Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
2. Sublease.
--------
2.1 Incorporation of Lease Terms. Verity hereby subleases to
----------------------------
Teleworld and Teleworld hereby subleases from Verity, the Premises. Except as
otherwise expressly herein provided, such sublease of the Premises shall be on
all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions in the Lease, which
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions are incorporated in and made a part
hereof as if fully set forth herein, and are imposed upon the respective parties
of this Sublease, with Verity hereunder being substituted for Landlord under the
Lease, and Teleworld hereunder being substituted for Tenant under the Lease;
provided that the following provisions of the Lease are not incorporated into
this Sublease: Section 2.1 (first sentence only), Section 2.2, Section 2.3,
Section 3.1, Section 5.4, Section 7.3, Article 8, First Addendum to Lease dated
January 22, 1996, Second Addendum to Lease dated January 22, 1996, First
Amendment to Lease dated June 20, 1996, Second Amendment to Lease dated November
5, 1996, and Third Amendment to Lease dated January 17, 1997. Teleworld shall

1.
<PAGE>
extent the provisions of this Sublease are inconsistent with or different from
the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Sublease shall control the
rights and obligations of Verity and Teleworld with respect to the use and
occupancy of the Premises and the Common Area.
2.2 Limitations to Responsibility. Notwithstanding the incorporation
-----------------------------
of the provisions of the Lease into this Sublease, Verity shall not be held
accountable for any representations and warranties made by RDI as Landlord under
the Lease, nor shall be Verity be responsible for the performance of any
obligations to be performed by Landlord under the Lease, and Teleworld agrees to
look solely to RDI for the performance of such obligations. At Teleworld's
request (and at Teleworld's cost, which shall be paid in advance), Verity shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause RDI to perform its obligations
under the Lease, but in no event shall Verity be obligated to initiate or
participate in any legal proceedings or actions intended to compel RDI to
perform or undertake any other action with respect to RDI that may impair
Verity's relations with RDI. The failure by RDI to perform its obligations under
the Lease shall not excuse performance by Verity or Teleworld of their
obligations hereunder.
3. Term. Subject to Paragraph 3.1 below, the term of this Sublease shall
----
be eighteen (18) months, commencing March 15, 1998. Sublessee shall be permitted
early occupancy to install its phone systems and wiring, subject to all the
provisions of this Sublease except the obligation to pay Rent (as defined in
Paragraph 5.1 below), which shall begin on the Commencement Date (as defined in
Paragraph 3.1 below).
3.1 Initial Term. The initial term of the Sublease contemplated
------------
hereby (the "Term") shall commence on the later of: (a) the date which is two
(2) days following receipt by Verity of RDI's written consent to this Sublease,
or (b) March 15, 1998 (the "Commencement Date"). The Term shall expire on
September 30, 1999 (the "Scheduled Expiration Date"), subject to extension in
accordance with and subject to Paragraph 3.2 below.
3.2 Extension Period. Should Teleworld desire to extend the term of
----------------
this Sublease by up to six (6) additional months, Teleworld shall notify Verity
of such desire not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date. Following Verity's receipt of such notice, Verity
shall decide in its sole and absolute discretion whether and on what terms
Verity would make the Premises available to Teleworld following the Scheduled
Expiration Date, provided, however, that the monthly Rent payable during the
first six (6) months following the Scheduled Expiration Date shall not exceed
Seventy Two Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Four Dollars and Ten Cents ($72,564.10).
If Verity decides to make the Premises available to Teleworld following the
Scheduled Expiration Date, Verity shall, not less than ninety (90) days prior to
the Scheduled Expiration Date, give notice thereof to Teleworld, including the
terms on which Verity would be willing to make the Premises available. If Verity
does not give such notice to Teleworld (or does not otherwise respond to
Teleworld regarding the availability of the Premises after the Scheduled
Expiration Date) at least ninety (90) days prior to the Scheduled Expiration
Date, Verity shall be deemed to have decided not to make the Premises available
to Teleworld after the Scheduled Expiration Date and this Sublease shall expire
on the Scheduled Expiration Date. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to
obligate Verity to make the Premises available to Teleworld following the
Scheduled Expiration Date on any terms. If Verity decides to make the Premises
available to Teleworld after the Scheduled Expiration Date and Verity and
Teleworld thereafter are able to agree upon the terms and
2.
<PAGE>
conditions of this Sublease with respect to the time period following the
Scheduled Expiration Date (such period is referred to herein as the "Extension
Period"), then such agreed upon terms and conditions shall be in effect during
the Extension Period. If Verity and Teleworld are unable to agree upon such
terms and conditions of this Sublease prior to the commencement of the Extension
Period, this Sublease shall terminate on the Scheduled Expiration Date.
4. Use. Teleworld shall use the Premises in accordance with the terms set
---
forth in Article 4 of the Lease. The Premises shall not be used for
manufacturing processes of any kind.

------------
("Rent") for the Premises for each month of the term of this Sublease, the sum
of: (a) Seventy Thousand One Hundred Four Dollars and Thirty Cents ($70,104.30)
for the first twelve (12) months of the Term, and (b) Seventy One Thousand Three
Hundred Thirty Four Dollars and Twenty Cents ($71,343.20) for the balance of the
Term up to the Scheduled Expiration Date. The foregoing amount represents the
monthly base rent plus an additional sum to cover Teleworld's share of the

($2.85) per square foot per month for the first twelve (12) months of the Term,
and Two and 90/100 Dollars ($2.90) per square foot per month for the balance of
the Term up to the Scheduled Expiration Date. Teleworld and Verity acknowledge
and agree that such Rent includes payment for use of the items set forth on

month. The first month's Rent shall be due on the Commencement Date, provided
that such amount shall be prorated to reflect the partial month, based on the
number of days from and including the Commencement Date to and including March
31, 1998. Teleworld shall have no additional obligation to pay for utilities,
heating, ventilation, or air conditioning repairs and maintenance, insurance,
property taxes, or repairs that are the responsibility of Verity under Paragraph
7.3(e) below, or common area maintenance, including janitorial expenses and
Common Operating Expenses, except as expressly provided herein.
5.2 Place of Payment of Rent. The Rent and all other amounts payable
------------------------

on the Effective Date as a security deposit with respect to Teleworld's
obligations to maintain and return in good condition the office cubicles,
furniture and network and data wiring which Teleworld is permitted to use under
this Sublease. Teleworld acknowledges and agrees that Verity shall be entitled
to withhold from such security deposit amounts to perform necessary repair or
replacement of any of the items listed on Exhibit A at the expiration of the
Term of this Sublease.

<PAGE>
5.4 Discounted Payment. Notwithstanding the amount of monthly Rent
------------------
set forth in Paragraph 5.1 above, Teleworld shall have the option to pay all
Rent due under this Sublease in a single payment upon the Commencement Date,
which single payment shall be equal to all amounts of Rent to be paid by
Teleworld under this Sublease, discounted to its present value as of the
Commencement Date utilizing a discount rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
6. Acceptance and Condition of Premises. Verity shall deliver the
------------------------------------
Premises to Teleworld on the Commencement Date in broom-clean condition.
Teleworld acknowledges that it had the right to inspect the Premises and the
items listed on Exhibit A prior to commencing occupancy. By executing this
Sublease, Teleworld shall be deemed to have accepted the same in their "AS-IS"
condition, subject to any circumstances, defects, or conditions therein, and
without any representations or warranties from Verity.
7. Related Provisions.
------------------
7.1 Insurance. With respect to the tenant's insurance to be provided
---------
by Teleworld as described in Paragraph 9.1 of the Lease, such policies of
insurance shall include as named insureds RDI, Verity and Teleworld.
7.2 Waiver of Subrogation. With respect to the waiver of subrogation
---------------------
contained in Paragraph 9.4 of the Lease, such waiver shall be deemed to be
modified to constitute an agreement by and among RDI, Verity, and Teleworld (and
RDI's consent to this Sublease, if given, shall be deemed to constitute its
approval of this modification).
7.3 Building Services and Repairs and Maintenance.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Teleworld shall be entitled to use of common areas in or
relating to the Master Premises.
(b) Teleworld shall be responsible for keying its locks and
otherwise providing its own security for the Premises. Teleworld shall deliver
two copies of each new key to Verity.
(c) Verity shall make available to Teleworld the janitorial
service serving the balance of the Master Premises, at no additional charge to
Teleworld. Such service shall include removal of Teleworld's waste,
notwithstanding the provisions of the second to last sentence of Section 7.1 of
the Lease to the contrary, provided that such waste is of the type and quantity
generated by typical office use. Verity reserves the right to charge Teleworld
reasonable amounts for removal of wastes if extraordinary types or quantities of
waste are generated by Teleworld.
(d) Teleworld shall be responsible for installation and service
for telephone and data transmission lines; provided Teleworld may use the

repair and maintenance as set forth in Paragraph 6.1 of the Lease with respect
only to the Premises, but shall not be responsible for repair and maintenance of
HVAC equipment, utility facilities or other such building systems and equipment
that serve the Master Premises as a whole. Teleworld, at its cost, shall
maintain in good condition all items of office cubicles, furniture and network
and data wiring set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Such items shall be
returned by Teleworld to Verity upon the expiration of the Term in the condition
in which they were delivered to Teleworld.
(f) If Verity determines in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion that Teleworld is utilizing a disproportionate share of utilities,
heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning or that Teleworld is regularly
using such utilities and services beyond the base business hours of 8:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, Verity reserves the right to charge Teleworld
for any such disproportionate or excess usage (and Teleworld shall pay to Verity
within thirty (30) days of Verity's request) at the rate of Ten Cents ($.10) per
rentable foot of the Premises per month; provided that this excess charge shall
apply only for so long as the electrical service capacity of the Premises
remains at the level that exists as of the date of this Sublease, and if
Teleworld increases or otherwise changes such capacity, then Landlord reserves
the right to charge Teleworld the actual charges incurred by Verity for
Teleworld's disproportionate or excess usage, as evidenced by Verity's
calculation thereof.
8. Signage. Teleworld shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense,
-------
to place a sign on the suite door and the monument sign outside the Building,
and to place standard identification on the lobby directory, provided any such
signs shall be consistent in size and character with existing signage of other
subtenants of Verity and Teleworld obtains the prior written consent of RDI and
Verity (which consent Verity shall not unreasonably withhold) prior to
installing such sign. Upon termination of this Sublease, Teleworld shall remove
the sign and repair any damage caused by the installation or removal of the
sign.
9. Assignment and Subletting. Teleworld shall have no right to assign
-------------------------
this Sublease or any of its rights hereunder or sublet all or any portion of the
Premises, without the prior written consent of Verity (which Verity may grant or
withhold in its sole discretion), and without the consent of RDI to the extent
required under the Lease.
10. Right of Offer. In the event Verity determines to further sublease
--------------
suites 202, 203 or 204 of the Master Premises during the Term of this Sublease,
Verity shall advise Teleworld of the terms and conditions on which Verity is
willing to sublease such space. Within five (5) days of receipt of such
information, Teleworld shall advise Verity in writing whether Teleworld desires
to sublease such space on the terms and conditions delivered to Teleworld by
Verity. In the event Teleworld elects to sublease, such space shall be added to
this Sublease by execution of an appropriate addendum as soon as practical. In
the event Teleworld fails to notify Verity in writing of its acceptance of the
proposed terms and conditions within such five (5) days, then Verity shall be
free to sublease such space to third parties on terms and conditions acceptable
to Verity, in its sole discretion, which terms and conditions may be different
from those previously communicated to Teleworld. The right of offer granted to
Teleworld in this Paragraph 10 shall be subject to any prior rights of first
offer, rights of first refusal or similar rights granted by Verity to any other
subtenant of the Master Premises as of the Effective Date.

mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or
similar overnight courier and addressed to Verity at the address specified in
Paragraph 5.2 of this Sublease, or to Teleworld at the Premises. Either party

("C&C") under a separate agreement between C&C and Verity. Except for the
foregoing, each party warrants and represents to the other that it has retained
no broker or other party that is entitled to any fee or commission in connection
with this Sublease, and each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party from any and all liabilities, claims or damages arising out of such
party's breach of the foregoing warranty and representation.
13. Termination of Lease. This Sublease is and shall at all times be
--------------------
subordinate to the Lease. In the event the Lease is terminated for any reason,
then this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the date of such
termination, and shall be of no further force and effect. If Verity has actual
advance knowledge of any termination, Verity shall promptly advise Teleworld
thereof. If the termination of the Lease (and resulting termination of this
Sublease) occurs through no fault of Verity, Verity shall have no liability
therefor to Teleworld.
14. Surrender of the Premises. Upon expiration or termination of this
-------------------------
Sublease, Teleworld shall comply with Paragraph 15.2 of the Lease except that
Teleworld shall have no obligation to (i) have the HVAC system serviced, (ii)
wax the floors, (iii) shampoo the carpets, and/or (iv) paint the walls of the
Premises (or clean the walls so that they appear freshly painted); except that
Teleworld shall be obligated to paint the walls of the Premises (or clean the
walls so that they appear freshly painted) if as a result of holes, other
damage, and/or marring of the walls such painting or cleaning is appropriate to
put the Premises in reasonable condition for use and occupancy for the purposes
permitted by Article 4 of the Lease. Upon expiration or termination of the Term
of this Sublease, Verity and Teleworld shall inspect the Premises and the items
listed on Exhibit A to determine whether any repairs or replacements are
necessary. Verity shall have no obligation to return the security deposits made
by Teleworld under this Sublease until completion of such inspection and

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

Furthermore, this Sublease shall not be operative or deemed effective for any
purpose whatsoever unless and until the consent of RDI to this Sublease has been

remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay any rent due under
this Lease in a timely fashion, including any right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to (S) 13.2B. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of

contract for the washing of all windows (both interior and exterior surfaces) in
the Premises with a contractor approved by landlord, which contract provides for
the periodic washing of all such windows at least once every 60 days during the

provide that they may not be cancelled or changed without at least 30 days'
prior written notice to landlord.
(d) All repairs and replacements required of tenant shall be promptly

Landlord shall not be responsible for repairs required by an accident, fire or
other peril or for damage caused to any part of the Project by any act or
omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents except as otherwise required by Article 11

6.3 Control of Common Area: landlord shall at all times have exclusive
control of the Common area. Landlord shall have the right, without the same

Landlord shall make a reasonable effort to minimize any disruption to Tenant's
business, and (ii) Landlord shall not exercise its rights to control the Common
Area in a manner that would materially interfere with Tenant's use of the
Premises

without first obtaining Tenant's consent. Landlord shall have no obligation to
provide guard services or other security measures for the benefit of the
Project. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant and

treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or
about the Project by Tenant or Tenant's Agents after the Effective Date.
(b) If the presence of Hazardous materials on the project caused or
permitted by Tenant or Tenant's Agents after the Effective Date results in
contamination or deterioration of water or soil resulting in a level of
contamination greater than the levels established as acceptable by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction over such contamination, then Tenant
shall promptly take any and all action necessary to investigate and remediate
such contamination if required by Law or as a condition to the issuance or
continuing effectiveness of any governmental approval which relates to the use
of the Project or any part thereof. Tenant shall further be solely responsible
for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold landlord and its agents harmless from
and against, all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys' fees and

Agents.
(c) Landlord and Tenant shall each give written notice to the other
as soon as reasonably practicable of (i) any communication received from any
governmental authority concerning Hazardous Materials which relates to the
Project, and (ii) any contamination of the

operation of Tenant's business of which Landlord receives notice prior to such
Hazardous Materials being brought onto the Premises and which Landlord consents
in writing may be brought onto the Premises. At any time during the lease Term,
Tenant shall, within five business days after written request therefor received
from landlord, disclose in writing all hazardous materials that are being used
by Tenant on the Project, the nature of such use, and the manner of storage and
disposal.
(d) Landlord may cause testing wells to be installed on the Project,
and may cause the ground water to be tested to detect the presence of Hazardous
Materials by the use of such tests as are then customarily used for such
purposes. If Tenant so requests, Landlord shall supply Tenant with copies of
such test results. The cost of such tests and of the installation, maintenance,
repair and replacement of such wells shall be paid by Tenant if such tests
disclose the existence of facts which give rise to liability of Tenant pursuant
to its indemnity given in (P) 7.2A and/or (P) 7.2B; otherwise, such costs shall
be paid entirely by Landlord.
(e) As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material," means any
hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by
any local governmental authority, the State of California or the United States
Government. The term "Hazardous Material," includes, without limitation,
petroleum products, asbestos, PCB's, and any material or substance which is (i)
listed under Article 9 or defined as hazardous or extremely Hazardous pursuant
to Article 11, of Title 22 of the California Administrative Code, Division 4,
Chapter 20, (ii) defined as a "hazardous waste" pursuant to Section 1004 of the

Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental response; Compensation and
Liability Act, 41 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (42 U.S.C. 9601). As used herein, the term
"Hazardous Material Law" shall mean any statute, law, ordinance, or regulation
of any governmental body or agency (including the U.S. environmental Protection
Agency, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California
Department of Health Services) which regulates the use, storage, release or

(f) The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this (P)7.2 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The rights and
obligations of landlord and Tenant with respect to issues relating to Hazardous

inconsistency between any other part of this lease and this (P)7.2, the terms of
this (P)7.2 shall control.
7.3 Utilities: Tenant shall promptly pay, as the same become due, all

(excluding any connection fees or hook-up fees which relate to making the
existing electrical, gas, and water service available to the Premises as of the

If any utility service is not separately metered to the premises, then Tenant
shall pay its pro rata share of the cost of such utility service
15.
<PAGE>
with all others served by the service not separately metered. However, if
Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of
any utility service not separately metered, then Landlord at its election may
(i) periodically charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to landlord's
reasonable estimate of the cost of Tenant's excess use of such utility service,
or (ii) install a separate meter (at Tenant's expense) to measure the utility
service supplied to the Premises.

other, and their respective agents and employees, from any liability for injury
to any person or damage to property that is caused by or results from any risk
insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy carried by
either of the parties which contains a waiver of subrogation by the insurer and
is in force at the time of such injury or damage; subject to the following
limitations: (i) the foregoing provision shall not apply to the commercial
general liability insurance described by subparagraphs (P)9.1A and (P)9.2B; (ii)
such release shall apply to liability resulting from any risk insured against or
covered by self-insurance maintained or provided by Tenant to satisfy the
requirements of (P)9.1 to the extent permitted by this Lease; and (iii) Tenant
shall not be released from any such liability to the extent any damages
resulting from such injury or damage are not covered by the recovery obtained by
Landlord from such insurance, but only if the insurance in question permits such
partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of subrogation from the
insurer. This release shall be in effect only so long as the applicable
insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that this release shall not
affect the right of the insured to recover under such policy. Each party shall
use reasonable efforts to cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide
that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the
other party and its agents and employees in connection with any injury or damage
covered by such policy. However, if any insurance policy cannot be obtained
with such a waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver of subrogation is only
available at additional cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver is to be
obtained does not pay such additional cost, then the party obtaining such
insurance shall notify the other party of that tact and thereupon shall be
relieved of the obligation to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights from the
insurer with respect to the
20.
<PAGE>
particular insurance involved. This waiver shall also apply in any situation
where there is no "valid and collectible" insurance policy due to a failure of a
party in breach of this lease to maintain insurance required hereunder.

then actual replacement cost thereof; provided, however, that Landlord may not
terminate this Lease pursuant to this (P)11.2B if one or more tenants of the
Project agree in writing to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the
damage exceeds such amount and subsequently deposit such amount with Landlord
within 30 days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate
this lease;
(c) 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 times the Base Monthly Rent then due;
provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this
(P)11.2C if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has a then valid express written
option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises such option to extend the
Lease term within 15 days following the date of such damage; or
22.
<PAGE>
(d) 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.
(e) As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) the term "Insured Peril" shall mean a peril actually insured or required
hereunder to be 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 Project 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 2% of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such
peril shall be deemed an "Uninsured Peril".
11.3 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 11.2, then as soon as reasonably
practicable, 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 15 days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the
time needed to complete such restoration.
(a) 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 180 days after the date of
such damage; or
(b) The Premises are damaged by any peril within 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 30% of the Premises.
11.4 Abatement of Rent: In the event of damage to the Premises which does
not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and the
Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated during the period of restoration in
proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired by
such damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from
Landlord for loss of Tenant's business or property or for any inconvenience or
annoyance caused by such damage or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the
provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.

of condemnation), (I) all or any part of the Premises is so taken, (ii) more
than 10% of the Building Leasable Area is so taken, or (iii) more than 50% of

12.5 Division of Condemnation Award: Any award made as a result of any
condemnation of the Premises or the Common Area shall belong to and be paid to
Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and

so long as the award made to Landlord is not thereby reduced: (i) for the taking
of personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant; (ii) for the
interruption of Tenant's business or its moving costs; (iii) for loss of
Tenant's goodwill; or (iv) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not
terminated as a result of such taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant
regarding any condemnation shall be determined as provided in this

Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1265.130 and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter
enacted allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this
Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

13.2 Landlord's Remedies: If an Event of Tenant's Default occurs, Landlord
shall have the following remedies, in addition to al other rights and remedies
provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may
resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
(a) Landlord may keep this Lease in effect and enforce by an action
at law or in equity all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including
(i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by
appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required of Tenant or
perform Tenant's obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof
with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by
Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of
injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its
obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease,
in the event of a breach of an obligation by Tenant which results in a condition
which poses an imminent danger to safety of persons or damage to property, an
unsightly condition visible from the exterior of the Building, or a threat to
insurance coverage, then if Tenant does not cure such breach within 3 business
days after delivery to it of written notice from Landlord identifying the
breach, Landlord may cure the breach of Tenant and be reimbursed by Tenant for
the cost thereof with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum
is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.
(b) Landlord may enter the Premises and release them to third parties
for Tenant's account for any period, whether shorter or longer than the
remaining Lease Term. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all
reasonable costs Landlord incurs in releasing the P remises, including brokers'
commissions, expenses of altering and preparing the Premises required by the
releasing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other sums due under this
Lese on the date the rent is due, less the rent and other sums Landlord received
from any releasing. No act by Landlord allowed by this subparagraph shall
terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding any releasing without
termination, Landlord may later elect to terminate this Lease because of the
default by Tenant.
(c) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice
of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth
for termination in such notice. Any termination under this Paragraph 13(c) shall
not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord or from any
claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing. In
no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the
absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a
termination of this Lease: (i) appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to
protect Landlord's interest hereunder; (ii) consent to any subletting of the
Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the
provisions hereof or otherwise; or (iii) any other action by Landlord or
Landlord's Agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this
Lease by Tenant, including without limitation any action taken to maintain and
preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the Premises or any portions
thereof to the extent such actions do not affect a termination of Tenant's right
to possession of the Premises.
(d) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the
Premises, this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written
notice of its election to so
26.
<PAGE>
terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of Landlord intended to mitigate
the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by Paragraph 13(c),
shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of termination. Should Landlord not terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant written notice, Landlord may enforce all its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due under the Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
(e) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled, at Landlord's election, to damages in an amount as set forth in
California Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective Date. For
purposes of computing damages pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2,
(i) an interest rate equal to the Agreed Interest Rate shall be used where
permitted, and (ii) the term "rent" includes Base Monthly Rent and Additional
Rent. Such damages shall include:
(1) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided,
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%); and
(2) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including the following: (i) expenses for cleaning,
repairing or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or
otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including
installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a
reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise);
(iii) broker's fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the
Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance
premiums, utilities and security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking
possession of the Premises; and (vi) attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by
Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises and in releasing the Premises or
otherwise incurred as a result of Tenant's default.
(f) Nothing in this Paragraph 13.2 shall limit Landlord's right to
indemnification from Tenant as provide din Paragraphs 7.2 and 10.3. Any notice
given by Landlord in order to satisfy the requirements of Paragraphs 13.1(a) or
13.1(b) above shall also satisfy the notice requirements of California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer proceedings.
13.3 Waiver. One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other
party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent
or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or
remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this
Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such
breach theretofore or thereafter
27.
<PAGE>
occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this
Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or
of any other provisions herein contained.
13.4 Limitation on Exercise of Rights. At any time that an Event of
Tenant's Default has occurred and remains uncured, (i) it shall not be
unreasonable for Landlord to deny or withhold any consent or approval requested
of it by Tenant which Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give, and (ii)
Tenant may not exercise any option to extend, right to terminate this Lease, or
other right granted to it by this Lease which would otherwise be available to
it.
13.5 Waiver by Tenant of Certain Remedies. Tenant waives the provisions of
Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or
successor law regarding Tenant's right to terminate this Lease or to make
repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs form the rent due under this
Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture
under the laws of the State of California, or under any other present or future
law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure. Nothing herein, however shall be construed so as to
preclude Tenant from making repairs if Landlord fails to do so and thereafter
bringing suit for reimbursement.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfer By Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any
assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee
or other successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to
in this Paragraph 14.1 as "Tenant"):
(a) Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred
to herein as a "Transfer"), whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation
of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises
or allow it to be sublet, occupied or used by any person or entity other than
Tenant; (ii) assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) mortgage or encumber the
Lease (or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner; or (iv)
materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that has
been previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all
reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord up to $1,000.00 in
connection with the evaluation, possessing, and/or documentation of any
requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord's consent is granted. Landlord's
reasonable costs shall include the cost of any review or investigation performed
by Landlord or consultant acting on Landlord's behalf of (i) Hazardous Materials
(as defined in Section 7.2(e) of this Lease) used, stored, released, or disposed
of by the potential Subtenant or Assignee, and/or (ii) violations of Hazardous
Materials Law (as defined in Section 7.2(e) of this Lease) by the Tenant or the
proposed Subtenant or Assignee. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord's
consent shall constitute an Event of Tenant's Default 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 Paragraph 14.1 as to any subsequent Transfer or
a consent to any subsequent Transfer. No Transfer or a consent to any subsequent
Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant
of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the
other obligations
28.
<PAGE>
to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this
Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.
(b) At least 15 days before a proposed Transfer is to become
effective, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed terms of
such Transfer and request Landlord's approval, which notice shall include the
following: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (ii) a
current financial statement of the transferee, financial statements of the
transferee, financial statements of the transferee covering the preceding three
years if the same exist, and (if available) an audited financial statement of
the transferee for a period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed
effective date of the Transfer, all of which statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) the nature of
the proposed transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) all
consideration to be given on account of the Transfer; (v) a current financial
statement of Tenant; and (vi) an accurately filled out response to Landlord's
standard Hazardous Materials Questionnaire. Tenant shall provide to Landlord
such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord within seven
days after Landlord's receipt of such notice from Tenant. Landlord shall respond
in writing to Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer within the
later of (i) 15 days of receipt of such request together with the required
accompanying documentation, or (ii) seven days after Landlord's receipt of all
information which Landlord reasonably requests within seven days after it
receives Tenant's first notice regarding the Transfer in question. If Landlord
fails to respond in writing within said period, Landlord will be deemed to have
withheld consent to such Transfer. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of
any material modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer.
(c) In the event that Tenant seeks to make any Transfer of the entire
Premises (excluding permitted transfers), Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease, either (i) on the condition that the proposed transferee
immediately enter into a direct lease of the Premises with Landlord on the same
terms and conditions contained in Tenant's notice, or (ii) so that Landlord is
thereafter free to lease the Premises to whomever it pleases on whatever terms
are acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this
Lease, then (i) if such termination is conditioned upon the execution of a lease
between Landlord and the proposed transferee, Tenant's obligations under this
Lease shall not be terminated until such transferee executes a new lease with
Landlord specifying a Commencement Date and commences the payment of rent, and
(ii) if Landlord elects simply to terminate this Lease (or, in the case of a
partial sublease, terminate this Lease as to the portion to be so sublet), the
Lease shall so terminate in its entirety fifteen (15) days after Landlord has
notified Tenant in writing of such election. Upon such termination, Tenant shall
be released from any further obligation under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant
shall execute a cancellation and release with respect to the Lease to effect
such termination.
(d) If Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant, Tenant may
enter into such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall apply:
(1) Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the
performance of all of its obligations under the Lease.
29.
<PAGE>
(2) If Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of all Subrent (as defined in Paragraph
14.1(d)(5)) 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.
(3) If Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with
respect to the space so subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the
positive difference, if any, between (i) all Subrent paid by the subtenant to
Tenant, less (ii) the sum of all Base Monthly 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.
(4) Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 14.1(d) shall
survive any Transfer, and Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder
shall be an Event of Tenant's Default. At the time Tenant makes any payment to
Landlord required by this Paragraph 14.1(d), Tenant shall deliver an itemized
statement of the method by which the amount to which Landlord is entitled was
calculated, certified by Tenant as true and correct. Landlord shall have the
right at reaosnable intervals to inspect Tenant's books and records relating to
the payments due hereunder. Upon request therefor, 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.
(5) As used in this Paragraph 14.1(d), the term "Subrent"
shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Tenant
as a result of the Transfer, if such sums are related to Tenant's interest in
this Lease or in the Premises, including payments form 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 Paragraph 14.1(d), the term "Permitted
Transfer Costs" shall mean (i) all reaosnable 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) tenant improvements.
(e) If Tenant is a corporation, the following shall be deemed a
voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease: (i) any dissolution,
merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of or affecting Tenant, whether
or not Tenant is the surviving corporation; and (ii) if the capital stock of
Tenant is not publicly traded, the sale or transfer to one person or entity (or
to any group of related persons or entities) stock possessing more than 50% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued,
outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. 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 owning 25% or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital
or
30.
<PAGE>
profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be
deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 14.1, so long as
Tenant otherwise complies with the provision of Paragraph 14.1 Tenant may enter
into any of the following transfers (a "Permitted Transfer") without Landlord's
prior written consent, and Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate the Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 14.1(c) or to receive any part of any Subrent resulting
therefrom that would otherwise be due it pursuant to Paragraph 14.1(d):
(1) Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or
assign its interest in this Lease to any corporation which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant to this Lease
by means of an ownership interest of more than 50%;
(2) Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease to a
corporation which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization
in which Tenant is not the surviving corporation, so long as the surviving
corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or
greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction; and
(3) Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation which
purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant, so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of
such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant
immediately prior to such transaction.
14.2 Transfer By Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall
have the right to transfer their interest in this Lease and the Project at any
time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the
Landlord originally named herein (and, in the case of any subsequent transfer,
the transferror) from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically
relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for
the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue
after the date of such transfer except for the obligation to return the Security
Deposit to Tenant (unless the Security Deposit is transferred to the Landlord's
transferee). After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used
herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Premises.
ARTICLE 15

contamination by Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is not responsible
pursuant to (P)7.2A or (P)7.2B, and (iv) Landlord's negligence, willful

shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, (i) remove
any Tenant's Alterations which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to (P)5.2
and repair all damage caused by such removal, and (ii) return the Premises or
any part thereof to its original configuration existing as of the time the
Premises were delivered to Tenant unless Landlord has provided prior written
approval for any change made since the Commencement Date which Landlord does not
require to be returned to its original condition. Tenant shall have no
obligation to remove the Interior Improvements constructed pursuant to Exhibit
B. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in
returning the Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs
reasonably incurred at the Agreed Interest Rate. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so
surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any
succeeding tenant or losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to
succeeding tenants.
15.3 Holding Over: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at
the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holder over by Tenant after expiration of
the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or give
Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in the
Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the written consent of
Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same
terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base
Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 125% of the Base Monthly
Rent payable during the last full calendar month of the Lease Term.

15.4 Subordination: The following provisions shall govern the
relationship of the Lease to any Security Instrument:
(a) The Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security
Instruments existing as of the Effective Date. However, if any Lender so
requires, this Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security
Instrument.
(b) At Landlord's election, this Lease shall become subject and
subordinate to any Security Instrument created after the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default and performs
all of its obligations under this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms.
(c) Tenant shall upon request execute any document or instrument
reasonably required by any Lender to make this Lease either prior or subordinate
to a Security Instrument, which may include such other matters as the Lender
customarily and reasonably requires in connection with such agreements,
including provisions that the Lender not be liable for (i) the return of any
security deposit unless the Lender receives it from landlord, and (ii) any
defaults on the part of Landlord occurring prior to the time the Lender takes
possession of the Project in connection with the enforcement of its Security
Instrument. Tenant's failure to execute any such document or instrument within
15 days after written demand therefor shall constitute an Event of Tenant's
Default. Tenant approves as reasonable the form of subordination agreement
attached to this Lease as Exhibit G.
(d) Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-
Disturbance Agreement from holder(s) of all existing Security Instruments. If a
holder required payment of fees and/or costs as a condition of such an
Agreement, Tenant shall pay such fees and/or costs. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, Tenant's obligation to subordinate this Lease to any future
Security Instrument shall be conditioned upon the execution of a Non-Disturbance
Agreement by the holder of such Security Instrument on the holder's standard
form.
15.5 Mortgagee Protection and Attornment: In the event of any default on
the part of the Landlord, Tenant will use reasonable efforts to give notice by
registered mail to any Lender whose name has been provided to Tenant and shall
offer such Lender whose name has been provided to Tenant and shall offer such
Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain
possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other
appropriate legal proceedings, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure.
Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser of the Premises at any foreclosure sale or
private sale conducted pursuant to any Security Instrument encumbering the
Premises, or to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu
of foreclosure.
15.6 Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements: At all times during
the Lease Term, each party agrees, following any request by the other party,
promptly to execute and deliver to the requesting party within 15 days following
delivery of such request an estoppel certificate: (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, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other
charges are paid in advance, if

knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of any party hereunder or, if there
are uncured defaults, specifying the nature of such defaults, and (iv)
certifying such other information about the Lease as may be reasonably required
by the requesting party. A failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within 15
days after delivery of a request therefor shall be a conclusive admission that,
as of the date of the request for such statement: (i) this Lease is unmodified
except as may be represented by the requesting party in said request and is in
full force and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting
party's performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid more than 30 days in
advance. At any time during the Lease Term Tenant shall, upon 15 days' prior
written notice from Landlord, provide Tenant's most recent financial statement
and financial statements covering the 24 month period prior to the date of such
most recent financial statement to any existing Lender or to any potential
Lender or buyer of the Premises. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal
practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public
accountant.
15.7 Reasonable Consent: Whenever any party's approval or consent is
required by this Lease before an action may be taken by the other party, such
approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
15.8 Notices: Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this
Lease shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery, by facsimile
telecopy, by courier service, or by mail. A notice shall be deemed to have been
given (i) on the third business day after mailing if such notice was deposited
in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed
to the party to be served at its Address for Notices specified in Section O or
---------
Section R of the Summary (as applicable), (ii) when delivered if given by
---------
personal delivery, and (iii) in all other cases when actually received at the
party's Address for Notices. Either party may change its address by giving
notice of the same in accordance with this (P) 15.8, provided, however, that any
address to which notices may be sent must be a California address.
15.9 Attorneys' Fees: In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall bring
any action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this
Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease or otherwise to enforce, protect
or establish any term or covenant of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate
action brought for that purposes, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and
experts' fees as may be fixed by the court.
15.10 Corporate Authority: If Tenant is a corporation (or partnership),
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants
that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of such
corporation in accordance with the by-laws of such corporation (or partnership
in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership) and that this
Lease is binding upon such corporation (or partnership) in accordance with its
terms. Each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of a corporation does
hereby covenant and warrant that the party for whom it is executing this Lease
is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that it is qualified to do

including the Agents of such party. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a

perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a period
equal to the period of any said prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation
hereunder except the obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other sums due
hereunder.

between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or representations
between the parties except as expressed herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither
Landlord nor Landlord's Agents has made any legally binding representation or

and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter
of this Lease. This instrument shall not be legally binding until it is executed
by both Landlord and Tenant. No subsequent change or addition to this Lease
shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

FIRST ADDENDUM TO LEASE
This First Addendum is dated for reference purposes as January 22, 1996,
and is made a part of that Lease Agreement (the "Lease") dated January 22, 1996,
by and between Ross Drive Investors, a California general partnership
("Landlord") and Verity, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant") affecting
certain real property commonly known as 894 Ross Drive, Sunnyvale, California,
with reference to the following facts:
1. Option to Extend Lease Term: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one
option to extend the Lease Term for a five (5) year term on the following terms
and conditions:
A. Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing of its exercise of
the option in question no earlier than two hundred seventy (270) days and no
later than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date the Lease Term would
end but for said exercise.
B. Tenant may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to any option
granted by this paragraph if an Event of Tenant's Default exists as of the date
of exercise of the option in question or as of the date this Lease would have
been terminated but for said exercise.
C. All term and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the
Option Period, except that the Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period shall be
determined as provided in Paragraph D.
D. The Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period shall be the greater
of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Base Monthly Rent due the last month of
the previous Lease Term, or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the then fair
market monthly rent determined as of the commencement of the Option Period in
question based upon like buildings with like improvements in the Mountain
View/Sunnyvale/Santa Clara area taking into account tenant improvement
allowances and other concessions which may be available in the market.. If the
parties are unable to agree upon the fair market monthly rent for the Premises
for the Option Period in question at lean seventy-five (75) days prior to the
commencement of the Option Period in question, then the fair market monthly rent
shall be determined by appraisal conducted pursuant to subparagraph E.
E. In the event it becomes necessary to determine by appraisal the
fair market rent of the Premises for the purpose of establishing the Base
Monthly Rent during the Option Period, then such fair market monthly rent shall
be determined by three (3) real estate appraisers, all of whom shall be members
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than five (5)
years experience appraising real property (other than residential or
agricultural property) located in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance
with the following procedures:
(1) The party demanding an appraisal (the "Notifying Party")
notify the other party (the "Non-Notifying Party") thereof by delivering a
written demand for appraisal, which demand, to be effective, must give the name,
address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the Notifying Party.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of said demand, the Non-Notifying Party shall
select its appraiser and notify the Notifying Party, in writing, of the name,
1.
<PAGE>
address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by it. Failure by the Non-
Notifying Party to select a qualified appraiser within said ten (10) day period
shall be deemed a waiver of its right to select a second appraiser on its own
behalf and the Notifying Party shall select a second appraiser on behalf of the
Non-Notifying Party within five (5) days after the expiration of said ten (10)
day period. Within ten (10) days from the date the second appraiser shall have
been appointed, the two (2) appraisers so selected shall appoint a third
appraiser. If the two appraisers fad to select a third qualified appraiser, the
third appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association or if
it shall refuse to perform this function, then at the request of either Landlord
or Tenant, such third appraiser shall be promptly appointed by the then
Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County
of Santa Clara.
(2) The three (3) appraisers so selected shall meet not later
than twenty (20) days following the selection of the third appraiser. At said
meeting the appraisers so selected shall attempt to determine the fair market
monthly rent of the Premises for the option period in question (including the
timing and amount of periodic increases).
(3) If the appraisers so selected are unable to complete their
determinations in one meeting, they may continue to consult at such times as
they deem necessary for a fifteen (15) day period from the date of the first
meeting, in an attempt to have at least two (2) of them agree. If, at the
initial meeting or at any time during said fifteen (15) day period, two (2) or
more of the appraisers so selected agree on the fair market rent of the Leased
Premises, such agreement shall be determinative and binding on the parties
hereto, and the agreeing appraisers shall, in simple letter form executed by the
agreeing appraisers, forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set
by such agreement.
(4) If two (2) or more appraisers do not so agree within said
fifteen (15) day period, then each appraiser shall, within five (5) days after
the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, submit his independent appraisal
in simple letter form to Landlord and Tenant stating his determination of the
fair market rent of the Premises for the Option Period in question. The parties
shall then determine the fair market rent for the Premises by determining the
average of the fair market rent set by each of the appraisers. However, if the
lowest appraisal is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the middle appraisal
then such lowest appraisal Wall be disregarded and/or if the highest appraisal
is greater than one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the middle appraisal then
such highest appraisal shall be disregarded. If the fair market rent set by any
appraisal is so disregarded, then the average shall be determined by computing
the average set by the other appraisals that have not been disregarded.
(5) Nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord and Tenant
from jointly selecting a single appraiser to determine the fair market raw of
the Premises, in which event the determination of such appraisal shall be
conclusively deemed the fair market rent of the Premises.
(6) Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser
selected by or for it, and the few and expenses of the third appraiser (or the
joint appraiser if one joint appraiser is used) shall be home fifty percent
(50%) by Landlord and fifty percent (50%) by Tenant.

<PAGE>
2. Tenant Improvement Allowance: The term "Tenant Improvement Allowance"
shall mean the maximum amount Landlord is required to spend toward the payment
of Interior Improvement Costs for all Interior Improvements constructed in the
Premises, which amount is
3. Condition of Premises: Landlord shall provide the Premises with all
existing electrical, HVAC and plumbing in good and workable condition, and to
the extent that there are any warranties available, Landlord agrees to provide
Tenant with the benefits of those warranties. Except as specifically provided
in the Lease, in this Paragraph 3 and in Exhibit "B", the Interior Improvement
Agreement, Tenant accepts the Premises based upon its own investigation and
research, without warranty by Landlord, and in its "AS-IS" condition, provided
that Landlord shall cause each tenant currently occupying any portion of the
Premises to surrender same at the end of its respective lam term in the
condition required by its lease or applicable termination agreement.
4. Security Deposit:
5. Lease of Additional Space: Pursuant to this Lease, Tenant is leasing
all rentable space in the Budding with the exception of Suite 203, consisting of
5,070 rentable square feet of space, and Suite 205, consisting of 5,021 square
feet of space (referred to jointly as the "Expansion Space" and individually as
"Suite 203", and "Suite 205" or a ("Suite"). In addition to the space currently
defined herein as the "Premises", Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord, and
Landlord agrees to Lease to Tenant, the Expansion Space, on the following terms
and conditions:
A. The Lease Term for the Expansion Space shall begin for each Suite
(the "Expansion Space Commencement Date") on the day following the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease Term including any exercised option periods of
the tenant currently occupying the Suite and the tenant's removal of all of its
furnishings, fixtures and equipment and its (or Landlord's) satisfaction of the
surrender obligations under its Lease. Landlord shall bear all costs for
removing all such tenants from the Suites at the end of their respective Lean
Tam and Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that to the best of Landlords
knowledge (which shall mean Michael J. Biggar's knowledge) without investigation
or duty to investigate, no other persons or entities have any rights or claims
of occupancy to such Suites.
B. The Lease Term for each Suite shall run from the Expansion Space
Commencement Date to the end of the Lean Term of this Lease.
C. As of the Expansion Space Commencement Date for each Suite, the
Base Monthly Rent set forth herein shall be increased by applying the per
rentable square foot rental rate which is effective under the Summary, Paragraph
K, as of said date, to the additional rentable square footage added to the
Premises by the addition of the Suite(s). Thereafter, the dates for increases in
the Base Monthly Rent specified in this Lean shall continue in effect without
change, but the Base Monthly Rent following each such increase date shall
include an additional amount reflecting the added space. For purposes of
example, if both Suites became available at any time during the first 24 months
following the Commencement Date hereunder, the rent would be increased by
3.
<PAGE>
D. The Lease Term for each Suite shall be extended if Tenant
exercises the Option to Extend Lease Term granted in Paragraph 1 of this
Addendum. Rent in the extended term provided under such option to extend shall
be determined as set forth in Paragraph 1
E. Tenant will accept such Suite based solely on its own
investigation and research, without warranty by Landlord, in its then existing
"AS-IS" condition, with all faults, latent or patent. Landlord will not have any
duty to provide or pay for any tenant improvements to the Expansion Space
provided that Landlord shall cause each tenant currently occupying a Suite to
surrender same at the end of its respective lease term in the condition required
by its Lease.
