  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease.

payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to
compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If
Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in
an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount then required of
Lessee. If the monthly rent shall, from time to time, increase during the term
of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of such increase, deposit with Lessor
additional money as a security deposit so that the total amount of the security
deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same proportion to the then
current Base Rent as the initial security deposit bears to the initial Base Rent
set forth in paragraph 4. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security
deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

6.       USE.

         6.1      USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for MEETING
AND STORAGE AREA or any other use which is reasonably comparable and for no
other purpose.

         6.2      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

                  (a)      Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the
state existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to
the use for which Lessee will occupy the Premises, does not violate any
covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable building code, regulation
or ordinance in effect on such Lease term commencement date. In the event it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation
of the Lessor, after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole
cost and expense, rectify any such violation. In the event Lessee does not give
to Lessor written notice of the violation of this warranty within six months
from the date that the Lease term commences, the correction of same shall be the
obligation of the Lessee at Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this
paragraph 6.2(a) shall be of no force or effect if, prior to the date of this
Lease, Lessee was an owner or occupant of the Premises and, in such event,
Lessee shall correct any such violation at Lessee's sole cost.

                  (b)      Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall,
at Lessee's expense, promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements of any fire insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect
or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in
policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof,
relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of
the Premises and of the Common Areas. Lessee shall not use nor permit the use of
the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create waste or
a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Center.

         6.3      CONDITION OF PREMISES.

                  (a)      Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and
free of debris on the Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in
possession) and Lessor warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, and
loading doors in the Premises shall be in good operating condition on the Lease
commencement date. In the event that it is determined that this warranty has
been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Lessor, after receipt of
written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the
violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost, rectify such violation. Lessee's
failure to give such written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the
Lease commencement date shall cause the conclusive presumption that Lessor has
complied with all of Lessor's obligations hereunder. The warranty contained in
this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be of no force or effect if prior to the date of
this Lease, Lessee was an owner or occupant of the Premises.

                  (b)      Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee
hereby accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease
commencement date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises,
whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and
state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the
Premises, and any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease
subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits
attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has
made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of
the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.

7.       MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND COMMON AREA SERVICES.

         7.1      LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs
4.2 (Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.2 (Lessee's Obligations) and 9 (Damage or
Destruction) and except for damage caused by any negligent or intentional act or
omission of Lessee, Lessee's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, or
invitees, in which event Lessee shall repair the damage, Lessor, at Lessor's
expense, subject to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good
condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of
interior bearing walls, and roof of the Premises, as well as the parking lots,
walkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility installations of the
Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the services for which
there is an Operating Expense pursuant to paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall not,
however, be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surface of exterior
walls, ?ILLEGIBLE? or shall Lessor be required to maintain, repair or replace
windows, doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessor shall have no obligation
to make repairs under ?ILLEGIBLE? this paragraph 7.1 until reasonable time after
receipt of written notice from Lessee of the need for such repairs. Lessee
expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which
would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or
to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good
order, condition and repair. Lessor shall not be liable for damages or loss of
any kind or nature by reason of Lessor's failure to furnish any Common Area
Services when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes,
lockout, or other labor disturbances or disputes of any character, or by any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of Lessor.

         7.2      LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 6 (Use), 7.1
(Lessor's Obligations), and 9 (Damage or Destruction), Lessee, at Lessee's
expense, shall keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every
part thereof (whether or not the damaged portion of the Premises or the means of
repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee) including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, including the
replacement of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, electrical
and lighting facilities and equipment within the Premises, fixtures, interior
walls and interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings, windows, doors, plate
glass, and skylights located within the Premises. Lessor reserves the right to
procure and maintain the ventilating and air conditioning system maintenance
contract and if Lessor so elects, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand,
for the costs thereof.

                  (b)      If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under
this paragraph 7.2 or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may enter
upon the Premises after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lessee (except in
the case of emergency, in which no notice shall be required), perform such
obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in good order condition and
repair, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the maximum rate
then allowable by law shall be due and payable as additional rent to Lessor
together with Lessee's next Base Rent installment.

                  (c)      On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Any
damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and
tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishings and equipment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
shall leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems,
lighting fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and fencing on the
Premises in good operating condition.

         7.3      ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

                  (a)      Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written
consent make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility Installations
in, on or about the Premises, or the Center, except for nonstructural
alterations to the Premises not exceeding $2,500 in cumulative costs, during
the term of this Lease. In any event, whether or not in excess of $2,500 in
cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or alteration to the exterior of
the Premises nor the exterior of the Building nor the Center without Lessor's
prior written consent. As used in this paragraph 7.3 the term "Utility
Installation" shall mean carpeting, window coverings, air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air
conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may require that Lessee remove any
or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations at
the expiration of the term, and restore the Premises and the Center to their
prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole
cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor
against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to insure
completion of the work, Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor
may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any
or all of the same.

                  (b)      Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises or the Center that Lessee shall desire to
make and which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor
in written form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent,
the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so
from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to
Lessor prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditions manner.

                  (c)      Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises, or the Center, or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to
post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Building as
provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any
such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend itself
and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment
that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor
or the Premises or the Center, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require,
Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount
equal to such contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same and holding the Premises and the Center free from the
effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay
Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest to do so.

                  (d)      All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall be the property of
Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the Lease term, unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to
paragraph 7.3(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7.3(d),
Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises,
and other than Utility Installations, shall remain the property of Lessee and
may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.2.

         7.4      UTILITY ADDITIONS. Lessor reserves the right to install new or
additional utility facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for
the benefit of Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Center, including,
but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical systems,
security systems, communication systems, and fire protection and detection
systems, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with
Lessee's use of the Premises.

extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is
required by a lender having a lien on the Premises) special extended perils (

Center, or by the nature of such other lessee's occupancy which create an
extraordinary or unusual risk.

                  (b)      Lessee, however, shall pay the entirety of any
increase in the property insurance premium for the Center over what it was

Lessee's occupancy or any act or omission of Lessee.

companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall
not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies carried by Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of liability
insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days after the
commencement date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject
to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days

other for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured

further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on

reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee
or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Center arising from any cause and
Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.

         8.8      EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises or the Center, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person
of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or
injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or
rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes,
sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures,
or from any other cause, whether said damage or injury results from conditions
arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Center, or from other

or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor shall not
be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee,
occupant or user of the Center, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the
provisions of any other lease of the Center.

Lessee of Lessee's Share of such taxes in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 4.2, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10.2.

         10.2     ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Lessee shall not be responsible for
paying Lessee's Share of any increase in real property tax specified in the tax
assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements
placed upon the Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment
of such other lessees. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time that
Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the entirety of any
increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

         10.3     DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX." As used herein, the term
"real property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed on the Center or any portion thereof
by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any
city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural,
sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as
against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Center or in any
portion thereof, as against Lessors right to rent or other income therefrom,
and as against Lessor's business of leasing the Center. The term "real property
tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in
substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge
hereinabove included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the
nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged
prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been increased since June
1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or
total, of Lessor's interest in the Center or which is added to a tax or charge
hereinbefore included within the definition of real property tax by reason of
such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any
modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.

         10.4     JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Center is not separately assessed,
Lessee's Share of the real property tax liability shall be an equitable
proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and improvements
included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by
Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or
such other information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable
determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

<PAGE>
         10.5     PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

                  (a)      Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.

                  (b)      If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.

11.      UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to the
Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor's option, either Lessee's Share or a
reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered
with other premises in the Building.

12.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         12.1     LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under paragraph 13.1. If Lessee
shall assign or sublet the Leased Premises or request the consent of Lessor to
any assignment or subletting, or if Lessee should request the consent of Lessor
for any act Lessee proposes to do, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within
thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill, all reasonable fees and costs incurred by
Lessor for attorneys, accountants, service of notice or any other services in
connection with said assignment or subletting or other act.

         12.2     LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
12.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate,"
provided that before such assignment shall be effective said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment
shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this
Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the
consent of whom shall not be necessary.

         12.3     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT. Regardless of Lessor's
consent, no assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or
alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the Base Rent and Lessee's Share of
Operating Expenses, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by
Lessee hereunder. Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee
pending approval or disapproval of such assignment. Neither a delay in the
approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of rent shall
constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for
the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.
Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor
of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against
said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or
amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without
notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or
their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of
liability under this Lease.

         12.4     TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be included in
subleases:

                  (a)      Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore
or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and
apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that
until a default shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, Lessee may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease to Lessor nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a
sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in
the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents due and to become due under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such
sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor, and that such sublessee shall pay such rents to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against such sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.

                  (b)      No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective
unless and until it has been approved in writing by Lessor. In entering into any
sublease, Lessee shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to
Lessor, and once approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or
modified without Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublessee shall, by reason
of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of
Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation herein to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Lessor has expressly consented in writing.

                  (c)      If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been
guaranteed by third parties, then a sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease and the terms thereof.

                  (d)      The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not
release Lessee from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Lessee to
pay the rent and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Lessee to be
performed under this Lease.

                  (e)      The consent by Lessor to any subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting by Lessee or to any assignment
or subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent
sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications
thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease
and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such
persons from liability.

                  (f)      In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible
for the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first
exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible
therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.

                  (g)      In the event Lessee shall default in the performance
of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from
the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of
Lessee under such sublease.

                  (h)      Each and every consent required of Lessee under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor.

                  (i)      No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or
any part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.

                  (j)      Lessor's written consent to any subletting of the
Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no default then
exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall
such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated by Lessor at the time.

                  (k)      With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has
consented, Lessor agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to
the sublessee. Such sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee
within ten (10) days after service of said notice of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and against Lessee for any such defaults cured by the sublessee.

         12.5     ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet
the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or
if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such request.

13.      DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

         13.1     DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee:

                  (a)      The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by
Lessee.

                  (b)      The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or
any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due,
where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee
with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer
statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice
required by this subparagraph.

                  (c)      Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than
described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's noncompliance is such that
more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee
shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said
thirty (30) day period

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. To the extent
permitted by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and
exclusive notice required to be given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful
Detainer statutes.

                  (d)      (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement
or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a
"debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto
(unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed
within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take
possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Promises or of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee
within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within
thirty (30) days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

                  (e)      The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
given to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, was materially false.

         13.2     REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default by Lessee,
Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by
reason of such default:

                  (a)      Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall
terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to
Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all
damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default including, but not
limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of
reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises,
reasonable attorney's fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the
worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing
commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired
term of this Lease.

                  (b)      Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case
this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or
abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of
Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

                  (c)      Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.

         13.3     DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless
Lessor falls to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time,
but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to
Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee
in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation,
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

         13.4     LATE CHARGES. Should Lessee fail to pay, when due and payable,
the minimum monthly rental or any additional rental, such unpaid amounts shall
bear interest at the maximum legal rate from the date the debt was incurred to
the date of ultimate payment. Said interest amount shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any late charge assessed for the debt incurred. Late charges
shall not be included in calculating interest due. In addition to such interest,
?ILLEGIBLE? stipulates that the late payment by Lessee of any monthly
rental/additional rental will cause Lessor to incur certain costs and expenses
not ?ILLEGIBLE? by the parties/lease hereto, the exact amount of which costs
are extremely difficult to ascertain. As such, if any such installment is not
received by Lessor from Lessee within five (5) days of its due date, Lessee
shall forthwith pay as additional rent, a late charge of ten percent (10%) of
that amount due. Lessor and Lessee agree that such late charge represents a
reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to
Lessor for the loss caused by Lessee's nonpayment. Payment(s) made by Lessee
shall be applied by Lessor, subject to Lessor's sole discretion, first to late
charges incurred, then to common area maintenance/operating expense as
additional rent, and lastly to base rent. Lessor's acceptance of this late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to
nonpayment of the subject debt, nor prevent Lessor from exercising all other
rights, claims, or remedies, known or unknown, available to Lessor pursuant to
this lease or under California or federal law.

14.      CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Center are
taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the
exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation "), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten
percent of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent of
that portion of the Common Areas designated as parking for the Center is taken
by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only
within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such
taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the
condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the
date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not
terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect as to the portion of the premises remaining, except
that the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the
Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. No reduction of
rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have the Premises
located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises
under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall
be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the
taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall
be entitled to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and
removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by
reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages
received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to
the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has
been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any
amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

15.      BROKER'S FEE.

         (a)      Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, upon occupancy
of the premises by Lessee, and receipt of any deposits and/or initial rental
payment, Lessor shall pay to N/A Licensed real estate broker(s) a fee as set
forth in a separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event
there is no separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of
$-0-, for brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this
transaction.

16.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

         (a)      Each party (as "responding party ") shall at any time upon not
less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from the other party ( "requesting
party ") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in
writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the responding party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon
by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or of the
business of the requesting party.

         (b)      At the requesting party's option, the failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material default of this Lease by the
party who is to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall
be conclusive upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance, and (iii)
if Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one month's rent has been paid
in advance.

         (c)      If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Property,
or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors of Lessee's performance hereunder
hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such
financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be reasonably required
by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three (3)
years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be
received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used
only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.      LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Center, and except as expressly provided in
paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Lessor
herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the grantor) shall be
relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects
Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the
hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which
Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations
contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid,
be binding on Lessors successors and assigns, only during their respective
periods of ownership.

18.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

19.      INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided,
any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not
excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.

20.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations
to be performed under this Lease.

21.      ADDITIONAL RENT. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Lessee's Share of Operating
Expenses and insurance and tax expenses payable shall be deemed to be rent.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
22.      INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No
?ILLEGIBLE? contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such
matter shall be effective. This lease may be modified in writing only, signed by
the parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise
stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate
broker listed in paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating broker on this
transaction nor the Lessor or any employee or agents of any of said persons has
made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the
condition or use by Lessee of the Premises or the Property and Lessee
acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational
Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the
compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the
term of this Lease except as otherwise specifically stated in this Lease.

23.      NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if
given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to
Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective
parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a
different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking
possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for
notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at
such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to
Lessee.

24.      WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.

25.      RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.

26.      HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of
this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all Options, if any,
granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed terminated and be of no
further effect during said month to month tenancy.

27.      CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

28.      COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by

restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
paragraph 17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State

parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the Center is located.

30.      SUBORDINATION.

         (a)      This Lease, and any Option granted hereby, at Lessor's option,
shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other
hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Center and to any and
all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such
subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be
?ILLEGIBLE? if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the rent
and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease
is ?ILLEGIBLE? terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or
ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby
prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or
such Options are dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

         (b)      Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate
an attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted
herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the
case may be. Lessee's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days
after written demand shall constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder
without further notice to Lessee or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall execute
such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does
hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such
documents in accordance with is paragraph 30(b).

31.      ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party or the broker(s) named herein bring an
action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing
party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his
reasonable attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court.
The provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named
herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.

32.      LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting the same,
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or the Building any
ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of
the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.
All activities of Lessor pursuant to this paragraph shall be without abatement
of rent, nor shall Lessor have any liability to Lessee for the same.

33.      AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas

exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such
consent.

34.      SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises of the Center
without Lessor's prior written consent. Under no circumstances shall Lessee
place a sign on any roof of the Center.

35.      MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.

36.      CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

37.      GUARENTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

38.      QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of

is personal to the original Lessee and may be exercised only by the original
Lessee while occupying the Premises who does so without the intent of thereafter
assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises or any portion thereof, and may
not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any
person or entity other than Lessee, provided, however, that an Option may be
exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as defined in paragraph 12.2 of
this Lease. The Options, if any, herein granted to Lessee are not assignable
separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this
Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.

         39.3     MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.

         39.4     EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

                  (a)      Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during
the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default
pursuant to paragraph 13.1 (b) or 13.1 (c) and continuing until the
noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the
period of time commencing on the date after a monetary obligation to Lessor is
due from Lessee and unpaid (without necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) and
continuing until the obligation is paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of
default described in paragraphs 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), nor (iv) in the
event that Lessor has given to Lessee three or more notices of default under
paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured,
during the 12 month period of time immediately prior to the time that Lessee
attempts to exercise the subject Option.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

                  (b)      The period of time within which an Option may be
exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to
exercise ?ILLEGIBLE? because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).

                  (c)      All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an
Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and

obligation of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation
becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee),
or (ii) Lessee fails to commence to cure a default specified in paragraph
13.1(c) within thirty (30) days after the date that Lessor gives notice to
Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails thereafter to diligently prosecute
said cure to completion, or (iii) Lessee commits a default described in
paragraph 13.1(a), 13.1(d) or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to give
notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more
notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not
the defaults are cured.

40.      SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for
the benefit of the Premises or the Center. Lessee assumes all responsibility for
the protection of Lessee, its agents, and invitees and the property of Lessee
and of Lessee's agents and invitees from acts of third parties. Nothing herein
contained shall prevent Lessor, at Lessor's sole option, from providing security
protection for the Industrial Center or any part thereof, in which event the
cost thereof shall be included within the definition of Operating Expenses, as
set forth in paragraph 4.2(b).

41.      EASEMENTS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time to
grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or
desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long
as such easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign
any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so
shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee without the need for
further notice to Lessee.

42.      PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right
on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

43.      AUTHORITY. If Lessee is a corporation, trust, or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this
Lease, deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.

44.      CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and
the typewritten or handwritten provisions, if any, shall be controlled by the
typewritten or handwritten provisions.

45.      OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by Lessor or Lessor's agent and
submission of same to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Lease
shall become binding upon Lessor and Lessee only when fully executed by Lessor
and Lessee.

46.      ADDENDUM. Attached hereto is an addendum or addenda containing
paragraphs 47 through 51 which constitute a part of this Lease.

against Lessee or the Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery,
compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any

hazardous waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all

48.4 INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lessor, its trustees, officers, employees and agents, and the
beneficiary or mortgagee under any deed of trust or mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering all or any portion of the Premise, from and against any and all
suits, actions, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, damages,
fines, punitive damages, losses, costs, liabilities, interest, attorneys' fees
(including any such fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnity),
resulting from or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Use of Hazardous
Materials on or about the Premises. The indemnity set forth herein shall
include, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair,
clean-up or detoxification of the Premises and the surrounding property and
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease.

48.5 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OR FINANCIAL CAPACITY. If at any time it reasonably
appears to Lessor that Lessee is not maintaining sufficient insurance or other
means of financial capacity to enable Lessee to fulfill its obligation to Lessor
hereunder, whether or not then accrued, liquidated, conditional or contingent,
Lessee shall procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such
insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or from companies or
persons and in forms reasonably acceptable to Lessor as Lessor may from time to
time reasonably request.

                               GUARANTEE OF LEASE

WHEREAS as a certain Lease of even date herewith has been, or will be, executed
by and between FOUR AMIGOS, A CA. LTD., therein referred to as "Lessor", and
MISSION VALLEY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP OF SAN DIEGO, A CALIFORNIA NON-PROFIT
RELIGIOUS CORPORATION, therein and herein referred to as "Tenant", covering
certain premises in the City of SAN DIEGO, County of SAN DIEGO, State of
CALIFORNIA.

WHEREAS, the Lessor under said Lease requires as a condition to its execution of
said Lease that the undersigned Guarantor guarantee the full performance of the
obligations of Tenant under said Lease; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor is desirous that Lessor enter into said Lease with Tenant.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution of said Lease by Lessor,
Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the full performance of each and all
of the terms, covenants, and conditions of said Lease to be kept and performed
by Tenant, including the payment of all rentals and other charges to accrue
thereunder. Guarantor further agrees as follows:

1.0      PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LEASE:

         (a)      PERFORMANCE: In the case Tenant shall fail to perform any
                  agreement or comply with any condition contained in the Lease
                  and required to be performed or complied with by it,
                  Guarantor, whether or not such failure constitutes a default
                  under the Lease, will perform or comply with the same before
                  any grace period for remedying the same has expired. Guarantor
                  will pay all costs and expenses (including without limitation,
                  attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the
                  enforcement of the obligations of Tenant and in connection
                  with the enforcement of Guarantor's obligations under this
                  Agreement.

         (b)      RENT: Without limiting the generality of subsection (a), and
                  without being limited thereby, Guarantor unconditionally
                  guarantees that Tenant will duly and punctually pay all fixed
                  Rent (as defined in the Lease), and additional rent (Fixed
                  Rent and additional rent being hereinafter collectively called
                  "Rent"), damages (whether provided for in the Lease or
                  otherwise allowed by law) and all other sums payable by Tenant
                  under the Lease. Such guarantee is an absolute, unconditional,
                  continuing guarantee of payment and not of collectibility, and
                  is in no way conditioned upon any attempt to collect from
                  Tenant or upon any other event or contingency. If Tenant shall
                  fail duly and punctually to pay any such sum, Guarantor will
                  forthwith pay the same, together with interest thereon at the
                  rates and under the conditions contained in the Lease.

2.0      PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF RENT: In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or
         similar proceeding with respect to tenancy in which the Lease shall be
         terminated or rejected or the obligations of Tenant shall be modified,
         Guarantor will pay an amount equal to the Rent which would have been
         payable by it pursuant to the Lease, accrued to the date of such
         termination, rejection or modification and shall thereafter pay an
         amount equal to the Rent which would have been payable by it pursuant
         to the Lease on the days when the same would have been due except for
         such termination, rejection or modification.

3.0      OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR: The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall
         be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any
         counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim
         Guarantor may have against Tenant or Lessor, and shall remain in full
         force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
         discharged, or in any way affected by any circumstance or condition
         (whether or not Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof),
         including without limitation: (a) any amendment or modification of or
         supplement to the Lease; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence
         or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Lease, or any
         exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
         or in respect of the Lease; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or
         similar proceeding with respect to Tenant; or (d) any limitation on the
         liability of Tenant under the Lease or any invalidly or
         unenforceability, in whole or in part of the Lease or any term thereof.

                  forthwith pay the same, together with interest thereon at the
                  rates and under the conditions contained in the Lease.

2.0      PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF RENT: In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or
         similar proceeding with respect to tenancy in which the Lease shall be

         Guarantor will pay an amount equal to the Rent which would have been
         payable by it pursuant to the Lease, accrued to the date of such
         termination, rejection or modification and shall thereafter pay an
         amount equal to the Rent which would have been payable by it pursuant
         to the Lease on the days when the same would have been due except for
         such termination, rejection or modification.

3.0      OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR: The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall
         be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any
         counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim
         Guarantor may have against Tenant or Lessor, and shall remain in full
         force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,

<PAGE>

4.0      WAIVERS: Guarantor unconditionally waives (a) notice of any of the
matters referred to in Section 3.0(b) all notices which may be required by
statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve or assert any rights against
Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any demand, proof or notice
of nonpayment of any Rent, damages or other sums payable under this Lease, and
notice of any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any term
or condition of the Lease, (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the
Lease, (d) any requirement of diligence, (e) any requirement to mitigate, by
eviction of Tenant and the reletting of the Premises or otherwise, the damages
resulting from a default by Tenant under the Lease, and (f) any right to a
trial by jury in any action or proceeding hereunder or under the Lease.

5.0      WAIVER OF RIGHT TO REQUIRE LESSOR TO PROCEED AGAINST TENANT FIRST:
         Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to (a) proceed against
         Tenant, its successor, assignee or subtenant; (b) proceed against or
         exhaust any security held from Tenant, its successor, assignee or
         subtenant; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Lessor's power whatsoever.
         Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or
         other defense of Tenant or by reason of the cessation from any cause
         whatsoever of the liability of the Tenant. Until all indebtedness or
         other obligations of Tenant to Lessor shall have been paid in full,
         Guarantor shall ave no right to subrogation, and waives any right to
         enforce any remedy which Lessor now has or may hereafter have against
         Tenant, and waives any benefit or, and any right to participate in any
         security now or hereafter held by Lessor. Guarantor waives all
         presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance,
         protests, notices of protest, notices dishonor, notice of sales, and
         notices of acceptance of this Guarantee and of the existence, creation,
         or incurring of new or additional indebtedness.

6.0      SUBORDINATION OF TENANT'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the
         indebtedness of Tenant to Lessor, whether now existing or hereafter
         created, shall be prior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or
         hereafter acquire against Tenant, whether or not Tenant becomes
         insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor
         may have against Tenant, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that
         Lessor may now or hereafter have against Tenant. In the event of
         insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of Tenant, through
         bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary
         liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Tenant applicable to the
         payment of the claims of both Lessor and Guarantor shall be paid to
         Lessor and shall be first applied by Lessor to the indebtedness of
         Tenant to Lessor. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lessor all claims
         which it may have or acquire against Tenant or any assignee or trustee
         in bankruptcy of Tenant; provided, that such assignment shall be
         effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lessor full payment of
         all indebtedness of Tenant to Lessor.

7.0      GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS: Guarantor warrants
         and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with
         Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and
         that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not
         contrary to public policy or law. If any of such waivers is determined
         to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver
         shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law.

8.0      WAIVER OF AUTHENTICATION OF VALIDITY OF ACTS OF CORPORATION OR
         PARTNERSHIP: If Tenant or Guarantor are corporations or partnerships,
         it is not necessary for Lessor to inquire into the powers of borrower
         or Guarantor or the officers, directors, partners, or agents acting or
         purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created
         in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
         guaranteed hereunder.

9.0      OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS: Any married person who signs this
         Guaranty as the Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that recourse may be
         had against his or her separate property for all his or her obligations
         under this Guaranty.

10.0     JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS: This Agreement shall be
         binding upon Guarantor, and if more than one Guarantor, each of them
         jointly and severally, its successors and assignees, and shall inure to
         the benefit of and be enforceable by Lessor, and any holder of a
         mortgage on such Premises or any assignee under an assignment of
         Lessor's interest in the Lease given as security for any such mortgage,
         and their respective successors and assignees.

11.0     APPLICATION OF SINGULAR AND PLURAL IN CONTEXT AND CONSTRUCTION. In all
         cases where there are more than Guarantor, then all words used herein
         in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural where
         the context and construction so require; and where Guaranty is executed
         by more than one Guarantor, the word "Guarantor" shall mean all and any
         one or more of them.

12.0     CALIFORNIA LAWS APPLICABLE: This Guaranty is governed by and construed
         in accordance with the laws of the state of California.

<PAGE>

13.0     AMENDMENTS MUST BE IN WRITING: Neither this Agreement nor any term
         hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
         only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which such
         amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought to be charged.

14.0     INTEGRATED DOCUMENT: This writing is intended by the parties to be an
         integrated and final expression of the guarantee agreement and also is
         intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of that
         agreement. No course of prior dealing between the parties, no usage of
         trade, and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used
         to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms hereof. There are no
         conditions to the full effectiveness of this guarantee agreement. This
         Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall
         be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
         instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be
executed as of the date of said Lease which is dated NOVEMBER 17, 1995.
