to Sublandlord in its sole discretion), protect and hold Sublandlord harmless
from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages,
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and litigation and court costs)
arising out of or relating to: (i) the death of or injury to any person or

Sublandlord and Subtenant to enforce any provision of this Sublease or to
protect or establish any right or remedy of either Sublandlord or Subtenant
hereunder, the non-prevailing party to such action or proceeding will pay to the
prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any
appearance in connection therewith, and if the prevailing party recovers a
judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees will be determined by the court or arbitration panel handling
the proceeding and will be included in and as a part of the judgment.

     9.    NO ENCUMBRANCE. Subtenant will not voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any part of Subtenant's
interest in the Sublease or the Subleased Premises.

     10.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

           10.1  RESTRICTION ON ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subtenant will not
voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law assign this Sublease or any
interest therein and will not sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof,
or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, without first obtaining the
written consent of Sublandlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
The transfer of more than a fifty percent (50%) partnership interest in
Subtenant, if Subtenant is a partnership, or more than fifty percent (50%) of
the stock of Subtenant, if Subtenant is a closely-held corporation, or more than
a fifty percent (50%) membership interest in Subtenant, if Subtenant is a
limited liability company, will be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of
this PARAGRAPH 10.1. If Subtenant is a publicly-held corporation, the trading of
Subtenant's stock on a national stock market shall not be deemed to be an
assignment for purposes of this PARAGRAPH 10.1.


                                         11.


           10.2  DETERMINING FACTORS. In determining whether or not to consent
to a proposed assignment or subletting, Sublandlord may consider the following
factors, among others, all of which are deemed reasonable:

           (a)   whether the proposed sublessee or assignee has a net worth
sufficient to fulfill Subtenant's obligations hereunder;

           (b)   whether the proposed use of the Subleased Premises by the
proposed sublessee or assignee is consistent with the Permitted Use set forth in
PARAGRAPH 1.9;

           (c)   whether Sublandlord's consent will result in a breach of the
Lease or any other lease or agreement to which Sublandlord is a party affecting
the Building or Subleased Premises; and

           (d)   whether the Landlord has consented in writing to the proposed
assignment or subletting, if the Landlord's consent is required.

           10.3  CONSENTS. Any attempted assignment or subletting, without
Sublandlord's consent will be null and void and of no effect. No permitted
assignment or subletting of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, will relieve
Subtenant of its obligations to pay the rent or other sum or charge due
hereunder and to perform all the other obligations to be performed by Subtenant
hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Sublandlord from any other person will not
be deemed to be a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision of this Sublease or to
be a consent to any subletting or assignment. Consent to one sublease or
assignment will not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent attempted
subletting or assignment.

           10.4  PROFIT SHARING.

           (a)   Within thirty (30) days following the date received by
Subtenant from any assignee or sublessee, Subtenant will pay to Sublandlord as
additional rent a percentage of any appreciated rent as follows: (i) if the rent
payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder is less than the rent paid by
Sublandlord to Landlord under the Lease, one hundred percent (100%) of the
amount by which the rent payable by the assignee or sublessee to Subtenant
exceeds the rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease until
the rent paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord equals the amount paid by
Sublandlord to Landlord under the Lease; and (ii) thereafter or if the rent
payable by Subtenant hereunder is the same or greater than the rent paid by
Sublandlord to Landlord under the Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by
which the rent payable by the assignee or sublessee to Subtenant throughout the
Sublease Term exceeds the rent paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this
Sublease. If the premises subleased is less than the entire Subleased Premises,
the rent payable by Subtenant hereunder shall be prorated based upon the square
footage of the premises subleased to the square footage of the entire Subleased
Premises. If Subtenant receives a lump sum payment in connection with an
assignment, the amount of the payment will be allocated between Subtenant and
Sublandlord, in the same manner taking into account the total rents payable
during the remaining terms of the Lease and Sublease.

           (b)   Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in subparagraph (a)
above, Subtenant will not be obligated to pay Sublandlord any portion of
appreciated rents until


                                          12.


Subtenant has recovered any costs it has reasonably incurred in connection with
the subletting of the Subleased Premises to any third party broker or for
improvements to the Subleased Premises. Any costs to be deducted from
appreciated rents will be submitted to Sublandlord and will be subject to
Sublandlord's reasonable approval.

          (c)   The profit-sharing provisions set forth in subparagraph (a)
above is a freely negotiated agreement between Subtenant and Sublandlord
respecting the allocation of appreciated rents. This covenant will survive the
expiration of the Sublease Term.

     11.  ALTERATIONS; SIGNS.

          11.1  ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY SUBTENANT. Subtenant will not
make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Subleased Premises
("Alterations") without obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord
thereto (and, if required, by Landlord in accordance with the Lease), which
Sublandlord may grant or withhold, and to which Sublandlord may impose any
conditions, in Sublandlord's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Subtenant may make non-structural Alterations the total cost of which is less
than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) without obtaining the prior
written consent of Sublandlord. The term "Alterations" includes any alterations,
additions or improvements made by Subtenant to comply with the ADA as required
by PARAGRAPH 1.11 above. All Alterations must be constructed (i) in a good and
workmanlike manner using materials of a quality comparable to those on the
Subleased Premises, (ii) in conformance with all relevant codes, regulations and
ordinances and (iii) only after necessary permits, licenses and approvals have
been obtained by Subtenant from appropriate governmental agencies. All
Alterations will be made at Subtenant's sole cost (including all costs relating
to the removal of asbestos, if any, in connection with the Alterations) and
diligently prosecuted to completion. Any contractor or other person making any
Alterations must first be approved in writing by Sublandlord, and Sublandlord
may require that all work be performed under Sublandlord's supervision.

          11.2  SIGNS. Subtenant shall not place on any portion of the Subleased
Premises any sign, placard, lettering in or on windows, banners, displays or
other advertising or communicative material which is visible from the exterior
of the Subleased Premises without the prior written approval of Sublandlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if required,
from Landlord in accordance with the Lease. All such approved signs shall
strictly conform to all legal requirements and shall be installed at Subtenant's
sole expense. Subtenant shall maintain such signs in good condition and repair.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant, at
Subtenant's sole cost and expense, shall remove all such signs and repair any
damage caused by such removal. If Subtenant fails to remove such signs upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, and repair any damage caused
by such removal, Sublandlord may do so at Subtenant's expense, which expense,
together with interest thereon at the rate for late payments set forth in
PARAGRAPH 1.10 shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand.

          11.3  DISPOSITION ON TERMINATION. Upon the expiration of the Sublease
Term or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublandlord may elect to have
Subtenant either: (i) surrender with the Subleased Premises any or all of the
Alterations as Sublandlord may determine (except personal property as provided
in PARAGRAPH 12 below), which Alterations will


                                         13.


become the property of Sublandlord; or (ii) promptly remove any or all of the
Alterations if Subtenant elects to remove such Alteration, in which case
Subtenant must, at Subtenant's sole cost, repair and restore the Subleased
Premises to their condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and
tear excepted.

     12.  REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. All articles of personal property, and
all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, cabinet work,
furniture and movable partitions, if any, owned or installed by Subtenant at its
expense in the Subleased Premises will be and remain the property of Subtenant
and may be removed by Subtenant at any time, provided that Subtenant, at its
expense, must repair any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by such removal
or by the original installation. Sublandlord may elect to require Subtenant to
remove all or any part of Subtenant's personal property at the expiration of the
Sublease Term or sooner termination of this Sublease, in which event the removal
will be done at Subtenant's expense and Subtenant, prior to the end of the
Sublease Term or upon sooner termination of this Sublease, will repair any
damage to the Subleased Premises caused by its removal.

     13.  HOLDING OVER. If Subtenant holds over after the expiration of the
Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease, with or without the
express or implied consent of Sublandlord, then at the option of Sublandlord,
Subtenant will become and be only a month-to-month tenant at a rent equal to one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rent payable by Subtenant immediately
prior to such expiration or termination, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants
and conditions herein specified. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, (i) Sublandlord expressly reserves the right to require
Subtenant to surrender possession of the Subleased Premises upon the expiration
of Sublease Term or upon the earlier termination of this Sublease and the right
to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Subtenant and/or collect
damages in connection with any holding over, and (ii) Subtenant will indemnify,
defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees (including the allocated costs of
Sublandlord's in-house attorneys) incurred or suffered by Sublandlord by reason
of Subtenant's failure to surrender the Subleased Premises on the expiration of
the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease.

     14.  LIENS. Subtenant will keep the Subleased Premises and the Building
free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or
obligations incurred by Subtenant. If a lien is filed, Subtenant will discharge
the lien or post a bond within ten (10) days after the date of filing.
Sublandlord has the right to post and keep posted on the Subleased Premises any
notices that may be provided by law or which Sublandlord may deem to be proper
for the protection of Sublandlord, the Subleased Premises and the Building from
such liens.

     15.  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. At all times during the Sublease Term,
Subtenant, at its sole cost, will maintain the Subleased Premises and every part
thereof and all equipment, fixtures and improvements therein in good condition
and repair. At the end of the Sublease Term, Subtenant will surrender the
Subleased Premises in as good condition as when received, reasonable wear and
tear excepted. Subtenant will be responsible for all repairs required to be
performed by the Lessee under the Lease.

     16.  INSURANCE.


                                         14.


          16.1  COVERAGE. At all times during the Sublease Term, Subtenant will,
at its sole cost, procure and maintain the following types and amounts of
insurance coverage (but in no event less than the types and amounts of coverage
required from time to time under the Lease):

          (a)   Comprehensive general liability insurance against any and all
damages and liability, including attorneys' fees on account or arising out of
injuries to or the death of any person or damage to property, however
occasioned, in, on or about the Subleased Premises with at least a single
combined liability and property damage limit of $2,000,000.

          (b)   Insurance on all plate or tempered glass in or enclosing the
Subleased Premises, for the full replacement cost of such glass.

          (c)   A policy or policies, including the basic form, broad form and
special form of coverage, including vandalism and malicious mischief, theft,
sprinkler leakage and water damage in an amount equal to the full replacement
value, new without deduction for depreciation, of the building comprising the
Subleased Premises and all trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the
Subleased Premises, and all alterations, additions and improvements to the
Subleased Premises installed by or for Subtenant or provided to Subtenant.

          (d)   Employer's liability insurance and workers' compensation
insurance as required by applicable law.

          (e)   Any other insurance required under the Lease to the extent not
covered in subsections (a)-(d) above.

          16.2  POLICIES. All insurance required to be carried by Subtenant must
be in a form satisfactory to Sublandlord and carried with companies reasonably
acceptable to Sublandlord. Subtenant must provide Sublandlord with a certificate
of insurance showing Sublandlord and Landlord as additional insureds on all
policies of insurance excluding the insurance required under PARAGRAPH 16.1(d).
The certificate must provide for a thirty (30) day written notice to Sublandlord
in the event of cancellation or material change of coverage.

          16.3  SUBROGATION. Sublandlord and Subtenant will each obtain from
their respective insurers under all policies of fire, theft, public liability
and other insurance maintained by either of them at any time during the Sublease
Term insuring or covering the Subleased Premises excluding the insurance
required under PARAGRAPH 16.1(e), a waiver of all rights of subrogation which
the insurer of one party might otherwise have, if at all, against the other
party.

          16.4  PRIMARY COVERAGE. All insurance to be maintained by Subtenant
shall be primary, without right of contribution from any insurance maintained by
Sublandlord.

     17.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If one or more of the following events ("Event of
Default") occurs, such occurrence constitutes a breach of this Sublease by
Subtenant:

          (a)   Subtenant abandons or vacates the Subleased Premises; or

          (b)   Subtenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Monthly Rent or
Operating Expenses and Taxes, if applicable, as and when the same become due and
payable, and such


                                         15.


failure continues for more than seven (7) days after Sublandlord gives written
notice thereof to Subtenant; or

          (c)   Subtenant fails to pay any other sum or charge payable by
Subtenant hereunder as and when the same becomes due and payable, and such
failure continues for more than five (5) days after Sublandlord gives written
notice thereof to Subtenant; or

          (d)   Subtenant fails to perform or observe any other agreement,
covenant, condition or provision of this Sublease to be performed or observed by
Subtenant as and when performance or observance is due, and such failure
continues for more than five (5) days after Sublandlord gives written notice
thereof to Subtenant, or if the default cannot be cured within said five (5) day
period and Subtenant fails within said period to commence with due diligence and
dispatch the curing of such default or, having so commenced, thereafter fails to
prosecute or complete with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such
default; or

          (e)   Subtenant: (i) files or consents by answer or otherwise to the
filing against it of a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or
any other petition in bankruptcy or liquidation or to take advantage of any
bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction; (ii) makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors; (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian,
receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of itself or of any
substantial part of its property; or (iv) takes action for the purpose of any of
the foregoing; or

          (f)   A court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction,
without consent by Subtenant, enters an order appointing a custodian, receiver,
trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to it or with respect
to any substantial portion of its property, or constituting an order for relief
or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or any other petition in
bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution,
winding up or liquidation of Subtenant, or if any such petition is filed against
Subtenant and such petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; or

          (g)   This Sublease or any estate of Subtenant hereunder is levied
upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not
vacated within ninety (90) days.

     18.  REMEDIES OF SUBLANDLORD ON DEFAULT.

          18.1  TERMINATION OF SUBLEASE. In the event of any breach of this
Sublease by Subtenant, Sublandlord may, at its option, terminate the Sublease
and recover from Subtenant:

          (a)   the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of termination; plus

          (b)   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 the award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus


                                         16.


          (c)   the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the Sublease Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
plus

          (d)   any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to perform its obligations
under this Sublease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom (specifically including, without limitation, the unamortized
portion of any brokerage commissions paid by Sublandlord for this Sublease,
brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred for a new sublease,
expenses of remodelling the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof for a new
subtenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions
made to obtain a new subtenant); and

          (e)   at Sublandlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or
in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under the laws
and judicial decisions of the State in which the Subleased Premises are located.

The term "rent" as used in this PARAGRAPH 18.1 will be deemed to be and to mean
all sums of every nature required to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to the terms
of this Sublease, whether to Sublandlord or to others. As used in subparagraphs
(a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of the award" will be computed by
allowing interest at the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law. As used in
subparagraph (c) above, the "worth at the time of the award" will be computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%). If Sublandlord
terminates this Sublease or Subtenant's right to possession, Sublandlord will
use reasonable efforts to mitigate Sublandlord's damages, and Subtenant will be
entitled to submit proof of Sublandlord's failure to mitigate as a defense to
Sublandlord's claims hereunder, if mitigation of damages by Sublandlord is
required by applicable law.

          18.2  CONTINUE SUBLEASE IN EFFECT. Sublandlord will have the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (a lessor may continue a lease
in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes
due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations). Accordingly, if Sublandlord does not elect to terminate this
Sublease on account of any default by Subtenant, Sublandlord may, from time to
time, without terminating this Sublease, enforce all of its rights and remedies
under this Sublease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
If the default continues, Sublandlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to
terminate the Sublease. Sublandlord will not be deemed to have terminated this
Sublease or the liability of Subtenant to pay rent or any other amounts due
hereunder by any reentry or by any action in unlawful detainer, unless
Sublandlord has specifically notified Subtenant in writing that Sublandlord has
elected to terminate this Sublease.

          18.3  OTHER REMEDIES. Sublandlord will at all times have the rights
and remedies (which will be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in
addition to those rights and remedies available under PARAGRAPHS 18.1 and 18.2
above, or under any law or other provision of this Sublease), without prior
demand or notice except as required by applicable law,


                                         17.


to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically
enforce this Sublease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any
provision hereof.

     19.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

          19.1  OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE. Subtenant will at any time upon not less
than ten (10) days' prior written notice from Sublandlord execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Sublandlord a statement in writing: (i) certifying that this
Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating
the nature of such modification and certifying that this Sublease, as so
modified, is in full force and effect), the amount of any security deposit, and
the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; and
(ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Subtenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Sublandlord hereunder or of Landlord under the Lease, or
specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Subleased Premises.

          19.2  FAILURE TO PROVIDE. At Sublandlord's option, Subtenant's failure
to deliver a statement within the time required by PARAGRAPH 19.1 above, will be
conclusive upon Subtenant: (i) that this Sublease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Sublandlord; (ii) that
there are no uncured defaults in Sublandlord's performance hereunder or in
Landlord's performance under the Lease; and (iii) that not more than one month's
rent has been paid in advance, or such failure may be considered by Sublandlord
as a material default by Subtenant under this Sublease.

          19.3  FINANCIAL INFORMATION. If the Landlord desires to finance,
refinance, or sell the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, Subtenant hereby
agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Landlord such
financial statements of Subtenant as may be reasonably required by such lender
or purchaser including, without limitation, the past three years' financial
statements of Subtenant.

     20.  REAL ESTATE BROKERS. Each party warrants to the other that there are
no brokerage commissions or fees payable in connection with this Sublease except
to the Brokers identified in PARAGRAPH 1.15. Each party further agrees to
indemnify and hold the other party harmless, from any cost, liability and
expense (including attorneys' fees and litigation and court costs) which the
other party may incur as the result of any breach of this PARAGRAPH 20.

     21.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          21.1. COUNTERPARTS. This Sublease may be executed in one (1) or more
counterparts, and all of the counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
agreement, notwithstanding that all parties hereto are not signatory to the same
or original counterpart.

          21.2  CONSTRUCTION. The parties acknowledge that each party and its
counsel have reviewed and revised this Sublease and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Sublease or
any amendment or exhibits hereto.


                                         18.


          21.3  NOTICES. All notices or other communications required or
permitted hereunder must be in writing, and be personally delivered (including
by means of professional messenger service) or sent by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested to the addresses set forth in
PARAGRAPH 1.12. All notices will be deemed received on the date sent.

          21.4  GOVERNING LAW. This Sublease shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts
entered into in California between parties residing in California. Subtenant
hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any California state
court located in the County of Los Angeles and United States District Courts for
the Central District of California, and any successor court, and the service of
process by any means authorized by such court.

          21.5  EXHIBITS. All exhibits and any schedules or riders attached to
this Sublease are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof,
and any reference in the body of the Sublease or in the exhibits, schedules or
riders to the Sublease shall mean this Sublease, together with all exhibits,
schedules and riders.

          21.6  WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Subtenant hereby waives any and all
rights it may have under applicable law to trial by jury with respect to any
dispute with Sublandlord arising directly or indirectly in connection with this
Sublease, the Lease, or the Subleased Premises.

          21.7  PROHIBITION ON SOLICITATION OF SUBLANDLORD'S CUSTOMERS.
Subtenant hereby acknowledges that Sublandlord or First Interstate Bank operated
a branch banking facility at the Subleased Premises ("Sublandlord's Branch
Bank") prior to Sublandlord's decision to consolidate its bank business at the
Subleased Premises into another location within the geographical proximity of
the Subleased Premises and to market the Subleased Premises for sublease. As
material consideration for Sublandlord entering into this Sublease, Subtenant
covenants and agrees that neither Subtenant nor any potential sub-subtenant (or
other user) of Subtenant shall use, at any time whether prior to or on or after
the Commencement Date, the trade or service name, logo or marks of WFB, Wells
Fargo, Wells Fargo Bank, Wells Fargo & Company, the Wells Fargo stagecoach, the
stagecoach, First Interstate Bank, First Interstate, FIB or any combination of
the foregoing at any time without Sublandlord's consent, which may be withheld
in its sole discretion. The breach of the covenant set forth in this PARAGRAPH
21.7 by Subtenant or any potential sub-subtenant (or other user) of Subtenant
shall be a non-curable Event of Default under this Sublease and, in addition to
any other remedies available to Sublandlord at law or in equity, Sublandlord
shall have the right to terminate this Sublease in accordance with PARAGRAPH
18.1 above. Sublandlord shall be entitled to recover attorneys' fees and
litigation and court costs related to its enforcement of the terms of this
PARAGRAPH 21.7.

          21.8  CONFIDENTIALITY. Except for the disclosure to any agency of the
City of San Diego of any information necessary to enable Subtenant to obtain any
permits or approvals necessary for Subtenant's bank operation and Subtenant's
Alterations, Subtenant expressly covenants and agrees to keep confidential and
not publicly disclose, without first obtaining the prior written consent of
Sublandlord, the existence and/or terms of this Sublease and the transaction
contemplated hereby and all information and reports obtained from Sublandlord.
The


                                         19.


provisions of this PARAGRAPH 21.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease.

                                   (Signature page follows)








                                         20.

rent herein reserved.

payment of the rent herein reserved or

should Lessee fail to faithfully perform or observe any other covenant, 
condition or agreement herein contained on the part of the Lessee to be 
performed, and should such default continue for a period of ten (10) days 
after written notice thereof, or should the leased premises be vacated or 
abandoned, then Lessor may, at his option, either (1) enter upon and repossess 
the leased premises and terminate this lease and all rights of the Lessee 
herein in and to the leased premises, or (2) re-enter the leased premises 
and, as agent of the Lessee, rent the same or any part thereof for the 
remainder of the term, applying such rentals first to the payment of such 
expenses as the Lessor may have been put to in re-entering, repossessing and 
reletting the premises, including costs and attorneys' fees, and the balance 
to the payment of the rent and the fulfillment of each of the covenants, 
conditions and agreements herein contained, and Lessee agrees that such 
action on the part of the Lessor will not release Lessee from any liability 
which would otherwise attach or secure under the provisions of this lease, or 
for any loss, damage or liability which Lessor may suffer during the 
remainder of the term of this lease by reason of such breach, and the failure 
of Lessee to thereafter perform the covenants and conditions hereof, whether 
the premises remain vacant or be rented. In the event of any breach of this 
lease, Lessor may pursue either of the foregoing remedies, or Lessor may 
pursue or seek any other remedy or enforce any right to which he may be by 
law entitled.

party hereto, the unsuccessful

party to such litigation agrees to pay to the successful party all costs and 
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred thereby by the 
successful party, all of which shall be included in and as a part of the 
judgment rendered in such litigation. If either Lessor or Lessee, without 
fault on its part, is made a party to any litigation instituted by or against 
the other, such other party shall indemnify the Lessor or Lessee, as the case 
may be, who, without fault, has been made a party to such action, against and 
save it harmless from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' 
fees incurred by it in connection with such litigation except costs and 
expenses, if any, which are recoverable from other parties to the litigation.

caused by such removal, Lessee agrees to repair such damage at its own cost 
forthwith.

          1.  DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES.  The Lessors hereby lease to the 
Lessee, and the Lessee hires from the Lessors, on the terms and conditions 
hereinafter set forth, those certain premises with the appurtenances, 
situated in the city of San Diego, county of San Diego, state of California, 
described as follows:

              That certain real property legally described as 
              Lot 13, Block 29, La Jolla Park, 25' x 140' to
              20" Alley.

          2.  TERM.  The term of this lease shall be for sixty-five (65) 
years, commencing November 1, 1961. Lessee is hereby granted an option to 
renew this lease for a further term


                                      -1-


of thirty-four (34) years upon each and all of the same terms and conditions 
as herein contained. Written notice of Lessee's intention to renew this lease 
shall be given to Lessors at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration 
of this lease.

          3.  RENT.  Lessee shall pay to Lessors, in advance, on the first 
day of each and every month commencing November 1, 1961, the sum of           
                               as base rent. Said base rent shall be adjusted 
every three (3) years on the anniversary date hereof, upwards only in 
proportion that the then current U. S. Department of Labor Index of Consumer 
Commodity Prices (all commodities) in the Los Angeles area for the 
immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds the U. S. Department of Labor 
Index of Consumer Commodity Prices (all commodities) in the Los Angeles area 
for the quarter immediately preceding the commencement of this lease. It is 
agreed that the sum of                           heretofore paid by Lessee to 
Lessors for the above described option shall be credited and applied on the 
rent due hereunder November 1, 1961. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessors upon 
execution of this lease the sum of                           , which sum shall 
apply as base rental for the last year of the term of this lease.

          4.  FIRST REFUSAL.  In the event Lessors should desire to sell the 
leased premises during the term of this lease or any extended term. Lessors 
shall submit to Lessee in writing any bona fide offer received by Lessors, 
which writing shall name the offeror, the amount offered, and any other 
condition of the offer. Lessee shall thereafter have the right, for fifteen 
(15) days, in which to purchase the said premises upon the same terms and 
conditions as contained in said offer. In the 


                                      -2-




event Lessee should fail to exercise the right to purchase within said 
fifteen (15) days, Lessors shall then be free to sell said premises to said 
offeror, however, the said premises shall not be sold for a less amount or 
upon more favorable terms and conditions than contained in said offer 
submitted to Lessee without Lessors again offering the same to Lessee. The 
right and privilege contained in this paragraph for the purchase of the 
leased premises shall only apply to Lessee or a successor bank.

          5.  CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS.  Upon execution and commencement 
of this lease, Lessee shall have the right at its sole cost and expense to 
demolish, raze, and/or remove any or all of the existing improvements now 
situate on the subject property, and in such event shall have the right and 
be obligated to construct or cause to be constructed such other improvements 
as Lessee may desire. The Lessors may remain in possession of the buildings 
situated on the property and retain the rents collected therefrom for ninety 
(90) days from the commencement date of this lease, and shall remove 
themselves therefrom forthwith upon the expiration of said ninety (90) day 
period. Further, it is understood and agreed that in the event the 
Superintendent of Banks of the State of California and the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation fail to authorize Lessee to establish and maintain a 
branch of its bank upon the aforesaid described property, that Lessee shall 
have the right and option to cancel this lease upon the giving of ten (10) 
days' notice in writing, and in the event of such cancellation the last 
year's rent deposited hereunder by Lessee shall be returned to Lessee


                                      -3-


by Lessors. It is understood in this connection that Lessee shall use its 
best efforts to secure such permits. In no event shall Lessee demolish, raze, 
and/or remove any or all of the existing improvements now situate on the 
subject property until such permits have been obtained.

          6.  TAXES AND UTILITIES.  Lessee agrees to pay when due all 
charges for water, light, cleaning and the like used on the leased premises 
or any part thereof during the term of this lease, and Lessee further agrees 
to pay when due all license fees and any and all taxes on the land, 
improvements, and personal property that may be levied by any taxing 
authority upon the real and personal property located in or upon the said 
leased premises or upon the business conducted thereon, provided that the 
Lessee shall not be required to pay any income, estate, or inheritance tax of 
the Lessors that might be levied against said leased premises, which Lessors 
shall promptly pay. Lessee shall have the right to contest or protest any 
tax, assessment or charge against said property. All taxes to be paid by the 
Lessee on the leased premises shall be prorated as of the date of 
commencement of this lease. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any 
and all tax bills levied by any taxing authority against the leased premises, 
the Lessors shall mail such tax bills to the cashier of the San Diego Trust & 
Savings Bank, who shall pay such taxes on or before the date due and mail the 
receipted tax bills within thirty (30) days after payment to the Lessors, who 
shall retain such bills in their records.

          7.  LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Lessee agrees to secure and maintain in 
force, at its own expense, during the term


                                      -4-


of this lease, a policy of owner, landlord and tenant liability insurance, 
indemnifying and protecting Lessors against any and all claims for injuries 
or damages suffered or alleged to have been suffered by a person or persons 
while in or about the leased premises, with limits of liability of $100,000 
for one person and $300,000 for any one accident involving more than one 
person arising from any and all demands, loss or liability resulting at any 
time or times from the injury to or the death of any person or persons, or 
from damage to any and all property occurring from the negligence or other 
fault of Lessee in or about the leased premises or in connection with the use 
of the street or sidewalk adjoining said premises. The said insurance shall 
be carried in a company acceptable to Lessors, and a copy of said policy 
shall be delivered to Lessors. Lessee further agrees to carry property damage 
insurance in the amount of $10,000 indemnifying both Lessors and Lessee from 
any and all claims of property damage. Said policy shall be carried in a 
company acceptable to Lessors, and a copy of said policy shall be delivered 
to Lessors.

          8.  HOLDING OVER.  Lessee agrees that should it hold over the 
leased premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term, unless 
otherwise agreed in writing, such holdover shall constitute a tenancy from 
month to month only, and Lessee shall pay the then reasonable value of the 
use and occupation of the leased premises, which shall not be less than the 
rent herein reserved.

          10.  DEFAULT.  Lessee agrees that should default be made in the 
payment of the rent herein reserved or


                                      -5-


should Lessee fail to faithfully perform or observe any other covenant, 
condition or agreement herein contained on the part of the Lessee to be 
performed, and should such default continue for a period of ten (10) days 
after written notice thereof, or should the leased premises be vacated or 
abandoned, then Lessors may, at their option, either (1) enter upon and 
repossess the leased premises and terminate this lease and all rights of the 
Lessee herein in and to the leased premises, or (2) re-enter the leased 
premises and, as agent of the Lessee, rent the same or any part thereof for 
the remainder of the term, applying such rentals first to the payment of such 
expenses as the Lessors may have been put to in re-entering, repossessing and 
reletting the premises, including costs and attorneys' fees, and the balance 
to the payment of the rent and the fulfillment of each of the covenants, 
conditions and agreements herein contained, and Lessee agrees that such 
action on the part of the Lessors will not release Lessee from any liability 
which would otherwise attach or accrue under the provisions of this lease, or 
for any loss, damage or liability which Lessors may suffer during the 
remainder of the term of this lease by reason of such breach, and the failure 
of Lessee to thereafter perform the covenants and conditions hereof, whether 
the premises remain vacant or be rented. In the event of any breach of this 
lease, Lessors may pursue either of the foregoing remedies, or Lessors may 
pursue or seek any other remedy or enforce any right to which they may be by 
law entitled.

          10.  LITIGATION.  In the event of any litigation between the Lessee 
and Lessors to enforce any provision of this lease or any right of either 
party hereto, the unsuccessful


                                      -6-


party to such litigation agrees to pay to the successful party all costs and 
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred thereby by the 
successful party, all of which shall be included in and as a part of the 
judgment rendered in such litigation. If either Lessors or Lessee, without 
fault on its part, is made a party to any litigation instituted by or against 
the other, such other party shall indemnify the Lessors or Lessee, as the 
case may be, who, without fault, has been made a party to such action, 
against and save it harmless from all costs and expenses, including 
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by it in connection with such litigation 
except costs and expenses, if any, which are recoverable from other parties 
to the litigation.

          11.  REMOVAL OF FIXTURES.  The Lessee may remove all trade fixtures 
and movable furniture, including but not limited to vault doors, safety 
deposit boxes, counters, signs, and banking fixtures installed on the demised 
premises by Lessee at any time during the term of this lease and at the 
expiration or termination of this lease or any renewal term hereof, provided 
that same may be removed without damage to the building, and if damage is 
caused by such removal. Lessee agrees to repair such damage at its own cost 
forthwith.

          12.  USE OF PREMISES; ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  The premises are 
leased to the Lessee for the purpose of conducting the business of a bank 
and/or such other businesses as are permitted under the existing zoning laws 
or other zone or zones as may be established from time to time. Lessee shall 
not assign this lease without the written consent of Lessors, but such consent


                                      -7-


shall not be unreasonably withhold. In the event of such assignment, Lessee 
shall not be relieved of liability hereunder. Lessee shall have the right, 
however, without Lessors' consent to sublet all or any portion of the 
premises, and any such sublessees of such premises shall have the right to 
use the premises for any lawful purposes.

          13.  CONDITION OF PREMISES.  Lessee covenants and agrees that it 
has examined and knows the condition of the leased premises herein and 
accepts the same in their present condition and acknowledges that no 
statement or representation as to the condition or repair of said premises 
has been made by the Lessors or by any person for them prior to or 
contemporaneously with the execution of this lease.

          14.  WASTE; QUIET CONDUCT.  Lessee shall not commit, or suffer to 
be committed, any waste upon the said premises, or any nuisance.

          15.  REPAIRS.  Lessee shall, at its sole cost, keep and maintain 
said premises and appurtenances and every part thereof, including windows and 
skylights, sidewalks adjacent to said premises, any store front and the 
interior of the premises, in good and sanitary order, condition, and repair, 
hereby waiving all rights to make repairs at the expense of Lessors as 
provided in Section 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and 
all rights provided for by Section 1941 of said Civil Code.

          16.  ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AS IS; SURRENDER AT END OF TERM.  By 
entry hereunder, Lessee accepts the premises as being in good and sanitary 
order, condition and repair


                                      -8-


and agrees on the last day of said term, or sooner termination of this lease, 
to surrender unto Lessors all and singular said premises with said 
appurtenances in as good condition as when received, reasonable use and wear 
thereof and act of God or by the elements excepted, and to remove all of 
Lessee's signs from said premises, but shall not be required to restore the 
premises in any event.

          17.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  Lessee shall, at its sole cost and 
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all Municipal, State and 
Federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, 
pertaining to the said premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of 
the premises all Municipal ordinances and State and Federal statutes now in 
force or which may hereafter be in force. The judgment of any court of 
competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Lessee in any action or 
proceeding against Lessee, whether Lessors be parties thereto or not, that 
Lessee has violated any such ordinance or statute in the use of the premises 
shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessors and Lessee.

          18.  NOTICES.  Any notice or demand which Lessors may desire to 
give Lessee shall be mailed or served at Lessee's main office, Sixth and 
Broadway, San Diego, California, attention of its cashier, or at such other 
address as Lessee may designate in writing; all notices which Lessee may 
desire to give to Lessors shall be served on Lessors or mailed to them at
