      that insurance in the form and amounts described in this Section 4.04 may not be available in the future. Tenant acknowledges that the insurance described in this Section 4.04 is for the primary benefit of Landlord. If at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant is unable to maintain the insurance required under the Lease, Tenant shall nevertheless maintain insurance coverage which is customary and commercially reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant's type of business, as that coverage may change from time to time. Landlord makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to protect Landlord's or Tenant's interests.

              (iv)  Unless prohibited under any applicable insurance policies maintained, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others under its control, if such loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) at the time of such loss or damage Insert "Insert to Page 4 [1]".

            (a)    Common Areas.    As used in this Lease, "Common Areas" shall mean all areas within the Project which are available for the common use of tenants of the Project and which are not leased or held for the exclusive use of Tenant or other tenants, including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, landscaping and planted areas. Landlord, from time to time, may change the size, location, nature and use of any of the Common Areas, convert Common Areas into leaseable areas, construct additional parking facilities (including parking structures) in the Common Areas, and increase or decrease Common Area land and/or facilities. Tenant acknowledges that such activities may result in inconvenience to Tenant. Such activities and changes are permitted if they do not materially affect Tenant's use of or access to the Property.

            (b)    Use of Common Areas.    Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right (in common with other tenants and an other to whom Landlord has granted or may grant such rights) to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time. Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations and shall use its best effort to cause others who use the Common Areas with Tenant's express or implied permission to abide by Landlord's rules and regulations. At any time, Landlord may close any Common Areas to perform any acts in the Common Areas as, in Landlord's judgment, are desirable to improve the Project. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants or any other person entitled to use the Common Areas.

            (c)    Specific Provision re: Vehicle Parking.    Tenant shall be entitled to use the number of vehicle parking spaces in the Project allocated to Tenant in Section 1.11 of the Lease without paying any additional rent. Tenant's parking shall not be reserved and shall be limited to vehicles no larger than standard size automobiles or pickup utility vehicles. Tenant shall not cause large trucks or other large vehicles to be parked within the Project or on the adjacent public streets. Temporary parking of large delivery vehicles in the Project may be permitted by the rules and regulations established by Landlord. Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not in driveways, loading areas or other locations not specifically designated for parking. Handicapped spaces shall only be used by those legally permitted to use them. If Tenant parks more vehicles in the parking area than the number set forth in Section 1.11 of this Lease, such conduct shall be a material breach of this Lease. In addition to Landlord's other remedies under the Lease, Tenant shall pay a daily charge determined by Landlord for each such additional vehicle.

            (d)    Maintenance of Common Areas.    Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in good order, condition and repair and shall operate the Project, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, as a first-class industrial/commercial real property development. Tenant shall pay Tenant's pro rata share (as determined below) of all costs incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas. Common Area costs include, but are not limited to, costs and expenses for the following: gardening and landscaping; utilities, water and sewage charges; maintenance of signs (other than tenants' signs); premiums for liability, property damage, fire and other types of casualty insurance on the

6



    Common Areas and worker's compensation insurance; all property taxes and assessments levied on or attributable to the Common Areas and all Common Area improvements; all personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the Common Areas; straight-line depreciation on personal property owned by Landlord which is consumed in the operation or maintenance of the Common Areas; rental or lease payments paid by Landlord for rented or leased personal property used in the operation or maintenance of the Common Areas; fees for required licenses and permits; repairing, resurfacing, paving, maintaining, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items; reserves for roof replacement and exterior painting and other appropriate reserves; and a reasonable allowance to Landlord for Landlord's supervision of the Common Areas (not to exceed eight percent (8%) of the gross rents of the Project for the calendar year). Landlord may cause any or all of such services to be provided by third parties and the cost of such services shall be included in Common Area costs. Insert "Inserts to Page 5 [1]"

            (e)    Tenant's Share and Payment.    Tenant shall pay Tenant's annual pro rata share of all Common Area costs (prorated for any fractional month) upon written notice from Landlord that such costs are due and payable, and in any event prior to delinquency. Tenant's pro rata share shall be calculated by dividing the square foot area of the Property, as set forth in Section 1.04 of the Lease, by the aggregate square foot area of the Project which is leased or held for lease by tenants, as of the date on which the computation is made. Tenant's initial pro rata share is set out in Paragraph 1.12(b). Any changes in the Common Area costs and/or the aggregate area of the Project leased or held for lease during the Lease Term shall be effective on the first day of the month after such change occurs. Landlord may, at Landlord's election, estimate in advance and charge to Tenant as Common Area costs, all real property taxes for which Tenant is liable under Section 4.02 of the Lease, all insurance premiums for which Tenant is liable under Section 4.04 of the Lease, all maintenance and repair costs for which Tenant is liable under Section 6.04 of the Lease, and all other Common Area costs payable by Tenant hereunder. At Landlord's election, such statements of estimated Common Area costs shall be delivered monthly, quarterly or at any other periodic intervals to be designated by Landlord. Landlord may adjust such estimates at anytime based upon Landlord's experience and reasonable anticipation of costs. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the next rent payment date after notice to Tenant. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year of the Lease Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Common Area costs paid or incurred by Landlord during the preceding calendar year and Tenant's pro rata share. Upon receipt of such statement, there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to or credit given by Landlord (as the case may be) so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's share of such costs and expenses for such period.

        Section 4.06.    Late Charges.    Tenant's failure to pay rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Property. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

        Section 4.07.    Interest on Past Due Obligations.    Any amount owed by Tenant to landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

        Section 4.08.    Impounds for Insurance Premiums and Real Property Taxes.    If requested by any ground lessor or lender to whom Landlord has granted a security interest in the Property, or if Tenant is more than ten (10) days late in the payment of rent more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) -month period. Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real property taxes and insurance premiums payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall hold such payments in a non-interest bearing impound account. If unknown, Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of real property taxes and insurance premiums when due. Tenant shall pay any

7



deficiency of funds in the impound account to Landlord upon written request. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may apply any funds in the impound account to any obligation then due under this Lease.

ARTICLE FIVE:    USE OF PROPERTY    

        Section 5.01.    Permitted Uses.    Tenant may use the Property only for the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.06 above.

        Section 5.02.    Manner of Use.    Tenant shall not cause or permit the Property to be used in any way which constitutes a violation of any law, ordinance, or governmental regulation or order, which annoys or interferes with the right of tenants of the Project, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits, excluding a Certificate of Occupancy, required for Tenant's occupancy of the Property and shall promptly take all actions necessary to comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements regulating the use by Tenant of the Property, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Landlord shall be entitled to take into account such other factors or facts as Landlord may reasonably determine to be relevant in determining whether to grant or withhold consent to Tenant's proposed activity with respect to Hazardous Material. In no event, however, shall Landlord be required to consent to the installation or use of any storage tanks on the Property.

        Section 5.04.    Signs and Auctions.    Tenant shall not place any signs on the Property without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any auctions or sheriff's sales at the Property.

        Section 5.05.    Indemnity.    Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims or liability arising from: (a) Tenant's use of the Property; (b) the conduct of Tenant's business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to be cone in or about the Property, including any contamination of the Property or any other property resulting from the presence or use of Hazardous Material caused or permitted by Tenant; (c) any breach or default in the performance of Terant's obligations under this Lease: (d) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease; or (e) other negligent acts or omissions of Tenant.

Landlord may place customary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs on the Property.

The breach of Tenants obligation under this Paragraph 9.05(b) shall be a material default of the Lease.

        Section 9.06.    No Merger.    No merger shall result from Tenant's sublease of the Property under this Article Nine, Tenant's surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.

            (a) Not later than one hundred (100) days prior to any applicable Rental Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort to negotiate, in good faith, the fair rental value of the Properly as of such Rental Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Properly at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Rental Adjustment Date, the fair rental value shall be determined by appraisal, by one or more appraisers or brokers (herein called "Appraiser(s)"), as provided in Section B.2(b), below.

If the fair rental value is not determined prior to the applicable Rental Adjustment Date, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Base Rent applicable to the Property immediately prior to such Extension, until the fair rental value is determined.

I.     NOTIFICATION RE: NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (CBC Form 5230)

        This property may or may not be located in a Special Flood Hazard Area on United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) "Special Flood Zone Area Maps." Federal law requires that as a condition of obtaining federally related financing on most properties located in "flood zones," banks, savings and loan associations, and some insurance lender require flood insurance to be carried where the property, real or personal, is security for a loan. This requirement is mandated by the national Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The purpose of the program is to provide flood insurance to property owners at a reasonable cost. Cities or counties participating in the National Flood Insurance Program may have adopted building or zoning restrictions, or other measures, as part of their participation in the program. You should contact the city or county in which the property is located to determine any such restrictions. The extent of coverage available in you area and the cost of this coverage may vary, and for further information, you should consult your lender or insurance carrier.

II.    ALOUIST-PRIOLO NOTIFICATION: ALQUIST-PRIOLO SPECIAL EARTHQUAKE FAULT ZONING ACT (CBC Form 5228-5229)

        The Property described above is not situated in an Earthquake Fault Zone as designated under the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Acts. Sections 2621-2630, inclusive, of the California Public Resources Code: and, as such, the construction or development on the property of any structure for human occupancy may be subject to the findings of a geologic report prepared by a geologist registered in the State of California, unless such report is waived by the city or county under the terms of that Act.

III.  HAZARDOUS WASTES OR SUBSTANCES AND UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS

        Comprehensive federal and state laws and regulations have been enacted in the past several years in an effort to control the use, storage, handling, clean-up, removal and disposal of hazardous wastes or substances. Some of these laws and regulations (such as, for example, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)) provide for broad liability on the part of owners, tenants, or other users of property for clean-up costs and damages. regardless of fault. Another such statute is California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7(a), which provides in part that a Sub Lessor of nonresidential real property who knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that any release of a hazardous substance has come to be located on or beneath that real property shall, prior to the Lease, give written nonce of that condition to the Sub Lessee; and that failure of the Sub Lessor to provide written notice as required shall subject the Sub Lessor to liability for damages. Other



laws and regulations set standards for the handling of asbestos, and establish requirements for the use, modification, abandonment, and closure of underground storage tanks.

        It is not practical or possible to list all such laws and regulations in this Notice. Therefore, Sub Lessors and Sub Lessees are urged to consult legal counsel to determine their respective rights and liabilities with respect to the issues described in this Notice, as well as all other aspects of the proposed transaction.

FORDHAM PROPERTIES LEASE

GENERAL LEASE PROVISIONS

        ARTICLE 1    INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE    

        These General Lease Provisions are incorporated in and constitute part of the Lease document to which they are attached. Together with the Fundamental Lease provisions and any addenda, schedules, exhibits or attachments to this Lease, they are to be read and construed as the entire agreement of the parties in accordance with the provision of Section 20.24 hereof.

        ARTICLE 2    PREMISES    

        For and in consideration of the Rent and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises described in the Fundamental Lease Provisions for the term, at the Rent, and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants, and agreements set forth herein.

        ARTICLE 3    TERM    

        3.1    Term.    The term of this Lease will continue during the Lease term specified in the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease.

        3.2    Delay in Commencement.    Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Rent Commencement Date set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions. Landlord will not be liable for any damage thereby nor will such inability affect the validity of this Lease but in such case Tenant will not be obligated to pay Rent or other monetary sums until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant, If the delay in delivery of possession exceeds sixty (60) days, then Tenant at its option, to be exercised within ten (10) days after the end of the sixty (60) day period, may terminate this Lease. If Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises within six (6) months from said Rent Commencement Date, Landlord may, by notice in writing to Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel the Lease. If either party cancels as hereinabove provided, Landlord will return any monies previously deposited by Tenant and, the parties will be discharged from all obligations hereunder.

        3.3    Construction.    The obligations of Landlord and Tenant to perform work, supply labor and materials and prepare the Premises for occupancy are set forth in detail in Exhibit B to this Lease. Landlord and Tenant will expend all funds and do all acts required of them in Exhibit B and will have the work performed promptly and diligently and in a first-class, workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable Law. If Landlord is obligated hereunder to perform construction or remodeling work, then possession will not be deemed tendered and the term of this Lease will not commence until the first to occur of the following: (a) upon written certification by Landlord that Landlord's construction work (if any) has been substantially completed; or (b) upon the Tenant's substantial occupancy within the Premises.

        3.4    Acknowledgment of Commencement Date.    In the event the Rent Commencement Date is delayed beyond the sixty (60) days described in Section 3.2 of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant will execute a written acknowledgment of the Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Lease and will attach it to the Lease as an additional Exhibit.

        ARTICLE 4    RENT    

        4.1    Base Rent.    Tenant will pay the sum set forth in Section 5 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions of this Lease as Base Rent for the Premises in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month of the term of this Lease, without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4.1.1 of this Lease. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a month, or if the date on which the Lease terminates



or the Expiration Date is not the last day of a month, a prorated monthly installment will be paid at the then current rate for the fractional month during which the Rent Commencement or Expiration Date occurs or the Lease is terminated. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will not be required to send monthly statements and invoices as a condition to Tenant paying any Rent due under this Lease. Payment of Rent and Other Charges will be made to Landlord at the address for notice set forth in Section 12 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions of this Lease or elsewhere as directed by Landlord.

            4.1.1    Annual Base Rent Adjustment.    At the commencement of the second Lease Year, the Base Rent will be adjusted as follows. The Index published most immediately preceding the Rent Commencement Date (the "Beginning Index") will be compared to the Index published most immediately preceding the first month of the second Lease Year (the "Adjustment Index"). If the Adjustment Index has increased over the Beginning Index, the Base Rent for the second Lease Year will be set by multiplying the Base Rent for the first Lease Year by a fraction in which the numerator is the Adjustment index and the denominator is the Beginning Index. Base Rent for each subsequent Lease Year will be adjusted by application of the index for the Base Rent then in effect in the manner set forth above, subject to the following: (i) the Beginning Index will be the Adjustment Index at the time of the prior adjustment; (ii) the Adjustment Index will be the Index published most immediately preceding the first month of the next Lease Year. If Section 5(b) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions of this Lease is initialed by Tenant, the minimum and maximum annual increases based on the adjustments to Base Rent described herein will be applicable.
    SG 10/1/02

              A.    Alternate Index.    As soon as the Base Rent is set Landlord will give written notice to Tenant of the amount of the Base Rent. If the Index is changed so that the Base Year differs from the Base Year used as of the month preceding the Rent Commencement Date of the Lease, the Index will be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the Bureau. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term as extended, such other governmental Index or computation with which it is replaced will be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised. If the numerator of the fraction is not available at the Adjustment Date, Tenant will continue to pay the Base Rent in effect for the preceding Lease Year. Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency at such time as Base Rent is adjusted.
