                        SINGLE TENANT ABSOLUTE NET LEASE
                                       TO
                                HANDSPRING, INC.

        This Lease ("Lease"), dated for references purposes as of June 22, 1999,
is entered into by and between CHAN-PAUL PARTNERSHIP, A CALIFORNIA GENERAL
PARTNERSHIP ("Landlord") and HANDSPRING, INC., jointly and severally ("Tenant").

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions
set forth in this Lease, the parties agree as follows:

        Article 1. Property Leased.

             1.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases
from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises
described as follows:

                  1.1.1 Land. The real property (the "Land") commonly known as
189 North Bernardo, Mountain View, California, more particularly described on
Exhibit "A" hereto.

                  1.1.2 Building. That certain two story building (the
"Building") situated on the Land and containing approximately 58,400 rentable
square feet which square footage is agreed to by the parties hereto; and

                  1.1.3 Improvements. All other improvements, structures,
mechanical, plumbing, electrical systems, partitions, cabinetry, floor
coverings, wall coverings, ceiling, lighting and other fixtures (excluding trade
fixtures), and other facilities, specifically including the Tenant Improvements
to be constructed and installed by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.5 below
(collectively, the "Improvements") which are now or hereafter constructed
within, installed upon, incorporated into or attached to the Land or the
Building. The Improvements shall not include any of Tenant's Personal Property
(defined in Section 13.2 below).

             1.2 Acceptance of the Premises. Except as otherwise set forth in
Section 5.3 hereof and except for the Building HVAC, plumbing, elevator and
electrical systems ("Building Systems") which shall be delivered on Commencement
Date in good working order and repair, and the Tenant Improvements, which shall
be performed in compliance with all laws and constructed using materials of good
quality, Tenant accepts the Premises, including the Improvements, in their
present condition and has satisfied itself that the Premises, the Building and

<PAGE>   8

that Tenant has received assurances acceptable to Tenant by means independent of
Landlord or any agent of Landlord of the truth of all facts material to this
Lease, and that the Premises are being leased by Tenant as a result of Tenant's
own inspection and investigation and, except as specifically set forth in this
Section 1.2 with respect to Building Systems and Tenant Improvements and Section
5.3 with respect to compliance with laws on the Commencement Date, not as a
result of any representations made by Landlord or any agent of Landlord except
those expressly set forth above in this paragraph and Section 5.3 hereof. Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 1.2 and Section 5.3, Tenant's acceptance
of the Premises as of the Commencement Date shall conclusively establish that
the Premises are in a condition satisfactory to Tenant. Except as otherwise set
forth in Section 5.3 hereof and except as specifically set forth in this Section
1.2 with respect to the Building Systems and Tenant Improvements, the Premises,
and each and every part thereof, are leased "AS-IS," "WHERE-IS," "WITH ALL
FAULTS" and Landlord has made no representations or warranty as to the condition
of the Premises or as to the suitability or profitability of the Premises for
Tenant's intended use. Tenant has inspected and is satisfied with the physical
condition of the Premises.

             1.3 Year 2000 Disclaimer. Landlord hereby disclaims any liability
for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any liability for, any and all
damages, injuries or other losses, whether ordinary, special, consequential,
punitive or otherwise, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, (a)
the failure of any automated, computerized and/or software system or other
technology used in, on, or about the Premises or relating to the management or
operation of the Premises to accurately receive, provide or process date/time
data (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing and sequencing) both

the years 1999 A.D. and 2000 A.D., and leap year calculations and, or (b) the
malfunction, ceasing to function or providing of invalid or incorrect results by
any such technology as a result of date/time data. The foregoing disclaimer
shall apply to any such technology used in, on, or about the Premises or that
affects the Premises, whether or not such technology is within the control of
Landlord or any of Landlord's agents or representatives. THE FOREGOING
DISCLAIMER INCLUDES A DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WAY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

             1.4 Possession. Landlord shall deliver and Tenant shall accept
possession of (i) only the first floor of the Building on the Commencement Date,
and (ii) the second floor of the Building on December 15, 1999 ("Second Floor
Rent Commencement Date"). Landlord shall deliver the first floor of the Premises

Section 1.2 hereof. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the first floor
of the Building to Tenant on the terms and conditions required herein on or

        Article 2. Term.

             2.1 Lease Term. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall be
for a period of five (5) Lease Years (plus any initial or fractional month which
may be included within the first Lease Year pursuant to the following sentences)
commencing on August 15, 1999 ("Commencement Date") and expiring on August 31,
2004. A "Lease Year" shall be a period of twelve (12) successive full calendar
months, beginning on the first day of the first full calendar month of the Lease
Term provided that, if the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day
of a calendar month, then the initial fractional month together with the next
succeeding twelve (12) full calendar months shall constitute the first Lease
Year. The expiration of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease is
referred to herein as the "Lease Termination."

        Article 3. Rent.

             3.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord as "Base Rent" for the
Premises, monthly installments in the following sums:

        (a) Upon execution of this Lease, One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
Five Hundred and Sixty Dollars ($125,560), Sixty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred and
Eighty Dollars ($62,780) to be applied as Base Rent for the first month
following the Commencement Date for the first floor of the Premises ("First

Eighty Dollars ($62,780) to be applied as Base Rent for the first month
following the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date for the second floor of the
Premises ("Second Floor Base Rent Initial Payment").

        (b) On the first day of the first full calendar month following the
Commencement Date, until the first day of the first full calendar month
following the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Sixty-Two Thousand Seven
Hundred and Eighty Dollars ($62,780) as Base Rent for the first floor of the
Premises, provided, however, that if the Commencement Date falls on a date other
than the first day of the month, Tenant shall be credited in such first full
calendar month the amount by which Tenant's First Floor Base Rent Initial
Payment exceeded the amount which Tenant would have paid in the month in which
the Commencement Date occurred had the Base Rent applicable to the first floor
of the Premises been prorated for such partial month.

        (c) On the first day of the first full calendar month following the
Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand Five
Hundred and Sixty Dollars ($125,560) as Base Rent for the first and second floor
of the Premises, provided, however, that if the Second Floor Rent Commencement
Date falls on a date other than the first day of the month, Tenant shall be
credited in such first full calendar month following the Second Floor Rent
Commencement Date the amount by which Tenant's Second Floor Base Rent Initial
Payment exceeded the amount which Tenant would have paid in the month in which
the Second Floor Commencement Date occurred had the Base Rent applicable to the
second floor of the Premises



                                       3
<PAGE>   10

been prorated for such partial month.

Base Rent payments shall in advance on the first day of each calendar month in
the amounts set forth in subsections (b) and (c) above, commencing on the
Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, and subject to
adjustment as set forth below in Section 3.2, provided that the first
installment of Base Rent shall be paid in advance upon Tenant's execution of
this Lease as set forth in subsection (a) above. Base Rent shall be paid by
Tenant in lawful money of the United States, without deduction, offset, prior
notice or demand, at such place(s) as may be designated from time to time by
Landlord. The Base Rent is based upon an agreed square footage of usable and
rentable area and is not subject to adjustment as a result of anyone's
recalculation of such area as being either more or less.

             3.2 Adjustments to Base Rent. Beginning on the first day of the
second Lease Year and continuing thereafter through the balance of the Lease
Term (including any extensions thereof) on the first day of each succeeding
Lease Year ("Adjustment Date") monthly installments of Base Rent shall be
increased by multiplying the Base Rent installment payable during the last month
of the preceding Lease Year by 1.035 so that each Lease Year the Base Rent
increases over the prior Lease year's Base Rent by three and one-half percent (3
1/2%), compounded.

             3.3 Additional Rent. All taxes, charges, costs, expenses and other
sums which Tenant is required to pay hereunder (together with all interest and
penalties that may accrue thereon if Tenant fails to pay the same) and all
damages, costs and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of any Default of
Tenant shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder ("Additional Rent"). In
the event of nonpayment by Tenant of any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have
all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for the
nonpayment of Base Rent. The term "Rentals" as used in this Lease shall mean
Base Rent and Additional Rent.

             3.4 Absolute Net Lease. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant
that Rentals specified herein to be paid to Landlord shall be absolutely net to
Landlord. All costs, expenses and obligations of every kind relating to the
Premises (except as otherwise specifically and expressly provided in this Lease)
shall be paid by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
against all such costs, expenses and obligations.

             3.5 Interest. All payments due from Tenant to Landlord shall bear
interest from the date due until paid at the lesser rate of ten (10%) percent
per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. In addition, Tenant shall pay all
reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in the
collection of such amounts whether or not suit be filed.

             3.6 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of any Rentals will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated
by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include,



                                       4
<PAGE>   11

without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may
be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any
encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Base Rent or
any amount due as Additional Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord
when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of ten (10%) percent of
the overdue amount of Rentals as a late charge. The parties agree that this late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will
incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall
not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount,
or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
available to Landlord.

        Article 4. Security Deposit. On or before the 23rd day of July 1999,
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an irrevocable letter of credit ("Letter of
Credit") on a form acceptable to Landlord in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($400,000.00) (the "Security Deposit"). The Letter of Credit shall be in
lieu of the cash Security Deposit. All references in this Lease to the "Security
Deposit" shall mean the Letter of Credit. Landlord shall be entitled to draw on
the Letter of Credit in whole or in part as provided for in this Article 4. The
Letter of Credit shall: (i) be issued by a commercial bank reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord ("Issuer"); (ii) be a stand-by, at-sight, irrevocable
letter of credit; (iii) be payable to Landlord; (iv) require that any draw on
the Letter of Credit shall be made only upon receipt by the Issuer of a written
certification Landlord certifying, under penalty of perjury, that the Tenant has
perform any one or more of the obligations required to be performed by Tenant
under the Lease and has not cured such failure or posted an additional cash
security deposit with Landlord in the damages likely to be caused by such
failure to perform that has not been cured and certifying that the amount drawn
on the Letter of Credit is the amount due Landlord on account of the Tenant's
default; (v) not expire prior to one year or longer after the date of its
issuance; and (vi) provide that it is governed by the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions). Within fourteen (14) days
prior to expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, Tenant shall cause
the Issuer to issue and deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit to replace the
expiring Letter to Credit ("Replacement Letter of Credit"). The Replacement
Letter of Credit shall be in the same amount as the expiring Letter of Credit
and shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in items (i) through (vi)
above. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in the Lease, at Landlord's
request and at Landlord's cost a new Letter of Credit shall be issued to the
transferee of the Landlord ("Transferee") on the same terms and conditions as
the existing Letter of Credit, except that the new Letter of Credit shall be
payable to the Transferee. Landlord shall surrender the existing Letter of
Credit to Tenant simultaneously with Tenant's delivery of the new Letter of
Credit to Transferee. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security
for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease applicable to Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect
to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions
relating to the condition of the Premises upon Lease Termination, Landlord may
(but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the
Security Deposit for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend by
reason of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for any 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


                                       5
<PAGE>   12

shall, within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord
in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount;
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a Default by Tenant. The rights of Landlord
pursuant to this Article 4 are in addition to any rights which Landlord may have
pursuant to Article 18 below. 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 (without interest) to Tenant (or, at
Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interests hereunder) at the
Lease Termination and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. Landlord shall not
be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord's general funds
or be deemed a trustee of same.

        Article 5. Use of Premises.

             5.1 Permitted Uses. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the
purpose of office and/or research or development and for any and all legal uses
related to office and/or research and development and for no other purpose. Any
change in use of the Premises by Tenant without the prior written consent of
Landlord shall be a Default by Tenant.

             5.2 Matters of Record. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is
subject to all matters of record and that Tenant has reviewed and accepts same
and assumes all risk as to such matters.

             5.3 Tenant to Comply with Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, at the Commencement Date, Landlord
represents and warrants that the Premises, the Land and Improvements shall
conform to all requirements of covenants, conditions, restrictions and
encumbrances, all underwriter's requirements, and all municipal, county, federal
and state rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, laws, requirements and
building codes, (collectively, "Laws") applicable thereto. In the event of a
breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, Landlord shall, at its sole
cost and expense, correct such noncompliance and Tenant's sole remedy shall be
that provided in Article 22 hereof. Except as otherwise set forth in the
preceding sentences of this Section 5.3, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, promptly comply with all Laws relating to or affecting the condition,
use or occupancy of the Premises and, both now in force, or which may hereafter
be in force, whether or not the same are now contemplated by the parties; the
provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises, and the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters (or similar body now or hereafter
constituted) relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the
Premises including, without limitation, Tenant's obligations pursuant to this
Section 5.3 shall include without limitation maintaining or restoring the
Premises and making structural and nonstructural alterations and additions in
compliance and conformity with all laws and recorded documents relating to the
condition, use, occupational safety or occupancy of the Premises during the
Lease Term. Tenant shall maintain during the Lease Term all permits, licenses
and other authorizations required for the lawful operation of its business at
the Premises. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.3, Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss,
expense, cost, damage, attorneys' fees, penalties, fines or liability arising
out of the



                                       6
<PAGE>   13

failure of Tenant to comply with any applicable law or recorded document or any
board of fire underwriters.

             5.4 Uses Prohibited.

                  5.4.1 Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything on the
Premises which will in any way cause a cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Premises or any part thereof or any of its contents, nor shall
Tenant sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Premises any
articles which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire insurance.

                  5.4.2 Dangerous Uses Nuisances and Waste. Tenant shall not do

any unlawful or hazardous purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, suffer, maintain or
permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or
suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. Tenant shall at all
times cooperate with Landlord and Landlord's agents in the performance of
Tenant's duties and responsibilities.

                                       8
<PAGE>   15

regulation, order or agreement. All Remedial Work shall be performed by one or

hours advance written notice (except in case of emergency) for the purposes of

nonresponsibility, (iii) protecting the Premises in the event of an emergency,

Landlord may deem proper to gain access to the Premises. Any entry to the
Premises by Landlord in accordance with this Section 5.6 or any other provision
of this Lease which (except in an emergency) does not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, shall not under any
circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or
a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any
portion thereof nor give Tenant the right to abate the Rentals payable under
this Lease or any other right or remedy. Tenant hereby waives any claim for
damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's
business, any loss of beneficial or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any
other loss occasioned by Landlord's entry to the Premises as permitted by this
Section 5.6, or any other provision of this Lease.

             5.7 Signs. Subject to review and approval and potential
modification by the City of Mountain View, Landlord shall provide Tenant signage

without the prior written consent of Landlord, except for signs which are in
existence as of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall, upon request by Landlord,
immediately remove any of Tenant's signs that Tenant has placed or permitted to
be placed on the Land, Improvements or the exterior of the Building without the
prior written consent of Landlord. If Tenant fails to so remove any such sign
within five days after Landlord's request, Landlord may enter upon the Premises
and remove such sign and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand and as
Additional Rent, the cost of such removal. All signs placed on the Premises by
Tenant shall comply with all recorded documents affecting the Premises, and with
applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. At Lease Termination Tenant shall
remove all signs which it has placed on the Premises, and shall, at its sole
cost, repair any damage caused by the installation or removal of such signs.

prior to delinquency, all charges and all expenses or costs associated with
water, gas, light, heat, power, electricity, telephone or other communication
service, trash pickup, janitorial service, sewer, and all other services and
utilities supplied to or consumed on the Premises, and all taxes, fees, levies
or surcharges therefor. The disruption, failure, lack or shortage of any service
or utility due to any cause whatsoever shall not affect any obligation of Tenant
hereunder, and Tenant shall faithfully keep and observe all the terms,
conditions and covenants of this Lease and pay all Rentals due hereunder, all
without diminution, credit or deduction.


                                       10
<PAGE>   17

        Article 7. Taxes.

             7.1 Tenant's Obligation. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency,
all real estate taxes, personal property taxes, vehicular taxes, taxes computed
or based on rental income or environmental or energy usage, business and
occupation taxes, sales and/or use taxes, employee taxes, occupational license
taxes, general and special assessments, and all other governmental impositions,
fees, assessments, levies and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever,
whether deemed ad valorem or excise and specifically including any tax increase
caused by a transfer of ownership or any increase in rate or valuation ("Taxes")
which, during or with respect to any portion of the Lease Term, shall be
assessed, levied or imposed by any governmental subdivision or any other
authority having any direct or indirect power to tax against or in connection
with the use, possession, operation, existence, ownership, rental income or
management of the Premises. In the event any such Taxes are payable by Landlord
and it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for such Taxes, then
the Rentals payable hereunder shall be increased to net Landlord the same net
Rentals after imposition of any such Taxes upon Landlord as would have been
payable to Landlord prior to the imposition of any such Taxes. Nothing contained
in this Section 7.1 shall require Tenant to pay any federal, state and municipal
net income taxes or franchise, estate, or inheritance taxes imposed upon
Landlord.

             7.2 General. During any partial tax fiscal year(s) within the Lease
Term, Taxes shall be prorated according to the ratio which the number of days
Tenant occupies the Premises during such year bears to 365. Tenant shall furnish
to Landlord fifteen days prior to the last date when any Tax will become
delinquent, official receipts or other proof satisfactory to Landlord evidencing
payment thereof. If by law any Taxes may be paid in installments, Tenant may pay
the same (and any accrued interest on any unpaid balance thereof) in
installments as each installment becomes due and payable.

        Article 8. Insurance.

             8.1 Property/Rental Insurance - Premises. During the Lease Term,
Landlord shall keep the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and
those risks normally included in the term "all risk" including (a) flood
coverage, (b) earthquake coverage at the election of Landlord (and only if
available at commercially reasonable rates), (c) coverage for loss of rents for
a period of not less than eighteen (18) months ("Rental Loss Insurance") and (d)
boiler and machinery coverage if the Landlord deems such coverage necessary. Any
deductibles, not to exceed $100,000, shall be paid by Tenant. The amount of such
insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement
value of the Premises; such insurance shall include a so-called "change-in-code"
endorsement insuring the increased costs of reconstructing the Premises incurred
due to the need to comply with applicable codes. Any recovery received from said
insurance policy shall be paid to Landlord and thereafter applied by Landlord to
the reconstruction of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Article
10 below. Tenant, in addition to the rent and other charges provided herein,
agrees to reimburse Landlord for the cost of the premiums for all such insurance
covering the Premises. Such reimbursement shall be



                                       11
<PAGE>   18

made within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of a copy of Landlord's
statement therefor, accompanied by reasonable backup documentation. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord any deductibles (subject to the above conditions) owing,
accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation, within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of notice from Landlord of the amount owing.

             8.2 Property Insurance - Fixtures and Inventory. During the Lease
Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance with "all risk"
coverage on any fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment, or personal property in or on the Premises, whether in place as of
the date hereof or installed hereafter, for the full replacement value thereof,
and Landlord shall not have any responsibility nor pay any costs for maintaining
any types of such insurance. Any deductibles shall be paid by Tenant.

             8.3 Landlord's Liability Insurance. During the Lease Term, Landlord
shall maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance
insuring Landlord (and such others as designated by Landlord) against liability
for bodily injury, death and property damage on or about the Premises or the
common area, with combined single limit coverage of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000). Tenant, in addition to the rent and other charges provided
herein, agrees to pay to Landlord the premiums for all such insurance. The
insurance premiums shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of
a copy of Landlord's statement therefor.

             8.4 Tenant's Responsibilities With Regard to Liability Insurance.
During the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain for the
mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, comprehensive general liability and
property damage insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property
damage occurring in or about the Premises or arising out of the use or occupancy
of the Premises, with combined single limit coverage of not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
in the aggregate. The limits of such insurance shall not serve to limit the
liability of Tenant. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord prior to the Commencement
Date, and at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration date of any policy,
certificates indicating that the liability insurance required by Tenant above is
in full force and effect; that Landlord has been named as an additional insured
to the extent of contractual liability assumed in Section 9.1 "Indemnification
of Landlord"; and that any such policy will not be canceled unless thirty (30)
days' prior written notice of the proposed cancellation has been given to
Landlord. The insurance shall be with insurers approved by Landlord and with
policies in form satisfactory to Landlord, provided however, that such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

             8.5 Mutual Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding an other provisions of
this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby
releases Landlord, and their respective subtenants, assignees, officers, agents,
employees and servants, from any and all claims or demands of damages, loss,
expense, or injury to the Premises, or to the furnishings and fixtures and
equipment, or inventory or other property of either Landlord or Tenant in, or
about



                                       12
<PAGE>   19

or upon the Premises or the Building, which are or would be included in a
standard "all risk" insurance policy, whether or not such loss or damage is due
to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, their agents, employees, guests,
licensees, invitees, or contractors. Provided that such is available, each party
hereto shall obtain insurance coverage pursuant to this Article 8 which contains
a waiver of subrogation rights by the insurer as is applicable to this Section
8.5.

        Article 9. Indemnity and Exculpation.

             9.1 Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall defend, indemnify,
and hold Landlord and its agents harmless (except for their gross negligence or
willful misconduct and then only to the extent that insurance actually carried
or required to be carried pursuant to this Lease does not cover same) from and
against any and all obligations, losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands,
liabilities (including expert consultant or witness fees, attorneys' fees and
investigation costs incurred in defending same) on account of, or arising out of
the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises or any act or omission to act by
Tenant or Tenant's agents or any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises causing
injury, death or damage to any person or property whomever or whatever
("Claims"). It is understood that Tenant is and shall be in control and
possession of the Premises and that Landlord shall in no event be responsible or
liable for any injury or damage to any property of Tenant or any other person,
or for damage or injury or death to any person whatsoever, happening on, in,
about, or in connection with the Premises, or for any injury or damage to the
Premises or any part thereof, except as resulting from the actions or omissions
of Landlord or Landlord's agents or representatives. The provisions of this
Lease permitting Landlord to enter and inspect the Premises are for the purpose
of enabling Landlord to become informed as to whether Tenant is complying with
the terms of this Lease, and Landlord shall be under no duty to enter, inspect
or to perform any of Tenant's covenants set forth in this Lease including,
without limitation, as of the date any extended Lease Term commencing and Tenant
expressly assumes all such duties. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Claims arising from any
breach or default in the performance or observance of any obligation on Tenant's
part to be performed or observed under the terms of this Lease. The provisions
of this Section 9.1 shall survive Lease Termination with respect to any act,
omission, event, condition, damage, injury or death occurring prior to such
Lease Termination.

             9.2 Landlord as Party Defendant. If, by reason of Tenant's or
Tenant's agent's act or omission, Landlord is made a party defendant in any
action or proceeding concerning this Lease or the Premises, Tenant shall hold
harmless, defend and indemnify Landlord from and against all Claims asserted in
such action or proceeding, including all damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

             9.3 Waiver of Claims. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and
Tenant waives all claims against Landlord, for injury or death to any person
(including without limitation Tenant and Tenant's agents) or for damage or loss
of use of any property (including without limitation Tenant's Personal Property)
by and from all causes, including without limitation, any



                                       13

defect in or condition of the Premises and/or any damage or injury resulting
from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain which may leak or flow from or
into any part of the Premises, or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or
lighting fixtures, whether the damage, injury or death results from conditions
arising in, upon, or about the Premises or from other sources. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord in writing of any known defect in or undesirable or
dangerous condition at the Premises and shall promptly repair or correct same at
Tenant's sole cost and expense except as otherwise expressly provided in Article
10 or Article 14. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not apply to any
damage or injury caused by Landlord's or Landlord's agent's or representative's
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

        Article 10. Damage or Destruction.

             10.1 Landlord's Duty to Restore. If the Premises are damaged by any
peril after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall restore the Premises unless
the Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2 or by Tenant
pursuant to Section 10.3. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and
property damage insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 8.1 (excluding,
however, any proceeds paid with respect to any Alterations installed and paid
for by Tenant and Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures shall be paid to
and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to
either Section 10.2 or 10.3, then all insurance proceeds available from
insurance carried by Tenant, including pursuant to Section 8.1 and any other
insurance which covers loss to property that is Landlord's property on
termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord.
If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds
(if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary
governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to
completion the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law,
to substantially the same condition in which the Premises were immediately prior
to such damage. Landlord's obligation to restore shall be limited to the
Premises and Improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the
Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant's Alterations, trade fixtures and/or
personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant
shall, at its discretion, forthwith replace or fully repair all Tenant's
Alterations, trade fixtures and personal property installed by Tenant and
existing at the time of such damage or destruction.

             10.2 Landlord's Right to Terminate. Landlord shall have the right
to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right
may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to
terminate within 30 days after the date of such damage:

                  10.2.1 Either the Premises or the Building is damaged by an
Insured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds fifty
percent (50%) of the then actual replacement cost thereof;



                                       14
<PAGE>   21

                  10.2.2 Either the Premises or the Building is damaged by an
Uninsured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the then actual replacement cost thereof; provided,
however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this section if
Tenant agrees in writing to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the
damage exceeds such amount and subsequently deposits such amount with Landlord
within 30 days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate
this Lease;

                  10.2.3 The Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months
of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to
restore equals or exceeds an amount equal to six monthly installments of the
Base Rent then due; or

                  10.2.4 Either the Project or the Building is damaged by any
peril and, because of the laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at
reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to
such damage, or (ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before
such damage if restored as required by this Article.

                  10.2.5 As used herein, the following terms shall have the
following meanings: (i) the term "Insured Peril" shall mean a peril actually
insured against for which the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord
are sufficient (except for any "deductible" amount specified by such insurance)
to restore the Premises under then existing building codes to the condition
existing immediately prior to the damage; and (ii) the term "Uninsured Peril"
shall mean any peril which is not an Insured Peril. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the "deductible" for earthquake or flood insurance exceeds ten
percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such peril
shall be deemed an "Uninsured Peril."

             10.3 Tenant's Right to Terminate. If the Premises are damaged by
any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled
to terminate this Lease pursuant to paragraph 10.2, within thirty (30) days
following the date of such damage, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the
written opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant as to when
the restoration work required of Landlord may be completed. Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this lease in the event any of the following occurs,
which right may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of
election to terminate within seven (7) days after Tenant receives from Landlord
the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration.

                  10.3.1 The Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the
restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within 200 days
after the date of such damage; or

                  10.3.2 The Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve
(12) months of the last day of the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises
cannot be substantially completed within 90 days after the date of such damage
and such damage renders unusable more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises.

             10.4 Waiver of Civil Code Remedies. Tenant hereby expressly waives
any rights to terminate this Lease upon damage or destruction to the Premises
except as provided in Section 10.2 above, including without limitation any
rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2 and Section
1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time,
and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.

             10.5 No Abatement of Rentals. The Rentals and other charges due
under this Lease shall not be reduced or abated by reason of any damage or
destruction to the Premises (except to the extent of proceeds that are received
by Landlord from the Rental Loss Insurance or would have been received by
Landlord had Landlord maintained the Rental Loss Insurance required in Section
8.1 above) and Landlord shall be entitled to all proceeds of the insurance
maintained pursuant to Section 8.1 above during the period of rebuilding
pursuant to Section 10.1 above, or if the Lease is terminated pursuant to
Section 10.2 above. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord, including,
without limitation, for compensation for inconvenience or loss of business or
goodwill during any period of repair or reconstruction.

             10.6 Liability for Personal Property. In no event shall Landlord
have any liability for, nor shall it be required to repair or restore, any
injury or damage to Tenant's Personal Property or to Alterations, or any other
personal property installed in or upon the Premises by Tenant or at the expense
of Tenant, except in the event such injury or damage is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

             10.7 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens
arising out of work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by
Tenant or Tenant's agents. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord in writing
fifteen (15) days prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform
services related to (or receiving materials for use upon) the Premises, and
prior to the commencement of any work of improvement on the Premises. Landlord
shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises notices for the
protection of Landlord and the Premises from mechanics' and materialmen's liens,
including without limitation a notice of nonresponsibility. Tenant shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any liens or encumbrances
(including all costs, liabilities, and attorneys' fees with respect thereto)
arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction
of Tenant or Tenant's agents. Should any claims of lien be filed against, or any
action be commenced affecting the Premises and/or Tenant's interest in the
Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such lien or action within three
days after Tenant receives notice of the filing of the lien or the commencement
of the action. If Tenant shall not, within twenty days following the imposition
of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment or posting
of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies
provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same
to be released by such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including payment of
the claim giving rise to such lien or posting a proper bond. All such sums paid
by Landlord and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith,
including attorneys' fees and costs, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant as
Additional Rent on demand.

        Article 11. Repairs and Maintenance.

             11.1 Tenant's Maintenance and Repair Obligations. Subject to the
provisions of Article 10 above, except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.1.3
hereof, Tenant shall throughout the Lease Term, at its own cost and expense,
keep and maintain in good and sanitary order, condition, and repair the entire
Premises and every part thereof, including, without limitation, interior and
exterior (i) roof and roofing, walls, floors, ceilings, skylights, doors,
windows, plate glass, (ii) all foundations, structural and operational parts,
(iii) gas, steam, electrical, plumbing, water, sewer, lighting, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems, connections, piping,
wiring, switches, fixtures and fittings, (iv) signs, (v) curbs, sidewalks,
gutters, concrete and paving, (vi) landscaping, (vii) all Tenant Improvements to
be installed pursuant to Section 12.5. The term "repair" as used herein shall
include and mean replacements, restorations, and/or renewals when necessary, as
well as interior and exterior painting and sealing and resurfacing asphalt.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall apply:

                  11.1.1 Prior to the Commencement Date and throughout the
balance of the Lease Term, Tenant shall enter into a written contract with a
firm engaged in the business of maintaining air conditioning, ventilating and
heating equipment to perform regular and customary maintenance service and, if
necessary, to repair or replace such equipment.

                  11.1.2 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep and
maintain the landscaping of the grounds of the Premises in an attractive,
sightly and well-kept condition.

                  11.1.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, if any of Tenant's obligations under Article 11 of this Lease would
require Tenant to pay all or any portion of any charge which must be treated as
a capital improvement under generally accepted accounting principles, then
Tenant shall pay its share of such expenses as follows: the cost of such
improvement shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement (as
reasonably determined by Landlord) with interest on the unamortized balance at
the then prevailing market rate Landlord would pay if it borrowed funds to
construct such improvements from an institutional lender, and Landlord shall
inform Tenant of the monthly amortization payment required to so amortize such
costs, and shall also provide Tenant with the information upon which such
determination is made; and (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amortization
payment for each month after such improvement is completed until the first to
occur of (i) the expiration of the Lease term or (ii) the end of the term over
which such costs were amortized, which amount shall be due at the same time the
base monthly rent is due.

             11.2 Landlord Has No Duty to Maintain or Repair. As additional
consideration for this Lease, except as otherwise specifically and expressly
provided for in this Lease, Landlord shall have no duty to repair, maintain or
replace the Premises or any part or component thereof, Tenant having assumed the
duty to do so with respect to the Premises and every part and component thereof.

             11.3 Landlord May Perform Tenant's Obligations. If Tenant fails to
make any repairs or maintenance required of Tenant pursuant to this Section 11.3
within five days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, in
addition to all other remedies available hereunder or by law, and without
waiving any alternative remedies, may enter into the Premises and perform such
repairs or maintenance, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as
Additional Rent for the cost of such maintenance or repairs on the next date
upon which Base Rent becomes due; Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for
any damage, inconvenience, or interference with the use of the Premises by
Tenant as a result of performing any such repairs or maintenance.

             11.4 Waiver of Civil Code Remedies. Tenant expressly waives the
benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and
1942 of the Civil Code of California) which might otherwise afford Tenant the
right to make repairs at Landlord's expense (or to deduct the cost of such
repairs from Rentals due hereunder) or to terminate this Lease because of
Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair,
Tenant having assumed all such obligations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
Tenant's obligation to improve, repair, and maintain the Premises is part of the
consideration for Landlord's renting the Premises to Tenant.

             11.5 Surrender of Premises. Upon Lease Termination, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord free of deferred maintenance in broom clean,
good condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted (provided that normal
wear and tear shall not include any wear and tear that could have been avoided
by prudent maintenance nor shall it include wear and tear which has reached a
point where an item is an economically practical matter ought to be replaced
rather than repaired) including, without limitation, with (i) originally painted
interior walls washed, or repainted if marked or chipped, (ii) other interior
walls cleaned, repaired or replaced, (iii) all carpets cleaned and in good
condition, (iv) all electrical, gas, steam, water, lighting, plumbing, sewer,
mechanical and air conditioning, ventilating and heating systems and every part
thereof inspected and in good operating condition and repair, (v) all exterior
walls, roof and roofing, drop ceilings, plate glass, windows, doors, driveways,
paving, concrete, landscaping, lighting, in good condition and repair, (vi) all
Tenant Improvements (or their replacements) and other Alterations and every part
thereof in good operating condition and repair, and (vii) all floors cleaned,
all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Upon demand, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing any and all damage to the Premises.
If the Premises are not surrendered at Lease Termination as required by this
Section 11.5, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against claims, loss or liability
resulting from Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section
11.5, including, without limitation, any losses reasonably suffered by Landlord
due to lost opportunities to lease the Premises to succeeding tenants. Landlord
may, without abatement of Rentals, enter the Premises for alteration,
renovation, or decoration during the last thirty days of the Lease Term if
Tenant has removed substantially all of Tenant's personal property and has
ceased using the Premises for the operation of its business therein.

        Article 12.  Alterations and Additions.

             12.1 Prohibitions in General. Tenant shall not demolish or make any
alterations, additions, changes, enlargements or improvements (collectively,
"Alterations") to the Premises or any part thereof without first obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
except for any individual non-structural alteration which does not effect
materially any of the Building systems or its water tightness and the cost of
which is less than $25,000 and as to which Tenant provides Landlord a detailed
description (with plans, specifications and permits if applicable) at least ten
(10) days prior to commencement of the alteration. Landlord may impose, as a
condition to Landlord's consent, such requirements as Landlord may deem
necessary in its reasonable discretion, including without limitation: the
requirement that Tenant post a completion bond in an amount and form
satisfactory to Landlord; the requirement that upon written request of Landlord
prior to Lease Termination (or if Lease Termination occurs due to a Default by
Tenant within thirty days after Tenant quits possession of the Premises),
Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, will remove any or all Alterations to
the Premises subject to the provisions of Section 12.3 below; and the
requirement that Tenant reimburse Landlord for Landlord's actual costs incurred
in reviewing any proposed Alteration, whether or not Landlord's consent is
granted. Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any Alterations to the
Premises without acquiring and complying with the conditions of all permits
required for such work by any governmental authority having jurisdiction
thereof. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant desires to construct a cafeteria in
the Premises and Tenant acknowledges that such construction will be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Article 12.

             12.2 Surrender of Alterations and Additions. All Alterations made
to the Premises by Tenant shall at Lease Termination become the property of
Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, unless otherwise
specified by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.1 above, or by notice to Tenant
prior to Lease Termination.

             12.3 Repair of Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, repair all damage to the Premises caused by a removal by Tenant of any
Alterations pursuant to Section 12.1 above and any Personal Property pursuant to
Section 13.2 below.

12.3 above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, make any alteration, addition, or
change to the Premises of any sort, substantial or insubstantial, ordinary or
extraordinary, foreseeable or unforeseeable, whether structural or otherwise, as
may be required by law due to an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's use or
occupancy of, the Premises or as a result of Tenant's application for any permit
or governmental approval.

             12.5 Tenant Improvements. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense,
shall install the Tenant Improvements described in Exhibit "C" hereto, on the
terms and conditions contained therein.

        Article 13. Fixtures.

             13.1 Fixtures. At Lease Termination, all fixtures, other than trade
fixtures, attached to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to
be a part of the realty and the Premises. However, if Landlord elects not to
consider any of such fixtures as a part of the realty, Tenant shall remove any
and all such fixtures on or before the date of Lease Termination. Tenant at its
sole cost and expense shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by removal
of Tenant's fixtures and trade fixtures, including without limitation repairing
floors and painting walls where required by Landlord to Landlord's reasonable
satisfaction.

             13.2 Trade Fixtures and Personal Property. All personal property,
trade fixtures, machinery, tools, equipment, appliances, furniture and
furnishings (collectively "Personal Property") owned by Tenant or installed by
Tenant in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be
removed by Tenant at any time during the Lease Term when Tenant is not in
default hereunder, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.3 and 13.1 above. If
after Lease Termination and within ten days after written demand by Landlord,
Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant's Personal Property, or if removed by
Landlord, fails to pay the removal expenses, the Personal Property may be deemed
abandoned property by Landlord and may be disposed of as Landlord deems
appropriate. If, Landlord elects to remove from the Premises such Personal
Property, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of removal,
storage and disposition of such Personal Property.

        Article 14. Condemnation.

Taking.

                  14.1.3 "Partial Taking" means the Taking of only a portion of

sublease, hypothecation, encumbrance, or transfer (collectively "Transfer")
shall be evidenced by Landlord's signature on the Assumption Agreement provided
for in Section 15.3 below. Any Transfer without Landlord's consent shall
constitute a Default by Tenant and shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
Landlord's consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the
provisions of this Article 15 as to any subsequent Transfer nor a consent to any
subsequent Transfer; further, Landlord's consent to any one or more Transfers
shall not release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The
provisions of this Article 15 expressly apply to all heirs, successors,
sublessees, assignees and transferees of Tenant. All Transfers and proposed
Transfers are subject to the provisions of this Article 15. If Landlord consents
to a proposed Transfer, such Transfer shall be valid and the Transferee shall
have the right to take possession of the Premises only if an executed
counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other document evidencing the
Transfer is first delivered to Landlord, and such transfer document contains the
same terms and conditions as stated in Tenant's notice given to Landlord
pursuant to Section 15.4 below, except for any such modifications Landlord has
consented to in writing.

             15.2 Collection of Rent. Subject to Section 15.5.2 hereof, Tenant
irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, all rent to be paid by or on behalf of any Transferee not otherwise
payable to Landlord by reason of any Transfer of all or any part of the Premises
as permitted by this Article 15. Landlord, as assignee of Tenant, or a receiver
for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent and apply
it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that until
the occurrence of any Default by Tenant or except as provided by the provisions
of Section 15.6.3 below, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.



                                       22

             15.3 Assumption Agreement. As a condition to Landlord's consent to
any Transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises, Tenant and
Tenant's assignee, sublessee, encumbrancer, hypothecate, or transferee
(collectively "Transferee"), shall execute a written Assumption Agreement, in a
form approved by Landlord, which Agreement shall include a provision that
Tenant's Transferee shall expressly assume all obligations of Tenant under this
Lease, and be and remain jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the
performance of all conditions, covenants, and obligations under this Lease from
the effective date of the Transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease.

             15.4 Request for Transfer. Tenant shall give Landlord at least
fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any desired Transfer and of the
proposed terms of such Transfer, including but not limited to: the name and
legal composition of the proposed Transferee; an audited financial statement, if
applicable of the proposed Transferee prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles within one year prior to the proposed effective
date of the Transfer; the nature of the proposed Transferee's business to be
carried on in the Premises; the payment to be made or other consideration to be
given on account of the Transfer; a current financial statement of Tenant; and
other such pertinent information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, all
in sufficient detail to enable Landlord to evaluate the proposed Transfer and
the prospective Transferee. Tenant's notice shall not be deemed to have been
served or given until such time as Tenant has provided Landlord with all
information reasonably requested by Landlord pursuant to this Section 15.4 and
Landlord shall notify Tenant within fifteen (15) days thereafter whether
Landlord will grant or withhold its consent. In the event that Landlord fails to
grant or deny consent within such fifteen (15) day period, such consent shall be
deemed denied. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any modification to
the proposed terms of such Transfer or any change in the information provided to
Landlord pursuant to this Section 15.4.

             15.5 Conditional Consent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer
proposed by Tenant, Tenant may enter into such Transfer, and if Tenant does so,
the following shall apply:

                  15.5.1 Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the
performance of all of its obligations under the Lease.

                  15.5.2 If Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all subrent (as defined in
section 15.5.5 below) received by Tenant over and above (i) the assignee's
agreement to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) all
Permitted Transfer Costs related to such assignment. In the case of assignment,
the amount of subrent owed to Landlord shall be paid to Landlord on the same
basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such subrent is paid to Tenant by
the assignee. In calculating Landlord's share of any periodic payments, all
Permitted Transfer Costs shall be first recovered by Tenant.

                  15.5.3 If Tenant sublets all or any part of the Premises, then
with respect to



                                       23
<PAGE>   30

the space so subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the
positive difference, if any, between (i) all subrent actually paid by the
subtenant to Tenant, less (ii) the sum of all Base Rent and Additional Rent
allocable to the space sublet and all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such
sublease. Such amount shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether
periodic or in lump sum, that such subrent is paid to Tenant by its subtenant.
In calculating Landlord's share of any periodic payments, all Permitted Transfer
Costs shall be first recovered by Tenant.

                  15.5.4 Tenant's obligations under this Section 15.5 shall
survive any Transfer, and Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder
shall be a Default by Tenant. At the time Tenant makes any payment to Landlord
required by this section, Tenant shall deliver an itemized statement of the
method by which the amount of which Landlord is entitled was calculated,
certified by Tenant as true and correct. Landlord shall have the right at
reasonable intervals to inspect Tenant's books and records relating to the
payments due hereunder. Upon request therefore, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
copies of all bills, invoices or other documents upon which its calculations are
based. Landlord may condition its approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a
certification from both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all subrent and
other amounts that are to be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.

                  15.5.5 As used in this section, the term "subrent" shall mean
any consideration of any kind received, or to be received by Tenant, as rent or
in lieu of rent, including payments from or on behalf of the transferee (in
excess of the book value thereof) for Tenant's assets, fixtures, leasehold
improvements, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, and general
intangibles. As used in this section, the term "Permitted Transfer costs" shall
mean (i) all reasonable leasing commissions paid to third parties not affiliated
with Tenant in order to obtain the Transfer in question, (ii) all reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the Transfer in question, and
(iii) the reasonable cost of improvements installed in the premises at the cost
and expense of Tenant for the benefit of the subtenant.

             15.6 Corporations and Partnerships. If Tenant is a partnership, any
withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of
law and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any
partner(s) owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the partnership, any
assignments) of fifty percent (50%) or more (cumulatively) of any interest in
the capital or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership
shall be deemed a Transfer of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written consent and
without any participation by Landlord in assignment and subletting proceeds,
sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to: (i) a subsidiary, affiliate,
division or corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with
Tenant; (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation,
nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action; or (iii) a purchaser of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located in the Premises; provided, however,
that the entity occupying the Premises on the first day after the date of any
assignment, transfer or subletting of the Premises pursuant to subsections (i)
through (iii) of this Section 15.6 has a net worth that is greater than or equal
to the



                                       24
<PAGE>   31

greater of (a) the net worth of the Tenant on the Commencement Date, or (b) the
net worth of the Tenant on the day prior to the day of assignment, subletting or
transfer to such entity. For the purpose of this Lease, sale of Tenant's capital
stock through any public exchange shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting,
or any other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.

             15.7 Reasonable Provisions. Tenant expressly agrees that the
provisions of this Article 15 are not unreasonable standards or conditions for
purposes of Sections 1951.4(b)(2) and 1995.260 of the California Civil Code, as
amended from time to time.

             15.8 Reimbursement of Landlord's Costs. Tenant shall pay upon
demand Landlord's actual and reasonably incurred attorneys' fees, engineering
fees, architects fees, and fees of any other consultant engaged by Landlord for
reviewing, investigating, processing and/or documenting any requested Transfer,
whether or not Landlord's consent is granted.

        Article 16. Subordination; Lender Approval; Attornment; Estoppel
Certificates: Financial Statements.

             16.1 Subordination. Subject to section 16.2 hereof, this Lease
shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of
trust(including all advances thereunder, renewals, replacements, modifications,
supplements, consolidations, and extensions thereof) in any amounts) whatsoever
now or hereafter placed on or against (i) the Premises, or (ii) Landlord's
interest or estate therein, without the necessity of the execution and delivery
of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such
subordination. If the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust constituting a
first lien against the Premises shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien
of its mortgage or deed of trust and shall give written notice thereof to
Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust and,
if the holder of the first mortgage or deed of trust so specifies shall be prior
to all other mortgages and deeds of trust affecting the Premises whether this
Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of such mortgage or deed of
trust or the date of the recording thereof. Any such holder of a first mortgage
or deed of trust may also require that although this Lease is made prior to such
mortgage or deed of trust, the holder's rights in connection with insurance
proceeds, condemnation proceeds, other liens and/or other matters described by
such holder may be made senior to this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder,
and Tenant shall subordinate this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder to any or
all such matters as requested by such holder.

             16.2 Subordination Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, this Lease shall not be subject to or subordinate to any
ground or underlying lease or to any lien, mortgage, deed of trust, or security
interest now or hereafter affecting the Premises, nor shall Tenant be required
to execute any documents subordinating this Lease, unless the ground lessor,
lender, or other holder of the interest to which this Lease shall be
subordinated contemporaneously executes a recognition and nondisturbance
agreement which (i) provides that this Lease shall not be terminated so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease and (ii) subject to modifications of
this Lease permitted by section 16.3 below, recognizes all of Tenant's



                                       25
<PAGE>   32

rights hereunder. Tenant shall execute and deliver within five (5) business days
after demand, without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing
subordination of this Lease to ground or underlying leases and/or to the lien of
any first mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the Premises as may be required
by Landlord; provided that such mortgagee or beneficiary under such mortgage or
deed of trust or lessor under such ground or underlying lease agrees in writing
that this Lease shall not be terminated in the event of any foreclosure if
Tenant is not in default under this Lease at the time of such foreclosure.
Tenant's failure to execute and timely deliver such instruments evidencing
subordination of this Lease shall constitute a Default by Tenant hereunder.

             16.3 Approval by Lenders. Tenant recognizes that the provisions of
this Lease may be subject to the approval of any financial institution that may
make a loan secured by a new or subsequent deed of trust or mortgage affecting
the Premises if Landlord refinances or otherwise modifies any existing financing
on the Premises. If the financial institution should require, as a condition to
such financing, any modifications of this Lease, including without limitation,
modification of the provisions relating to damage to and/or condemnation of the
Premises, Tenant agrees to execute the appropriate amendments; provided,
however, that no modification shall increase the Rentals payable by Tenant
hereunder or materially increase any other obligation of Tenant or materially
decreases any right of Tenant. Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver to
Landlord any such amendment within five business days after demand shall
constitute a Default by Tenant hereunder.

             16.4 Attornment. In the event of foreclosure or the exercise of the
power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord and covering
the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or
sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease, provided
such purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the
Lease.

             16.5 Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements.

                  16.5.1 Delivery by Tenant. Tenant shall, within five business
days following request by Landlord therefor and without charge, execute and
deliver to Landlord any and all documents requested by Landlord in connection
with the sale or financing of the Premises or any lender making a loan affecting
the Premises, including without limitation estoppel certificates and current
financial statements of Tenant. Landlord may require that any estoppel
certificates shall (i) certify that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect (or, if modified, state the nature of such modification and certify
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and has not been
assigned, (ii) certify the date to which Rentals are paid in advance, if any,
(iii) acknowledge that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specify such defaults if claimed,
(iv) evidence the status of this Lease as may be required either by a lender
making a loan to Landlord to be secured by a deed of trust or mortgage covering
the Premises or a purchaser of the Premises from Landlord, (v) warrant that in
the event any beneficiary of any security instrument encumbering the Premises



                                       26
<PAGE>   33

forecloses on the security instrument or sells the Premises pursuant to any
power of sale contained in such security instrument, such beneficiary and its
transferee shall not be liable for the Security Deposit or for any claim of
damages or set off as a result of any pre-foreclosures or pre-sale breach by
Landlord, (vi) certify the date Tenant entered into occupancy of the Premises
and that Tenant is conducting business at the Premises, and (vii) certify such
other matters relating to the Lease and/or Premises as may be requested by a
lender making a loan to Landlord or a purchaser of the Premises from Landlord.
Any such estoppel certificate may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Any financial statements of Tenant
shall include an opinion of a certified public accountant (if available) and a
balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent fiscal year, all
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. Upon ten (10) days prior written request from Landlord
(which Landlord may make at any time during the Lease Term but not more often
than two (2) times any calendar year), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
current financial statement of Tenant. Landlord shall have a reciprocal
obligation to provide an estoppel certificate for the benefit of Tenant. If
Landlord shall fail to respond within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of a
written request by Tenant for such a certificate, Landlord shall be deemed to
have certified that the Lease is in full force and effect, that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, that the security deposit is as
stated in the Lease, and that not more than one 91) month's Rent has been paid
in advance.

                  16.5.2 Failure to Deliver. Tenant's failure to timely deliver
an estoppel certificate as required pursuant to Section 16.5.1 above shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) there are now no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, (iii) no Rentals have been paid in
advance except those that are set forth in this Lease, (iv) no beneficiary of
any security instrument encumbering the Premises or its transferee shall be
liable for the Security Deposit or for any claim of damages or set off as a
result of any pre-foreclosure or pre-sale breach by Landlord in the event of a
foreclosure or sale under such security instrument, and (v) Tenant has entered
into occupancy of the Premises on such date as may be represented by Landlord
and is open and conducting business at the Premises. Tenant's failure to timely
deliver any financial statements or estoppel certificates as required pursuant
to Section 16.5.1 above shall be a Default by Tenant.

        Article 17. Remedies Upon Default by Tenant.

             17.1 Events of Default. The term "Default by Tenant" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:

             17.1.1 Failure by Tenant to pay when due any Rentals required or
due hereunder when such failure continues for more than five (5) days after
written demand for payment is delivered by Landlord to Tenant;

             17.1.2 Vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;



                                       27
<PAGE>   34

                  17.1.3 Commencement, and continuation for at least sixty (60)
days, of any case, action, or proceeding by, against, or concerning Tenant under
any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other debtor's relief law,
including without limitation, (i) a case under Title 11 of the United States
Code concerning Tenant or Guarantor, whether under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of such
Title or under any other Chapter, or (ii) a case, action, or proceeding seeking
Tenant's financial reorganization or an arrangement with any of Tenant's
creditors;

                  17.1.4 Voluntary or involuntary appointment of a receiver,
trustee, keeper, or other person who takes possession for more than thirty days
of substantially all of Tenant's assets or of any asset used in Tenant's
business on the Premises, regardless of whether such appointment is as a result
of insolvency or any other cause;

                  17.1.5 Execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors
of substantially all assets of Tenant available by law for the satisfaction of
judgment creditors;

                  17.1.6 Commencement of proceedings for winding up or
dissolving (whether voluntary or involuntary) the entity of Tenant;

                  17.1.7 Levy of a writ of attachment or execution on Tenant's
interest under this Lease, if such writ continues for a period of twenty days;

                  17.1.8 Use of the Premises for an unlawful purpose or the
occurrence of a nuisance or waste in or on the Premises in violation of
subsection 5.5.2 hereof;

                  17.1.9 Failure by Tenant to keep in force the insurance
required by section 8.1.

                  17.1.10 Transfer or attempted Transfer of this Lease by Tenant
contrary to the provisions of Article 15 above;

                  17.1.11 Failure by Tenant to timely execute and deliver a
subordination agreement, or estoppel certificate, or lease amendment, or failure
to timely deliver a financial statement, or any other document, as required
under Article 16 hereof; or

                  17.1.12 Failure by Tenant to timely observe or perform any
other term, covenant, condition, warranty, or provision contained in this Lease
when such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after demand, provided
that if performance or observance requires more than ten (10) days (and cannot
be accomplished by the payment of money) then so long as Tenant initiates the
performance or observance within said ten (10) days and thereafter diligently
pursues same to completion no Default by Tenant shall be deemed to have
occurred.

             17.2 Rights of Landlord Upon Tenant's Default. Upon any Default by
Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right
to possession of the Premises by giving written notice of termination to Tenant,
and to recover from Tenant:



                                       28
<PAGE>   35

                  17.2.1 The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rentals
which had been earned at the time of termination;

                  17.2.2 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid Rentals 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;

                  17.2.3 The worth at the time of award (computed by discounting
at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of
award plus one percent) of the amount by which the unpaid Rentals for the
balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

                  17.2.4 Any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for
detriment proximately caused by the Default by Tenant or which in the ordinary
course of events would likely result, including without limitation the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in:

                       (i) Retaking possession of the Premises;

                       (ii) Cleaning and making repairs and alterations
(including installation of leasehold improvements, whether or not the same shall
be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance or otherwise)
necessary to return the Premises to good condition and to prepare the Premises
for reletting;

                       (iii) Removing, transporting, and storing any of Tenant's
property left at the Premises (although Landlord shall have no obligation to
remove, transport, or store any of the property);

                       (iv) Reletting the Premises, including without
limitation, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, and attorneys' fees;

                       (v) Attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, consultants and
court costs; and

                       (vi) Costs of carrying the Premises such as repairs,
maintenance, taxes and insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions
(if any).

                  17.2.5 The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts
referred to in subparagraphs 17.2.1 and 17.2.2 of this Section 17.2 is computed
by allowing interest at the lesser of ten percent per annum or the maximum rate
allowed by law.

             17.3 Continuance of Lease. Upon Default by Tenant and unless and
until Landlord



                                       29
<PAGE>   36

elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 17.2 above, this Lease shall
continue in effect after the Default by Tenant and Landlord may enforce all
rights and remedies under this Lease, including without limitation, the right to
recover payment of Rentals as they become due. Neither efforts by Landlord to
mitigate damages caused by a Default by Tenant nor the acceptance of any Rentals
shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of Landlord's rights or remedies,
including the rights and remedies specified in Section 17.2 above. The rights of
Landlord under this Article 17 shall be additional to all other rights to which
Landlord is entitled in accordance with applicable law.

             17.4 Reletting Premises. Upon Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at
Landlord's election, reenter the Premises, and without terminating this Lease,
and at any time and from time to time, relet the Premises or any part or parts
thereof for the account and in the name of Tenant or otherwise. Landlord may at
Landlord's election eject Tenant or any of Tenant's subtenants, assignees or
other persons claiming any right in or through this Lease. Tenant shall
nevertheless pay to Landlord on the due date specified in this Lease all Rentals
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, plus Landlord's expenses, less
the proceeds of any sublease or reletting. The expenses allowed Landlord shall
include without limitation costs paid to retake possession of the Premises
(including attorneys' fees), costs to place the Premises in its original
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, costs to secure new tenants
(including broker's commissions and attorneys' fees) and costs to fulfill all of
Tenant's covenants and conditions hereunder to the end of the Lease Term. No act
by or on behalf of Landlord under this Section 17.4 shall constitute a
termination of this Lease unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of
termination. Notwithstanding any prior reletting without termination, Landlord
may later elect to terminate this Lease because of Default by Tenant.

             17.5 Attorneys' Fees. Tenant shall pay reasonable fees and costs of
attorneys engaged by Landlord in collection of Rentals or to enforce any of
Landlord's rights and remedies under this Article 17 and applicable law.

             17.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives
trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of this Lease or its
execution or negotiation whether based on contract or tort and whether brought
by either Landlord or Tenant.

             17.7 Waiver of Rights of Redemption. In the event Landlord (i)
lawfully terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, or (ii) if
Tenant abandons same or the Lease otherwise terminates (whether by the
expiration of the period set forth in a notice of default, decision of a court,
or otherwise), Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights to recover or
regain possession of the Premises or to reinstate or redeem this Lease to which
it may be entitled by or under any present or future law including without
limitation, Section 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. In
addition, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right to bring any action
whatsoever against any tenant taking possession of the Premises after Tenant has
been dispossessed or evicted hereunder or has abandoned, delivered, or


                                       30
<PAGE>   37

surrendered possession of the Premises, or to make any such tenant a party to
any action brought by Tenant against Landlord.

             17.8 Default and Litigation Notice Provisions. For purposes of Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1162, Tenant's "place of residence" and "usual place
of business" shall be the Premises and for purposes of Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 1011 and 1013, concerning service of notices or papers during
litigation, "residence" and "office" of Tenant shall mean and be the Premises
until Tenant has released actual and legal possession of the Premises to
Landlord or has appeared in such litigation by California licensed legal
counsel.

             17.9 Remedies are Cumulative. Each of the remedies provided
Landlord hereunder cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and
remedies now or hereafter allowed either hereunder or by law, equity or
agreement of the parties.

        Article 18. Holding Over.

             18.1 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further
notice at the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant after the
expiration of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the
Lease Term or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly
provided in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration of the Lease Term,
with the express consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy from
month to month, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent for the
month preceding the expiration of the Lease Term in addition to all Additional
Rent payable hereunder, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions
herein specified insofar as applicable. If Tenant remains in possession of the
Premises after expiration of the Lease Term or other Lease Termination without
Landlord's consent, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss or
liability resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises, including
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant based on delay in
the availability of the Premises.

<PAGE>   39

        Article 22. Landlord Default.

             22.1 No Default Without Notice. Landlord shall not be in default
under this Lease unless Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of the
breach and, within thirty days after notice, Landlord has not cured the breach
or, if the breach is such that it cannot reasonably be cured under the
circumstances within thirty days, has not commenced to the cure within said
thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursued same to completion. In the
event of any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall give
notice of same by certified mail, return receipt requested, to any beneficiary
of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage, affecting the Premises whose
address shall have been furnished to it, and shall offer such beneficiary or
mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain
possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such
should prove necessary to effect a cure.

        Article 23. Limitation on Landlord Liability.

             23.1 No Personal Liability. Any money judgment attained by Tenant
(whether tort or contract and including costs and attorneys' fees) based upon
Landlord's breach of this Lease or of a duty or claims arising out of this Lease
or in connection with this Lease and its subject matters shall be satisfied only
out of Landlord's insurance and the proceeds of the sale or disposition of
Landlord's interest in the Premises (whether by Landlord or by execution of
judgment) and Landlord shall have no personal liability therefor. In no event
shall Landlord or its agents be liable to Tenant for consequential damages,
including without limitation, lost profits or lost goodwill and Tenant waives
any right to assert claims for same against Landlord or its agents.

        Article 24. Quiet Enjoyment.

             24.1 Express Conditional Covenant. Landlord covenants and agrees
with Tenant that upon Tenant paying Rentals and timely performing all of its
covenants and conditions under the Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Lease Term, subject, however,
to the terms of this Lease and any mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the
Premises, and the rights reserved by Landlord hereunder.

        Article 25. Surrender.

             25.1 Free of Liens. Tenant shall vacate and deliver possession of
the Premises free and clear of all liens, charges, or encumbrances thereon

violations of applicable laws of any federal, state, municipal, or other agency
or authority, and shall indemnify Landlord against any and all loss, expense,
damage, costs, and attorneys' fees arising out of Tenant's failure to do so.

<PAGE>   40

        Article 26. Waiver.

             26.1 No Implied Waiver. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any
term, covenant or condition herein contained (or the acceptance by Landlord of
any performance by Tenant after the time the same shall become due) shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent
breach thereof or of any other term, covenant or condition herein contained,
unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing. The acceptance by
Landlord of any sum less than that which is required to be paid by Tenant shall
be deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it
is paid (or for which it is allocated by Landlord, in Landlord's absolute
discretion, if Tenant does not designate the obligation as to which the payment
should be credited), and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary written on any check or contained
in any letter of transmittal. No custom or practice which may arise between the
parties hereto in the administration of the terms of this Lease shall be
construed as a waiver or diminution of Landlord's right to demand performance by
Tenant in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease.

        Article 27. Entire Agreement.

             27.1 Integration Provision. Any agreements, warranties, or
representations not expressly contained herein shall in no way bind either
Landlord or Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant expressly waive all claims for
damages by reason of any statement, representation, warranty, promise or
agreement, if any, not contained in this Lease. This Lease supersedes and
cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements
and understandings, whether written or oral, between Landlord and its agents and
Tenant and its agents with respect to the Premises or this Lease. This Lease
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and is intended by
the parties as a final expression of their agreement and may not be contradicted
by evidence of any prior argument or of a contemporaneous oral agreement. This
Lease is further intended by the parties as a complete and exclusive statement
of the terms of the parties agreement and may not be explained or supplemented
by evidence of consistent additional terms. No addition to, or modification of,
any term or provision of this Lease shall be effective until and unless set
forth in a written instrument signed by both Landlord and Tenant.

        Article 28. Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant's Covenants.

             28.1 Landlord May Perform. If Tenant shall at any time fail to make
any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed under
this Lease, including without limitation the payments and obligations described
in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 10, Landlord may upon fifteen days written
notice to Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, and without waiving or
releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, make such payment or
perform such other act to the extent that Landlord may deem desirable, and in
connection therewith, pay expenses and employ counsel. All sums so paid by
Landlord and all penalties, interest and costs



                                       34
<PAGE>   41

in connections therewith shall be due and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent
upon demand.

        Article 29. Guaranty.

             29.1 [Intentionally Omitted].

        Article 30. General.

             30.1 Headings. The section and subsection headings used in this
Lease are for convenience of reference only. They shall not be construed to
limit or extend the meaning of any part of this Lease, and shall not be deemed
relevant in resolving any question of interpretation or construction of any
section of this Lease.

             30.2 Definition of Landlord. The term "Landlord" as used in this
Lease, so far as the covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are
concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner at the time in
question of the fee title to the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such
interest, the Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or
conveyances, the then grantor) shall from and after the date of such transfer or
conveyance be automatically freed and relieved of all liability with respect to
performance to any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in
this Lease which are to be performed or first arise on and after the date of
such transfer or conveyance. The covenants and obligations contained in this
Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Section
30.2, be binding upon each Landlord and its heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns only during its respective period of ownership. Except as
provided in this Section 30.2, this Lease shall not be affected by any transfer
of Landlord's interest in the Premises, and Tenant shall attorn to any
transferee of Landlord provided that all of Landlord's obligations hereunder are
assumed in writing by such transferee.

             30.3 Exhibits. All exhibits attached to this Lease shall be deemed
to be incorporated herein by the individual reference to each such exhibit, and
all such exhibits shall be deemed to be a part of this Lease as though set forth
in full in the body of the Lease.

             30.4 Definition of Agents. For purposes of this Lease and without
otherwise affecting the definition of the word "agent" or the meaning of
"agency," the term "agents" shall be deemed to include the agents, employees,
servants, invitees, contractors, successors, guests, customers, subcontractors,
representatives, partners, affiliated companies, and any other person or entity
related in any way to the respective party, Landlord or Tenant.

             30.5 Interpretation of Terms. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as
used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in
neuter gender include the masculine and feminine and words in the masculine or
feminine gender include the neuter.

             30.6 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each
of which



                                       35
<PAGE>   42

shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts when taken together shall be
deemed one agreement.

             30.7 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence as to each and every
provision in this Lease requiring performance or observance by Tenant within a
specified time.

             30.8 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, but this Lease shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been
contained herein. However, if Tenant's obligation to pay the Rentals is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, this Lease at the option of Landlord
shall terminate.

             30.9 Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall, at
the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenants,
or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any
or all such subleases of subtenants.

             30.10 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

             30.11 Authority. Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of
a corporation, limited liability company or partnership represents and warrants
that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of
and as the act of said entity in accordance with the bylaws or other governing
agreement of said entity, and this Lease is binding upon and enforceable against
said entity in accordance with its terms.

             30.12 Irrevocable Offer to Lease. Once signed by Tenant and
delivered to Landlord, this Lease shall constitute an irrevocable offer to Lease
which shall lapse automatically five business days thereafter if not signed and
returned by Landlord within said five business days.

             30.13 Representation by Legal Counsel. Tenant warrants and
represents that it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its
choice with respect to the negotiation and execution of this Lease and has fully
represented and accepts the legal implications and consequences of each and
every provision hereof and agrees that no provision is unenforceable as being
unconscionable, under Civil Code Section 1670.5 or on any other grounds, and
waives any right to claim otherwise.

hereto:

with the negotiation of this Lease, except for the real estate brokers or agents
identified on the signature page hereof ("Brokers") and that they know of no
other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission or finder's
fee in connection with this Lease, and Landlord not Tenant shall be responsible
for Commissions, if any, due to the Brokers under a separate agreement. Each
party shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless the other party
against all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) for any leasing commission,
finder's fee, or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the
indemnifying party's deals with any real estate broker or agent other than the
Brokers. The terms of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease Term.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease as of the date set
forth above.
