                                                  ---------
"Site"), to consist of a two-story office and laboratory building containing
approximately 66,127 square feet (measured in accordance with the BOMA standard
most closely applicable to a two-story, single-tenant building of this nature).
The location of the Initial Building on the Site is intended to be substantially
as shown for "Building B" on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The

Article 5 hereof and Exhibit C attached hereto, on the portion of the Site
                     ---------

                           ---------
sometimes referred to collectively herein as the "Improvements," and the
Improvements and the Phase I Site are sometimes referred to collectively herein

pursuant to Section 1.1(a), Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, for the benefit of
Tenant and its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees, during
the term of this Lease, the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others
entitled to such use, (i) those portions of the Common Areas improved from time
to time for use as parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, landscaped areas, or for
other common purposes, and (ii) all easements, access rights and similar rights
and privileges relating to or appurtenant to the Property and created or
existing from time to time under any easement agreements, declarations of
covenants, conditions and restrictions, or other written agreements now of
record with respect to the Site, including (but not limited to) the portion of
the Site designated as "Phase II" on Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Phase II
                                     ---------
Site"), subject however to any limitations applicable to such rights and
privileges under applicable law and/or under the written agreements creating
such rights and privileges.

entry set forth in Section 16.1 hereof, the following rights:  (i) to make
changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the
location, size or shape of any portion of the Common Areas and to relocate (but
not materially decrease the number of) parking spaces on the Phase I Site; (ii)
to close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance or other reasonable
purposes, provided that reasonable parking and reasonable access to the Initial
Building remain available; (iii) to construct, alter or add to other buildings
or improvements on the Site (including, but not limited to, construction of a
building in the area designated as "Building A" on the site plan attached hereto
as Exhibit B, and construction of site improvements and common area improvements
   ---------
in the Phase II Site; (iv) to build adjoining to the Property and/or the Site;
(v) to use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements,
repairs or alterations to the Property, or any portion thereof; and (vi) to do
and perform such other acts with respect to the Common Areas and the Property as
may be necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that notwithstanding
                                 --------
anything to the contrary in this Section 1.2, Landlord's exercise of its rights
hereunder (x) shall not cause any material diminution of Tenant's rights, nor
any material increase of Tenant's obligations, under this Lease or with respect
to the Improvements, (y) shall not authorize Landlord to make any material,
permanent alterations in the Improvements without the prior written consent of
Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (z)
shall be conducted in such a manner as to minimize, to the extent reasonably
possible, any adverse effect on Tenant's business operations on the Phase I Site
(including, but not limited to, reasonable prior notice to Tenant of any pile-
driving or other activities that will cause significant noise or vibration on
the Phase I Site).

                                    2.  TERM
                                        ----

  2.1   Term.  The term of this Lease shall commence on the later to occur of
        ----
(i) the date which is six (6) months after the date Landlord delivers to Tenant
a Structural Completion Certificate pursuant to the Workletter attached hereto
as Exhibit C, subject to any adjustments authorized or required under the
   ---------
provisions of such Exhibit C, or (ii) February 1, 1996, the later of such dates
                   ---------
being herein called the "Commencement Date," and shall end on the day
immediately preceding the date fifteen (15) years thereafter, unless sooner
terminated or extended (if applicable) as hereinafter provided.

  2.2   Early Possession.  Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to occupy
        ----------------
and take possession of the Phase I Site from and after the date of Landlord's
delivery of the Structural Completion Certificate described in clause (i) of
Section 2.1, even though such date is prior to the Commencement Date determined
under Section 2.1 and even though Landlord will be continuing to construct the
balance of Landlord's Work as contemplated in Exhibit C, for the purpose of
                                              ---------
constructing Tenant's Work as contemplated in Exhibit C.  Such occupancy and
                                              ---------
possession, and any early access under the next sentence of this Section 2.2,
shall be subject to and upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and
of the Workletter attached hereto as Exhibit C (including,
                                     ---------

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

but not limited to, conditions relating to the maintenance of required
insurance), except that Tenant shall have no obligation to pay minimum rental or
Operating Expenses for any period prior to the Commencement Date as determined
under Section 2.1; such early possession shall not advance or otherwise affect
the Commencement Date or termination date determined under Section 2.1. Tenant
shall also be entitled to have early access to the Phase I Site at all
appropriate times prior to Landlord's delivery of the Structural Completion
Certificate, subject to the approval of Landlord and its contractor (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), solely for the purpose
of installing fixtures and equipment and other similar work preparatory to the
construction of Tenant's Work and the commencement of Tenant's business on the
Property, and Tenant shall not be required to pay minimum rental or Operating
Expenses by reason of such early access until the Commencement Date otherwise
occurs. Tenant shall not interfere with or delay Landlord's contractors by any
such early access, occupancy or possession under this Section 2.2 prior to
Landlord's delivery of the Structural Completion Certificate, shall coordinate
and cooperate with Landlord and its contractors (who shall similarly coordinate
and cooperate with Tenant and its contractors) to minimize any interference or
delay by either party with respect to the other party's work following
Landlord's delivery of the Structural Completion Certificate, and shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its agents and employees from
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, losses, costs and
expenses, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out
of or in connection with Tenant's early entry upon the Phase I Site hereunder.

  2.3   Delay In Possession.  Landlord agrees to use its best reasonable efforts
        -------------------
to complete promptly its portion of the work described in Section 5.1 and
Exhibit C; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
---------
caused by any delay in the completion of such work, nor shall any such delay
affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, however, if Landlord
fails to deliver the Structural Completion Certificate and tender possession of
the completed structural portions of the Building Shell (i.e., those portions
                                                         ----
required to be completed as a condition of delivery of the Structural Completion
Certificate) to Tenant by April 30, 1996, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease without further liability hereunder by written notice
delivered to Landlord at any time prior to Landlord's delivery of the Structural
Completion Certificate and tender of possession of the completed structural
portions of the Building Shell to Tenant; provided, however, that the deadline
                                          --------
of April 30, 1996 set forth in this sentence shall be extended, day for day, for
a period equal to the length of any delay beyond May 31, 1995 in Tenant's
delivery to Landlord of all information reasonably necessary for Landlord to
complete the preparation of all drawings, designs and specifications for the
Building Shell.

  2.4   Acknowledgement Of Lease Commencement.  Upon commencement of the term of
        -------------------------------------
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgement of the
Commencement Date, date of termination and related matters, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit E (with appropriate insertions), which
                        ---------
acknowledgement shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by this reference.
Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement, the failure of Tenant to execute such
a written acknowledgement shall not affect the determination of the Commencement
Date, date of

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

termination and related matters in accordance with the provisions of this
Lease.

  2.5   Holding Over.  If Tenant holds possession of the Property or any portion
        ------------
thereof after the term of this Lease with Landlord's written consent, then
except as otherwise specified in such consent, Tenant shall become a tenant from
month to month at one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rental and
otherwise upon the terms herein specified for the period immediately prior to
such holding over and shall continue in such status until the tenancy is
terminated by either party upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice.  If Tenant holds possession of the Property or any portion thereof after
the term of this Lease without Landlord's written consent, then Landlord in its
sole discretion may elect (by written notice to Tenant) to have Tenant become a
tenant either from month to month or at will, at one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the rental (prorated on a daily basis for an at-will tenancy, if
applicable) and otherwise upon the terms herein specified for the period
immediately prior to such holding over, or may elect to pursue any and all legal
remedies available to Landlord under applicable law with respect to such
unconsented holding over by Tenant.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost or expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any delay by Tenant in surrendering
the Property (except with Landlord's prior written consent), including but not
limited to any claims made by a succeeding tenant by reason of such delay.
Acceptance of rent by Landlord following expiration or termination of this Lease
shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease.

  2.6   Option To Extend Term.  Tenant shall have the option to extend the term
        ---------------------
of this Lease, at the minimum rental set forth in Section 3.1(b) and (c) and
otherwise upon all the terms and provisions set forth herein with respect to the
initial term of this Lease, for up to two (2) additional periods of five (5)
years each, the first commencing upon the expiration of the initial term hereof
and the second commencing upon the expiration of the first extended term, if
any.  Exercise of such option with respect to the first such extended term shall
be by written notice to Landlord at least nine (9) months prior to the
expiration of the initial term hereof; exercise of such option with respect to
the second extended term, if the first extension option has been duly exercised,
shall be by like written notice to Landlord at least nine (9) months prior to
the expiration of the first extended term hereof.  If Tenant is in default
hereunder on the date of such notice or on the date any extended term is to
commence, then the option shall be of no force or effect, the extended term
shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the then current
term hereof (or at such earlier time as Landlord may elect pursuant to the
default provisions of this Lease).  If Tenant properly exercises one or more
extension options under this Section, then all references in this Lease (other
than in this Section 2.6) to the "term" of this Lease shall be construed to
include the extension term(s) thus elected by Tenant.  Except as expressly set
forth in this Section 2.6, Tenant shall have no right to extend the term of this
Lease beyond its prescribed term.

        (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as minimum rental for the Property, in

                   169 - 180     170,608
</TABLE>

If the obligation to pay minimum rental hereunder commences on other than the
first day of a calendar month or if the term of this Lease terminates on other
than the last day of a calendar month, the minimum rental for such first or last
month of the term of this Lease, as the case may be, shall be prorated based on
the number of days the term of this Lease is in effect during such month.  If an
increase in minimum rental becomes effective on a day other than the first day
of a calendar month, the minimum rental for that month shall be the sum of the
two applicable rates, each prorated for the portion of the month during which
such rate is in effect.

        (b) If Tenant properly exercises its right to extend the term of this
Lease pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the minimum rental during the first
extended term shall be equal to the greater of (i) $144,157 per month or (ii)
ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair market rental value of the Property (as
defined below), including any rental increase provisions then customary in the
relevant market for comparable commercial leases, determined as of the
commencement of such extended term in accordance with this paragraph.  Upon
Landlord's receipt of a proper notice of Tenant's exercise of its option to
extend the term of this Lease, the parties shall have sixty (60) days

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

in which to agree on the fair market rental (including any applicable rental
increase provisions) for the Property at the commencement of the first extended
term for the uses permitted hereunder. If the parties agree on such fair market
rental and rental increase provisions (if any), they shall execute an amendment
to this Lease stating the amount of the applicable minimum monthly rental and
any applicable rental increase provisions. If the parties are unable to agree on
such rental (including any applicable rental increase provisions) within such
sixty (60) day period, then within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of
such period each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party,
shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years experience
appraising similar commercial properties in northeastern San Mateo County to
appraise and set the fair market rental and any applicable rental increase
provisions for the Property at the commencement of the first extended term. If
either party fails to appoint an appraiser within the allotted time, the single
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser. If an
appraiser is appointed by each party and the two appraisers so appointed are
unable to agree upon a fair market rental (and any appropriate rental increase
provisions) within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second, they
shall appoint a third qualified appraiser within ten (10) days after expiration
of such 30-day period; if they are unable to agree upon a third appraiser,
either party may, upon not less than five (5) days notice to the other party,
apply to the Presiding Judge of the San Mateo County Superior Court for the
appointment of a third qualified appraiser. Each party shall bear its own legal
fees in connection with appointment of the third appraiser and shall bear one-
half of any other costs of appointment of the third appraiser and of such third
appraiser's fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who
has not previously acted for either party in any capacity. Within thirty (30)
days after the appointment of the third appraiser, a majority of the three
appraisers shall set the fair market rental and any applicable rental increase
provisions for the first extended term and shall so notify the parties. If a
majority are unable to agree within the allotted time, (i) the three appraised
fair market rentals shall be added together and divided by three and the
resulting quotient shall be the fair market rental for the first extended term,
and (ii) the applicable rental increase provision shall be equal to the
mathematical average (or the nearest reasonable approximation thereto) of the
two rental increase provisions that are most closely comparable, which
determinations shall be binding on the parties and shall be enforceable in any
further proceedings relating to this Lease. For purposes of this Section 3.1(b),
the "fair market rental" of the Property shall be determined with reference to
the then prevailing market rental rates for properties in northeastern San Mateo
County with shell and standard office, research and development improvements and
site (common area) improvements comparable to those then existing in the Initial
Building and on the Property; no equipment or laboratory improvements shall be
taken into account in determining such fair market rental.

        (c) If Tenant properly exercises its right to a second extended term of
this Lease pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the minimum rental during such second
extended term shall be determined in the same manner provided in the preceding
paragraph for the first extended term, except that the determination shall be
made as of the commencement of the second extended term.

        (d) The minimum rental amounts specified in this Section 3.1 are based
upon an estimated area of 66,127 square feet for the Initial

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Building. If the actual area of the Initial Building, when completed, is greater
or less than such estimated area, then the minimum rentals specified in this
Section 3.1 shall be adjusted proportionately to the change in the area of the
Initial Building, measured in accordance with the BOMA standard most closely
applicable to a two-story, single-tenant building of this nature; provided,
                                                                  --------
however, that the foregoing provision shall not apply to the minimum rental for
months 1 through 12 of the initial term, which rental is based on a negotiated
square footage of less than the full area of the Initial Building and is not
intended to be subject to adjustment under this paragraph (d).

  3.2   Late Charge.  If Tenant fails to pay when due rental or other amounts
        -----------
due Landlord hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest for the benefit
of Landlord at a rate equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or
the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date due to the date of payment.  In
addition to such interest, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge in an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of any installment of minimum rental and any
other amounts due Landlord if not paid in full on or before the fifth (5th) day
after such rental or other amount is due.  Tenant acknowledges that late payment
by Tenant to Landlord of rental or other amounts due hereunder will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, including, without
limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be
imposed on Landlord by the terms of any loan relating to the Property.  Tenant
further acknowledges that it is extremely difficult and impractical to fix the
exact amount of such costs and that the late charge set forth in this Section
3.2 represents a fair and reasonable estimate thereof.  Acceptance of any late
charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with
respect to overdue rental or other amounts, nor shall such acceptance prevent
Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to it.
Acceptance of rent or other payments by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver
of late charges or interest accrued with respect to such rent or other payments
or any prior installments thereof, nor of any other defaults by Tenant, whether
monetary or non-monetary in nature, remaining uncured at the time of such
acceptance of rent or other payments.

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

  4.1   Stock Warrants.  Within fifteen (15) days after written request by
        --------------
Landlord at any time after execution hereof (but in all events no later than
four (4) months after execution hereof), as a condition to Landlord's
obligations hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, subject to compliance
by Tenant and Landlord with all applicable securities laws, a warrant registered
in Landlord's name to purchase two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of Tenant's
common stock.  The warrant shall have an exercise price of seven dollars and
fifty cents ($7.50) per share and shall be exercisable only after the closing of
the initial public offering of Tenant's common stock and for a period of five
(5) years thereafter, and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth
therein.

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

  5.1   Construction of Improvements.  Landlord shall, at Landlord's cost and
        ----------------------------
expense (except as otherwise provided herein and in Exhibit C), construct
                                                    ---------

use its best efforts to complete such construction in accordance with the
estimated construction schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D as the same may be
                                                   ---------
modified or revised from time to time in accordance with the Workletter.  Tenant
shall, at Tenant's cost and expense (except as otherwise provided herein and in
Exhibit C), construct Tenant's Work as defined in and in accordance with the
---------
terms and conditions of the Workletter.

  5.2   Condition of Property.  Landlord shall deliver the Building Shell and
        ---------------------
other Improvements constructed by Landlord to Tenant clean and free of debris,
promptly upon completion of construction thereof, and Landlord warrants to
Tenant that the Building Shell and other Improvements constructed by Landlord
(i) shall be free from material structural defects and (ii) shall be constructed
in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable
specifications mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, subject to any changes
implemented in such specifications in accordance with the procedures set forth
in the Workletter.  If it is determined that this warranty has been violated in
any respect, then it shall be the obligation of Landlord, after receipt of
written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature of the
violation, to promptly, at Landlord's sole cost, correct the condition(s)
constituting such violation.  Tenant's failure to give such written notice to
Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date shall
give rise to a conclusive presumption that Landlord has complied with all
Landlord's obligations hereunder, except with respect to latent defects.
Landlord shall also assign to Tenant Landlord's rights under all contractor's
and other warranties relating to the Building Shell and other Improvements
constructed by Landlord (provided, however, that Landlord may reserve joint
                         --------
enforcement rights under such warranties to the extent of Landlord's continuing
obligations or warranties hereunder), and shall cooperate with Tenant in all
reasonable respects in any enforcement of such assigned warranties.  TENANT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WARRANTY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY LANDLORD AND THAT LANDLORD MAKES NO OTHER
WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.

  5.3   Compliance with Law.  Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Building
        -------------------
Shell and other Improvements constructed by Landlord (when constructed), as they
exist on the Commencement Date, but without regard to the use for which Tenant
will occupy the Property, shall not violate any covenants or restrictions of
record or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on the
Commencement Date.  Tenant warrants to Landlord that the Interior Improvements
and any other improvements constructed by Tenant from time to time shall not
violate any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on the
Commencement Date or at the time such improvements are placed in service.  If it
is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

shall be the obligation of the warranting party, after written notice from the
other party, to correct the condition(s) constituting such violation promptly,
at the warranting party's sole cost and expense. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or
warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Property for the conduct
of Tenant's business or proposed business thereon.


                             6.  EXPANSION BUILDING
                                 ------------------

  6.1   Lock-Up Option.  The parties acknowledge that Landlord may, subject to
        --------------
the terms hereof, construct a building on the Phase II Site, including (but not
limited to) a building in the area designated as "Building A" in Exhibit B
                                                                 ---------
attached hereto.  Tenant shall have four consecutive options (each, a "Lock-Up
Option") to prohibit Landlord from entering into an agreement with any party
other than Tenant for the sale or leasing of any such other building then
existing on or planned for the Phase II Site (in either case, the "Expansion
Building").  Upon Tenant's timely and proper exercise of a Lock-Up Option,
Landlord shall refrain from entering into such an agreement for a period of six
(6) months (a "Lock-Up Period").  Failure to exercise a Lock-Up Option on or
before the deadline determined under Section 6.2 shall result in the forfeiture
of that Lock-Up Option and all future Lock-Up Options, if any.

  6.2   Exercise.  To exercise a Lock-Up Option, Tenant shall provide written
        --------
notice to Landlord of such exercise.  In the case of the first Lock-Up Option,
Tenant must provide such notice not later than fifteen (15) days after a
certificate of occupancy or equivalent verbal or written permission to occupy
the Initial Building has been given by the City of South San Francisco to Tenant
(or, if the certificate of occupancy or equivalent permission is given to
Landlord, then within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written notice to
Tenant that such certificate of occupancy or equivalent permission has been
given); the first six-month Lock-Up Period shall begin, retroactively, as of the
date such certificate of occupancy or equivalent verbal or written permission is
given by the City of South San Francisco.  In the case of the subsequent Lock-Up
Options, Tenant must provide such notice not later than fifteen (15) days prior
to the final day of the Lock-Up Period then in effect.  Within ten (10) days
after such notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of
Landlord's estimate of the Carrying Costs (as defined in Section 6.3) for the
upcoming Lock-Up Period.  Tenant shall then pay such amount to Landlord within
five (5) days after receipt of such estimate.  A Lock-Up Option shall be deemed
validly exercised when and only when Tenant has timely paid such estimated
amount pertaining to the applicable Lock-Up Period to Landlord.  If Tenant is in
default hereunder on the date of its exercise notice or on the date any Lock-Up
Period is to commence, then the Lock-Up Option (and any future Lock-Up Options)
shall be of no force or effect.

  6.3   Carrying Costs.  As compensation for each Lock-Up Option, Tenant shall
        --------------
pay or reimburse to Landlord all Carrying Costs incurred by Landlord during or
with respect to the applicable Lock-Up Period, including (i) interest expense on
Landlord's construction financing for any site work, off-site improvements or
other construction (including, but not limited to,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

construction of the Expansion Building, if any) on the Phase II Site, (ii)
interest expense on Landlord's acquisition financing or refinancing for the
Phase II Site, and (iii) real property taxes, assessments and insurance on or
allocable to the Expansion Building and/or the Phase II Site; provided, however,
                                                              --------
that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Landlord an amount greater than
one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for Carrying Costs incurred during
or with respect to any single Lock-Up Period. Tenant shall pay Landlord's
estimated Carrying Costs for each applicable Lock-Up Period in advance as
contemplated in Section 6.2 hereof. Within ten (10) days after the end of each
Lock-Up Period, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's actual
Carrying Costs for such Lock-Up Period and within ten (10) days after such
notice either (i) Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount by which such actual
Carrying Costs exceeded the estimated Carrying Costs paid by Tenant for such
period, up to the $150,000 maximum set forth in this Section 6.3, or (ii)
Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount by which the estimated Carrying Costs paid
by Tenant exceeded the actual Carrying Costs for such period. If taxes or other
Carrying Costs allocable to any Lock-Up Period are increased or decreased (for
example, by a tax reduction or additional tax assessment) following completion
of the reconciliation process described in the preceding sentence, Landlord
shall promptly notify Tenant in writing of such further increase or decrease and
the parties shall make any further adjustment payments in cash in the same
manner contemplated in the preceding sentence.

  6.4   First Negotiation Right and First Refusal Right to Lease.
        --------------------------------------------------------

        (a) Landlord shall not lease all or any portion of the Expansion
Building at any time during the term of this Lease, except in compliance with
this Section 6.4; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not
apply during any period in which Tenant is in default under this Lease.

        (b) As specified in Section 6.1 hereof, during any Lock-Up Period duly
and timely elected by Tenant, Landlord shall have no right to agree to sell or
lease the Expansion Building to anyone other than Tenant, and therefore shall
have no right to invoke the first refusal right provisions in Section 6.4(c).
If, however, during any such Lock-Up Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing
of Tenant's desire to lease and occupy the Expansion Building, then Landlord and
Tenant shall negotiate diligently and in good faith concerning such terms,
subject to the following (unless otherwise mutually agreed by Landlord and
Tenant at the time):  Tenant shall have the option to have Landlord construct
the building shell for the Expansion Building on substantially the same economic
terms as the Initial Building, adjusted to reflect changes in costs of
construction and in cost of money (determined by reference to changes in the
Bank of America prime rate).  At the time the option is exercised, Landlord and
Tenant shall negotiate over tenant improvements and over any additional stock
warrants, but Landlord is not required to agree to construct or fund tenant
improvements and Tenant is not required to agree to have Landlord construct or
fund them.  The new lease shall have a primary term of 15 years.  Upon the
commencement of the lease term for the Expansion Building, the term of this
Lease for the Initial Building shall be extended, by amendment, to be
coterminous with the primary term of the new lease.  The initial rent on the
Expansion Building as of Tenant's occupancy shall take into account,

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

in addition to the cost factors mentioned above, any required construction or
funding of tenant improvements by Landlord, and shall also reflect any changes
in Tenant's financial condition at that time. In any event, however, the initial
rent on the Expansion Building shall be no less than the prevailing rent at that
time on the Initial Building, having regard for the fact that the Initial
Building included a tenant improvement allowance of $105 per square foot.

        (c) If, at any time during the term of this Lease after the expiration
of any and all available Lock-Up Periods, Landlord receives and wishes to accept
a bona fide written offer from a person or entity other than Tenant (the
  ---------
"Offeror") to lease all or any portion of the Expansion Building and if Tenant
is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall give written notice of
such offer to Tenant, specifying the material terms on which the Offeror
proposes to lease the Expansion Building or portion thereof (the "Offered
Space"), and shall offer to Tenant the opportunity to lease the Offered Space on
the terms specified in Landlord's notice.  For purposes of this Section 6.4(c),
an offer shall be considered bona fide if it is contained in a letter of intent
                             ---------
or other writing signed by the Offeror and specifies the material terms of such
proposed lease.  Tenant shall have fifteen (15) business days after the date of
giving of such notice by Landlord in which to accept such offer by written
notice to Landlord.  Upon such acceptance by Tenant, the Offered Space shall be
leased to Tenant on the terms set forth in Landlord's notice and on the
additional terms and provisions set forth in this Lease (except to the extent
inconsistent with the terms set forth in Landlord's said notice) and the parties
shall promptly execute an agreement containing the terms of Landlord's said
notice and all other terms and provisions of this Lease not inconsistent with
the terms of said notice, except as the parties may otherwise mutually agree.
If Tenant does not accept Landlord's offer within the allotted time, Landlord
shall thereafter have the right to lease the Offered Space to the Offeror, at
any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant's failure to accept
Landlord's offer, at a minimum rental and on other terms and conditions not more
favorable to the Offeror than the minimum rental and other terms offered to
Tenant in Landlord's said notice. If Tenant does not accept Landlord's offer and
Landlord does not lease the Offered Space to the Offeror within one hundred
eighty (180) days, this First Refusal Right shall reattach to that space.  This
First Refusal Right shall be applicable in the case of either an offer to lease
all or a portion of an already-built Expansion Building or an offer to enter
into a build-to-suit lease for the Expansion Building.  Tenant's failure, if
any, to exercise any or all Lock-Up Options shall not affect Tenant's First
Refusal Right under this Section 6.4.


                      7.  FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT TO PURCHASE
                          -------------------------------

  7.1   Sale Restriction.  Landlord shall not sell the Site, or any portion
        ----------------
thereof containing the Initial Building, the Expansion Building or both, at any
time during the term of this Lease, except in compliance with this Article 7;
provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply during any
period in which Tenant is in default under this Lease. The parties acknowledge
that the sale of any portion of the Site independent of the remainder of the
Site as a separate legal parcel would require a subdivision of the Site.  For
purposes of this Article 7, the terms "purchase," "sell" and "sale" shall be
construed to include, without limitation, any exchange transaction in which

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

Landlord transfers or conveys its interest in the Site (or any applicable
portion thereof) in exchange for other real property or other non-cash
consideration. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 7, the
provisions of this Article 7 shall not apply to any sale, transfer or other
conveyance of the Site or any portion thereof by Landlord to any person or
entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
Landlord, but the provisions of this Article 7 shall continue to apply to the
Site in the hands of such affiliated transferee.

  7.2   First Refusal Right.  If, at any time during the term of this Lease
        -------------------
after the expiration of any and all available Lock-Up Periods, Landlord receives
and wishes to accept a bona fide written offer from a person or entity other
                       ---------
than Tenant (the "Offeror") to purchase the Site, or any portion thereof
containing the Initial Building, the Expansion Building or both, and if Tenant
is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall give written notice of
such offer to Tenant, specifying the material terms on which the Offeror
proposes to purchase the Site or specified portion thereof (the "Offered
Property"), and shall offer to Tenant the opportunity to purchase the Offered
Property on the terms specified in Landlord's notice, as modified by Section 7.3
(if applicable).  For purposes of this Section 7.2, an offer shall be considered
bona fide if it is contained in a letter of intent or other writing signed by
---------
the Offeror and specifies the material terms of such proposed purchase.  Tenant
shall have twenty (20) days after the date of giving of such notice by Landlord
in which to accept such offer by written notice to Landlord.  Upon such
acceptance by Tenant, the Offered Property shall be sold to Tenant on the terms
set forth in Landlord's notice, as modified by Section 7.3 hereof (if
applicable), and the parties shall promptly execute an agreement containing the
terms of Landlord's said notice and such other reasonable and customary terms as
the parties shall agree.  If Tenant does not accept Landlord's offer within the
allotted time, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to sell the Offered
Property to the Offeror, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after
Tenant's failure to accept Landlord's offer, at a price and on other terms and
conditions not more favorable to the Offeror than the price and other terms of
the original offer specified in Landlord's said notice.  If Tenant does not
accept Landlord's offer and Landlord does not sell the Offered Property to the
Offeror within one hundred eighty (180) days, this First Refusal Right shall
reattach to the Offered Property.  Tenant's failure, if any, to exercise any or
all Lock-Up Options shall not affect Tenant's First Refusal Right under this
Section 7.2.

  7.3   Discount on Purchase Price.  If, at the time Landlord is required to
        --------------------------
give Tenant a notice specified in Section 7.2, Tenant has at least one class of
equity securities listed on any national stock exchange, the NASDAQ National
Market System or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, or registered for public trading
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Tenant has
received gross revenues of at least one hundred fifty million dollars
($150,000,000) during Tenant's most recently completed fiscal year, then the
price at which Tenant is entitled to purchase the Offered Property pursuant to
the notice specified in Section 7.2 shall be four percent (4%) lower than the
price specified in the bona fide offer.  For purposes of this Section 7.3,
                       ---------
"gross revenues" shall include equity investments, research and development
funding, milestone payments and royalty revenue.

                                     -12-

                                   8.  TAXES
                                       -----

  8.1   Personal Property.  Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior
        -----------------
to delinquency all taxes and assessments levied against or by reason of (a) any
and all alterations, additions and items installed or placed on the Property and
taxed as personal property rather than as real property, and/or (b) all personal
property, trade fixtures and other property placed by Tenant on or about the
Property.  Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
satisfactory evidence of Tenant's payment thereof.  If at any time during the
term of this Lease any of said alterations, additions or personal property,
whether or not belonging to Tenant, shall be taxed or assessed as part of the
Property, then such tax or assessment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
immediately upon presentation by Landlord of copies of the tax bills in which
such taxes and assessments are included and shall, for the purposes of this
Lease, be deemed to be personal property taxes or assessments under this Section
8.1.

  8.2   Real Property.  To the extent any real property taxes and assessments on
        -------------
the Property (including, but not limited to, the Improvements) are assessed
directly to Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to
delinquency all such taxes and assessments levied against the Property.  Upon
request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of
Tenant's payment thereof.  To the extent the Property and/or Improvements are
taxed or assessed to Landlord following the Commencement Date, such real
property taxes and assessments shall constitute Operating Expenses (as that term
is defined in Section 9.2 of this Lease) and shall be paid in accordance with
the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease.


                             9.  OPERATING EXPENSES
                                 ------------------

  9.1   Liability For Operating Expenses.
        --------------------------------

        (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the time and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, as additional rental, an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) ("Tenant's Operating Cost Share") of the Operating Expenses
defined in Section 9.2.

        (b) If Landlord constructs additional buildings on the Phase II Site or
on any other adjacent property owned by Landlord and operated, for common area
purposes, on an integrated basis with the Phase I Site, Landlord and Tenant
shall negotiate in good faith concerning the reasonable and appropriate
treatment of any taxes, insurance or other operating expense items that are
allocable both to the Phase I Site and to any such additional buildings or
properties.  To the extent appropriate, except as otherwise agreed in any such
negotiations by Landlord and Tenant, the definition of Operating Expenses in
Section 9.2 shall be expanded to include items attributable to such additional
buildings or properties and Tenant's Operating Cost Share shall be adjusted from
time to time to be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the square
footage of the Initial Building as it then exists by the square footage of all
buildings located on portions of the Site owned by Landlord or on any applicable
adjacent property owned by Landlord as described above.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

In determining such percentage, a building shall be taken into account from and
after the date on which a tenant first enters into possession of the building or
a portion thereof, and the square footage of any such building shall be measured
or determined in accordance with the same BOMA standard applicable to the
measurement of the Initial Building under Section 1.1(a) hereof.

  9.2   Definition Of Operating Expenses.  Subject to the exclusions and
        --------------------------------
provisions hereinafter contained, the term "Operating Expenses" shall mean the
total costs and expenses incurred by or allocable to Landlord for operation and
maintenance of the Improvements and the Property, including, without limitation,
costs and expenses of (i) operation, repair and maintenance of the roof
(structural portions only), exterior walls and other structural portions of the
Initial Building; (ii) liability, casualty or other insurance (including, but
not limited to, earthquake insurance if Landlord in its discretion elects to
carry such insurance, which it is Landlord's present intention to do, so long as
such insurance is reasonably available in the commercial insurance markets)
carried by Landlord with respect to the Property, the Improvements or any
portion thereof; (iii) real and personal property taxes and assessments or
substitutes therefor levied or assessed against the Property or any part
thereof, including (but not limited to) any possessory interest, use, business,
license or other taxes or fees, any taxes imposed directly on rents or services,
any assessments or charges for police or fire protection, housing, transit, open
space, street or sidewalk construction or maintenance or other similar services
from time to time by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity, and any
other new taxes on landlords in addition to taxes now in effect; (iv) supplies,
equipment, utilities and tools used in operation, repair and maintenance of the
roof (structural portions only), exterior walls and other structural portions of
the Initial Building; (v) capital improvements to the Property or the
Improvements, amortized over their respective useful lives, (aa) which reduce or
will cause future reduction of other items of Operating Expenses for which
Tenant is otherwise required to contribute (but not in excess of the cost
savings realized) or (bb) which are required by law, ordinance, regulation or
order of any governmental authority enacted after the date of this Lease; and
(vi) any other costs (including, but not limited to, any parking or utilities
fees or surcharges) allocable to or paid by Landlord, as owner of the Property
or Improvements, pursuant to any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations or
orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or pursuant to the
terms of any declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions now or
hereafter affecting either the Property or any other property described in
Section 9.1(b) or over which Tenant has non-exclusive usage rights as
contemplated in Section 1.1(b) hereof.  The distinction between items of
ordinary operating maintenance and repair and items of a capital nature shall be
made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.2,
Operating Expenses shall not include any costs attributable to work for which
Landlord is required to pay under Section 5.1 or Exhibit C; any management fees;
                                                 ---------
depreciation on buildings (other than depreciation on personal property); costs
of tenants' improvements; interest; capital items (other than as expressly
provided above); payments on debt (principal or interest); leasing commissions;
costs of goods and services (including utilities) for which Landlord is
reimbursed by tenants or occupants other than Tenant; costs incurred to perform
or correct Landlord's Work described in Section 5.1 and Exhibit C; costs of
                                                        ---------
correcting defects in or inadequacy of the initial design of the structure of
the Initial Building; legal fees; amounts paid to

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

affiliates of Landlord (i.e., persons or companies controlled by, under common
control with, or which control, Landlord) for services on or to the Initial
Building, except to the extent that the costs of such services do not exceed
competitive costs of such services were they rendered by a non-affiliate of
Landlord; expenses in connection with services or other benefits provided to one
or more other tenants but not generally available to Tenant; space planning
fees, architectural fees, engineering fees (other than those relating to the
general operation of buildings or common areas), marketing, advertising or any
other expenses incurred in connection with the development or leasing of any
buildings or improvements; costs associated with the operation of the business
of the legal entity which constitutes Landlord as the same is separate and apart
from the costs and operation of the Initial Building, including legal entity
formation and internal entity accounting; any late fees or penalties or similar
fees incurred by Landlord, except to the extent attributable to Tenant's late
payment or nonpayment of minimum rental or additional rent; any debt losses,
rent losses or reserves for bad debt; the cost of any repairs in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease relating to fire, casualty and/or condemnation;
Landlord's incremental costs incurred by reason of Landlord's breach of any
leases with other tenants, and any costs incurred by reason of the breach by
other tenants of such tenants' leases (to the extent recoverable from such
tenants); or any unrecovered expenses incurred as a consequence of the grossly
negligent operation and maintenance, by Landlord or its employees, of those
portions of the Initial Building required to be maintained by Landlord.

  9.3   Determination and Payment Of Operating Expenses.
        -----------------------------------------------

        (a) Beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter from time to time
during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of
amounts paid or to be paid by Landlord for insurance premiums, taxes, structural
repair or maintenance costs or any other amount constituting an Operating
Expense under Section 9.2 hereof, accompanied by copies of premium notices, tax
statements, contractor's invoices or other documentation reasonably evidencing
the amount of the applicable Operating Expense payment, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Tenant's Operating Cost Share of each such item of Operating Expenses.
Such payment by Tenant shall be due on or before the later to occur of (i) ten
(10) days after delivery of Landlord's written notice to Tenant or (ii) fourteen
(14) days before the date on which the applicable Operating Expense payment by
Landlord is due (in the case of insurance premiums or other payments to private
parties) or would become delinquent (in the case of taxes or assessments).  In
the event of any subsequent rebate, refund, adjustment or surcharge with respect
to any item of Operating Expenses allocable to any portion of the term of this
Lease, the amount of such rebate, refund, adjustment or surcharge shall be for
Tenant's benefit or account, as the case may be, and shall be adjusted promptly
by a cash payment from Landlord to Tenant or from Tenant to Landlord, as the
case may be.

        (b) Tenant shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, upon
reasonable written notice to Landlord and during normal business hours at
Landlord's office or such other places as Landlord shall designate, to inspect
and examine those books and records of Landlord relating to the determination
and payment of Operating Expenses relating to this Lease, the

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

Property and/or any other properties described in Section 9.1(b). If, after
inspection and examination of such books and records, Tenant disputes the amount
of any such Operating Expenses charged by Landlord and the parties are not able
to resolve such dispute by good faith negotiations within (30) days after Tenant
notifies Landlord in writing of the disputed items, then Tenant may, by written
notice to Landlord, request an independent audit of such books and records. The
independent audit of the books and records shall be conducted by a certified
public accountant acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant or, if the parties are
unable to agree, by a "Big Six" accounting firm designated by Landlord and not
then employed by Landlord or Tenant. The audit shall be limited to the
determination of the amount of Operating Expenses specified by Tenant in its
notice of objection. If the audit discloses that the amount of Operating
Expenses billed to Tenant was incorrect, the appropriate party shall promptly
pay to the other party the deficiency or overpayment, as applicable. All costs
and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that
Landlord overstated Operating Expenses covered by the audit by more than five
percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of the
audit.

  9.4   Proration.  If the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first
        ---------
day of an insurance coverage period, tax fiscal year or other period to which an
Operating Expense is allocable or attributable, or if this Lease terminates on a
day other than the last day of an insurance coverage period, tax fiscal year or
other period to which an Operating Expense is allocable or attributable, then
the amount of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant with respect to such first or
last partial insurance coverage period, tax fiscal year or other period shall be
prorated on the basis which the number of days during such insurance coverage
period, tax fiscal year or other period in which this Lease is in effect bears
to the total number of days in such insurance coverage period, tax fiscal year
or other period.


                                 10.  UTILITIES
                                      ---------

  10.1  Payment.  Commencing with the Commencement Date and thereafter
        -------
throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all
charges for water, gas, heat, light, electricity, power, sewer, telephone, alarm
system, janitorial and other services or utilities supplied to or consumed in or
upon the Property (including any separately metered costs for water, electricity
or other services or utilities furnished with respect to the Common Areas),
including any taxes on such services and utilities.

  10.2  Interruption.  There shall be no abatement of rent or other charges
        ------------
required to be paid hereunder and Landlord shall not be liable in damages or
otherwise for interruption or failure of any service or utility furnished to or
used in the Property because of accident, making of repairs, alterations or

                            11.  ALTERATIONS; SIGNS
                                 ------------------

  11.1  Right To Make Alterations.  Tenant shall make no alterations, additions
        -------------------------
or improvements to the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Tenant
shall not be required to obtain such consent for interior non-structural
alterations costing less than Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) in the
aggregate during any twelve (12) month period.  All such alterations, additions
and improvements shall be completed with due diligence in a first-class
workmanlike manner and in compliance with plans and specifications approved in
writing by Landlord and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations,
and to the extent Landlord's consent is not otherwise required hereunder for
such alterations, additions or improvements, Tenant shall give prompt written
notice thereof to Landlord for purposes of Section 11.2 hereof.  Tenant shall
cause any contractors engaged by Tenant for work on the Property to maintain
public liability and property damage insurance, and other customary insurance,
with such terms and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require, naming
Landlord and its partners, shareholders, agents and employees as additional
insureds, and shall furnish Landlord with certificates of insurance or other
evidence that such coverage is in effect.  Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Section 11.1, under no circumstances shall Tenant make any structural
alterations or improvements, or any substantial changes to the roof or
substantial equipment installations on the roof, or any substantial changes or
alterations to building systems, without Landlord's prior written consent.

  11.2  Title To Alterations.  All alterations, additions and improvements
        --------------------
installed in, on or about the Property shall be part of the Improvements and the
property of Landlord, unless Landlord elects to require Tenant to remove the
same upon the termination of this Lease, which election shall be made by
Landlord concurrently with its consent to such alterations, additions or
improvements or, if no such consent is required, then within fifteen (15) days
after Landlord is advised in writing of such alterations, additions or
improvements as contemplated in Section 11.1 hereof; provided, however, that the
                                                     --------
foregoing shall not apply (i) to Tenant's movable furniture and trade fixtures
not affixed to the Property, or (ii) to any of the Interior Improvements (as
defined in Exhibit C hereto), or any subsequent improvements installed by Tenant
           ---------
at its own expense, which are readily movable, are not an integral part of the
Initial Building's structure or interior architectural improvements, and are not
an integral part of the Initial Building's HVAC, plumbing or electrical systems
or other standard operating systems.  All of such items described in clause (i)
or (ii) of the preceding sentence (in all events including, but not limited to,
lab benches, fume hoods and cold rooms) may (and, if duly elected by Landlord
hereunder, shall) be removed by Tenant upon the termination of this Lease.
Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by its removal of any such
improvements.

  11.3  Tenant Fixtures.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.1 and
        ---------------
11.2, Tenant may install, remove and reinstall trade fixtures without Landlord's
prior written consent, except that any fixtures which are affixed to the
Property or which affect the exterior or structural portions of the Initial
Building or the building systems shall require Landlord's written approval.  The
foregoing shall apply to Tenant's signs, logos and insignia, all of which Tenant
shall have the right

                                     -17-
<PAGE>

to place and remove and replace (a) only with Landlord's prior written consent
as to location, size and composition, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and (b) only in compliance with all restrictions and
requirements of applicable law and of any covenants, conditions and restrictions
or other written agreements now or hereafter applicable to the Property. Tenant
shall immediately repair any damage caused by installation and removal of
fixtures under this Section 11.3.

  11.4  No Liens.  Tenant shall at all times keep the Property free from all
        --------
liens and claims of any contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or
any other parties employed either directly or indirectly by Tenant in
construction work on the Property.  Tenant may contest any claim of lien, but
only if, prior to such contest, Tenant either (i) posts security in the amount
of the claim, plus estimated costs and interest, or (ii) records a bond of a
responsible corporate surety in such amount as may be required to release the
lien from the Property.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost and other expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of claims
of any lien for work performed or materials or supplies furnished at the request
of Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant.

  11.5  Signs.  Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section
        -----
11.3 hereof, Tenant shall have the right to display its corporate name and logo
on the Initial Building and in front of the entrance to the Initial Building,
subject to Landlord's prior approval as to location, size and composition (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and subject to all
restrictions and requirements of applicable law and of any covenants, conditions
and restrictions or other written agreements now or hereafter applicable to the
Property.  Landlord is hereby deemed to have approved, as to location, any
signage the location of which is expressly designated on the site plan attached
hereto as Exhibit B or on any Approved Plan developed pursuant to the Workletter
          ---------
executed concurrently herewith.


                          12.  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
                               -----------------------

  12.1  Landlord's Work.
        ---------------

        (a) Landlord shall repair and maintain or cause to be repaired and
maintained the roof (structural portions only), exterior walls and other
structural portions of the Initial Building.  The cost of all work performed by
Landlord under this Section 12.1 shall be an Operating Expense hereunder, except
to the extent such work (i) is required due to the negligence of Landlord, (ii)
is a capital expense not includible as an Operating Expense under Section 9.2
hereof, or (iii) is required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or its agents, employees or invitees (in which event Tenant shall bear
the full cost of such work pursuant to the indemnification provided in Section
14.6 hereof).  Tenant knowingly and voluntarily waives the right to make repairs
at Landlord's expense, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section
12.1(b), or to offset the cost thereof against rent, under any law, statute,
regulation or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.


                                     -18-
<PAGE>

        (b) If Landlord fails to perform any repairs or maintenance required to
be performed by Landlord under Section 12.1(a) and such failure continues for
thirty (30) days or more after Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such
failure (or, if such repairs or maintenance cannot reasonably be performed
within such 30-day period, then if Landlord fails to commence performance within
such 30-day period and thereafter to pursue such performance diligently to
completion), then Tenant shall have the right to perform such repairs or
maintenance and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost thereof
within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Tenant of the completion and
cost of such work, accompanied by copies of invoices or other reasonable
supporting documentation.  Under no circumstances, however, shall Tenant have
any right to offset the cost of any such work against rent or other charges
falling due from time to time under this Lease.

  12.2  Tenant's Obligation For Maintenance.
        -----------------------------------

        (a) Good Order, Condition And Repair.  Except as provided in Section
            --------------------------------
12.1 hereof, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall keep and maintain in good
and sanitary order, condition and repair the Property and every part thereof,
wherever located, including but not limited to the Common Areas of the Phase I
Site, the roof (non-structural portions only), signs, interior, ceiling,
electrical system, plumbing system, telephone and communications systems of the
Initial Building, the HVAC equipment and related mechanical systems serving the
Initial Building (for which equipment and systems Tenant shall enter into a
service contract with a person or entity designated or approved by Landlord),
all doors, door checks, windows, plate glass, door fronts, exposed plumbing and
sewage and other utility facilities, fixtures, lighting, wall surfaces, floor
surfaces and ceiling surfaces of the Initial Building and all other interior
repairs, foreseen and unforeseen, with respect to the Initial Building, as
required.  If the Expansion Building is constructed by Landlord and is not
occupied by Tenant, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate diligently and in
good faith to reach a reasonable arrangement for the maintenance and repair of
the Common Areas of the entire Site and a reasonable allocation of the cost of
such maintenance and repair between the Initial Building and the Expansion
Building.

        (b) Landlord's Remedy.  If Tenant, after notice from Landlord, fails to
            -----------------
make or perform promptly any repairs or maintenance which are the obligation of
Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be required, to
enter the Property and make the repairs or perform the maintenance necessary to
restore the Property to good and sanitary order, condition and repair.
Immediately on demand from Landlord, the cost of such repairs shall be due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord.

        (c) Condition Upon Surrender.  At the expiration or sooner termination
            ------------------------
of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Property, including any additions,
alterations and improvements thereto, broom clean, in good and sanitary order,
condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, first, however, removing
all goods and effects of Tenant and all and fixtures and items required to be
removed pursuant to this Lease (including, but not limited to, any such removal

                                     -19-
<PAGE>

required as a result of an election duly made by Landlord to require such
removal as contemplated in Section 11.2), and repairing any damage caused by
such removal. Tenant shall not have the right to remove fixtures or equipment if
Tenant is in default hereunder unless Landlord specifically waives this
provision in writing. Tenant expressly waives any and all interest in any
personal property and trade fixtures not removed from the Property by Tenant at
the expiration or termination of this Lease, agrees that any such personal
property and trade fixtures may, at Landlord's election, be deemed to have been
abandoned by Tenant, and authorizes Landlord (at its election and without
prejudice to any other remedies under this Lease or under applicable law) to
remove and either retain, store or dispose of such property at Tenant's cost and
expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting
from any such removal, storage, retention or disposal.


                              13.  USE OF PROPERTY
                                   ---------------

trade, business, manufacture, occupation, odor or fumes, or any nuisance or
anything against public policy, nor interfere with the rights or business of
Landlord in the Initial Building or the Property, nor commit or allow to be
committed any waste in, on or about the Property.  Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Property, nor bring nor keep anything
therein, which will in any way cause the Property to be uninsurable with respect
to the insurance required by this Lease or with respect to standard fire and
extended coverage insurance with vandalism, malicious mischief and riot
endorsements.

  13.4  Compliance With Laws.  Tenant shall not use the Property or permit the

governmental agency or public authority.  Tenant shall keep the Property

Tenant's particular use of the Property.  Tenant shall procure all licenses and
permits required for use of the Property.  Tenant shall use the Property in

hereafter be in force pertaining to the use of the Property by Tenant,

air pollution, and making such nonstructural alterations and additions thereto
as may be required from time to time by such laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations and requirements of governmental authorities or insurers of the
Property (collectively, "Requirements") because of Tenant's construction of
improvements in or other particular use of the Property. Any structural
alterations or additions required from time to time by applicable Requirements
because of Tenant's construction of improvements in or other particular use of
the Property shall, at Landlord's election, either (i) be made by Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, in accordance with the procedures and standards
set forth in Section 11.1 for alterations by Tenant, or (ii) be made by Landlord
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord
as additional rent, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, an amount
equal to all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such
alterations or additions. The judgment of any court, or the admission by Tenant
in any proceeding against Tenant, that Tenant has violated any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement shall be conclusive of
such violation as between Landlord and Tenant.

Landlord or its agents or employees.

        (d) In the event of any third-party claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, costs, legal fees and expenses of any sort (including, but not
limited to, costs incurred with respect to any government-mandated remediation),
against either Landlord or Tenant or both, arising out of or relating to (i) the
presence on the Property of any hazardous substances or wastes or radiation or
radioactive materials not present on the Property as of the Commencement Date
(except to the extent the presence thereof is already covered by an express
indemnification obligation under Section 13.6(b)(viii) or Section 13.6(c), as
applicable), and/or (ii) any unauthorized release into the environment
(including, but not limited to, the Site) of any hazardous substances or wastes
or radiation or radioactive materials (except to the extent such release is
already covered by an express indemnification obligation under Section
13.6(b)(viii) or Section 13.6(c), as applicable), then (x) Landlord and Tenant
shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith in the defense of such third-party
claims, liabilities and related matters and (y) Landlord and Tenant shall each
bear fifty percent

                                     -25-
<PAGE>

(50%) of the total claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, legal fees and
expenses incurred by Landlord and/or Tenant in connection with matters covered
by this Section 13.6(d). For purposes of the sharing of expenses contemplated in
clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the party directly paying or incurring
such costs or expenses shall be entitled to invoice the other party from time to
time (on a monthly basis or at other appropriate intervals) for such other
party's respective share thereof, which invoice shall be accompanied by copies
of third-party invoices or other reasonable documentation supporting the
invoiced amounts, and the party receiving such invoice shall pay its share as
reflected in the applicable invoice within fifteen (15) days after receipt
thereof, unless the parties agree otherwise. Within three (3) months after
receipt of any such invoice, the party receiving the invoice shall be entitled,
upon reasonable written notice and during normal business hours, to inspect and
examine the books and records of the party submitting the invoice with respect
to the invoiced amounts. Any dispute with respect thereto that the parties are
unable to resolve by good faith negotiations shall be resolved by an independent
audit using the same procedure set forth in Section 9.3(b).


                          14.  INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
                               -----------------------

  14.1  Liability and Property Insurance.
        --------------------------------

        (a) Tenant shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the term of this Lease, at Tenant's cost and expense, commercial
general liability insurance to protect against liability arising out of or
related to the use of or resulting from any accident occurring in, upon or about
the Property, with combined single limit of liability of not less than Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property
damage.  Such insurance shall name Landlord and its partners, shareholders,
agents and employees as additional insureds thereunder.  The amount of such
insurance shall not be construed to limit any liability or obligation of Tenant
under this Lease.  Tenant shall also procure and maintain in full force and
effect at all times during the term of this Lease, at Tenant's cost and expense,
product liability insurance on terms and in amounts satisfactory to Landlord in
its reasonable discretion.

        (b) Landlord shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the term of this Lease, at Landlord's cost and expense (but
reimbursable as an Operating Expense under Section 9.2 hereof), commercial
general liability insurance to protect against liability arising out of or
related to the use of or resulting from any accident occurring in, upon or about
the Property, with combined single limit of liability of not less than Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property
damage.

        (c) Landlord shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the term of this Lease, at Landlord's cost and expense (but
reimbursable as an Operating Expense under Section 9.2 hereof), fire and
extended coverage insurance for the Building Shell (as defined in Exhibit C) and
                                                                  ---------
for the improvements in the Common Areas of the Property on a full replacement
cost basis, and for the Interior Improvements in an amount not less than the
total amount

                                     -26-
<PAGE>

contributed by Landlord toward the payment for the Interior Improvements
pursuant to Exhibit C. Such insurance may include earthquake coverage to
            ---------
the extent Landlord in its discretion elects to carry such coverage, and shall
have such deductibles and other terms as Landlord in its discretion determines
to be appropriate. Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph (c), Landlord
shall have no obligation to insure the Interior Improvements and shall, in all
events, have no obligation to insure any other alterations, additions or
improvements installed by Tenant on or about the Property.

        (d) Tenant shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the term of this Lease, at Tenant's cost and expense, fire and
extended coverage insurance for the Interior Improvements in an amount not less
than the full replacement cost thereof, less the amount of coverage required to
be carried on the Interior Improvements by Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1(c),
and shall have sole responsibility for insurance coverage of any other
alterations, additions or improvements installed by Tenant on the Property to
the extent Tenant deems such coverage appropriate.  Tenant's insurance under
this paragraph (d) may include earthquake coverage to the extent Tenant in its
discretion elects to carry such coverage, and shall have such deductibles and
other terms as Tenant in its discretion determines to be appropriate.

        (e) All policies of property insurance carried under paragraphs (c) and
(d) of this Section 14.1 shall provide protection against "all perils of direct
physical damage" (as defined by the Insurance Services Office) on all insured
property.  Each insuring party shall cause the other party to be named as an
additional insured on such policy to the extent of the coverage for the Interior
Improvements.  Replacement cost for purposes hereof shall be determined
periodically on such reasonable basis as Landlord and Tenant may determine.
Such insurance policies (i) shall be written by companies rated B+ or better,
with a financial rating of not less than Class VII, in "Best's Insurance Guide,"
and authorized to do business in California; (ii) shall be written to apply to
covered property damage and other covered loss occurring during the policy term,
or the onset of which occurred or arose during such policy term; (iii) shall be
endorsed, in the case of Tenant's property insurance, to name Landlord's lender
("Lender"), if any, holding the lien of a mortgage or deed of trust on the
Building and Interior Improvements from time to time as a loss payee, provided
that a condition of such endorsement shall be that at all times during the
effectiveness of the endorsement there shall be in full force and effect an
agreement among Landlord, Tenant and Lender pursuant to which Lender agrees
that, in the event of an insured occurrence, Lender will make available to
Tenant such part or all of the proceeds of insurance on the Interior
Improvements which are received by Lender as are required for the repair or
replacement of the Interior Improvements, except as otherwise provided in
Section 17.1 hereof in the event of a termination of this Lease; (iv) shall
provide that the respective coverages shall be primary and not contributing with
or in excess of any coverage that the other party may carry; (v) shall be
endorsed to provide the other party with not less than thirty (30) days' notice
of cancellation; and (vi) shall provide for a deductible of not to exceed
$10,000 (except in the case of earthquake coverage).  Each party shall deliver
to the other party, on or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter at least
ten (10) days before the expiration dates of expiring policies, certificates of
insurance or other satisfactory evidence of the continuation of such property
insurance coverage for the period indicated therein.

                                     -27-
<PAGE>

If either party fails to procure property insurance or to deliver certificates
or other evidence thereof as required hereunder, the other party may, at its
option and in addition to the other party's other remedies in the event of a
default hereunder, procure the same for the benefit of such party. If, pursuant
to the foregoing sentence, Tenant secures such insurance on Landlord's behalf,
Tenant shall not be entitled to reimbursement of the cost thereof; if Landlord
secures such insurance on Tenant's behalf, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
the cost thereof within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord's
invoice therefor.

  14.2  Quality Of Policies And Certificates.  All policies of insurance
        ------------------------------------
required hereunder shall be issued by responsible insurers and, in the case of
policies carried or required to be carried by Tenant, shall be written as
primary policies not contributing with and not in excess of any coverage that
Landlord may carry.  Each party shall deliver to the other party certificates of
insurance showing that the insuring party's required policies are in effect.  If
either party fails to acquire, maintain or renew any insurance required to be
maintained by it under this Article 14 or to pay the premium therefor, then the
other party, at its option and in addition to its other remedies, but without
obligation so to do, may procure such insurance, and any sums expended by
Landlord to procure any such insurance on behalf of or in place of Tenant shall
be repaid upon demand, with interest as provided in Section 3.2 hereof.  Tenant
shall obtain written undertakings from each insurer under policies required to
be maintained by it to notify all insureds thereunder at least thirty (30) days
prior to cancellation.

  14.3  Workers' Compensation.  Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect
        ---------------------
during the term of this Lease workers' compensation insurance covering all of
Tenant's employees working on the Property, with a minimum limit of liability of
not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per accident/disease.

  14.4  Waiver Of Subrogation.  To the extent permitted by law and without
        ---------------------
affecting the coverage provided by insurance required to be maintained
hereunder, Landlord and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other
(i) damage to property, (ii) damage to the Property or any part thereof, or
(iii) claims arising by reason of any of the foregoing, but only to the extent
that any of the foregoing damages and claims under subparts (i)-(iii) hereof are
covered, and only to the extent of such coverage, by insurance actually carried
or required to be carried hereunder by either Landlord or Tenant.  This
provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of each party, any
rights and claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in any
insurance carrier.  Each party shall procure a clause or endorsement on any
property insurance policy denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against
the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to
the occurrence of injury or loss.  Coverage provided by insurance maintained by
Tenant shall not be limited, reduced or diminished by virtue of the subrogation
waiver herein contained.

  14.5  Increase In Premiums.  Tenant shall do all acts and pay all expenses
        --------------------
necessary to insure that the Property is not used for purposes prohibited by any
applicable fire insurance, and that Tenant's use of the Property complies with
all requirements necessary to obtain any such insurance.  If Tenant uses or
permits the Property to be used in a manner which increases the existing rate of

                                     -28-
<PAGE>

any insurance on the Property carried by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the amount
of the increase in premium caused thereby, and Landlord's costs of obtaining
other replacement insurance policies, including any increase in premium, within
ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord.

  14.6  Indemnification.
        ---------------

        (a) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its partners,
shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any and
all liability for bodily injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage
to the property of persons, and all actions, claims, demands, costs (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees), damages or expenses arising
therefrom which may be brought or made against Landlord or which Landlord may
pay or incur by reason of the use, occupancy and enjoyment of the Property by
Tenant or any invitees, sublessees, agents or employees of Tenant or holding
under Tenant from any cause whatsoever other than negligence or willful
misconduct or omission by Landlord, its agents or employees.  Landlord, its
partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees shall not be
liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such persons for,
damages to goods, wares and merchandise in or upon the Property, or for injuries
to Tenant, its agents or third persons in or upon the Property, from any cause
whatsoever other than negligence or willful misconduct or omission by Landlord,
its agents or employees.  Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any
casualty or accident in, on or about the Property.

        (b) Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its shareholders,
officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from liability for bodily
injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to the property of
persons, and all actions, claims, demands, costs (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees), damages or expenses arising therefrom which may be
brought or made against Tenant or which Tenant may pay or incur, to the extent
such liabilities or other matters arise by reason of any negligence or willful
misconduct or omission by Landlord, its agents or employees.

  14.7  Blanket Policy.  Any policy required to be maintained hereunder may be
        --------------
maintained under a so-called "blanket policy" insuring other parties and other
locations so long as the amount of insurance required to be provided hereunder
is not thereby diminished.

                          15.  SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT
                               -----------------------

  15.1  Assignment And Sublease Of Property.  Tenant shall not have the right or
        -----------------------------------
power to assign its interest in this Lease, or make any sublease of the Property
or any portion thereof, nor shall any interest of Tenant under this Lease be
assignable involuntarily or by operation of law, without on each occasion
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any purported sublease or assignment of
Tenant's interest in this Lease requiring but not having received Landlord's
consent thereto shall be void.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Landlord may withhold consent to any proposed subletting or
assignment solely on the ground, if applicable, that the use by the proposed
subtenant or assignee is reasonably likely to be incompatible with Landlord's
use of any adjacent property owned or operated by Landlord, unless the proposed
use is within the permitted uses specified in Section 13.1, in which event it
shall not be reasonable for Landlord to object to the proposed use.  Any
dissolution, consolidation, merger or other reorganization of Tenant, or any
sale or transfer of the stock of or other interest in Tenant, or any series of
one or more of such events, involving in the aggregate a change of fifty percent
(50%) or more in the beneficial ownership of Tenant or its assets shall be
deemed to be an assignment hereunder and shall be void without the prior written
consent of Landlord as required above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) an
initial public offering of the common stock of Tenant shall not be deemed to be
an assignment hereunder; and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to assign this
Lease or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's consent
(but with prior or concurrent written notice by Tenant to Landlord), to any
entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant,
or to any entity which results from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to
any entity engaged in a joint venture with Tenant, or to any entity which
acquires substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, as a going concern,
with respect to the business that is being conducted on the Property
(hereinafter each a "Permitted Transfer").  In addition, a sale or transfer of
the capital stock of Tenant shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer if (x) such
sale or transfer occurs in connection with any bona fide financing or
                                               ---------
capitalization for the benefit of Tenant, or (y) Tenant becomes a publicly
traded corporation.  Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease in
connection with, and shall have no right to any sums or other economic
consideration resulting from, any Permitted Transfer.  Except as expressly set
forth in this Section 15.1, however, the provisions of Section 15.2 shall remain
applicable to any Permitted Transfer and the transferee under such Permitted
Transfer shall be and remain subject to all of the terms and provisions of this
Lease.

  15.2  Rights Of Landlord.  Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of
        ------------------
this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Property or any portion
thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall
not operate to exhaust Landlord's rights under this Article 15, nor constitute
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenant's
interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations
hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord
to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights
against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlord's consent
thereto is given or required to be given hereunder.  In the event of a default
by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of
any of the

                                     -30-
<PAGE>

terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed
directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any
such assignee, sublessee or other successor.  In addition, Tenant immediately
and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Property as
permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenant's assignee and as attorney-
in-fact for Tenant, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's
application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations
under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by
Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all
sublease profits.


                    16.  RIGHT OF ENTRY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT
                         ----------------------------------

  16.1  Right Of Entry.  Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have
        --------------
the right to enter the Property at any time during the term of this Lease during
normal business hours and upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior
notice, except in the case of emergency (in which event no notice shall be
required and entry may be made at any time), for the purpose of inspecting and
determining the condition of the Property or for any other proper purpose
including, without limitation, to make repairs, replacements or improvements
which Landlord may deem necessary, to show the Property to prospective
purchasers, to show the Property to prospective tenants (but only during the
final year of the term of this Lease), and to post notices of nonresponsibility.
Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of
business, quiet enjoyment or other damage or loss to Tenant by reason of making
any repairs or performing any work upon the Initial Building or the Property or
by reason of erecting or maintaining any protective barricades in connection
with any such work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
thereby be affected in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize the inconvenience to Tenant's normal business
operations caused thereby.

  16.2  Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying the rent
        ---------------
and performing its obligations hereunder and subject to all the terms and
conditions of this Lease, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Property throughout the term of this Lease, or until this Lease is terminated as
provided by this Lease.

                            17.  CASUALTY AND TAKING
                                 -------------------

  17.1  Damage or Destruction.
        ---------------------

        (a) If the Initial Building, or the Common Areas of the Property
necessary for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Initial Building, are damaged or
destroyed in whole or in part under circumstances in which (i) repair and
restoration is permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and
building codes then in effect and (ii) repair and restoration reasonably can be
completed within a period of one (1) year following the date of the occurrence,
then Landlord, as to the Common Areas of the Property and the Building Shell,
and Tenant, as to the Interior Improvements, shall commence and complete, with
all due diligence and as promptly as is reasonably practicable under the
conditions then existing, all such repair and restoration as may be required to
return the affected portions of the Property to the condition existing
immediately prior to the occurrence.  In connection with any such reconstruction
of the Interior Improvements, Landlord shall use its best efforts (including,
without limitation, any necessary negotiation or intercession with Landlord's
Lender, if any) to promptly make any proceeds of Landlord's property insurance
with respect to the Interior Improvements (up to a maximum amount equal to the
amounts originally contributed by Landlord toward the construction of the
Interior Improvements) available to Tenant for such reconstruction, subject only
to such payment controls as Landlord and its Lender and insurer, or any of them,
may reasonably require in order to ensure the proper application of such
proceeds toward the reconstruction of the Interior Improvements pursuant to this
Section 17.1.  In the event of damage or destruction the repair of which is not
permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and building codes
then in effect, if such damage or destruction (despite being corrected to the
extent then permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and
building codes) would still materially impair Tenant's ability to conduct its
business in the Initial Building, then either party may terminate this Lease as
of the date of the occurrence by giving written notice to the other within
thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence; if neither party timely
elects such termination, or if such damage or destruction does not materially
impair Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Initial Building, then
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that there shall be
an equitable adjustment in monthly minimum rental and of Tenant's Operating Cost
Share of Operating Expenses, based upon the extent to which Tenant's ability to
conduct its business in the Initial Building is impaired, and Landlord and
Tenant respectively shall restore the Building Shell and the Interior
Improvements to a complete architectural whole and to a functional condition.
In the event of damage or destruction which cannot reasonably be repaired within
one (1) year following the date of the occurrence, then either Landlord or
Tenant, at its election, may terminate this Lease as of the date of the
occurrence by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after
the date of the occurrence; if neither party timely elects such termination,
then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord and Tenant
shall each repair and restore applicable portions of the Property in accordance
with the first sentence of this Section 17.1.

        (b) The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to
Section 17.1(a) are subject to the following limitations:

                                     -32-
<PAGE>

          (i) If the occurrence results from a peril which is required to be
insured pursuant to Section 14.1(c) and (d) above, the obligations of either
party shall not exceed the amount of insurance proceeds received from insurers
by reason of such occurrence, plus the amount of the party's permitted
deductible (provided that each party shall be obligated to use its best efforts
to recover any available proceeds from the insurance which it is required to
maintain pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.1(c) or (d), as applicable),
and, if such proceeds are insufficient, either party may terminate the Lease
unless the other party promptly elects and agrees, in writing, to contribute the
amount of the shortfall; and

          (ii)  If the occurrence results from a peril which is not required to
be insured pursuant to Section 14.1(c) and (d) above, Landlord shall be required
to repair and restore the Building Shell and Common Areas to the extent
necessary for Tenant's continued use and occupancy of the Initial Building, and
Tenant shall be required to repair and restore the Interior Improvements to the
extent necessary for Tenant's continued use and occupancy of the Initial
Building, provided that each party's obligation to repair and restore shall not
          --------
exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the
Building Shell and Common Area improvements, as to Landlord, or five percent
(5%) of the replacement cost of the Interior Improvements, as to Tenant; if the
replacement cost as to either party exceeds such amount, then the party whose
limit has been exceeded may terminate this Lease unless the other party promptly
elects and agrees, in writing, to contribute the amount of the shortfall.

        (c) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 17.1 following an occurrence which is a peril required to be
insured against pursuant to Section 14.1(c) and (d), Landlord and Tenant agree
(and any Lender shall be asked to agree) that there shall be paid from such
insurance proceeds (i) to Landlord, the proceeds of Landlord's property
insurance on the Building Shell, (ii) to Landlord, a portion of the aggregate
proceeds of Landlord's and Tenant's property insurance on the Interior
Improvements equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the insurable value,
immediately prior to the occurrence, of the Interior Improvements that would
have belonged to Landlord upon termination of this Lease in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11.2 and the denominator of which is the total insurable
value, immediately prior to the occurrence, of all of the Interior Improvements,
and (iii) to Tenant, a portion of the aggregate proceeds of Landlord's and
Tenant's property insurance on the Interior Improvements equal to a fraction,
the numerator of which is the insurable value, immediately prior to the
occurrence, of the Interior Improvements that would have belonged to Tenant upon
termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2 and
the denominator of which is the total insurable value, immediately prior to the
occurrence, of all of the Interior Improvements.

        (d) From and after the date of an occurrence resulting in damage to or
destruction of the Initial Building or of the Common Areas necessary for
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Initial Building, and continuing until repair
and restoration thereof are completed, there shall be an equitable abatement of
minimum rental and of Tenant's Operating Cost Share of Operating Expenses based
upon the degree to which Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Initial

                                     -33-
<PAGE>

Building is impaired.

  17.2  Condemnation.
        ------------

        (a) If during the term of this Lease the Property or Improvements, or
any substantial part of either, is taken by eminent domain or by reason of any
public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any manner by exercise of
the right of eminent domain (including any transfer in avoidance of an exercise
of the power of eminent domain), or receives irreparable damage by reason of
anything lawfully done under color of public or other authority, then (i) this
Lease shall terminate as to the entire Property at Landlord's election by
written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the taking has
occurred, and (ii) this Lease shall terminate as to the entire Property at
Tenant's election, by written notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined, if the
portion of the Property taken is of such extent and nature as substantially to
handicap, impede or permanently impair Tenant's use of the balance of the
Property.  If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify
Landlord of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty
(30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after Tenant has notified Landlord of
Tenant's election to terminate, except that this Lease shall terminate on the
date of taking if such date falls on any date before the date of termination
designated by Tenant.  If neither party elects to terminate this Lease as
hereinabove provided, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect (except
that there shall be an equitable abatement of minimum rental and of Tenant's
Operating Cost Share of Operating Expenses based upon the degree to which
Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Initial Building is impaired),
Landlord shall restore the Building Shell and Common Area improvements to a
complete architectural whole and a functional condition and as nearly as
reasonably possible to the condition existing before the taking, and Tenant
shall restore the Interior Improvements and Tenant's other alterations,
additions and improvements to a complete architectural whole and a functional
condition and as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition existing before
the taking.  In connection with any such restoration, each party shall use its
respective best efforts (including, without limitation, any necessary
negotiation or intercession with its respective lender, if any) to ensure that
any severance damages or other condemnation awards intended to provide
compensation for rebuilding or restoration costs are promptly collected and made
available to Landlord and Tenant in portions reasonably corresponding to the
cost and scope of their respective restoration obligations, subject only to such
payment controls as either party or its lender may reasonably require in order
to ensure the proper application of such proceeds toward the restoration of the
Improvements.  Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to
terminate this Lease in the event of a partial condemnation of the Property.

        (b) The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to
Section 17.2(a) are subject to the following limitations:

          (i) Each party's obligation to repair and restore shall not exceed,
net of any condemnation awards or other proceeds available for and allocable to
such restoration as

                                     -34-
<PAGE>

contemplated in Section 17.2(a), an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the
replacement cost of the Building Shell and Common Area improvements, as to
Landlord, or five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Interior
Improvements, as to Tenant; if the replacement cost as to either party exceeds
such amount, then the party whose limit has been exceeded may terminate this
Lease unless the other party promptly elects and agrees, in writing, to
contribute the amount of the shortfall; and

          (ii) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section 17.2, or if this Lease remains in effect but any condemnation
awards or other proceeds become available as compensation for the loss or
destruction of any of the Improvements, then Landlord and Tenant agree (and any
Lender shall be asked to agree) that there shall be paid from such award or
proceeds (i) to Landlord, the award or proceeds attributable or allocable to the
Building Shell and/or Common Area improvements, and (ii) to Landlord and Tenant,
respectively, portions of the award or proceeds attributable or allocable to the
Interior Improvements, in the respective proportions in which Landlord and
Tenant would have shared, under Section 17.1(c), the proceeds of any insurance
proceeds following loss or destruction of such Interior Improvements by an
insured casualty.

  17.3  Reservation Of Compensation.  Landlord reserves, and Tenant waives and
        ---------------------------
assigns to Landlord, all rights to any award or compensation for damage to the
Improvements, the Property and the leasehold estate created hereby, accruing by
reason of any taking in any public improvement, condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding or in any other manner by exercise of the right of eminent domain or
of anything lawfully done by public authority, except that (a) Tenant shall be
entitled to any and all compensation or damages paid for or on account of
Tenant's moving expenses, trade fixtures and equipment, and (b) any condemnation
awards or proceeds described in Section 17.2(b)(ii) shall be allocated and
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.2(b)(ii),
notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 17.3.

  17.4  Restoration Of Improvements.  In connection with any repair or
        ---------------------------
restoration of Improvements by either party following a casualty or taking as
hereinabove set forth, the party responsible for such repair or restoration
shall, to the extent possible, return such Improvements to a condition
substantially equal to that which existed immediately prior to the casualty or
taking.  To the extent such party wishes to make material modifications to such
Improvements, such modifications shall be subject to the prior written approval
of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no
such approval shall be required for modifications that are required by
applicable governmental authorities as a condition of the repair or restoration,
unless such required modifications would impair or impede Tenant's conduct of
its business in the Initial Building (in which case any such modifications in
Landlord's work shall require Tenant's consent, not unreasonably withheld or
delayed) or would materially and adversely affect the exterior appearance, the
structural integrity or the mechanical or other operating systems of the Initial
Building (in which case any such modifications in Tenant's work shall require
Landlord's consent, not unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                                 18.  DEFAULT
                                      -------

  18.1  Events Of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall
        -----------------
constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant:

        (a) Abandonment.  Abandonment of the Property.  "Abandonment" is hereby
            -----------
defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the
Property for fifteen (15) consecutive days or more while Tenant is in default
under any other provision of this Lease.  Tenant waives any right Tenant may
have to notice under Section 1951.3 of the California Civil Code, the terms of
this subsection (a) being deemed such notice to Tenant as required by said
Section 1951.3;

        (b) Nonpayment.  Failure to pay, when due, any amount payable to
            ----------
Landlord hereunder, such failure continuing for a period of five (5) days after
written notice of such failure;

        (c) Other Obligations.  Failure to perform any obligation, agreement or
            -----------------
covenant under this Lease other than those matters specified in subsection (b)
hereof, such failure continuing for fifteen (15) days after written notice of
such failure; provided, however, that if such failure is curable in nature but
              --------
cannot reasonably be cured within such 15-day period, then Tenant shall not be
in default if, and so long as, Tenant promptly (and in all events within such
15-day period) commences such cure and thereafter diligently pursues such cure
to completion;

        (d) General Assignment.  A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit
            ------------------
of creditors;

        (e) Bankruptcy.  The filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by
            ----------
Tenant, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors, which
involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days.  In
the event that under applicable law the trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant has the
right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the obligations of Tenant
hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, in such time period as may be permitted
by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, cure all defaults of Tenant
hereunder outstanding as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide
to Landlord such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of
the continued performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such
adequate assurances must include assurances that the Property continues to be
operated only for the use permitted hereunder.  The provisions hereof are to
assure that the basic understandings between Landlord and Tenant with respect to
Tenant's use of the Property and the benefits to Landlord therefrom are
preserved, consistent with the purpose and intent of applicable bankruptcy laws;

        (f) Receivership.  The employment of a receiver appointed by court order
            ------------
to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Property, if
such receivership remains undissolved for a period of thirty (30) days;

                                     -36-
<PAGE>

        (g) Attachment.  The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
            ----------
all or substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Property, if such attachment
or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30)
days after the levy thereof; or

        (h) Insolvency.  The admission by Tenant in writing of its inability to
            ----------
pay its debts as they become due, the filing by Tenant of a petition seeking any
reorganization or arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, the filing by Tenant of an answer admitting or failing timely to
contest a material allegation of a petition filed against Tenant in any such
proceeding or, if within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any
proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization or arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have
been dismissed.

  18.2  Remedies Upon Tenant's Default.
        ------------------------------

        (a) Upon the occurrence of any event of default described in Section
18.1 hereof, Landlord, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right to re-enter the Property
or any part thereof and repossess the same, expelling and removing therefrom all
persons and property (which property may be stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost and risk of and for the account of Tenant), using such
force as may be necessary to do so (as to which Tenant hereby waives any claim
for loss or damage that may thereby occur).  In addition to or in lieu of such
re-entry, and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have,
Landlord shall have the right either (i) to terminate this Lease and recover
from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default, as
hereinafter provided, or (ii) to continue this Lease in effect and recover rent
and other charges and amounts as they become due.

        (b) Even if Tenant has breached this Lease or abandoned the Property,
this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant's right to possession under subsection (a) hereof and Landlord may
enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover rent as it becomes due, and Landlord, without terminating this Lease,
may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a lessor under California Civil
Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach
and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor Code
section.  Acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to relet the Property or
the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord's
interests under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession.

        (c) If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 18.2,
Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by
Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any successor
Code section, which remedies include Landlord's right to recover from Tenant (i)
the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and additional rent which

                                     -37-
<PAGE>

had been earned at the time of termination, (ii) the worth at the time of award
of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional 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, (iii) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional
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, and (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, the cost of recovering possession of the Property, expenses
of reletting, including necessary repair, renovation and alteration of the
Property, reasonable attorneys' fees, and other reasonable costs. The "worth at
the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above
shall be computed by allowing interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from the
date such amounts accrued to Landlord. The "worth at the time of award" of the
amounts referred to in clause (iii) above shall be computed by discounting such
amount at one percentage point above the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award.

  18.3  Remedies Cumulative.  All rights, privileges and elections or remedies
        -------------------
of Landlord contained in this Article 18 are cumulative and not alternative to
the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided herein.

                    19.  SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND SALE
                         ----------------------------------

  19.1  Subordination To Mortgage.  This Lease, and any sublease entered into by
        -------------------------
Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be subject and subordinate to
any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any
other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Initial
Building, the Property, or both, and the rights of any assignee of Landlord or
of any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor under
any of the foregoing, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof
and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof; provided, however, that such subordination in the case of any future
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other
hypothecation for security placed upon the Initial Building, the Property, or
both shall be conditioned on Tenant's receipt from the ground lessor, mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a
form reasonably acceptable to Tenant confirming that so long as Tenant is not in
default hereunder, Tenant's rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such
person or entity.  Moreover, Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall be
conditioned on Tenant's receipt within thirty (30) days after mutual execution
of this Lease, from any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or
leaseback lessor currently owning or holding a security interest in the
Property, of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to
Tenant confirming that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant's
rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity.  If any
mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or
assignee elects to have this Lease be an encumbrance upon the Property prior to
the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or leaseback lease or
other security arrangement and gives notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall
be deemed prior thereto, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
date thereof or the date of recording thereof.  Tenant, and any sublessee, shall
execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by any mortgagee, trustee,
beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee to evidence the
subordination herein set forth, subject to the conditions set forth above, or to
make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease,
leaseback lease or other security arrangement, as the case may be, and if Tenant
fails to do so within ten (10) days after demand from Landlord, Tenant
constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's
name, place and stead to do so. Upon any default by Landlord in the performance
of its obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback
lease or assignment, Tenant (and any sublessee) shall, notwithstanding any
subordination hereunder, attorn to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground
lessor, leaseback lessor or assignee thereunder upon demand and become the
tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor
in interest, and shall execute and deliver any instrument or instruments
confirming the attornment herein provided for.

  19.2  Sale Of Landlord's Interest.  Upon sale, transfer or assignment of
        ---------------------------
Landlord's entire interest in the Improvements and Property, Landlord shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to liabilities accruing from
and after the date of such sale, transfer or assignment, except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 21.2 hereof.

                                     -39-
<PAGE>

  19.3  Estoppel Certificates.  Either Tenant or Landlord (the "certifying
        ---------------------
party") shall at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after
written request by the other party (the "requesting party"), execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a certificate in writing
stating: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if
there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect
as modified and stating the date and the nature of each modification; (ii) the
date to which rental and all other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (iii)
that the requesting party is not in default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease, that the certifying party has given no notice of
default to the requesting party and that no event has occurred which, but for
the expiration of the applicable time period, would constitute an event of
default hereunder, or if the certifying party alleges that any such default,
notice or event has occurred, specifying the same in reasonable detail; and (iv)
such other matters as may reasonably be requested by the requesting party or by
any institutional lender, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor,
sale/leaseback lessor or prospective purchaser of the Property or of Tenant's
leasehold interest therein.  Any such certificate provided under this Section
19.3 may be relied upon by any lender, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, assignee
or successor in interest to the requesting party, by any prospective purchaser,
by any purchaser on foreclosure or sale, by any grantee under a deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property, or by any other
third party.  Failure to execute and return within the required time any
estoppel certificate requested hereunder shall be deemed to be an admission of
the truth of the matters set forth in the form of certificate submitted to the
certifying party for execution.

  19.4  Subordination to CC&R's.  This Lease, and any permitted sublease entered
        -----------------------
into by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be subject and
subordinate to any declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Property from time to time, which may include easements, access
rights and similar non-exclusive use rights and privileges in favor of
appropriate third parties; provided, however, that following the execution of
                           --------
this Lease, Landlord shall not record or agree to any such declarations
affecting the Property without the prior written consent of Tenant, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  It shall be deemed
reasonable for Tenant to withhold consent to any declaration or provision
thereof which impairs Tenant's rights under this Lease in any material respect.
Tenant agrees to execute, upon request by Landlord, any documents reasonably
required from time to time to evidence such subordination.

                                     -40-
<PAGE>

  19.5  Mortgagee Protection.
        --------------------

        (a) If, in connection with any future ground lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security placed
upon the Initial Building, the Property, or both, the ground lessor, mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor requests any changes in this Lease as a
condition to its willingness to enter into or accept the ground lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or other hypothecation for security,
then Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any such
requested changes and shall execute, at the request of Landlord, an amendment to
this Lease incorporating the changes thus reasonably consented to by Tenant.  It
shall be deemed reasonable for Tenant to withhold consent to any requested
change which imposes a substantial new monetary obligation on Tenant or which
otherwise substantially impairs Tenant's rights under this Lease.  Tenant's
obligations under this Section 19.5(a) shall be conditioned on Tenant's
concurrent receipt, from the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or
leaseback lessor, of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable
to Tenant confirming that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder,
Tenant's rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity.

        (b) If, following a default by Landlord under any mortgage, deed of
trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or other security arrangement covering the
Property, the Property is acquired by the mortgagee, beneficiary, master lessor
or other secured party, or by any other successor owner, pursuant to a
foreclosure, trustee's sale, sheriff's sale, lease termination or other similar
procedure (or deed in lieu thereof), then any such person or entity so acquiring
the Property shall not be:

          (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord or owner of the
Property (including, but not limited to, Landlord);

          (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant may have against
any prior landlord or owner of the Property (including, but not limited to,
Landlord);

         (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant may have
paid in advance to any prior landlord or owner of the Property (including, but
not limited to, Landlord) for a period in excess of one month, or by any
security deposit, cleaning deposit or other prepaid charge that Tenant may have
paid in advance to any prior landlord or owner (including, but not limited to,
Landlord);

          (iv) liable for any warranties or representations of any nature
whatsoever, whether pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, by any prior landlord
or owner of the Property (including, but not limited to, Landlord) with respect
to the use, construction, zoning, compliance with laws, title, habitability,
fitness for purpose or possession, or physical condition (including, without
limitation, environmental matters) of the Property or Improvements; or

          (v) liable to Tenant in any amount beyond the interest of such
mortgagee,

                                     -41-
<PAGE>

beneficiary, master lessor or other secured party or successor owner in the
Property as it exists from time to time, it being the intent of this provision
that Tenant shall look solely to the interest of any such mortgagee,
beneficiary, master lessor or other secured party or successor owner in the
Property for the payment and discharge of the landlord's obligations under this
Lease and that such mortgagee, beneficiary, master lessor or other secured party
or successor owner shall have no separate personal liability for any such
obligations.


                                 20.  SECURITY
                                      --------

  20.1  Deposit.  Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant
        -------
shall deposit with Landlord the sum of One Hundred Nineteen Thousand Two Hundred
Forty and No/100 Dollars ($119,240.00), which sum (the "Security Deposit") shall
be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by
Tenant during the term hereof.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision
of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the
payment of rental and other sums due hereunder, Landlord shall have the right,
but shall not be required, to use, apply or retain all or any part of the
Security Deposit for the payment of rental or any other 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 the Security Deposit is so used
or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor,
deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this Lease.  Landlord shall not be required to keep any deposit under
this Section separate from Landlord's general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest thereon.  If Tenant fully and faithfully performs every
provision of this Lease to be performed by it, 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 term of
this Lease and after Tenant has vacated the Property.  In the event of
termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer all
deposits then held by Landlord under this Section to Landlord's successor in
interest, whereupon Tenant agrees to release Landlord from all liability for the
return of such deposit or the accounting thereof.


                               21.  MISCELLANEOUS
                                    -------------

or to such other address as may be contained in a notice at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the address change from either party to the other given pursuant
to this Section.  Rental payments and other sums required by this Lease to be
paid by Tenant shall be delivered to Landlord at Landlord's address provided in
this Section, or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time specify
in writing to Tenant, and shall be deemed to be paid only upon actual receipt.

  21.2  Successors And Assigns.  The obligations of this Lease shall run with
        ----------------------
the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
original Landlord named herein and each successive Landlord under this Lease
shall be liable only for obligations accruing during the period of its

                                     -43-
<PAGE>

ownership of the Property, said liability terminating upon termination of such
ownership and passing to the successor lessor, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the following sentence. Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised
by Landlord that following execution of this Lease, Landlord intends to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder (a) to a limited liability company or other
entity having substantially the same ownership and management as Landlord,
and/or (b) to an entity of which Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord is a
general partner or has management responsibilities and equity participation
comparable to those of a general partner; provided, that any such assignment
                                          --------
shall not relieve Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease.

  21.3  No Waiver.  The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation, or to
        ---------
insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Lease
shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation, or prevent a subsequent act
which would originally have constituted a violation from having all the force
and effect of an original violation.

  21.4  Severability.  If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof
        ------------
is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the
application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each of
the provisions of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable, unless enforcement
of this Lease as so invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly inequitable
under all the circumstances or would materially frustrate the purposes of this
Lease.

  21.5  Litigation Between Parties.  In the event of any litigation or other
        --------------------------
dispute resolution proceedings between the parties hereto arising out of or in
connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable accountants' fees
and attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such proceedings (including,
but not limited to, any appellate proceedings relating thereto) or in connection
with the enforcement of any judgment or award rendered in such proceedings.
"Prevailing party" within the meaning of this Section shall include, without
limitation, a party who dismisses an action for recovery hereunder in exchange
for payment of the sums allegedly due, performance of covenants allegedly
breached or consideration substantially equal to the relief sought in the
action.

  21.6  Surrender.  A voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a
        ---------
mutual termination thereof between Landlord and Tenant, shall not result in a
merger but shall, at the option of Landlord, operate either as an assignment to
Landlord of any and all existing subleases and subtenancies, or a termination of
all or any existing subleases and subtenancies.  This provision shall be
contained in any and all assignments or subleases made pursuant to this Lease.

  21.7  Interpretation.  The provisions of this Lease shall be construed as a
        --------------
whole, according to their common meaning, and not strictly for or against
Landlord or Tenant.  The captions preceding the text of each Section and
subsection hereof are included only for convenience of reference and shall be
disregarded in the construction or interpretation of this Lease.

  21.8  Entire Agreement.  This written Lease, together with the exhibits
        ----------------
hereto, contains all

                                     -44-
<PAGE>

the representations and the entire understanding between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or
agreements are replaced in total by this Lease and the exhibits hereto. This
Lease may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by each of the
parties.

  21.9  Governing Law.  This Lease and all exhibits hereto shall be construed
        -------------
and interpreted in accordance with and be governed by all the provisions of the
laws of the State of California.

  21.10 No Partnership.  The relationship between Landlord and Tenant is solely
        --------------
that of a lessor and lessee.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed
as creating any type or manner of partnership, joint venture or joint enterprise
with or between Landlord and Tenant.

  21.11 Financial Information.  From time to time Tenant shall promptly provide
        ---------------------
directly to prospective lenders and purchasers of the Property designated by
Landlord such financial information pertaining to the financial status of Tenant
as Landlord may reasonably request; provided, Tenant shall be permitted to
provide such financial information in a manner which Tenant deems reasonably
necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information.  In addition, from
time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with such financial information
pertaining to the financial status of Tenant as Landlord may reasonably request.
Landlord agrees that all financial information supplied to Landlord by Tenant
shall be treated as confidential material, and shall not be disseminated to any
party or entity (including any entity affiliated with Landlord) without Tenant's
prior written consent.  For purposes of this Section, without limiting the
generality of the obligations provided herein, it shall be deemed reasonable for
Landlord to request copies of Tenant's most recent audited annual financial
statements, or, if audited statements have not been prepared, unaudited
financial statements for Tenant's most recent fiscal year, accompanied by a
certificate of Tenant's chief financial officer that such financial statements
fairly present Tenant's financial condition as of the date(s) indicated.

        Landlord and Tenant recognize the need of Tenant to maintain the
confidentiality of information regarding its financial status and the need of
Landlord to be informed of, and to provide to prospective lenders and purchasers
of the Property financial information pertaining to, Tenant's financial status.
Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in achieving these needs
within the context of the obligations set forth in this Section.  Landlord also
acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's obligations to furnish information to
Landlord under this Section are in all events subject to Tenant's compliance
with, and may therefore be limited by, applicable securities laws.

  21.12 Costs.  If Tenant requests the consent of Landlord under any provision
        -----
of this Lease for any act that Tenant proposes to do hereunder, including,
without limitation, assignment or subletting of the Property, Tenant shall, as a
condition to doing any such act and the receipt of such consent, reimburse
Landlord promptly for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees.

                                     -45-
<PAGE>

  21.13 Time.  Time is of the essence of this Lease, and of every term and
        ----
condition hereof.

  21.14 Rules And Regulations.  Tenant shall observe, comply with and obey, and
        ---------------------
shall cause its employees, agents and, to the best of Tenant's ability, invitees
to observe, comply with and obey such rules and regulations as Landlord may
promulgate from time to time for the safety, care, cleanliness, order and use of
the Improvements and the Property.

  21.15 Brokers.  Landlord agrees to pay a brokerage commission to Catalyst Real
        -------
Estate Group, Tenant's broker, in connection with the consummation of this Lease
in accordance with a separate agreement.  Each party represents and warrants
that no other broker participated in the consummation of this Lease and agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless against any liability,
cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
arising out of any claims for brokerage commissions or other similar
compensation in connection with any conversations, prior negotiations or other
dealings by the indemnifying party with any other broker.

  21.16 Memorandum Of Lease.  At any time during the term of this Lease, either
        -------------------
party, at its sole expense, shall be entitled to record a memorandum of this
Lease and, if either party so elects, both parties agree to cooperate in the
preparation, execution, acknowledgement and recordation of such document in
reasonable form.

  21.17 Corporate Authority.  The person signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant
        -------------------
warrants that he or she is fully authorized to do so and, by so doing, to bind
Tenant.  As evidence of such authority, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon
or prior to execution of this Lease, a certified copy of a resolution of
Tenant's board of directors authorizing the execution of this Lease and naming
the officer that is authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of Tenant.

  21.18 Execution and Delivery.  This Lease may be executed in one or more
        ----------------------
counterparts and by separate parties on separate counterparts, but each such
counterpart shall constitute an original and all such counterparts together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

  21.19 Survival.  Without limiting survival provisions which would otherwise be
        --------
implied or construed under applicable law, the provisions of Sections 2.6, 9.4,
11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 13.6, 14.6 and 21.5 hereof shall survive the termination of
this Lease with respect to matters occurring prior to the expiration of this
Lease.
