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



     THIS LEASE is made this 29th day of January 1999, by and between GREYLANDS

BUSINESS PARK, PHASE 2, a California general partnership ("Landlord"), and EBAY,

INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").





                                 W I T N E S S E T H :



     Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord those certain

premises outlined in red on Exhibit A (the "Premises"), which Premises are

commonly known as 2125 Hamilton Avenue ("Building 2125") and 2145 Hamilton

Avenue ("Building 2145"), San Jose, California, which Landlord and Tenant hereby

agree consists of approximately one hundred three thousand fifty-eight (103,058)

square feet with each building consisting of approximately 51,529 square feet.

As used herein the term "Project" shall mean and include all of the land

described in Exhibit B and all the buildings, improvements, fixtures and

equipment now or hereafter situated on said land.



     Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration of this lease, to

perform and observe each and all of the terms, covenants and conditions set

forth below, and this lease is made upon the condition of such performance and

observance.





     1.   USE.  Subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph 6, Tenant

          ---                                                               

shall use the Premises for general office and research and development and other

legal uses related to the operation of Tenant's business and consistent with

operation of the Project as a first-class office/research and development

project and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other

purpose.



     2.   TERM.

          ---- 



          (a) Commencement Expiration.  The term shall commence on the Lease

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

Commencement Date (defined below) and end on the Lease Expiration Date (defined

below) (unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided).  The "Lease

Commencement Date" shall be the earlier of (i) April 15, 1999, (ii) substantial

completion of the Building 2125 Tenant Improvements, or (iii) occupancy of

Building 2125 or any part thereof by Tenant and/or Tenant's employees for

purposes other than as permitted in paragraph 54 of this lease (regarding early

access).  The "Lease Expiration Date" shall be the date that is (i) five (5)

years after the Building 2145 Expansion Date or (ii) five (5) years after the

Lease Commencement Date if Tenant terminates this lease as to Building 2145 as

provided in paragraph 2(b) below.  For purposes of this lease, the "Building

2145 Expansion Date" shall be the date that is sixty (60) days after the date

that Landlord tenders access to Building 2145 in accordance with paragraph 54 of

this lease (regarding early access).



                                     1.

<PAGE>

 

          (b) Failure to Deliver Building 2145.  Notwithstanding the above, if

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

Landlord is unable to tender possession of Building 2145 to Tenant by September

2, 1999 plus the number of days of delay caused by Tenant, or by force majeure

(defined below), then Tenant as its sole remedy shall be entitled to a credit

against the monthly rent first coming due and payable under this lease in the

amount of $6,000.00 per day for each day of such delay in delivery of Building

2145 to Tenant beyond September 2, 1999 (as extended above, if applicable) and

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense resulting

from Landlord's failure to deliver possession.  Landlord shall not extend the

lease of Building 2145 to Symbol Technologies, Inc. ("Symbol") beyond September

1, 1999 and in the event of a holdover by Symbol beyond September 1, 1999,

Landlord shall diligently pursue its rights and remedies under the lease between

Landlord and Symbol (as permitted by law) to expedite recovery of possession of

Building 2145 by Landlord and delivery of possession thereof to Tenant as

provided herein.  For purposes of this lease, the term "force majeure" shall

mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure labor

or materials, fire, accident, riot, civil commotion, laws or regulations of

general applicability, acts of any tenant or other third party (other than

Symbol Technologies, Inc.), or any cause that is not due to Landlord's

negligence or willful misconduct or any cause that is beyond Landlord's

reasonable control.



          If Landlord's tender of Building 2145 is delayed beyond January 1,

2000, Tenant may terminate this lease with respect to Building 2145, by giving

written notice of termination to Landlord on or before January 5, 2000.  Upon

such termination neither party shall have any further obligation to the other

with respect to Building 2145 under this lease and Tenant shall not be entitled

to any rent credit provided for above, but this lease shall continue in full

force and effect as to Building 2125.



     3.   POSSESSION.  Tenant's inability or failure to take possession of

          ----------                                                      

Building 2125 when access is tendered by Landlord (including without limitation

Tenant's failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to early access specified

in paragraph 54 below) shall not delay the commencement of the term of this

lease or Tenant's obligation to pay rent.  Tenant's inability or failure to take

possession of Building 2145 when access is tendered by Landlord shall not delay

the Building 2145 Expansion Date.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall incur

significant expenses upon the execution of this lease, even if Tenant never

takes possession of the Premises, including without limitation brokerage

commissions and fees, and legal and other professional fees.  Tenant

acknowledges that all of said expenses shall be included in measuring Landlord's

damages should Tenant breach the terms of this lease.



     4.   MONTHLY RENT.

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

          (a) Basic Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as basic rent for the

              ----------                                                     

Premises, in advance and subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 5, the

sum of One Hundred Five Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Four and 45/100 Dollars

($105,634.45) on or before the first day of the first full calendar month of the



                                     2.

<PAGE>

 

term and on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month.

Basic rent for any partial month shall be payable in advance and shall be

prorated based on the actual number of days during the lease term occurring in

such month divided by the total number of days in such month.



          (b) Direct Expenses.  In addition to the above basic rent and as

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

additional rent, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to

Landlord, subject to adjustment and reconciliation as provided in paragraph 5(b)

of this lease, the sum of Twenty Thousand Six Hundred Eleven and 60/100 Dollars

($20,611.60) on or before the first day of the first full calendar month of the

term and on the first day of each and every successive calendar month, said sum

representing Tenant's estimated payment of its proportionate share of direct

expenses as provided for in paragraph 5(b) of this lease.  Payment for direct

expenses for any partial month shall be payable in advance and shall be prorated

based on the actual number of days during the lease term occurring in such month

divided by the total number of days in such month.



          (c) Manner and Place of Payment.  All payments of basic rent and

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

direct expenses shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, in

lawful money of the United States of America, at the office of Landlord at 3945

Freedom Circle, Suite 640, Santa Clara, California 95054, or to such other

person or place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.



          (d) Advance Rent Payments.

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



              (1)  First Month's Rent (Building 2125).   Concurrently with 

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

Tenant's execution of this lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum

of One Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Six and 05/100 Dollars

($126,246.05) to be applied against the basic rent and direct expenses for the

first lease month of the term.



              (2)  First Month's Rent (Building 2145).  Within five (5) days 

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

after the date that Landlord permits access by Tenant to Building 2145 as

provided in paragraph 54 of this lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the

sum of One Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Six and 05/100

Dollars ($126,246.05) to be applied against the basic rent and direct expenses

applicable to Building 2145 for the first lease month after the Building 2145

Expansion Date.



          (e) Security Deposit.  Concurrent with Tenant's execution of this

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

lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter

of credit ("Letter of Credit") in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars

($500,000) to secure the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms,

covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by Tenant.  The

Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank (the "L-C Bank") approved by Landlord

and shall be in a form that is reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  The L-C Bank

shall be a bank that accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local Santa

Clara County office that will negotiate a letter of credit, and the deposits of

which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Tenant shall

pay all expenses, points, or 



                                     3.

<PAGE>

 

fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit. The Letter of

Credit shall be available by draft at sight, subject only to receipt by the

bank of a notarized statement from Birk S. McCandless or Steven E. Sund or

other authorized representative of Landlord requesting such draw and

certifying that Landlord is entitled to make such draw in accordance with the

terms of this lease. The Letter of Credit shall by its terms expire no sooner

than September 1, 2000, provided that unless Tenant deposits with Landlord a

cash security deposit of like amount as permitted below, said Letter of Credit

shall be renewed by Tenant for successive periods of not less than one year

each to and including the date that is thirty (30) days after the Lease

Expiration Date of this lease. The bank's written renewal of the Letter of

Credit shall in each case be delivered to Landlord not less than forty-five

(45) days prior to the expiration date of the then outstanding Letter of

Credit. Tenant's failure to so deliver, renew (including specifically but not

limited to the delivery to Landlord of such renewal not less than forty-five

(45) days prior to expiration of the Letter of Credit) and maintain such

Letter of Credit, shall be a material breach of this lease unless Tenant

delivers to Landlord a cash security deposit of like amount. The amount of the

Letter of Credit shall be increased to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) on or

before September 1, 1999 unless the following criteria are satisfied as of

August 1, 1999:



          1.   Tenant's Market Cap has not been less than One Billion Four

               Hundred Million Dollars ($1,400,000,000) ($35/share) at any time

               during the previous three quarters.



          2.   Tenant has at least Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) of cash

               or cash equivalents (which shall be deemed to include high

               quality short-term investments).



If, on September 1, 2000 and on September 1 of each year thereafter, Tenant is

not in default and no event shall have occurred which with the passing of time

or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default, then upon each

annual renewal the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced for the

upcoming year by $100,000 (or $200,000 if the original Letter of Credit is

increased to $1,000,000 as provided above) each year upon renewal, but in no

event shall the Letter of Credit be reduced to an amount which is less than Two

Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Eight and 04/100 Dollars

($245,278.04).



          If Tenant defaults in the performance of any provision of this lease

to be performed by Tenant, including, without limitation, providing, renewing

and maintaining the Letter of Credit as required above, or payment of rent or

any other amounts due Landlord under this lease, Landlord may, without prejudice

to any other remedy available to Landlord, immediately and without further

notice draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit to be held by

Landlord as a cash security deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of

all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and

performed by Tenant.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this

lease, including, but not limited to, the default that precipitated the draw on

the Letter of Credit, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or

retain all or any part of this security deposit 



                                     4.

<PAGE>

 

for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend by reason of Tenant's

default or to compensate Landlord for any other reasonable expense, loss or

damage which Landlord may suffer by reason thereof. If any portion of said

deposit is so used as specified above, Tenant shall, within five (5) days

after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in the amount

sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and Tenant's

failure to do so shall be a material breach of this lease. Landlord shall not

be required to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds and

Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant is not in

default at the expiration or termination of this lease, the security deposit

or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within fifteen (15) days

after Tenant has vacated the Premises, subject to retention of a reasonable

amount to pay for any damages still to be determined by Landlord; provided

that the excess, if any, shall be returned to Tenant when such damages have

been finally ascertained. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest

in this lease, Landlord shall transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in

interest, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall thereupon be released from

liability for the return of such deposit or any accounting therefor.



          (f) Application of Payments.  All payments received by Landlord from

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

Tenant may be applied by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion to the oldest

payment obligation(s) owed by Tenant to Landlord or in such other order as

Landlord determines in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.  No designation

by Tenant, either in a separate writing or on a check or money order, shall

modify this clause or have any force or effect.  Notwithstanding the above,

Landlord's determination not to apply such payments to the oldest payment

obligations first as specified above shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord

with respect to Landlord's claims against Tenant for such prior payment

obligation(s) of Tenant or Landlord's right to apply future payments to such

prior payment obligation(s) of Tenant in such order as Landlord may determine in

Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.



     5.   ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC RENT AND DIRECT EXPENSES.

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

          (a) Adjustments in Basic Rent.  The basic rent provided for in

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

          Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord, as additional rent in

accordance with paragraph 4(b) of this lease, Tenant's proportionate share of

direct expenses for each calendar year (or portion thereof) during the term of

this lease.  Tenant's estimated share of the monthly direct expenses payable by

Tenant during the calendar year in which the term commences is set forth in

paragraph 4(b) of this lease.  A written estimate of Tenant's monthly share of

direct expenses for each succeeding calendar year shall be delivered to Tenant

prior to the commencement of each such succeeding calendar year (or as soon as

practicable thereafter).  Tenant shall pay to Landlord in accordance with

paragraph 4(b) of this lease its monthly share of direct expenses as reasonably

estimated by Landlord.  Landlord reserves the right to revise such written

estimate during a calendar year if Landlord's actual or projected direct

expenses shows an increase or decrease in excess of ten percent (10%) from that

of an earlier written estimate delivered to Tenant, and if Landlord elects to

revise the earlier estimate, Landlord shall deliver the revised estimate to

Tenant, together with an explanation of the reasons therefor, and Tenant shall

revise its payments accordingly.  Statements of the actual direct expenses for

the calendar year in which the term commences and for each succeeding calendar

year (herein called "statement of actual direct expenses") shall be delivered to

Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days following the expiration of each

such calendar year (or as soon as practicable thereafter).  If the statement of

actual direct expenses for any such calendar year shows that Tenant's

proportionate share of actual direct expenses for the year is in excess of the

aggregate amount Tenant has paid as direct expenses for that calendar year,

Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt

of the statement of actual direct expenses.  If Tenant fails to pay such excess

amount due within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall pay an additional

ten percent (10%) of the amount due as a penalty.  In the event that any

statement of actual direct expenses shall show that Tenant has paid Landlord an

aggregate amount in excess of the actual direct expenses for the preceding

calendar year and Tenant is not in default in the performance or observance of

any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this lease at the time such

statement of actual direct expenses is delivered, Landlord shall, at its option,

promptly either refund such excess to Tenant or credit the amount thereof to the

monthly direct expenses next becoming due from Tenant.  The respective

obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this paragraph shall survive the

expiration or other termination of this lease.  Upon written request of Tenant

made within sixty (60) days of Tenant's receipt of the statement of actual

direct expenses, Landlord shall provide to Tenant copies of documentation

reasonably available to Landlord to support the amounts set forth in such

statement.

                                     9.

<PAGE>

 

in or about the Premises or Project, anything which is prohibited by or will

in any way increase the existing rate of (or otherwise affect) fire or any

other insurance covering the Project or any part thereof, or any of its

contents, or will cause a cancellation of any insurance covering the Project

or any part thereof, or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit to

be done anything in or about the Premises or the Project which will constitute

waste or which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other

tenants or occupants of the Project or injure or annoy them, or use or allow

the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause,

maintain or permit any nuisance in or about the Premises or the Project. No

consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use the Premises for sleeping, washing

clothes, cooking (except for customary office use of microwave ovens) or in

     7.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  Tenant shall, in connection with its use and

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

occupation of the Premises, at its sole cost and expense, promptly observe and

comply with (i) all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,

regulations and requirements of federal, state, county, municipal and other

governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, which shall impose any

duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to the use, occupancy or alteration of

the Premises (subject to paragraph 8 below), (ii) with the requirements of any

board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted

and (iii) with any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by

any public authority; provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a

breach of these provisions if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences

to remedy or rectify said failure.  The judgment of any court of competent

jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant (whether or

not Landlord is a party thereto) that Tenant has violated any such law, statute,

ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision,

shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.  This lease

shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any loss of use or other

effect on Tenant's enjoyment of the 



                                     10.

<PAGE>

 

Premises by reason of any governmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules,

regulations and requirements now or hereafter in effect.



     8.   ALTERATIONS.  Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any

          -----------                                                 

alteration, addition or improvement to or of the Premises or any part thereof

(collectively referred to herein as "alterations") without (i) the prior written

consent of Landlord, (ii) a valid building permit issued by the appropriate

governmental authority and (iii) otherwise complying with all applicable laws,

regulations and requirements of governmental agencies having jurisdiction and

with the rules, regulations and requirements of any board of fire underwriters

or similar body.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make non-structural

alterations costing less than Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) per project and

costing, in the aggregate less than Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) in any one

lease year of the term without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided

that Tenant promptly informs Landlord in writing of the nature of the

alterations, the cost thereof and the contractor engaged or proposed to be

engaged to perform such work, and provided further that all such work complies

with clauses (ii) and (iii) above.  Landlord's consent to any requested

alteration shall not create on the part of Landlord or cause Landlord to incur

any responsibility or liability for such alteration's compliance with all laws,

rules, regulations of federal, state, county, municipal and other governmental

authorities.  Any alteration, and the initial Tenant Improvements (specified in

paragraph 59 herein), shall be deemed to belong to Tenant during the term of

this lease and Tenant shall have the right to finance such alterations and

initial Tenant Improvements.  Upon expiration or upon termination any alteration

made by Tenant (excluding moveable furniture and trade fixtures) shall become a

part of the Premises and belong to Landlord.  Without limiting the foregoing,

all heating, lighting, electrical (including all wiring, conduit, outlets,

drops, buss ducts, main and subpanels), air conditioning, partitioning, drapery,

window covering and carpet installations made by Tenant, regardless of how

attached to the Premises, together with all other alterations that have become

an integral part of the building in which the Premises are a part, shall be and

become part of the Premises and belong to Landlord upon installation and shall

not be deemed trade fixtures and, subject to Landlord's right to require removal

and restoration as specified herein, shall remain upon and be surrendered with

the Premises at the termination of the lease.



          If Landlord consents to the making of any alteration by Tenant, the

same shall be made by Tenant at its sole risk, cost and expense and only after

Landlord's written approval of any contractor or person selected by Tenant for

that purpose (not to be unreasonably withheld).  Tenant shall, if required by

Landlord, secure at Tenant's cost a completion and lien indemnity bond for such

work.  Unless expressly waived by Landlord in writing, upon the expiration or

sooner termination of the term, Landlord may, at its sole option, require

Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to promptly remove any such

alteration made by Tenant and designated by Landlord to be removed, repair any

damage to the Premises caused by such removal and restore the Premises to their

condition prior to Tenant's alteration.  Upon Tenant's written request at the

time that Landlord's consent is requested, Landlord shall notify Tenant if

Landlord will waive its right to require removal of the 



                                     11.

<PAGE>

 

alteration and restoration of the Premises as specified above. Any moveable

furniture and equipment or trade fixtures remaining on the Premises at the

expiration or other termination of the term shall become the property of the

Landlord; provided, however, in addition to all other remedies available to

Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may (i) require Tenant to remove same

or (ii) remove same at Tenant's cost, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord

for all damages incurred by Landlord related thereto.



          If during the term any alteration, addition or change of the Premises,

the Common Area or the Project is required by law, regulation, ordinance or

order of any public authority due to Tenant's particular use, occupancy or

alteration of the Premises, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly

make the same.  If during the term any alterations, additions or changes to the

Common Area or the Project is required by law, regulation, ordinance or order of

any public or quasi-public authority, and is not due to Tenant's particular use,

occupancy or alteration of the Premises, and, in Landlord's judgment, it is

impractical for the tenants of the Project to individually make such

alterations, additions or changes, Landlord shall make such alterations,

additions or changes and the cost thereof shall be a direct expense and Tenant

shall pay its percentage share of such cost to Landlord as provided in

paragraphs 4 and 5, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraphs 5(b) and

55 herein.



     9.   REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.  Subject to paragraph 16, Landlord shall

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

maintain and keep in good repair the Common Area and the mechanical, electrical,

plumbing and sewage systems, windows, window frames, plate glass, glazing,

elevators, gutters and downspouts, the roof, structural elements of the roof,

exterior walls, structural elements and the heating, ventilating and air

conditioning systems (unless dedicated entirely to the Premises) of the Premises

and the Project; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to

perform repairs made necessary by the negligence or abuse of such improvements

or property by Tenant or its employees, agents, subtenants or permittees.  The

cost of all maintenance and repairs made by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph

9, including without limitation maintenance contracts and supplies, materials,

equipment and tools used in such repairs and maintenance, shall be direct

expenses and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such costs to Landlord as

provided in paragraphs 4 and 5, subject to the limitations set forth in

paragraphs 5(b) and 55 herein.



          By entry hereunder Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and

sanitary order, condition and repair.  Subject to paragraphs 16 and 21, and

excepting repairs and maintenance required by this paragraph 9 to be made by

Landlord, Tenant at its cost shall keep the Premises and every part thereof

(including the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems dedicated

entirely to and servicing only the Premises, subject to Landlord's approval of

all contractors and that such services are performed to at least the standard of

service provided by Landlord at the Project) in good and sanitary order,

condition and repair and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and

maintenance of, and electricity supplied to, any special air conditioning for

Tenant's computer facilities.  Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide

Landlord with copies of 



                                     12.

<PAGE>

 

all contracts, records, receipts, written communications, invoices and

payments made in connection with such HVAC services. If Landlord determines at

any time that such contractors or the HVAC services being provided are

unacceptable in Landlord's discretion, Landlord may terminate Tenant's right

to provide or obtain such services, in which case Landlord shall be

responsible for such services and all reasonable costs related thereto shall

be direct expenses and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such costs to

Landlord as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this lease. All contracts for

such services entered into by Tenant shall be terminable by Tenant at any time

and for any reason and Tenant shall exercise such right upon Landlord's

written request and notice that Landlord is resuming responsibility for such

services. Further, Tenant shall repair (or, at the option of Landlord,

reimburse Landlord if Landlord elects to repair) damage to improvements or

other property located on or about the Project where such repairs are made

necessary by the negligence of or abuse of such improvement or other property

by Tenant or its employees, agents, subtenants or permittees. Tenant waives all

rights and benefits under California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941, and

1942 and under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in

effect.



     10.  LIENS.  Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Project free from any

          -----                                                               

liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations

incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors.  Upon Tenant's receipt

of a preliminary twenty (20) day notice filed by a claimant pursuant to

California Civil Code Section 3097, Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord

with a copy of such  notice.  Should any lien be recorded against the Project,

Tenant shall give immediate notice of such lien to Landlord.  In the event that

Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days following the imposition of such lien,

cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all

other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but no obligation, to

cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including

payment of the claim giving rise to such lien.  All sums paid by Landlord for

such purpose, and all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in

connection therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with

interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate

permitted by law, whichever is less.  Landlord shall have the right at all times

to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by

law, or which Landlord shall deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the

Premises and the Project and any other party having an interest therein, from

mechanics' and materialmen's liens and like liens.  Tenant shall give Landlord

at least ten (10) days' prior notice of the date of commencement of any

construction on the Premises in order to permit the posting of such notices.  In

the event Tenant is required to post an improvement bond with a public agency in

connection with any work performed by Tenant on or to the Premises, Tenant shall

include Landlord as an additional obligee.



     11.  INSURANCE.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep in force

          ---------                                                            

during the term (i) commercial general liability and property damage insurance

with a combined single limit of at least $4,000,000 per occurrence insuring

against personal or bodily injury to or death of persons occurring in, on or

about the Premises or Project and any and all liability of the insureds with

respect to the 



                                     13.

<PAGE>

 

Premises or arising out of Tenant's maintenance, use or occupancy of the

Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto, (ii) direct physical loss-special

insurance covering the leasehold improvements in the Premises and all of

Tenant's equipment, trade fixtures, appliances, furniture, furnishings, and

personal property from time to time located in, on or about the Premises, with

coverage in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, and (iii)

Worker's Compensation Insurance as required by law, together with employer's

liability coverage with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury

for each accident and for bodily injury by disease for each employee. Tenant's

commercial general liability and property damage insurance and Tenant's

Workers Compensation Insurance shall be endorsed to provide that said

insurance shall not be cancelled or reduced except upon at least thirty (30)

days prior written notice to Landlord. Further, Tenant's commercial general

liability and property damage insurance shall be primary and shall be endorsed

to provide that Landlord and McCandless Management Corporation, and their

respective partners, officers, directors, lenders and employees and such other

persons or entities as reasonably directed from time to time by Landlord shall

be named as additional insureds for all liability using ISO Bureau Form

CG20111185 (or a successor form) or such other endorsement form reasonably

acceptable to Landlord; shall contain a severability of interest clause and a

cross-liability endorsement; shall be endorsed to provide that the limits and

aggregates apply per location using ISO Bureau Form CG25041185 (or a successor

form) or such other endorsement form reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and

shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the

State of California and rated A/VIII or better in Best's Insurance Reports (or

successor report). The deductibles for all insurance required to be maintained

by Tenant hereunder shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The

commercial general liability insurance carried by Tenant shall specifically

insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnification provisions set forth

in paragraph 17 of this lease provided, however, nothing contained in this

paragraph 11 shall be construed to limit the liability of Tenant under the

indemnification provisions set forth in said paragraph 17. If Landlord or any

of the additional insureds named on any of Tenant's insurance, have other

insurance which is applicable to the covered loss on a contributing, excess or

contingent basis, the amount of the Tenant's insurance company's liability

under the policy of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not be reduced by the

existence of such other insurance. Any insurance carried by Landlord or any of

the additional insureds named on Tenant's insurance policies shall be excess

and non-contributing with the insurance so provided by Tenant.



          Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the term and at least

thirty (30) days prior to any renewal date on any insurance policy required to

be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph, provide Landlord with a

completed Certificate of Insurance, using a form acceptable in Landlord's

reasonable judgement, attaching thereto copies of all endorsements required to

be provided by Tenant under this lease.  Tenant agrees to increase the coverage

or otherwise comply with changes in connection with said commercial general

liability, property damage, direct physical loss and Worker's Compensation

Insurance as Landlord or Landlord's lender may from time to time require.



                                     14.

<PAGE>

 

          Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of

insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Project, in the amount of

the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils

included within the classification of "all risk" insurance, with increased cost

of reconstruction and contingent liability (including demolition), plus a policy

of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of twelve

(12) months' rent (including sums paid as additional rent) and such other

insurance as Landlord or Landlord's lender may from time to time require.

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain flood and/or earthquake

insurance.  Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if Landlord elects not to

obtain flood and/or earthquake insurance.  The cost of all such insurance

purchased by Landlord, plus any charges for deferred payment of premiums and the

amount of any deductible incurred upon any covered loss within the Project,

shall be direct expenses and Tenant shall pay to Landlord its percentage share

of such costs as provided in paragraphs 4(b) and 5(b).  If the cost of insurance

is increased due to Tenant's use of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to

Landlord upon demand the full cost of such increase.



          Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any and all rights of

recovery against one another for real or personal property loss or damage

occurring to the Premises or the Project, or any part thereof, or to any

personal property therein, from perils insured against under fire and extended

insurance and any other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of

the respective parties so long as such insurance permits waiver of liability and

contains a waiver of subrogation without additional premiums.



          If Tenant does not take out and maintain insurance as required

pursuant to this paragraph 11, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take

out the necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor, and Tenant shall repay

to Landlord promptly on demand, as additional rent, the amount so paid.  In

addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as

additional rent, any and all reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) and

damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of the failure of Tenant to obtain

and maintain such insurance, it being expressly declared that the expenses and

damages of Landlord shall not be limited to the amount of the premiums thereon.



     12.  UTILITIES AND SERVICE.  Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, light,

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

heat, power, electricity, telephone, trash pickup, sewer charges, janitorial and

all other services supplied to or consumed on the Premises.  In the event that

any service is not separately metered or billed to the Premises, the cost of

such utility service or other service shall be a direct expense and Tenant shall

pay its percentage share of such cost to Landlord as provided in paragraph 5.

In addition, the cost of all utilities and services furnished by Landlord to the

Common Area shall be a direct expense and Tenant shall pay its percentage share

of such cost to Landlord as provided in paragraph 5.



          If Tenant's use of any such utility or service is materially in excess

of the average furnished to the other tenants of the Project, and such utility

or service is not separately metered, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon

demand, 



                                     15.

<PAGE>

 

as additional rent, the full cost of such excess use, or Landlord may cause

such utility or service to be separately metered, in which case Tenant shall

pay the full cost of such utility or service and reimburse Landlord upon

demand for the cost of installing the separate meter. In the event that

Landlord charges Tenant for excess usage of utilities, Tenant shall have the

right to have the electricity for each floor separately metered, at Tenant's

cost paid in advance to Landlord, if such separate meters are practical and

reasonable in light of the amount of the excess charges and each such separate

meter shall be for an entire floor of a building occupied by Tenant.



          Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to

any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of, the failure of any person or

entity to furnish any of the foregoing services when such failure is caused by

accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or

labor disputes of any character, governmental moratoriums, regulations or other

governmental actions, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the

reasonable control of Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall not be relieved from

the performance of any covenant or agreement in this lease because of any such

failure, and no eviction of Tenant shall result from such failure.



     13.  TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.   All real estate taxes and assessments and

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

other taxes, fees and charges of every kind or nature, foreseen or unforeseen,

which are levied, assessed or imposed upon Landlord and/or against the Premises,

building, Common Area or Project or any part thereof by any federal, state,

county, regional, municipal or other governmental or quasi-governmental

authority or special district authority, together with any increases therein

whether resulting from increased rate and/or valuation, shall be a direct

expense and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such costs to Landlord as

provided in paragraphs 4 and 5.  By way of illustration and not limitation,

"other taxes, fees and charges" as used herein include any and all taxes payable

by Landlord (other than state and federal personal or corporate income taxes

measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, and premium taxes),

whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto,

(i) upon, allocable to, or measured by the rent payable hereunder, including,

without limitation, any gross income or excise tax levied by the local, state or

federal government with respect to the receipt of such rent, (ii) upon or with

respect to the possession, leasing,  operation, management, maintenance,

alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any part

thereof, (iii) upon or measured by the value of Tenant's personal property or

leasehold improvements located in the Premises, (iv) upon this transaction or

any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or

estate in the Premises, (v) upon or with respect to vehicles, parking or the

number of persons employed in, at or about the Project, and (vi) any tax,

license, franchise fee or other imposition upon Landlord which is otherwise

measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Project or any portion

thereof.  If Landlord contests any such tax, fee or charge, the cost and expense

incurred by Landlord (including, but not limited to, costs of attorneys and

experts) thereby shall also be direct expenses and Tenant shall pay its

percentage share of such costs to Landlord as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5.

In the event the Premises and any improvements installed therein by Tenant 



                                     16.

<PAGE>

 

or Landlord are valued by the assessor disproportionately higher than those of

other tenants in the building or Project or in the event alterations or

improvements are made to the Premises, Tenant's percentage share of such taxes,

assessments, fees and/or charges shall be readjusted upward accordingly and

Tenant agrees to pay such readjusted share.  Such determination shall be made by

Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheet or

such other information as may be reasonably available.



          Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or

assessed during the term hereof upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and

other personal property located in the Premises, including carpeting and other

property installed by Tenant notwithstanding that such carpeting or other

property has become a part of the Premises.  If any of Tenant's personal

property shall be assessed with the Project, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as

additional rent, the amounts attributable to Tenant's personal property within

ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement from Landlord setting forth

the amount of such taxes, assessments and public charges attributable to

Tenant's personal property.



     14.  ENTRY BY LANDLORD.   Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable

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

times have, the right to enter the Premises following the giving of reasonable

advance notice (e.g. 24 hours notice except in case of emergency) (i) to inspect

the Premises, (ii) to supply services to be provided by Landlord hereunder,

(iii) to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants and to

put 'for sale' or 'for lease' signs thereon, (iv) to post notices required or

allowed by this lease or by law, (v) to alter, improve or repair the Premises

and any portion of the Project when required by law, or necessary to fulfill its

obligations as Landlord under this or other leases in the Project, or as

otherwise permitted by Tenant, which permission shall not be unreasonably

withheld or delayed, and (vi) to erect scaffolding and other necessary

structures in or through the Premises or the Project where reasonably required

by the character of the work to be performed.  Landlord shall not be liable in

any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or

other damage arising from Landlord's entry and acts pursuant to this paragraph

unless caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct and Tenant

shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if Landlord exercises

any rights reserved in this paragraph.  For each of the foregoing purposes,

Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of

the doors in, on, and about the Premises (excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and

similar areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance), and Landlord shall

have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open

said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises.  Any entry

by Landlord to the Premises pursuant to this paragraph shall not under any

circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or

a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant

from the Premises or any portion thereof.



     15.  COMMON AREA; PARKING.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this

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

lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time

prescribe, Tenant and Tenant's employees and invitees shall, in common with

other occupants of 

<PAGE>

 

the Project, and their respective employees and invitees and others entitled

to the use thereof, have the nonexclusive right to use the access roads,

parking areas and facilities within the Project provided and designated by

Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of the Project,

which areas and facilities shall include, but not be limited to, common

lobbies, corridors, restrooms and showers, part or all of the Greylands

Mansion and the .37 acre parcel upon which it is located (unless the right to

use thereof by Landlord's tenants is subsequently terminated), telephone,

electrical, janitorial and mechanical rooms, elevators, stairwells, vertical

duct shafts, sidewalks, parking, refuse, landscape and plaza areas, roofs,

building exteriors, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC systems, and

storage areas, which areas and facilities are referred to herein as "Common

Area". This right shall terminate upon the termination of this lease.



          Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the

shape, size, location, amount and extent of the Common Area so long as such

change does not reduce the number of Tenant's parking spaces or unreasonably

impair Tenant's access to or use of the Premises.  Landlord shall also have the

right at any time to change the name, number or designation by which the Project

is commonly known.  Landlord further reserves the right to promulgate such

reasonable rules and regulations relating to the use of the Common Area, and any

part thereof, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate for the best interests

of the occupants of the Project.  The rules and regulations shall be binding

upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant and Tenant shall abide by

them and cooperate in their observance.  Such rules and regulations may be

amended by Landlord from time to time, with or without advance notice.



          Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's right to provide its tenants with

use of the Greylands Mansion may be terminated in the future and upon such

termination the Common Area shall thereafter include no part of the Greylands

Mansion and the .37 acre parcel upon which it is located.



          Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the

nonexclusive use of one hundred ninety (190) parking spaces in the Common Area

as designated from time to time by Landlord and commencing on the Building 2145

Expansion Date, Tenant shall have the nonexclusive use of a total of three

hundred eighty-one (381) parking spaces in the Common Area as designated from

time to time by Landlord.  Landlord reserves the right at its sole option to

assign and label parking spaces, but it is specifically agreed that Landlord is

not responsible for policing any such parking spaces.  Tenant shall not at any

time park or permit the parking of Tenant's trucks or other vehicles, or the

trucks or other vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere

in any way with the use of such areas; nor shall Tenant at any time park or

permit the parking of Tenant's vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of

Tenant's suppliers or others, in any portion of the Common Area not designated

by Landlord for such use by Tenant.  Tenant shall not park or permit any

inoperative vehicle or equipment to be parked on any portion of the Common Area.



                                     18.

<PAGE>

 

          Landlord shall operate, manage and maintain the Common Area.  The

manner in which the Common Area shall be operated, managed and maintained and

the expenditures for such operation, management and maintenance shall be

consistent with those of a first class office complex.  The cost of such

maintenance, operation and management, including but not limited to landscaping,

repair of paving, parking lots and sidewalks, the Greylands Mansion (including

interior repair and maintenance, janitorial service, furniture rental or

depreciation charges, and lease payments charged by the owner of the Greylands

Mansion), security services and salaries and employee benefits. (including union

benefits) of on-site and accounting personnel engaged in such maintenance and

operations management, shall be a direct expense and Tenant shall pay to

Landlord its percentage share of such cost as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5,

subject to the limitations described in such paragraphs.



     16.  DAMAGE BY FIRE; CASUALTY.   In the event the Premises are damaged by

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

any casualty which is covered under an insurance policy required to be

maintained by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 11, Landlord shall be entitled to

the use of all insurance proceeds and shall repair such damage as soon as

reasonably possible and this lease shall continue in full force and effect.



          In the event the Premises are damaged by any casualty not covered

under an insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to paragraph 11,

Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either (i) repair such damage, at Landlord's

expense, as soon as reasonably possible, in which event this lease shall

continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice to Tenant within

thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damages of Landlord's

intention to cancel and terminate this lease as of the date of the occurrence of

the damages; provided, however, that if such damage is caused by an act or

omission of Tenant or its agent, servants or employees, then Tenant shall repair

such damage promptly at its sole cost and expense.  In the event Landlord elects

to terminate this lease pursuant hereto, Tenant shall have the right within ten

(10) days after receipt of the required notice to notify Landlord in writing of

Tenant's intention to repair such damage at Tenant's expense, without

reimbursement from Landlord, in which event this lease shall continue in full

force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as

reasonably possible.  If Tenant does not give such notice within the ten (10)

day period, this lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of the

occurrence of such damage.  Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to

repair any injury or damage to (by fire or other cause), or to make any

restoration or replacement of, any of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures

or property leased from third parties, whether or not the same is attached to

the Premises.



          If the Premises are totally destroyed during the term from any cause

(including any destruction required by any authorized public authority), whether

or not covered by the insurance required under paragraph 11, this lease shall

automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction; provided,

however, that if the Premises can reasonably and lawfully be repaired or

restored within eight (8) months of the date of destruction to substantially the

condition existing prior to such destruction and if the proceeds of the

insurance payable to the 



                                     19.

<PAGE>

 

Landlord by reason of such destruction are sufficient to pay the cost of such

repair or restoration, then the said insurance proceeds shall be so applied,

Landlord shall promptly repair and restore the Premises and this lease shall

continue, without interruption, in full force and effect. If the Premises are

totally destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the term, Landlord may

at Landlord's option cancel and terminate this lease as of the date of

occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord's

election to do so within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage.



          If the Premises are partially or totally destroyed or damaged and

Landlord or Tenant repair them pursuant to this lease, the rent payable

hereunder for the period during which such damage and repair continues shall be

abated only in proportion to the square footage of the Premises rendered

untenantable to Tenant by such damage or destruction.  Tenant shall have no

claim against Landlord for any damage, loss or expense suffered by reason of any

such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, unless caused by Landlord's

gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The parties waive the provisions of

California Civil Code sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) (which provisions permit the

termination of a lease upon destruction of the lease premises), and hereby agree

that the provisions of this paragraph 16 shall govern in the event of such

destruction.



     17.  INDEMNIFICATION.   Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant

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

hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any

person or damage to or destruction of property in or about the Premises or the

Project by or from any cause whatsoever except those caused by Landlord's gross

negligence or willful misconduct or the failure of Landlord to perform its

obligations under this lease where such failure has persisted for an

unreasonable period of time after notice of such failure.  Without limiting the

foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any injury to or death of

any person or damages to or destruction of property by reason of, or arising

from, any latent defect in the Premises or Project or the act or negligence of

any other tenant of the Project.  Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any

defect in the Premises or Project discovered by Tenant.



          Except as to injury to persons or damage to property caused by

Landlord's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or the failure by Landlord to

observe any of the terms and conditions of this lease, Tenant shall hold

Landlord harmless from and indemnify and defend Landlord against any claim,

liability, loss, damage or expense (including attorney fees) arising  out of any

injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property

occurring in, on or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever or on account

of the use, condition, occupational safety or occupancy of the Premises.  Tenant

shall further hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify and defend Landlord

against any claim, liability, loss, damage or expense (including attorney fees)

arising (i) from Tenant's use of the Premises or from the conduct of its

business or from any activity or work done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or

its agents or employees in or about the Premises or Project, (ii) out of the

failure of Tenant to observe or comply with Tenant's obligation to observe and

comply with laws or other requirements as set forth in paragraph 7, (iii) by

reason of Tenant's use, handling, storage, or disposal of toxic or 



                                     20.

<PAGE>

 

hazardous materials or waste, (iv) by reason of any labor or service performed

for, or materials used by or furnished to, Tenant or any contractor engaged by

Tenant with respect to the Premises, or (v) from any other act, neglect, fault

or omission of Tenant or its agents or employees.



          The provisions of this paragraph 17 shall survive the expiration or

earlier termination of this lease.



     18.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

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



          Tenant shall not voluntarily assign, encumber or otherwise transfer

its interest in this lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of

the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any

part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and otherwise complying with the

requirements of this paragraph 18.  Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease

without Landlord's consent, shall constitute a default.  The proposed assignee

or subtenant is referred to herein as the "Transferee".  Reasonable grounds for

denying consent to a proposed assignment or sublet include, without limitation,

any of the following:



          (a) Transferee's character, reputation, credit history, or business is

not consistent with the character or quality of the Project;



          (b) Transferee is either a government agency or an instrumentality of

one;



          (c) Transferee's intended use of the Premises is inconsistent with the

permitted use specified in this lease or such use will materially and adversely

affect Landlord's interest;



          (d) Transferee's financial condition is or may be inadequate to

support the lease obligations of Transferee under the assignment or sublease;



          (e) The assignment or sublet would cause Landlord to violate another

lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party or would give another tenant in

the Project the right to cancel its lease;



          (f) Transferee occupies space in the Project and such space is not

contiguous to the Premises, is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the

Project, or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) months immediately

preceding notice of the proposed assignment or sublet to Landlord, provided that

Landlord has similar space available in the Project at the time of Tenant's

proposed transfer;



          (g) Transferee does not intend to occupy the entire Premises and

conduct business there for a substantial portion of the term of the assignment

or sublease; or



                                     21.

<PAGE>

 

          (h) The rent charged by Tenant to Transferee during the term of the

assignment or sublet, is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the market rent

at that time for comparable space in the Project for a comparable term.



          If Tenant desires to assign or sublet all or any portion of the

Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice ("Transfer Notice") thereof,

specifying the projected commencement date of the proposed sublet or assignment

(which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days or more than ninety (90)

days after the date of Landlord's receipt of such notice), the portions of the

Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned (the "Subject Space"), a description

of any planned alterations or improvements to the Subject Space, the terms and

conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease (including the rent to be paid

by the Transferee and any and all other consideration to be given by the

Transferee), the name, address and telephone number of the Transferee, and a

detailed calculation of the Transfer Premium (defined below) (certified by

Tenant's chief financial officer) to be paid as provided below.  Tenant shall

further provide Landlord with such other information concerning such Transferee

as requested by Landlord.  If (i) the Subject Space for all subleases entered

into by Tenant in the aggregate consists of more than 35,000 square feet, or

(ii) the Subject Space for all subleases entered into by Tenant in the aggregate

consists of more than 20,000 square feet and the term of the proposed sublease

is greater than twenty-four (24) months or will expire during the last twelve

(12) months of this lease, then for a period of thirty (30) days after

Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord shall have the option,

exercisable by delivering written notice to Tenant, to terminate this lease for

the Subject Space or for the entire building in which the Subject Space is

located as of the date specified in Landlord's written notice to Tenant, which

date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days

after the date of Landlord's written notice to Tenant.  Landlord shall have the

right to communicate with such Transferee to discuss the terms of the proposed

assignment or sublet, to discuss and negotiate, if Landlord desires, the terms

of a direct lease between Landlord and Transferee, or any other matter and to

enter into a direct lease agreement with Transferee as provided below and

failure of Transferee to meet with Landlord and to negotiate in good faith the

terms of a direct lease with Landlord shall constitute grounds for Landlord's

refusal to consent to the proposed assignment or sublet.    If Landlord

exercises its option to terminate this lease as provided in the foregoing

sentence, Landlord may, if it so elects, enter into a new lease for the building

in which the Subject Space is located or any portion thereof with the Transferee

or any other third party on such terms as Landlord and the Transferee or other

third party may agree; in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any

portion of the profit, if any, which Landlord may realize on account of such

termination and reletting.  If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this

lease with respect to either (a) the building in which the Subject Space is

located, or (b) the Subject Space only, then Tenant shall continue to be

obligated under this lease as to the remaining space (i.e., the Premises less

the building in which the Subject Space is located or the Subject Space) and

basic rent and direct expenses payable by Tenant under this lease shall be

adjusted as follows:  (i) the basic rent amount(s) specified in paragraphs 4(a)

and 5(a) of this lease shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which

is the square feet of the Premises 



                                     22.

<PAGE>

 

retained by Tenant after Landlord's recapture and the denominator of which is

the total square feet of the Premises before Landlord's recapture; (ii)

Tenant's proportionate share of direct expenses as provided in paragraph 5(b)

of this lease shall be reduced to reflect Tenant's proportionate share based

on the square feet of the Premises retained by Tenant after Landlord's

recapture. This lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force

and effect. Either party may require written confirmation of the amendments to

this lease necessitated by Landlord's recapture. If Landlord recaptures the

Subject Space only, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense, construct any

partitions required to segregate the Subject Space from the remaining Premises

retained by Tenant. Tenant shall, however, pay for painting, covering, or

otherwise decorating the surfaces of the partitions facing the remaining

Premises retained by Tenant.



          If Landlord consents in writing to the proposed assignment or sublet,

Tenant shall be free to assign or sublet all or a portion of the Premises

subject to the following conditions:  (i) any assignment or sublease shall be on

the same terms set forth in the Transfer Notice given to Landlord; (ii) no

assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or subtenant shall take

possession of the Subject Space until an executed counterpart of such assignment

or sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (iii) no assignee or subtenant shall

have a further right to assign or sublet; (iv) eighty percent (80%) of any sums

or other consideration payable by Transferee to Tenant as a result of or in

connection with such assignment or sublet (except rental or other payments

received which are attributable to the amortization over the term of this lease

of (a) the cost of leasehold improvements constructed by Tenant for such

assignee or subtenant, excluding the initial tenant improvements to be

constructed in the Premises pursuant to the terms of this lease, if any, and (b)

broker fees and attorneys fees paid by Tenant in connection therewith) whether

denominated rentals or otherwise, which exceed, in the aggregate, the basic rent

and direct expenses which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this lease

during the term of such assignment or sublease (prorated to reflect obligations

allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease), shall be

payable to Landlord monthly as additional rent under this lease without

affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder (such amounts are

referred to herein as the "Transfer Premium"); (v) no assignment or sublet shall

release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant

to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant

hereunder; and (vi) any assignee or subtenant must expressly agree to assume and

perform all of the covenants and conditions of Tenant under this lease.  Tenant

shall pay to Landlord promptly upon demand as additional rent, Landlord's actual

and reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs incurred for

reviewing, processing or documenting any requested assignment or sublease,

whether or not Landlord's consent is granted.  Tenant shall not be entitled to

assign this lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises (and any attempt

to do so shall be voidable by Landlord) during any period in which Tenant is in

default under this lease.



          If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary or

involuntary or by operation of law, of any general partner or the dissolution of

the 



                                     23.

<PAGE>

 

partnership shall be deemed an assignment of this lease subject to all the

conditions of this paragraph 18.  If Tenant is a corporation any dissolution,

merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or the sale or other

transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant or the sale

of more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of Tenant's assets shall be an

assignment of this lease subject to all the conditions of this paragraph 18.

The term "controlling percentage" means the ownership of, and the right to vote,

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.  This

subparagraph of this paragraph 18 shall not apply if Tenant is a corporation the

stock of which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock

Exchange or NASDAQ.



          The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be

deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.  Consent to one

assignment or sublet shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or

sublet.  In the event of default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor of

Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed

directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against

such assignee or successor.  Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or

sublets of this lease or amendments or modifications to this lease with

assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and

without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve

Tenant of liability under this lease.



          No interest of Tenant in this lease shall be assignable by operation

of law (including, without limitation, the transfer of this lease by testacy or

intestacy).  Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary

assignment:  (i) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an

assignment for the benefit of creditors or institutes a proceeding under the

Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or, if Tenant is a partnership

or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership

or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an

assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a writ of attachment or

execution is levied on this lease; or (iii) if, in any proceeding or action to

which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take

possession of the Premises.  An involuntary assignment shall constitute a

default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this

lease, in which case this lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant.



          Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security

for Tenant's obligations under this lease, all rent or other consideration from

any assignment or subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by

this lease, and Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a

receiver of Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent or

other consideration and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this lease

and any Transferee agrees to make such payments directly to Landlord upon

Landlord's written request; provided that, until the occurrence of a default by

Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent, subject to promptly

forwarding to Landlord any portion thereof to which Landlord is entitled

pursuant to this paragraph 18.



                                     24.

          Notwithstanding the above requirement that Tenant obtain the consent

of Landlord prior to any assignment or sublet, Tenant may, without obtaining the

prior consent of Landlord, assign or sublease the whole or any part of the

Premises to any corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by, or

is under common control with Tenant ("Tenant Affiliate"), provided that (i)

Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord in the manner required for

other assignments or subleases by this paragraph 18 or as soon as reasonably

possible in the event such prior notice is prohibited by law; (ii) Tenant shall

continue to be fully obligated under this lease; (iii) any such assignee or

sublessee shall expressly assume and agree to perform all the terms and

conditions of this lease to be performed by Tenant; and (iv) any such assignment

or sublet shall be subject to all other terms and conditions of this paragraph

18 pertaining to assignments and/or sublets (excepting only the requirement

concerning prior written consent of Landlord).



     19.  DEFAULT.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a

          -------                                                            

default by Tenant and default as used in this lease shall mean:  (i) failure of

Tenant to pay any rent or other sum payable hereunder  when due (provided that

Landlord's right to terminate this lease for such default shall be subject to

Tenant's right to cure within three (3) days after written notice of such

default pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq);

(ii) abandonment of the Premises (Tenant's failure to occupy and conduct

business in the Premises for fourteen (14) consecutive days while in default of

any other provision of this lease shall be deemed an abandonment);  (iii)

failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord any instrument, assurance, financial

statement, subordination agreement or certificate of estoppel required under

this Lease within the time period specified for such performance if the failure

continues for five (5) days after written notice of the failure from Landlord to

Tenant; or (iv) failure of Tenant to perform any other obligation under this

lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after

written notice thereof has been given to Tenant, except in the case of an

emergency or dangerous condition, in which case Tenant's time to perform shall

be that time period which is reasonable under the circumstances, but not more

than thirty (30) days and except in circumstances where such failure cannot be

cured within such thirty (30) day period, so long as Tenant commences such cure

within such period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.  The

notice referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall specify the obligations

Tenant has failed to perform. No notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or

termination of this lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice.  No notice

shall be required in the event of abandonment or vacation of the Premises and

Tenant has not provided Landlord with an alternate address where Tenant can be

found and Tenant accepts service of process and notices required hereunder.



          In addition to the above, the occurrence of any of the following

events shall also constitute a default by Tenant:  (i) Tenant fails to pay its

debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or

makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors (for purposes of

determining whether Tenant is not paying its debts as they become due, a debt

shall be deemed overdue upon the earliest to occur of the following: thirty (30)

days from the date a 



                                     25.

<PAGE>

 

statement therefor has been rendered; the date on which any action or

proceeding therefor is commenced; or the date on which a formal notice of

default or demand has been sent); and (ii) any financial statements given to

Landlord by Tenant, any assignee of Tenant, subtenant of Tenant, any guarantor

of Tenant, or successor in interest of Tenant (including, without limitation,

any schedule of Tenant's aged accounts payable) are materially false.



          In the event of a default by Tenant, then Landlord, in addition to any

other rights and remedies of Landlord at law or in equity, shall have the right

either to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises (and thereby

terminate this lease) or, from time to time and without termination of this

lease, to relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account and in the name

of Tenant for such term and on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its

reasonable discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and

repairs to the Premises.



          Should Landlord elect to keep this lease in full force and effect,

Landlord shall have the right to enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies

under this lease, including but not limited to the right to recover and to relet

the Premises and such other rights and remedies as Landlord may have under

California Civil Code Section 1951.4, which Section provides that the landlord

may continue the Lease in effect after the tenant's breach and abandonment and

recover rent as it becomes due, when the tenant has the right to sublet or

assign, subject only to reasonable limitations (or successor Code section) or

any other California statute.  If Landlord relets the Premises, then Tenant

shall pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, the costs and expenses reasonably

incurred by Landlord in such reletting and in making alterations and repairs.

Rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied (i) to the

payment of any indebtedness due hereunder, other than basic rent and direct

expenses, from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) to the payment of the cost of any

repairs necessary to return the Premises to good condition normal wear and tear

excepted, including the cost of alterations and the cost of storing any of

Tenant's property left on the Premises at the time of reletting; and (iii) to

the payment of basic rent or direct expenses due and unpaid hereunder.  The

residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent

or damages in the event of termination as the same may become due and payable

hereunder and the balance, if any at the end of the term of this lease, shall be

paid to Tenant.  Should the basic rent and direct expenses received from time to

time from such reletting during any month be less than that agreed to be paid

during that month by Tenant hereunder then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to

Landlord.  Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.  No such

reletting of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its

part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention is given

to Tenant or unless the termination hereof is decreed by a court of competent

jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord

may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for such previous

breach, provided it has not been cured.



                                     26.

<PAGE>

 

          Should Landlord at any time terminate this lease for any breach, in

addition to any other remedy it may have, it shall have the immediate right of

entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises and shall have

all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by California Civil Code

Section 1951.2 or any successor code section.  Upon such termination, in

addition to all its other rights and remedies, Landlord shall be entitled to

recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including

the cost of recovering the Premises and including (i) the worth at the time of

award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (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 that Tenant proves could have been reasonably

avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the 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; (iv)

any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment

proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this

lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result

therefrom.  The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in (i)

and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve percent

(12%) per annum.  The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in

(iii) above shall be 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%).  Tenant waives the provisions of Section 1179 of the California Code of

Civil Procedure (which Section allows Tenant to petition a court of competent

jurisdiction for relief against forfeiture of this lease).  Property removed

from the Premises may be stored in a public or private warehouse or elsewhere at

the sole cost and expense of Tenant.  In the event that Tenant shall not

immediately pay the cost of storage of such property after the same has been

stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all

thereof at a public or private sale in such manner and at such times and places

that Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem proper, without notice to or

demand upon Tenant.



     20.  LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT.   Landlord, at any time

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

after Tenant commits a default, may, but shall not be obligated to, cure the

default at Tenant's cost.  If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant's

default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the

sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord and shall

bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate

permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date the sum is paid by Landlord

until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.  Amounts due Landlord hereunder shall be

additional rent.



     21.  EMINENT DOMAIN.   If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by

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

any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or

conveyance in lieu thereof, this lease shall terminate as to any portion of the

Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and

Landlord shall be entitled to any payments, income, rent, award or any interest

therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or

conveyance.  Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the

value of any unexpired 



                                     27.

<PAGE>

 

term of this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to

any compensation for depreciation to and cost of removal of Tenant's equipment

and fixtures and any compensation for its relocation expenses necessitated by

such taking, but in each case only to the extent the condemning authority

makes a separate award therefor or specifically identifies a portion of the

award as being therefor. Each party waives the provisions of Section 1265.130

of the California Code of Civil Procedure (which section allows either party

to petition the Superior Court to terminate this lease in the event of a

partial taking of the Premises).



          If any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the

Premises or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the

right of power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the Premises or more

than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or the Project, and Landlord shall

decide to discontinue the use and operation of the Project or decide to

demolish, alter or rebuild the Project, then Landlord shall have the right to

terminate this lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60)

days of the earlier of the date of Landlord's receipt of such notice of

intention to condemn or the commencement of said action or proceeding.  Such

termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month next

following the month in which such notice is given or the date on which title

shall vest in the condemnor, whichever occurs first.



          In the event of a partial taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of

the Premises and fifty percent (50%) or more of the number of square feet in the

Premises are taken then Tenant may terminate this lease.  Any election by Tenant

to so terminate shall be by written notice given to Landlord within sixty (60)

days from the date of such taking or conveyance and shall be effective on the

last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is

given or the date on which title shall vest in the condemnor, whichever occurs

first.



          If a portion of the Premises is taken by power of eminent domain or

conveyance in lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this lease

as provided above then this lease shall continue in full force and effect as to

the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed and all payments of rent shall

be apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter

the amounts to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the

portion of the Premises not so taken bears to the total area of the Premises

prior to such taking.



     22.  NOTICE AND COVENANT TO SURRENDER.   On the last day of the term or on

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

the effective date of any earlier termination, Tenant shall surrender to

Landlord the Premises in as good a condition as existed as of the date of

completion of construction of the initial Tenant Improvements (subject to

Landlord's right to require removal of same as specified in the Work Letter

attached hereto as Exhibit D) and, except as otherwise provided by Landlord

pursuant to the terms of paragraph 8 of this lease, all the improvements and

alterations made to the Premises in their condition existing as of the date of

completion of construction and/or installation (normal wear and tear excepted),

with all originally painted interior walls washed or repainted if marked or

damaged, interior vinyl covered walls cleaned and repaired 



                                     28.

<PAGE>

 

or replaced if marked or damaged, all carpets shampooed and cleaned and all

floors cleaned and waxed; all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. On

or prior to the last day of the term or the effective date of any earlier

termination, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's personal property and trade

fixtures, together with improvements or alterations that Tenant is obligated

to remove pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 8 of this lease, from the

Premises, and all such property not removed shall be deemed abandoned. In

addition, on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this lease,

Tenant shall remove, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, all telephone, other

communication, computer and any other cabling and wiring of any sort installed

in the space above the suspended ceiling of the Premises or anywhere else in

the Premises and shall promptly repair any damage to the suspended ceiling,

lights, light fixtures, walls and any other part of the Premises resulting

from such removal.



          If the Premises are not surrendered as required in this paragraph,

Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss, liability and expense

(including but not limited to, attorney fees) resulting from the failure by

Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any

claims made by any succeeding tenants.  It is agreed between Landlord and Tenant

that the provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of this lease.



     23.  TENANT'S QUITCLAIM.   At the expiration or earlier termination of this

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

lease, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within ten

(10) business days after written demand from Landlord to Tenant, any quitclaim

deed or other document required to remove the cloud or encumbrance created by

this lease from the real property of which the Premises are a part.  This

obligation shall survive said expiration or termination.



     24.  HOLDING OVER.   Any holding over after the expiration or termination

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

of this lease with the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a

tenancy from month-to-month at the monthly rent agreed upon by Landlord and

Tenant, but in no event less than the monthly rent payable under this lease for

the last lease month before the date of such expiration or termination.  All

provisions of this lease, except (i) as modified by the preceding sentence and

(ii) those provisions pertaining to the term, expansion rights and any option to

extend, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy.



          If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof

without Landlord's written consent following the expiration or sooner

termination of this lease for any reason, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as

rent during the holdover period an amount equal to the greater of (i) two

hundred percent (200%) of the amount of the monthly rent in effect during the

last full lease month prior to the date of such expiration or termination or

(ii) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market rental (as reasonably

determined by Landlord) for the Premises.  Tenant shall also indemnify and hold

Landlord harmless from any loss, liability and expense (including, but not

limited to, attorneys fees) resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the

Premises, including without limitation any claims made by any succeeding tenant

founded on such delay.  Acceptance of rent by Landlord 



                                     29.

<PAGE>

 

following expiration or termination shall not constitute a renewal of this

lease, and nothing contained in this paragraph shall waive Landlord's right of

re-entry or any other right. Tenant shall be only a tenant at sufferance,

whether or not Landlord accepts any rent from Tenant, while Tenant is holding

over without Landlord's written consent.



          The provisions of this paragraph 24 are in addition to, and do not

affect, Landlord's right of re-entry or other rights hereunder or provided by

law.  Nothing in this paragraph 24 shall be construed as implied consent by

Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.  Landlord expressly reserves the right

to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as

provided in this Lease on expiration or other termination of this Lease.  The

provisions of this paragraph 24 shall not be considered to limit or constitute a

waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided in this Lease or at

law.  The provisions of this paragraph 24 shall survive the expiration or early

termination of this lease.



     25.  SUBORDINATION.   In the event Landlord's title or leasehold interest

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

is now or hereafter encumbered in order to secure a loan to Landlord, Tenant

shall, at the request of Landlord or the lender, execute in writing an agreement

subordinating its rights under this lease to the lien of such encumbrance, or,

if so requested, agreeing that the lien of lender's encumbrance shall be or

remain subject and subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this lease

conditioned upon Tenant's receipt of a nondisturbance agreement, in form and

substance as customary in the lending industry.  Notwithstanding any such

subordination, Tenant's possession under this lease shall not be disturbed if

Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay all amounts due

hereunder and otherwise observe and perform all provisions of this lease.  In

addition, if in connection with any such loan lender shall request reasonable

modifications in this lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not

unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereof, provided that such

modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially

adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant's rights

hereunder.



     26.  CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL.   Each party shall, within five (5) business

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

days after request therefor, execute and deliver to the other party, in

recordable form, a certificate stating that the lease is unmodified and in full

force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified and stating the

modifications and certifying to its knowledge that there are no defaults under

this lease.  The certificate shall also state the amount of the monthly rent,

the date to which monthly rent has been paid in advance, the amount of the

security deposit and/or prepaid monthly rent, and, if the request is made by

either party, shall include such other items as either party or its lender may

reasonably request.  Failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall

constitute a conclusive acknowledgement by the party failing to deliver the

certificate that the lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified

except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate.  Any such

certificate requested by Landlord may be conclusively relied upon by any

prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or Project.  Further,

within five (5) calendar days following written 



                                     30.

<PAGE>

 

request made from time to time by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord

Tenant's most recent quarterly or annual financial statements.



     27.  SALE BY LANDLORD.   In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or

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

any successor owner of the Project or Premises, shall sell or convey the Project

or Premises, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the original

Landlord, or such successor owner, under this lease accruing thereafter shall

terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding

upon the new owner.  Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner and to look

solely to such new owner for performance of any and all such liabilities and

obligations.



     28.  ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY.   In the event the interest of

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

Landlord in the land and buildings in which the Premises are located (whether

such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold interest) is

encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by a lender or any

other third party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale

at private trustee's foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to release Landlord

of any obligation arising on or after any such foreclosure sale and to attorn to

the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as

the Landlord under this lease.



     29.  DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.   Landlord shall not be in default unless

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

Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable

time, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by

Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust

covering the Premises (provided Tenant has been given the address of such party)

specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided,

however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such that more than

thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in

default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and

thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.



          If Landlord is in default of this lease, Tenant's sole remedy shall be

to institute suit against Landlord in a court of competent jurisdiction, and

Tenant shall have no right to offset any sums expended by Tenant as a result of

Landlord's default against future rent and other sums due and payable pursuant

to this lease.  If Landlord is in default of this lease, and as a consequence

Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, the judgment shall be

satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment

and levy against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Project of

which the Premises are a part, and out of rent or other income from such real

property receivable by Landlord or out of the consideration received by Landlord

from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title

and interest in the Project of which the Premises are a part.  Neither Landlord

nor any of the partners comprising the partnership designated as Landlord shall

be personally liable for any deficiency.



     30.  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

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



                                     31.

<PAGE>

 

     31.  MEASUREMENT OF PREMISES.   Tenant understands and agrees that any

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

reference to square footage of the Premises is approximate only and includes all

interior partitions and columns, one-half of exterior walls, and one-half of the

partitions separating the Premises from the rest of the Project, and any outside

entry overhang, if applicable.  Tenant waives any claim against Landlord

regarding the accuracy of any such measurement and agrees that there shall not

be any adjustment in basic rent or direct expenses or other amounts payable

hereunder by reason of inaccuracies in such measurement.



     32.  ATTORNEY FEES.   If either party commences an action against the other

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

party arising out of or in connection with this lease, the prevailing party

shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party all expenses of

litigation, including, without limitation, travel expenses, reasonable attorney

fees, reasonable expert witness fees, trial and appellate court costs, and

deposition and transcript expenses.  If either party becomes a party to any

litigation concerning this lease or concerning the Premises or the Project, by

reason of any act or omission of the other party or its authorized

representatives, the party that causes the other party to become involved in the

litigation shall be liable to the other party for all expenses of litigation,

including, without limitation, travel expenses, reasonable attorney fees,

reasonable expert witness fees, trial and appellate court costs, and deposition

and transcript expenses.



     33.  SURRENDER.   The voluntary or other surrender of this lease or the

          ---------                                                         

Premises by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation of this lease, shall not work a

merger, and at the option of Landlord shall either terminate all or any existing

subleases or subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any

such subleases or subtenancies.



     34.  WAIVER.   No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy

          ------                                                               

of Landlord on any default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be

construed as a waiver.  The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent

rent or other payments shall not constitute a waiver of any other default and

acceptance of partial payments shall not be construed as a waiver of the balance

of such payment due.  No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without

limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an

acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of

the term.  Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute

acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this

lease.  Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring

Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render

unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a

waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this

lease.



     35.  EASEMENTS; AIRSPACE RIGHTS.   Landlord reserves the right to alter the

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

boundaries of the Project and grant easements and dedicate for public use

portions of the Project without Tenant's consent, provided that no such grant or

dedication shall interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or otherwise cause

          This lease confers no rights either with regard to the subsurface of

the land on which the Premises are located or with regard to airspace above the

ceiling of the Premises.  Tenant agrees that no diminution or shutting off of

light or view by a structure which is or may be erected (whether or not by

Landlord) on property adjacent to the building of which the Premises are a part

or to property adjacent thereto, shall in any way affect this lease, or entitle

Tenant to any reduction of rent, or result in any liability of Landlord to

Tenant.

the Premises, the Project and the Common Area, or for the preservation of good

order.  On delivery of a copy of such rules and regulations to Tenant, Tenant

shall comply with the rules and regulations, and a violation of any of them

shall constitute a default by Tenant under this lease.  If there is a conflict

between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this lease, the

provisions of this lease shall prevail.  Such rules and regulations may be

amended by Landlord from time to time with or without advance notice.
