          (C)  Additional Rent.  Beginning with the commencement of the term
               ---------------
of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in addition to the Base Rent and as
Additional Rent the following:

               (i)   Taxes.
                     -----

                     (a)  As Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph
40 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Real Property Taxes. The term
"Real Property Taxes," as used herein, shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments,
levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special,
foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest
required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and
any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership of
the Complex) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy
assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value,
occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Complex (as now constructed or as
may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or
Landlord's interest therein; any improvements located within the Complex
(regardless of ownership); the fixtures, equipment and other property of
Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located in the
Complex; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Complex; (ii)
all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or
other governmental control of the Complex; and (iii) all costs and fees
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in contesting any Real Property
Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If
at any time during the term of this Lease the taxation or assessment of the
Complex prevailing as of the commencement date of this Lease shall be altered so
that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property tax described above there
shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the
method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other
cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or
occupancy of the Complex or Landlord's interest therein or (ii) on

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Complex, on
Landlord's business of leasing the Complex, or computed in any manner with
respect to the operation of the Complex, then any such tax or charge, however
designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property
Taxes" for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon
property or rents unrelated to the Complex then only that part of such Real
Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Complex shall be included within
the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes." Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or
franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on
Landlord's income from all sources.

                     (b)  Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any charges,
levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulations or other
government control of the Parcel relating to toxic wastes or damage to the
environment which Tenant does not create and, in the event Tenant does create
such toxic wastes or damage to the environment and is therefore obligated to pay
such charges, levies or fees, such obligation shall be limited to those charges
which are required to be paid for clean-up or otherwise by applicable law or
governmental authority. Furthermore, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Tenant harmless from any and all charges, levies, fees, and all other
claims and damages, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
sustained by Tenant ("Claims") resulting from environmental regulations or
government control of the Parcel relating to toxic wastes or damage to the
environment except to the extent caused by Tenant.

                     (c)  Tenant shall have no obligation to pay tax increases
resulting from the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer of the Building
and/or the Parcel (i.e., Proposition 13 increases).

                     (d)  Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days
before delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures
placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion
therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of
Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on
such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless
of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant.
Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so
levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such
increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have
the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord's full cooperation, to
bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any
such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to
Tenant, (ii) if the Tenant makes improvements in the Premises, whether
installed, and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to
the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property
tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office
improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property
taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such
excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal
property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of 3(C)(i)(a) above.
If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to
serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are assessed
at a higher valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the
Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If
the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to
serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction
shall be used.

               (ii)  Property Insurance.  Landlord shall purchase and keep in
                     ------------------
force and as Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of a policy or policies of insurance
covering loss or damage to the Premises and Complex in the amount of the full
replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils included
within the classification of "all risks" insurance and flood and/or earthquake
insurance, if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount
of one hundred percent (100%) of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid
as Additional Rent. If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant's use of
the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of
such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of
any insurance procured by Landlord for the Complex.

          Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to
the extent of insurance coverage of the releasing party, from any liability for
loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties
included in the releasing party's insurance policies, irrespective of the cause
of such fire or casualty; provided, however, that if the insurance policy of
either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take
effect until consent to such waiver is obtained.  If such waiver is so
prohibited, the insured party affected shall promptly notify the other party
thereof.

               (iii) Expenses of Operation, Management and Maintenance of the
                     --------------------------------------------------------

annum on the unamortized balance) as an operating expense in accordance with
standard accounting practices; provided, that such amortization is not at a rate
greater than the anticipated savings in the operating expenses.

repayments; interest on charges; expenses directly or indirectly incurred by
Landlord for the benefit of any other tenant; cost for the installation of
partitioning or any other Tenant improvements; cost of attracting tenants;

standard accounting practices, provided, that such amortization is not at a rate
greater than the anticipated savings in the operating expenses. Tenant hereby
waives all rights under, and benefits of, subsection 1 of Section 1932 and
Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and under any similar law,
statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

               (iv)  Utilities of the Building in Which the Premises are

time in satisfactory condition, for Tenant's purposes.

expense of Tenant.  All alterations, decorations, additions or improvements upon
the Premises made by either party, including (without limiting the generality of
the foregoing) all wall coverings, built-in cabinet work, paneling and the like,
shall, unless Landlord elects otherwise, become the property of Landlord and
shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises, as a part thereof, at
the end of the term hereof, except that Landlord may, by written notice to
Tenant, delivered at the time Tenant requests permission from Landlord to make
such alterations or improvements, require Tenant to remove all partitions,
counters, railings and the like installed by Tenant, and Tenant shall repair or,
at Landlord's option, shall pay to the Landlord all costs arising from such
removal.

     All personal property, office machinery and equipment, furniture and
movable partitions owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense 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.  If
Tenant shall fail to remove all of its effects from said Premises upon
termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Landlord may, at its option,
remove the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose, and store said effects
and to the extent permitted by Law Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand any
and all expenses incurred in such removal, including court costs and attorneys'
fees and storage charges on such effects for any length of time that the same
shall be in Landlord's possession; or Landlord may, at

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

its option, without notice, sell said effects, or any of the same, at private
sale, for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale
upon the expenses incident to the removal and sale of said effects.

    11.   REPAIRS.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 43 by entry
          -------                                                         
hereunder Tenant accepts the Premises as being in condition acceptable by
Tenant, except as may be told to Landlord in writing within ten (10) days of
entry hereunder.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the
Premises and every part thereof in the same condition and repair as delivered,
ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond the reasonable control of
Tenant excepted.  Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
term hereof, surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as when
received, ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond the reasonable
control of Tenant excepted.  Landlord shall have no obligation to alter,
remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and
the parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant
respecting the conditions of the Premises or the Complex except as specifically
herein set forth.

    12.   LIENS.  Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Complex and the property
          -----                                                              
upon which the Complex is situated free from any liens arising out of the work
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant.

    13.   ENTRY BY LANDLORD.  Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times
          -----------------                                                  
have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial
services and any other service to be provided to Tenant by Landlord hereunder,
to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of
nonresponsibility, to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any portion of
the Complex, all without being deemed guilty of an eviction of Tenant and
without abatement of rent, and may erect scaffolding and other necessary
structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be
performed, provided that the business of the Tenant shall be interfered with as
little as is reasonably practicable.  Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages
for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss
occasioned thereby so long as Landlord's entry is reasonable.  For each of the
aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which
to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's
vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means
which Landlord may deem proper to open said door in an emergency in order to
obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord
by any of said means, or otherwise, shall so long as reasonable under the
circumstances not 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, and any reasonable damages caused on account thereof
shall be paid by Tenant.  It is understood and agreed that no provision of the
Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed herein to be
performed by Landlord.

    14.   INDEMNIFICATIONS.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
          ----------------                                                   
against and from any and all causes and claims including, but not limited to,
those arising from Tenant's use of the premises or the conduct of its business
or from any activity, work done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about
the premises, and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and
from any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of
any obligation of Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease,
or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of the Tenant, or of its
agents or employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses
and liabilities incurred in or about such claim or any action or proceeding
brought thereon, and in case any action or proceeding be brought against
Landlord by reason of any such claim.  Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall
defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord; provided however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be
effective if any such claims arose from the active neglect or willful misconduct
of Landlord.  Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord,
hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to person in, upon or
about the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold
harmless Tenant against and from any and all causes and claims arising from the
active neglect or willful misconduct or intentional failure of Landlord to
observe any of the terms.

    15.   DAMAGE TO TENANT'S PROPERTY.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
          ---------------------------                                   
Paragraph 15 to the contrary, neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable
for any damage to property entrusted to employees of the Complex, nor for loss
of or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage
to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam,
gas, electricity, water which may leak from any part of the Complex or from the
pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the street or sub-surface or
form any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever,
unless the same is caused by the active negligence or willful or reckless
misconduct of the Landlord.  Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any
latent defect in the Premises or in the Complex.  Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence however, Landlord shall be responsible for any damage caused by defects
in the roof up until the time Landlord replaces aid roof during the leasehold
period.  Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or
accidents in the Premises or in the Complex or of defects therein or in the
fixtures or equipment.

    16.   INSURANCE SUBROGATION.  The parties release each other, and their
          ---------------------                                           
respective authorized representatives, from any claims for damage to any person
or to the Premises or the complex and to the fixtures, personal property,
Tenant's improvements, and alterations of either Landlord or Tenant in or on the
Premises that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any
insurance policies carried by the parties and in force at the time of any such
damage.

     Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that
the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against
either party in connection with any damage covered by any policy.  Neither party
shall be liable to the other for any damages caused by fire and any of the risks
insured against under any insurance policy required by this Lease.

    17.   LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and
          -------------------                                               
keep in force during the term of this Lease, a policy of comprehensive public
liability insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising
out of the ownership, use, occupancy, maintenance, repair or improvement of the
Premises and as appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall provide $1,000,000.00
combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage. The limits of said
insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of the Tenant hereunder, and
Tenant is responsible for ensuring that the amount of liability insurance
carried by Tenant is sufficient for Tenant's purposes. Tenant may carry said
insurance under a blanket policy, satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail
to procure and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required
to, procure and maintain same, but at the expense of Tenant. Insurance required
hereunder shall be in companies rated A+ AAA or better in "Best's Insurance
Guide." Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to occupancy of the Premises
copies of policies of liability insurance required herein or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with evidence
satisfactory to Landlord of payment of premiums. No policy shall be cancelable
or subject to reduction of coverage except after fifteen (15) days' prior
written notice to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that insurance
coverage carried by Landlord will not cover Tenant's property within the
Premises or the Complex and that Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, for providing insurance coverage for Tenant's movable

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

equipment, furnishing, trade fixtures and other personal property in or upon the
Premises or the Complex, and for any alterations, additions or improvements to
or of the Premises or any part thereof made by Tenant, in the event of damage or
loss thereto from any cause whatsoever.

          (A)  Tenant's Personal Property Insurance and Workman's Compensation
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
Insurance.  Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property
---------                                                                 
damage insurance in "all risk" form with a sprinkler leakage endorsement
insuring the personal property, inventory, trade fixtures, and leasehold
improvements within the Premises for the full replacement value thereof.  The
proceeds from any of such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement
of such items so insured.

     Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of workman's compensation
insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with all
laws.

    18.   DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
          ---------------------

          (A)  In the event the Complex of which the Premises or a part thereof
is damaged the Landlord shall:

               (i)   In the event of the destruction of all or more than
     twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Complex, at
     Landlord's option, within a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, commence
     repair, reconstruction and restoration of said Complex and prosecute the
     same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in
     full force and effect, or within said ninety (90) day period elect not to
     so repair, reconstruct or restore said Complex in which event this Lease
     shall terminate. In either event, Landlord shall give the Tenant written
     notice of its intention within said ninety (90) day period. In the event
     Landlord elects not to restore said Complex, said Lease shall be deemed to
     have terminated as of the date of such total destruction.

               (ii)  In the event of a partial destruction of the Complex to
     an extent not exceeding Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the full insurable
     value thereof and if the damage thereto is such that the Complex may be
     repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of ninety (90) days
     from the date of the happening of such casualty and Landlord will receive
     insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, Landlord
     shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair,
     reconstruction and restoration and the Lease shall continue in full force
     and effect.

          (B)  Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions
of this Paragraph, the parties shall be released thereby without further
obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered
to the Landlord except for items which have therefore accrued and are then
unpaid.

          (C)  In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration as herein
provided, the rental provided to be paid under this Lease shall be abated
proportionally in the ratio which the Tenant's use of said Premises is impaired
during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration.  The Tenant
shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss in the use of the
whole or any part of said Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance
occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

          (D)  Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under
this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this
Paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph,
should Landlord be delayed or prevented from repairing or restoring said damaged
Premises within one (1) year after the occurrence of such damage or destruction
by reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure
the necessary labor or materials, or other causes beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord, the Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such
repairs or restoration and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under
this Lease as of the end of said one (1) year period.

          (E)  It is hereby understood that if Landlord is obligated to or
elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to
make repairs or restoration only of those portions of said Complex and said
Premises which were originally provided at Landlord's expense; and the repair
and restoration of items not provided at Landlord's expense shall be the
obligation of Tenant.

          (F)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty
covered under this Paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
term of this Lease or any extension thereof and the Lease shall terminate as of
the date of such damage if Tenant so elects within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence of such damage.

          (G)  The provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933,
Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are hereby waived by
Tenant.

    19.   EMINENT DOMAIN.  In case the whole of the Premises, or such part
          --------------                                                 
thereof as shall substantially interfere with the Tenant's use and occupancy
thereof, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful
power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or
eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, the Tenant or the Landlord, may,
at its option, terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is
required to be surrendered to said authority.  Tenant shall not, because of such
taking, assert any claim against the Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive
the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or any interest
of Tenant.  In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken
shall not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business,
Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction
for any estate or interest of Tenant, and Landlord at its option may terminate
this Lease. If Landlord does not so elect, Landlord shall promptly proceed to
restore the Premises to substantially their same condition prior to such partial
taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent
corresponding to the time during which said restoration is being made and to the
part of the Premises of which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such
taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be deemed to
give Landlord any interest in any specific award made to Tenant for the taking
of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or the loss of Tenant's
goodwill or relocation expenses.

    20.   DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
          ---------------------

          (A)  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:

               (i)   The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.  Abandonment is
          herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by
          Tenant from the Premises for five (5) days or longer while in default
          of any provision of this Lease.

               (ii)  The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or
          additional rent required to be made by Tenant hereunder, within five
          (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.

               (iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
          express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be
          observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in (i) or
          (ii) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10)
          days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided
          however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition
          to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
          Section 1161; provided, further, that if the nature of Tenant's
          default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required
          for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if
          Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and
          thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion.

               (iv)  (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the
          benefit of creditors; (2) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to
          take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
          Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is
          not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (3) the attachment,
          execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's
          assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease
          where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

          (B)  In the event of such default by Tenant, in addition to any other
remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the
immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder.  In
the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may
recover from Tenant:

               (i)   The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has
          been earned at the time of such termination; plus

               (ii)  The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
          unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the
          time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves
          could have been reasonably avoided; plus

               (iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
          unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
          exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been
          reasonably avoided; plus

               (iv)  Any other amount necessary to compensate the Landlord for
          all the detriment approximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform
          its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of
          things would be likely to result therefrom.

          As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by allowing interest at the prevailing discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus five percent
(5%), but not more than the maximum rate permissible by law.  As used in
subparagraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

          (C)  In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also
have the right, to the extent permitted by law with or without terminating this
Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the
Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this subparagraph shall be
construed as a election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

    21.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  Tenant shall not voluntarily or by
          -------------------------                                    
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any
part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises and shall not sublet
all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any attempted assignment,
transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall, at the
option of Landlord, constitute grounds for termination of this Lease.

     No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall
relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of rent by
Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of
any provision of this Lease or to be a consent of any assignment or subletting.

     Each subletting or assignment to which Landlord has consented shall be by
an instrument in writing in form satisfactory to Landlord and shall be executed
by the sublessor or assignor and by the sublessee or assignee in each instance,
as the case may be, and each sublessee or assignee shall agree in writing for
the benefit of the Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by and to perform the
terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by
the Tenant. One executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to
the Landlord. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable
attorneys fees and such other reasonable charges which Landlord incurs or causes
to be incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such
requested subletting or assignment of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to
the Premises in an amount not to exceed $500.00.

    22.   SUBORDINATION.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all
          -------------                                                    
times to all ground and underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be
executed affecting the Complex or the land upon which the Complex is situated or
both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deed of trust in any amount or amounts
whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the land and Complex or either
thereof, or on Landlord's interest or Estate therein, or portion thereof, or on
or against any ground or underlying lease without the necessity of the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to
effectuate such subordination; provided, however, that so long as Tenant is not
in default, the terms of the Lease shall not be affected by termination
proceedings in respect to such ground or underlying lease or foreclosure or
other proceedings under such mortgages or deeds of trust. Tenant hereby agreeing
at the written request of the Landlord under such ground or underlying lease or
the purchaser of the Complex in such foreclosure or other proceedings, to attorn
to such Landlord or to such purchase or, at such Landlord's or such purchaser's
option, to enter into a new lease for the balance of the term hereof upon the
same terms and provisions as are continued in this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant will execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument
or instruments evidencing such subordination of the Lease to the lien of any
such mortgage or mortgages or deed of trust as may be required by Landlord.

    23.   ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.  Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time
          --------------------                                                 
upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from Landlord, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating
the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified,
is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges
are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledge that there is not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any incurred defaults on the part of the Landlord hereunder, or
specifying such defaults, if any, that are claimed.  Any such statement may be
relied upon by a prospective purchase or encumbrance of all or any portion of
the real property of which the Premises are a part.

     Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rental has been paid in advance.

    24.   CONFLICT OF LAWS.  This Lease shall be governed by and construed
          ----------------                                               
pursuant to the laws of the State of California.

    25. COMMON AREAS.  Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, in common
        ------------                                                      
with others, to the use of common entrances, lobbies, elevators, ramps, drives,
stairs and similar access and service ways and common areas in and adjacent to
the Complex of which the Premises are a part subject to such nondiscriminatory
rules and regulations as may be adopted by Landlord.

    26.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Lease shall be binding upon and shall
          ----------------------                                            
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns.

    27.   SURRENDER OF PREMISES.  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, operate as an assignment to it of any or all
subleases of subtenancies.

    28.   ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event that either party should bring suit or
