than the minimum monthly rent set forth in Paragraph 
3.1, nor shall the rent so calculated reflect more than a six (6) percent 
annual increase, noncompounded. On adjustment of the monthly rent as provided 
in this Lease, the parties shall immediately execute a writing or an 
amendment to this Lease stating the new monthly rent. If the Index is changed 
so that the base year differs from that in effect when the lease term 
commenced, the Index shall be converted in accordance with the conversion 
factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor 
Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the lease term, 
such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be 
used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if 
the Index had not been discontinued or revised. If not replaced, the parties 
shall select another similar index which reflects similar consumer price 
levels, and if the parties cannot agree on another such index it shall be 
determined by binding arbitration, the cost of which shall be borne equally 
by the parties.


                                       -2-


              3.2.2  If Tenant exercises its right to extend this Lease as 
specified on Exhibit C, the monthly rent hereunder for each then beginning 
renewal term shall be fixed in accordance with the following formula: No 
later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of exercise of 
option to renew, Landlord shall notify Tenant the full amount of rent which 
would have been payable pursuant to the cost-of-living adjustment formula set 
forth in Paragraph 3.2.1 for the first year of the renewal term in question, 
had there been an adjustment for said year and had rent increases not been 
limited to six (6) percent annually, together with Landlord's statement as to 
the fair market rental rate for the Premises at that time. The Index figure 
to be used for such calculation shall be that published most recently prior 
to Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of exercise of option to renew. Rent 
for the then beginning renewal term shall be the lower of the fair market 
rental rate or the fully increased rent as set forth in Landlord's statement. 
If Tenant disagrees with Landlord's statement, Landlord and Tenant shall each 
appoint an MAI appraiser, and the two appraisers shall appoint a third. The 
third appraiser shall determine the prevailing market rent for comparable 
space, which shall be the initial rental rate for the then beginning renewal 
term unless the fully increased rent set forth on Landlord's statement is 
lower. The cost of the appraisal process shall be borne equally by the 
parties.

              3.2.3  At the beginning of the 37th month during each renewal 
term the monthly rent so fixed in accordance with Paragraph 3.2.2 shall be 
adjusted to reflect changes in the Index during the renewal term using the 
formula specified in Paragraph 3.2.1, except that for the renewal term in 
question, the initial rent for that renewal term shall be multiplied by a 
fraction equal to the Extension Index divided by the Beginning Index. The 
Beginning Index for purposes of this Paragraph 3.2.2 shall be that for 
September preceding the commencement of that renewal term. In no event shall 
the rent as so adjusted be decreased below the rent payable during the first 
month of the renewal term then in effect, nor above a six (6) percent annual 
increase, noncompounded.

         3.3  MAINTENANCE COSTS.  In addition to the foregoing monthly rent, 
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord a portion of Landlord's Direct Expenses of 
operation (hereinafter defined) as follows:

              3.3.1  DEFINITION OF DIRECT EXPENSES.  As used herein, the term 
"Direct Expenses" mans all direct costs of operation and maintenance of the 
building and appurtenances of which the Premises are a part (hereinafter 
referred to as the "Building"), as determined by standard accounting 
practices. Direct Expenses are composed of two categories. Category A Direct 
Expenses include real property taxes and assessments, rent taxes, gross 
receipt taxes (whether assessed against Landlord or assessed against Tenant 
and collected by Landlord, or both), as well as all other taxes which may now 
or in the future become due as a result of the existence or operation of the 
Building, excluding income taxes. Category B Direct Expenses include, by way 
of illustration only and not for purposes of limitation, common area water 
and sewer charges, insurance premiums, common area utilities, common area 
services, labor, costs incurred in the management of the Building including a 
management fee not to exceed fifteen (15) percent of Category A and B Direct 
Expenses, common area air-conditioning and heating costs and upkeep, repair, 
repainting or refurbishing of all parking, structures and common area.


                                      -3-


Direct Expenses shall not include overhead or profit except as noted herein, 
depreciation of the Building or equipment therein, loan payments, executive 
salaries or real estate brokers' commissions.

              3.3.2  PAYMENT OF DIRECT EXPENSES.  Tenant shall pay 
twenty-nine and three-tenths percent (29.3%) of all Category A Direct 
Expenses, plus twenty-nine and three-tenths percent (29.3%) of the amount of 
increases over first year Category B Direct Expenses (as provided in 
Paragraph 3.3.3), such percentage representing the portion of the total 
rentable area of the Building occupied by the Premises. Landlord shall give 
to Tenant, as close to the date upon which monthly rent payments commence as 
is reasonably practical, a reasonably detailed statement of estimated Direct 
Expenses and Tenant's share of such direct Expenses, showing, in addition, 
how Tenant's share was computed. Tenant shall pay one-twelfth thereof 
concurrently with each monthly rent payment. If the statement is not rendered 
prior to commencement of rent payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an 
account equal to one such monthly installment multiplied by the number of 
months since commencement of monthly rent until the month of such payment, 
both months inclusive.

              3.3.3  INCREASES IN DIRECT EXPENSES.  Landlord shall endeavor 
to give to Tenant on or before March 1 of each subsequent year a statement of 
Direct Expenses payable by Tenant, giving Tenant credit for the estimated 
installment payments received from Tenant. Failure of Landlord to provide 
such statement by that date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its 
right to require payment by Tenant of the sums show thereon to be due. Such 
statement shall be in reasonable detail and shall be certified by Landlord as 
correct. Landlord shall maintain all records relating to Direct Expenses for 
three (3) years. Tenant's liability for increases in Category B Direct 
Expenses shall be based on initial first year total Category B Expenses of 
Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) or Landlord's actual Category B Direct 
Expenses, whichever is greater. Tenant shall have no liability for increases 
in Category A Direct Expenses if any increase is the result of reassessment 
of the Building upon change of ownership as described in Sections 60 et. seq. 
of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Tenant shall pay in full the 
total amount due for the preceding year, in excess of the installment 
payments made by Tenant, upon receipt of Landlord's statement.

              3.3.4  PAYMENT OF INCREASES IN SUCCEEDING YEARS.  Landlord's 
statement referred to in Paragraph 3.3.3 shall include Landlord's estimate of 
Tenant's liability for Direct Expenses for the current year divided into 
twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Such estimate shall be based upon the 
prior year's Direct Expenses and shall include reasonably anticipated 
increases or decreases in Direct Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, 
concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the 
receipt of such statement, an amount equal to one (1) such monthly 
installment multiplied by the number of months from January in the year in 
which said statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months 
inclusive, less the amount of estimated installment payments received from 
Tenant. Installments for subsequent months shall be payable concurrently with 
the regular monthly rent payments and shall continue until the next year's 
statement is rendered.

              3.3.5  DECREASES IN DIRECT EXPENSES.  If in any year Tenant's 
share of Direct Expenses shall be less than the


                                      -4-


sum of the estimated installment payments made by Tenant, then any 
overpayment made by Tenant on the monthly installments basis shall be paid to 
Tenant in cash.

              3.3.6  PAYMENT OF DIRECT EXPENSES ON TERMINATION.  Even though 
the lease term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the 
final determination is made of Tenant's share of Direct Expenses for the year 
in which this Lease terminates, upon notification by Landlord, Tenant shall 
immediately pay any increase due over the estimated installment payments 
made; and conversely, any overpayment made in the event said expenses 
decrease shall be credited toward any sums owing from Tenant to Landlord, or 
paid by Landlord to Tenant if no sums are owing. Landlord shall prorate 
Tenant's share of Direct Expenses to the date of termination, and shall 
provide Tenant with a calculation of how Tenant's share was determined.

              3.3.7  TENANT'S RIGHT TO INSPECT RECORDS.  Tenant shall have 
the right to examine Landlord's records relating to Direct Expenses at all 
reasonable times during regular business hours upon ten (10) days' advance 
notice in writing to Landlord. In the event Tenant discovers a discrepancy 
which caused Tenant to pay in excess of Tenant's actual percentage of 
Category A and B Direct Expenses, said overpayment shall be refunded to 
Tenant. If Tenant discovers a discrepancy which caused Tenant to pay less 
than its actual percentage then Tenant shall pay Landlord the balance due. If 
any above described excess payment by Tenant exceeds 2% of the amount 
originally charged to Tenant, then Landlord shall pay Tenant's out-of-pocket 
costs in conducting such examination.

     4.   SECURITY DEPOSIT.  Tenant agrees that Tenant shall deposit with 
Landlord on the date Tenant opens for business from the Premises the sum of 
Twenty-three Thousand, Seven Hundred Seventeen and 20/100 Dollars 
($23,717.20), to be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance 
by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept 
and performed by Tenant during the lease term. If Tenant defaults with 
respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to 
payment of monthly rent or Direct Expenses, Landlord may (but shall not be 
required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the security deposit for 
the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to 
spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other 
loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If 
any portion of Tenant's deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within 
five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord cash in an 
amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to the original amount, and 
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord 
shall not be required to maintain Tenant's security deposit separate from 
Landlord's general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on 
such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of 
this Lease to be performed by Tenant, the security deposit or any balance 
thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's option, to the last 
assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the second year 
of the lease term. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest in this 
Lease, Landlord shall assign and transfer said deposit to Landlord's 
successor in interest hereunder, whereupon Landlord's obligations hereunder 
shall terminate.

     5.   UTILITIES AND SERVICES.  Tenant agrees, at its own expense, to pay 
for all services and utilities used by Tenant on


                                      -5-


the Premises from and after delivery of possession thereof by Landlord. If a 
separate meter is provided for Tenant for any such utilities, it shall be at 
Tenant's expense. Landlord agrees that initially, and only to the extent 
shown on "Exhibit B" hereto, Landlord shall cause utilities and services to 
be made available to Tenant.

     6.   POSSESSION AND USE.

          6.1  Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes 
specified in "Exhibit D" attached hereto. Tenant shall not use or permit the 
Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the 
prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not sell merchandise from 
vending machines or allow any coin-operated vending or gaming machines (other 
than for use by employees of Tenant) on the Premises without the prior 
written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use or permit any person or 
persons to use the Premises or any part thereof for conducting a second-hand 
store, auction, distress or fire sale or bankruptcy or going out-of-business 
sale, or for any use or purpose in violation of the laws of the United States 
of America, or the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of the 
State, County and City where the Premises are situated, or other lawful 
authorities. The Premises and every part thereof shall be kept by Tenant in a 
clean and wholesome condition, free of any objectionable noises, odors or 
nuisances; and that all health and police regulations shall, in all respects 
and at all times, shall be complied with by Tenant. Tenant shall not cause, 
maintain nor permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises, the Building 
nor commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. No 
aerial or antenna shall be erected on the roof or exterior walls of the 
Premises or the Building without first obtaining, in each instance, the 
written consent of Landlord. Any aerial or antenna so installed without such 
written consent shall be subject to removal without notice at any time. In 
addition, Tenant shall not solicit in any manner in any of the automobile 
parking and common areas of the Building. Tenant shall not close Tenant's 
office for five (5) or more consecutive days without first obtaining 
Landlord's written consent. Landlord reserves the right to regulate the 
activities of Tenant in regard to deliveries and servicing of the Premises, 
provided that the same shall not reasonably interfere with Tenant's 
business, and Tenant agrees to abide by such non-discriminatory regulations 
of Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about 
the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of 
other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure or annoy them or use or 
allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or 
objectionable purpose.

          6.2  Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in good 
condition and free of defects with respect to the structural engineering and 
construction of the shell of the Premises. Upon notification to Landlord of 
any defect in such structural engineering or construction Landlord shall 
promptly repair the same at Landlord's sole cost.

     7.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and 
expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental 
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in 
force, and with the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters 
or other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted, relating to, or 
affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises,


                                      -6-


excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant's 
improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or 
the admission of Tenant in any action against the Tenant, whether Landlord be 
a part thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance 
or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of the 
fact as between Landlord or Tenant. Landlord represents that this Lease and 
Tenant's planned use of the Premises will not be violative of any applicable 
governmental statute, ordinance or regulation, excluding governmental 
regulation of Tenant's banking operations and compliance by Tenant with 
respect to Tenant's improvements to the Premises, but including zoning 
ordinances. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not, as of the date of this 
Lease, received final approval of zoning modifications with respect to the 
Premises for Tenant's use. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without 
relieving Landlord of its obligation to pursue such final approval with due 
diligence, if Landlord and Tenant agree prior to October 15, 1983 that 
Landlord will be unable to obtain such final approval, then this Lease shall 
terminate upon such agreement and Landlord's liability to Tenant for breach 
of the representation herein that this Lease is not violative of zoning 
ordinances shall be limited to Tenant's out-of-pocket costs in connection 
with the negotiation of this Lease and preparation of the Premises for 
Tenant's use. In the event Landlord and Tenant agree after October 15, 1983, 
that such final approval will not be forthcoming, there shall be no 
limitation on Landlord's liability for Tenant's damages for breach of such 
representation.

     8.   INDEMNITY, INSURANCE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION:

          8.1  Tenant covenants with Landlord that Landlord shall not be 
liable for any damage or liability of any kind or for any injury to or death 
of persons or damage to property of Tenant or any other person, from and 
after Tenant taking possession thereof pursuant to the provisions of 
Paragraph 2.1, from any cause whatsoever by reason of the use, occupancy and 
enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant or any person holding under Tenant, and 
that Tenant will indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from all liability 
whatsoever on account of any such real or claimed damage or injury and from 
all liens, claims and demands arising out of the use of the premises, by 
Tenant, its invitees, agents and employees or any person holding under 
Tenant, or in connection with any repairs or alterations which Tenant may 
make, except to the extent any such damage or claim results from the 
negligent or intentional act or omission of Landlord. This obligation to 
indemnify shall include reasonable attorneys' fees.

          8.2  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have 
against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or 
Tenant, as the case may be, their respective property, the Premises or 
contents (or if the Premises are part of a development to other portions of 
the Building), arising from any risk covered by fire and extended coverage 
insurance required to be carried by this Lease; and the parties each, on 
behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of 
either Landlord or Tenant against any such loss, waive any right of 
subrogation that it may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. 
The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as 
available in the State in which the Premises are situated.

          8.3  Tenant further covenants and agrees that from and after Tenant 
taking possession of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 
2.1, Tenant will carry and maintain, at


                                      -7-


its sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance, in the amounts 
specified and in the form hereinafter provided for:

               8.3.1  Bodily injury liability insurance with limits of not 
less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per person and One Million 
Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence insuring against any and all liability of 
the insured with respect to the Premises or arising out of the maintenance, 
use or occupancy thereof, and property damage liability insurance with a 
limit of not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) per accident 
or occurrence. All such bodily injury liability insurance and property damage 
liability insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of 
the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death or persons and 
injury or damage to property in this Section 8 contained; and

               8.3.2  Insurance covering Tenant's leasehold improvements, 
alterations, additions or improvements permitted under Section 9, trade 
fixtures, merchandise and personal property from time to time in, on or upon 
the Premises, in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) of their full 
replacement cost from time to time during the lease-term, providing 
protection against any peril included within the classification "Fire and 
Extended Coverage", together with insurance against sprinkler damage, 
vandalism and malicious mischief. Any insurance proceeds shall be used for 
the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless the 
Lease shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Section 14.

               8.3.3  All policies of insurance provided for herein shall be 
issued by insurance companies with a Best rating of A or better and shall be 
issued in the names of Landlord and Tenant, which policies shall be for 
mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord and Tenant. Certificate 
of such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days 
after Tenant has entered upon the Premises pursuant to the provisions of 
Paragraph 2.1, and thereafter within thirty (30) days after renewal of each 
such policy. All comprehensive general liability policies shall contain a 
provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be 
entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss occasioned to Landlord, 
its servants, agents and employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant. As 
often as any such policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional 
policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to 
like extent. All certificates of insurance delivered to Landlord must contain 
a provision that the company writing said policy will give to the Landlord 
twenty (20) days' notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse, 
or the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of insurance. All 
comprehensive general liability and other casualty policies shall be written 
as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage 
which Landlord may carry. Tenant's deductible limits from time to time shall 
be commercially reasonable and be approved by Landlord, which approval shall 
not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Landlord's consent shall not be 
required to deductible limits of $10,000 or less. In the event of any loss 
covered by insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, 
Tenant shall pay the deductible amount applicable to the party entitled 
thereto, and shall indemnify Landlord in connection therewith as required by 
Paragraph 8.1.


                                      -8-


          8.4  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this 
Section 8, Tenant's obligation to carry the insurance provided for herein may 
be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of 
insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord 
shall be named as an additional assured thereunder as its interests may 
appear and that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or 
diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance; and 
provided further that the requirements set forth in this Section 8 are 
otherwise satisfied.

          8.5  Tenant agrees that it will not at any time during the lease 
term carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the Premises which 
will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates upon the Building. 
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any 
increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire that may be charged 
during the lease term on the amount of insurance carried by Landlord on the 
Building resulting from the foregoing or from Tenant doing any act which does 
so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented 
to any such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises 
any electrical equipment which constitutes an overload of the electrical 
lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes 
are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters 
and any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, but nothing 
herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to such 
overloading. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all requirements, 
including the installation of fire extinguishers or automatic dry chemical 
extinguishing system, of the insurance underwriters or any governmental 
authority having jurisdiction thereover, necessary for the maintenance of 
reasonable fire and extended coverage insurance for the Premises and portions 
of the Building which exclusively benefit Tenant.

          8.6  Landlord, at its cost, shall maintain on the Building and 
other improvements in which the Premises are located a policy of standard 
fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief 
endorsements, to the extent of at least ninety (90) percent of full 
replacement value. Tenant acknowledges that such casualty insurance does not 
cover Tenant, and that Tenant's property and improvements shall be insured by 
Tenant as required by Paragraph 8.3.2. Landlord shall also maintain in effect 
during the lease term liability insurance with respect to the common areas in 
such amounts and with deductible limits as Landlord deems prudent to protect 
the interests of Landlord and all tenants of the Building. Landlord shall 
provide to Tenant certificates of the insurance required to be carried by 
Landlord hereunder. All public liability and property damage policies shall 
contain a provision that Tenant, although named as an insured, shall 
nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss 
occasioned to Tenant, its servants, agents and employees, by reason of the 
negligence of Landlord, and shall contain a provision that the company 
writing said policy will give Tenant twenty (20) days' notice in writing in 
advance of the cancellation or lapse of such insurance. All such policies 
shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with or in excess of 
coverage which Tenant may carry. In the event of any loss covered by 
insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord 
shall not pass on to Tenant, as a Direct Expense under Paragraph 3.1 or 
otherwise, all or any portion of the deductible amount payable as a result of 
any such loss.


                                       -9-


      9.  TENANT'S RIGHT TO MAKE ALTERATIONS.  Landlord agrees that Tenant 
may, at its own expense but only after obtaining Landlord's written consent 
thereto, from time to time during the lease term, make alterations, additions 
and changes in and to the interior of the Premises (except those of a 
structural nature) as Tenant may find necessary or convenient for Tenant's 
purposes. In addition, no alterations, additions or changes shall be made to 
any portion of the Premises fronting on a common area, the exterior walls or 
roof of the Premises or the Building. In no event shall Tenant make or cause 
to be made any penetration through the roof of the Premises or the Building 
without the prior written approval of Landlord. Tenant shall be directly 
responsible for any and all of damages resulting from any violation of the 
provisions of this Section 9. All work with respect to any alterations, 
additions, and changes must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and 
diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all 
times be a complete unit except during the period of work. Upon completion of 
such work, Tenant shall file for record in the office of the County Recorder 
of the County in which the Premises are situated a Notice of Completion as 
permitted by law. All work by Tenant hereunder shall be performed and done 
strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto. Tenant 
shall have all such work performed in such a manner as not to obstruct the 
access to the Building by any other tenant of the Building. In the event that 
Tenant shall make any permitted alterations, additions or improvements to the 
Premises under the terms and provisions of this Section 9, Tenant agrees upon 
its part to carry insurance in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord, 
covering any such alteration, addition or improvement, it being expressly 
understood and agreed that none of such alterations, additions or 
improvements shall be insured by Landlord under such insurance as Landlord 
may carry upon the Building, nor shall Landlord be required under any 
provisions for reconstruction of the Premises to reinstall any such 
alterations, improvements or additions. Tenant shall request Landlord's 
written consent to any work under this Paragraph 9 at least ten (10) days' 
prior to the anticipated commencement thereof and shall, if required by 
Landlord, secure a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to 
Landlord at Tenant's own cost and expense. All improvements made by Tenant to 
the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall be the property of Tenant 
during the lease term. Upon termination of Tenant's leasehold estate such 
alterations, additions or changes shall be considered as improvements and 
shall belong to Landlord, except as provided in Paragraph 11.

     10.  MECHANIC'S LIENS.

          10.1  Tenant agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all costs 
for work done by Tenant or cause to be done by Tenant on the Premises, and 
the Tenant will keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanic's liens and 
other liens on account of work done for Tenant or persons claiming under 
Tenant. Tenant agrees to and shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord free 
and harmless against liability, loss, damage, costs, attorneys' fees, and all 
other expenses on account of claims of lien of laborers or materialmen or 
others for work performed or materials or supplies furnished for Tenant or 
persons claiming under Tenant. If Tenant shall desire to contest any claim of 
lien, Tenant shall furnish Landlord adequate security of the value or in the 
amount of the claim, plus estimated costs and interest, or a bond of a 
responsible corporate surety in such amount conditioned on the discharge of


                                       -10-


the lien. If a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of a 
lien for any amount is entered, Tenant shall pay and satisfy the same at 
once. If Tenant shall be in default in paying any charge for which a 
mechanics' lien claim and suit to foreclose the lien have been filed, and 
shall not have given Landlord security to protect the property and Landlord 
against such claim of lien, Landlord may (but shall not be so required to) 
pay the said claim and any costs, upon five (5) days' notice to Tenant, and 
the amount so paid, together with reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in 
connection therewith, shall be immediately due and owing from Tenant to 
Landlord, and Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord with interest at the 
maximum lawful rate from the dates of Landlord's payments. Should any claims 
of lien be filed against the Premises or any action affecting the title to 
such property be commenced, the party receiving notice of such lien or action 
shall forthwith give the other party written notice thereof.

          10.2  Landlord or its representatives shall have the right to go 
upon and inspect the Premises at all reasonable times and shall have the 
right to post and keep posted thereon notices of nonresponsibility, or such 
other notice which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of 
Landlord's interest in the Premises. After obtaining the written consent of 
Landlord thereto Tenant shall, before the commencement of any work which 
might result in any such lien, give to the Landlord written notice of its 
intention to do so in sufficient time to enable the posting of such notices.

     11.  FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.

          11.1  Any equipment, trade fixtures, signs and other personal 
property of Tenant not permanently affixed to the Premises shall remain the 
property of Tenant, and Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, at 
any time, and from time to time, to remove any and all of its equipment, 
trade fixtures, signs and other personal property which it may have stored or 
installed in the Premises. Tenant at its expense shall immediately repair any 
damage occasioned to the Premises or the Building by reason of the removal of 
any such equipment, trade fixtures, signs, and other personal property, and 
upon the last day of the lease term or a date of earlier termination of this 
Lease, shall leave the Premises in a neat and clean condition, free of 
debris. All improvements to the Premises by Tenant, including but not limited 
to heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning equipment, light fixtures, 
floor coverings and nonmovable, demountable ceiling height partitions (but 
excluding movable equipment, movable nondemountable partitions of less than 
ceiling height, trade fixtures and signs) shall become the property of 
Landlord upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; except that 
Tenant may at Tenant's option remove any improvements made by Tenant pursuant 
to Paragraph 9 herein provided.

          11.2  Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, 
license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business 
operation, as well as upon its trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, 
merchandise and other personal property in, on or upon the Premises. In the 
event any such items of property are assessed with property of Landlord, 
then, and in such event, Landlord shall divide such assessment between 
Landlord and Tenant and to the end that


                                       -11-


Tenant shall pay only its equitable proportion of such assessment. Tenant 
shall remit the amount of any such divided assessment to Landlord within ten 
(10) business days after receipt from Landlord of a statement therefor 
reflecting such division.

     12.  ASSIGNING, MORTGAGING, SUBLETTING, CHANGE IN CORPORATE OWNERSHIP.

          12.1  Tenant shall not transfer, assign, sublet, mortgage or 
hypothecate this Lease or Tenant's interest in the Premises without first 
procuring the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be 
unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $100.00 with 
each request for Landlord's consent, to cover Landlord's expenses in 
connection with processing each such request. Any such consent of Landlord 
shall not be construed as consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or 
other such transfer. Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgage 
or hypothecation without Landlord's written consent shall be void and confer 
no rights upon any third person; and Landlord reserves the right of immediate 
re-entry in the event of any such attempted transfer. Nothing herein 
contained shall relieve Tenant from its covenants and obligations for and 
during the lease term. Nothing in this Paragraph 12.1 shall be construed as 
to limit Tenant's right to enter into a license agreement whereby Tenant 
would do business from the Premises as the licensee of another financial 
institution.

          12.2  Each transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgage and 
hypothecation to which there has been consent shall be by an instrument in 
writing, in form satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be executed by the 
transferor, assignor, sublessor, hypothecator or mortgagor and the 
transferee, assignee, sublessee, or mortgagee in each instance, as the case 
may be; and each transferee, assignee, sublessee, or mortgagee shall agree 
in writing for the benefit of the Landlord to assume, to be bound by, and to 
perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept 
and performed by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to 
become due under this Lease directly to the Landlord.

          12.3  Intentionally omitted.

     13.  REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

          13.1  Tenant agrees at all times, from and after Tenant taking 
possession of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2.1, and 
at Tenant's own cost and expense, to repair, replace and maintain in good and 
tenantable condition the Premises and every part thereof (except that portion 
of the Premises to be maintained by Landlord as hereinafter provided), and 
including without limitation all such items of repair, maintenance, 
alteration and improvement or reconstruction as may at any time or from time 
to time be required by a governmental agency having jurisdiction thereof. All 
glass, both exterior and interior, is the sole risk of Tenant, and any glass 
broken shall be promptly replaced by Tenant with glass of the same kind, size 
and quality. Subject to the foregoing provisions hereof, Landlord shall keep 
and maintain in good and tenantable condition and repair, the roof, exterior 
walls, structural parts of the Premises and structural floor, pipes and 
conduits outside the Premises for the furnishing to the Premises of various 
utilities (except to the extent that the same are the

                                     -12-


obligation of the appropriate public utility company); provided, however, 
that Landlord shall not be required to make repairs necessitated by reason 
of the negligence of Tenant or anyone claiming under the Tenant, or by reason 
of the failure of the Tenant to perform or observe any covenants, conditions 
or agreements in this Lease contained, or caused by any alterations, 
additions or improvements made by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant. 
Anything to the contrary contained in this Lease notwithstanding, Landlord 
shall not in any way be liable to Tenant for failure to make repairs as 
herein specifically required of Landlord unless Tenant has previously 
notified Landlord, in writing, of the need for such repairs and Landlord has 
failed to commence and complete said repairs within a reasonable period of 
time following receipt of Tenant's written notification. It is understood and 
agreed that Landlord shall be under no obligation to make any repairs, 
alterations, renewals, replacements or improvements to and upon the Premises 
or the mechanical equipment exclusively serving the Premises at any time 
except as in this Lease expressly provided. As used in this Section 13 the 
expression "exterior walls" shall not be deemed to include plate glass, 
window cases or window frames, doors or door frames, security grilles or 
similar enclosures.

          13.2  Upon any surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall redeliver 
the Premises to Landlord in good order, condition and state of repair, 
ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted.

          13.3  Tenant further covenants and agrees that Landlord may enter 
upon the Premises at all reasonable times after giving reasonable notice 
to Tenant, and make any necessary repairs to the Premises and perform any work 
therein (i) which may be necessary to comply with any laws, ordinances, rules 
or regulations of any public authority or of the Insurance Service Office or 
of any similar body if Tenant fails to perform such work or (ii) that Landlord 
may deem necessary to prevent waste or deterioration in connection with the 
Premises if Tenant does not make or cause such repairs to be made or 
performed promptly after receipt of written demand from Landlord or (iii) 
that Landlord may deem necessary to perform construction work incidental to 
any portion of the Building adjacent to, above, or below the Premises. 
Nothing herein contained shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do 
any such work which under any provision of this Lease Tenant may be required 
to do, nor shall it constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to do 
the same. All entries by Landlord upon the Premises shall be in a reasonable 
manner, so as not to unreasonably interfere with or inconvenience Tenant in 
the conduct of its business. No exercise by Landlord of any rights herein 
reserved shall entitle Tenant to any damage for any injury or inconvenience 
occasioned thereby unless caused by the landlord's intentional or negligent 
act or omission nor to any abatement of rent. Tenant shall pay the cost of 
any work Landlord performs which is Tenant's responsibility, together with 
interest thereon at the maximum rate permitted by law, to Landlord as 
additional rent within five (5) days after receipt of a bill therefor.

          13.4  Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to 
property entrusted to employees of the Building (if any), nor for loss or 
damage to any property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage 
to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, 
steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the 
Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the 
roof, street or subsurface or from any other place resulting from dampness or 
any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of 
Landlord,


                                     -13-


its agents, servants, or employees. Landlord and Landlord's agents shall not 
be liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal hereditaments 
or for loss of business by Tenant. Tenant shall give prompt notice to 
Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of 
defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment. Tenant, as a material part 
of the consideration for this Lease, hereby assumes all risk or damage to 
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises, from any cause 
other than Landlord's negligence, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in 
respect thereof against Landlord.

     14.  RECONSTRUCTION.

          14.1  In the event the Premises be damaged by fire or other perils 
covered by Landlord's insurance to be carried hereunder, Landlord shall; (i) 
Within a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, complete repair, 
reconstruction and restoration of the Premises in which event this Lease 
shall continue in full force and effect; or (ii) In the event of a partial or 
total destruction of the Premium during the last six (6) months of the lease 
term Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon the giving of 
written notice to Tenant of exercise of such option within thirty (30) days 
after such destruction. For purposes of this subparagraph "partial 
destruction" shall be deemed a destruction to an extent of at least fifty 
(50%) of the full replacement cost of the Premises or the Building as of the 
date of destruction.

          14.2  In the event the Premises or the Building shall be damaged as 
a result of any flood, earthquake, act of war, nuclear reaction, nuclear 
radiation or radioactive contamination, or from any other casualty not 
covered by Landlord's insurance to be carried hereunder, to any extent 
whatsoever, Landlord may within thirty (30) days following the date of such 
damage, commence repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Premises and 
prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall 
continue in full force and effect if Landlord completes such repairs within 
ninety (90) days of such casualty, or within said thirty (30) day period 
Landlord may elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises, in


                                     -14-


which event this Lease shall cease and terminate. In either such event 
Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within said thirty 
(30) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless such uninsured 
casualty occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the lease term, 
Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to repair, 
reconstruct or rebuild the Building shell and appurtenances provided Tenant 
completes such repair and restoration within nine (9) months of the date of 
casualty. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the exercise of such 
right within 15 days after the occurrence of such uninsured casualty, and 
thereafter commence such reconstruction within ninety (90) days following 
such damage and complete the work within the aforesaid nine (9) month period, 
in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Landlord 
shall not be liable for any expense whatsoever in connection with such work 
by Tenant unless Landlord requests any changes to the work of restoration and 
agrees in writing with Tenant to bear the cost and expense of such requested 
change. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless 
from any and all liability, cost and expense in connection with such repair 
or reconstruction by Tenant.

          14.3  In the event of any reconstruction of the Premises under this 
Section 14, said reconstruction shall be in conformity with the plans and 
specifications prepared by Landlord's architect and Tenant's plans and 
specifications approved by Landlord. All reconstruction work shall be 
performed by Landlord's contractor unless Landlord shall otherwise agree in 
writing. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the 
repair and replacement of its equipment, trade fixtures, furniture and 
furnishings. Tenant shall commence such installation of fixtures, equipment 
of the Premises and shall commence such installation of fixtures, equipment 
of the Premises and shall diligently prosecute such installation to 
completion upon substantial completion of any work by Landlord.

          14.4  If there is a destruction to the Building and other 
improvements that exceeds fifty (50) percent of the then replacement value 
thereof from any risk, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease whether or 
not the Premises are affected by such destruction, so long as Landlord 
terminates the leases of all tenants in the Building.

          14.5  Upon any termination of the Lease under any of the provisions 
of this Section 14, the parties shall be released thereby without further 
obligations to the other party coincident with the surrender of possession of 
the Premises to Landlord, except for items which have theretofore accrued and 
be then unpaid. In the event of termination, all proceeds from Tenant's fire 
and extended coverage insurance covering Tenant's leasehold improvements (but 
excluding proceeds for equipment, trade fixtures, merchandise, signs and 
other personal property permitted to be removed by Tenant pursuant to 
Paragraph 11.1) shall be disbursed and paid to Landlord.

          14.6  In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration as 
herein provided, Tenant shall continue the operation of its business on the 
Premises to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent 
business management, and the obligation of Tenant hereunder to pay rental and 
Direct Expenses shall be equitably abated. Tenant shall not be entitled to 
any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or 
any part of the Premises or the Building or for Tenant's personal property, 
or any inconvenience or

                                      -15-


annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

          14.7  Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights, of termination 
which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Premises 
or the Building which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under 
any of the provisions of this Lease.

     15.  COMMON AREAS.  The Premises are part of a Building, and the 
following provisions shall govern common areas therein:

          15.1  The term "common areas" refers to all areas within the 
exterior boundaries of the Building which are now or hereafter made available 
for general use, convenience and benefit of Landlord and other persons 
entitled to occupy floor area in the Building, including any lobbies or 
hallways, automobile parking areas, parking structures, if any, driveways, 
sidewalks, landscaped and planted areas, if any. Tenant and its invitees are, 
except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, authorized, 
empowered and privileged to use the common areas in common with other persons 
during the lease term. Landlord shall at all times have the right and 
privilege of determining the nature and extent of the common areas, whether 
the same shall be surface or underground, and of making such changes therein 
and thereto from time to time which in Landlord's opinion are deemed to be 
desirable and for the best interest of all persons using said common areas, 
including the location and relocation of doorways, driveways, entrances, 
exits, automobile parking spaces, if any, the direction and flow of traffic, 
installation of prohibited areas, landscaped areas, if any, and all other 
facilities thereof. Nothing contained therein shall be deemed to create any 
liability upon Landlord for any damage to motor vehicles of customers or 
employees or for loss of property within such motor vehicles, unless caused 
by the intentional or negligent act or omission of Landlord, its agents, 
servants or employees.

          15.2  Landlord shall also have the right to establish, and from 
time to time change, alter or amend, and to enforce against Tenant and the 
other users of the common areas such reasonable rules and regulations 
(including the exclusion of employees' parking therefrom) as Landlord may 
deem necessary or advisable for the proper and efficient operation and 
maintenance of said common areas. The rules and regulations herein provided 
may include, without limitation, the hours during which the common areas 
shall be open for use. Landlord shall at all times during the term of this 
Lease have the sole and exclusive control of the common areas. The rights of 
Tenant hereunder in and to the common areas shall at all times by subject to 
the rights of Landlord and the other tenants of Landlord to use the same in 
common with Tenant. It shall be the duty of Tenant to keep all common areas 
free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or 
resulting from Tenant's operation and to permit the use of any common areas 
only for normal ingress and parking, if any is provided, by clients, 
customers, patrons and service suppliers to and from the Building occupied by 
Tenant and the other tenants of Landlord. It is understood that Tenant and 
employees of Tenant and the other tenants of Landlord within the Building 
shall not be permitted to park their automobiles in the automobile parking 
areas, if any, of the common areas which may from time to time be designated 
for patrons of the Building unless specifically authorized by Landlord in 
writing. Landlord shall at all times have the right to designate the 
particular parking area


                                      -16-


to be used by any or all of Tenant's employees and any such designation may 
be changed from time to time. Tenant and its employees shall park their 
vehicles only in those portions of the parking areas, if any, designated for 
that purpose by Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a list of 
Tenant's and Tenant's employees' vehicle license numbers from time to time at 
Landlord's request. If Tenant or its employees fail to park their cars in 
designated areas, or fail to abide by Landlord's Rules, Landlord may 
terminate such employees' parking privileges. Landlord's initial Rules under 
this Section 15 are attached hereto as Exhibit E.

          15.3  Nothing in this Section 15 shall imply any obligation on the 
part of Landlord to establish any common areas other than those existing on 
the date of this Lease.

     16.  OTHER RULES AND REGULATIONS.  In addition to the rules and 
regulations permitted to be promulgated by Landlord with respect to the 
common areas, Landlord may, from time to time, prescribe other reasonable 
rules and regulations regarding the general operation and functioning of the 
Building. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with such other rules 
and regulations as Landlord shall from time to time promulgate. Such rules 
and additions and modifications thereto shall be binding upon Tenant upon 
delivery of copies thereof to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall 
not be responsible to Tenant for nonperformance of Landlord's rules by any 
other tenants or occupants, but Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to 
enforce such Rules upon written notice or request therefor from Tenant or 
after receipt of actual notice by Landlord of the nonperformance of such 
rules. Landlord's initial Rules under this Paragraph 16 are attached hereto 
as Exhibit F. Landlord shall not waive the observance of such Rules by other 
Tenants of the Building if, in Landlord's reasonable judgement, such waiver 
would have an adverse effect on Tenant in the conduct of its business.

     17.  ENTRY BY LANDLORD.  Landlord shall have the right to enter the 
Premises (other than Tenant's vault, file room and other secured areas) to 
inspect the same, to submit the Premises to prospective purchasers or 
tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, to exercise Landlord's rights 
under Paragraph 13.3, or for the purpose of running conduits through the 
space between the dropped ceiling and the floor of the Building immediately 
above the Premises for Landlord's purposes in furnishing and maintaining 
services, utilities and the like to the Building (including but not limited 
to air-conditioning, electrical services, plumbing lines and sprinkler 
systems). If the Premises have no dropped ceilings, Landlord may install such 
conduits provided they shall not unreasonably detract from the character of 
the Premises and they shall be installed only above ten (10) feet from the 
floor level of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have 
such right to run conduits whether or not of direct benefit to the Premises. 
All such entries shall be at reasonable times, after giving reasonable notice 
to Tenant, and shall be performed in a reasonable manner. No such entry shall 
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's conduct of its business on the Premises 
or unreasonably inconvenience Tenant. Further, with respect to the running of 
conduits through the Premises, such conduits shall not interfere or conflict 
with Tenant's own conduits installed from time to time in the Premises. 
Landlord shall further be responsible for any damage to the Premises or to 
Tenant's property located there or to Tenant or its employees or visitors due 
to leaks, defective workmanship or otherwise resulting from any such


                                      -17-



installation or location of such conduits in the Premises. Notwithstanding 
Landlord's right to enter, Landlord shall not have or retain a key to the 
Premises or to any portion thereof, and Landlord may use any and all proper 
and reasonable means to open doors to the Premises in an emergency in order 
to gain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant except for any 
failure to exercise due care with regard to Tenant's property.

     18.  BANKRUPTCY-INSOLVENCY.  Tenant agrees that, to the extent permitted 
by law, in the event all or substantially all of Tenant's assets be placed in 
the hands of a receiver or trustee and such receivership or trusteeship 
continues for a period of thirty (30) days, or should Tenant make an 
assignment for the benefit of creditors or be finally adjudicated a bankrupt, 
or should Tenant institute any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act as the 
same now exists or under any amendment thereof which may hereafter be 
enacted, or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein 
Tenant seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or to be discharged of its debts, 
or to effect a plan of liquidation, composition or reorganization or should 
any involuntary proceeding be filed against Tenant under any such bankruptcy 
laws and such proceeding not be removed within ninety (90) days thereafter, 
then this Lease or any interest of Tenant in and to the Premises shall not 
become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such events and in 
addition to any and all rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder or by law 
provided, it shall be lawful for Landlord to declare the term hereof ended 
and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all 
persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or 
hereunder. The provisions of this Section 18 shall also apply to any 
guarantor of this Lease as if such guarantor were the Tenant.

     19.  DEFAULT BY TENANT.

          19.1  Should Tenant at any time be in default hereunder with 
respect to any rental or Direct Expenses payments or other charges payable by 
Tenant hereunder, and should such default continue for a period of ten (10) 
business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; or should Tenant 
be in default in the prompt and full performance of any other of its 
promises, covenants or agreements herein contained and should such default or 
breach of performance continue for more than a reasonable time (not exceeding 
thirty (30) days) after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant 
specifying the particulars of such default or breach of performance; or 
should Tenant vacate or abandon the Premises; then Landlord may treat the 
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a breach of this 
Lease, and in addition to any or all other rights or remedies of Landlord 
hereunder and by the law provided, it shall be, at the option of Landlord, 
without further notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person: 
(a) the right of Landlord to terminate this Lease and declare the lease term 
ended and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all 
persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or 
thereunder; or (b) the right


                                       -18-


of Landlord without declaring this Lease ended, to reenter the Premises and 
occupy the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and to 
collect said rent and any other rent that may thereafter become payable; and 
(c) the right of Landlord, even though Landlord may have reentered the 
Premises on account of Tenant, to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease 
and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises.

          19.2  Should Landlord have reentered the Premises under the 
provisions of subparagraph (b) of Paragraph 19.1, Landlord shall not be 
deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay rent 
thereafter to accrue or Tenant's liability for damages under any of the 
provisions hereof, by any such reentry or by any action in unlawful detainer 
or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises, unless Landlord shall 
have notified Tenant in writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate 
this Lease. Tenant covenants that the service by Landlord of any notice 
pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the state in which the Premises 
are located and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not 
be deemed to be a termination of this Lease (unless Landlord elects to the 
contrary at the time of or at any time subsequent to the serving of such 
notices and such election be evidenced by a written notice to Tenant). In the 
event of any entry or taking possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord 
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove therefrom all or any 
part of the personal property located therein and may place the same in 
storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of the owner or owners 
thereof.

          19.3  Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the 
provisions of subparagraphs (a) or (c) of Paragraph 19.1, Landlord may 
recover from Tenant as damages: (i) the worth at the time of award of any 
unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) 
the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which 
would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the 
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably 
avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the 
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the 
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; 
plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the 
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations 
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely 
to result therefrom, including but not limited to any costs or expenses 
incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such 
default, preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, any repairs or 
alterations to the Premises for such reletting, leasing commissions, or any 
other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (v) at 
Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the 
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of 
California. As used in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of 
award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten (10) percent 
per annum. As used in clause (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" 
shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the 
Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the location of the Building at the 
time of award plus one percent (1%).

          19.4  For all purposes of this Section 19, the term "rent" shall be 
deemed to be the monthly rental, Tenant's share of Direct Expenses, and all 
other sums required to be paid by


                                       -19-


Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. All such sums, other than the 
monthly rental, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount 
thereof accruing during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, 
except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before such twelve 
(12) month period has occurred then on the basis of the average monthly 
amount thereof accruing during such shorter period.

          19.5  In the event of default, all the Tenant's fixtures, 
equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property 
shall remain on the Premises and in that event, and continuing during the 
length of said default, Landlord shall have the right to take exclusion 
possession of same and to use same, rent or charge free, until all defaults 
are cured or, at Landlord's option, at any time during the term of this 
Lease, to require Tenant to forthwith remove the same.

          19.6  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 19, 
Landlord agrees that if the default complained of, other than for payment of 
money, is of such a nature that the same cannot be rectified or cured within 
the thirty (30) day period requiring such rectification or curing as 
specified in the written notice relating thereto, then such default shall be 
deemed to be rectified or cured if Tenant within such period of thirty (30) 
days shall have commenced the rectification and curing thereof and shall 
continue thereafter with all due diligence to cause such rectification and 
curing and does so complete the same with the use of such diligence.

          19.7  The remedies given to Landlord in this Section 19 shall be in 
addition and supplemental to all other rights or remedies which Landlord may 
have under the laws then in force. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of 
any term, covenant or condition herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of 
such term, covenant or condition. The subsequent acceptance of rent by 
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant 
of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of 
Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's 
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No 
covenant, term, or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been 
waived by Landlord unless such waiver be in writing.

     20.  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.  If the Premises or any part thereof are at 
any time subject to a first mortgage or a first deed of trust and this Lease 
or the rentals due from Tenant hereunder are assigned to such mortgagee, 
trustee or beneficiary (called Assignee for purposes of this Section 20 only) 
and Tenant is given written notice thereof, including the post office address 
of such Assignee, then Tenant shall give written notice to such Assignee, 
specifying the default in reasonable detail, and affording such Assignee a 
reasonable opportunity to make performance for and on behalf of Landlord. If 
and when the said Assignee has made performance on behalf of Landlord, such 
default shall be deemed cured. Assignee shall effect such performance within 
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, unless the default 
complained of is of a nature that cannot be rectified or cured within 
30 days; and in such event such default shall be deemed rectified or cured if 
Assignee commences such rectification or cure within the 30-day period and 
continues thereafter with due diligence to cause such rectification or cure 
and completes the same with the use of due diligence.


                                       -20-


     21.  EMINENT DOMAIN.

          21.1  In the event the entire Premises shall be appropriated or 
taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public 
authority, this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date of such 
taking, and Tenant shall thereupon be released from any liability thereafter 
accruing hereunder. In the event more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the 
square footage of floor area of the Premises is taken under the power of 
eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, or if by reason of 
any appropriation or taking, regardless of the amount so taken, the remainder 
of the Premises is not one undivided parcel of property, either Landlord or 
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date Tenant is 
required to vacate a portion of the Premises upon giving notice in writing of 
such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice that 
the Premises have been so appropriated or taken. In the event more than 25% 
of the Building be taken under such power, Landlord shall have the option to 
terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant, 
provided that Landlord terminates all other leases of the Building. In the 
event of such termination, both Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be 
released from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder. If this Lease is 
terminated as hereinabove provided, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire 
award or compensation in such proceedings, except as set forth in Paragraph 
21.4, but the rent and other charges for the last month of Tenant's occupancy 
shall be prorated and Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any rent or other 
charges paid in advance. Tenant's right to receive compensation or damages as 
set forth in Paragraph 21.4, shall not be affected in any manner by this 
Paragraph 21.1.

          21.2  If both Landlord and Tenant elect not to so terminate this 
Lease, Tenant shall remain in that portion of the Premises which shall not 
have been appropriated or taken as herein provided, or in the event less than 
twenty-five percent (25%) of the square footage of floor area of the Premises 
shall be appropriated under the power of eminent domain by any public or 
quasi-public authority, and the remainder thereof is an undivided parcel of 
property, then in any such event Landlord agrees, at Landlord's cost and 
expense, as soon as reasonably possible to restore the Premises on the land 
remaining to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior 
to such appropriation or taking; and thereafter the monthly rental provided 
for in Section 3 shall be reduced by a notice in writing from Landlord to 
Tenant on an equitable basis; and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the 
total award or compensation in such proceedings except as set forth in 
Paragraph 21.4.

          21.3  For the purpose of this Section 21, a voluntary sale or 
conveyance in lieu of condemnation, but under threat of condemnation, shall 
be deemed an appropriation or taking under the power of eminent domain.

          21.4  In the event of any taking, Tenant shall be entitled to 
compensation for its property, any damages for severance or interruption of 
its business, moving expenses, bonus value of the remaining lease term, and 
any other compensation rightfully belonging to Tenant, except that Landlord 
shall have no obligation to pursue the same with any condemning authority.

     22.  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event that either Landlord or Tenant shall 
institute any action or proceeding against the other relating to the 
provisions of this Lease, or any default


                                       -21-


hereunder, then, and in that event, the unsuccessful party in such action or 
proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable 
expenses of attorney's fees incurred therein by the successful party.

     23.  AUTHORITY OF PARTIES.

          23.1  CORPORATE AUTHORITY.  If either party is a corporation, each 
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and 
warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease 
on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution 
of the board of directors or in accordance with the by-laws of said 
corporation; that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance 
with its terms; that said party is a duly qualified corporation and all steps 
have been taken prior to the date hereof to qualify said party to do business 
in the State in which the Premises are situated if said party is a foreign 
corporation; that all franchise and corporate taxes have been paid to date; 
and that all future forms, reports, fees and other documents necessary to 
comply with applicable laws will be filed when due.

     24.  SALE OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD.  In the event of any sale or exchange 
of the Premises by Landlord and assignment by Landlord of this Lease, 
Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability 
under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived 
from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to 
the Premises accruing after the consummation of such sale or exchange and 
assignment, provided such purchaser or assignee shall expressly assume said 
covenants and obligations of Landlord, Landlord may deliver the funds 
deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord's interest in the 
Premises in the event that such interest be sold and thereupon Landlord shall 
be discharged from any further liability with respect to such deposit. This 
provision shall also apply to any subsequent transferees.

     25.  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.  Upon request of Landlord or any 
mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord, Tenant will in writing subordinate its 
rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or 
hereafter in force against the land and Building and upon any buildings 
hereafter placed upon the land of which the Premises are a part, and to all 
advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. In the event 
any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise 
of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord 
covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such 
foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this 
Lease, provided that in no event shall Tenant's possession be disturbed if 
Tenant is not in default under this Lease, and any such written subordination 
shall so provide. Within ten (10) days after written request therefor by 
Landlord, or in the event that upon any sale, assignment or hypothecation of 
the Premises or the land thereunder by Landlord, an offset statement shall


                                       -22-


be required from Tenant, Tenant agrees to deliver in recordable form a 
certificate in form satisfactory to Landlord addressed to any such proposed 
mortgagee or purchaser or to Landlord certifying, among other usual 
provisions, that this Lease is in full force and effect (if such be the case) 
and that there are no defenses or offsets thereto or stating those claimed by 
Tenant.

     26.  QUIET POSSESSION AND RELOCATION.

          26.1  Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the rent and 
performing the covenants and conditions of this Lease, may quietly have, hold 
and enjoy the Premises during the lease term.

          26.2  Intentionally omitted.

     27.  HOLDING OVER.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or 
any part thereof after the expiration of the lease term, without the express 
written consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall be deemed a tenancy from 
month to month at a rental which is one-hundred twelve and 1/2 percent 
(112.5%) of the amount of the last monthly rental hereunder plus all other 
charges payable hereunder, during which Tenant covenants that Tenant will 
faithfully observe each and every other term and provision of this Lease.

     28.  CONSENT OF LANDLORD AND TENANT.  Wherever in this Lease Landlord or 
Tenant is required to give its consent or approval to any action on the part 
of the other, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or 
delayed. In the event of failure to give any such consent, the other party 
shall be entitled to specific performance at law and shall have such other 
remedies as are reserved to it under this Lease or at law.

     29.  OBLIGATIONS OF SUCCESSORS.  The parties hereto agree that all the 
provisions of this Lease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as 
though the words imparting such covenants and agreements were used in each 
separate paragraph hereof, and, subject to the provisions of Section 12, that 
all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the 
parties hereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors 
and assigns.

     30.  NOTICES.  Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted 
that notice or demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or 
on the other, such notice or demand shall be given or served, and shall not 
be deemed to have been duly given or served unless in writing and personally 
delivered to or forwarded by certified or registered mail, addressed to the 
addresses of the parties specified on page one of this Lease. Either party 
may change such address by written notice by certified or registered mail to 
the other. If a notice hereunder is mailed, service shall be deemed complete 
three (3) days after the date of mailing.

     31.  CAPTIONS AND TERMS.  The captions of Sections and Paragraphs of 
this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease and do not 
in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Lease. Except as 
otherwise specifically stated in this Lease, "the lease term" shall include 
the original term and any extension, renewal or holdover thereof. If more 
than one person or corporation is named as Landlord or Tenant in this Lease 
and executes the same as such, then and in such event, the words "Landlord" 
or "Tenant" wherever is used in this Lease are intended to refer to all such 
persons or corpor-


                                       -23-


ations, and the liability of such persons or corporations for compliance with 
and performance of all the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease 
shall be joint and several except as provided in Paragraph 23.2 hereof. The 
neuter pronoun used herein shall include the feminine and the masculine as 
the case may be, and the use of the singular shall include the plural.

     32.  Intentionally omitted

     33.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          33.1  It is agreed that nothing contained in this Lease shall be 
deemed or construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between 
Landlord and Tenant or between Landlord and any other party, or cause 
Landlord to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of Tenant 
or any other party.

          33.2  It is agreed that if any provision of this Lease shall be 
determined to be void or unenforceable by any court of competent 
jurisdiction, then such determination shall not affect any other provision of 
this Lease and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and 
effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of 
this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the 
provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then 
the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

          33.3  It is understood that there are no oral agreements between 
the parties affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any 
and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and 
understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord 
to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall 
be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease cannot be amended or 
modified except by a written instrument.

          33.4  Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other 
tenancies in the Building as Landlord, in the exercise of its sole business 
judgment, shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building. 
Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any 
specific tenant or number of tenants shall occupy any space in the Building 
during the lease term.

          33.5  The laws of the State in which the Premises are situated 
shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease. Although 
the provisions of this Lease were drawn by Landlord, this Lease shall not be 
construed either for or against Landlord or Tenant, and shall be interpreted 
in


                                     -24-


accordance with the general tenor of the language in an effort to reach an 
equitable result.

          33.6  A waiver of any breach or default shall not be waiver of any 
other breach or default. Landlord's consent to, or approval of, any act by 
Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive 
or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent 
similar act by Tenant.

          33.7  Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, 
labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or 
reasonable substitutes thereof, governmental restrictions, governmental 
regulations, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile 
governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other 
causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, shall 
excuse the performance by such party of a period equal to any such 
prevention, delay or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to 
rental and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

          33.8  Tenant hereby acknowledges the late payment by Tenant to 
Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur 
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be 
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, 
processing and accounting charges, clerical costs and late charges which may 
be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the 
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or of any other sums due 
from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within 
three (3) days after written notice that said amount is past due, then Tenant 
shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such 
overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a 
fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord might incur by reason 
of the late payment preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such 
rent.

          33.9  Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of 
redemption granted to or under any present or future laws in the event of 
Tenant being evicted or dispossessed from any cause, or in the event of 
Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by 
Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or otherwise.

          33.10  Tenant shall not place any sign upon the Premises or 
Building without Landlord's prior written consent and approval. Tenant 
represents that it intends initially to use the name "Scripps Bank." The 
Building will be named "Scripps Bank Building," with exterior identification 
signs on the building parapets, above the garage entry, and at the main 
customer and tenant entries to the Building. Tenant shall have the right, in 
its absolute and unfettered discretion, from time to time to change the name 
under which it operates. The Building shall bear Tenant's name so long as 
Tenant is not in default hereunder and is operating from the Premises as a 
bank or savings and loan association or holding company thereof or any 
subsidiary of a holding company; and Tenant may use the Building name in 
connection with its promotion and advertising of its business so long as the 
Building bears Tenant's name. In the event of such name change by Tenant, 
Landlord shall cause all signs within Landlord's control located on or near 
the Building to be changed to reflect Tenant's new name, all at Tenant's cost 
and expense. Tenant shall further reimburse Landlord for all other costs 
reasonably incurred by Landlord in


                                     -25-


connection with such name change. All said signs shall conform in all 
respects with all sign ordinances of the City of San Diego and with

                          SIXTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This Sixth Amendment To Lease is made as of April 24, 1992, by and between 
LJI, Inc., a California corporation ("Landlord") and Scripps Bank ("Tenant") 
with respect to that certain Office Lease dated September 1, 1983 and 
Amendments 1 through 5 thereto (the "Lease").  Landlord and Tenant hereby 
amend the Lease as follows:

1.  PARAGRAPH 2.2.  Tenant hereby exercises its options to renew this lease 
for two five (5) year terms, and Landlord hereby accepts the renewal term 
without further written notification as provided in Paragraph 2.2.(ii) with 
respect to the time of notification.  The lease, as extended, shall expire on 
January 31, 2004, unless further extended under the terms hereof.

2.  PARAGRAPH 3.1.  The minimum monthly rent payable during this renewal 
period shall be $29,650.48, effective as of March 1, 1992.

3.  PARAGRAPH 3.2.  The minimum monthly rent provided for herein shall be 
subject to adjustment upward or downward at the commencement of the 
thirty-seventh (37th) month of this renewal term and every thirty-sixth month 
period  thereafter during this renewal term (the "adjustment date") as 
follows:  The base for computing the adjustment is the Consumer Price Index 
for All Urban Consumers for the San Diego Area (1967=100), published by the 
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index") 
published for December, 1991 ("Beginning Index").  The Index published for 
December preceding the Adjustment Date in question ("Extension Index") is to 
be used in determining the amount of the adjustment.  The monthly rent for 
the following 36 month period commencing on the adjustment date shall be set 
by multiplying the minimum monthly rent set forth in Paragraph 3.1 amended 
above by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Extension Index, and the 
denominator of which is the beginning index.  In no case shall the monthly 
rent be less than the minimum monthly rent set forth above, nor shall the 
monthly rent so calculated reflect more than a four (4%) per cent annual 
increase, non-compounded.  On adjustment of the monthly rent as provided 
herein, the Parties shall immediately execute a writing or amendment to this 
Lease stating the new monthly rent.  If the Index is changed so that the base 
year differs from that which is in effect when the lease renewal commenced, 
the Index shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor 
published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor 
Statistics.  If the Index is discontinued or revised during the lease renewal 
term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced 
shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be 
obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised.  If not replaced, 
the parties shall select another similar index which reflects similar 
consumer price levels, and if the parties cannot agree on another such index 
it shall be determined by binding arbitration, the cost of which shall be 
borne equally by the parties.

4.   PARAGRAPH 3.4.  In no event shall Tenant be responsible for Direct 
Expenses in excess of $.40 per month per square foot of leased space shown on 
Exhibit "A" to the lease.

5.   SUITE 205.  Tenant hereby leases Suite 205 (comprising 928 square feet 
of space) commencing July 1, 1992, and ending upon expiration of the term of 
this Lease, as amended.  No rent will be payable until July 1, 1994.  
Thereafter, the minimum monthly rent payable hereunder shall be increased by 
$1,392.00 per month.  Direct expenses shall be payable as provided in 
Paragraph 3.3 of the Lease, as amended hereby, commencing July 1, 1994.



6.   Tenant is hereby granted the right to extend this Lease, as amended, for 
four periods of five (5) years each, each to be exercised as provided in 
Paragraph 2.2 of the Lease.

7.   Tenant is granted twenty (20) monthly parking passes without charge each 
month.  Tenant shall be allowed to purchase additional monthly parking passes 
at the usual current rate.

8.   Exhibit "A" to the Lease is amended to include Suite 100 (all of the 
first floor, except the public corridor), Suite 201, Suite 204, 204A, 205 and 
Suite 302.  The first right of refusal provided for in said Exhibit "A" is 
amended by deleting the words "on the third floor of", and substituting 
therefor "in", so that the first right of refusal extends to any unleased 
space in the Building.

9.   Except as specifically amended hereby, the Lease remains in full force 
and effect.

Re: Amendment to Scripps Bank lease re Suite 302

Dear Ms. Cox:

I was pleased to learn that the Bank had decided to accept my proposal to 
change the wall between our Suite 300 and the Trust Department space in Suite 
302 which will result in reducing the square footage of the Trust Department 
office by 16 square feet.

LJI, Inc. will pay the entire cost of moving the wall and restoring the 
wall, and floor coverings in the affected area.

Enclosed is a 9th Amendment to Lease dated as of April 8, 1999 to memorialize 
our agreement.

I appreciate your cooperation and flexibility in this matter.

Very truly yours

          SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT


      THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of _____________________________, 
1984, between SCRIPPS BANK, a California banking corporation whose address is 
7817 Ivanhoe Avenue, La Jolla, California ("Tenant"), and OLD STONE BANK, a 
Rhode Island banking corporation, whose address is 180 South Main Street, 
Providence, Rhode Island 02903 ("Lender") and OKLAHOMA CITY INVESTMENT GROUP, 
a general partnership, whose address is 3950 Sorrento Valley Blvd., San 
Diego, CA ("Borrower"), with reference to the following facts:

       A.  Tenant is the lessee under that certain lease (the "Lease") dated 
SEPTEMBER 1, 1983 by and between Oklahoma City Investment Group as lessor, 
and Tenant, as lessee, covering a portion of the property commonly known as 
7817 Ivanhoe Avenue, La Jolla, California 92037 and which premises are more 
fully described in the Lease (the "Premises").

       B.  Oklahoma City Investment Group, a general partnership, 
("Borrower"), has requested Lender to make to Borrower a loan to be secured 
by a deed of trust from Borrower to Lender (the "Deed of Trust") covering 
certain property wherein the Premises covered by the Lease are located.

       C.  Lender is willing to make the requested mortgage loan, provided 
the Tenant executes this Agreement.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and 
agreements herein contained, and in order to induce Lender to make the 
requested mortgage loan, Tenant and Lender hereby agree and covenant as 
follows:

       1.  SUBORDINATION.  The Lease and the lien thereof are, and shall at 
all times continue to be, subject and subordinate in all respects to the Deed 
of Trust and to all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof.

       2.  NONDISTURBANCE. Any of the foregoing notwithstanding, if the 
interests of Borrower in the Premises shall be acquired by Lender by reason of 
foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or other proceedings brought to enforce the 
rights of the beneficiary of the Deed of Trust, by deed in lieu of 
foreclosure or by any other method, or acquired by any other purchaser or 
purchasers pursuant to a foreclosure sale (Lender or such purchaser(s), as 
the case may be, being referred to as "Purchaser"), the Lease and the rights 
of Tenant thereunder


                                      -1-



shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated or 
disturbed except in accordance with the terms of the Lease; and Tenant shall 
be bound to Purchaser under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the 
Lease, for the balance of the term thereof remaining, and any extensions or 
renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor 
contained in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Purchaser were 
the lessor under the Lease provided:

                (a)  Tenant is not in default under any provision of the 
Lease or this Agreement at the time Lender exercises any such right, remedy, 
or privilege; and

                (b)  The Lease at that time is in force and effect according 
to its original terms, or with such amendments or modifications as Lender 
shall have approved, as provided below; and

                (c)  Tenant thereafter continues to fully and punctually 
perform all of its obligations under the Lease without default thereunder; and

                (d)  Tenant attorns to Purchaser as provided below.

          3.  ATTORNMENT.  Tenant does hereby attorn to Purchaser as its 
lessor, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the 
execution of any other instruments on the part of either party hereto 
immediately upon Purchaser's succeeding to the interest of Borrower under 
the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice to Tenant, 
Tenant shall execute any instrument required by Purchaser to evidence said 
attornment. Upon Purchaser's succeeding to the interest of Borrower in the 
Premises, the respective rights and obligations of Tenant and the Purchaser, 
to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease and any 
extensions or renewals, shall be and are the same as now set forth in the 
Lease, it being the intention of the parties hereto for this purpose to 
incorporate the Lease into this Agreement by reference with the same force 
and effect as if set forth at length herein. Any of the foregoing 
notwithstanding, upon Purchaser's succeeding to the interest of Borrower in 
the Premises, Purchaser shall not be:

                (a)  Liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord 
(including Borrower); or

                (b)  Subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might 
have against any prior landlord (including Borrower); or

                (c)  Bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might 
have paid for more than the then current month and/or the month immediately 
following the then current month to any prior Landlord (including Borrower); 
or

                (d)  Bound by any agreement or modification of the Lease made 
without Lender's written consent; or

                (e)  Bound by any notice given by Tenant to any prior 
landlord (including Borrower), whether or not such notice


                                      -2-



is given pursuant to the terms of the Lease, unless a copy thereof was also 
given to Lender; or

                (f)  Liable for any security deposit or other sums held by 
any prior landlord (including Borrower) unless the same was actually 
received by Lender.

                The person or entity to whom Tenant attorns shall be liable 
to Tenant under the Lease only during such person or entity's period of 
ownership, and such liability shall not continue or survive as to the 
transferor after a transfer by such person or entity of its interest in the 
Lease and the Premises.

          4.   CURE.  Tenant shall mail to Lender or any assignee of Lender's 
interest under the Deed of Trust at the address set forth above for Lender, 
or at any other address specified in writing to Tenant, a copy of any notice 
of default which Tenant elects to serve upon Borrower as a result of any 
default by Borrower in the performance of Borrower's obligations under the 
Lease. Lender or any assignee of Lender's interest under the Deed of Trust 
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by Borrower 
under the Lease within the same grace period as is given Borrower for 
remedying such default, plus, in each case, an additional period of thirty 
(30) days after the later of (i) the expiration of such grace period, or (ii) 
the date Tenant has served notice of such default upon Lender or any assignee 
of Lender's interest under the Deed of Trust. If Lender's cure of the default 
requires Lender to obtain possession of the Premises, the thirty day period 
specified above shall not commence until Lender acquires possession, so long 
as Lender proceeds promptly to acquire possession of the Premises with due 
diligence, by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or otherwise.

         Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require Lender to commence 
or continue any foreclosure or other proceedings, or, if Lender acquires 
possession of the Premises, to continue such possession, if all defaults 
specified by Tenant in its notice are cured. Possession by a receiver, or 
other similar official appointed at the insistence, or with the consent, of 
Lender shall constitute possession by Lender for all purposes under this 
paragraph.

          5.   RENTS.  Borrower and Tenant jointly and severally acknowledge 
that the Deed of Trust provide for the direct payment to Lender of all rents 
and other monies due and to become due to Borrower under the Lease upon the 
occurrence of certain conditions as set forth in the Deed of Trust without 
Lender's taking possession of the Premises or otherwise assuming Borrower's 
position or any of Borrower's obligations under the Lease. Upon receipt from 
Lender of written notice to pay all such rents and other monies to or at the 
direction of Lender, Borrower authorizes and directs Tenant thereafter to 
make all such payments to or at the direction of Lender, releases Tenant of 
any and all liability to Borrower or any and all payments so made, and shall 
defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all 
claims, demands, losses, or liabilities asserted by, through, or under 
Borrower (except by Lender) for any and all payments so made. Upon receipt of 
such notice, Tenant thereafter shall pay all monies


                                      -3-








then due and becoming due from Tenant under the Lease to or at the direction 
of Lender, notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary. Tenant 
agrees that neither Lender's demanding or receiving any such payments, nor 
Lender's exercising any other right, remedy, privilege, power or immunity 
granted by the Deed of Trust, will operate to impose any liability upon 
Lender for performance of any obligation of Borrower under the Lease unless 
and until Lender elects otherwise in writing. Such payments shall continue 
until Lender directs Tenant otherwise in writing.

          Tenant agrees not to pay any rent under the Lease more than 30 days 
in advance without Lender's consent. The provisions of this Paragraph 5 will 
apply from time to time throughout the term of the Lease.

          6. CASUALTY AND EMINENT DOMAIN. Borrower and Tenant jointly and 
severally agree that the Deed of Trust permits Lender, at its option, to 
apply to the indebtedness from time to time secured by the Deed of Trust any 
and all insurance proceeds payable with respect to any casualty loss at the 
Premises and any and all awards or other compensation that may be payable for 
the condemnation of all or any portion of the Premises, or any interest 
therein, or by way of negotiated settlement or conveyance in lieu of 
condemnation; and Borrower and Tenant jointly and severally consent to any 
such application by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and 
Lender agree that any and all insurance or condemnation proceeds payable with 
respect to Tenant's property or the interruption or relocation of Tenant's 
business (except for rental loss insurance proceeds) will be paid to Tenant, 
so long as they do not reduce the proceeds otherwise payable to Borrower or 
Lender, or both.

          7. BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement may not be modified orally or 
in any other manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the 
parties hereto, or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement 
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their 
respective heirs, successors and assigns.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
